“Gu—”
The cry of a night owl was heard from the big tree next to us.
Luo Qingzhou held his breath and hid in a tree hole. He hid for a long time before his soul left his body and flew into the air to observe the situation around him.
Because no one was looking after his body, he didn't dare fly far.
After observing for a while on the treetop and seeing that no one was chasing him, he finally felt relieved and regained his consciousness.
Then he went out of the tree hole and returned to the original cave.
However, he did not lie down. After his physical body sat down in the cave, his soul left his body and flew to a big tree above the cave, continuing to vigilantly observe the situation around him.
When it was dawn.
Sister Dao returned alone, carrying her big knife.
Luo Qingzhou immediately focused his attention and stared behind her. After seeing that no one was following her, he flew back to the cave and regained his consciousness.
Sister Dao entered the cave and saw that he had really returned. She couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Chu Feiyang, you really dare to come back. Aren't you afraid that I will bring that princess here?"
Luo Qingzhou was sitting in the cave, holding a rag and wiping his stick. Hearing this, he said calmly, "Senior Sister won't betray me."
Sister Dao stared at him for a few seconds, put away her knife, walked over to sit opposite him, and asked, "Why did you suddenly cheat and run away?"
Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and said, "If I hadn't run, I would have been tied up and taken away by now, and Senior Sister would be alone here."
Daojie thought about the situation at that time. The woman and the old woman did approach quietly and were ready to take action, but...
"Chu Feiyang, I think that Princess Nangong is very contradictory."
She was puzzled. "She really seemed to want to catch you, and she really hated you, but she also seemed to be very kind to you. Not only did she help you kill without hesitation, but she also helped you destroy the body in the end. She even..."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "What happened?"
Sister Dao said, "She was even prepared to help you take the blame for the murder. She asked me to go back and tell Master that she was the one who killed Senior Sister Yan and Senior Brother He."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this and frowned: "Did she really say that?"
Sister Dao nodded and said, "Yes, you made her face full of soot. She was gritting her teeth in hatred and scolded you terribly, saying that she would tear you into pieces if she caught you. But she soon took out something to help you destroy the body, and then took the initiative to take responsibility for the murder. Chu Feiyang, I'm very curious, what did you do to her? She is a noble princess, and she turned out to be like this. I really don't understand."
Luo Qingzhou was also puzzled: "I told you, I just beat her up a few times in the Black Wood Forest. Nothing else happened."
Sister Dao frowned and fell into deep thought.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked again: "Where are the things on He Yang and Feng Yunsong?"
Sister Dao shrugged her shoulders, looking regretful, and said, "They were all destroyed. She didn't even take the gold coins in the storage bag. The old lady burned them with a blue flame."
Luo Qingzhou immediately looked like he was in pain: "Prodigal daughter!"
Then he added, "By the way, there is another spirit beast on Feng Yunsong's body. Did you see it?"
Sister Dao said, "The spirit beast ring and the spirit beast were destroyed by the old lady. The old lady took a look at the spirit beast inside, suddenly cursed, and then destroyed it directly. We didn't see it. Princess Nangong wanted to see it, but the old lady said she couldn't see it."
Luo Qingzhou felt sorry when he heard this and couldn't help but said, "The spirit beast ring and spirit beast will definitely sell for a good price. If her two guards hadn't appeared, these gold coins and treasures would have belonged to me."
Sister Dao sneered and said, "If you are not afraid of death, then go and take it. Three people died at once this time, and Master will definitely report it to the sect, and the sect will definitely send people to track it down. If you dare to take other people's things, then you can expect to be discovered."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Gold coins are not okay?"
Sister Dao said, "I don't know either. Anyway, the princess didn't care about the gold coins and didn't even look at them."
Luo Qingzhou sighed.
Sister Dao couldn't help but ask, "Chu Feiyang, aren't your 300,000 gold coins enough? I found that every time you come out, you will gain a lot of gold coins, and you will kill people. It turns out that it was the same in Mo City. Every time you go to the Black Wood Forest, you gain a lot. I suspect that you are a robber who specializes in killing and robbing. Do you have a third face? Is the one-eyed bull who is famous in the Yunwu Mountains you?"
Luo Qingzhou put the stick in his hand against her chin and said, "Senior Sister, since you have discovered this secret, do you want to be hit by me once or twice tonight?"
"Take it away! It's so dirty!"
