The magnificent hall is supported by many huge red pillars, and each pillar is engraved with a circling, lifelike golden dragon, which is lifelike and extremely spectacular.
However, all this prosperity and luxury are made of blood.
Chen Qiu's face turned pale. He didn't know what to do. He wanted Purple Dragon Ginseng, but he didn't want to kill Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi had some estrangement with him before and extorted hundreds of thousands of money from Chen Qiu. Although the process was unpleasant, Chen Qiu finally got what he wanted and let Xiao Xi take him to Shen Village. Logically speaking, he and Xiao Xi It would have been best if the story between them ended here, but it was caused by Shen Tianyu again.
"Why, are you soft-hearted?" Seeing Chen Qiu's delay in taking action, Shen Tianyu said indifferently: "With your ability, you don't even dare to kill a woman, and you still want to go to the Long family for revenge? Do you really think that everything in this world will be like you? Do you want it?"
"Now." Shen Tianyu's face was calm: "I will give you two choices. First, if you leave, I will let this woman go, but I will not give you the purple dragon ginseng."
"Second, kill this woman. You take the purple dragon ginseng and leave. I will give you a minute to think about it. If you don't make any choice in the end, it's a pity. Chen Qiu, I will kill this woman for you." Woman, and you can’t get purple dragon ginseng.”
Chen Qiu's heart trembled. He knew that if he didn't make a choice, according to Shen Tianyu's cruel and ruthless character, Xiao Xi would definitely be killed.
But...
"Chen, Chen Qiu."
Just when Chen Qiu was extremely confused, a gentle voice suddenly came.
When she raised her head, Xiao Xi had tears streaming down her face. Her lips trembled and she stared at the dagger beside Chen Qiu: "Why don't you kill me?"
"I..." Chen Qiu couldn't believe that it was Xiao Xi who said these words.
Along the way, Chen Qiu got to know Xiao Xi's character, the disaster she suffered when she was young, and that she was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was very timid. But he didn't expect that she was now asking him to kill her. .
Xiao Xi's face turned pale, and she knew that her final fate was only death: "Even if you don't kill me, someone will kill me. I know you really want to get that thing, right?" She looked at the purple sky above her with humble eyes. Long Shen glanced at Shen Tianyu again, but quickly looked away: "You came to Shen Village to find Master Shen Tian just for that thing to save your senior sister's life. I... I am a cheap person."
She bit her white lips lightly. The taste of blood woke her up and lowered her head: "I have a life, and I cannot compare with your senior sister. I think she must be a very outstanding and beautiful person, worthy of you." Let's take risks, but I'm different. I'm a scum of society. Sometimes if I'm lucky, I can blackmail rich people in the city like you into living a good life for a while. When I'm unlucky, I can only go to the street to steal some things to make ends meet. , and sometimes even get beaten up when found out. There has never been equality between people. This is what my grandma told me. But now, I can exchange my life for your senior sister’s life. I think this is The noblest moment of my life."
She burst into tears and her body was shaking violently. No one is not afraid of death.
It was endless darkness, with no breathing, no heartbeat, and even no consciousness. Only the soul was floating in the endless abyss, with no thoughts, no emotions, no everything, not even despair and fear.
Her tears became more and more violent, but she stubbornly stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Chen Qiu, do it, I deserve it. I have done so many bad things, and I should be punished. I can die in your hands."
I am also willing."
Chen Qiu stared at the crying Xiao Xi with pear blossoms and rain in front of him. His mood was very complicated, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and picked up the dagger on the ground.
Now there is no choice. Xiao Xi's final result is death, so why can't he kill her himself? If he kills her, he can get the purple dragon ginseng, and then Su Waner will be safe and sound.
Chen Qiu kept comforting his heart. He hoped to minimize the guilt of this killing, and even said that he regarded Xiao Xi as a person who deserved to die.
Gritting his teeth and clutching the dagger in his hand, Chen Qiu wanted to pick up the knife and drop it, but he could not stab an innocent person with the dagger.
