Chapter 37 Midnight Bride

Ruan Zhan is still missing all day long, while Xiao Xia is like protecting the most precious treasure in her life, staying by the side of Wanli who is still unconscious!

She lay on the bed every few minutes to see him, hoping that a miracle would happen, but after waiting for a midnight and a day, she realized that not only did not appear, but Wanli's breathing became weaker and weaker, sometimes intermittently. Several times she could hardly hear his breathing, and her legs became weaker and thought he was dead.

It was all dark, and it was already nine o'clock when the watch was still there, and there were three hours left before the deadline for thousands of miles, which made Xiao Xia feel so anxious that he almost collapsed!

What is more sad than this? Seeing the person who is particularly important to you approaching death little by little, but you are powerless and can only stay aside and watch desperately, fearing!

"I'm here to pick up the bride!" A voice came.

After a series of tossing, Xiao Xia was no longer so scared, but the sound was too sudden, which surprised her. As soon as she looked up, she saw the black cat appearing at the window at some point, squatting there leisurely, looking at her mockingly!

"Will I definitely go?" Xiao Xia asked angrily.

“那就看着他死吧!”

The gloating in his tone made Xiao Xia angry. Without thinking, he reached out to grab the candlestick beside the table, aimed at the black cat and threw it over, forgetting that the candle was still on it. A fire flashed by, and the black cat screamed in a frightening voice, and jumped to a chair by the window, but the candlestick fell directly downstairs!

The room was immediately pitch black, only the pair of green cat eyes hung in the air, staring at Xiao Xia fiercely!

Xiao Xia also stared at the pair of cat eyes, trying his best to appear braver. Ruan Zhan once said that although this black cat is evil in nature, it is not a cat demon. It speaks human words, and someone's expression is because it is controlled by a master of Gu behind it, expressing the meaning of that person. When it says that person's words, what it sees in its eyes will also be conveyed to that person.

It is only equivalent to a tool, but it is more powerful than many high-tech products today. In addition, it may be used to refine the invisible Gu that kills people. However, this one seems to be skilled in cooperating with the person behind it, as if he can understand human words. Maybe it has been a commander for many years, so it will probably not be used to refine Gu poison.

"Meow--" The unexpected attack made the black cat a little angry, and the evil cat's nature was stimulated. After Xiao Xia had adapted to the darkness, she saw the black cat arching up with the moonlight and pretending to pounce on her.

"Do you still want to be punished?" Xiao Xia looked at the black cat contemptuously and said in a rash manner according to her own guess. Unexpectedly, she really shocked it. "Last time you didn't listen to your master and wanted to dig my eyes. Didn't you force him to hide and run out? What was the result? What kind of torture did you suffer? If you are not afraid, do it again!"

"Meow--" the black cat screamed again, but this time the scream was filled with frustration and unwillingness.

"Get away! I'm going to change my wedding dress. If I find you peeking, it will dig out your eyes!" Xiao Xia vented her helpless anger on this ferocious and hateful black cat.

The black cat wandered around the ground for a while, and seemed to be angry with Xiao Xia, but hesitated for a long time and did not dare to act rashly.

It leaped onto the windowsill lightly, turned around and looked at Xiaoxia, and suddenly smiled, "Come on!" It said, then jumped to the first floor after three or two, squatting at the door of the octagonal building and waiting quietly.

Humans are the only animal in the world that can laugh!

Xiaoxia suddenly remembered this sentence for some reason. Perhaps it was because the black cat's smile was so weird and gloomy that it made people feel chilled all over.

She slowly walked to the edge of the bed, reached out to stroke Wanli's face, restraining herself from crying.

"I hope I can save you!" she murmured to herself, deciding to make her last effort to save him.

Wanli was silent without a trace of reaction, but his breathing became a little short of a sudden, as if he had all kinds of feelings, but he was suffering from being unable to move or say.

"But you want to raise me for my parents!" Xiao Xia said with a forced smile, and then stood up resolutely. Wanli has not had much time left, and now is not the time for mother-in-law and mother.

She wiped her eyes, bent over and took out the bag of wedding dress from under the bed, and then found a candle to light it. The candlestick was thrown down by her, so she had to fix the candle on the table with the candle tears.

