Every swallow was accompanied by a slight tremor, and the eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly's wings being wet.
Physiological tears overflowed from the corners of the eyes, slid down the red ends of the eyes, and disappeared into the hair on the temples.
Until the last moment, her hands clenched the fabric on his knees so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and then she loosened them little by little.
Lu Ling finally took his hand away.
Mu Ningxue turned away suddenly, leaned on the bedside and coughed violently several times, causing his shoulders to tremble.
The long silver hair fell from her shoulders, covering all her expressions at the moment.
She covered her mouth tightly with the back of her hand, and the exposed side of her face was so red that it almost bled, and it burned from the pinna of her ears to the base of her neck.
My breathing was rapid and chaotic, my chest was heaving, and I couldn't say a complete sentence for quite a while.
"... You, please let go..." Her voice was hoarse, with a tiny vibrato.
Lu Ling didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and gently rubbed away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips. His movements were very light and slow, as if he was wiping a fragile piece of porcelain.
Mu Ningxue didn't slap his hand away.
She just buried her face lower, into her folded arms, and her voice came out muffled, as thin as a mosquito.
"... Bad guy."
Seeing how cute Mu Ningxue is, the flame of Lu Ling that had not been completely extinguished instantly ignited.
"Ah..." Mu Ningxue exclaimed.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The next morning.
Everyone embarked on the journey to Mexico.
The documents were withheld again without any suspense. This time, they had to walk from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, crossing three or four countries along the way. Just thinking about it made people's scalp numb.
"Did you play so crazy last night?"
Jiang Shaoxu This vixen came close to Lu Ling again. His eyes turned to the sleeping figure on his shoulder, and the corners of his lips curved meaningfully.
Mu Ningxue is lying on Lu Ling's back, with his long silver hair hanging down from his shoulders, swaying gently with his steps.
Her eyes were closed tightly, her breathing was long and even, and there was still a slight blush on her cheeks that had not faded away, as if she was extremely tired and would not wake up no matter how noisy the surroundings were at this moment.
Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni, who were following Lu Ling, looked at each other.
Jiang Shaoxu's ridicule was impartial, and it hit a certain memory in their hearts that they were ashamed to talk about.
They thought Mu Ningxue would receive Lu Ling's tenderness... But now it seems that everyone is treated equally... Mu Ningxue is also very hard-working.
"Long time no see." Lu Ling said lightly.
Seeing each other again after a long separation is naturally like firewood.
"Hey, I'm really not ashamed." Jiang Shaoxu curled his lips and wrinkled the tip of his nose slightly.
"Want to try it?" Lu Ling laughed.
"Do you dare?"
Lu Ling didn't answer, just blinked at her.
Jiang Shaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She jerked her head away, even the base of her ears turned red.
What an idiot, why would she ask such a question?
This guy is so brave!!
"..."
Jiang Shaoxu's provocation failed, and she fled.
Although she escaped, she still set her sights on Lu Ling, and some memories emerged.
"Daughter, is Lu Ling by your side?"
"Uh... well, how do you know him?" Jiang Shaoxu was stunned.
"Hahaha, with him here, no matter how dangerous it is, I can't stop you... Of course, I will make him pay the price for that idiot officer who made my daughter angry." Jiang Nian smiled, and his voice gradually became colder.
"..."
Dad actually knew about the existence of Lu Ling.
The person who could receive the attention of her father and have such an attitude... could only be a big shot at the same level...
Jiang Shaoxu looked deeply at the back of Lu Ling.
Lu Ling... What on earth are you...
Passing through a small village, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
The village is built along the sea, and the land is hilly and terraced, with scattered wooden and bluegrass shacks built along the mountainside.
The white path winds up the mountain, with a kind of red vanilla planted on both sides. Its light and elegant fragrance fills the mountain, and you don't feel tired at all.
The whole village is like a dream cut out of a fairy tale.
"Let's rest here." Jiang Shaoxu was the first to stop, his eyes already filled with light.
"Didn't you just rest for a long time?" Ai Jiangtu replied in a puzzled manner.
