MTL - The System Wants Me To Attack the Female Protagonist of Abuse-Chapter 118 The one hundred and eighteenth tripod
◎Choose (two more in one)◎
The hairpin on Gu Chaoyu's head was swaying from side to side because of being pushed and shoved, and beads the size of pigeon eggs flowed a quiet light in the sunshine on a sunny day after the rain.
This bead is the swallowing dragon ball, but it is smaller than the other six beads, with a cool luster, and it looks so shiny.
Anyone who has seen Dragon Ball Swallowing can recognize at a glance that the hosta on Gu Chaoyu's head is made of Dragon Ball Swallowing beads.
When Lu Qingchen saw Gu Chaoyu's hair on the temples in the early morning, he recognized Dragon Ball Swallowing almost immediately.
But he didn't care about swallowing the dragon ball, what he cared about was who sent the hairpin between Gu Chaoyu's temples.
Looking at Chaoyu's married woman's bun, she thought about it with her toes, and knew that her hairstyle was not for him, but for the deceased Lu Cha.
This realization made Lu Qingchen fall into a hysterical rage immediately.
He had even forgotten that he betrayed Gu Chaoyu first, and that he had been low-spirited for the past few days, asking for Gu Chaoyu's forgiveness in order to restore his precarious family status.
Although Lu Qingchen had a tantrum with the Lu family's family, and had been spouting Zizong for a long time, but this was because he had the confidence. He was certain that he was the best bloodline among the Lu family's direct descendants, and his status was unshakable.
But now, he was killed by Simmons' sword, and he could no longer be a man. He could only rely on the child in Gu Chaoyu's belly to turn around his life that was about to fall off a cliff.
But Lu Qingchen was about to be tortured insane, not only because of the physical pain, but also because of the mental pressure that Gu Chaoyu put on him.
Compared to Lu Qingchen's full of anger, Gu Chaoyu seemed much calmer.
She doesn't seem to care about his pulling, or she has long been dead to him, and is used to his incompetence and weakness, blaming all the faults on others.
Gu Chaoyu looked at him indifferently, and didn't seem to care about him at all.
Pei Ming looked at the delicate and tense atmosphere between the two, and his dark eyes sank slightly.
Now, including the swallowing dragon **** on the hairpin between Gu Chaoyu's temples, he has already collected seven swallowing dragon balls.
And the biggest problem they will face now is the sacrifice to the patron saint on the volcano.
Pei Ming used Yuwei Daojun's feelings for him to sacrifice himself, so as to achieve the purpose of summoning the dragon, which is obviously just the last resort.
Originally it was the second best choice, but now it seems that there is a better candidate for sacrifice at this time.
Obviously, the eight-year-long relationship between Gu Chaoyu and Lu Qingchen was more suitable for the sacrifice of the Volcano Patronus than the false relationship between him and Yuwei Daojun.
But this idea only flashed in Pei Ming's mind, and then it disappeared without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.
Gu Chaoyu and the child in her womb are Pei Ming's only bargaining chip to keep Song Dingding. If this bargaining chip is gone, Song Dingding will definitely leave him without hesitation.
In comparison, everything else seems less important.
Just when Pei Ming lost his mind, Daojun Yuwei approached Gu Chaoyu. Although he didn't ask, but looking at Lu Qingchen's annoyed look, he probably guessed that the hairpin on Gu Chaoyu's head should be with death. Lu Cha is related.
"The disciple sent by the deity to inquire about the news just came back not long ago. The city owner of Greedy Huan City did not lie. There is no way ahead, only a volcano in the distance..."
He glanced at Gu Chaoyu and paused for a moment: "We have gone through untold hardships along the way, and the disciples of various sects have been killed and injured countless times, just waiting to gather seven swallowing dragon balls, summon the dragon, and rescue the people of the three continents and nine continents."
"Presumably Miss Gu, she definitely doesn't want to see so many people sacrifice in vain. The people have passed away, and I wish Miss Gu my condolences."
Daojun Yuwei said so much, but in the end, he just hoped that Gu Chaoyu would take care of the overall situation and give him the hairpin between his temples.
Gu Chaoyu didn't answer him, didn't speak, just lowered his head in silence, his eyes fell on his feet, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Daojun Yuwei gave her time to think, and did not rush her to make a decision, but Lu Qingchen looked at Gu Chaoyu's silence, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned even more.
Before coming to Daojun Yuwei's room, Lu Qingchen tried to remove Gu Chaoyu's woman's bun, but Gu Chaoyu had been protecting his hair tightly. He was afraid of hurting the child in her belly, so he could only It's over.
Anyway, other people don't know whether Gu Chaoyu and him are reconciled. When they leave the secret realm, he will use all the forces of the Lu family to force Gu Chaoyu to marry.
