People are cursing back, and the good impression is full

They still do.

Kuroi didn't want Riko to become the astral plasma body fused by Lord Tengen. The more she got along with Riko, the more reluctant she became.

Whenever she thought of this, it would be Riko, who was only in her teens, who comforted her.

But Kuroi knew that Riko was not as open-minded and cheerful as she appeared. When she was tidying up Riko's diary, the wind blew open a page of her diary.

And the words written on that diary were eight characters that Kuroi still couldn't forget.

"If you can't form a bond, it will only increase your loneliness."

This is a sentence often used to describe the love story between an immortal and a short-lived person.

A monster and a human fell in love, but after the short-lived one died, the one who left behind an immortal seed was left with only endless years of loneliness.

Rather than being destined to be alone, it is better not to meet in the beginning.

As for Riko and Kuroi, their fates are so similar to this sentence.

When she is about sixteen years old, Riko will be assimilated as an astral plasma.

No one knows what will happen after assimilation, just like no one knows what will happen after death.

In the end, we never met again.

Riko can face death with an open mind. She is not afraid of death. She is just afraid that her departure will cause Kuroi to suffer.

Gentle and brave people will choose to die after their loved ones die, because they know how heartbreaking it is to leave their loved ones to bear the loneliness and longing.

Rather than letting their loved ones bear the pain, they would rather experience the rest of their life by themselves.

Watching Kuroi walk towards the kitchen, Riko put down the towel and said to Kuroi:

"Hei Jing, let me go with you. You probably haven't eaten yet. Your stomach was rumbling when we drove back."

Hearing what Tiantian said, Kuroi blushed slightly. She glanced at Riko and did not reject her request. Instead, she smiled and said:

"Ms. Riko! Then be careful not to burn down the kitchen. Also, don't put chili sauce in my noodles!"

"Hey, no way!"

After some interactions with Kuroi, Riko's fear and worry about seeing outsiders have improved a lot.

She turned her head to look at Zenyuan Qinghe Shener, a smile as bright as the sun blooming on her face. Some of her wet hair stuck to her fair forehead, making her look like a flower blooming in the rain.

"Do you want something to eat? Hei Jing is a good cook. It will definitely be more delicious than the fried rice you eat outside! And I will also cook for you~ I want to become a great figure like Tianyuan Lord in the future! It's not easy to taste my cooking."

Riko had a faint smile on her face and she often talked about her identity.

The reason for doing this is actually very simple. She needs to keep numb herself in this way to numb herself from identifying with her identity.

At the same time, she was also paralyzing others. Through this joking way of recognition, she made everyone understand and comprehend that she had never been afraid of death. She was a qualified astral plasma, a star plasma that did not require too much effort to manage.

You should know that there was a disobedient star plasma body in the past. That star plasma body was very resistant to merging with Lord Tianyuan, and even went so far as to escape from Lord Tianyuan many times.

In order to ensure the perfect fusion of the astral plasma, in that era, everyone tied it up with chains in the basement. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all done in a small room of less than ten square meters. There was someone watching it at all times, including washing and going to the toilet.

The person eventually went crazy and completely lost control of her excretion, but no one cared about that. The only thing they cared about was preventing her from committing suicide and keeping her body intact.

As for her mental state? Actually, they didn't care.

But according to the records in ancient books, Lord Tianyuan seemed to cry and wail for a short period of time after he merged with the astral plasma.

And since that incident, Lord Tianyuan has strictly prohibited the use of more severe punishments such as detention on astral plasma bodies.

In order to avoid suffering the same fate herself and to prevent implicating Kuroi, Riko would tirelessly repeat to everyone who knew her identity that she was "proud to be an astral plasma body."

She needed to use this kind of rhetoric to protect herself, and she needed to use this kind of stupid behavior to protect Kuroi.

For a weak girl like her, pretending to be crazy and stupid is the only way for her to protect herself and those around her.

Zenin Qing looked at Li Zi in front of him and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Those who work hard to live, end up with that kind of ending, especially when they finally muster up the courage to live for themselves...