In the afternoon, she hid her wedding dress from downstairs to upstairs. She hoped she wouldn't use it, but now it seems that she can't hide it.

She shook her head, shook all the bad consciousness in her heart, and then quickly changed her clothes, while also being wary of whether anyone peeped. However, the clothing of ethnic minorities was too complicated for her, and she couldn't wear it well even on the left and right, which made her sweat so much that she was sweating.

She stood at the table and stood up the bronze mirror that had been retracted, trying to put on her clothes in front of the mirror. But she saw her face slightly red due to anxiety in the mirror, and her head felt numb, and then her movements were no longer controlled by her brain.

What's wrong with this?

She didn't know. She only knew that her brain was very clear, could see and feel it, but she could not command her body anymore. It was like being trapped by a nightmare in sleep, or it was like being pressed against a ghost. Anyway, her consciousness was very active but her body was suppressed. But she was obviously awake, and it could not be said that her body was suppressed, because "she" was moving, but she was just being directed by invisible power, not out of her own wishes.

In the mirror, "Xiao Xia" slowly took off her messy wedding dress again, revealing her beautiful body with only underwear.

Her figure is great, not like the pear-shaped figure that is thin and fat on the top and bottom, with flat breasts on a typical Asian woman, but is full and well-proportioned, sexy and seductive, and will make any man bleed when he sees it.

At this moment, she stood in front of the mirror, as if she was admiring herself, but her face was filled with shock, uneasiness, and even horror. She couldn't do other moves, but her eyes were moving around, afraid of meeting some perverted pervert.

Fortunately, her half-bearing situation did not last long, because 'her hand' put on the wedding dress again, starting from the innermost layer, which made her realize that she had worn the wrong clothes at the beginning, no wonder she couldn't organize it well!

A few minutes later, she had torn and had not worn her clothes for a long time and it was wrapped around her body smoothly. Then the complex silver jewelry was worn, and finally even the pair of embroidered shoes were automatically put on her feet. Her right foot was swollen because of the injury. Now she didn't feel squeezed when she put on her shoes. Everything was perfect and suitable, as if this wedding dress was prepared for her, and she had been waiting for this moment many years ago!

She couldn't help but move and approached the bronze mirror.

In the bronze mirror, the shadow of an ethnic minority bride immediately appeared. Her already delicate and delicate facial features looked even more beautiful and cute against the reflection of candlelight and the wedding dress. "She" gently stroked her face, as if she was very satisfied with her appearance, and she smiled happily.

Xiao Xia couldn't even control the muscles on her face. Seeing the sweet look of "myself" looking forward to the future, in a hurry, hallucinations appeared in her mind again -

"Anan, this is love medicine. I don't want to force you, I want you to make your own decisions." A young woman said, holding a small blue porcelain bottle in her fair and small hands.

Xiaoxia recognized this woman as the woman dancing inside when she had hallucinations on the edge of the altar yesterday.

A man's hand stretched out beside the woman and took the porcelain bottle without hesitation.

"No, Anan, you have to think clearly. I'll find a way to show your appearance, but unfortunately I can only be at night, which is the same as a medicine ghost. Moreover, I don't want your reward. If you can't love me, please leave."

The man named Anan didn't say anything, but just raised the bottle and showed his attitude with his actions.

The woman stopped him again, hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a black porcelain bottle from her arms, sighed, "This is left by my master. I don't know the recipe, only this bottle. I will hold it for you today, and you must keep it well. If you don't love me one day, just stamp the black cat's claws and dip them in the powder and eat them, you will be able to relieve the "love medicine" Gu and will not be punished for changing your mind."

"You should keep it, I don't need it." Anan finally spoke, "I will always be with you, regardless of life or death."

Xiao Xia didn't recognize Anan's voice, but she felt very familiar. She just felt that something seemed to be blocked in her mind, and all kinds of information were not connected together.

"Always be with me, regardless of life or death!" the woman murmured, looking sad and happy.

Instead of taking back the medicine, she put it in a hidden secret lattice in the middle of the altar, then poured a bowl of water and handed it to Anan. Anan poured the powder from the blue porcelain bottle into her mouth, took a sip of water, and swallowed it all into her stomach.