Seeing Gu Chaoyu's woman's hair in a bun, others would only think that she was combing it for him, and no one would think of Lu Cha, who was already dead.
Even if some people think of Lu Cha, they are concerned about the influence of the Lu family in the three continents and nine continents, and forgive them for not saying it directly, making him lose face.
Lu Qingchen hurriedly handed over the hairpin on Gu Chaoyu's head to Daojun Yuwei, wanting to end this absurdity as soon as possible. After leaving the secret realm, he dragged Gu Chaoyu to Daojun Yuwei's room.
Who knows, he gave Yuwei Daojun to swallow dragon balls, but Yuwei Daojun gave him no face at all.
In front of so many people, he actually directly pierced his little abacus. The sentence that the person had passed away made Gu Chaoyu mourn, like a loud slap hitting him in the face.
Lu Qingchen was angry and anxious, but his face was flushed. He raised his hand, wanting to tear off the hairpin on Gu Chaoyu's temples in public.
However, before he could touch her hair, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him. The palm was pale and colorless, and it was as cold as the hand of a dead person.
That hand was unceremonious, and slapped his arm directly. The force was so strong that it taught him that the pain was unbearable, and he couldn't help screaming in a low voice.
"You are sick…"
Lu Qingchen shouted subconsciously, but when his eyes met Pei Ming's black eyes, his angry voice stopped abruptly.
For some reason, looking at Pei Ming's eyes, it was as if there was an octopus monster, sticking to his throat with a sucker, and quickly dragging him into the bottomless seabed, making it difficult for him to breathe, almost suffocating.
He wanted to move his eyes away, but he couldn't escape the feeling of suffocation. Before he knew it, there were bulging blue veins on his neck, and his cheeks were flushed.
Pei Ming snorted lightly, looked sarcastic, and looked away lightly.
Lu Qingchen's legs and feet softened, and Jing Shi directly slumped on the ground, clutching his neck with both hands, gasping for breath.
As for Fang Cai, those anger that had nowhere to vent seemed to disappear under Pei Ming's invisible pressure, leaving only a burst of heart palpitations and fear.
Lu Qingchen was sweating profusely on his forehead, his face was red and white, and he looked very embarrassed: "What did you do to me?!"
Pei Ming ignored him, just turned around, looked at Gu Chaoyu and said, "The meaning of the gift is not the gift itself, but the heart of the person who gave you the gift."
He has always had a cold temper and rarely consoles others. Daojun Yuwei looked at Pei Ming's serious look, and an inexplicable feeling flowed through his heart.
It was like seeing a hedgehog that likes to blow thorns, suddenly showing him its soft belly, which made him feel a little helpless, mixed with indescribable excitement.
It was as if the two of them, master and apprentice, had returned to the good times they used to get along in Yufeng Mountain, and there was no misunderstanding or separation between them.
Pei Ming still trusted him like that.
Gu Chaoyu, who had been silent all the time, seemed to follow Pei Ming's voice and came to her senses. Her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly raised her head.
She seemed to murmur softly and repeated in a low voice: "It's not about the gift itself, but about... the intention of the person who gave the gift?"
The confusion in Gu Chaoyu's eyes gradually disappeared, she raised her hand, took off the hairpin between her temples, and gave her hands to Pei Ming.
Pei Ming looked at the hairpin in her hand, and suddenly remembered the gift Song Dingding once gave him.
Many years ago, he was imprisoned in the cellar, and he gave himself a step down because he wanted to see the leaves of the phoenix tree, just looking forward to seeing Song Dingding again.
Song Dingding agreed to his request, and when he came to see him next time, he also brought the sycamore leaf as promised.
At that time, he was overjoyed, but he didn't know it until later.
On the entire island, there is only a plane tree in his yard, and that plane tree was cut down by the dragon princess when he was locked in the cellar.
When he died, he didn't know where Song Dingding got that sycamore leaf.
It's a pity that he didn't have time to ask after all, the sycamore leaf was trampled under his feet, and with the end of his life, it was crushed into the soil.
Pei Ming raised his hand and took the hairpin handed by Gu Chaoyu. For some reason, he did not buckle the swallowing dragon ball on the hairpin.
He glanced at the swallowing dragon ball on the hairpin, and then turned the hairpin to Daojun Yuwei: "If it's still early today, if the hands and feet are quicker, you may be able to reach the volcano before evening."
Although Daojun Yuwei was in a hurry, he wanted to leave the secret realm as soon as possible, for fear of further changes.
But he still remembered that Pei Ming had a high fever just now. If he was on his way at this time, with Pei Ming's current situation, he was afraid that he would fall ill if he couldn't hold on to the volcano.
Could it be that Daojun Yuwei thought about putting Pei Ming before the world, he hesitated and did not respond.
