When I Abandoned the Protagonist

"People, not pets."

Su Mingxiu glanced at the stall owner, and then turned her eyes back casually, not caring what kind of weird image combination she and the two had become in the eyes of others, she just explained it by returning to sleep together one sentence.

The little apprentice gave a dull "oh", and didn't mention it anymore. Instead, he held the turtle in his hand, and the next question naturally popped up, "Then why is it? Can you be my pet?"

Su Ming flicked his sleeves, and the two of them disappeared from the lively market, leaving the stall owner holding only money and a group of children stunned to watch them disappear It took a long time for him to react in the direction he was facing, so he leaned over and bowed to that place.

Outside the city, the endless lake.

Many of the fish fry bought by her master all swam out of the long sleeves, and just listening to the sound of "plop, plop," the fish returned to the vast world in front of her eyes.

His hair is smooth, but now that he is with Su Mingxiu every day, these styles have changed a lot.

It's just that children don't know the difference between beauty and ugliness. At this moment, she was still holding the little tortoise in her hand. Seeing the big lake in front of her, Su Mingxiu thought she would foolishly release the tortoise. But I didn't expect that the little girl was whispering to the turtle to say goodbye to these fish.

—It’s a “captive” like possessiveness.

Su Mingxiu raised her eyebrows, recalling her question just now, and suddenly said, "Let's give it a name first."

"Name?"

Guimian frowned, "Isn't it called a turtle?"

"The turtle is only its race, not its name," Su Mingxiu reached out and touched her head, "It has a name, and it will be different from other turtles when it is with you in the future."

But Guimian can't think of what this turtle should be called.

Guimian nodded and said yes.

Su Mingxiu clasped her wrist, and probed the operation of the spiritual power in her body, and found that it was still the same as before, and there was no trace of demonic energy, so she simply did not take her back The inn, but went directly to the direction of Jianzong, intending to observe and observe on the road, if the situation is no different, it just happens to be able to return to Jianzong.

The little apprentice is sixteen this year and has successfully established the foundation. Su Mingxiu remembers that Jianzong and other sects will choose a secret realm to open every few years. disciples entered it. On the one hand, it can exercise the abilities of the disciples, and on the other hand, it can also promote exchanges between various factions.

Thinking that the system will kill the time card of Guimian's Foundation Establishment, Su Mingxiu can roughly guess that the opening of the secret realm of this sect must be a plot that Guimian must take as the protagonist. So mature, she even took the initiative to ask the system for the next task.

System: "…"

It couldn't understand Su Mingxiu's operation a little, and replied speechlessly, "The plot of the secret realm is an opportunity for the protagonist to grow up, and there is no need for the host to participate."

Compared to the previous world where she was easy to communicate with, the system is now strictly guarding her in all aspects, lest she know something related to Guimian's life experience.

But Elder Lingyu didn't care about it, just looked at the little apprentice next to him, and said abruptly: "Guimian, you have already established your foundation, and you just went back to participate in the foundation building disciples of the four major sects. The trip to the secret realm, I will give you the same object at that time, if you encounter anything, you can use it to contact me."

System: [? 】

It originally wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, since Guimian has successfully built the foundation in her way, and it is not far from the golden core, even if Su Mingxiu knows the identity of the young apprentice, she must Finished the final plot step by step.

For this desire to explore within the scope of human design, it decided to turn a blind eye.

Master just called me?"

"What are you thinking?"

The red rope hanging from the child's hair bun swayed gently, which was the material they used to turn the flower rope for a night in Hualiu Lane when they caught the succubus last time.

As she raised her head, the end of the red rope hung down around her neck, Su Mingxiu suddenly found that her skin became much whiter and tenderer.

I don't know if it's because she has been eating too well during this time, or because the foundation helps her wash her tendons and cut marrow.

She opened her mouth and spit out a few difficult words, which were recorded in ancient books and are now very rare medicinal materials and animals, and answered Su Mingxiu's question: "I read a book in the Zongmen's library. This book records the types of food that Xuanwu likes to eat."

"Uh..." Su Mingxiu's eyes were a little helpless, staring at the turtle in her hand, she wanted to say that this Xuanwu is not another Xuanwu.

.

Even if it is fed with ordinary medicinal herbs, it may be able to cultivate a somewhat atavistic bloodline in the future—

If you think about it this way, even if you really use this turtle as a basalt, it will be fine.

