☆, Chapter 2 (Catching Bugs)
Hua Ling quickly stopped Jiang Yu with his quick eyes and hands: ‘Go upstairs with me, I need your help. Now!’
Jiang Yu frowned: ‘Hey, Hua Ling…’
Hua Ling gently placed her index finger on his lips: ‘Go upstairs first.’
Jiang Yu: ?
…
Jiang Yu leaned against the wall with his arms folded, watching Hua Ling pack her medical kit with a cold stare: ‘Woman, have you lost your mind?’
Hua Ling gave a wry smile: ‘You’ve picked up Modern Chinese quite quickly.’
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and placed a hand over Hua Ling’s medical kit: ‘That woman reeks of death and resentment.’
Hua Ling looked up at him with clear eyes. ‘So?’
Jiang Yu suppressed the urge to strangle her: ‘Are you looking for death?’
Hua Ling’s mouth curled up slightly: ‘Thanks for your concern.’
Jiang Yu almost exploded again: ‘Who cares about you! As a sword spirit, if you can’t even protect a little girl, wouldn’t that be a shame!’
Hua Ling nodded: ‘Indeed.’
Jiang Yu: ‘…’
Hua Ling smiled: ‘So, you’re coming with me.’
Jiang Yu: ‘…’
Jiang Yu’s eyes flickered, and suddenly he grabbed Hua Ling’s wrist: ‘She’s bewitched you!?’
He turned over Hua Ling’s palm, and saw a faint line of black gas looming in the palm of his hand.
Jiang Yu’s eyes darkened: ‘This scum, he doesn’t know when to die.’
Hua Ling withdrew his hand and patted him on the forehead: ‘It’s just a petty trick, why get angry.’
Jiang Yu was unhappy when his good intentions were ignored twice in a row. ‘Then you’d better hurry up and go die. I can get back to being free sooner.’
