The forbidden love between a ghost and a villain

Finally, under Li Xinran's fierce sword move, the Red Flame Spider let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Xinran and his four senior brothers killed this high-level monster in just a few moments.

The four brothers immediately surrounded the body of the Red Flame Spider and began to divide the spoils, arguing with each other until their faces turned red.

Li Xinran shook his head helplessly, walked to Lin Xiaoxi and checked her injuries.

Lin Xiaoshu was bandaging Lin Xiaoxi's wound with medicine. Seeing Li Xinran, he quickly stood up and saluted:

"Thank you, Senior Sister Xinran, for your help."

"It's okay, as long as you are okay." Li Xinran smiled gently.

At this time, Li Chengze gently placed Shen Meng under a tree not far away.

No one else could see Shen Meng's weak appearance. Only he could see that her face was pale and her breath was weak, as if she would disappear at any time.

"Why...why do this?" Li Chengze murmured in a low voice, his heart full of regret and self-blame.

He knew that Shen Meng became like this in order to save him, but he could only watch helplessly.

Shen Meng shook her head slightly and wanted to speak, but found that she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth.

Her soul could only lean against the tree trunk weakly, holding the soul bead in her hand.

Looking at Li Chengze's anxious eyes, a bitter feeling rose in his heart.

"I... told you... to protect... your..."

Only then did Li Chengze realize that Shen Meng's previous words were not just talk.

He covered his injured shoulder.

"Sister Shen, I will listen to you from now on."

But Shen Meng was thinking, "It seems I have to hurry up and train my soul body. If I continue like this, my soul will be shattered sooner or later."

Li Xinran saw Li Chengze looking at the tree, so he walked over.

She took the medicine and gauze from her waist and squatted down beside him.

"How could you be so careless, kid? Fortunately, the injury is not serious."

As he said this, he was about to undress Li Chengze and apply medicine to him.

Li Chengze subconsciously turned his head away, his eyes still looking towards the tree with worry.

Li Xinran thought he was afraid of pain, so she smiled and comforted him:

"Don't worry, once we get out of the trial ground, I will definitely ask my master to give you the best elixir, and I guarantee that there will be no scars."

Li Chengze turned around, his eyes slightly red, and said, "Imperial sister, I'm fine."

He paused, "I'm sorry, I lied to you just now. I thought..."

"fine,"

Li Xinran saw Li Chengze lowering his head and not saying anything, and thought that what he said just now was too harsh, so he slowed down his tone.

"A cultivator must do his best, but he must also do it within his capabilities. This does not mean you can be aggressive or competitive."

She paused, and seeing Li Chengze's eyes slightly red and pitiful expression, she finally softened her heart.

"In a situation like today, if Senior Brother Liu Ying hadn't noticed something was wrong and arrived in time, your life would be in danger."

She reached out and gently tapped Li Chengze's forehead.

"Got it? This won't happen again!"

Then Li Xinran gave Li Chengze a slap on the head.

Li Chengze nodded slightly, but his eyes were wandering, and he glanced in the direction of Shen Meng from time to time.

Li Xinran saw that he was absent-minded, and her doubts grew even stronger. She followed his gaze and looked at him.

But I only saw an ordinary tree, and I couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Seventeenth Brother, what are you looking at? Is there some treasure growing on that tree?"

Li Chengze retracted his gaze, forced a somewhat unnatural smile on his face, and his eyes flickered:

"No, nothing. I was just thinking that the demon core of this red flame spider should be able to sell for a lot of spirit stones."

As he spoke, he approached Shen Meng and pretended to be relaxed:

"Royal sister, please go and check out the monster materials. I want to take a rest."

"Okay, I'll call you later."

Li Xinran excitedly turned around to look at the inner elixir of the high-level monster. To be honest, she had never seen it before.

"Sister Shen, are you okay?" Li Chengze looked at Shen Meng, his eyes full of worry.

Shen Meng looked at the missing merit point on her jade token, and felt a dull pain in her heart, but she still managed a smile: "I'm fine."

"Sister Shen, I will become stronger in the future and won't let you worry about me anymore!" Li Chengze said in a firm tone.

"Come on," Shen Meng smiled and tapped Li Chengze's forehead.

"Kid, just stay away from those people. You don't need to become very strong, just be healthy."

Hearing this, Li Chengze felt warm in his heart, like a warm current.

It slowly flowed through his heart, making him feel warm and at ease.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Then Shen Meng felt that he had recovered a little bit of his soul power.

She turned into a wisp of white smoke and entered Li Chengze's sachet, continuing to repair her soul.

The person Li Chengze wanted to protect appeared, oh no, it was a ghost.

Li Chengze made an excuse, saying that he had consumed too much spiritual power and needed to recover, and asked Li Xinran and his senior brothers to leave first.

Li Xinran did not suspect anything. She knew that everyone had their own opportunities in cultivating immortals. After giving a few instructions, she took the others away.

Although Lin Xiaoxi was reluctant, she was forcibly taken away by her childhood sweetheart Lin Xiaoshu. Before leaving, she kept looking back at Li Chengze.

That look clearly said: "Take care of yourself."

After everyone left, Li Chengze confirmed that there was no one around, then he slowly sat down and looked down at the sachet.

"Sister Shen, they're all gone."

For the next few days, Li Chengze stayed there to meditate and practice.

A translucent shadow floated over and stayed beside Li Chengze with deep worry and heartache.

The shadow vaguely showed the outline of a woman in gorgeous clothes. Her features were somewhat similar to Li Chengze's, but her expression was filled with sadness.

"My son..." She whispered softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito, but full of endless love.

The woman's gaze fell on Li Chengze's shoulder, where his clothes were torn and a faint trace of blood was visible.

"Injured..." Lin Zhaoyi's soul trembled, wanting to touch but retracting it, her empty eyes filled with sadness and powerlessness.

Shen Meng, who was concentrating her soul in the sachet, vaguely felt that there were other souls surrounding Li Chengze, and she was very confused.

"How could there be someone, or rather, how could there be a soul here?"

Shen Meng was shocked and didn't care about the damage to his soul. He suddenly stretched out a hand from the sachet and grabbed the soul.

"Who are you?" Shen Meng asked sternly.

Li Chengze had entered a state of meditation at this moment and was unaware of the outside world.

The soul was caught by Shen Meng and struggled desperately, but could not break free.

"I...I am Ze'er's biological mother..."

Lin Zhaoyi's ghost was trembling with fear and wanted to transform and leave, but she found in despair that

Shen Meng's hands were always tightly holding onto herself, and she couldn't escape.

Shen Meng slowly stretched her body out of the sachet and looked at Lin Zhaoyi kneeling in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

She gently took Lin Zhaoyi's hand and said in a gentle voice:

"Please stand up and talk. There's no need to be so polite."
