People are singing in the tide, but there is no crown

Danjin hid in the bushes again and waited.

She is like a patient hunter, and her every move reveals her rich experience.

Not long after, a noise was heard in the camp.

Ling An looked at it in amazement, it really was there!

A boy pushed open the lid and poked his head out of a wooden box outside the camp.

The boy looked quite young, and he carefully looked around the remaining scenes in the camp.

There was a look of sadness in his eyes.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he quickly lay down on the body of the man who led Ling An and Dan Jin here.

Let out a cry of grief.

He was mumbling something vaguely like "Dad" and "revenge".

It seems that they are father and son.

Do you want to eradicate the problem completely? Ling An looked at Dan Jin.

According to the routine in the novel, the person who appears at this time is the real protagonist.

To bear the blood feud and avenge one's father or something like that.

Dan Jin stood up from the bushes and slowly approached the boy under his shocked gaze.

"No, don't kill me!" The boy sat on the ground and backed away, his eyes full of pleading.

Dan Jin stood in front of him, as cold as a piece of ice.

Under the boy's puzzled gaze, Dan Jin took off the red blade and the unpolished jade, and took out a piece of dragon beard pastry from his arms, and placed them in front of him one after another.

"Choose one. If you choose the wrong one, you will die." Dan Jin smiled.

The boy lowered his head dumbly. There were three options in front of him:

Crimson Blade, Unpolished Jade and Dragon Beard Pastry.

There was silence for several minutes.

The boy was sweating profusely and he stretched out his trembling fingers and placed them on the dragon beard pastry.

He raised his head and tried to force a smile: "I want to live."

Dan Jin leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Why did you choose Dragon Beard Pastry?"

Hearing Dan Jin's tone soften, the boy wiped his sweat and explained:

"If I choose this knife, it means I have a strong murderous intention and you will definitely not let me go."

Dan Jin nodded: "That's right."

The boy continued, "If I choose this jade, it means that I am too greedy and will harm others sooner or later. You will definitely not let me go."

Ling An couldn't help but admire when he heard this.

This boy is very wise.

Every word he said seemed to reach Ling An's heart.

No wonder he chose Dragon's Beard Pastry. Among the three options, Dragon's Beard Pastry was probably the only correct one.

Just as Ling An was waiting for the boy to explain why he chose Dragon Beard Pastry, Dan Jin spoke.

She smiled and said, "So you chose the dragon beard crisps, because you are too scheming."

The boy was stunned: "No——"

Dan Jin retracted the scarlet blade, and the blood-red blade light drew a circle on the boy's neck.

thump.

It was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Ling An was stunned.

So no matter what you choose, you will die.

Ling An suddenly felt a little confused about Dan Jin.

When she was innocent, she was as bright as a ray of sunshine;

When killing, she was as decisive as the scarlet blade at her waist.

After the boy's death, the murderous intent that lingered around Dan Jin gradually dissipated.

In an instant, she returned to being the harmless and cute girl.

The sun was setting at its brightest moment. She turned her head and the dim sunset reflected into her deep blue eyes, dyeing them into an indelible fragrance.

She smiled, a light and lovely smile.

At this moment, Ling An suddenly felt——

I may never forget this scene.

The golden sunset shines on Jinzhou City, and a red-haired girl returns from afar with a gray cat in her arms.

Ling An lay in Dan Jin's arms, thinking silently.

Just now, he recalled Dan Jin's life experience.

So he just quietly let the other person talk to himself.

Perhaps this lonely girl who has been burdened with a deep blood feud since childhood also needs a little warmth and comfort.

"Dan Jin, you're back? Is it fun outside?" the guard at the city gate asked with a smile.

Dan Jin nodded heavily: "It's fun!"

"A group of residents who were lost before came back just now. A young man said that he was rescued by you. You did a good job." The guard gave her a thumbs up.

Dan Jin touched his head embarrassedly and chuckled, looking quite restrained.

Ling An could feel that she was very happy.

After a simple greeting, the guards let them into the city. Dan Jin walked on the road humming a song.

Suddenly, she stopped her brisk steps and asked in confusion, "Huh?"

Ling An curiously poked his head out from her arms.

Ahead of the road, a trendy girl with black hair and golden eyes stood upright with a pretentious smile on her face.

Ling An's cat body trembled.

Then he slowly retracted his head.

Oh wow, send it!

How could I forget about Chao Mei?

"Sister? Who are you?" Dan Jin asked puzzledly.

Chaomei walked up to her step by step and gently pointed at Ling An in her arms.

Dan Jin slapped his head and handed Ling An over with both hands: "So it's your kitten. Here, it's for you. Please take good care of it next time and don't let it run around!"

Ling An's tightly closed eyes opened slightly.

What caught my eye was Chao Mei's gentle smile and gritted teeth: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it!"

"Okay! That's good. I'm Dan Jin. See you next time, Cat."

Dan Jin finally touched Ling An’s head and walked away happily.

Ling An had already lost all hope at this point.

You just leave, but what does it mean that you still want to touch it at the end?

Do you know that with every touch, I am one step closer to the prison of life and death?

Still, quite comfortable.

Ling An squinted his eyes comfortably and dived into Chao Mei's arms.

Start playing dead.

He is just a harmless kitten.

What a weird thing, he doesn't understand.

"Why don't you speak?" Chaomei said in a "gentle" tone, and her slender hands stroked his body dryly.

Ling An: “Meow.”

Chao Mei said coldly: "Don't pretend, I need an explanation."

Ling An: “Meow——”

Chao Mei: "If you meow again, I'll kick you out!"

Cough, cough, cough! Ling An coughed twice awkwardly.

"My Lord, I am innocent!"

"What's the injustice?"

"I was forced. She took me away without any explanation, and I couldn't resist in the city."

Ling An was honest and he did not lie.

"What about outside the city?"

"Outside the city... there might be a sudden transformation outside the city. It would be so bad to scare the little girl!" Ling An gradually became certain, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Okay, I'll let you off this time." Chaomei suddenly relaxed her tone.

"Huh? So simple?" Ling An was stunned.

The depressing aura from Chao Mei just now was even more terrifying than Dan Jin when he was killing.

He truly experienced what a Shura field was.

Just like that?

If that’s the case, he’ll dare to do it again next time.

"But punishment is inevitable." Chao Mei narrowed her eyes, revealing a hint of danger in her eyes.

"What punishment?" Ling An asked in a low voice.

Could it be that he wanted to kill a few remaining elephants and bring back some of their remains to replenish Chao Mei?

He's good at this.

In Ling An's mind, Chao Mei slowly spoke, her tone revealing an unquestionable determination and a hint of expectation:

"You will be punished by changing back to your original form tonight and playing with me."
