Chapter 21 Cohabitation Life

Ruan Zhan held Xiaoxia in his arms and couldn’t tell what it felt like to hear her say such intense yet sincere words. I just feel so full in my chest that I wish this moment would stop forever. However, the real problem is there and it is impossible not to solve it. He never thought that one day he would fight against his father.

Did your father teach everything he had learned just to be defeated by him one day?

“I will work hard to live for you.” He promised.

“What method can I use to – I mean, can I help my uncle?” Xiao Xia carefully considered the words, “Does it have to be you to complete it?”

“I think he must have found no other way to do this. Although he is indifferent to me, he probably doesn’t like to frame his parents and children. Maybe I shouldn’t blame him, because from his perspective , I can’t be considered a son, it’s just something he created to help himself.”

“Ruan Zhan!”

“Don’t worry, I’m not complaining about myself, I’m just telling the truth, because my father is also born with good abilities. It’s like a strange special ability that can be inherited from father to son. The bad energy in my father seems to have to be It can only be resolved by the ability of the same species. He has no relatives, so he can only create one. My mother is just a hired woman who gave birth to a child for money.” Ruan Zhan said it plainly, but his The encounter made Xiao Xia a little aggrieved, and for a moment she wanted Ruan Zhan to ignore the matter.

How can there be such a thing! If you get into trouble, will you give birth to a son to help solve it? Such a person does not deserve the title of father at all! Those were his flesh and blood, how could he be willing to make such a big sacrifice? !

“Because you don’t treat me as a normal child, so you don’t have feelings for me.”

“That – not necessarily.” Xiao Xia thought of the way Ruan Zhan’s father looked at him and felt quite unsure. Just now, he was a little angry at Ruan Zhan’s father, but in a blink of an eye, he realized that things were not that simple. She remembered the way the old man looked at Ruan Zhan, so full of love and affection, and not without emotion in any way. Because all this was too sudden and cruel to Ruan Zhan, so he, who has always been calm, couldn’t see clearly when he was deeply involved in this game!

“When that day comes, I mean you are in trouble, what are you going to do?” she asked carefully.

“I don’t know.” Ruan Zhan shook his head, “I don’t know what to do specifically. I just know that I have to use every means to stop him. He must have been so powerful at that time that he was unmatched. I had to use We have to fight with our lives to have a chance! Or, even if I risk my life, I may not be able to stop him!”

“But I don’t understand, no matter how the old man got into trouble, he seems to have been trying to vent his bad temper for so many years. And why doesn’t he train you since you were a child to make you strong, and then early Go help him at once, but have to wait until the evil spirit is at its strongest? Wouldn’t the chance be greater that way?”

“He has been trying to vent his bad energy, but obviously, it has been quite unsuccessful.” Ruan Zhan frowned and was a little confused, “I went to see him this time and found that the bad breath on his body had dissipated a little more. Weak, but gathered more strong and evil, this is particularly confusing to me. He may be using some method, but this method is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst, which can only make the situation more serious. As for why he didn’t train from a young age Instead, he let me go and only taught me some theoretical knowledge, because the exercises I wanted to practice could only be practiced after I became an adult. He probably felt that he would not be able to survive that day, so he forced me to memorize those things early. .Also, this kind of innate ability to cooperate with the exercises he teaches will naturally occur when I become an adult. I can’t refuse it. I can only seal it so that it will not be exposed or used. Once I am completely relieved Seal, my power is natural. Of course, those spells and moves have to be learned.”

“I hurt you, didn’t I?” Xiaoxia suddenly said, “I caused so many troubles, so you had to lift the seal on yourself. If you didn’t lift the seal-“

“Xiaoxia, don’t be stupid.” Ruan Zhan interrupted Xiaoxia, “If I hadn’t tried to lift the seal until now, wouldn’t my ability have been worse? When I faced him, I would have died. It will be even worse. He said that unless there is a miracle, I will never be able to survive this death. Maybe – you are my miracle.”

“You mean duel?” Xiaoxia didn’t hear Miracle at all. She was worried about Ruan Zhan’s safety because she was particularly sensitive to the word “duet”.

“I have to defeat him, otherwise I won’t be able to conquer him who is on the verge of becoming a demon. He chose that day for me to do it, not only because it was the time when he was most vulnerable, but also when I was the strongest. .”

