Embers

Nie Budu barely slept that night.

Even though the few killers he experienced before could easily deal with Ember without using magic skills, he couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be more powerful people coming at night.And judging by Ember's appearance, even if someone came, he would not resist, but would deliberately pretend to be deaf to cooperate with the opponent's assassination.

This caused Nie Budu a very headache, even though he agreed to leave the hut, he still didn't have any desire to survive, which was a pain for our Great Hierarch Nie.

Early the next morning, Nie Budu pushed open the door with a sleepy expression on his face, and he suddenly felt a kind of resentment in front of Ember, who was dressed in white and looked refreshed.

Ember passed by him expressionlessly, and went downstairs to eat.Nie Budu once again felt that he was being ignored.

No, it should be called, contemptuously.

He dared to pretend he didn't see him, he dared to shut himself out, and he dared not answer what he said...he was the only one in the world with such courage!

When Nie Budu was pacing downstairs, Ember had already ate all the things on the table, and what greeted Nie Budu was a table full of leftovers.

"..."

I stay up late to protect you, is this how you repay me? !

Ember didn't care about Nie Budu's darkened face in an instant, he straightened up and prepared to go out.

"What are you going to do?"

He glanced at Nie Budu, and there was a rare hint of confusion in his eyes.

Nie Budu didn't know why.

After a while, Ember dropped two words coldly: "Toilet."

"..."

Sitting down, Nie Budu felt that he had never dealt with such a difficult person before, and suddenly thought that he should belong to Ember's bodyguard at this time, and his mood was hard to describe.

I have been walking all day, leaving Fujiang City is the suburbs, there is nothing to see along the way except for the trees, Ember still chooses to close her eyes and rest.

Nie Budu leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, and soon felt drowsy under the bumps. He took a breath calmly, and made himself a pot of green tea to refresh himself.

But the atmosphere inside the car was really dull, the driver was outside, Ember didn't speak, and he didn't even play chess with anyone, after a while, he felt sleepy again.

In order to stay awake all the time, he had to keep his eyes on Ember.

This man is really, there is no imperfection in his whole body, his eyes are closed and he is leaning to one side, with a few strands of black hair falling on the side of his cheeks, his nose is straight, his lips are thin, his long eyelashes are trembling slightly, and there is a small hole under the corner of his left eye. tear mole.

It is said that the mole of tears is a bad meaning. It is destined that the eyes will be full of tears in this life and grow for love.The photo book goes like this: a lifetime of flowing water, half a life of floating, the so-called lonely star's fate.

But Nie Budu only saw him cry once, that time in front of Ye Bozhou's grave, and no matter how much he missed and suffered, he never shed tears again.

Nie Budu not only thought that when he first met him, ten years ago at Qiao's house, the blood-stained, terrified and stubborn little boy, at that time, he just casually glanced at him, and turned his life into this Fragmented look.

Rarely, the always sinister and cunning Hierarch Nie felt guilty for the first time.

Before he even realized what he was doing, he stretched out his hand uncontrollably, as if he wanted to touch the other person's face.

Ember's eyes had opened at some point, and she looked at him expressionlessly, with mockery in her eyes.

"..."

Nie Budu quickly withdrew his hand, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

Ember glanced at him with a half-smile, and closed her eyes again.

Of course Nie Budu didn't have the habit of explaining to others, so he calmed down for a while and closed his eyes to rest.

Because there were too many things in my mind, I didn't check it for a while, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

Feeling the steady breathing over there, Ember quietly sat up.

He stared at Nie Budu coldly for a long time, and put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The icy sword blade lay across Nie Budu's neck for a long while, Ember's eyes were cold and full, his hands were steady and strong, and he didn't tremble at all because he realized what he was about to do.

"Remember to act quickly, I don't like pain."

After Ember paused, Nie Budu was looking at him lazily with half-opened eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Calmly, it doesn't look like preparing to die, but rather like enjoying this moment.

Ember's eyes darkened: "You didn't fall asleep?"

Nie Budu smiled: "Of course I fell asleep, but as a Jianghu person, can I still not feel the sword across my neck?"

Ember had no expression on her face, she was about to force her hand, but stopped because of Nie Budu's words.

"This seat is dead, and you will be the next Demon Sect leader."

"..."

Ember looked at him coldly.

Nie Budu smiled leisurely: "I don't know if you have heard of the recent rumors about the Devil's Cult? Do you also think that this seat is interested in you? Then you are wrong. Of course there are talents like you. Great use, such as taking over the Devil's Cult for fun."

Ember frowned, but the corner of his mouth smirked coldly, the majestic leader of the Demon Cult, in order to save his life, would even tell such a lie.

Nie Budu knew that he didn't believe him, and said again: "If the head of the Demon Sect has a crush on you, why bother? With a wave of your hand, someone will tie you up and send you to my bed. Not only did I personally accompany you, but I didn’t bring anyone with me, so doesn’t that explain anything?”

