The protagonist of the book is blackening

Chu Jinran stopped abruptly.There is no star or moon tonight, and the surroundings are dark and misty. In the silent night, the only sound that can be heard is his panting.

He put down Su Che who was in a coma as carefully as possible, and then fell to the ground without strength, staring at the sky blankly.Although the surroundings are pitch black, the cultivator can still see things clearly in the darkness. Chu Jinran saw that there were a few pure black clouds floating in the pure black sky. It's still a matter of denying Yun Duo.His heart was still pounding, and he wanted to break free from his chest and jump out. Chu Jinran gently raised the cold long sword and pressed it to his face—much better.He thought quietly.Although the sword was dirty and covered with the sticky and wet blood of the zombies, he couldn't care less. He needed to calm down his mind before continuing to think about more important issues.

Should he go back and check Nether Village?Chu Jinran gritted his teeth. He still had a few fellow disciples there, but when Youming Village became Nether Village, the village was full of zombies and grudges from the underworld. His fellow disciples knew what would happen without even thinking about it. Bar.

Chu Jinran gave a rare wry smile.

But when he didn't see the truth, he never gave up.So what if you don't give up?Chu Jinran sighed softly, do he want to go back again and die for no reason?

He moved the long sword away from his face, and continued to stare blankly at the sky, which was pitch black.Can't go back, he said softly to himself, can't go back to Nether Village.

At dawn the next day, Chu Jinran returned to Lingxiao Palace in a daze.

When he brought back the news that everyone died in the underworld, there was an uproar.There is grief, there is doubt, there is anger.Chu Jinran had no intention of responding to those who questioned why everyone died and only Chu Jinran and Su Che came back.Now he can only wait for the elders of the sect to come up with a feasible method with hope, not revenge, but even if it is to welcome back all the corpses of the same sect.Even though he thought so, how could an elder make a sound?The underworld has always been the world of the dead. The world of the dead has always been arrogant, unreasonable, and extremely hostile to the living. There is also a rule in the underworld. All living people who step into the underworld, without exception, must be smashed into pieces. Food for the dead, under such circumstances, it is obvious that every elder believes that revenge is not worth the gain.And the Nether Village that Chu Jinran once visited with his fellow disciples seemed to be swallowed up by some kind of mysterious space, and since then it was no longer seen, leaving only a dark vortex.

Chu Jinran is not a sentimental person, but he is not a ruthless person either. Just because those who have gone here are all potential seedlings in the sect, the death of all of them is enough to be regretted by people, not to mention, there are still people who died to save him. Dead brother Sigui...

As soon as Chu Jinran thought of this, he felt sad for a while. When he was eating, it seemed that Brother Si Gui's teasing laughter sounded from the opposite side.He practiced sword, and when he practiced sword, he always felt that senior brother Si Gui was standing aside and laughing.Even if he was teasing and meditating, he couldn't calm down at all. His mind was full of the matter of brother Sigui's death to cover him. He eats by himself, but no matter what kind of delicacies he eats, they are all tasteless in his mouth. Liu Bingye, which makes people feel refreshed when eaten in the backyard of Lingxue Palace, seems to have lost its effect on him.Although a cultivator can go without food for days, it will not be a good thing in the long run.

As a result, Chu Jinran's body lost weight rapidly, and his usually calm and cautious eyes also became dazed.

Chu Jinran was already out of his mind, but someone was even more out of his mind than him.

That is Elder Xuanzhen who has not appeared much since he was accepted as a disciple.When Chu Jinran told him that Senior Brother Sigui had died, Xuanzhen's face was still indifferent. When Chu Jinran asked for punishment, he was not moved, but he was punished with two hundred thorn whips. The pain in his body was to the marrow, but Chu Jinran still gritted his teeth and endured it without saying a word. Compared with the dozen or so classmates who died unjustly, this is really nothing.

Elder Xuanzhen's loss of soul is not like ordinary people who don't think about food and drink. On the surface, you can't see any clues. His changes are in the subtleties, as if one day, a certain moment, when you regain consciousness When he came, his icy expression had disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile—exactly the same as Senior Brother Si Gui's, even the arc remained the same.

Although he still ignored Chu Jinran as always, almost treating him as an invisible person.

When Chu Jinran saw Elder Xuanzhen who had become inexplicable, he suddenly became sober. The strangeness of others reminded him of himself, and a gap of clarity seemed to open in his drowsy mind for the past few days.Chu Jinran felt that his body was extremely weak, so he walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror—as if in a lifetime, the face of the person in the mirror was so pale that it was even whiter than snow. Also like snow, it will melt and dissipate in the air after being exposed to sunlight.

……No.Chu Jinran watched the misty eyes of the person in the mirror gradually become sharper. The snow on Lingxue Peak would not melt no matter how much sunlight it exposed to.

He also suddenly had an appetite, the food was no longer tasteless in his mouth, and he was able to concentrate suddenly, no matter how he practiced the sword and meditated, there would be no longer the lingering figure of Senior Brother Si Gui.

Only now did Chu Jinran have the time to think about Su Che.

Since returning from Nether Village that day, Su Che has been in a coma, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep sleep, or maybe he was accumulating strength for his future awakening.

To Chu Jinran's satisfaction, although Su Che was in a coma, he would still accept feeding him.When Chu Jinran came to his senses, he carefully checked Su Che's whole body. Seeing that there was no suspicious sign of poisoning on Su Che, he was relieved.And... Chu Jinran squeezed Su Che's powerful arm thoughtfully, it was not like the limp skin of a comatose person at all.Chu Jinran got up, and his drooping eyes lingered on Su Che's face seriously. He was surprised to find that the youthful aura on Su Che's face disappeared, replaced by a more mature and condensed aura .

Chu Jinran realized for the first time that Su Che was no longer a boy.

He thought in a daze: Since his face has become deeper and more mature, what about his mind?Is the day of complete blackness coming soon?He... Will he be able to return to his own world soon?

In Chu Jinran's heart, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness.He swallowed a willow ice leaf, and the clear and cold liquid flowed into his mouth, which made his heart feel certain.What's the use of thinking more about things that haven't come yet?

He got up to leave, not noticing the instant frown on the ice bed.

In this way, no matter how devoted Chu Jinran is to practicing sword practice every time, he will take some free time every day to take care of Su Che.

On the first day, Sucher looked the same, nothing else changed.

The next day, it was still the same.

On the third day, his nails grew a lot, and they looked like they had a metallic luster, sharp enough to cut stones and break gold.

On the fourth day, his teeth were sharpened like sharp swords, and his canines protruded from his lips. They were not only long but also wide, just like the teeth of a snow tiger on Lingxue Peak, which could kill people in an instant .

On the fifth day, some black and mysterious patterns loomed on his face, just like those on the body of a wild beast.

On the sixth day, two pointed animal ears emerged from his hair, and the original human ears had disappeared.

On the seventh day... Chu Jinran gently touched his ear, and Su Che muttered unbearably, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, looking very painful and eager.

On the eighth day, Su Che's face was flushed, he kept panting rapidly, and said something impatiently, his expression suddenly became very aggressive and menacing, and suddenly became... Chu Jinran couldn't describe it.

Chu Jinran curiously leaned towards his ear, wanting to hear what Su Che was saying in his dream.

A hoarse and deep voice rang in his ears, only a man who was roasted by the fire of desire would make such a voice: "Chu, Jin, Ran... Jin, Ran..."

Chu Jinran sat up in confusion, not understanding why he called his name so eagerly.

Sure enough, when he grows up and his mind becomes more mature, he will want to kill him even more impatiently, right?
