C154 Snow Heart's past

"I …"

Being hugged and hearing the word 'past', her body trembled slightly.

Qin Shi's words seemed to have touched upon the hidden injuries in her heart. That hidden disease was something that made her feel uneasy just thinking about it.

Puff!

At this moment, two sharp claws tore at Qin Shi's back. A terrifying force forcefully tore off the dragon's scales, breaking apart his ribs.

Qin Shi's ribs were shattered, and he felt as though his internal organs were about to topple mountains and overturn the seas. His blood was like boiling lava as it exploded in his mouth and he spat it out.

Blood, a pink dress with a heart of snow.

Feeling disconcerted, Qin Xuexin supported Qin Shi as she snorted with tears blossoming: "How are you?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss …" Qin Shi drew in a breath of cold air. He moved forward a few steps, but his hand that was holding Xue Xin did not waver the slightest. "You won't die, so don't interrupt. Are you agreeing or not? Seeing how this young master is about to die, can you satisfy my small ego? "

"Don't say anymore, don't say anymore. I promise you, even I promise you …" Nestling in Qin Shi's embrace, she looked at the shocking wound and felt an indescribable pain in her heart as though she had been cut by a knife. She did not understand how Qin Shi could remain calm in this kind of life and death situation.

Qin Shi seemed to be satisfied and did not waste any more time talking to Xue Xin.

He also knew that now was not the time to joke. The reason he had done that just now was because he didn't want Qin Xuexin to worry. Moreover, he was really curious about what kind of external force was able to make this girl always wear her veil and show herself to others.

What was that past?

Looking around, there were seven or eight blood puppets behind him, seven to the left and eight to the right, with the rest in front.

"Damn it, all escape routes are sealed off. It seems like it's impossible for us to leave the blood lake and return to the open area." Rubbing the corner of his mouth, Qin Shi sized him up in his heart. He quickly thought about how to leave this place.

At this moment, his peripheral vision fell upon the cave beneath the cliff of the blood lake.

"Got it!"

In a flash of inspiration, Qin Shi turned around and hugged her tightly. "Hold me tight."

Qin Xuexin was slightly surprised, but she did not ask any further. She placed Qin Shi's tiger body on her jade hands and nestled in Qin Shi's embrace.

"Hehe, it's good to always be so gentle." The sudden warmth in front of his chest made Qin Shi's heart skip a beat. He immediately revealed a faint smile as he looked at the cave not too far away. After calculating the distance, Qin Shi's Netherworld Sword stirred up a strong wind above the blood lake.

Swish!

Nine sword lights swept out, cutting through the thorns and thorns. One strike knocked back several blood puppets that were blocking the entrance of the cave.

"Now is the time!" As the blood puppet retreated, Qin Shi abruptly widened his eyes and dashed forward. He leapt up several times and stepped on the blood that splashed out from the lake as he charged into the cave.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xuexin was stunned: "You want to enter the cave?"

In her opinion, this kind of behavior was insane. If the cave was located in the deepest part of the blood lake, wouldn't that put her in a desperate situation?

Qin Shi naturally understood what Xue Xin was thinking, but right now, he was gambling.

Previously, he had seen this group of blood puppets soak in the blood lake, so he had bet that this group of blood puppets could not leave the blood lake. If that was really the case, as long as they could rush into the cave, they would be completely safe. If they lost the bet, they would be in dire straits.

Although this kind of behavior was very crazy, he could only take a gamble right now.

Gambling. There was still a sliver of hope. If he didn't gamble, he would only be dismembered alive by the dozens of blood puppets in the end.

He was going to die.

The word "desperate" had long since become Qin Shi's endorsement.

However, it was clear that Qin Shi's gamble was right. He carried Xue Xin and flew into the cave.

The moment they entered the cave, a group of blood puppets pounced on them. However, when they neared the edge of the lake, they all stopped in their tracks, as if they had met something terrifying. They just stood outside the cave, constantly roaring at the two.

"Phew …"

Seeing that, Qin Shi let out a long sigh and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. He revealed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that this young master has made the right bet. This group of bastards must have the support of the blood lake, so they will not be able to leave its range. "

"So that's how it is."

Qin Xue's heart was suddenly enlightened. She looked at Qin Shi with a strange gaze.

This method of risking one's life for a gamble was too crazy in her eyes, but in Qin Shi's eyes, it was like a common occurrence.

For a moment, she gradually became curious towards Qin Shi and thought puzzledly, "What exactly did this person experience in the past? can actually face life and death so calmly? "

Outside the cave, the blood puppet helplessly began to slowly fade away.

When the blood puppet left, Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately felt that Xue Xin was staring at him with a strange gaze, and scratched his head awkwardly: "Why are you looking at this young master like that? "Could it be that I've fallen in love with Ben Young Master?"

