Chapter 240 It’s time to go to the appointment

"What are you afraid of?" Qin Lin was confused.

For some reason, his heart began to beat harder than usual.

The ghost energy of the reincarnation disc between the eyebrows started to stir up at an inappropriate time at this time.

Logically speaking, a man's intuition would not be so obvious, and he had never experienced such a situation.

But when Xiao Yu said that he was afraid, Qin Lin felt very strange, as if he was instantly enveloped by the other person's perception.

He looked at the black round tower and the thick haze that shrouded it.

In his eyes, Xiao Yu, dressed in red, stood in front of the tower, like a flower that could be illuminated at any time, so he couldn't help but rush forward and take her in the palm of his hand.

Xiao Yu also subconsciously squeezed Qin Lin's hand to convey his feelings.

"This round tower seems different from before, but I can't tell what is different. It's like... it has become alive." She looked there and said without looking back.

"The ghost energy of the reincarnation disk in the center of my eyebrows seems to be a little strange today, and it keeps beating. To be honest, since I learned that you were involved in the Nightmare Demon Festival, you were in the tower at that time, and I could clearly see it outside. I sensed that you were inside, but I couldn't get in no matter what. In desperation, I went to find the master, but what do you think the old man said?"

After Qin Lin finished speaking, he turned his face sideways with a wry smile, but Xiao Yu could see that it was a little difficult for him to smile.

Xiao Yu's red sleeves were gently placed on her lips, covering half of her face:
"Could it be that... I want you not to bother him basking in the sun?"

Her eyes were smiling beautifully, and Qin Lin could see a trace of blush crossing his face, but he shook his head.

"That was his old man's first words." He smiled miserably.

Then he said: "His old man has been very busy recently. It seems that since he entered the oasis world, he seems to be in high spirits every day, and everything he does is unpredictable. He even doesn't teach me much about magic.

I learned that you entered the Round Tower after His Highness the Demon King entered.

There was something strange about the ghosts that day. When I came back from the Endless Forest, I found that you were already inside. I couldn't get in, and I couldn't cause trouble, so I had to ask the master.He was indeed basking in the sun, every day, and even scolded me not to come if I had nothing to do. "

"He also said that if it was His Highness the Demon King who went in to save people, you would have at least half a chance of surviving."

There was light in Qin Lin's eyes. The joy of Xiao Yu's safe return was not easy to digest. He might be happy for a while.

But Xiao Yu's curiosity was aroused: "What if someone else rescues him? For example, Uncle Gui goes in personally."

But Qin Lin curled his lips and said, "I asked the same question."

"However, Master said that if he goes in, the Nightmare Demon doesn't like people from the ghost clan, and your chance of survival is probably only [-] to [-] percent. But if he takes me in again... ugh."

"Haha, you look like you have taken some bitter medicine. Your nose and eyes are all squeezed together. Could it be that what he said is: if you go in, no one will survive?"

Xiao Yu could tell that Qin Lin was feeling awkward, but she also found his pitiful and twisted expression very funny.

Qin Lin shook his head: "He said that my fate is in conflict with the Nightmare Demon, and he told me not to come near this place in the future, especially the Nightmare Demon Festival in midsummer. Although I feel baffled, he always doesn't He would lie to me."

He smiled a little reluctantly, but in the end he told the truth.

"A conflict in your life? Haha, luckily he figured it out. You are only in your twenties, and the Nightmare Demon has existed in the Demon Clan for hundreds of thousands of years, and is not even close to you. This is not a fake marriage, I'm afraid Uncle Ghost is lying to you, maybe he just wants you to calm down and not take this risk to save me."

Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and smiled a little evilly.

But these smiles gradually cooled down, because she had just been teased by Qin Lin, and she felt a little relaxed.But the haze on the black round tower suddenly became thicker.

"Xiaoyu, I've been wanting to ask, what are you afraid of?" Qin Lin looked solemn.

Xiao Yu suddenly turned around, with a wicked luster in her eyes. She stared into Qin Lin's eyes: "I'm afraid you'll lie and leave me and run away like Ran Ran!"

"Ah?" The other party was stunned, wondering if his ears heard it wrong.

His body became stiff, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked down at the man with a wicked smile.

"Ah what, Ah Lin, it's too late for you to run away now. I have an ominous feeling, I think I'm going to be unlucky." Xiao Yu sighed.

"How do you say this?" Qin Lin asked doubtfully.

"I...don't know either. I just have a feeling that it was a mistake for me to come out alive from the Nightmare Demon Festival, but if I don't find a way to come out alive, something will happen to Shuangshuang. If something happens to her and the Demon King, then Yu'er's illness may really be hopeless. It's like I'm the only one who shouldn't come out alive..."

As Xiao Yu spoke, his lips were suddenly pressed gently by a slightly cold finger.

Qin Lin didn't say anything immediately, but looked at her with a serious expression.

This may be the first time Xiao Yu has seen such a stern expression on his face.

After a while, he withdrew those gazes and his expression softened again: "We will wait until later. Now, we should go to the appointment."

"Master, help me!!!"

But at this moment, in the attic of the round tower, a voice suddenly came, shouting heartbreakingly and extremely tragically.

The two suddenly looked for the sound and found that the black round tower was above the attic. A small window was opened at some point, but it was no bigger than a head.

Xiao Yu took a closer look and saw that the window was located in an arc on the west side of the round tower. It was the attic where Mei Yu'er was.

"Shuangshuang!"

Xiao Yu shouted and quickly flew towards the round tower.

Qin Lin followed closely behind, not daring to lose any speed at all for fear of losing him at this juncture.

But no matter how fast they were, there was still some distance between them and the round tower.

Wei Chengshuang didn't even have time to shout a second time before he was dragged in.Before leaving, I struggled with one hand to dig into the window for a long time, but in the end I couldn't match the strength of the person inside.

Finally, the window closed with Wei Chengshuang's departure, as if it had never existed.

Xiao Yu was completely anxious when he saw this.She pulled Qin Lin over, her speed suddenly increased, and she rushed towards the round tower with all her strength.

She flew towards the first floor where Bai Jingyi opened the entrance every day, muttering the spell she heard from Wei Chengshuang, planning to pull Qin Lin in when the entrance opened.

As she wished, Wei Chengshuang's spell was true and useful.

An entrance did quickly appear on the first floor. Although it was not as spacious as the one opened by Bai Jingyi's parents, it was still enough for two people to enter one after another.

The familiar dim light barely squeezed out, proving that the candlelight inside was still on.

She couldn't wait to speed up, and the red figure was blurry and slender in mid-air. She planned to go in first at all costs.

But just when the two of them were about to rush into the entrance, a dark and tall figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.

The man was already there almost in the blink of an eye, leaving no room for the two of them to react.

Xiao Yu, who rushed too fast, barely managed to stop in an emergency, but still bumped into that face.

The two were so close that their noses were almost touching each other, and the rich and dangerous aroma spread into their mouths and noses through each other's breath.