“How confident are you that this is going to go up and down?”

Ruan Zhan didn’t speak for a while, seeming hesitant to tell the truth, but in the end he decided to be honest with Xiao Xia. It is easy to deceive her now, but if tragedy occurs, she will not be able to bear it if she is not mentally prepared!

“I’m not sure at all.” He held her cold little hand, “You can guess how old Sima Nan is. Presumably my father’s age is not as old as his appearance shows. That is to say His skill may not be less than a hundred years old. He also has innate supernatural powers, and his skills are better than others. Do you think I can face him directly? But don’t worry, I will come up with the best way for you, but I have no confidence in defeating him. .”

Xiaoxia lowered her eyes to hide the panic in her heart. She had seen Father Ruan’s skills against demon boys. Although she didn’t understand them, she knew he was a top master by seeing how effortlessly he lifted his weight. But he could have a kind heart towards two monsters he had never met before, so why did he treat his own son like that? Did he really use Ruan Zhan as a tool? So what’s with the love in his eyes? What did he do back then to lead to this unending situation today? Was his calculation that accurate? At that hour of the day, he was at his weakest and his son was at his strongest! What happens if the calculation is wrong by one point? !

For a moment, she wanted to ask Ruan Zhan not to go and to stay with her. But she knew in her heart that the old man had deliberately made such an arrangement. He obviously did not want to turn himself into a demon, and he might even become a demon and pose a life threat to the people around him, so he had to stop it. On the other hand, although Ruan Zhan has a bad relationship with his father, he will not let it go.

If she asked him to let go, he would be hard-pressed to decide. Since she loves him, how can she bear to make things difficult for him? ! Then be a considerate woman. She will support him in whatever he wants to do. Even if it is hell, she will accompany him.

“Maybe he won’t be so cruel to you during the duel. After all, you are his flesh and blood.” She held on to her last hope.

Ruan Zhan smiled helplessly, “It’s a good wish, but he will be unconscious at that time and will not recognize who I am. People with mental illness cannot recognize their family members because their brains are diseased. And my father – it’s more serious, his soul is sick, very sick.”

“Doesn’t this mean there is no hope?”

“Yes, I never thought that I would fight against my father in the end, and judging from my strength, I would die. But Xiaoxia, I will do everything I can to survive in a certain death situation, because I have you, so I won’t Give up life, even if there is only a glimmer of hope!”

“Okay, it’s up to you, I believe you. But, can I find someone to help me that day?”

“No, I don’t want to involve Wan Li and Bao Datong. Their lives will be in danger.”

“Listen to you.”

“Nothing else to say?”

“Yes. What I remember now is that your proposal was not formal. Let’s do it all over again tonight. All the procedures must be included – roses, champagne, romantic piano music, kneeling down on one knee. There are also Yes, we have not officially dated. We want to go shopping, watch movies, go to the park, and eat at high-end restaurants with a good atmosphere.”

“Okay, I’ll satisfy you.”

“I still have to hide in a dark alley and kiss secretly.”

“This – you can start now.”

In this way, Xiaoxia began living with Ruan Zhan.

In the past, she just loved him desperately, but now she understands how happy she is to live with him. Moreover, because the shadow of death always pressed in their hearts, they loved each other especially. As the lyrics of a song say – love each other as if every day is the end, every minute and second is so beautiful that tears fall!

Originally Ruan Zhan planned to take Xiao Xia on a trip together. In what may be the last time of his life, he would enjoy the sweetness and warmth of their world and try to prolong every second they spend together. But in the end, I decided to maintain my current living conditions. Because he can’t give up hope, he should practice diligently in order to face a difficult day. Although his innate spiritual power naturally circulates and becomes stronger in his body, every time his spells and Taoism are strengthened, his survival will be affected. Opportunities will also increase.

As for Xiaoxia, she kept giving herself psychological hints and doing psychological construction, telling herself that Ruan Zhan would not die and that it was impossible for her to be so unlucky that she finally got the love she dreamed of. , will be lost in an instant. God has always treated her well, and he will not treat her poorly on the most critical issues. What’s more, Ruan Zhan is the most important thing in her life, and she will never allow anyone or anything to take him away!

