Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 157 It’s Not Easy to Be a Ghost Messenger in the Underworld (18)

Realizing that he was in an abnormal trance, Mo Xuan turned his face away slightly.

"I... understand."

"Well, I'll take care of myself for a few days, and I'll go when I'm almost recovered." Shi Qi said lightly.

"Are you... injured again?" Mo Xuan was slightly stunned.

"Ah."

"what happened?"

Shi Qi paused: "You don't need to know. Mo Xuan, you can do whatever you want, I will take care of the rest, and finally remember... I only want your life."

Mo Xuan froze for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Yeah, I know."

Shi Qi looked at the unnatural boy in front of him and said calmly: "Sometimes, you can be a little childish. Or... around me, I allow you to be a little childish."

"This way...it will be much easier for you."

Mo Xuan's eyes trembled slightly, and he came back to his senses and looked at Shi Qi steadily.

He chuckled: "You are much more insightful." Insightful...but also indifferent.

Shi Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly: "If you experience more, you will be like this too."

Having solved the problems that had been bothering him for days, Mo Xuan's smile now felt more relaxed, coming from the heart, and he was completely touched.

"By the way, can you cook something for me tonight?" Shi Qi calmed down, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Mo Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly: "I promised you, what do you want to eat?"

Shi Qi blinked slightly and said calmly: "Mantou... the kind that is especially soft."

Mo Xuan:......

After Mo Xuan left, Shi Qi sat at the table, feeling a little melancholy.

She actually...has contributed a lot.

If she wants to investigate the rice and grain issue, she has to stay away from Mo Xuan.

As time goes by, the backlash of the soul-chasing talisman on her will only become more and more severe.

This is not the worst. What if Mo Xuan falls in love with Ling Yu after she leaves?

This is... the scariest thing.

Fortunately, Mo Xuan seems to be only interested in government affairs now...

......

After a simple meal, Shi Qi returned to the side hall comfortably, wanting to rest.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the child sitting under the bed, his short chubby legs crossed and his brows frowned.

The little fox in my arms was sleeping peacefully, humming from time to time, which was very cute.

Although the posture and expression are serious, it's funny when a little kid does this.

"Why don't you go to bed? Are you feeling better? Look...what is this?" Shi Qi floated in front of Ming Nan and stretched out his finger.

When Mingnan saw the person coming, his eyes trembled slightly, he closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Shi Qi paused and took a step back: "Go to the bed, I'll check you out, if you're fine you can go home."

The person in front of him had no reaction and ignored Shi Qi's questions.

Shi Qi looked at the child's obviously unhappy expression and was slightly surprised.

What's going on... It's as if I can see his hatred for myself.

Hatred?

What are you hating about?!

I am just a little uglier this time...

Besides, I saved you.

Shi Qi's mouth twitched, and he told himself not to bother with the fat kid: "You...can't speak?"

The little fire ball woke up vaguely, and when he saw Shi Qi, he jumped up suddenly and rubbed Shi Qi's face affectionately.

Mingnan stood up with the help of the ground, but his legs were numb from sitting in meditation for a long time.

Shi Qi looked at the little man in front of him who was swaying unsteadily, and suppressed his laughter: "Just assume that you can't speak, are your legs numb?"

Mingnan's face turned dark, he lowered his head, and tried to stand still, but he was still swaying slightly, like a cute version of a tumbler.

"Go to bed and rest if you're tired." Shi Qi said calmly.

The little one clenched his pink fists, seemed to be angry, swung his sleeves, and staggered around the house.

He walked all over the house but didn't go to the bed.

Shi Qi looked at the short legs and strange behavior of the little man, and understood a little: "You want to get on the bed? But you can't touch it?"

Mingnan: “…”

"Guigui is so smart. Everything here is so high that Nannan can't even reach it. Hehehe, he's been sitting on the ground for a long time." Little Fireball said softly, wagging his tail happily.

Shi Qi was stunned, and floated in front of Ming Nan: "Turn around."

Although Mingnan was unwilling, he still turned around obediently.

The next second, Shi Qi pinched the fat on the little guy's neck and lifted it gently.