Thinking of this, Chanyuan Qing glanced at Shen'er who was sitting there watching TV without a care in the world, coughed, and then said with a smile:

"Could you go buy some rice? Buy two extra bags. I'm going to cook some Chinese food later."

"Now? It's raining outside!"

Chapter 78 Chili Pepper

Shen'er finally went out. Under Chanyuan Qing's repeated requests, threats and inducements, he walked out of the house with an umbrella, looking helpless.

Both Kuroi and Riko persuaded Zenin Kiyoshi to buy rice tomorrow, but under Zenin Kiyoshi's insistence, it was obvious that Jiner only listened to Zenin Kiyoshi's words.

In the pouring rain, Shen'er took the car keys handed to him by Riko and clicked his tongue.

I don’t know if God was a little displeased with Shen’er’s actions, but after he left, the rain outside became even heavier.

The rain fell from the sky like a waterfall, and the rain curtain in the dark night turned into the color of lights, connecting the entire sky and the ocean together.

The wind was a little strong, and the raindrops hit the window, making a "tick-tick" sound.

Riko looked at Zenin Kiyoshi and asked curiously:

"That, that..."

After a long time, Lizi still didn't know how to address Zenin Qing. She could only blush slightly and then said:

"Qingjun, why did you insist on him going out to buy rice today? And you even said the rice at home wasn't tasty... Was it because something happened outside, so you were subtly reminding him to go out and observe the surrounding situation?"

Listening to Tennariko's words, Zenin Kiyoshi smiled and shook his head, then said:

"No, I really just want to eat that brand of rice. It's okay, just think of it as asking him to go out on patrol. After all, he's been lying here all afternoon. No one wants to take money for nothing and not do any work."

Zenin Kiyoshi's answer made Riko slightly stunned, then she chuckled and said:

"You're quite an interesting guy, much better than the guards before. At least you're willing to talk to me."

"Didn't the guards talk to you earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Riko scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"They usually ignore me and tell me to shut up and be quiet, saying my behavior distracts them..."

"Do you still remember their names? I will ask Master Tianyuan when I return this time."

Looking at Zenin Qing's serious and earnest expression, Riko knew that Zenin Qing was not joking now, and he would definitely hold those two people accountable after he returned.

As for those two people, Riko actually didn't want to really do that. Although their attitudes were not particularly good, they were people who had helped her after all, so there was no need to be so decisive.

So she smiled awkwardly, and then whispered:

"I usually don't ask names. Okay, let's go to the kitchen and cook! I've never had Chinese food before! Is it delicious? How does it compare to Japanese food?"

Chanyuan Qing heard that Li Zi didn't want to tell him the news about those people, so he didn't try to get answers from Li Zi. As long as he wanted to know about these people, there were plenty of ways to ask.

The old leader of Panxing Sect is a very good breakthrough point.

Although he was thinking about other things, Zenin Sei did not fail to answer Riko's question:

"As for Chinese food, both in terms of richness and portion size, it's much more abundant than Japanese food. Furthermore, they often cook using gas, so there's more flavor and seasoning than here, so it's probably saltier and stronger."

"Really? I don't believe it. It's clearly the same ingredients, just cooked differently. How could it be as exaggerated as you describe?"

After hearing this, she took out a light grey apron from the cupboard, handed it to Chanyuan Qing, and then said:

"This is the apron that Hei Jing bought for me when I was learning cooking. It should fit you perfectly, right?"

Zenin Qing listened to Riko's words, subconsciously looked at the height of the two people, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Because boys and girls develop at different ages, girls are often taller than boys between the ages of eleven or twelve and fourteen or fifteen.

For example, Tennōriko now actually looks a little taller than himself.

And just as Riko said now, the apron she had discarded actually fit her perfectly.

Looking at Riko's hesitant look as if she wanted to laugh, Zenin Qing's face showed a hint of helplessness.

Fortunately, the color of the apron is light gray. If it was pink, then this might become my black history.

Looking at Zenin Kiyoshi who was willing to put on Riko's apron, Kuroi couldn't hide a smile on his face. It had been a long time since he had seen such a relaxed and comfortable smile on his handsome face.