And Pei Ming seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and slowly said: "Master was born, and he shouldered the world's important responsibilities. I hope that Master will remember the mission, and don't bear the responsibility of the world."
This high hat of the world is buttoned down, no matter how hesitant Yuwei Daojun is in his heart, it is not easy to continue to say anything.
"Everyone, go back and pack your luggage. After a stick of incense, gather outside the City Lord's Mansion."
Yuwei Daojun only said this sentence, then closed the door to thank the guests, and drove everyone out.
In an instant, only he and Pei Ming were left in the room. Pei Ming also wanted to leave, but was stopped by him: "Ming'er, it was the deity who misunderstood you and caused you to suffer so much..."
This is Daojun Yuwei's belated apology to Pei Ming. He wanted to say it early in the morning, but his identity shackled him, making it difficult for him to bow his head, bow down, and apologize to Pei Ming.
When Pei Ming heard his words, he only felt ridiculous in his heart.
If it weren't for him, but someone next to him came to be punished, then dozens of whips would have killed his life long ago, so how could he wait for Daojun Yuwei's belated apology.
Pei Ming didn't finish listening to Daojun Yuwei's apology, he raised his head, and the curvature of the corner of his lips was shallow: "I don't blame you, I went to the Immortal Mansion to steal the Chaos Lock, all for my selfishness, I am willing."
This sentence is extremely considerate, and it is completely thinking about the problem from the position of Daojun Yuwei. No man can stand such tender words.
Seeing that Yuwei Daojun's face was soft, Pei Ming put it away when he saw it, and leaned over slightly: "I'm going back to pack my things, so don't delay everyone's trip."
After all, he did not wait for Yuwei Daojun to react, and left the house first.
Only Yuwei Daojun was left, looking at the distant back with a dull expression, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
The disciple he sent, inquired and came back and told him that there was no one near the volcano, no one was there.
It's just that occasionally in the volcano, there will be bursts of roaring roars, which is the patron saint of the volcano, warning them.
This inquiring news seems to confirm what the lord of Greedy City said that day, that there is no longer a road ahead, and some are just a volcano that has been silent for a long time and will erupt at any time.
For some reason, remembering that the patron saint who guards the volcano feeds on people, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and suddenly remembered what Song Dingding had said.
If he had to sacrifice Pei Ming to summon the dragon, how would he choose?
Is it to choose the common people in the world, to sacrifice Pei Ming for the responsibility he was born with?
Or choose Pei Ming, for his own selfishness, let Sanlu and Jiuzhou fall into the sea of fire, and waste all the perseverance and efforts of all the people?
Maybe a day ago, he would have given his answer unswervingly, but at this moment, his mood has undergone a subtle change unknowingly - he began to hesitate.
Yuwei Daojun's gaze was so intense that it was impossible to ignore his gaze. Pei Ming seemed to sense Yuwei Daojun's hesitation, but he didn't take it to heart.
What he did today was to deepen his position in the mind of Daojun Yuwei, and to eliminate all the estrangements over the past few days.
The more that Yuwei Daojun cared about him, the more smoothly he would be sacrificed to the guardian deity of the volcano.
At this time, Pei Ming couldn't tolerate a little mishap, and he didn't have much time left.
He stepped out of Yuwei Daojun's yard, and as soon as he walked out, the pace eased.
He had nothing to clean up, but he felt that there was no need to stay by Daojun Yuwei's side, so he took advantage of this to leave.
Pei Ming slowly returned to his yard, and Li Hua, who was standing outside the door, had long since disappeared.
He was about to walk in, when his feet moved suddenly, he slowly lowered his head, and looked at what he was stepping on under his feet.
His shoes moved up two inches, revealing the light persimmon-colored purse soaked in the rain and covered in mud.
He slowly narrowed his black eyes, vaguely remembering that Song Dingding was outside the yard. After hearing the conversation between the two of them, something seemed to fall from his hand.
At that time, his attention was all on Song Dingding, and he didn't pay attention to what fell under his feet.
At this time, Pei Ming could see clearly that what Song Dingding was originally holding was his purse?
This purse contained Li Zhi's things—a dry wild flower and a wooden bell.
Since Li Zhi's death, Pei Ming put these two things in his purse and put them in the storage ring, but he hasn't taken them out for a long time.
Like that unwilling memory, this purse was sealed in a corner. Only two days ago in the city lord's yard, he rummaged through the storage ring and took out the purse.
At that time, the yard was full of pigs that were turned into disciples of the sect. It happened that when he was looking for something, Song Dingding came to the yard. He heard her voice and put the purse in his sleeve first.
Even if he accidentally dropped the purse in the yard during the later pulling, this purse should not be in Song Dingding's hands. ?
Just as Pei Ming lost his mind, a slightly hoarse female voice came from behind: "Miss Pei, have you seen A Ding today?"