Sister Dao quickly pushed the stick away, took out a handkerchief and wiped her chin.
This guy just used this stick to beat the corpse into pieces. It’s disgusting just thinking about it.
Luo Qingzhou took back the stick and said, "I washed it several times with water, and this stick is very special. It doesn't seem to be stained with blood."
Sister Dao took a look and said solemnly, "Chu Feiyang, this is our first time out and three of us died at once. Have you thought about what to say when we get back?"
Luo Qingzhou put away the stick, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go with what we said before. We were in the same team with Yan Mei. After the quarrel, Yan Mei left alone to find He Yang and the others. Then we don't know what happened next."
Sister Dao frowned and said, "Don't you want to talk about Princess Nangong?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "If we don't tell anyone, the more lies we tell, the easier it will be to reveal our secrets. We will just say we don't know anything. Of course, if Princess Nangong takes the initiative to reveal some information, that would be even better, definitely better than if we tell it ourselves."
Sister Dao hesitated for a moment and said, "Will she take the initiative to help us?"
Luo Qingzhou shrugged and said, "How should I know?"
Sister Dao looked at him and said, "You must know. And you must have had something unspeakable happen to her, otherwise she wouldn't treat you like that."
Luo Qingzhou was too lazy to explain. He looked outside the cave, stood up and said, "Let's go. It's dawn. We still need a monster. By the way, I'm going to pick some nine-leaf grass."
Sister Dao also looked outside the cave.
The darkness receded and it was already light outside.
The two men left the cave and began to search for the monster according to the route indicated on the map.
At noon.
The two finally hunted another monster and completed the mission.
Luo Qingzhou also successfully picked a few nine-leaf clovers. He planned to put them in the acres of medicinal fields in the storage ring to see if they could be planted.
If it is possible to grow them, then we won’t have to come here to pick them every time.
But there is little hope.
Last time, my second brother and the others said that this herb can only grow in a special environment.
Even so, you still have to give it a try.
On their way back, the two continued searching for monsters.
When they were still five or six miles away from the teahouse, they discovered a female deer demon, but the two did not take action.
Because the deer demon had a big belly and seemed to be pregnant, and she fell several times while running away.
Sister Dao prayed, "I hope it won't encounter those greedy warriors."
In fact, many warriors would show mercy when they encounter pregnant monsters here, and it’s not just them two.
It was not yet evening when the two arrived at the teahouse.
Nie Yunrong and Zhang Yuanshan have not come out yet.
There was only one person sitting outside the teahouse.
The person changed into a purple long dress, put on expensive and exquisite jewelry, and sat there drinking tea in a graceful and elegant manner. She was so beautiful that the waiter named Xiaoqi kept stealing glances at her.
Luo Qingzhou stopped and looked around, but did not see Aunt Mu and the old lady.
"They went back first."
Nangong Meijiao raised her head and looked at him.
Of course Luo Qingzhou wouldn't believe her lies, but he still walked over.
He needed to go get the horse.
"Waiter, bring the horse out."
He walked over and threw out a piece of silver.
Unexpectedly, just as the silver was about to fly to the girl named Xiaoqi, a whip suddenly jumped out from the side, instantly swept the silver away, and fell on the table with a "dong" sound.
Nangong Meijiao put away the whip, looked at him coldly and said, "If you don't want the matter to be exposed, come and sit down."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, then walked over with Sister Dao, but did not sit down.
He turned around and looked around, then asked, "What do you want, young lady?"
Since there are outsiders here, she naturally cannot reveal her identity as a princess.
Nangong Meijiao stretched out her slender jade fingers, tapped the table, and ordered in a cold voice: "Sit down."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to sit down.
Sister Dao was about to sit down, but Nangong Meijiao suddenly looked at her and said, "Go sit over there."
Sister Dao was stunned for a moment, but she was not angry. She just went to sit at another table and asked the waiter to bring her a pot of tea. She drank it while looking at the two of them.
Nangong Meijiao turned her head and gave a cold look to the waiter who was standing stupidly beside her.
The waiter also looked at her stupidly.
Immediately, Lao Zhuang's voice came from the room: "Xiao Qi, come in and wash the vegetables!"
"oh oh."
Xiao Qi finally reacted and ran in quickly.
It became quiet outside.
The afternoon sun is a little lazy, and the withered yellow leaves are falling.
Nangong Meijiao drank a few more sips of tea slowly, then raised her head and said, "Tell me, how are you going to repay me?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and asked, "How does the princess want me to repay you?"
