It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Early the next morning, Bi Lin called Jiang Simian early.

How early is it? Even before the rooster crows.

Jiang Simian yawned and followed Bi Lin with his head down.

He was so confused that he didn't know how far he had gone or where he had gone. He couldn't even remember that he was walking. He thought he was dreaming until he bumped into Bi Lin's back.

After getting a big eye roll, Jiang Simian's brain was not much clearer. He even slapped Bi Lin hard on the back and said, "In my dream, you are so awesome that I can't beat you to death."

Bi Lin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He stretched out his hand and placed it between Jiang Simian's eyebrows, and the latter was shocked.

Jiang Simian only felt a lightning strike on his body, and he woke up with a jolt.

The good news at this moment is that Jiang Simian is finally fully conscious. The bad news is that he is too conscious.

She clearly remembered how she used what she thought was a dream to utter arrogant words.

Suddenly there was only a wry smile on his face, and he looked like he didn't know anything.

Looking at Bi Lin with confusion, "What happened just now?"

Bi Lin took a deep breath and decided not to be on the same level as her. Competing with her would only lower his level.

After greeting each other, the two continued walking forward.

Only then did Jiang Simian realize that the two of them had arrived at the outer edge of a forest, and the entire forest was shrouded in mist. Even if they walked into the forest, the visible range was no more than one meter, almost in darkness. walk.

And unlike the forest in the Lotus Secret Realm, Jiang Simian knew clearly that it was just a place to create illusions, but this place was completely unknown to Jiang Simian.

And for some reason, from the first step into this forest, Jiang Simian felt an unknown sense of panic slowly invade her body, and all her hairs stood on end.

She followed Bi Lin closely, fearing that she would lose a step.

But it was obvious that Bi Lin was completely different from her. Walking in this forest was like walking in the backyard of his own home, striding forward.

Gradually, Jiang Simian lost strength and was about to distance himself from Bi Lin.

She reached out and grabbed the hem of Bi Lin's clothes.

When Bi Lin turned around, he lowered his head and said, "Can you walk slower? I can't keep up."

"Useless thing", Bi Lin's merciless voice of disgust came from above his head.

But even so, Bi Lin slowed down and did not knock off Jiang Simian's hand that had been tugging at the hem of his clothes.

From the moment she entered this dark forest, Jiang Simian no longer knew the time or even the morning or evening. She felt that the forest was like a monster with its mouth wide open, ready to devour her at any time.

After walking for who knows how long, the two stopped in front of a cave.

Waves of cold wind came from the cave from time to time, and the dark entrance seemed to be waiting for the prey that came to the mouth.

Seeing that Bi Lin was about to go in without thinking, Jiang Simian grabbed him fiercely, crying and begging with fear on his face, "Boss, please don't worry, why don't you think about it again."

Bi Lin gave her a helpless eye roll. He suddenly felt that he had rolled his eyes more recently than he had in all his years of life. "Don't worry, there's nothing here. I'm just here to get back the things I stored here before." Seeing that Jiang Simian was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble, Bi Lin gave a rare and kind explanation.

Jiang Simian is about to cry. If you want to take this thing, you can take it. It's not enough for me to wait at the door. If you bring me in, don't you just bring an oil bottle? This is a decision that harms others but does not benefit yourself.

Bi Lin saw her thoughts, "Let you come in and you will be of use."

Jiang Simian was really about to cry. Who would believe you if you said that this eldest brother can't read minds?

Jiang Simian, who carefully hid behind Bi Lin and snooped around furtively from time to time, finally followed Bi Lin to the end of the cave.

At the end of the cave, as Bi Lin said, there was only one thing, and it was obvious that someone had placed it there.

Jiang Simian, who was blocked by Bi Lin, couldn't see clearly what the specific object was. He could only see that it was emitting a faint red light.

Jiang Simian couldn't help but poke his head to take a look, and then involuntarily let out a sound of admiration in his heart.

This is too awesome.

What was in front of him was a perfect oval-shaped pigeon's blood red ruby. At least in his previous life, Jiang Simian had never seen or heard of such a perfect ruby, whether on TV or in a museum.

"come over"

Bi Lin did not pick up the ruby, but called Jiang Simian over.

The latter walked over with a confused look on his face.

Bi Lin pointed at the gem and said, "Drip blood."

Jiang Simian was even more confused. What did bleeding mean? Her first reaction was to shed blood to identify the owner. It’s no wonder that she had read too many novels, but let’s just say, who would you identify as the owner of a ruby?

The second reaction was blood sacrifice. It’s no wonder that she read too many novels. Those red things might have sucked blood.

Bi Lin was speechless to her. He didn't need to be a smart person. If you just find someone here right now, he would be able to see the hidden intentions on Jiang Simian's face, let alone someone as smart as himself. people.

He grabbed Jiang Simian's hand, and he didn't know when he took a knife.

Just when Jiang Simian thought I was about to die, he only felt a pain in his fingertips, but it was very slight, like being pricked by a needle. Then he opened his eyes and saw that a small drop of blood appeared on his fingertips. Bi Lin wiped the drop of her blood on the ruby.

The blood was absorbed in an instant, and then Bi Lin gave it to himself again, and also wiped the blood beads on it, and the blood was also absorbed.

Then Bi Lin put away the ruby ​​with satisfaction.

Looking back, he saw Jiang Simian looking at him with an indescribable look.

But as smart as Bi Lin, it only takes one glance to break the defense.

"With that look in your eyes, you don't think I've fallen in love with you, do you? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. I did this for a reason, and it's not to do this or that with you."

Jiang Simian took a deep breath and felt relieved. At first, when she saw Bi Lin's behavior, she really thought that she was engaged to him without knowing it, but now Bi Lin said Jiang Simian believed it, because this guy's self-esteem would never allow him to lie.

Although Jiang Simian was relieved, Bi Lin was dissatisfied.

What's the matter, you're looking down on yourself. You just said that's not the case. What do you mean by being angry?
Let me ask you what does this mean?
My own face! Such a figure! This identity! Matches your face!
Jiang Simian watched as Bi Lin's expression kept changing, thinking that he was really a moody guy.
