I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

With a new target, Painted Skin Ghost immediately beamed with joy, and quickly took a selfie in the mirror, carefully sizing up Qianniang's appearance.

After looking at it, Painted Skin Ghost always felt dissatisfied. It changed into a more luxurious bead flower hairpin, and gently inserted it obliquely on Ruyun's hair bun.

After looking left and right for a while, Painted Skin Ghost just felt that he was a little more beautiful, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Pei Xiang who was writing and drawing with his head down, his expression darkened.

The little dancer has become more elegant and graceful these days.Willow brows and apricot eyes, a plump nose and a cherry mouth, skin like snow, and a graceful demeanor make Painted Skin Ghost envious and jealous.

It stretched out its tongue and licked its lips, then rolled its eyeballs, the jealousy and malice in its eyes surged up, and then gradually dissipated, leaving only greed and joy in the end.

From Painted Skin Ghost's point of view, the appearance of the little dancing girl will belong to it sooner or later.Therefore, the more beautiful and attractive she is now, the more benefits it will gain when it takes over in the future. Thinking of this, it temporarily extinguishes the idea of ​​torturing Pei Xiang.

Moreover, Painted Skin Ghost still has some calculations of his own in mind.It has scruples about men with precious fates, so it needs to try the two handsome young men in the yard next door. After the test results, this little dancer may have a more important use.

"Sister Pei, I'm going to meet the two sons next door for a while, you stay in the room and don't go out casually, understand?"

Hearing Painted Skin Ghost's order, Pei Xiang did not immediately nod in agreement this time as before.She looked at Painted Skin Ghost hesitating to speak, with struggle and hesitation in her brows.

This performance made Painted Skin Ghost laugh again and again.

"Why, sister Pei, are you worried about the lives of those two sons? Didn't you tell me before that some people are naturally cold-hearted and hard-tempered, and they are not easy to get close to. But once he starts to put people in his heart, is he sincere?

If the two young masters next door were the kind of people you mentioned, then they would not have fallen in love with me so quickly. You worried too early.

If...they are like those idiots and perverts before, they can't move when they see me, and they are fascinated when they smile, hehe, I don't even bother to eat such a despicable heart. "

The little dancer was relieved when she heard that the Painted Skin Ghost would not kill people immediately, she nodded docilely, expressing that she would not walk out of the room casually.

"Don't worry, there is still my wanted portrait outside. Without your protection, I can't move a single step, and I definitely won't run around."

——Although the painting doesn't look like it at all, I really don't have an ID card.

"Of course I believe in sister Pei."

Painted Skin Ghost raised his lips and smiled slightly, his eyes streamed, but his tone suddenly turned cold:

"However, the candidate I selected this time lives next door to us. I'm afraid that my sister will go out and report to them in a moment of soft-heartedness, so I might as well explain it to my sister Pei.

Although I'm not by my sister's side, I can see and hear where my sister goes and what she says.

Sister Pei, before you run out to report the news or ask for help, I will definitely come back and kill you myself.Sister Pei, remember, you must be good. "

Because of the threat of Painted Skin Ghost, Pei Xiang became more quiet and submissive, and even lost a lot of his usual cleverness, which made Painted Skin Ghost sneer.

After warning Pei Xiang, it looked at the sky outside and planned to meet the noble young man next door.

The coercion of those two people gave it a very uncomfortable feeling. According to Painted Skin Ghost's past experience, this kind of person must have either rich or noble background, so that he can suppress it like this only by fate.

Before meeting Pei Xiang, Painted Skin Ghost had always avoided this kind of heavenly favored person; after meeting Pei Xiang, it gradually developed ambition and unwillingness.

Recently, Painted Skin Ghost often asked himself, we are all creatures in the world, why should it retreat?Why does it want to hang out with inferior humans?It has the most beautiful face, so it naturally wants to capture the best men and taste the most delicious hearts.

——If you can win the true love of such a proud son of heaven, it is something worth showing off.

——I don’t know what it feels like to hug these high-ranking men who are favored by the gods after they fall in love?How charming they should be when they speak tenderly.

——Sister Pei's words are so interesting. Those arrogant and indifferent men are much more interesting than the romantic scholars I teased before.

——Among thousands of people, I alone is gentle to me, weak water three thousand, just take a scoop to drink...

——Only by eating such a precious and rare human heart can I feel truly full and satisfied, right?

The Painted Ghost, who had been brainwashed by Pei Xiang's ancient version of the story of "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me: The Weak/Foolish/Smart/Cold Little Painted Ghost", left excitedly.

The storyteller sits behind the table and concentrates on painting, waiting patiently for the painted skin ghost to return.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Painted Skin Ghost who left excitedly came back disappointed.

"Sister Pei, why does he despise and hate me?"

