Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

Seeing the sunshine outside, Xitao thought of Yu Qiqi's persuasion, couldn't help but want to go out for a walk, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked out.

As expected, the flowers in the yard were all in bloom, full of fragrance. He couldn't help but feel good after seeing them. He lingered in the yard for a while. After basking in the sun, he walked to the water pavilion, wanting to see those beautiful red lotus.

The environment of the waterside pavilion is still quiet, the water is gurgling, and the sound of flowing water can be heard from a distance. He walked over in a good mood, and the red lotus bloomed wantonly in the pool, and the water drops fell on the emerald green lotus leaves. , looks clear and beautiful.

Xitao stood still by the pool, bent down to look at the delicate lotus flowers, with a slight smile in her eyes.

He was watching with relish, and wanted to lean over to smell the lotus fragrance, when suddenly he felt his legs were entangled in something, he couldn't help being startled, and then a flower bloomed in front of his eyes, and his body fell into the lotus pond involuntarily.

When he came back to his senses, he was already hugged by Jiu Ling. Jiu Ling's fish tail was wrapped around his body, and the tip of the tail patted his back soothingly.

He smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to touch Jiuling's slippery fish tail, and raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't know which little mermaid refused to show me the fish tail at the beginning, why does it keep wrapping me with the fish tail now?" ?”

Jiuling hooked her lips, and handed the fishtail to Xitao's hand, "Now Master can look at it however he wants."

At that time, he thought his master was Luo Tianchen, so of course he refused to show it to Luo Tianchen, but now his master can look at him more, and he is willing to do whatever he asks.

Jiuling's fish tail is sea blue, with extremely beautiful scales, sparkling in the sun, and feels extremely smooth to the touch, more comfortable than fine silk.

Every summer, Xitao especially likes to hug Jiu Ling's fish tail to enjoy the cool, it feels cold to the touch, and Jiu Ling's fish tail swinging back and forth can just fan him, and they have come here many summers over the years.

Xi Tao took a look at Jiuling's naked upper body, and her eyes fell on his beautiful mermaid line. Jiuling's black hair was draped behind her, revealing her smooth forehead, her skin was as smooth as honey under the sun, and her black eyes stared fiercely at him. His eyes were full of thick fog that couldn't be melted away, and such Jiu Ling gave him a strong sense of oppression, full of aggression.

"Summer is coming soon." He slightly looked away.

Unknowingly, he had been in the house for so long, and the weather was getting hotter, so Jiu Ling wouldn't be cold even if he soaked in the water like this.

"Yeah." Jiuling walked around Xitao, picked a lotus and put it in Xitao's hand.

When he fell into the water, Xi Tao's face was covered with a lot of water. He raised his hand to wipe his face, and brushed the wet hair behind his ears, revealing his delicate and small face.

There were lotus scents all around, and Xi Tao hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. He leaned on Jiu Ling's fish tail, holding a big red lotus in his hand, and smiled with downcast eyes.

The pool water wetted the white clothes on Xitao's body, outlining beautiful lines. He has not been out of the house for a long time, and he is whiter and tenderer than ever. burst of spray.

Xi Tao looked at the red lotus in her hand for a while, saw that Jiu Ling was in a good mood now, thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Ling'er, do you like Qi Qi?"

Jiu Ling glanced at him, her voice became colder a few degrees, "Which one do you like?"

"..." Xi Tao looked at her apprentice's sinking face, pursed her lips nervously, and said hesitantly, "The kind of liking between a man and a woman."

There was a trace of anger in Jiu Ling's eyes, and he looked at him deeply with cold and dark eyes, and his thin lips were pressed tightly together, without saying a word for a long time.

Xi Tao's scalp was numb from his gaze, and just as she was about to take back her words, Jiu Ling turned her head away, and said lightly as if angry: "I don't like it."

"Ah?...Oh." Hearing that Jiu Ling really didn't like Yu Qiqi, Xi Tao blinked her eyes in surprise, her expression a little bit astonished.

