Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 262 Jiang Yan leads a group up the mountain
From both a personal and rational perspective, Duan Huaige felt that he had no reason to refuse.

Never mind, I just couldn't bear to see my dear sister sleeping alone and scared! What could I have done wrong?
Duan Huaige quickly convinced himself: "Okay... I'm pretty bored sleeping alone anyway."

"Really? Then I'll chat with you, Huai Ge." When Xiao Xie heard that she seemed to have come to the right place, her eyes immediately lit up with visible joy.

"Okay, but didn't you say you'd warm my bed?" Duan Huaige walked to the bedside, changed his own bedding, and spread it on the floor. Then he made a new bedding on the same spot.

"Come on, go upstairs and lie down. Look at you, you're only wearing pajamas. You didn't even wear anything more when you came to see me."

Xie Cangling blinked obediently. Although it seemed like she had been scolded, the feeling of being cared for warmed her heart...

She obediently climbed onto the bed to warm it for Duan Huaige, but when she turned her head, she saw Duan Huaige lying down on the floor mat next to the bed, which puzzled her.

"Huaige, what's going on?"

"Oh, so you can focus on warming the bed, I'll be supervising you from the side." Duan Huaige replied seriously, "You'd better make sure you get warm, otherwise I won't go up to sleep on my bed until it's as warm as an oven."

Duan Huaige felt that although he might be a pervert, he was definitely a pervert with principles. How could he bear to do anything bad to such a well-behaved girl with social anxiety?

Of course, this had nothing to do with the fact that his room was not far from Qin Shuangjiang's room; it was purely his noble character that prompted him to do such a gentlemanly thing.

If Xie Cangling initially acted on impulse, knocking on the door in her pajamas and clutching her teddy bear, she is now belatedly realizing that her actions might be quite tempting to boys…

Xie Cangling: Huai Ge is so kind. I was the one who was afraid to come and bother him, but he not only didn't mind, he even made up an excuse for me...

They don't even intend to take advantage of me at all...

Actually… Huai Ge, you could take a little bit too, as long as Xi Yu doesn’t find out…

Hmm? Does this idea of ​​mine seem a bit too blatant?

Xie Cangling hugged the teddy bear, her cheeks flushed, as if she were about to catch a fire. She quickly reached out from under the covers to gently fan herself and cool down...

"what happened?"

"Yes, there are mosquitoes," Xiao Xie replied guiltily.

"..."

There are mosquitoes on the mountain at this time of year? You're insulting my intelligence.

Duan Huaige saw through it but didn't say anything. The room became quiet. There were no insects chirping outside the window, only the sound of the wind blowing through the cracks in the window. The tranquil atmosphere under the night made the two of them almost able to hear each other's heartbeats.

The last time the two of them were alone in a confined space seemed to be back when they were in a tent in the secret realm.

Oh no, strictly speaking, Yan Qiuxi was also lying in ambush in the tent at that time.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be getting a little awkward, Duan Huaige took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Cangling, are you asleep?"

"No..." Xiao Xie said weakly, "Was my heartbeat too loud and disturbing you?"

Once again sharing a room with Duan Huaige, Xie Cangling's state of mind had clearly changed drastically. Before, in the secret realm tent, she only cared about the proper etiquette between close friends, but now… even that was irrelevant. What did it matter? Besides, Xi Yu had sent me here! She said it was to guard against Qin Shuangjiang's nighttime attack…

The main selling point is that the tea is famous!
Xie Cangling's mind began to race, contemplating what might happen in the near future...

If, and I mean if, Huai Ge sleepwalks at night and then hugs me while backing into a parking space... wouldn't Xi Yu be furious?
Or rather... Huai Ge was too cold at night, so she came over and hugged me. I happened to be sleeping too soundly and didn't resist, and then we went into the parking space from the side... Didn't Xi Yu explode too?

The more Xiao socially anxious thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed, and her heart started racing. When she heard Duan Huaige call her name, she was startled, and her voice trembled slightly.

There shouldn't be such a thing as mind reading in this world, right?
"Oh." Duan Huaige replied to Xie Cangling, "No, it's just that I can't sleep either."

"Huaige, you have something on your mind too?" Xie Cangling asked cautiously.

"You could say that," Duan Huaige said. "The more you think about troubles, the more troubled you become... Let's not talk about this. What do you usually do when you can't sleep?"

"Me? I might count sheep," Xie Cangling said softly. "And then fall asleep while counting?"

"Good idea." Duan Huaige nodded and said, "Then I'll count sheep too."

"One sheep... two sheep... three sheep... whole roasted lamb... lamb skewers... lamb buns... lamb chops..."

"..."

Oh no, as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and my buddy has been spending too much time with Jiang Xiyu, even the system has been assimilated by her.

……

As night deepened, two figures darted swiftly through the vegetation in the mountains and forests.

Without a doubt, these two were Xiao Jiang and Yan Wang, who had traveled a long and arduous journey back to Longhu Mountain and were now rushing to the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.

"Wait a minute..." Seeing that the woods were getting denser and there was no sign of them leaving, Xiao Jiang couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Yan Qiuxi, do you even know how to lead the way? Didn't you say that we could take a shortcut up the mountain? Can't you be a little more reliable?"

"I guarantee you'll be fine! I've walked this path before!" Yan Qiuxi said confidently. "You can rest assured with me. I'll definitely take you to Longhu Mountain tonight."

As she spoke, Yan Qiuxi looked ahead, and several pebbles appeared in her hand. She threw them towards several Bagua directions. Golden ripples appeared in the air, like waves on water.

King Yan was overjoyed and turned around proudly, saying, "See? I told you I could find the formation!"

"You're really something!" Xiao Jiang stopped complaining. "Quickly, let us in. A good girl like Cang Ling is no match for Qin Shuangjiang. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can stop Qin Shuangjiang's plan."

"Heh, with me here, Qin Shuangjiang is destined to be a loser!" Yan Qiuxi looked down at her with disdain, took out a bunch of glowing red rope copper coins from her storage bag, and casually scattered them onto the formation in front of her.

The expected scene of the copper coins passing through the formation did not occur. Instead, the formation shone brightly with golden light, knocking away all the copper coins that Yan Qiuxi had scattered.

"What the hell?" Yan Qiuxi's eyes widened, her expression as if the sky had fallen: "The Celestial Master's Mansion has closed its gates?"

"What do we do now?" Xiao Jiang asked anxiously. "Is there any other way to get up the mountain?"