Unexpectedly, after being teased by Qin Shi, Xue Xin's expression quickly changed. She became cautious and vigilant as she said, "I won't fall in love with you."

"…"

Qin Shi was a bit confused by this rapid transformation.

However, he didn't care about it at all. He propped himself up from the ground and sat down next to her, leaning on the cliff wall of the cave. He looked down at his injured back, feeling pain in his heart, "Hiss, hiss …" This group of bastards, it's f * cking painful! "

"How are you?"

This time, Qin Xuexin did not move her body. Instead, she tore her dress into strips of cloth and tried to bandage Qin Shi's wound.

After Qin Shi had bandaged his wounds, he moved his body in a simple manner. Only then did the pain lessen, and he gave Xue Xin a charming glance, saying, "Hey, isn't it time for you to fulfill my promise? You can't just let this young master lose half his life, right? "

"What kind of agreement?"

She was stunned, but there was confusion in her eyes.

"Damn, are you really dumb?" Are you intentionally playing dumb with me? " Qin Shi looked displeased as he heard that, "Didn't we agree that as long as we are lucky enough to survive this, you will tell me about your past."

Past!

These two words echoed heavily in her mind.

She gritted her teeth and her eyes turned red. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Qin Shi felt a little awkward when he saw her pitiful appearance. "Hey, what kind of expression is this?" What he couldn't stand was the tears of the girl, he shook his head, "If you don't like to say it, then forget it, it's like this young master is bullying you."

"No …." I promised you that I would. "

But at this time, Qin Xuexin shook her head. Her eyes were a little unfocused, as if she was struggling with life and death. "Only, I don't know. I should start from the beginning."

"Isn't that simple? Just from novels, your parents or something like that. " Qin Shi laughed very casually.

Unexpectedly, these casual words deeply touched the heartstrings of her heart.

"I... I don't have a home. "

Qin Xuexin took a deep breath and her eyes blurred as they rotated for half a circle.

"Huh?" Qin Shi was stunned and did not speak for a while.

Time seemed to freeze. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xuexin let out a long sigh, "When I was young, I was very happy before I was seven. I was like any other child, having a blissful family. My parents doted on me, and I was the apple of their eyes."

Qin Shi listened quietly.

"However, all of this completely changed when I was seven." There was a hint of desolation in her voice, as if she was reminiscing about something that she didn't want to remember the most. "When I was seven, the moon was full and our family had a blissful dinner together."

"But that night, a group of people suddenly charged into my house and killed my parents and relatives one by one … After killing my entire family, they will die right in front of me. " When Qin Xuexin said this, she curled up her body and shivered.

Clang! Clang!

Hearing that, Qin Shi gritted his teeth. He had never thought that such a tragedy would happen when Qin Xuexin was young.

"Who are they?" Qin Shi clenched his fists.

Qin Xuexin shook her head. "I don't know. I just remember that they wore blood-red long robes, like devils that would kill without blinking. I still can't forget their hideous faces."

Qin Shi did not say anything.

"However, one day, I will definitely find these people and make them pay with their blood." Qin Xuexin clenched her fist tightly, and her voice carried a chill.

Waves of might blew at the cave entrance.

In that short moment, it seemed as though several centuries had passed.

Qin Shi looked at the haggard Xue Xin and finally understood why she was always so strong. He thought to himself, "No wonder she always wears a mask and pretends to be strong by herself …" So it turns out that when she was young, she had such a tragic past. "

Now, even if Qin Shi was even more shocked, it was still just a few paragraphs of words.

He knew that he would never be able to understand what it meant to watch his family die tragically in front of him.

That kind of pain was not something that could be understood just by imagining it.

"Because of this, everyone in the city has informed me that I'm the bane of all the relatives and friends …" Qin Xuexin's heart was filled with self-mockery as she shook her head sympathetically. "Indeed, my family has been slaughtered, but I am the only one who survived. I don't understand why I have to experience such agony before death."

"At that time, I wanted to die. A hundred deaths." A tear rolled down her pale face. She lifted her head slightly and looked at the cloud of mist outside the cave. She humphed weakly. "But, when I truly face death, I'm afraid. I'm terrified …"

Qin Shi was slightly shocked.

That's right, when faced with life and death, who would be able to smile?

What's more, at that time, Xue Xin was only a seven-year-old little girl?

It was really hard to imagine how a seven-year-old little girl could have endured until today.

"You can't be blamed …" He wanted to comfort her, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, Qin Shi discovered that the words he had organized were pale and powerless.

The Heavens were truly fair.

He had given the girl a face that could cover the entirety of the city, but had also given her this infuriating experience.

Depressed, only dejected, Qin Shi lowered his head.

However, what he did not know was that the massacre of his family was just the beginning of a miserable life.