He couldn't say he was unhappy, but he was a little surprised. Could it be that what Yu Qiqi said was right, that Jiu Ling really didn't like her, and he had misunderstood her these days?

"Then what do you like?"

Jiuling turned her head to look at him for a while, then swam to him in a short time, and moved slightly closer, almost touching his breath.

Xi Tao choked for breath, looking at Jiu Ling who was so close, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

Jiu Ling stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "I only like Shizun."

The surroundings became quiet, the branches on the shore swayed slightly, Xitao blinked slightly, and the water droplets on the lotus leaves rolled down into the pond, causing little ripples and blooming on the water surface.

Xitao held her breath and looked at Jiu Ling for a moment, raised her hand to touch her fast-beating chest, and said doubtfully, "My heart is beating so fast, Linger, am I going to get sick?"

The anger in Jiu Ling's eyes dissipated, she sighed helplessly, raised her hand to rub Xi Tao, "Is it better now?"

Xi Tao blinked her eyes, and her cheeks turned red, "It seems to be dancing faster."

Jiu Ling's hand stopped slightly, he looked down at Xi Tao's clean and pure eyes, endured for a moment, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Take your time, at least wait until Master detoxifies your body.

Jiu Ling took a step back, took a jug of wine from somewhere, and handed it to Xi Tao.

Xitao's eyes lit up, and she impatiently took the jug over, uncorked the bottle, sniffed it up to her nose, and exclaimed pleasantly, "It's plum wine!"

Jiu Ling nodded and looked at him with a smile, "Master, I haven't had a drink recently, and I don't have much appetite. I asked Qi Qi yesterday, and Qi Qi said that he can drink some wine appropriately, but not too much."

Xi Tao happily shook the wine bottle, raised her head and took a sip of the wine. The plum wine was fragrant and sweet, with a bit of sour taste, and the mouthfeel was refreshing. After a refreshment, the apprentice is really considerate, even he knows when he wants to drink.

He used to use Luo Tianchen's body to get drunk when he touched alcohol, but now he uses his own body again, and he can finally drink to his heart's content.

Xitao's snow-white clothes floated on the water. When she raised her head to drink, her exposed arms were smooth and fair, her neck was slender, and her watery eyes were full of smiles. She looked like a bright, white and clean moon, like a fairy .

Jiu Ling leaned against the pool and looked at him deeply for a long time.

The sun is clear, the lotus fragrance is around, and the years are quiet. Jiu Ling's eyes fell on Xi Taoman's blushing cheeks, and he couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "The moon hangs high, unattainable, but I always wishful thinking Hide the moon privately."

Struggling pain flashed in his eyes, he grabbed the jug next to him and took a sip of the wine.

The master is like the moon in the sky to him. He looked up to it for a long time, and with selfishness, he wanted to take off the moon and hide it in his heart.

Xitao was drinking with gusto while holding the jug, but she couldn't hear what he said, so she asked in a vague voice, "Ling'er, do you want the moon?"

"Yeah." Jiu Ling looked at him with burning eyes, with emotions in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I want it."

The desire in his heart keeps growing wildly, he wants to break free from the cage, like a vine that grows in water, and wants to imprison his master firmly, but he knows that he can't do that, he can only press his crazy Struggling, cut off the vines one by one.

"Whatever you want, Master will try his best to give you."

Looking at his smoky cheeks, Jiu Ling bent her lips and said, "Where's the moon? Will you give me the moon too?"

Where is this an apprentice, it is very appropriate∽Wu Song

Xi Tao is used to being unreasonable as an apprentice, so she hiccupped and said, "If you want the moon, it's not impossible..."

Xitao thought vaguely, if the little ancestor really liked the moon, after he returned to the heavenly court, he could secretly take him for a walk on the moon.

Jiuling's eyes brightened slightly, and he swam over to hug Xitao's waist, and rubbed his cheek coquettishly, "Master, you are really willing to take off the moon for me."

Xitao shook her head with a smile, "Don't take it off, it's too big, but if you want, we can visit it often, and you can stay there for a few days if you want."