The person here is Gu Chaoyu, she looks very good today, her cheeks are flushed with a touch of red, as if there is something happy.
Pei Ming came back to his senses and bent over to pick up the purse on the ground. He turned around and looked at Gu Chaoyu: "I've never seen it before."
When he tells a lie, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, which makes it impossible for people to doubt the truth of his words.
Fortunately, Gu Chaoyu did not doubt his words, she sighed, as if she felt a little pity.
Then, from the storage ring, he took out the makeup gown that Lu Cha gave her, and delivered it to Pei Ming: "You and A Ding have always had a good relationship, so help me give this makeup gown to her."
Pei Ming looked at the makeup in front of him, Gu Chaoyu's words "You and A Ding have always been good" echoed in his ears, and the slight curvature of his lips was slightly mocking.
"One more sentence, please help me bring it to A Ding..."
He interrupted her: "Since it's a valuable thing, you might as well give it to her with your own hands."
After saying this, Pei Ming walked forward with a slightly hasty pace.
Gu Chaoyu froze outside the yard for a while, sighed softly, muttered something in a low voice, with a hint of regret on his face, turned and left the yard.
Daojun Yuwei gave the disciples time to pack a stick of incense, but at Lu Qingchen's urging, they didn't even have time for half a cup of tea. Gather outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Pei Ming was the last person to appear outside the mansion. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the city lord's mansion, he saw Li Hua next to the stone lion.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was slightly frozen.
Just looking at each other for a moment, Li Hua took the lead in withdrawing his gaze.
He heard people say early in the morning that Daojun Yuwei had gathered seven swallowing dragon balls. From then to now, he has been in a state of panic.
He thought that Pei Ming would bring Song Dingding, so he hid in the dark and secretly observed Pei Ming.
Unexpectedly, after Pei Ming left Daojun Yuwei's courtyard, he went straight back to his room.
If Song Dingding, the famous general of Pei, hid in the room, why was there still no one beside Pei Ming when he came out?
This made Li Hua a little confused.
Now that seven swallowing dragon **** have been gathered, if he follows the plan, Pei Ming should bring Song Dingding by his side and go to the volcano to sacrifice Song Dingding together.
But until now, Song Dingding has not been seen.
Could it be that Pei Ming secretly changed his plan?
Li Hua really couldn't find any clues, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only hang his head in agony, quietly waiting for Pei Ming's next move.
Xu was because of Pei Ming's late arrival, and Lu Qingchen's face was extremely ugly, but remembering the pain he had just endured in Yuwei Daojun's room, he didn't dare to point fingers at Pei Ming.
He suppressed his anger and said to Daojun Yuwei, "It's almost noon. If you want to get to the volcano before dark, it's better to speed up your journey. Don't delay everyone because of the love of your children."
Lu Qingchen's strange tone of yin and yang made Daojun Yuwei feel a little uncomfortable, but the words "children's love" seemed to have pierced his mind. Touched for a while.
Daojun Yuwei noticed that Song Dingding was not in the team, and couldn't help but ask, "Where did A Ding go?"
This seems to be asking Pei Ming, but Pei Ming said without changing his face: "She is not feeling well, we should hurry first."
Yuwei Daojun felt that something was wrong. If he could summon the dragon when he reached the volcano, the secret realm would open the exit.
At that time, Song Dingding was still stranded in the city of Greed Huan. What if he was left in the secret realm?
But Pei Ming didn't want to explain more, just said coldly: "We walk on foot, if A Ding follows, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on to the volcano."
"The city owner will help prepare the horse, and when she wakes up, she will chase after her. Master is relieved that she will be there before we leave."
Without the swallowing dragon **** in the scarecrows in the fields, everything in the city of Greed Huan has returned to its original appearance. In order to make the people adapt to the working life as soon as possible, the city owner spent a lot of money to buy commonly used livestock outside the city.
Seeing that Pei Ming had already said this, Daojun Yuwei couldn't hold on to it any longer, he nodded slightly: "Let's go."
The voice fell, and everyone walked in the direction of the volcano.
Li Hua was about to leave, but Pei Ming's indifferent voice sounded beside him: "Did you pick up that purse?"
After he heard Pei Ming's question clearly, his body suddenly froze, his fingers under his sleeves trembled uncontrollably.
Why does Pei Ming ask this?
Could it be that Song Dingding said something to him?
Or, what did Pei Ming discover?
Xu Shi felt the scrutiny in his eyes, and Li Hua forced himself to calm down, for fear that there might be a flaw in him, and Pei Ming could see it.
Obviously, Pei Ming was just testing him.
If he is in a mess, he will not resort to himself and push himself into **** without redemption.
"Wuzang Daojun is talking to me?" Li Hua turned around, tried to pretend to be calm, looked at Pei Ming casually and asked, "What purse?"
