My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 154: The Taste of the Ghost Market (Page 13)

I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Liu Ruyan's fiery eyes, Lin Qingxue's probing gaze, and Wang Ergou's silly look were all lingering in my mind.

Alas, it has been almost a year since I traveled to this world. I went from being a loser who wanted to die to what I am now... How should I put it, I am still a loser, but I have a few more beautiful girls around me.

I sat up in bed and sighed. I was a little hungry. I had been so busy chatting with them that I hadn't eaten much.

I walked to the table, picked up the remaining half pot of wine, poured myself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Gulp gulp..." The wine flowed down his throat, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

I picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised beef, put it in my mouth, and chewed it slowly.

This braised beef tastes really good, fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth.

I was eating braised beef with soy sauce while thinking about my worries.

Lin Qingxue's attitude towards me became more and more strange. She seemed to have noticed some secrets about me, but she did not point them out directly. Instead, she chose to observe me silently.

Liu Ruyan was as passionate and unrestrained as ever. Her interest in me became more and more intense, even to the point of being a little unscrupulous.

These two women, one like an iceberg and the other like a flame, are both elusive to me.

I picked up a piece of chicken, put it in my mouth, chewed it a few times, and spit out a bone.

With a "crack", the bone fell on the table, making a crisp sound.

I raised my head and looked towards the screen.

Lin Qingxue should be asleep already.

I shook my head and finished the remaining food and wine.

Then I walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the night outside.

The moon is very round tonight, and the moonlight shines on the ground like a layer of silver frost.

I took a deep breath and felt the cool night breeze.

Suddenly, I heard light footsteps outside the door.

My heart moved. Could it be Lin Qingxue?

I walked to the door and opened it gently.

There was a tall man standing outside the door. He was wearing a black nightgown and a veil on his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

I was startled and took a step back, asking, "Who are you?"

The man in black didn't say anything, but attacked me quickly.

I quickly dodged and the black-clad man's attack missed and hit the door frame with a loud "bang".

I looked closely and found that the man in black was holding a sharp dagger in his hand, shining with cold light.

I thought to myself, this man in black is obviously here to kill me.

I quickly drew out my wooden sword to block the attack of the man in black.

"Ding ding dang dang..." The wooden sword and dagger collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

The man in black was very skilled in martial arts and his moves were deadly. I could only barely defend myself.

While I was fending off the attacks from the man in black, I was thinking about his identity.

Who sent the killer?

Were they the ghosts of the Ghost Market? Or Liu Ruyan's enemies? Or someone else?

I couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Seeing that he couldn't take the city after a long attack, the man in black had a flash of impatience in his eyes.

She suddenly changed her moves, and the dagger turned into a cold light and pierced my chest.

I couldn't dodge in time and the dagger cut a wound on my chest, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Ah!" I screamed in pain, took a few steps back and covered the wound.

The man in black took advantage of the victory and attacked me again.

I feel exhausted and can't hold on any longer.

At this moment, a white light flashed and Lin Qingxue appeared in front of me.

She held an ice-blue sword in her hand and blocked the attack of the man in black.

With a "ding" sound, the dagger and the sword collided with each other, sparks flying everywhere.

Lin Qingxue looked at the man in black coldly and said, "Who are you?

Why did you kill him?"

The man in black did not say anything, but attacked Lin Qingxue again.

Lin Qingxue brandished his sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the man in black.

Lin Qingxue's long sword danced so tightly and tightly that the sword energy was so overwhelming that the man in black could not get close to her for a while.

I covered my chest and watched the two of them fighting, feeling extremely anxious.

Although Lin Qingxue is powerful, the man in black is not weak either, and it is difficult to determine the winner between the two for a while.

I was worried that Lin Qingxue might get hurt, so I quickly shouted, "Lin Qingxue, be careful!"

When Lin Qingxue heard my voice, she turned her head slightly and looked at me, her eyes full of concern.

It was during this moment of distraction that the man in black found his opportunity and stabbed Lin Qingxue's shoulder with the dagger.

"Be careful!" I shouted again.

Lin Qingxue reacted quickly and dodged the dagger by turning sideways, but her shoulder was still cut and blood oozed out.

"Lin Qingxue!" My heart tightened and I rushed over.

When the man in black saw me rushing towards him, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he turned the dagger and stabbed it towards my heart.

At the critical moment, a red light flashed, and Liu Ruyan appeared in front of me, blocking the dagger with the red folding fan in her hand.

With a "ding" sound, the dagger and the folding fan collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Liu Ruyan looked at the man in black with a seductive look, but her tone was cold: "Miss, you are so cruel, are you trying to kill me?"

The man in black did not say anything, but attacked Liu Ruyan again.