Pei Xiang showed a confused expression: "Contempt and disgust? Have you done anything taboo? Did that person scold you?"

Painted Skin Ghost shook his head, and revealed a few truths to Pei Xiang:

"No, I didn't talk to him very much, I just 'encountered' a few times. The young master didn't scold me, but his emotions... If he rejects and hates me, I can feel it."

——I will feel that the other party is more difficult to approach. If I move rashly, I will be hurt, and even my painted skin may fall off automatically.

Pei Xiang tilted his head and thought for a while, trying to analyze Hua Skin Ghost:

"I haven't met the neighbor next door, but I know you can't choose the wrong person. In that case, those two must be used to the way women invite favors.

Like, um, when we were in that mansion before, didn't the maids who wanted to climb high branches often 'run into' masters and young masters?In fact, everyone knows what's going on, but it's just your wish. "

Painted Skin Ghost frowned, muttering to himself:

"Then he shouldn't be wary of me. Someone admires him...how wonderful, shouldn't he be proud of it? If he is not proud, he can ignore me at most.

But how could his imposing coercion be so heavy, now, it is difficult for me to even get close to him. "

Pei Xiang's eyes lighted up slightly, but quickly covered them up, and continued to play the role of the little dancer who was thinking hard.She induced one question after another, and finally, without Pei Xiang saying it himself, Painted Skin Ghost figured it out "by itself":

"The older one must have seen my thoughts, he is tired of me, maybe the timing is wrong.

They came to Yangzhou from other places, they came from noble backgrounds but only leased the upper yard of the inn, so it can be seen that they have something to do to hide from people's eyes.An unknown person like me rushing forward will definitely arouse the vigilance and displeasure of the other party. "

Pei Xiang immediately showed an expression of enlightenment, and looked at Painted Skin Ghost with admiration.

Painted Skin Ghost was encouraged by such bright eyes, and his thoughts became more active.

"You were right before. I have to pay attention to methods. It is only a bad idea to seduce people with beauty. I have to attack people's hearts. What's more..."

Painted Skin Ghost stroked Qianniang's face, then glanced at Pei Xiang thoughtfully:

"This one isn't the most beautiful either, so of course it won't attract everyone. It's okay, since they are wary of 'Qianniang', they should change to a better one. Anyway, it will be mine sooner or later."

In the end, Painted Skin's voice is close to nothing.Pei Xiang didn't hear what it said behind it, but from the eyes and subtle expressions of Painted Skin Ghost, she probably guessed the plan of Painted Skin Ghost.

——Since we are all counting on each other's lives, let's see who has the upper hand in the end.

Sure enough, in the next few days, besides going out and staring at the neighbor next door, the Painted Skin Ghost urged Pei Xiang to teach it to paint.

This time, it didn't practice any basics and skills anymore, it just urged Pei Xiang to draw a self-portrait, and then copied it for it.Painted Skin Ghost's plan to replace Pei Xiang is now clearly revealed.

The little dancer seemed to have guessed Painted Skin Ghost's plan, but she couldn't resist, so she could only endure silently.She doesn't want to waste the remaining time, and just concentrates on painting every day.

She painted a lot of things, not limited to portraits of people, the furnishings in the room, the scenery she had seen before, the hardships of learning to dance, the concentration in banquet performances, and the gentle and quiet Qianniang in the past, all in Peixiang appeared under the pen.

She seemed to want to draw out her short life before she could die without regret.

Painted Skin Ghost felt that he had already understood Pei Xiang's plan and knew that she was accepting her fate, so she did not interfere with her painting from morning to night.It can even be said that Painted Skin Ghost is happy to see the results, because the more works Pei Xiang leaves behind, the more things he can learn in the future.

Because Pei Xiang painted too many and complicated things, and most of them were landscapes and utensils, Painted Skin Ghost gradually stopped checking and admiring every one of her paintings.From its point of view, every picture is its own anyway, and after Pei Xiang's death, it will have plenty of time to appreciate it slowly.

And now, it has more important things to keep busy.

One night more than ten days later, Painted Skin Ghost suddenly broke into Pei Xiang's room and picked her up from the bed.

"Change into the clothes you're going out with, and go out with me to save people."

"Save people?" The little dancer looked at Painted Skin Ghost with a hint of sleepiness in her eyes.

"Yes, you said before that you have to be kind and beneficial to a man, so that he can let go of his guard and accept me. I've waited for this opportunity now, and the eldest son next door is being hunted down now. After a while, you risk your life to save me. He, he will definitely appreciate you."

While getting dressed, Pei Xiang asked Painted Skin Ghost in a panic:

"Chasing, chasing and killing? I'm going to save people? But, isn't it you who want to be loved by that young master? How can you let me save people? And, how can I save people?"

"Stop talking so much nonsense!"

