Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1961
Li Ji stood stiffly by the tree, thinking he was dreaming.

Otherwise, why would he hear Ying Baoyue's voice?

But the next moment, a faint emerald green light lit up around him, dotted with stars, like fireflies on a summer night.

Li Ji opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the lit tree trunk beside him.

The moment he noticed that the lines of the tree trunk were shining again, his first reaction was to look up at the window of Ji Jiashu's room upstairs.

Fortunately, Ji Jiashu had the habit of sleeping with the windows closed at night, and the leaves of the locust tree were hanging outside the closed windows at this time.

Seeing this scene, Li Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment he found that he was actually grateful for this matter, and his heart was filled with shame.

I was ashamed of my own reaction, but also speechless for my little thought.

What is he doing?
It's not like he's having an affair with someone late at night.

"Li Ji?"

At this moment, Ying Baoyue's voice came again.

Li Ji stretched out his hand to support the tree trunk, he opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of hemp, and he couldn't make a sound or say a word.

The turbulent emotion was stuck in his chest, and there was nowhere to dispose of it, and it couldn't dissipate.

But even though he didn't answer, the fireflies around the tree trunk in front of him were still dancing, they didn't disappear or leave.

He could even sense that the person opposite was waiting patiently.

Complex emotions welled up in Li Ji's eyes.

He lowered his head with his hands on the tree trunk, and finally said slowly, "Hug the moon."

"It really is you," Ying Baoyue smiled, "I thought you weren't going to talk to me tonight."

"I……"

Li Ji always felt that his throat was blocked again, he swallowed with difficulty, "You...why are you still here?"

According to what Ji Jiashu said before, there is a complete set of steps to get in touch with Ying Baoyue through the air. Not only do you need a tree, but you also need to chant poems.

Not to mention whether he can do such a thing, he just walked to the side of the tree just now, and didn't do the previous steps.

But even so, he could hear Ying Baoyue's voice, and there was only one explanation.

That's what she's always been.

The last contact was not interrupted, but they thought it was interrupted.Although Ying Baoyue told them to leave, she was actually standing by the tree the whole time.

When someone walked under the locust tree again, the previous connection was reactivated.

Li Ji looked at the tree trunk in front of her. If no one came tonight, is she going to stand under the tree all night?

"Why are you still there?"

Ying Baoyue stood under the starry sky, stroking the little tree in front of her, "I don't know, maybe it's because I sleep too much during the day and can't sleep at night?"

Li Ji frowned, as soon as he heard it, he knew she was fooling him.

"Don't just talk about me, what about you?"

Ying Baoyue gave a low laugh, "What are you doing late at night? You can't sleep either?"

Li Ji was speechless immediately, "I..."

Sensing that the person opposite had fallen into silence again, Ying Baoyue couldn't help but smiled wryly, "You're not in the right mood tonight, Li Ji, what happened?"

Li Ji understood that he should not be silent anymore, there was no one else around him at this moment, if he continued to keep silent, it would only hurt her heart.

"It's nothing."

Li Ji said in a low voice, "It's just that I've been staying in this place and can't go out, I'm a little bored."

Does he feel suffocated?
Ying Baoyue stood under the tree and stared wide-eyed. When I first met Li Ji, who was practicing kung fu in a coffin alone in the middle of the night, would he feel bored?

After Li Ji finished speaking, he regretted it, what the hell reason he was looking for.

"If you're bored..."

Ying Baoyue didn't know how to cure this depression, so he tentatively suggested, "Why don't you go around and relax? For example, go to Liuyun Tower."

It stands to reason that Liuyun Building is next to Shanhaiju, and the entertainment venue is so complete, Li Ji and the others should not be bored.But with Li Ji's personality, he probably has no interest in drinking flower wine.

He has been going to Liuyun Tower quite often recently, although the purpose of going there is probably not the same as what Ying Baoyue thought of...

At this moment, Li Ji just wanted to quickly cover up this embarrassing topic, and replied vaguely, "Okay, I got it."

understood?
Doesn't this person really want to go to the flower bar?
Ying Baoyue stared blankly at the tree trunk in front of her.

"And you, how are you doing?"

Sensing the change in Ying Baoyue's mood, Li Ji felt a little embarrassed physically and mentally. He stretched out his hand to support the tree trunk and asked, "I didn't have time to ask before, did you get injured when you went to the Buddhist monastery this time?"

Although the mountain ghost said that the man came back without incident, he was still a little worried.

It's not that I didn't have time to ask, it's because you obviously had time before, but you didn't ask me at all.

Ying Baoyue looked at the light on the tree trunk in front of her and fell silent.

"Embracing the moon?"

Sensing the silence on the other side, Li Ji's heart skipped a beat, and his tone became anxious, "Is the injury serious?"

Ying Baoyue shook her head. She glanced at the wounds on her body that had healed a lot, smiled and said, "It's just a few scratches, but it's all healed."

Li Ji still wanted to ask, but Ying Baoyue clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, "Li Ji, I have something more important to tell you."

Li Ji was stunned, "What's the matter?"

Ying Baoyue said softly, "Li Ji, I have drawn the Juque Sword."

Standing under the tree, Li Ji's eyes were in a daze for a moment, and the whirling sound of the leaves in the night wind seemed to grow louder in an instant.

His voice was a little dry, "Really? You pulled it out."

Ying Baoyue frowned slightly, with a dissatisfied tone, "You don't seem very surprised."

When Li Ji heard her voice, the feeling of trance in his mind became stronger.

In his memory, Ying Baoyue never seemed to have spoken to him in this tone.

"No, I'm surprised," Li Ji took a deep breath, trying to keep his breathing steady, "It's amazing to be able to pull out that sword at the fourth level. But..."

"But what?"

Ying Baoyue frowned even tighter.

Li Ji let out a deep breath and said softly, "But I always thought that you can do it."

Throwing the Juque Sword to her back then was indeed a helpless act out of desperation.According to common sense, earth-level practitioners cannot pull out that sword at all.But when he threw the sword to her, he hoped that the sword could protect her instead of him, and at the same time, he had a strong premonition in his heart.

If it was Ying Baoyue, she might be able to draw the sword.

As it turns out, she really did.

Li Ji clenched the hilt of the Sunset Sword by his waist, feeling the blood flowing through his body a little faster.

For a swordsman, the saber is equivalent to another body and soul of her own. Ying Baoyue pulled out the sword, which also meant that she understood a part of him in a sense.

Hearing Li Ji's words, Ying Baoyue was startled.

The unspeakable feelings that had been in her heart before disappeared in an instant.

"Really?" She lowered her head slightly, not knowing what to say, "Thank you for lending me the sword."

"It's nothing," Li Ji shook his head, he closed his eyes, only hated that he couldn't be by her side at this moment.

"Hold the moon," he finally said what he couldn't say.

"You protect yourself these days."

"Well, I know," Ying Baoyue smiled, "you too, if you feel bored, go out for a walk."

They'll be out for a walk soon.

Li Ji stared at the tree trunk in front of him.

Without Ying Baoyue's knowledge, he was about to set off to meet her.
