After a while.

There is no sharp pain piercing the heart.

There was no system prompt for "exit the copy" in my mind.

When he opened his eyes, the woman in front of him was sheathing his rapier.

Zhou Ming moved his mouth, but the woman opposite spoke first.

"Don't get me wrong, I can take your life at any time, but you are still of some use to me, so I will spare your life for the time being."

"I know the rules of Zhenlin City, and all immortals must abide by them, but I just want to break your rules!"

"In three days, I will come to your Zhenlin City, falling from the sky!"

"I want you to be prepared to welcome me with the most solemn etiquette and on the most grand occasion!"

Twenty years ago, I left alone and desolately.

Twenty years later, I will come back under the spotlight!

Seeing the surprised and confused expression on Zhou Ming's face again, Jiang Ruonan smiled seductively, flicked his sleeves and sprinkled a handful of gold powder on his chest, directly on his almost visible heart. The gold powder squirmed, as if it had life. into that heart.

"This is the Heart-eating Gu. It is connected to my mind. When I think about it, if I want you to live, you will live. If I want you to die, you will die. If the master dies, the Heart-Eating Gu will lose control and eat up your heart, liver, and kidneys. lung."

Zhou Ming suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain, like being bitten by thousands of insects. His face turned sallow and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

The female devil in front of her said: "So, don't think about any tricks. From today on, your life is mine. Whatever I tell you, you have to do it."

She stepped forward, patted Zhou Ming's face, and breathed into his ear: "Do you understand?"

Zhou Ming nodded with difficulty, and the pain subsided slightly.

When he looked up again, the female devil had disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Ming was the only one left in the study.

He moved a few steps with difficulty, walked to the desk, turned the sofa and chair, and slowly sat down with blood stains all over his body.

Feeling emotional.

Quite touching.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable and things in the world are unpredictable. Zhou Ming, who thinks he has a good grasp of people's hearts and human nature, still accidentally stumbles into a fight when faced with a weirdo like Jiang Ruonan.

In fact, from Jiang Ruonan's perspective, her reason for coming back for revenge was indeed logical and clear.

From the perspective of normal-thinking people like Zhou Ming, the reasons she cited were so bizarre, so unreasonable, and full of loopholes.

People with average moral standards can find a dozen points of view to refute and criticize her.

It’s just that human thinking is the most difficult to change. Once a person believes in a certain truth and it has been proven to be the truth many times, he will definitely stick to it, even if this truth only applies to him.

If a few people do not abide by this principle, then there is something wrong with the few people.

Obviously, Zhou Ming is one of the few people in Jiang Ruonan's eyes who does not abide by the rule of "protecting her with his life".

The crime is extremely heinous.

Intolerable.

Even to the point of "damn".

What else can Zhou Ming say about this?

What's more, Jiang Ruonan's cultivation level is so high after not seeing him for just twenty years. I really don't know how he cultivated it.

"Looking at Jiang Ruonan's long hair, purple eyes, and weird appearance, he must have joined some evil sect and practiced some evil sect skills. This is why he practiced so fast, far beyond ordinary people."

"Her physique is extraordinary and her aptitude is outstanding, which is also one of the reasons why she practices so fast."

In short, the Jiang Ruonan of today is definitely not the Jiang Ruonan of the past!

"Now she has shed her weak and harmless disguise and turned into a devil without any scruples. She is the truest version of her now."

They are somewhat similar to his biological parents on Feiyun Mountain.

Zhou Ming vaguely judged: Jiang Ruonan seems to be more powerful.

It's just...heart-eating Gu.

He shook his head, thinking that getting rid of this female devil would probably be a complicated project.

However, he basically confirmed that Jiang Ruonan had no intention of killing him.

If there is, there is no need to be so complicated, and there is no need to talk so much nonsense, just do it directly.

If not, then it's because he has an ulterior motive and wants to get something from Zhou Ming.

As for what you want?

Lingyuan guns, Lingyuan cannons, spiritual energy factories, smelting technology, education models, management models... there are enough good things in Zhenlin City.

There are also tens of thousands of scientists, engineers, and elite talents in various fields, who are coveted by all parties.

For Zhenlin City and even the Hundred Cities Alliance, Zhang Shanhe, the founder of all this, is the core of the core.

No one knows his value.

No one will underestimate his role or ignore his threat.

Even though he is already in his fifties.

Even if he has been behind the scenes for a long time.

He has always been a key target closely watched by all forces.

Therefore, his living situation has become increasingly difficult in recent years.

But Zhou Ming had to struggle to support it, because no one else could support the overall situation except him... especially when the three consecutive leaders of Zhenlin City were assassinated.

He must not fall, he must lead everyone through the most difficult difficulty.

However, after the weaknesses of the Lingyuan Cannon were continuously exposed, the hostile forces from all sides became more and more unscrupulous.

Jiang Ruonan's sudden appearance added another huge variable to the current complicated situation.

However, Zhou Ming was not completely helpless towards Jiang Ruonan.

At least he had a relationship with Jiang Ruonan for five years... although the friendship was not very good.

And he was not the only one in Zhenlin City who had friendship with her.

For example, a large number of the more than fifty students in her two classes, including her good friend Su Yunlong, are still in Zhenlin City.

Therefore, the next day, Zhou Ming asked Su Yuanlong, who served as the vice president of Daxian College, to come over and explain the situation to him.

Su Yuanlong was shocked.

"Jiang Ruonan is back?"

"The cultivation level is extremely high, at least above the solid core stage?"

"He also injured you and controlled you with Gu insects?"

Su Yuanlong asked questions again and again. It was unimaginable that after twenty years of absence, Jiang Ruonan had changed so much when he came back.

"Where is she? I want to see her and ask her why she did this? And brother Jian Baiyi, has anything happened to him following her?"

Su Yuanlong wanted to go find Jiang Ruonan, have a chat, and ask her a few questions.

"do not go!"

Zhou Ming endured the pain in his chest and quickly grabbed him: "If you go like this, aren't you actively seeking death? Jiang Ruonan is a big devil now, and his cultivation level is far higher than that of you and me. If you make her unhappy, she will take you. Wouldn’t his little life be in vain?”

"This... I have a good relationship with her. Will she really kill me?"

Su Yuanlong looked unbelieving.

Zhou Ming pointed to the wound on his chest: "If I hadn't been of some use, she would have killed me. You are useless to her, why can't you kill me?"

this……

Su Yuanlong was unable to refute, so he had to ask: "What should we do?"

"It's almost useless to talk to her about friendship. There are only two kinds of people in her eyes now: those who can be used and those who cannot be used. She will use those who can be used, and those who cannot be used will not take care of them and kill them casually. It's okay, but you must not have the illusion that you are her friend, as she may listen to your fantasy."

"For the current plan, we still have to follow her, try our best to meet her needs, serve her comfortably, and let her get the vain things she wants."

"Brother Yuanlong, I plan to do this..."

In Su Yuanlong's ears, Zhou Ming explained his thoughts and plans.

"Hmm~"

Su Yuanlong nodded repeatedly, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
