PFC Chapter 132 My Soul Is Not Clean
Chapter 132 My Soul Is Not Clean
Ji Xingyi knew that Jiang Lin was worried about him, which was why he yelled at him. He wasn't angry at all and gently hugged Jiang Lin to comfort him: "I'm fine, I'll be alright."
Wang Zhe watched as the two of them hugged each other while talking, and felt that something was wrong. He nudged Chen Jiangqiao next to him with his elbow: What's going on?
Chen Jiangqiao didn't want to pay any attention to this big idiot. Seeing the two of them hugging each other, he felt incredibly jealous.
Chi Xuan, standing by the river in the distance, couldn't help but pinch Zhou Jue's arm tightly: "Waaah, the shou is worried that the gong is getting hurt and is throwing a tantrum at the gong. The gong hugs him tightly and whispers to comfort him. This is the time to kiss him!"
Waaaaah, it's so bittersweet~ I love it so much~
Who are those two third wheels over there? They're in the way!
Zhou Jue gritted his teeth in pain. He never knew Chi Xuan was so strong. He felt like his arm was about to break!
"Ah! Captain, I'm so sorry!" After Jiang Lin and the others left, Chi Xuan realized that she had grabbed Zhou Jue's arm in her excitement and quickly apologized.
Zhou Jue straightened his face, swallowed his pain, and forced a gentle smile: "I'm fine. You're looking at them? You like him?"
"Who?" Chi Xuan was completely bewildered by Zhou Jue's sudden question.
"He is indeed very handsome." Even though Zhou Jue was unwilling, he could only admit this.
"Ji Xingyi?" Chi Xuan's eyes widened, and she became agitated the next second: "No way, I won't allow you to break up my CP!"
Zhou Jue: "?????? CP?"
Chi Xuan realized she had misspoke and immediately corrected herself: "I don't have those kinds of feelings for him, don't misunderstand. I just... love shipping... couples."
Chi Xuan's voice grew softer and softer towards the end, but Zhou Jue's eyes grew brighter and brighter: "What is a CP?"
Chi Xuan and Zhou Jue participated in three dungeons together. Zhou Jue risked his life to save her many times, so she naturally trusted him. However, she was a little embarrassed to admit this hobby.
Meeting Zhou Jue's expectant gaze, Chi Xuan hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed and whispered in Zhou Jue's ear, "...That's it, Captain, don't tell anyone else!"
Zhou Jue's brain cells were thrown into chaos by the information Chi Xuan had poured into him, leaving him momentarily speechless. After several seconds, he looked at the woman with a complicated expression and asked, "You... like this kind of thing?"
"Well, how should I put it? I like the kind of pure and passionate love in novels!" Chi Xuan rarely showed such a playful and adorable side in front of Zhou Jue: "And in real life..."
"It's about the merging of two families, the mundane details of life, work and responsibilities, and sometimes even the balancing of interests. Shipping a couple doesn't have that burden! It satisfies my spiritual need for an ideal love!"
Chi Xuan thought Zhou Jue was just curious, but after she finished speaking, she found that he was listening very seriously, which warmed her heart: "But don't worry, Captain, I'm just a shipper, I still value my life!"
Zhou Jue nodded: "Although I still don't quite understand, as long as you're happy!"
Zhou Jue thought for a moment and added, "You can hold onto me when you get excited in the future."
"Captain, you're so kind!" Chi Xuan was so moved she almost cried.
Seeing that Jiang Lin was still angry, Wang Zhe made up an excuse and slipped away. The second round of "Reflections in the Clear Stream" would take place the next morning, and they would have another night to look for clues.
After taking a deep look at their intertwined hands, Chen Jiangqiao silently lit a cigarette and turned to leave.
Ji Xingyi held Jiang Lin's hand and wandered aimlessly through Qingxi Town, occasionally observing Jiang Lin's expression.
Whether it was the powerful witch or the cunning Kane from the previous dungeon, Jiang Lin had always been able to handle all the dungeon bosses with ease. So why was Jiang Lin so angry this time?
Thinking of this, Ji Xingyi stopped and reached out to rub the young man's temples: "What are you thinking about? Is there any mystery in this world that Jiang Lin can't solve?"
Jiang Lin raised his eyes, looked at him for a long time, and then chuckled softly: "Young Master Ji really doesn't know how to comfort people at all."
Seeing that Jiang Lin finally smiled, Ji Xingyi lowered his head slightly and asked, "Then, Miss Jiang... how should I comfort you?"
As the beauty drew closer, Jiang Lin grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her.
Because Jiang Lin was still wearing a traditional Chinese jacket and skirt, the NPCs on the street only thought the couple was a bit promiscuous, but they didn't find it strange.
After kissing twice, Ji Xingyi pulled Jiang Lin to a secluded and deserted covered bridge.
From here, a beautiful scene of small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses comes into view.
If it weren't for the death instance, it would be a rare sanctuary for the soul.
"Did you find anything?" Ji Xingyi knew that Jiang Lin's behavior today was a bit unusual. Jiang Lin was angry earlier, so he hadn't asked.
Jiang Lin remained silent for a moment, then turned to look down at the bridge. The stream under the covered bridge was a branch of the clear stream, and in the distance, red carp could be seen swimming under the bridge.
"It's your soul. The thing underwater, which is also the boss of this instance, has its eye on your soul."
The concept of the soul, reincarnation, and immortality through cultivation has existed in Chinese history for a long time.
However, in the real scientific system, the soul is an existence that has never been captured.
Ji Xingyi initially leaned towards science, but the appearance of Dead Soul Island led him into a bizarre and fantastical world of death, which made him realize that human life truly has a soul.
After the previous instance, "The Battle of Spirits," there was something Ji Xingyi hadn't told Jiang Lin.
That is holy water.
Physical damage experienced by players in dungeons will not carry over into reality. However, the effects of holy water will persist in reality outside of dungeons.
Later, Ji Xingyi understood this point: because the physical bodies in the dungeon are fake, created by Dead Soul Island, but their souls are real, so the effects on the soul level in the dungeon can be brought back to reality.
However, the holy water is not a permanent item and has a time limit. Ji Xingyi could feel that the holy water had no effect on him anymore.
Ji Xingyi reached out and touched the corner of Jiang Lin's eye: "Your soul is also very beautiful, purple."
Jiang Lin was slightly taken aback, then narrowed his eyes: "You still remember?"
Jiang Lin thought that Ji Xingyi had forgotten what happened the night he drank the holy water.
"But why does it like my soul? Why doesn't it like you?" Ji Xing asked, looking surprised.
Jiang Lin's soul is so beautiful, more dazzling than the stars.
The BOSS eliminated Jiang Lin in the first round. How can someone with such poor judgment be a dungeon BOSS?
"I..." Jiang Lin turned her face away guiltily, opened her mouth slightly, and paused for several seconds before answering slowly, "I'm not clean."
Ji Xing's mind went blank as she recalled Chen Jiangqiao's story about Jiang Lin being molested by Shen Wangshu. Her heart trembled as she hugged the young man tightly, blaming herself for asking that damned question: "You're not dirty."
Don't say that!
Jiang Lin didn't know why Ji Xingyi had suddenly become so emotional, but he liked the feeling of being held tightly, so he didn't hesitate any longer and said frankly:
"Remember when I said that the New World is a group of abnormal humans?"
"Me too."
"My soul is unclean."
