deadly mantra

Chapter 14 To save, or not to save?

Givenchy’s smiling reminder:
"Be careful. This is a real abyss. If you step back even half a step and fall from here without any preparation, you will die an ugly death."

Shao Xiaojian’s angry voice was shrill and hoarse:

"Then you still let me dance!"

Ji Fanyin smiled and said:
"I've already told you, so I'm not unprepared."

The corners of Shao Xiaojian's mouth twitched and he said angrily:

"What difference does it make if you tell me or not!"

"For you, there is no difference. For me, the difference is that if I fall under the circumstances I tell you, your chance of surviving is [-] out of [-]."

Shao Xiaojian's face turned red and his neck was thick with anger, but he just didn't curse:
"How did you calculate that two!"

Ji Fanyinyu pointed to her head and smiled leisurely:
"Here. Shao Xiaojian, as strong as your desire to survive and explosive power are, use as much ability as you can to survive. Three days later, I will wait for you at the Lotus Viewing Festival in Qiushuicheng. As long as you can hold on until then, I can promise you. From now on, no matter it is Jiangyuan or Death Valley, no one can make things difficult for you anymore."

Shao Xiaojian sneered:
"Why should I trust you?"

Givenchy's smile revealed an evil domineering air:
"Just let me let you go again and again."

Shao Xiaojian's face suddenly stiffened.

No matter how stupid he was, Shao Xiaojian, he should understand by now that the reason why he was able to escape Jiang Yuan's pursuit time and time again was not because of luck, but because of... her.

It was she who always let him live at the last moment.

Thinking of this, Shao Xiaojian clenched his fists and said angrily:

"Aren't you the helper Jiang Yuan invited? Why do you want to help me?"

"help you?"

Ji Fanyin laughed as if he had heard a big joke: "Shao Xiaojian, Shao Xiaojian, you still claim to be the best thief in the world. Don't you understand it by now?"

Shao Xiaojian trembled uneasily:

"See what?"

Ji Fanyin pointed her jade finger at herself, and said with a smile:

"I'm not a good person."

"..."

Shao Xiaojian's cheeks darkened, and he felt like he had been tricked.

At this time.

"Boom-" sound.

The entire mountain shook violently, and explosions came from the direction of the Oracle Temple.

In an instant, thick billows of smoke rushed into the sky, and the fire was dazzling.

Ji Fanyin frowned slightly, then relaxed.

The next second, she glanced at the waterfall directly opposite.

It seemed like someone was there.

Shao Xiaojian subconsciously made a defensive move, turned around, and faced the waterfall.

A treacherous smile spread widely from the corner of Ji Fanyin's mouth.

She quickly ran over and kicked Shao Xiaojian on the butt.

Hum hum, little boy, come on down!
"Wow--"

An unexpected kick.

The moment his body fell down, an astonishing desire to survive exploded in Shao Xiaojian's body.

He flapped his arms desperately, and almost managed to stabilize his unbalanced body.

"Ha!" Shao Xiaojian laughed proudly, turned his head, and his smile gradually disappeared.

behind.

Ji Fanyin let out a bad laugh. Under Shao Xiaojian's astonished eyes, he slowly turned his right foot and slowly stepped on Shao Xiaojian's butt.

Now, all she needs to do is kick forward gently.

The abyss is the only destination for him, Shao Xiaojian.

"You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you dare, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, the, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you!" Shao Xiaojian, his face turned red and his neck was thick with anxiety, and his eyes widened in horror.

Ji Fanyin admired Shao Xiaojian's rich expression, smiled and waved her little hand:
"Qiu Shuicheng, I'm waiting for you."

"Don't! Auntie, don't!"

"You are my aunt, I haven't even celebrated my 14th birthday yet."

Shao Xiaojian gritted his teeth and choked out the last sentence:
"I'm a ghost and I won't let you go..."

"When you are alive, you are no match for me. As a ghost, you can only be defeated by my subordinates. Idiot."

Ji Fanyin sneered proudly and kicked Shao Xiaojian hard on the butt.Just listen, "Ah!", a short scream, which was soon drowned out by the rumbling sound of the waterfall.

Ji Fanyin walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and whispered:
"You are born as a human and become a ghost after death. If you fall from here, you will not die at all. How can you become a ghost? You are such a big fool. There is a deep pool below."

Suddenly remembering something, Ji Fanyin touched his chin thoughtfully.

eh?

Forget investigating whether he can swim.

Ji Fanyin stuck out her tongue apologetically.

Well, anyway, that’s it.

He wished for luck.

Ji Fanyin took out the small flying wings in his sleeve and planned to leave.

Suddenly, an all too familiar embarrassed figure stumbled into her sight.

On the lower left side of the cliff, there is a path hidden in the shade.

Shui Qingchen looked panicked, covering his injured and bleeding left arm with his right hand, and ran forward desperately.

Several men dressed as officers and soldiers, with black pythons tattooed on their necks, raised their machetes high and shouted:

"Yan Xiu abused his power for personal gain, took bribes and perverted the law, causing harm to the country and the people! Now that God is wrathful, His Majesty will act in accordance with the destiny of Heaven. Yan Xiu's entire party will be killed without mercy! No one will be spared!"

Rebel?

Wrath from heaven?

I bet these people are not here for her.

Ji Fanyin stood on a high place, leisurely watching the fire from across the bank.

Although Shui Qingchen is pretty and delicious, it happens to be her favorite bowl of dinner.However, hoeing the strong, supporting the weak, and rescuing people from danger are things that only heroes can do.

Obviously, she is not.

under the cliff.

Shui Qingchen lost his sight not long ago and has not yet adapted to the inconveniences caused by darkness.Now he was being chased again and was seriously injured. In his panic, he didn't care about choosing a path and kept running forward.

Howling cold arrows shot out from the green forest.

Just an inch away from the back of Shui Qingchen's head, his foot stepped on a wet stone and his body fell forward uncontrollably.

The cold arrow hit the ground.

"call out--"

Another arrow hit a century-old pine tree that Shui Qingchen had brushed against.

The pine needles instantly turned yellow and fell off the branches.

Are arrows poisonous?

This discovery made Ji Fanyin frown slightly.

"what…"

Shui Qingchen's exclamation brought Ji Fanyin back from his thoughts.

I saw that as soon as he stabilized his staggering body, he continued to run forward.

Directly in front, there was an observation deck without fences, seven or eight meters away, quietly waiting for Shui Qingchen, who was desperate.

six meters.

five meters...

He ran faster and faster.

Shui Qingchen is not Shao Xiaojian.

His eyes could not see the dangerous cliff lurking ahead.

There are deep pools under the cliff, hard rocks, and undercurrents.

If he fell from there without any precautions, he would have no chance of surviving.

Three meters...

"Wha—" The deadly arrow shot out of the jungle again.

The wolf is ahead and the tiger is behind, and there is no way out.

Shui Qingchen has no way to hide, no way to escape.

Ji Fanyin's originally playful gaze became extremely solemn without even realizing it.The movement of touching his chin also stopped due to inner tension and worry.

Yesterday under the setting sun, that short-lived warm smile appeared in Ji Fanyin's mind at this moment.