Jiu Ling thought he was already drunk, and hearing his soft murmur, he couldn't help but smile, and the fish's tail swayed happily twice.

Xi Tao stretched out her hand to touch Jiuling's smooth tail, stroking it fondly, Jiuling's tail was extraordinarily smooth in the water.

Xi Tao had no other intentions, but Jiu Ling's body gradually became hot from being touched. Ever since he discovered his thoughts, he couldn't be indifferent to the intimacy as before, but he didn't stop Xi Tao's movements, but just looked at Xi Tao's eyes Heavier and heavier.

"Master, Ling'er only has you, Ling'er doesn't want the moon, as long as you stay by my side all the time."

Xi Tao continued to touch Jiu Ling's tail without raising her head, and said, "Don't worry, I will always be with Ling Er as a teacher."

"How long?" Jiuling asked persistently.

"Accompany you to..." Xi Tao was slightly stunned. He will go back after completing the task, but as long as the apprentice continues to be good, he is willing to accompany the apprentice more. He is actually reluctant to leave here now, and wants to stay here forever stay.

"What happens after I die? Where does Master go?"

Xitao frowned, he never thought that Jiuling would die one day, but he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about it for a while, but Jiuling is a mortal with a limited lifespan, even if he is a mermaid, his lifespan is only a few days. For a hundred years, the time he can accompany Jiu Ling is limited.

His movements gradually slowed down, his expression lost, of course he knew the answer, if Jiu Ling died one day, then his mission would be over, of course he wanted to go back to heaven, but of course he couldn't let his apprentice know.

He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "When you pass away, even if the master is not dead, it should be soon."

Luo Tianchen is a mortal, and he is older than Jiuling. In fact, Luo Tianchen should die before Jiuling, but Xi Tao feels that he should not be willing to leave Jiuling first.

"What if the master is not dead?" Jiu Ling looked straight at him, and he asked the master, not Luo Tianchen.

Xi Tao's brows tightened, Jiu Ling seemed to be particularly persistent today, but he didn't want to mention leaving and what happened after Jiu Ling's death at all, which made him feel stuffy, sore and painful.

He raised his head and took a sip of his wine, Jiu Ling's question made him feel uncomfortable.

Jiu Ling lowered her eyes and murmured: "Where will Master go after I die? Who will I meet? A hundred years in the world is just a snap of the fingers for Master, so forget about it soon."

His whole life, maybe just a brief moment in the memory of the master, will soon be lost in the ethereal crowd, how can he be willing?

Jiuling looked down at Xitao's reflection in the water, the master looked so slender and fragile, as if he could easily keep him by his side.

Jiu Ling's voice was too low, Xi Tao didn't hear what he said clearly, she raised her head and drank another sip of wine, feeling a little smoky with the breeze blowing by.

"Master, at least in this life, you will always be with Ling'er, okay?" Jiu Ling raised his head, strangled the darkness in his heart, and pleaded.

In his next life, he will definitely look for his master again, but in this life, he hopes that at least he will not be separated from his master.

Live in the world for hundreds of years?Xi Tao couldn't help hesitating a bit, he originally wanted to go back to Heaven after completing the task and complete the next task, and come back to visit Jiuling when he has time.

But is he really willing to leave?He already had the answer in his heart, but if he didn't leave here, the time for him to complete the task would slow down a lot, and reason told him that he couldn't agree.

Xi Tao pursed her lips and said nothing, telling herself repeatedly not to spoil her apprentice, not to be soft-hearted...

"Master..." Jiuling lowered his voice and elongated the ending, looking at him for a moment.

Jiu Ling's eyes looked a little round when he stared slightly, and his stern face looked much more childish and cute than usual.

Apprentice is so cute...

Xi Tao looked away resignedly, "...Okay."

It's only a few hundred years, time flies by, and he should have time to stay here for a while, at worst, speed up when doing the next task.

Jiuling couldn't help laughing, feeling happy, and said softly: "Master, what more wine do you want to drink, summer is here, the flowers are blooming, and the fruits are ripe, I will brew some new wine for you and bury it in the tree Next, I swear to forgive Heyang Tushaoyuan!

