Lin Jiaojiao wanted to tell her senior brother about the village being harmed by monsters, but as soon as she entered the door, she found her senior brother sitting at the table holding a spiritual fruit in his hand and not knowing what he was thinking.

She only felt that the current senior brother's face was extremely soft.

Senior brother, do you like eating spiritual fruits?

But he has been living without food for a long time.

Lin Jiaojiao was a little puzzled, but she also thought that she still had a lot of spiritual fruits in her storage ring, so she simply took them out and piled them on Lu Shiling's table.

As soon as Lu Shiling turned around, he found a pile of spiritual fruits piled on the table, while Lin Jiaojiao was still saying, "Senior brother, do you like to eat spiritual fruits? I happen to have a lot of them here."

Lu Shiling frowned and opened his mouth: "No..."

"Fu Rou picked these before, but I don't like eating this kind of thing, so..."

Lin Jiaojiao realized that his senior brother's face didn't look good as he was talking, so he stopped talking and asked, "Does the wound hurt?"

Lu Shiling stared at the spirit fruits, his fingers holding the spirit fruits gradually tightened, his eyes slightly darkened, and he said softly:

"It turns out there's more than one person left for me..."

Lu Shiling couldn't describe what he was feeling, he just felt bored and restless.

I wish I could go to Fu Rou and reason with her now.

But when he thought of the other person's soft and frightened look, and his soft, feather-like voice, he knew that he would definitely scare the other person half to death.

After all, she... even gave me a piece of fruit secretly.

So in the end, Lu Shiling just bit the fruit in his hand expressionlessly and made a big gap.

When they set off the next day, Fu Rou arrived at the back of the team early, but her position was hidden and difficult to be discovered.

This also allowed her to hear the conversations between her fellow disciples.

"Master said that the immortal is about to leave seclusion recently, so let us quickly get rid of the monsters in the village so that we can go back quickly."

"No wonder Senior Brother is so anxious and asked us to gather early in the morning."

"Yeah, I originally thought I could play for a few more days, but now it seems I have to finish the mission quickly and go back."

Fu Rou was a little confused after listening to their conversation. Which immortal?

Is there... this character in the plot? Why doesn't she remember it?

Fu Rou, who was deep in thought, didn't know that Lu Shiling had also arrived at the meeting point and was staring at her.

Lin Jiaojiao, who was explaining the things to pay attention to, followed his gaze and saw Fu Rou standing in the corner meditating. She thought about it for a moment and realized that her senior brother was thinking about it.

She said loudly: "It's okay, senior brother, I can protect Fu Rou."

After all, Fu Rou was injured for her. It would be too much to leave her here just because she was injured.

After Lin Jiaojiao finished speaking, he walked up to Fu Rou and said to her in a very gentle voice: "Remember to follow me when we set off and don't run around. I will protect you."

When Fu Rou heard this, she immediately shook her head, "How is that possible? Senior sister just needs to protect herself. I'll be fine."

As she said this, she wanted to pat her chest to express that she was fine, but as soon as she raised her arm, the wound was pulled, and her little face suddenly turned pale.

Lu Shiling pursed his lips and turned the porcelain bottle in his hand. Just as he was about to walk over, he heard the girl's soft voice:

"Senior sister is so kind. She is indeed my favorite senior sister."

Do you like it the most...

Lu Shiling tightened his grip on the porcelain bottle in his hand and suddenly said: "Let's go."

"Eh? Senior brother, why did you leave so early today! I still have a junior brother who hasn't arrived yet!"

Lu Shiling ignored their voices, turned around and left the house.

Even though everyone was feeling miserable, they could only keep up the pace helplessly.

Their mission target this time is a village called Quanshui Village.

It is said that people often go missing in this village, and strange sounds are heard every night, so the leader specially sent them down to check the situation.

By the way, also experience them.

Unexpectedly, they were attacked by monsters before they reached the village, so they had to rest for a day.

Quanshui Village was once famous for its rich spring water, so it was named Quanshui Village.

But for some reason, the spring water suddenly dried up in recent years, so the village that was once famous for its spring water is now just an ordinary village with a barren drought.

They walked around the street. The street was deserted, and there was no sign of anyone.

There was no abnormality in the compass in Lu Shiling's hand, which meant that there were no monsters here at this time.

"How about we visit them and investigate?" Lin Jiaojiao suggested from the side.

"Senior sister is right. There is nothing to gain by continuing this way. Why don't we take the initiative to investigate."

"In that case, let's investigate in groups." Lu Shiling said and looked up at Fu Rou. Just as he was about to speak, he saw her quietly moving behind Lin Jiaojiao.

Lu Shiling pursed his lips, and his words were a bit cold.

"Zhongliang will take the people with me, and you can allocate the rest among yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving everyone confused and looking at each other.

"Why do I feel...senior brother is not in a good mood?"

"I feel it too, his face is so cold."

They rubbed their shoulders, shrugged and complained to each other.

Fu Rou didn't feel anything at all.

Anyway, she just follows the heroine obediently, and when she finds an opportunity to go offline, she just rushes forward.

Everything else has nothing to do with her.

Therefore, Fu Rou followed Lin Jiaojiao all the way.

When she went to visit Fu Rou, she stood at the door of the room in a daze.

She stared into the distance in a daze while listening to the voices of Lin Jiaojiao and the old woman talking in the room.

Suddenly she felt a chill on her cheeks. She raised her eyes and looked into the air, only to see the falling fine snow.

She reached out to take it, and a touch of coldness fell into her hand, instantly melting into a drop of water.

"Is it snowing?"

But this is May.

She muttered softly, her voice blending into the wind and gradually drifting away.

There was an invisible ripple in the air, and after she finished speaking, a soft voice came from behind her:

"you……"

"It smells so good."

Fu Rou turned around when she heard the voice, and a face under a red umbrella came into view.

He was wearing a thin green shirt, his long jet-black hair was half pulled up and half disheveled, and his eyebrows and eyes were like splashes of ink, thick but without losing color.

Fu Rou noticed that there was a string of sandalwood beads tied around his wrist holding the umbrella. The beads were engraved with golden characters that she could not understand.

His red lips were slightly curved, and he bent down in a semi-invitational gesture, bringing the red umbrella closer to Fu Rou.

"It's snowing heavily, do you want to come in and take shelter?"

As if to reflect his words, the sky that was still covered with fine snow suddenly began to snow heavily.

Fluffy snow fell on her cheeks, making Fu Rou tremble, but she remained unmoved and even shrank back.

"No need, my senior sister will be out in a moment."

Not to mention that this person who didn’t know when he appeared behind her was very strange. What was even more strange was...

Is he a little too close?

Fu Rou looked at the distance between the two of them, which was less than one step, and silently hid aside.

When she hid to the side, the man followed her and moved to the side.

After this, Fu Rou leaned against the wall, with nowhere to hide.

She moved her lips, looked at the large open space behind the people next to her, and said at a loss: "That..."

Her voice was light, and the man listened with half-closed eyes and a soft hum.

"Isn't it a little too close?"

Fu Rou looked at the red umbrella that had enveloped her, then looked at the person next to her, and whispered a reminder.

"Ah." The man seemed to have just realized something, "I'm sorry."

"Because you smell so good, I got closer to you without even realizing it."