Nan Jue glared at him fiercely.
It's rare to see her show off her natural side as a girl.
The other girls, Mu Nujiao, Mu Tingying, Nan Rongni, etc., all had a different kind of brilliance in their eyes, and they were obviously looking forward to it.
The sky and clouds above our heads seem to be more colorful here than elsewhere.
Lu Ling didn't care, he just stared at the vague fence deep in the village for a moment and didn't say anything.
This... is a small stronghold of the Red Ornament Guild?
Everyone climbed up the stairs along the path around the mountain.
The elegant scent of red vanilla is wrapped in the sea breeze, making you feel relaxed and happy every step you take.
As soon as we reached the entrance of the village, a large fence lay across the middle of the path.
Next to the fence stood a small thatched pavilion, in which sat a woman with all kinds of pendants hanging all over her body.
She raised her eyes and saw this group of oriental faces. Her eyes first flashed a hint of something unnoticeable, and then she smiled charmingly.
"Lost travelers, do you want to stay in this dreamy village, or do you have other plans? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice that you have brought your female companions with you."
The woman's skin is darker, but its texture has an alluring clean luster, elasticity and wildness, which is a rare aura among oriental women.
Zhao Manyan immediately had a glint in his eyes, and he hurried forward to hook up with her.
Lu Ling suddenly raised his hand and held it in vain.
"Mind Control."
Oni's face changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth to shout, but no sound came out of his throat.
Her whole body was directly lifted off the ground by an invisible force. The strangle marks on her neck were clearly visible. Her legs were kicked violently in the air, and her face was twisted into a look of panic.
"Lu Ling... What are you doing?" Ai Jiangtu asked in a deep voice.
He doesn't think Lu Ling will kill innocent people indiscriminately, but he needs to find out the reason first.
"This woman belongs to the Red Ornament Guild. Their people are currently collecting protection fees in the village." Lu Ling said calmly.
When Oni heard Lu Ling reveal his identity, his struggling movements suddenly froze, and the color on his face faded a bit.
"What?"
Zhao Manyan's eyes widened, and then a surge of anger shot up in his chest.
"This bitch-looking woman belongs to the Red Ornament Guild? Isn't that a group of pirates!?"
Just now, he was thinking that this woman looked good and had a good figure. It happened that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so he could have a brief taste of exotic customs.
But now he is told that this woman is one of those pirates who does nothing but burn, kill, and loot?
"How did you see it?" Nan Jue was a little curious.
It's just curiosity, not suspicion. She trusts Lu Ling.
Back then in Scorching Plains, Lu Ling could sense her hidden presence. Maybe even now, Lu Ling might sense that there is something dirty in this town.
"The municipal government of this place has colluded with the Red Ornament Guild. They have long been used to being domineering. Look at the red sleeves on her arms."
Lu Ling's words focused everyone's attention on Oni's arm.
It turns out that this is the symbol of the Red Ornament Guild.
These pirates dare to walk in broad daylight. Maybe this place is really rotten.
Lu Ling started to draw Psychic Element Advanced Level Star Constellation and almost finished it in one breath.
Soul Search.
Oni's whole body suddenly trembled violently, his eyes rolled back, as if he was suffering unimaginable pain.
With a plop, she fell straight to the ground and stopped breathing.
Everyone was caught off guard.
"Just kill him like that?"
Zhao Manyan widened his eyes in surprise, and suddenly felt a little pity.
"It's still warm." Lu Ling said with a smile.
"Forget it, forget it."
Zhao Manyan shook his head repeatedly. Although he felt it was a pity, he had no interest in corpses.
"The municipal government is rotten. Even if she is handed over to the local government, she will be released in two days. It is better to kill her directly." Lu Ling explained simply.
Everyone heard this and said nothing more.
A person who is full of evil will die when he dies.
"Let's go to the town. The people inside are still collecting protection fees."
We are all young and energetic people, so there should be some sense of justice in us.
After being reminded by Lu Ling, I couldn't help but quicken my pace and set off deeper into the town.