So she patiently repeated what she said earlier.

Guimian carefully wrote down every word she said this time, and her little head nodded from time to time.

The journey back to Jianzong was particularly uneven.

The swords split into sixteen pieces and floated in mid-air. Her clothes flew, and she lowered her eyes and asked lightly, "Tell me, how did you find us?"

The monster just laughed, staring at Guimian who was standing next to Su Mingxiu with particularly fearful eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Kill, kill it... kill it...monster..."

Su Mingxiu frowned slightly.

The level of this monster is too low, even people can't speak fluently, and the pronunciation is very strange. But the fear and malice of returning to sleep in this tone couldn't be more obvious.

She no longer hesitated to kill the monster with one sword, but recalling the monster's hoarse voice, she thought of something, and summoned the apprentice who was eager to rush up to kill the monster, Touching her neck with her fingertips, she asked aloud, "There is one thing I have never asked you."

"Have you been hurt here before?"

Guimian thought for a while, then shook his head.

The red rope dangled in Su Mingxiu's eyes again.

She sighed in the bottom of her heart and stopped asking. She found that the condition of Guimian was normal. In order to avoid more troubles, she decided to bring Guimian Yujian back to Jianzong.

At this moment, a strange smile appeared in the secluded place, Su Mingxiu's eyes changed, and he pulled Guimian behind him, his dark eyes showed killing intent, and his spiritual sense locked the person who came. In the direction, I saw a black shadow under a nearby stone twisting invisible.

"A reminder to you, a decent guy—"

"It's best to kill your apprentice now, so as not to make a big mistake and raise tigers."

Nailed, there was a bit of surprise in his voice: "This is a sword that can calm the soul... Duckweed sword? Are you from the sword sect surnamed Su?"

This monster originally planned to attack in the dark, but found that the strength of the person who came was not bad. So I plan to make a sound to shake the opponent's will, and then find a chance to make a move. Who knows that I will cause a little trouble. In the past, when Jianzong, a Lingyu elder, walked the world with a duckweed sword, he did not know how many demons were killed by the sword. Later After becoming the ancestor of Mahayana, he has a rare rival in Kyushu.

Even though her cultivation level has dropped, it is not something she can easily defeat.

It seems that today is the iron plate.

Su Mingxiu missed a hit, but her expression remained the same, and she even casually and rarely gave birth to a little chatter, and casually said: "Oh? The identity of the apprentice is very insightful."

But the monster who had provoked her just now was just giggling, and everyone knew very well that since they met today, they were destined to stay here.

"Pfft-"

After a long time.

Lingyu Mountain.

The raging power of the thunder caused a mouthful of blood to spit out.

The duckweed sword was held by Yubai's fingertips and inserted into the frozen soil under his feet.

At this time, Guimian rushed in front of Su Mingxiu, raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, and her expression was a little anxious and at a loss:

"Blood again..."

She murmured, "But I made a wish."

Su Mingxiu has been spitting blood every day since the last ninety days of the last world. Now, apart from the pain in the muscles and collaterals, it gives her some freshness. In fact, she can't get used to this blood vomiting. He wiped away the trace with his hand, and even managed to comfort the little girl: "It's okay."

Just go back to the cave to recuperate.

Su Mingxiu knows that as long as the world has not reached the time when she should do the final task. No matter how much you struggle, this body can hold on.

On the contrary, after completing the final task, she felt that she did not feel like she was going to die or attain immortality.

Guimian hurriedly ran down the mountain, "I, I'm going to find Elder Tian Nanxing now."

Su Mingxiu looked at her figure, and didn't even have time to say her refusal voice.

Never mind.

She gathered enough strength, returned to the cave, and retreated again.

Only this night, when she was running her spiritual power, she suddenly sensed movement around her, opened her eyes subconsciously, and saw the little girl who appeared beside her with the quilt in her arms. The red headband rubbed against the quilt. And the owner of the red rope is trying to cover her with the quilt.

Su Ming Embroidery: "?"

Her eyelashes trembled, and the first question she asked was: "How did you get in?"

Guimian was trying to put the quilt in place. Hearing this question, he raised his head in confusion, and only remembered after a while, "I was very hungry when I slept, and I couldn't find anything to eat, so I just starved myself. When I woke up, when I opened my eyes, I saw Shizun, you were trembling in this hole, are you cold?"

Su Mingxiu followed her gaze—

The piece that she had cut from the mysterious ice to serve as the mountain gate has completely disappeared.