Painted Skin Ghost snorted coldly, and stepped forward to comb Pei Xiang's hair: "You are a human being, you can approach him at will, you go to rescue him immediately. Don't worry, with me here, you will not be fatally injured."

Pei Xiang replied in a daze, as if he still didn't understand Painted Skin Ghost's plan.

Painted Skin Ghost rolled his eyes: "You remember, after you saved someone, you should take good care of that young master, take care of him with all your clothes on, and let him know how good you are to him, understand?

However, you can't tell me that I exist, you can only tell him that you passed by by chance and saved him.

Sister Pei, if you reveal my existence and ask others for help, heh, I will not only kill you immediately, but also kill everyone in this inn.Including the waiter who brings you meals every day, the shopkeeper who helps you buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and the raccoon cat who likes to play at the gate of our courtyard.

Sister Pei, you have to remember, I asked you to save people, take care of him to win his gratitude and goodwill, you can't do any extra things, you know? "

At this time, Pei Xiang had figured out Painted Skin Ghost's plan, and she asked with a pale face:

"You are planning to let me get in touch with that young master first, and after he let down his guard, you, you will pretend to be me and continue to approach him, right?"

Painted Skin Ghost smiled: "I knew you were clever, look, you immediately understood my plan. Sister Pei, remember, no matter what you say or write, I will know it.

Don't play tricks with me, don't reveal my existence, use the skills you have learned in the inner house these years, and seduce that man to me. "

These words made the little dancer scared, angry and resentful, she hurriedly told Painted Skin Ghost that she was going to die anyway, and she would not help it to harm others.

But Painted Skin Ghost threatened Pei Xiang with the lives of the people in the inn, and after seeing the little dancer's expression shaken, he spoke soft words again.

It promised Pei Xiang that if things go well this time, it will bury her properly, find her a tomb with excellent feng shui, and let her have a good pregnancy in the next life.

Of course, if Pei Xiang screwed up, he would strip the little dancer's body and throw it on the busy street.

In the end, this threat completely defeated the little dancer's persistence. She was full of sorrow and sorrow, but she had to accept the instigation of the painted skin ghost.She looked at the ghost behind her beggingly, but she didn't get any mercy.

Thus, Pei Xiang, who had finished dressing up again, was carried by the Painted Skin Ghost, and after a few leaps, he appeared in a small alley near the inn.

A fierce fight was taking place in the alley at this time.A tall and tall man in brocade clothes was guarded by guards, and five assassins in black were pressing on him step by step. It was absolutely dangerous.

When Painted Skin Ghost brought Pei Xiang into the shadow of the wall, the tall man in brocade also joined the battle.

With a sword in his hand, he fought and retreated with the guards who protected him.Seeing that he was about to exit the alley, two black-clothed assassins who had been lurking for a long time appeared behind him. This time, seven enemies attacked back and forth.

Pei Xiang seemed to have been petrified, but he was actually concentrating on assessing the value of human force in this world.

In fact, to be honest, Pei Xiang really doesn't see any special ways, she just wants to make sure, in this world with painted skin ghosts, can human beings be able to fly over walls, overturn mountains, or fly with swords?

After watching for a while, she felt that if the two groups of people fighting below hadn't been pecking at each other, then the fighting methods in this world are relatively reliable and solid.There are no special effects, light and shadow, and internal air release. Everyone fights with fists and kicks and real swords and guns.

While Pei Xiang was watching silently, the young man in brocade clothes who was caught in the picture of the painted skin ghost was already injured, and all the guards around him fell down, and there were only two left on the side of the black-clothed assassin.

Painted Skin Ghost moved quickly, put Pei Xiang not far from the entrance of the alley, and pushed her:

"Go quickly, you have to pretend to be passing by in a while, stumble upon this fight, and then jump over to block the knife and save that young master."

Pei Xiang really didn't want to complain about Painted Skin Ghost's plan to save heroes.

It wants to reassure the other party's doubts and gain favor, and it shouldn't let a young and beautiful girl pass by in the middle of the night.Moreover, a girl from a normal family has no time to hide when she encounters such a thing, so why would she rush out for a stranger, oh, and even rush to block the knife.

In the future, wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence to find out that the savior happened to live next door when someone checked and asked?It's no wonder that after such a tossing, it can dispel doubts.

Pei Xiang was thinking about the loopholes in this plan, and the Painted Skin Ghost also showed a certain IQ, and it whispered to Pei Xiang:

"My current appearance has aroused their disgust, so I won't appear in the near future.

After you saved someone, if they asked you why you ran out in the middle of the night, you would say that my sister who was dependent on each other was missing, and you ran out to find me in a hurry.

Then I heard the sound of fighting, and my concern was chaotic. I thought I was in danger, so I rushed over in a hurry, but I didn't expect to save someone by mistake. "

Pei Xiang asked anxiously: "Will I get hurt? Didn't you ask me to take care of that young master? If I get hurt, how can I take care of him?"