Xi Tao smiled proudly, is there any more perfect apprentice in this world than the apprentice he raised?of course not.

Is there anyone who respects the master more than his apprentice?Of course not.

His family Ling'er is really good in everything except for a little lack of kindness.

Xi Tao is still dreaming that one day he can train his apprentice to be a three-good apprentice, but he doesn't know that the apprentice stares at his wine-stained lips and can't move his eyes.

Xi Tao was happy, and raised her head to take another sip of the wine. The clear water dripped down the spout onto her delicate collarbone.

Jiuling's eyes followed the dripping of the wine, stared at it for a moment, raised his hand and wiped Xi Tao's collarbone lightly, "Is Master a child? The wine has all spilled on him."

His fingers lingered on Xi Tao's delicate skin, reluctant to leave.

Xi Tao's cheeks turned red when she heard his words, and after drinking, she spoke slowly, "Ling'er, don't make fun of me..."

Looks like a good bully.

Jiuling's eyes changed color, and she couldn't help but press hard on Xitao's collarbone, until his fair skin left traces of him, and it turned pink.

Xi Tao didn't notice Jiu Ling's movements, and she reluctantly put down the jug after drinking half of the wine. He had been soaking in the water for a long time, and his whole body was a little weak. Fortunately, Jiu Ling kept supporting him with the fish tail, otherwise He's about to slip into the water.

Looking at his flushed cheeks, Jiu Ling asked with a smile, "Is Master drunk?"

Xi Tao shook his head, but halfway through the shaking, he suddenly realized that he was Luo Tianchen now, and Luo Tianchen should have been drunk long ago after drinking so much, he blinked slightly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Xitao's eyelashes were long and slender, and her pitch-black eyes were like beautiful obsidian. Looking at his watery and confused eyes, Jiuling couldn't help but smiled softly, hugged Xitao's waist, hugged her into her arms and said, "Master!" Really drunk."

Well, let's just pretend he's drunk.

Xi Tao lowered her eyes, leaned on Jiu Ling's shoulder, half closed her eyes, and looked weak and weak, waiting for Jiu Ling to move him into the room like before.

Jiu Ling stroked his hair gently, his movements were gentle, but the hands around his waist were hot and strong.

Xi Tao inexplicably felt that Jiu Ling was getting hotter and hotter, and the atmosphere was a bit weird, so she couldn't help but move uneasily in his arms.

Jiuling let Xitao break free from her arms, looked down at Xitao, her eyes became hotter and hotter, her head lowered involuntarily, and kissed Xitao's soft and tender lips.

Xi Tao felt something slightly cool suddenly sticking to her lips, and she couldn't help being startled, and she woke up.

He opened his eyes and looked at Jiu Ling who was so close in disbelief, his breath was suffocated, the surroundings became quiet, and his eyes gradually widened in disbelief.

Jiu Ling closed her eyes and kissed very deeply, not noticing his trembling eyelashes, she hugged him tighter and tighter, wishing she could rub her into her body.

At night, Xitao and Jiuling lay side by side on the bed as usual. During this period, because Xitao didn't know when she would get sick, they lived together again and slept together as before.

Xitao closed her eyes, her body was tense all the time, after a while, she turned around and opened her eyes in the night.

He was not sleepy.

He thought of that kiss during the day, and couldn't sleep.

He wanted to comfort himself, telling himself that the kiss was just Jiu Ling's way of expressing his love for Master, but Jiu Ling was so excited at that time that he couldn't make him treat it as a simple kiss, whether it was Jiu Ling holding him with his arms He couldn't lie to himself about the strength of his waist, or the excitement of wanting to swallow him up when Jiu Ling kissed him.

At that time, he almost couldn't breathe, but fortunately Jiu Ling let him go in time.

His lips still feel hot now, with a scorching temperature. The scene at that time seemed to be engraved in his mind, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

When Jiu Ling kissed him, he seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning on the top of his head, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he didn't know what to do, he could only pretend to be drunk, let Jiu Ling kiss him, and then pretended to fall asleep .

