Heaven’s Shadow

Chapter 99: The Girl in the Woods

When returning to the mountain, in front of the Kunlun Sect mountain gate, unsurprisingly with the black dog Ah Tu two people were stopped, but as a miscellaneous disciple Lu Chen could not say anything, Yi Xin just hold tightly Ah Tu, and then silently looked at those few Kunlun Sect guard disciples who blocked them, after a pleading face, those individual guard disciples looked at each other, and then quickly let them go.

"The Kunlun School generally does not allow these cats and dogs to be brought up the mountain, often someone doing so at the mountain gate will be stopped by those guard disciples." While walking on the Kunlun Mountain Road, Yi Xin said slightly smugly to Lu Chen, "but I specially checked the sect rules, this matter is too small, so small that our generations of ancestors simply did not include this in the rules of the sect. And Kunlun Mountain is so big, although there are no demonic beasts, but a variety of small cats in the edge of the mountain range is also really quite a lot, how can it really be banned?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Smart."

Yi Xin stuck out her tongue, smiled, then leaned over and patted the head of Ah Tu who was following her, and sighed: "Actually, those senior brothers know about me, they just look at me poorly. This is good Ah Tu can go up the mountain with me, and my pain was finally not in vain."

Lu Chen lost his smile, and after walking a little further, the two were about to part.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ah Tu habitually followed Lu Chen away again, making Yi Xin so angry that she held Ah Tu, a heartless black dog, and talked all kinds of things, coercing and luring him to go with her. The dog just doesn't appreciate it, and follows Lu Chen as if he is determined.

In the end, the helpless Yi Xin had no choice but to wave goodbye to them with a mournful face. Fortunately, they all lived in Kunlun Mountains now, so Ah Tu could still come to see her anytime.

When Yi Xin walked away, Lu Chen took Ah Tu to his own place. At the same time, he looked at Ah Tu beside him who was excited because he came to a new place, and there was a smile on his face and he was a bit suspicious.

Why did this lame black dog have to follow him? Maybe he could use "instinct" to explain it when he was in the land of confusion, but after so long, including staying with Lao Ma for such a long time, This black dog is still so close to him, it seems that something is not right.

He just thought about it, Lu Chen still did not come up with a reason, so in the end he still laughed at himself thinking that maybe they're the birds of the same flock…

The handyman disciples are the largest but lowest-status part of the huge population of the Kunlun Sect. Lu Chen is one of the handyman disciples, so it is impossible for a formal disciple like Yi Xin to live on Stone Pan Mountain, not to mention the elite disciples like He Yi can have their own Dongfu*.

The place where he lives is in a remote mountain valley some distance away from Stone Pan Valley, where many rows of houses had been built specifically for the handyman disciples to live. The house belonging to Lu Chen is an unobtrusive house, which is not big, with a front door and a back window, grey walls and black tiles, and looks a bit depressing.

After a few moments, Lu Chen walked in, only to see that there were simple tables, chairs and a bed in the room. Apart from that, there was almost no other furniture.

"Woof Woof" Ah Tu barked twice, then directly jumped on the bed, lying over there grinning at Lu Chen, as if he could not stop smiling.

"Stupid dog ......" Lu Chen looked at Ah Tu with a disgusted face, came over and slapped its butt, drove Ah Tu down, and said under his breath, "You are dirty, let me sleep."

"Woof woof!" Ah Tu wagged his head and tail, and then sniffed here and there in the house, after a while, he ran to the door and got down on the ground.

The next day, Yi Xin came over, and also brought some of the things that Ah Tu loves to eat. The black dog was so happy and jumped up and down, "woof woof" barking can be heard from far away.

After feeding Ah Tu, Yi Xin asked Lu Chen what he had eaten for Ah Tu yesterday. Lu Chen confidently said that there are so many mountains and forests around here, and he drove Ah Tu to the forest to find something to eat, and came back naturally when he was full.

Yi Xin was stunned for a while, almost crying while hugging Ah Tu, but the dog Ah Tu also had no conscience, he just knew that he was wagging his tail like a heartless one, and when Yi Xin is affectionate Ah Tu is affectionate, but once Yi Xin want to take him away, Ah Tu will resist death.

After several attempts, Yi Xin finally gave up and secretly decided to come here a few more times in the future to take good care of this poor puppy who has no father or mother.

For Yi Xin's feelings, Lu Chen directly ignored it, while Ah Tu fawned on him desperately when he had food, and ignored it as if he was full, with no morals at all.

The days went by day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the second batch of spiritual plants to start planting. Lu Chen continued to live between the house and the spiritual field. The difference is that now there is often an extra one by his side. A happy and active black dog.

The fellow disciples were of course a bit surprised by the sudden addition of a dog to Lu Chen's side, but this was not a big deal anyway, so no one bothered with it.

Ah Tu followed Lu Chen all day long. When Lu Chen was working in the spiritual field, he wandered around in Stone Pan Valley, sometimes fleeing into the mountains, and sometimes lying on the fields to sleep. In the Kunlun sect, at least Ah Tu's life is very comfortable.

Go to sleep when he is full, play when he wakes up, sleep and eat when he is tired from playing, the gods of pleasure can not compare.

A period of time passed like this, and one day at noon, Ah Tu left Stone Pan Valley and ran into a forest on the edge of Stone Pan Valley. In the past few days, it has been running around everywhere, and has almost figured out the terrain around the Stone Pan Valley, and has left traces of "urine" in many places. The forest in front of me is located in the north of Stone Pan Valley, and it is the last piece of land that has not been explored.

Ah Tu stepped into this woodland full of confidence, patrolling the spiritual land as in the past, sniffing everywhere. The woods are very quiet, occasionally there are birdsong, and he don't know where it comes from the dense branches. The sun shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves, illuminating the flat path in the forest.

Ah Tu sniffed the ground all the way, sometimes jogging, sometimes walking slowly forward, unknowingly he has gone a long way.

Suddenly, in a somewhat dark corner of the forest, a blurred shadow flickered behind the dense foliage of the trees.

The two ears of Ah Tu suddenly perked up, stopping sharply, and then turned around abruptly, revealing a low roar of "woo woo" in his mouth, and showing a bit of viciousness in his eyes.

But there was nothing behind it, only the empty woods.

Ah Tu stared at the empty forest for a while, gradually relaxed, there seemed to be some doubt in his eyes, but still turned around and continued to walk forward.

After a few steps, suddenly a sound came from its side, as if someone suddenly stepped on the ground in the forest, stepping on a dead branch.

When the "crack" sound came, Ah Tu jumped up and bared his teeth in that direction, showing his sharp fangs.

In that direction, behind a bush, there was a sudden shaking of branches and leaves, and then from behind that branch, slowly emerged a figure.

An unusually beautiful but somewhat cold little girl's face appeared behind the bushes, eyes some strange looking at the black dog not far away.