Nangong Meijiao stroked the teacup slowly with her jade fingers, thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "Will you give me everything I want?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course not, I only do what I can."
Nangong Meijiao sneered and said, "If I don't help you with this matter, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't think it will be exposed."
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "I think so, because I will tell on you."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
The two sides looked at each other in silence for a while.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Princess, please tell me what you want. I will consider whether I can do it or not."
Nangong Meijiao narrowed her eyes and said, "First, next time you see me, don't run away."
Luo Qingzhou said: "As long as the princess doesn't have bad intentions towards me, I will never run away again."
Nangong Meijiao sneered and said, "Second, from now on, when this princess calls you, you must come whenever she calls."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Try your best."
Nangong Meijiao said: "The third..."
At this point, she stared at him closely: "Tell me your real name."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "I am Chu Feiyang, I will never change my name or surname."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him coldly and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, then stood up and said, "Princess, can I leave now?"
Nangong Meijiao let go of the teacup on the table, looked at him with burning eyes and said, "Fourth, my favorite whip was broken because I was helping you, you have to compensate me."
Luo Qingzhou paused and said, "It's my duty. How much does the princess want?"
Nangong Meijiao stretched out a finger.
Luo Qingzhou said: "One hundred thousand, or..."
Nangong Meijiao said: "One hundred thousand."
Luo Qingzhou fell silent and said nothing more.
Nangong Meijiao said calmly: "After all, it is my favorite whip. Some things are broken, and even if they are repaired, they can never go back to the way they were before. Of course, you can also use other things to compensate. For example, accompany me once a month."
Luo Qingzhou frowned and asked, "How can I accompany you?"
Nangong Meijiao looked at him and said, "Don't think too much. Just accompany me to visit West Lake, go shopping, have a meal or something. It's very simple."
Luo Qingzhou said: "How long do you need to stay with me?"
Nangong Meijiao extended another finger.
Luo Qingzhou asked: "One year?"
Nangong Meijiao smiled indifferently and did not answer. She picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of him, and said, "Give me the answer after you have thought it through. I will give you three days. If you answer wrong again, you will bear the consequences yourself."
After saying that, he stood up, led the horse, shook the whip in his hand, and left humming a song.
Listening carefully, it turned out to be the tune of "Outside the Long Pavilion, Beside the Ancient Road".
Luo Qingzhou stared at her receding figure and was stunned for a moment. Sister Dao came over and said, "Chu Feiyang, you're done."
Luo Qingzhou was puzzled when he heard this: "Why am I finished?"
Sister Dao had a gloating expression on her face: "You are a married man, but you are messing around with other women outside. You have provoked the wrong people. Let's see what you will do in the future."
Luo Qingzhou frowned and said, "I didn't provoke her. She provoked me first. As for what you said about being a playboy, that's even more outrageous. Do you think I will like her, or do you think she will like me?"
Dao Jie immediately looked at him like an idiot: "Chu Feiyang, you... You are usually so smart, why do you suddenly become so stupid when it comes to her? Do you know the real answer to the question she just raised a finger?"
Luo Qingzhou asked: "You know?"
Sister Dao sneered: "Only idiots don't know."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the answer?"
Sister Dao sighed immediately, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, and said, "Sorry, I can't tell you. She should hope that you can understand it yourself, instead of letting others tell you."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I know the answer."
Sister Dao shrugged and said, "Look, you're not that stupid. You just think that she's a princess and you're just a son-in-law, so you feel inferior and don't dare to believe the reality. Or maybe you already knew it, but you just didn't dare to face it because you didn't know what to do."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else. He picked up the tea that she had just taken a sip of and drank it all in one gulp.
The two were silent for a while.
Sister Dao suddenly covered her head and said with a change of color: "Chu Feiyang, this tea seems... poisonous."
"Click, click..."
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
Nangong Meijiao, who had just left, suddenly came back leading the horse.
The two men looked at her and their faces changed.
Nangong Meijiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a smug look on her face: "Chu Feiyang, no matter how cunning and careful you are, you can't escape the palm of my hand. I have said that I will return the humiliation I have suffered from you double!"
Luo Qingzhou and Sister Dao collapsed on the table together.
Nangong Meijiao waited for a while, walked to the table, picked him up, put him on the horse's back, then raised her long legs, mounted the horse, and rode away with him.