Ember obviously didn't want to know what he was trying to explain.

Nie Budu had no choice but to continue: "This shows that this seat attaches great importance to you. Although it sounds absurd, this seat does intend to let you succeed the position of leader. Because this seat got the "Wrong Flower Heart Sutra" too late, and the backlash has already deepened." Bone marrow, within ten years, I will die."

Ember was stunned for a moment, and immediately went to feel his pulse. Sure enough, the pulse was chaotic, which was a sign of deep backlash!

Nie Budu said: "The so-called people who are about to die have good words, since I already know that I am going to die, how can I lie to you?"

Ember stared at him and said, "I'm not interested in your Demon Cult."

"Of course I know." Nie Budu even lazily yawned, "So, didn't I come here personally to ask you to change your mind?"

"..."

Ember gave him a cold look, took back the sword, sat aside, and sent out two words: "It's useless!"

Seeing him close his eyes again, Nie Budu smiled, and said, "How will you know if you don't try?", while calmly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

If I hadn't woken up suddenly because of something I thought of just now, I'm afraid I would have been decapitated by now!

If it continues like this, even if it is stabilized today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and in the future, there will always be a day when he will strike again!

So he said calmly: "Do you know how I became the leader?"

Ember seemed to have never heard of it, and he was not interested in it at all.

Nie Budu said indifferently: "When I was young, my family was very poor. My biological parents listened to the slander and sold me to a brothel as a young man after seeing that I was beautiful. I met the previous leader, Si Yuzheng. He accidentally discovered that I was extremely talented, so he brought me back to the Devil's Cult, and asked me to practice the "Wrong Flower Heart Sutra", which was still a fragment at the time."

Ember was unmoved.

Nie Budu continued: "I practiced quickly. When I was 13 years old, I defeated Master Fengguo and Master Handan at Luoyan Peak. The old leader was very happy, and he began to value me. Once the old leader took me out, I was assassinated unintentionally, so I made a will and asked me to succeed the leader."

He paused, and the next thing he wanted to say was the main point: "Before this, the old leader really wanted to find the complete copy of "Cuohuaxinjing", so he made a plan to destroy the door of Qiao's family before. I became After the leader, everyone in the Demon Cult thought that I was from a humble background and was not worthy of being the leader. Almost no one listened to me. I was only 15 years old at the time, and I had no power in my hands. I couldn't fight them, so I had to follow what they said, Fulfill the last wish of the old leader. Before that, I never thought of killing so many people for a copy of the "Wrong Flower Heart Sutra."

Ember said with a cold face: "This is just your one-sided statement."

Nie Budu lowered his head slightly, twitched the corners of his mouth, lowered his eyes to cover his emotions, and said with a smile, "Believe it or not."

Ember glanced at him, he leaned on the cushion in a very relaxed posture, but was wrapped in an indescribable loneliness.

Ember looked back and said no more.

The carriage finally arrived at Pingsha City until the sun set and the twilight merged.

As usual, stay at the best inn in the city and eat at the best restaurant in the city.

Today Nie Budu deliberately changed into a soot gauze dress. This is the conclusion he came to after the introspection last night: wearing red clothes is too big a target, and it is too easy to attract danger.

Although there are not as many people in Pingsha City as Fujiang, there are still many people who are willing to gossip.

The two were sitting by the window waiting for the food to be served when they heard someone talking loudly over there.

"Yes, I heard that the demon leader Nie Budu went out alone this time, without any entourage! A friend of mine seemed to see the demon's carriage yesterday, but he didn't dare to deny it. I also heard that this time Nie Budu also brought that scum, Ember, with him, this time it's a good thing, if anyone can catch them, they will save the world from two scourges!"

Someone said: "But Nie Budu didn't die this year. Is there anyone in the Jianghu who doesn't know how powerful he is? Adding an ember, one person wiped out the entire Xiaxian sect. Who can beat him?"

Another person said: "As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil will last for thousands of years! When grandpa becomes powerful, I have to chop that Nie Budu into eight pieces!"

It was the first time Nie Budu heard that someone was going to chop him into eight pieces, and it was quite novel, so he turned his head sideways to listen to that person.

Someone asked: "Why do you hate Nie Budu so much? What did he do to you?"

The man patted the table indignantly: "It's not my stinky bitch! Every day she argues that Nie Budu is the most beautiful man in the world, and she insists on remarrying Nie Budu! Isn't it because I met Nie Budu on the street before?" That’s good, it’s like being possessed when I come back, telling me every day that Nie Budu looks like a fairy, and that he smiled at her, damn it, he must have been bewitched by that monster Nie Budu!”

The people around felt sympathetic and resentful for him, only Nie Budu upstairs was very interested in hearing it.

Someone asked again: "Brother, how old is your wife?"

The man said: "As old as me! 57 this year!"

"puff!"

Nie Budu sprayed his tea on the ground.

Ember sitting opposite him twitched the corner of his mouth, and the trace of mockery in his eyes was fleeting.