"Qing, I have some small stools here that Riko used to stand on when she cooked last year. Do you want to use them?"

Although Chanyuan Qing wanted to say no, he looked at the table and nodded silently.

Suddenly, the laughter in the room became even louder.

ten minutes later.

"Can you help me clean the seeds out of these peppers? Remember to wear gloves, otherwise the spiciness will hurt between your nails."

Zenin Qing handed the screw peppers to Riko, who put on plastic gloves and said confidently:

"Don't worry! I can still do this little thing well!"

She took the screw pepper and started tearing out the pepper seeds inside.

As the strong smell of chili pepper spread throughout the air, Riko began to sneeze uncontrollably, and even tears began to flow down her face. She subconsciously wanted to rub her eyes with her hands, but was stopped by Zenin Qing.

"If your hands are covered in chili peppers, rubbing your eyes now is no different from committing suicide. Are there some tears in your left eye that you want to wipe away?"

As Zenin Qing was speaking, he stopped what he was doing, reached out, tore off a tissue, and then when Riko wasn't noticing, he used the tissue to wipe the tear marks under the corner of Riko's left eye.

When Riko felt Zenin Kiyoshi approaching, her muscles instantly tensed up.

She seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of the other person and seemed to be able to feel the warm breath brought by the other person.

I can even feel a little soft wipe under the corner of my left eye.

For a moment, the sudden onset of multiple feelings sent Riko's not-so-bright brain into overload mode.

Her eyes were red and she stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.

If she said she hated this feeling, she would leave directly and push away Zenyuan Qing's hand.

But for some reason, looking at the other person's clear eyes at this moment, Riko felt that the other person didn't think much about it.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, her eyes drooped and closed, her small earlobes were quietly stained with a hint of crimson, and her breathing became a little imperceptibly short.

Chapter 79 Ninety-nine Yuki

When driving in the rain, you always need to drive slower because of the friction of the tires. Therefore, driving slower and keeping a larger distance between cars can ensure that traffic accidents will never occur.

Shen Er was driving the car, with the wipers flicking at the windshield. The wind was so strong that some plastic waste was blown spiraling up into the sky.

He was not driving very fast. After all, it was someone else's car and he didn't have much money. If he damaged someone else's car, it would not be easy to pay for it.

If something goes wrong, you can't expect to win your money back by betting on horses, right?

And now...

Suddenly, a woman's figure appeared in my mind, and my mind was slightly distracted.

In fact, even Shen'er himself didn't know why, but when facing that woman, he always had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

The feeling of being with her was similar to being with that little kid Zenin Qing, but there were also some differences.

If being with this little kid Zenin Qing makes you feel less lonely and more relaxed.

So when he was with Eri, he would not only be nervous, but also a little restrained. According to common sense, he should be very resistant to this kind of emotion that made him feel uncomfortable, but he not only did not feel resistant to Eri's strange emotion, but he even felt a sense of longing.

It's not a weird desire, but a desire to be with the other person and to feel genuine joy when hearing the other person speak.

My thoughts were drifting away and I didn't even notice the situation on the road for a moment.

With the sound of sharp tires rubbing against the ground, Shen Er swerved the steering wheel and finally managed to avoid the collision before completely hitting the other party.

After stopping the car, Shen'er immediately unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and walked towards the place where the accident happened.

But the moment he got off the car, his originally worried expression changed instantly.

He just stood there, staring at the woman in front of him with waist-length golden hair and a warm smile on her face, a slightly annoyed look on his face.

The woman seemed not to notice Shi Er's gaze at the moment. She looked at Shi Er with a slight smile on her face, and then said:

"If you almost knock someone down, it's better to come over and help them pick up the motorcycle."

The woman was wearing sunglasses. Although most of her face was covered by the sunglasses and helmet, judging from her exposed fair skin and her voice, she should be just a teenage girl.

But Shen'er did not follow the woman's wishes and go over to help. He still stood there, his muscles slightly bulging, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more obvious.