Because they thought this way, two months before that terrible day, the two of them lived together peacefully and sweetly. Every day, they eat together, fall asleep and wake up together, go on various dates in Xiaoxia, and get together with friends. Ruan Zhan has never had such a fulfilling and happy life since he was a child.

In the few remaining hours of the day, Ruan Zhan devoted all of his time to practicing seriously, while Xiao Xia never returned to the office, so she “took over” the entire bar, acting like a boss lady. But despite her efforts, business was still far behind. After all, there were more female customers here, and the handsome boss that people loved to see was missing. Naturally, she didn’t want to see her recognized love rival walking around with a victorious look on her face. There are plenty of bars and handsome guys in other places. Even if the quality is not the same, it is better than nothing.

As for the male guests, although Xiao Xia is pretty, cute and funny, she is neither charming nor open enough. What’s more, Ruan Zhan will kill any man who takes another look at Xiao Xia with his terrifyingly cold eyes. If that’s the case, People are ignorant, and it looks like they might actually be killed, so no one dares to strike up a conversation.

In this way, the whole bar became a lot depressed. If it weren’t for Bao Datong, Wan Li, Liu Tie and Ni Yang, they each have their own die-hard “fans”. In addition, these few people are loyal enough to come to support Xiaoxia every day. , maybe even if they successfully survive the three difficulties, the Ruan couple will starve to death, because the bar will be closed.

The days passed so slowly, but as time went by, uneasiness gradually mixed with rare happiness and joy. No one expressed the feeling that the storm was coming, but everyone was shrouded in a dark cloud. Although Wan Li and Bao Datong did not know the real secret, the coming “three difficulties” also gave them a sense of doom.

“Look at Ah Zhan. After finally coming downstairs, his eyes have been circling Xiaoxia and he ignores his friends. I think he is crazy.” Bao Datong bumped his elbow and sat at the bar. Wan Li, who was looking at the documents, was half sarcastic and half envious.

At this time, it was almost midnight, there was heavy snow outside, and there was not a single guest inside.

“He has been crazy for a long time, you just can’t tell.” Wan Li didn’t even raise his head.

He is sorting out the medical history records of some patients, completing manuscript requests for medical journals, and making preparations before handing over the patients to other doctors so that they can take over. He must do these things in advance, because on the day of “three difficulties”, he has to help his friends and may be away for a while. So he is very busy now. He has to take back the work he cannot finish at the clinic in the evening.

Now that he is getting closer and closer to the unknown danger, he also moved to the bar and lived in the warehouse with Bao Datong, making Bao Datong keep shouting that the place where they stayed seemed to be a dormitory for migrant workers. And when he saw Xiao Xia and Ruan Zhan loving each other so straightforwardly and purely, he felt a mixture of emotions, ups and downs, as if his treasure had been snatched away by others.

But he is willing to be a saint of love and do everything in his power to help Ruan Zhan survive death, without asking for anything in return, as long as his sweetheart is happy. What’s more, the person who took away his treasure was his life-and-death friend, and he also took away other people’s treasures!

“Are you so busy? You don’t even look at others when you talk.”

“I can’t help it. I’m a normal person with a normal job. I’m not like some magicians who can make a fortune by confusing feudal rich people. I won’t name who this magician is.”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Bao Datong said shamelessly, “It seems that I will have a good love again in the future. Although looking at A Zhan’s appearance makes me feel cold, it seems to feel good.”

“At first glance, you look like a mud-legged person from the mountains. You don’t even know this. Aren’t people in love like that? I wish they were the only two people in the world.”

“Then should we be more knowledgeable and stay away?”

“Then when will you go back to your home?” Ruan Zhan suddenly interrupted.

The distance between them was not far, and he could hear every word Bao Datong and Wan Li said. He knew they did it on purpose, but he wanted to take this opportunity to persuade them to leave. Things in the future are dangerous, there is no need to involve friends, as long as they help him take care of Xiaoxia if something happens to him.

“You won’t leave. You are my cousin. Everyone here knows it. Wanli?”

“That’s right.”

Ruan Zhan said nothing, thinking that he had to find a way. Judging from the intentions of these two people, they would not leave easily. But before he could think of anything, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He looked up and found someone at the door.
