【Ice Nine】Cage

The consciousness is still at the moment of sinking into the bottom of the water, the water is swaying, shimmering, and the small colorful candy wrappers are swaying in front of your eyes.

Shen Qingqiu seemed to have fallen into an endless dream. In the dream, there were all kinds of invisible figures, silently moving.He thought that maybe he really was going to die again, so he let himself get lost in the darkness, the memory of the two lives woven into a huge web to trap him in it.

However, there was still a person who didn't want him to leave. Even though there was a reason he couldn't figure out, maybe it was cruel, that person still persisted in pulling him back to the world from the hand of death again.

Shen Qingqiu coughed, woke up from the darkness, lifted his heavy eyelids slightly, and found himself lying in Luo Binghe's arms.

At this moment, the sun was just rising, but it shone on Luo Binghe's cold brows and eyes, as powerful as a Shura.

Luo Binghe... little beast...

Shen Qingqiu opened his mouth to speak, but unexpectedly, a gust of wind entered his mouth, making his throat itchy, and he immediately coughed until he was dizzy.

"Cough...cough..."

It's just that he had been poured into too much river water, his throat hurt badly, and he coughed very quietly, but he felt heart-piercing, his face was pale, and there was not even a trace of blush.

Luo Binghe silently patted him on the back, and Shen Qingqiu vaguely felt that he was hugging himself even tighter.

Shen Qingqiu coughed more and more, clutching his chest, clutching his heart, like an old man on the verge of dying, trying to grab a glimmer of hope in his dying years.

His limbs were still stiff, and he was wrapped in Luo Binghe's robe.It hurts everywhere on my body, so painful that I can only vent it with coughing.It's just that the more he coughed, the more uncomfortable he became, and his heart became more choked up.

As if the sky was falling apart, there was no way to stop the pain he was suffering, even Luo Binghe's hand patted on his back made him hurt even more.

Suddenly, a cold hand stroked Shen Qingqiu's cheek, rubbing it lightly.

It turned out that the little face was full of tears.

Luo Binghe frowned and asked softly: "Does it hurt?"

Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath and tried his best not to cough anymore. After a long time, he finally calmed down and his consciousness became somewhat clear.

He heard what Luo Binghe asked, but he didn't want to answer, so he grabbed the lapel of Luo Binghe's chest, buried his head and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

Luo Binghe ran quickly, but kept it steady and comfortable, trying to make Shen Qingqiu not feel the bumps.

He rubbed Shen Qingqiu's head, and said in a soft voice: "Be patient, I'll go back right away."

Shen Qingqiu remained silent, pursing his lips sullenly.

The surrounding scenery wandered, the dark sky replaced the slightly cold Chuyang, and the lifelessness of the human world replaced the vitality of the human world. They had already entered the demon world.

Shen Qingqiu's consciousness became blurred as his limbs gradually warmed up. All his thoughts and thoughts along the way were a mess, and all kinds of emotions were cast into a cage, forcing him into a trapped beast, unable to break free.

Before he couldn't resist the pain and tiredness and closed his eyelids, he suddenly felt a cold or warm touch on his forehead.

Luo Binghe kissed his pale forehead, and said in a low voice: "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

……

The tip of the nose suddenly became sore, hot tears flowed from the closed eyelids, rolled down from the corners of the eyes, and sank into Luo Binghe's clothes.

Shen Qingqiu thought, he had a lot of questions to ask, at worst he should scold that little bastard, or give him a big slap in the face.

But his thoughts were so chaotic that he didn't know where to start asking, where did you go?Or ask what happened to those who kidnapped him?Or, rather, if he had spent the night with that blue vixen, so he didn't remember him waiting there?

But whatever the question was, he didn't have the strength to ask it now, he was tired and needed a good night's sleep.Maybe when he woke up again, he could still proudly question that useless little bastard like before.