He looked at the moonlight shining into the room, his brows tightened, and he couldn't figure out what went wrong, why Jiu Ling would do this.

Did Jiuling feel curious for a while?Because talking about feelings aroused curiosity, so I used him as an experiment while he was drunk?

Thinking of this, Xi Tao couldn't help feeling bored, unable to tell what it was like, feeling at a loss and not knowing what to do.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiu Ling suddenly turned over, hugged him into his arms, and stretched out his arms to wrap around his waist.

Xi Tao froze all of a sudden, and her body shook uncontrollably.

Jiu Ling's voice was a little hoarse, "Master still not asleep?"

"...Yeah." Seeing that she couldn't pretend, Xi Tao replied in a muffled voice, "I slept too much during the day."

During the day, he didn't know how to face Jiu Ling, so he pretended to be drunk and hid in the house.

Jiuling exerted a slight force on his arm, trying to make him turn around, and said softly, "If Master is not sleepy, I will talk to Master for a while."

Hearing what he said, Xi Tao suddenly remembered the "night talk between husband and wife" in the storybook, and couldn't help feeling terrified. She turned around, pushed Jiu Ling's hand away, moved to the side and said, "Ling'er, I'm hot. .”

But Jiu Ling didn't let go, he approached and sniffed the faint scent of Xi Tao's body, and whispered displeasedly: "Master, don't push me away."

"I……"

"Master didn't pay much attention to me tonight, is it because you are in a bad mood?"

Xi Tao was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Jiu Ling to be so perceptive to notice his indifference.

Xitao was worried that Jiuling would realize that he knew about the kiss, so she didn't dare to push Jiuling away, so she managed to relax, and reached out and patted Jiuling's back lightly as before.

"I... I'm still drunk, so I don't really want to talk."

Xitao was upset, so he made up an excuse. He didn't want Jiuling to know that he had discovered the kiss. He hadn't figured out how to face Jiuling, nor why Jiuling kissed him.

Jiu Ling's brows were slightly relaxed. He had been restless for the past two days, and he always felt that there was an inexplicable force in his body that wanted to explode, which made it difficult for him to control himself.

He hugged the master's waist and felt the master pat him on the back lightly, and then he felt that the yelling violence in his heart was gradually suppressed.

He pursed his lips and whispered, "Master, don't ignore me."

He spoke in the tone of a wayward child.

Xi Tao blinked her eyes lightly, and smiled silently in the night, "Master knows."

Xi Tao felt a lot relieved, Jiu Ling's departure from Gu Huai ご 罗 might just be a moment of confusion today, he shouldn't think too much about it.

Jiuling opened his eyes, his voice was a little low in the night, "Master, if you dare not want me, I can't guarantee what I will do."

Xi Tao froze, shaking her body.

Feeling the change in him, Jiuling smiled slightly, looked up into Xitao's eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Master, you have to be good."

Bear boy, do you know who is the master and who is the apprentice?

Xitao wanted to reprimand Jiu Ling, but through the fluctuating spiritual power in his body, he could feel that Jiu Ling's mood was very unstable. He was afraid that his apprentice would really turn black, so he quickly stroked his hair .

Jiuling has an extremely insecure sense of security, which may be related to his background and childhood experiences, so Xitao can't help being soft-hearted towards him.

Xi Tao turned sideways, hugged the tall apprentice into her arms with her small arms and legs, and patted the back of his head lightly like she did when she was a child, "Sleep quickly."

The corners of Jiuling's mouth turned up, surrounded by the faint fragrance of Master's body, suddenly felt that the dark fog in his heart had dissipated a lot, contentedly hugged Master a little tighter, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xi Tao listened to Jiu Ling's even breathing but didn't feel sleepy. He blinked to see Ye Temu in the corner and suddenly realized that being a master seemed really difficult.