"It's better to be injured. You have been a dancer in the mansion for so long. Do you need me to teach you some things? Don't play dumb with me, go!"

With the skill of one person talking strangely, the young man in brocade clothing knocked down another assassin in black at the entrance of the alley not far away, and there was only one enemy left in front of him.

Pei Xiang was staggered by the Painted Skin Ghost, and he couldn't help exclaiming, which immediately attracted the attention of those still fighting in the alley.

However, neither of those two people was distracted by the sudden exclamation, and they were still fighting with all their attention.Pei Xiang ran over anxiously, performing exactly according to Painted Skin Ghost's script.

Just when Pei Xiang was about to grit his teeth and rush forward, the young man in brocade clothes showed a flaw.

Probably because of his injuries, his movements were a bit slow, and the man in black just happened to seize the opportunity, and stabbed straight in the chest with a sword that was as fast as lightning.

Facing the danger of killing her, Pei Xiang subconsciously froze for a moment, her body's sense of self-protection kept her where she was.

Just when the situation was critical, a small animal with snow-white fur swooped out from the corner, immediately stood in front of Young Master Jin Yi, and withstood the fatal sword for him.

At the same time, Young Master Jinyi also took the opportunity to kill the last black-clothed assassin.

This scene happened between lightning and flint.Pei Xiang watched helplessly as a snow-white stuffed animal saved someone, and then the last assassin in black was killed.Immediately afterwards, Young Master So Jinyi shook his body, held on for a few breaths, and then fell down. He seemed to be unconscious due to exhaustion.

The little dancer who planned to save people but failed to snatch the fluffy balls blinked her eyes. She tentatively took a step forward, and found that the human beings scattered all over the ground were quiet, so she cautiously increased her speed.

Pei Xiang rushed to the vicinity of the white "puppy" first, and squatted aside to check its wounds.She found that the snow-white fur on its stomach was stained red with blood, and it looked very miserable. However, it didn't die just like that, and it still had slightly undulating breathing.

Pei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. For some reason, ever since this white fluffy dumpling appeared, she found it super cute and charming, and attracted her attention more than all the other creatures present.

After observing the white animal that broke in suddenly, Pei Xiang stretched his neck and glanced at the man in brocade.It's a pity that the night was dark, and Pei Xiang couldn't see the specific injury of the other party.

She didn't dare to approach the unconscious wounded rashly. He still held a sharp sword in his hand. What if he still had vigilance in the coma?As soon as a stranger approaches, the seriously injured and unconscious person can stab the last sword or something, which often happens in the story.

Of course, it is one thing to be cautious and safe, and Pei Xiang has no intention of giving up saving people.

——The most important thing for me to do now is to find a doctor and someone to help.

——If I stay here alone, I will definitely not be able to save people, neither can I lift the wounded who survived, nor can I treat those wounds.

——Also, if there are assassins coming, will they silence me after discovering my existence?

What makes Pei Xiang feel even more strange is, why hasn't the Painted Skin Ghost appeared after so long?The "prey" it chose is already dying, is it going to stand by and watch?

While puzzled by the absence of Painted Skin Ghost, Pei Xiang quickly analyzed the current situation.

She lived in an inn as soon as she came to Yangzhou City, and she didn't know the situation of the nearby medical center, so the step of finding a doctor can be ignored for now.

If someone is looking for help, the most reliable person you can call around here is probably another young man who lives with this brocade-clothed man.

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the other party, Pei Xiang got up and ran towards the inn based on the conscience of a neighbor.

Fortunately, another young son was at the inn, and seemed to be waiting for his brother to return.After hearing Pei Xiang's description, his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly called for help.

After hearing a few words, Pei Xiang knew that there was a doctor among the people they were traveling with, and he could bring them back for treatment, so he felt a little more at ease.

She followed behind these people, trotting all the way back to the place of the fight.

"It's pretty much where it was when I left."

After Pei Xiang glanced at Mr. Jinyi with concern, she put most of her attention on that fluffy body. For some reason, she cared about this little animal tonight.

"It's this white puppy. It jumped out suddenly and stood in front of your brother, saving his life." Pei Xiang found that these people didn't seem to want to save the white puppy, so he hurried forward to explain.

Her moist eyes were clear, as if she was asking, aren't you the kind of ungrateful people?

As a result, another fox was added to the rescued wounded.

Yes, it was a fox. According to the confirmation of several guards who followed, the white plush was not a puppy but a white fox.

Everyone didn't know where the white fox came from, but Pei Xiang, who reported the news, said that at a critical moment, the white fox saved the master.If this statement is completely true, then they really have to seriously treat this white fox.

As for the future arrangements, it will be decided after the master wakes up.