Shen Qingqiu felt that he had slept for a long, long time, so long that it seemed as if he had relived the days he had lived.Those that are no longer fresh in his memory, and that he doesn't want to touch, are all revolving in his mind, repeating in his dreams.

He stood on the field of memories, seeing them intertwined and intertwined, as if dazzling, but none of them was what he longed to revisit.

Shen Qingqiu has lived in jealousy and ugliness all his life, he is a villain, a hypocrite, and others are not ashamed of him.

But he never regretted it.

All the things he has done, whether it was the humiliation to Luo Binghe when he was young, or the sarcastic remarks he made to Yue Qingyuan for so many years, or other things.

No matter how dirty and unbearable he was, he would never regret it.

Because he is Shen Qingqiu.

Because those all mean that he is Shen Qingqiu, not the Shen Jiu who was trampled and bullied by others back then.

Suddenly the screen changed, and he saw the days after his rebirth again. Only then did he suddenly realize that everything about Shen Qingqiu after his rebirth, one by one, was about Luo Binghe.

About his enemy in his previous life, the person he hated the most.

Then the memory became chaotic again, in order to escape, those memories were broken into pieces, shimmering with tiny bits of light, pulling Shen Qingqiu out of his dream.

Shen Qingqiu slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was lying on the bed in the courtyard that he was all too familiar with, still under the dark light of the devil world, and there was no one in the empty room.

He sat up from the bed, and found that his body was light, and the pain was relieved a lot. The symptoms after being beaten and falling into the water were already [-]% or [-]% better.

But no matter how many doubts there were, nothing was more important than not being thirsty.

Shen Qingqiu was about to get a glass of water to drink, but when he got out of bed, he found that he still had that short, useless body, so he couldn't help feeling rather disgusted.

He took a sip of water, thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, he might as well lie on the bed to recharge his batteries, so he turned around and walked towards the bed.

When walking past the window, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice talking to Luo Binghe.

Shen Qingqiu was a little surprised, so he knelt down by the window and listened carefully.

Only Luo Binghe said: "Is he in good health?"

The owner of another voice said: "It's nothing serious, it should be [-]% or [-]% better now. Where's my apprentice? You can let him out now."

Luo Binghe sneered and said: "What a master-student loves deeply. But you should know that what I'm talking about isn't about those superficial injuries."

There was silence outside for a while, Shen Qingqiu stretched his head to look out the window, and couldn't help frowning.

It was him.What did that little beast call him for?

The person who was talking to Luo Binghe outside was actually the former Qiancao Peak master, his younger brother, Mu Qingfang.

Mu Qingfang stood in front of Luo Binghe, expressionless, and said bluntly: "I don't know."

Luo Binghe seemed to be a little irritable, he took a few steps in the same place, with a cold light in his eyes, he looked closely at Mu Qingfang, with a serious smile on his mouth, and said: "If the master can't tell the reason, then your apprentice is probably not We need to get out of this magic palace."

Mu Qingfang: "..."

The two confronted each other, and Shen Qingqiu pondered for a while in the room, intuiting that Luo Binghe was asking about his body suddenly getting smaller.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Qingqiu was startled suddenly, didn't Mu Qingfang... know that he is Shen Qingqiu?

This realization made him feel a little panic and... shame for no reason.

If Mu Qingfang found out that he was forced to lie under Luo Binghe's body, what face would he have?

Shen Qingqiu secretly gritted his teeth but there was nothing he could do, he could only put aside his messy thoughts for the time being and concentrate on listening to the conversation of the two outside.

In the end, Mu Qingfang was defeated and said: "I really don't know. After all, it is not easy to reshape the physical body. Any mistake in any link can affect the use of the body. According to what you said, it may be because of the The blood is impure, or the recalled soul is incomplete, so under some stimulation, the physical body becomes smaller and looks like a child. This is all possible. However, I see that his physical body is growing slowly, and he will be able to return to the original in a short time It looks good, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Reshape the flesh?