He stretched out his hand and pushed, trying to push Jiu Ling aside, but after he moved, Jiu Ling showed signs of waking up, and his arms hugged him even tighter. He could only calm down and dare not move.

Jiu Ling's scorching breath blew up and floated in his ears, reminding him unconsciously of the feeling of his lips and teeth being together, the tips of his ears gradually turned red, upset, and even more unable to fall asleep.

Xitao didn't sleep all night. When Jiuling woke up, Xitao kept his eyes closed and pretended to be sleeping. He heard Jiuling's rustling sound, and then felt a warm touch on his forehead. It feels familiar and makes your heart beat faster when you touch it.

Jiuling kissed his forehead.

Xitao's heart sank suddenly, like falling into a glacier, and her heart felt cold for a moment.

This time he couldn't even lie to himself.

After Jiu Ling opened the door and left, the room became quiet again. Xi Tao opened her eyes, turned over on the bed irritably, and sat up.

What should I do?Can smoking Jiuling make him wake up and respect his teacher from now on?What if I accidentally blackened Jiu Ling?Wouldn't that be a waste of all previous efforts.

Xitao rubbed her forehead, and after thinking for a long time, there was no answer. It is not easy to be a master, and it is even more difficult to be a master for a blackened apprentice.

Xitao pushed open the door of the room and walked in. Jiuling stayed here the longest on weekdays. He wanted to see if there were any signs to follow here. Maybe he could find the crux of Jiuling's problem, and maybe he could make Jiuling relieve it. Thoughts that shouldn't be there.

The room was very tidy and spotless, and the volumes were neatly placed on the shelves. Xi Tao recalled Jiu Ling sitting at the table and reading, and couldn't help but feel weak.

He went to the table and sat down. There were several sheets of paper spread out on the table. Xi Tao picked one up and looked at it. It turned out that scriptures were copied on it, in Jiu Ling's handwriting.

Xitao turned over one by one, looking at the scriptures that had been copied over and over again, she couldn't help feeling a suffocating sourness in her heart.

Jiuling didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so how could he copy these scriptures?What was his mood when he copied these scriptures? Could it be that in a corner he couldn't see, Jiu Ling had also tried to suppress this feeling that shouldn't exist.

Xi Tao stared at these scriptures for a long time, feeling a little sore in his heart, and he only picked up at this moment. Maybe Jiu Ling was more at a loss than he was in the face of this feeling.

It was he who, as a master, did not guide Jiu Ling well.

He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, feeling a faint pain in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help wondering that Luo Tianchen and Jiu Ling were enemies, and there was a sworn hatred between them, even if he could influence Jiu Ling with Luo Tianchen's body , but how could Jiuling have extra affection for Luo Tianchen?

He raised his hand and touched Luo Tianchen's face, thinking that Jiuling was happy with Luo Tianchen, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and suddenly he hated the face he was holding.

He stood up irritably, and bumped into a scroll on the table, which rolled to the ground. Xi Tao looked down, and the scroll looked familiar. He remembered that it should be the one that Jiuling had drawn for him at that time.

He remembered that when Jiuling drew this picture for him, he was still holding Luo Tianchen's face, and he couldn't help but feel even more depressed. He was a little thankful that Jiuling didn't paint his facial features that day, otherwise he would have been even more depressed. depressed.

He bent down to pick up the painting scroll, and the painting scroll spread out, and the paintings inside were displayed in front of him unexpectedly.

He paused slightly when he bent over, and looked at the painting on the scroll in surprise. After a while, he moved, picked up the scroll and unfolded it little by little.

Jiu Ling had added facial features to this painting at some point. The person in the painting had ink hair and vermilion lips, a jade-boned figure, dressed in white clothes, and wiped the mum bracelet with affectionate eyebrows.

Xi Tao raised her hand to stroke the painting lightly, and looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting in disbelief. The person Jiu Ling painted turned out to be him, not Luo Tianchen.

Doubt flashed in Xitao's heart, he only met Jiuling once with his deity, didn't Jiuling want to draw Luo Tianchen?How could his facial features be painted on it?