Liu Ruyan waved her folding fan and fought fiercely with the man in black.

Her folding fan may seem thin, but it contains great power, and every time she waves it, it brings with it a sharp gust of wind.

The man in black was forced to retreat again and again by Liu Ruyan's attack and was on the verge of defeat.

Suddenly, the man in black let out a sharp scream, and his body turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared in the room.

"Run away?" Liu Ruyan looked at the empty room with a frown.

Lin Qingxue walked over to me and asked with concern: "Chen Yu, are you okay?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm fine, just a minor injury."

I looked at Lin Qingxue's shoulder and said, "How is your injury?"

Lin Qingxue looked at her shoulder and said, "It's nothing serious, just a superficial injury."

Liu Ruyan walked up to us and said with a smile, "My little rascal, it seems you are not destined to die. Two beauties risked their lives to save you."

I rolled my eyes at her and said, "Liu Ruyan, stop making sarcastic remarks here."

Liu Ruyan giggled and said nothing.

Lin Qingxue looked at me, her eyes full of doubt: "Chen Yu, who is this man in black?

Why should I kill you? "

I shook my head and said, "I don't know either."

I secretly guessed that this man in black might be a killer sent by the Ghost Market.

It seems that I have to improve my strength as soon as possible in order to survive in this dangerous world.

I looked at Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan, my heart filled with gratitude.

These two women, one is cold and noble, the other is passionate and unrestrained, both have special feelings for me.

I don't know how to deal with my relationship with them, but I know clearly that they are important people in my life.

I took a deep breath and said, "Let's take care of the wound first."

Lin Qingxue nodded, took out a bottle of medicine powder from her arms and handed it to me: "This is the powder to stop bleeding, apply it on the wound."

I took the powder, thanked him, and applied it to the wound.

A cool feeling came over me, and the pain in the wound was relieved a lot.

Lin Qingxue also applied the powder on herself.

Liu Ruyan looked at us and said with a smile, "My little rascal, you are so lucky to have two beauties healing you."

I glared at her and said, "Liu Ruyan, could you please stop talking?"

Liu Ruyan giggled and said nothing.

The three of us sat in the room for a while, each thinking about our own things.

"Knock knock knock..." There was a sudden knock on the door, breaking the silence in the room.

I walked over and opened the door, and found the inn's proprietress standing outside, a plump, charming middle-aged woman.

She was holding a tray with several plates of snacks and a pot of tea.

"Dear guests, these are the snacks and tea provided by our restaurant. Please enjoy them."

The proprietress said with a smile.

I took the tray, thanked her, and invited the proprietress into the room.

The proprietress placed snacks and tea on the table, then said with a smile, "Dear guests, I see that you don't look well. Has something happened?"

I shook my head and said, "Nothing, just a little tired."

The proprietress looked at the wound on my chest, then at the wound on Lin Qingxue's shoulder, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Dear guests, I think you should go to bed early. We can talk about anything tomorrow."

The landlady said.

I nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam Boss."

The proprietress smiled and nodded, then turned and left the room.

I closed the door, walked to the table, and distributed snacks and tea to Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan.

"Come, let's eat something to calm down," I said.

Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan nodded, picked up the snacks and started eating.

I poured myself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

The aroma of tea is overflowing and refreshing.

I looked at Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan, and my heart was filled with warmth.

It’s great to have them around.

I finished my tea, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest."

Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan also stood up.

"Chen Yu, you sleep on the bed. Liu Ruyan and I will sleep on the floor." Lin Qingxue said.

I shook my head and said, "No, I'll just sleep on the floor."

"No, you are injured and need to rest well." Lin Qingxue insisted.

Liu Ruyan also said, "Yes, my dear, just listen to Fairy Qingxue's words."

I couldn't resist them, so I agreed to sleep on the bed.

Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan spread the bedding on the floor and then lay down.

I walked to the bed, took off my shoes and lay down on it.

The room fell silent, with only the sounds of our three breathing.

I closed my eyes, but the figure of the man in black still appeared in my mind.

Who is this man in black? Why does he want to kill me?

This question bothered me and kept me awake.

I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The masked face of the man in black, those murderous eyes, lingered in my mind.

Who was she? Why did she want to kill me? I was completely baffled.

The soft voices of Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan could be heard from next door, as if they were chatting because they couldn't sleep.

I pricked up my ears to listen to what they were saying.

"Fairy Qingxue, who do you think sent this man in black?" Liu Ruyan's voice was a little lazy.

"I don't know," Lin Qingxue's voice remained cold, "but I seem to have seen her martial arts skills somewhere before."

"Oh? Where have you seen me? Tell me about it." Liu Ruyan's tone was full of curiosity.