If it was as I thought at the beginning, this physical body was made of other things.

Thinking of this, although Shen Qingqiu had already made preparations, he still felt a little nervous.

Luo Binghe continued to ask: "Then what other symptoms might appear?" He frowned, and said: "Are you sure that his current situation won't directly cause his physical body to age and decay?"

Mu Qingfang looked quite speechless, and said: "I'm really not sure about the other symptoms, but at least the rapid aging of the physical body will not happen. After all, it is a rare spiritual creature. What did you shape him into at the beginning, and how old is it?" , and when he recovers, it should be the same."

Hearing what he said, Luo Binghe finally frowned slightly, and asked again: "What else?"

Mu Qingfang asked suspiciously: "What else? Not anymore."

Luo Binghe said: "Spiritual power."

Mu Qingfang frowned in confusion and said, "What spiritual power? I didn't find any spiritual power in his body when I diagnosed it just now."

Hearing this, Luo Binghe's eyes became darker, and he murmured: "It's gone... It's good to be gone, I can't run away anymore..."

Seeing him, Mu Qingfang felt apprehensive, stared at him for a moment, and said, "Are you alright?"

Maybe what he wants to say in his heart is, are you okay?

Luo Binghe raised his head, smiled very normally, and said: "When I just brought him back, I found that his body was overflowing with spiritual energy, so I thought that if I abolished it, it might cause irreversible damage to that physical body, so I only used some methods to seal the spiritual power in his body. However, this physical body was indeed somewhat unexpected, because suddenly one day, I discovered that Shen Qingqiu was actually trying to escape from me with that body of spiritual power... "

He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said: "Although I caught him back. But, are you sure that his spiritual power is gone?"

Shen Qingqiu carefully concealed the spiritual flow that was slowly recovering, although it was so intermittent that it was hard to notice, it was his life-saving tool.

"..." Mu Qingfang thought for a while, and gave a vague answer: "Maybe."

Luo Binghe seemed dissatisfied with this answer, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

After a while, Mu Qingfang asked again: "Then can I take my disciple away?"

Hearing this, Luo Binghe raised his head and smiled and said: "What's the hurry, when my master recovers, I will naturally return my uncle and your apprentice safely, and save my nephew from having to go all out to find you, right?"

Over there, Gou Yan came in from the door, and invited Mu Qingfang, who was a bit displeased, outside.

Mu Qingfang took a few steps outside, and finally turned around and said to Luo Binghe who was walking into the room: "Luo Binghe...Even if your master is bad in every way, I still hope that you..."

Luo Binghe looked back at him.

Mu Qingfang continued: "...I still hope you will spare his life."

Shen Qingqiu looked at Luo Binghe's back from inside the door, couldn't see his expression, only heard his voice still with a bit of a smile, and said: "Master was joking, there is no such thing as forgiveness, the disciple should do his best Be filial to Master." After speaking, he turned his head and walked into the house.

Shen Qingqiu climbed back onto the bed, pulled off the quilt and covered it, and closed his eyes.

As Luo Binghe's footsteps approached, he couldn't help thinking, what Luo Binghe said just now must have been a bit of teasing, joking, or sarcasm?

He didn't know, because he got back on the bed a moment before Luo Binghe turned his head.

Luo Binghe sat down on the bed, stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, he acted like he had just woken up, and patted that hand away impatiently.

Shen Qingqiu rolled up the quilt and turned inside, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Luo Binghe looked at him from behind him, while reaching out to gently rub his head.

This made Shen Qingqiu feel like a pain in his back, thousands of words of hatred and swearing were accumulated in his throat but he couldn't vent it.

After a long time, Luo Binghe said: "I... It's not that I don't forget to pick you up... I do. It's just that something delayed me."

Shen Qingqiu still ignored him, but unconsciously grasped the brocade quilt with his hand hidden in the quilt.