He watched in silence for a while, Jiu Ling drew this painting very meticulously, lifelike, every little detail was missed, the person in the painting was undoubtedly him, Jiu Ling seemed to have drawn his outline thousands of times Only by doing the same thing can the painting be so real.

Xitao's eyelashes trembled, as if realizing something, her eyes moved down a little bit, and her fingers moved away, revealing the place covered by her hands.

'My true love, Haoyue Songxue, my master, Jinxi Taoxun. '

Xi Tao looked at the line of small characters in the lower right corner, and was stunned. She suddenly remembered what Jiu Ling said yesterday. Although he didn't hear clearly at the time, he heard a few words.

Jiuling said that he wanted the moon, but also said that the moon was high and unattainable.

...It turns out that he already knew it.

He knew that he was not Luo Tianchen, and he never liked Luo Tianchen.

He had even vaguely guessed where he came from.

Xitao was stunned for a long time, then walked out of the room in a daze, her mind in a mess.

He walked forward without direction, aimlessly, and didn't stop until he bumped into Li Jinrui.

Li Jinrui also looked a bit out of place, he didn't know what he was thinking, after bumping into Xitao, he seemed to come back to his senses, took a step back in a flustered expression, and said, "Lord Luomen."

Xi Tao smelled the scent of Li Jinrui, couldn't help but sneezed, recovered slightly, raised her hand to touch her nose and said, "Why is it so fragrant?"

Li Jinrui was stunned for a moment, raised his sleeves and sniffed, wondering, "... Is it fragrant? Maybe I just passed by the flowers and smelled some flowers."

Xi Tao felt that the scent was familiar, but couldn't remember where she had smelled it, and frowned slightly. He felt better because he was far away from Li Jinrui.

He asked absently, "Are you here to find Qiqi?"

"...Yes." Mentioning Yu Qiqi, Li Jinrui's eyes were not as enthusiastic as usual, but rather dodged.

Xi Tao had something on her mind, so she didn't notice his expression, she nodded indiscriminately, said goodbye and left.

The two left in two directions, both a little listless, with their heads down, and their steps were slow.

Xitao sneezed a few more times along the way, always feeling like he'd been like this sometime, but his confused mind couldn't figure out why, now his mind was full of Jiu Ling and that painting.

Xi Tao returned to the room, lay down on the bed in a daze, sighed one after another, feeling like her head was going to grow bigger.

Whenever he thought of Jiuling, he felt his lips were warm, and couldn't help blushing and worrying, as if he had been hit by a Gu.

He lay paralyzed on the bed for a while, and suddenly his heart ached. He frowned and groaned in pain. His body curled up, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

This feeling is too familiar to him, it should be poisonous again, he gritted his teeth, he couldn't help wondering, he just drank shark blood yesterday, logically speaking, it shouldn't have happened so quickly, could it be that the toxicity in his body has become more serious? It's serious, so the poison occurs more frequently?

Soon he didn't have time to think about it anymore, this time the poison was so fierce that he couldn't help rolling on the bed in pain.

The sunlight slanted into the house, and the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the house bursts with fragrance.

Jiuling opened the door and walked in. Seeing Xitao lying on the bed with a pale complexion, covered in cold sweat, he had already passed out from the pain. ran over.

He saw Master drinking happily yesterday, passed by the wine shop today, and saw Qingxin wine for sale in Xichen Pavilion, and remembered that Master liked to drink it last time. Zun has been frowning recently, and he hasn't been happy for a long time. He wanted to make Master happy, but he didn't expect to delay for a while, and when he came back, he saw Xitao fainted.

Jiuling helped Xitao to sit up, opened his palm without hesitation, dripped blood into Xitao's mouth, tightened his brows, and hugged Xitao distressedly.

It was already one night after Xitao woke up again, the sky was bright and the room was warm.

He struggled to wake up, and found himself held in Jiuling's arms. His clothes were dry and should have been changed.

Jiuling just sat with him all night like this.

He licked the blood stains left at the corner of his mouth and knew that Jiu Ling had fed him the blood.