The little one was thrown onto the bed, his cheeks were puffed up by the pressure.

There were flames in Mingnan's eyes, and he wished he could tear the person in front of him to pieces.

He turned over fiercely, looking at Shi Qi fiercely with murderous eyes.

"Why are you glaring at me? It won't change the fact that you are fat." Shi Qi ignored the little guy's gaze and moved his hands slightly.

"If it weren't for Huo Huo, I wouldn't save you." Shi Qi said lightly, with purple light emanating from his hands.

After a moment, purple light surrounded Mingnan, warm and bright.

Shi Qi's face turned pale and his expression became difficult to look at.

Mingnan just stared at Shi Qi with complicated eyes filled with hatred, but also...deeply hidden pity.

She was perhaps more seriously injured today than he was.

Xuan Qi, why do you always pretend to be kind, why... are you so calm and indifferent?

Why should you give up only him...to be the savior of everyone?

If you do this, I will appear... despicable and terrible!

This prince hates you...After all these years, I still hate you the most...

Mingnan's eyes flashed, revealing a bone-chilling coldness and cruelty, and he rushed towards somewhere swiftly.

"Hiss~" Shi Qi was exerting force and felt a pain in his wrist, so he let out a light cry.

The culprit had already stood up, pushed Shi Qi away, and ran out stumbling.

Shi Qi came back to his senses and was slightly stunned when he saw the purple mark on his wrist that was bleeding from being bitten.

Why did he bite suddenly...did she hurt him?

You little brat...you're quite harsh with your words.

Shi Qi looked at the disappearing man and fox and shook his head slightly.

Never mind, he is just an insignificant person.

She had already spent too much energy saving him.

Shi Qi felt very dizzy, and the fatigue accumulated throughout the day suddenly came over him, making him feel as if he had been drained.

Without giving it any more thought, I fell sleepily onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the door, a small red figure was vaguely visible among the flowers, with a small fire fox next to it.

The little figure was trembling violently, with his head lowered so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

The little fire fox beside him hummed once or twice from time to time, as if to comfort him.

......

The underworld.

Meng Nianchan was staring at the river in a daze when a cold voice sounded behind her.

"Meng Po, do you still remember Hades?"

Meng Nianchan was slightly stunned, stood up and turned around, looking at the person who came and said indifferently: "Why is Yan Luo here? Nianchan naturally remembers it."

She dared not forget...and could not forget.

"His soul...can't be found." Yan Luo sighed softly, a little worried.

Meng Nianchan was stunned: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"After the soul-severing calamity yesterday, his original spirit...dissipated. If we can't find it...I'm afraid something big will happen." Yan Luo frowned, his expression serious.

Meng Nianchan frowned: "Why did it happen so suddenly?"

"He tried to defy fate and capture the soul, but failed. And that soul was purple, most likely Shi Qi's." Yan Luo shook his head slightly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Meng Nianchan paused and looked up: "He defied fate and captured souls... He doesn't want to live anymore?"

Soul-stealing is a strange and advanced underworld technique that goes against the rules of the underworld.

In the entire underworld...there are only three people who can do it.

Once the soul is taken away successfully, the person whose soul is extracted will have his or her soul shattered and will be unable to reincarnate.

In addition, the soul puppet of the person who captures the soul will be transformed into a complete... mindless body that can be manipulated at will.

And the soul-catcher...will lose all his spiritual power and his soul will be shattered.

In short, it is a dark magic that will result in the destruction of both parties.

She didn't expect that the person who framed Shi Qi after they had been investigating for so long...would actually be him.

She also didn't expect that after all these years...he still had no regrets.

"In the entire underworld...except Mingnan, I really can't think of...who else would attack Shi Qi. He is crazy...and so childish." Yan Luo concentrated and shook his head slightly.

Meng Nianchan did not answer. A cold breeze blew from the lake, ruffling the woman's hair.

After a long while, she opened her pink lips and said, "Yan Luo, Meng Po has something to ask of you."

"You said."

"I'm going to the human world, and this time...I won't let anything happen to her again."

The woman's eyes were firm and her expression was resolute.

There are fluorescent dots in the sky, and it also brings a bit of chill.
