The forbidden love between a ghost and a villain

The woods were filled with the quiet of the night, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence.

A faint halo surrounded Li Chengze, and the spiritual energy fluctuations were extremely active.

He was sitting cross-legged, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, with a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

"call--"

Li Chengze breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the power filling his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Is this what it feels like to be at the first level of Qi training? My body is filled with unexpected power!"

Shen Meng has finished reading Hei Shisan's book and has completed the first section of her practice.

Then she tried to sense the power of the ghosts in the trial ground, but she couldn't sense it at all.

I had no choice but to give up practicing temporarily, swinging my legs in boredom, my soul swaying from side to side.

Suddenly feeling the change in the spiritual energy around Li Chengze, she turned to look at him with a smile:

"Hey, you've made a breakthrough, not bad."

Li Chengze scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Thanks to Sister Shen, I was able to advance so quickly."

"Oh, Sister Shen," Li Chengze seemed to suddenly remember something.

"I...I dreamed about my mother, she..." His voice became low and choked with sobs.

Shen Meng understood and told Li Chengze the truth:

"I have already sent her to reincarnation. She has been with you for five years. If she stays in the human world any longer, her soul will be torn apart."

Li Chengze was stunned. "Five years... Mother..." he muttered to himself, his eyes slightly red.

"She's fine. She will definitely be reborn into a good family. Don't worry." Shen Meng comforted softly.

Li Chengze took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness in his heart. "Thank you, Sister Shen, thank you for everything you have done for me."

"It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart." Shen Meng waved his hand.

"You have now embarked on the path of cultivation, and there is still a long way to go.

You must work hard to cultivate and don't let your mother down."

"I will!"

Li Chengze nodded firmly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Shen Meng looked at Li Chengze and nodded secretly in her heart. This kid,

As expected of the destined villain, he has a good psychological endurance.

Little did he know that Li Chengze's gratitude towards Shen Meng had slowly transformed into an indescribable emotion.

"Isn't this trial ground too big? I haven't met Junior Brother Chengze in such a long time.

Junior brother, where are you...?"

The trial conference is coming to an end, but Wen Yu still hasn't met his junior fellow apprentice.

I wanted to pretend to be my senior brother in front of Li Chengze, but I didn't have the chance.

The bells of the trial meeting echoed among the clouds, melodious and solemn.

As the last bell rang, the teleportation array in the center of the trial ground shone brightly.

Figures stumbled out from it one after another.

Some of the disciples were dressed in rags and had scars on their bodies, having obviously gone through a tough battle in the trial grounds;

Some disciples were in high spirits and full of joy, obviously having gained a lot.

In the crowd, many disciples were dejected. They had nothing in their hands and had not obtained any demon beast inner core.

According to the rules of the trial meeting, the disciples who did not obtain the inner elixir of the monster beast would be punished to serve in the menial service hall.

Become a menial disciple for one year.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to many arrogant disciples.

Especially those disciples from the outer sect, they were already short of resources, and now the situation is even worse.

The situation of the inner sect and direct disciples was much better. Most of them successfully obtained the inner alchemy of the monsters and avoided punishment.

Some disciples with strong family backgrounds were taken away by their own masters or senior brothers and sisters early on.

Leaving behind those ordinary disciples, they went down the mountain in groups of three or four.

At the foot of the mountain behind, Liu Mei had been waiting for a long time.

She was wearing a light blue dress, with a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament, like a solitary orchid in a valley.

She looked around anxiously and whispered to herself:

"Why haven't you come out yet? The trial ground should be closed?"

She was worried about the safety of Wen Yu and Li Chengze. After all, the trial ground was extremely dangerous.

Even disciples in the Qi Refining Stage cannot avoid encountering danger.

"Senior sister!"

Wen Yu saw Liu Mei from a distance and shouted excitedly, with full of energy.

It instantly attracted a lot of people's attention, and many disciples who came down the mountain cast curious glances at him.

When Liu Mei heard Wen Yu's voice, her heart finally settled down.

A relieved smile appeared on his face and he walked quickly towards Wen Yu.

"Finally we got out. I thought you were going to be trapped in there."

Liu Mei walked up to Wen Yu, looked him up and down, and was relieved when she saw that he had no injuries on his body.

"Junior brother, are you okay?" she asked with concern.

"What can happen to me, Senior Sister? You underestimate me too much."

Wen Yu patted his chest, full of confidence.

"I am extremely talented and my training speed is improving by leaps and bounds. How could a mere trial ground possibly be able to stop me?"

"You are just a boaster."

Liu Mei shook her head helplessly, but the doting in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

She looked at Wen Yu and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, why are you alone? Where is your junior brother?"

"Should, maybe, perhaps, in the back..."

Wen Yu spoke hesitantly, his eyes wandering, not daring to look directly into Liu Mei's eyes.

As he spoke, he looked anxiously at the crowd of disciples who kept pouring out, his heart in turmoil, thinking to himself:

Could something have happened to Sixth Junior Brother?

Finally, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

The thin man was not conspicuous in the crowd, but Wen Yu recognized him at a glance.

"Sixth Junior Brother!"

Wen Yu shouted and waved his arms to signal Li Chengze that he was here.

Li Chengze looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wen Yu standing next to Liu Mei.

I also saw Liu Mei's face which was very similar to her mother Lin Zhaoyi.

His steps paused slightly, but soon returned to normal and walked straight towards Wen Yu.

Shen Meng had been following behind Li Chengze, so naturally she saw Wen Yu and Liu Mei.

"Why does this person look so familiar? Oh no, it's Liu Mei."

Shen Meng suddenly became nervous. She clearly remembered the warning from the Qingming Jade Plate.

Liu Mei looks exactly like Li Chengze's mother, Lin Zhaoyi. What if Li Chengze still has feelings for Liu Mei...

Thinking of this, Shen Meng couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down.

Because she found that Liu Mei was slowly walking towards Li Chengze, but the Qingming Jade Plate did not issue any warning.

"How is this going?"

Shen Meng was even more confused. "Could it be that the Qingming Jade Token has lost its effect?"

Little did they know that Li Chengze had already gotten over the death of his mother, Lin Zhaoyi.

Even if the girl in front of him looked more like Lin Zhaoyi, it would not stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.

The point is that the person he cares about now, oh no, the ghost he cares about, has become Shen Meng.