Jiuling's blood carried a faint fragrance of lotus, which was so unique that he could tell it right away.

He originally thought that all merman's blood had the fragrance of lotus, but after he was poisoned, he became sensitive to merman's blood. After careful sniffing, he realized that only Jiuling's blood carried this elegant lotus fragrance. Remembering that Mr. Xuan Xinghe once said that Jiu Ling had a red lotus on his head, he couldn't help but wonder what connection Jiu Ling might have with the red lotus.

Xi Tao moved slightly in Jiuling's arms. Seeing that he was awake, Jiuling quickly helped him up and gave him a sip of water.

Jiu Ling frowned, looking at his still pale face, and asked worriedly: "Master, why did you suddenly faint from pain?"

Xi Tao recalled what happened before she fainted from the pain, and explained: "I suddenly fell ill."

Jiu Ling couldn't help wondering, "It stands to reason that the illness should take another day, why is it suddenly earlier?"

Xi Tao also had some, he thought about the things before he passed out bit by bit, and analyzed weakly: "Either the toxicity in my body has intensified, or something triggered the toxicity in my body, which caused me to suddenly develop poison. "

He could feel that the poison was severe this time. Although he had already drank the shark blood, he still hadn't fully recovered, and his body was still very weak.

Jiu Ling frowned and thought: "Master, when he stayed behind closed doors before, the poison was very regular. Did he encounter something when he went out that stimulated the toxicity in Master's body?"

Xi Tao nodded slightly, half-closed his eyes weakly, and carefully recalled everything he saw when he went out. Apart from going to Jiuling's room, he only met Li Jinrui.

Thinking of Li Jinrui, he couldn't help thinking of that strong fragrance. That fragrance seemed familiar, and it was a bit suspicious. He couldn't help thinking deeply, and there seemed to be something in his memory that was about to come out.

He murmured: "I ran into Li Jinrui on the way back to the house. He had a familiar scent on him. I couldn't help but sneezed a few times... Sneezing..."

Something flashed in Xitao's mind, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "The day I left Nangong Mansion, I met a maid at the door, and that maid also had this scent on her body! I sneezed several times, So some memories."

"Nangong Mansion..." Jiu Ling couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "It must be the smell! It's the poison they gave you!"

"No, it's not just the scent." Xitao's thoughts turned rapidly, and she analyzed: "If only the scent is poisonous, then other people who smell the scent should also be poisoned. It's impossible for me to be poisoned alone. There must be other things... ..."

His eyes scanned the room aimlessly, and when he saw the Qingxin wine that Jiuling threw on the table in a hurry yesterday, his eyes froze.

"It's pure heart wine..." Xitao was shocked, grabbed Jiuling's clothes and said, "It's pure heart wine! Most people in Xishui City have drank pure heart wine. If they only drink pure heart wine, they should be fine, but As long as the Qingxin wine smells this fragrance, it will trigger the toxicity in the body, and then poison it. They use this method to plant the seeds of poison in everyone's body. When they want to poison someone, they rely on this method. The scent poisons those they wish to murder."

Jiu Lingmao suddenly opened his eyes, his face became solemn, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were full of hatred for Nangong Zhentian.

The thoughts in Xitao's mind turned quickly, and she pondered: "Such a big conspiracy, Nangong Zhentian and Yang Ganfeng probably planned it for a long time. They want to use this method to completely control the human race and the shark race!"

Once the human race is poisoned, the blood of the merman is needed to control the toxicity in the body, then the two races will inevitably have conflicts. As long as Nangong Zhentian and Yang Ganfeng control the merman, they can control the human race and order everyone to do things for them. The entire Xishui City.

Jiu Ling's face was gloomy, Nangong Zhentian and Yang Ganfeng were vicious, and they wanted to use poison to control the human race, and then use the human race to control the mermaids, so as to control all races and mermaids.

Xi Tao didn't know what, her fingers were trembling, and she suddenly grabbed Jiuling, "Qiqi! Li Jinrui is here to find Qiqi! Since he has already