"Chen Qiu!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Xi looked at you coldly: "Don't let me look down on you. I thought highly of you before, but who knew you were such a coward that you wouldn't even dare to kill someone? I look down on you from the bottom of my heart.
If I were you, I would definitely take action against such a man. No one is more important than your relatives. If your relatives die because of the sad kindness in your heart, then you will be a coward who cannot hold your head high for the rest of your life.
.”
Shen Tianyu who was on the throne looked at it with great interest, but one minute passed very quickly. In fact, it had already passed. He stood up and said lazily: "Chen Qiu, the time has come. Since you are reluctant to take action, then I will
I’m here to take your place.”
He walked slowly down the steps until he came to Chen Qiu. He gave him a meaningful look and immediately wanted to take the dagger from his hand, but Chen Qiu held it tightly and refused to do anything.
release.
Shen Tianyu didn't mind at all, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I want to kill someone, why do I need a dagger."
He raised his arm, and all his inner strength was condensed in the palm of his hand. As soon as he made a move, Xiao Xi would turn into flesh!
"You've accomplished nothing, let me avenge you!" Shen Tianyu smiled coldly, raised his palm and prepared to strike at Xiao Xi.
But who would have expected that in the midst of the lightning and flint, Chen Qiu suddenly rushed over with a dagger in his hand, but in the blink of an eye, the dagger pierced Xiao Xi's chest.
Time seemed to have stopped. The first time she was injured, Xiao Xi did not feel any pain. She just felt that something cold had suddenly entered her body. She opened her eyes wide, lowered her head and slowly looked at her chest.
The sharp dagger has been completely engulfed.
She raised her head and stared into Chen Qiu's frightened eyes. She was speechless for a moment, but finally showed a happy smile.
When you are in the arena, you are always in control of yourself, and sometimes the mistakes you make are not your intention.
Chen Qiu had no other choice. He had to bow his head under the eaves. For Purple Dragon Ginseng and Su Waner, he had no choice but to sacrifice Xiao Xi with his own hands.
But Xiao Xi was innocent. When Chen Qiu thought everything was over, he still saw Xiao Xi's happy eyes, which instantly gave him a strong sense of shame.
Growing up, Chen Qiu experienced many beatings and killings, and countless people died at his hands.
But that group of people was different from Xiao Xi. They deserved to die. They offended themselves and insulted their relatives. Chen Qiu didn't feel any guilt in killing them.
Xiao Xi is different. No matter what heinous crimes she committed in Guancheng, she is innocent between Chen Qiu and Shen Tianyu.
She did not make any mistakes, but she was responsible for death.
Life passed slowly, blood overflowed from the wound and flowed onto Chen Qiu's body. Xiao Xi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't have a trace of strength. She just lay quietly in Chen Qiu's arms. , until reaching the end of life.
"Not bad." Shen Tianyu chuckled as he watched all this happen: "I have to admit, I am impressed by you at this moment. The master once said that you are soft-hearted and not the same as me, but now I think that Chen Qiu, You and I are the same, but you have not experienced the dangers I have experienced, but in the end, you will step on my path."
Chen Qiu took a deep breath, placed Xiao Xi steadily on the ground, raised his head and looked at Shen Tianyu, and said in a deep voice: "Purple dragon ginseng, give it to me, don't lie to me again."
"Of course." Shen Tianyu waved his hand, and the warrior on the other side stepped up the steps and carefully took down the purple dragon ginseng wrapped in transparent glass: "Although I really don't want to give it to you, your performance just now really made me laugh. I am very satisfied. From now on, this purple dragon ginseng is yours. I will arrange for someone to send you back. I don’t want this purple dragon ginseng to be snatched away halfway."
Chen Qiu's eyes were cold: "Who wants to rob me, is it you?"
Shen Tianyu smiled meaningfully: "I don't dare! There are some of your senior sisters that I dare not offend. If I bully you today, I'm afraid my good life will soon come to an end."
