Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

When I came to the human world, the sky was still covered with a faint layer of gray, as if it was still immersed in the tranquility of the night, and the sky had not yet completely brightened!

Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian looked at each other, their eyes full of reluctance and attachment. It seemed that the look could weave together a myriad of emotions, tightly entangling the two of them.

Yan Chixia, standing by, urged them anxiously, her voice filled with urgency, "Hurry up! The sun will be out soon, and then we'll be in trouble!"

Nie Xiaoqian slowly let go of Ning Caichen's hands. Those hands seemed to carry endless warmth and strength, but at this moment they had to separate.

She turned and bowed gracefully to Lei Yin and Yan Chixia, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Master Yan, Miss Lei, for helping me escape the clutches of Grandma and the Black Mountain Demon. I am deeply grateful for this great favor. Now, I can only hope that in my next life, I'll have the chance to repay you both for saving my life."

The sincere emotions were evident in his words.

Lei Yin raised his hand and waved, a faint smile on his face, as if what he did was just a common occurrence. He said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay. I saw injustice and helped! This is the duty of warriors like me. Don't worry about it."

"Miss Xiaoqian, I hope that after you are reincarnated, you can always stick to your original heart, be kind, and be a good person. Don't be confused by the outside world and forget your original intention." Yan Chixia said with a solemn expression. He felt deeply sorry for Nie Xiaoqian's experience and hoped that she could be redeemed in the next life.

Under the control of the tree demon, Nie Xiaoqian was like a manipulated puppet, committing one murder after another.

It is really sad and lamentable that those innocent lives were lost in her hands.

Even though she was coerced by evil spirits, she was ultimately stained with indelible karma and sins, which would accompany her like heavy shackles.

"Yes, Xiaoqian will remember this!" Nie Xiaoqian knelt and kowtowed again, her eyes gleaming with determination. She knew her past mistakes and understood the deeper meaning behind Yan Chixia's words. She secretly vowed to cleanse her sins in her next life and start a new life. "Thank you for your teachings, Senior. Xiaoqian is deeply grateful!"

After saying that, she slowly turned her head and looked at Ning Caichen affectionately, her eyes filled with tears. The tears slid down like pearls, filled with endless reluctance.

"Caichen, you must keep that painting with you. It is a testimony between us. No matter when or where, you must remember me."

"Xiao Qian, don't worry, I will! I will take good care of this painting. It will always be with me, just like you are always by my side." Ning Caichen's eyes were full of sadness. He held Nie Xiaoqian's hand tightly, fearing that she would disappear if he let go.

"Goodbye, Caichen!" Before she finished speaking, Nie Xiaoqian's figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared into the air. She walked towards the unknown afterlife, leaving Ning Caichen standing there alone.

Yan Chixia looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. His eyes were so hot that he couldn't help but turn sideways and quietly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

……

The three of them saw Nie Xiaoqian off and rested in the inn for a whole day before they regained some of their energy.

Lei Yin went to the pharmacy and bought some red dates and sliced ​​ginseng to replenish qi and blood. He put them in his small bag and took a few bites from time to time.

In the inn kitchen, there was the stewed old hen soup she requested.

So Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen went downstairs and saw Lei Yin sitting alone at a table, gnawing on a chicken leg in one hand.

People around would look over from time to time. After all, it was rare to see such a beautiful woman acting so boldly and unrestrainedly.

Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Lei Yin, oblivious to the surroundings, saw the two men and quickly swallowed the chicken in his mouth and called out to them, "Come here!"

After the two of them sat down, Lei Yin signaled to the waiter that the dishes could be served.

She went downstairs early and ordered the dishes, but Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen were nowhere to be seen. She was so hungry that she started eating old hen soup.

"Here they are!" The waiter came in hurriedly, carrying a tray filled with colorful, steaming delicacies.

There is bright red braised pork, the meat pieces are fat and lean, shiny and greasy, and exudes a rich meaty aroma.

There are golden sweet and sour pork ribs, each rib is covered with sweet and sour sauce, which makes people salivate just by looking at it.

There is also the white and tender steamed fish, the fish meat is as white as jade, paired with red chopped peppers and green chopped green onions, the color, aroma and taste are delicious...

Soon, the table, which was originally a little empty, was piled high with these delicacies, like a small mountain.

In addition, there is a pot of fine wine!

"Don't be shy, it's my treat!" Lei Yin said generously, a sincere smile on her face as she urged the two people beside her to pick up their chopsticks quickly, "Eat it while it's hot! Don't wait until it gets cold, or the taste will be off."

The three of us have been through life and death together, so there's no need to be polite.

Yan Chixia swallowed a mouthful of wine and asked Lei Yin curiously, "Miss Lei, is being a bounty hunter profitable?"

Lei Yin pointed at himself proudly and said, "That depends on what level of bounty hunter you are. Like me, I'm the top one. The money I make, hehe..."

"Don't show off your wealth!"

Ning Caichen ate with big mouthfuls, not even bothering to speak. He wanted to turn his grief and anger into appetite, eat as much as he could, and forget his troubles!

"Haha, Miss Lei," Yan Chixia shook her head and laughed, "Are you interested in learning some Taoism from me?"

"I see that every time you drive the sword, you have to use blood. Over time, it will cause great harm to your body!"

What's more, Yan Chixia was always worried that the sword spirit Ajiu had an unknown origin and did not seem to be a good person.

Lei Yin is so kind-hearted and chivalrous. He will encounter many monsters and ghosts in the future. If he had more cards up his sleeve, he could use Ajiu less.

"Okay, thank you, Hero Yan!" Lei Yin agreed without hesitation.

Are you kidding? If there is an upright Taoist priest with profound Taoist skills who offers to teach you, you would be a fool not to learn, right?

Moreover, Lei Yin felt that the probability of her encountering monsters and demons seemed to be much higher!

Perhaps it is the way the world is, in times of chaos, that evil spirits are bound to emerge!

But no matter what, it’s good to have more skills!

This also saves her from having to ask Ah Jiu to come out and fight her when she can’t win!

Lei Yin's sword, Ajiu, has not appeared since the time he blew up the tree monster.

However, Lei Yin sensed that Ajiu was sleeping. Not only was he fine, but he also gained a lot of benefits.

It can be imagined that when Jiu wakes up, she will not only have a loyal partner, but also have enhanced combat capabilities!

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became. Lei Yin poured a glass of wine and clinked glasses with Yan Chixia. "Master Yan, I want to learn from you. Do I need to call you Master?"

"No, no, let's just be friends!" Yan Chixia drained his glass and explained the origins of his abilities. "I was originally a police captain, but because I couldn't stand corrupt officials, I resigned and retired..."

"Later, I unexpectedly met a hermit master. Seeing that I had a good heart, he taught me many skills..."

"After I learned it, the master disappeared without a trace and could never be found again!"

After saying that, Yan Chixia drank another glass of wine.

"Master Yan, please eat something! Why are you just drinking?" Lei Yin noticed Yan Chixia was feeling down and quickly advised, "Meeting by chance is also fate. Fate brings us together and fate ends, so don't worry too much about each other. Just be well!"

"Well, well said!" Ning Caichen exclaimed, raising his glass and drinking with the two of them. "We were destined to meet!"