"Abai, I will always be with you, regardless of life or death!" Anan swore again, then turned around.

For a moment, Xiaoxia was a little disappointed. She once thought that Anan would be someone she knew, but unfortunately she was not. His face was very strange, not very young, but she was an absolute handsome man!

"Meow--" A cat's meow came, which seemed particularly shrill and harsh in the darkness.

Xiao Xia was shocked and suddenly realized that the hallucinations had disappeared and her body returned to the situation where her brain was freely controlled.

She returned to the bed again, first tied a waist bag around her waist, and then hesitated how to place the Blood Wood Sword.

She will certainly be safer if she is with her, but if the other party is not a soul body but a human, the Blood Wood Sword may be taken away and destroyed. This sword is not only a relic of Ruan Zhan’s father, but also a very useful weapon for him. It must be protected with a focus; and if the sword is left, although no evil thing dares to touch it, it will be bad if it is stolen!

Anxious, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind and suddenly she thought of a place - the scene that appeared in the hallucination, the dark square in the middle of the altar.

She still remembers the technique of opening the dark square. As long as this illusion is a reaction in the real world, it is not just an illusion, but the Blood Wood Sword can be safely hidden.

She hurried to the second floor and carefully felt the surroundings with her always keen feeling. She confirmed that she had not been peeped at, and then she came to the dark wall.

According to the technique of a woman named Abai in the hallucination, Xiao Xia did it nervously, then held her breath and waited for almost five seconds before a dull sound of "click" came, and the secret wall slowly opened.

It turns out that this hallucination is really a reappearance of what happened before! It doesn't just appear in her mind. But is this what happened many years ago? What does it have to do with what they are currently facing? What does that young woman Abai want to tell her?

The unexpected, but expected feelings mixed together, made Xiao Xia stunned for a few seconds, but she realized that it was not the time for her to think, so she quickly put the Blood Wood Sword into the dark grid and restored the altar to its original state.

"Meow--" Another cat moan came, with a urgency.

Xiao Xia was shocked, as if the person who had just done something bad was afraid of being caught, hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked downstairs.

Downstairs, the black cat was impatient when he saw Xiaoxia walking downstairs, and turned around and crawled into the dense forest. Xiaoxia knew that it was guiding the way, and did not say much, followed closely behind it. This time, Xiaoxia knew that it would bring her to the "groom", so she was not afraid of losing it, and she didn't have to run and climb like last time.

Besides, with her current foot injury, she couldn't run away, so she could only limp and followed behind.

In the quiet dense forest, except for the chirping of insects and the occasional animal roar, she could only hear her footsteps.

One light one heavy, one heavy one light one -

As she walked, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Because her footsteps were no longer simple, although they were still sounding lightly and heavy, and there was no extra step or a single step missing, it seemed like there were repeated chapters. If you listen carefully, you would find that there were extremely slight intervals.

Xiao Xia suddenly turned her head, there was nothing behind her, and the voice stopped.

She continued to walk, and the steps of almost the same frequency as her were still there, as if something was following her, she walked and it was gone, she stopped and she stopped!

This made Xiao Xia feel a little guilty, feeling like an innocent sacrifice. Before being sent to the altar, there were countless ferocious demons waiting to intercept and kill halfway!

She continued to listen to her while walking, feeling as she walked deeper into the dense forest, the louder the light and heavier footsteps sounded, as if there were more and more things following her, getting closer and closer to her!

She slowed down and seized the opportunity to turn around quickly again!

This time, she finally saw what was behind her - it was not anything with tangible shapes, just a bunch of bright ghost fires, flashing with orchid light. Although it was fluctuating, it was lined up behind her, with each being about five meters apart. It was impossible to see where it was dragged in the darkness, and I just felt that it had stretched far away!

"When you get married, there must be a team to send off your bride!" A voice suddenly rang in her ear. She couldn't see the person talking, but could feel the cold air he blew on her face. That is to say that thing is very close to her, but she knew nothing!

She jumped back and danced with her hands, but only hit the air!

Grim laughter sounded one by one, rising and falling. At first glance, the ghost fire also jumped continuously, as if mocking her for her futile actions.

Is this a marriage gift?

It was obviously a funeral!
Chapter completed!