He wanted to yell and question, but Luo Binghe was explaining, and he couldn't help but listen.He argued in his heart that if he didn't give a satisfactory explanation, it would not be too late to scold him.

Luo Binghe doesn't seem to have the experience of explaining the reasons to others, or confessing his own mistakes, so now he stumbles when he speaks.

He explained to himself: "I have always been concerned about Master's body, lest something might go wrong, so I started looking for Mu Qingfang a long time ago, who was the peak master of Qiancao Peak in Cangqiong Mountain back then."

When he destroyed Cang Qiong Mountain back then, he didn't kill Mu Qingfang. Mu Qingfang fled far away and hid in a hidden way. It was really not easy for Luo Binghe to find him in a short while.

Not long ago, I finally got some news. It happened that Shen Qingqiu's body suddenly became smaller. Luo Binghe felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he went to the small town where Mu Qingfang was hiding.

At that time, the woman in blue that Luo Binghe was chasing was Mu Qingfang's apprentice. He was eager to find Mu Qingfang, so he wanted to catch her as bait and force Mu Qingfang to come to the Demon Realm.

As a bargaining chip for the exchange of apprentices, he was asked to come to the Demon Realm to diagnose Shen Qingqiu's body.

It's just that he didn't expect that woman to have a bit of hiding ability, and it took Luo Binghe all night to catch her.

Shen Qingqiu listened to his explanation in silence, but he found that no matter what Luo Binghe explained, he still wanted to beat him hard, so that his life would be worse than death, so that he wouldn't be able to vent his anger.

Luo Binghe paused, and said: "I didn't know that something like that would happen..."

"I thought...you would leave, or just find a place to sleep for the night. Because you are always disobedient...Shen Qingqiu..."

Luo Binghe originally wanted to lean over and hug him, but Shen Qingqiu's pent-up anger reached a critical point because of his words.

"Snapped!"

He turned around and slapped Luo Binghe with all his strength, and cursed: "Luo Binghe, you... you bastard! You deserve to die!"

Luo Binghe's eyes were gloomy, but he didn't say anything, and sat up straight, still beside him.

Shen Qingqiu stood up and wanted to slap again, a little desperate.

There was no way, he felt very angry, very unwilling, and felt...very wronged.

He didn't know what to do, things were always going out of his control, which made him very uneasy, so he blamed Luo Binghe for all his faults.

Luo Binghe frowned and grabbed his hands, but didn't do anything extra, just took advantage of the situation and pressed him into his arms.

Shen Qingqiu leaned on his shoulder panting, then whimpered and bit his shoulder fiercely.

Luo Binghe suddenly withdrew his hand, still holding him tightly in his arms.

After a long time, Shen Qingqiu panted heavily, his face was a little red, but he finally recovered.Immediately, I felt that I had really lost face. How is this different from a three-year-old child?

He calmed down, pushed Luo Binghe away, and asked in as calm a tone as possible: "How did you deal with those people?"

Those beasts who dared to bully him.

Luo Binghe thought for a while, and said: "The head was cut off and thrown into the river, and the body was skinned and hung upside down on the willow tree by the river."

"How is it?" He smiled at Shen Qingqiu: "Is Master still satisfied?"

Shen Qingqiu rarely agreed with Luo Binghe's actions, nodded and said: "Good job."

"However," he said with a smile, "you don't know who ordered it, do you?"

Luo Binghe sighed: "Master is really smart."

Shen Qingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Say it straight."

Luo Binghe unceremoniously confessed his woman: "Qin Wanrong."

Shen Qingqiu smiled: "Leave her to me."

Luo Binghe raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Shen Qingqiu said with a sneer: "You are willing."

Luo Binghe smiled at him, and said calmly: "That's natural. After all, who can compare to Master?"

Shen Qingqiu smiled, but unconsciously pinched the quilt hard with his hands and let go.

I can't tell how I feel.

Because the person in front of him clearly spoke such sincere words, but the look in his eyes was disgustingly false.