"Uh..." She was silent for a while, but she said with a rare sigh: "Don't eat indiscriminately, let the pantry bring some spiritual food when you're hungry."

I was only taken out by her once, and there were so many unusual things on Guimian's body. If other people in Jianzong saw it, I am afraid it would be difficult for her to explain the situation.

Then she said, "I'm not cold, so don't cover me with a quilt, you can go back home."

"But the master is trembling." Guimian was extraordinarily stiff in some places.

Su Mingxiu knew what she was referring to, that was because Tianlei's old injury was so painful that she couldn't control these natural reactions of her body. But she didn't explain anymore, just closed her eyes again and continued to meditate.

Soon.

She heard a "click".

Su Mingxiu couldn’t get the spiritual power in her body to run smoothly. She thought that Guimian had even gnawed at the door of her own cave just now. I don’t know what she was tossing about again. Take pills.

That's fine.

This time, before closing her eyes, she did not forget to remind her to sleep, "Don't forget to feed your little turtle, be careful to starve it to death, if you don't know what to feed, go to ask the demon Hall."

Get back to health sooner."

Su Mingxiu thought that she just had to wait quietly for the news of returning to sleep to attend the Secret Realm Conference.

Who knows.

One night three days later, the little apprentice came to her cultivation place in the middle of the night, babbled and whispered to her, "Master... I have a stomachache."

"What did you eat?" Su Mingxiu asked without opening her eyes.

It's just that the messy quilt that was originally wrapped around her was suddenly guided by a spiritual force, and after unfolding, it wrapped the child who was rolling on the ice into a ball, and then it was shocked again, The cold chill disappeared, but instead it was warm.

The state of being able to return to sleep has not improved, she frowned in pain, cold sweat on her forehead, and was still seriously recalling what she had eaten today, "I ate the glutinous rice chicken in the pantry in the morning. It is filled with mountain mushrooms from the herbal field of Baicaotang, and the drink is hand-milled five-grain soy milk..."

The next full quarter of an hour.

Su Mingxiu listened to the menu of the Jianzong restaurant for one day.

Almost made her hungry.

However, until Su Mingxiu's expression gradually changed from helplessness to blankness, she did not hear any clues from this complicated recipe.

She interrupted: "Apart from the ones in the dining hall, what else do you eat?"

Guimian thought for a while, "I ate a snack from Xuanwu."

Su Ming Embroidery: "?"

The little apprentice looked at her carefully, and was still trying to verify: "Xuanwu is fine after eating, it's not like I ate it randomly, right?"

"Uh..." For a moment, Su Mingxiu suddenly wondered, is she too used to this little guy?

There are some truths that cannot be understood just by speaking. The consequences of eating indiscriminately need to be understood by yourself.

She asked in a very light tone, "If it wasn't for eating indiscriminately, why would the abdominal pain persist?"

Guimian flattened her mouth, raised her hand and pulled her sleeve, "Master, I was wrong."

The arm was suddenly entangled by a force—

She looked down.

It is a brightly patterned…

Tail?

Looking along these thin scales, it is the quilt wrapped around Guimian.

Su Mingxiu instinctively grabbed the tail with her backhand, trying to see where the monster came from, but she was able to hide her breath and sneak here.

As she subconsciously released her strength, Guimian tried to sit up, her hair had long been messed up by her just rolling, and it was still sticking to the side of her face, dyeing her fair face The mess is endless.

The little apprentice also saw the long scarlet tail sticking out from the quilt, slender with scales.

It's not a human trait.

As she thought, the tail that landed on the blue ice flicked from side to side.

Guimian said blankly: "Master... This seems to be from me?"

She said again: "I have a tail?"

Bright, with a seductive charm.

Extreme contrast, integrated in the same person.

Su Mingxiu's eyelashes trembled for a moment, but her tone remained calm: "I saw it."

Seeing that Guimian was no longer screaming, she stretched out her hand again, wanting to see the condition of the little apprentice, but when she moved with her, the long tail seemed to find a target, and wrapped around her again Come, this layer of coldness was rolled back on the wrist, and Su Mingxiu couldn't help frowning: "Don't move."

"Oh." Guimian nodded.

Afterwards, the tip of the red tail wrapped around Su Mingxiu's wrist rolled up and gently scratched her palm.

Su Ming Embroidery: “…”

Going to sleep: "!"
