Bai Huang's signature trap array appeared in the City Lord's Mansion this time.
The silver threads all over the sky turned the city lord's mansion into a coiled hole, and the assassin would most likely become the Tang monk who broke into it, and I was the charming spider spirit waiting for him with my legs crossed and my clothes lifted.
I walked around the city lord's mansion, and basically understood the layout of Baihuang. Although it has been greatly improved compared to last time, it is still full of flaws. I roughly simulated a few routes that the assassin might take in my mind, thought about it for a while, and then went to take a bath.
In the bathroom, I found that Heyue hadn't opened the cork to drain the bath water in the bathtub. There are a few bright red flower petals floating on the still clear water, and the dense water vapor carries a fragrance different from spices. The poison-like fragrance stirs every nerve, and every breath here seems to be a luxury.
Looking at the bath water that He Yue soaked in, I couldn't help but think of the people of Yuxi City.
Yuxi City is poor. Especially the people who had just moved from Skystar City, they had no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies, and they couldn't take a bath for ten days and a half months, and they were all dirty from head to toe. As the city lord of Yuxi City, I must lead the people below to be diligent and thrifty, and there must be no waste. This traditional virtue must be continuously carried forward in Yuxi City!
Just like the water in the bathtub in front of you, it is almost free of dirt and dust, so clean that you can drink it.
If you remove the cork now, they will flow away, which is waste.
How could such a thing happen!
For Yuxi City, I poured some hot water into the water to adjust the temperature, then took off my clothes and walked in resolutely.
The hot water that Heyue used to scrub my whole body once submerged my body, pulling out all the coldness in my skin.
In this faint fragrance, I also obtained the sublimation of my soul.
When returning to the house in a bathrobe, Bai Huang was talking about his glorious childhood experience with several people present:
"When I was young, I threatened my housekeeper to take me to the city to play without telling my father. I didn't bring any guards with me that day, but the housekeeper got anxious halfway and ran to the latrine and asked me to wait at the door of the toilet. It happened that there was a salesman that day. The old man from Tangyuan passed by carrying a load, so I ran away with him."
"But I didn't have any money in my pocket at the time, so I sold candied lotus root for him for a long time. It wasn't me who boasted at that time, the cutest cutie in the sea of clouds, it was me! There was me standing there as a model, and passers-by paid for it one after another. The old man was very moved, and gave me ten sticks of candied lotus roots as a reward. If it weren’t for those little kids watching me while biting their fingers, I would have eaten it all by myself. What should I say in the end? When the old man closed the stall and left, There were also three or four big and three rough people running over, saying that the master wanted me back. Those little kids who ate my candied lotus root shouted, sister, run, they are notorious villains."
"Hey, do we need them to remind me? How smart am I, Bai Huang, to slap my thigh right away—if my father finds out that I'm missing, will I still need these strangers who don't know me? Turned upside down. These people looked bad when they saw it, so I went down the mountain like a tiger, with a black tiger's heart, and then I beat them like a tiger with wings, making them run away with their heads in their arms. The last big man knelt down in front of me crying Weeping and saying, 'Please forgive me. We were wrong. No one dares to take a girl like you who is sold as a child bride'. As a result, I beat her up again."
Felita listened most seriously. Compared to others, she probably didn't have the kind of childhood, so she was very interested in these things.
Alaiya showed a faint smile, probably remembering the time when I was in the city with me before.
After finishing speaking, Bai Huang realized that I was back, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"What, did something good happen?"
I replied:
"No."
Bai Huang looked disgusted:
"Then why are you laughing so disgustingly?"
I touched my cheek and said:
"I've heard that what you see in your heart is what you see in others. It's probably the same for you."
Bai Huang picked up the pillow and threw it towards me, just like when he was in the sea of clouds.
This time I grabbed the pillow easily and threw it back. Naturally, Bai Huang shot again, but I easily dodged it, and the pillow directly slapped He Yue's face. The originally peaceful scene suddenly turned into a shocking pillow fight. Snow-white pillows came and went in the air, and a group of people ran around the room in the middle of the night. Fortunately, there were no neighbors around, otherwise it would be an extremely serious nuisance event.
By the end of the fight, most of the people were lying on the bed panting.
Bai Huang threw the pillow on me, stomped on her little feet, put her hands on her hips and said:
"Hmph. At this level... you're still not my defeat."
After finishing speaking, he also sat on the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, rolled to his own bed and lay down, saying:
"I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy. Isn't it possible that there will be assassins tonight? Be careful."
Obviously you had the most fun just now, okay
Alayya put the sword next to the pillow, and lay down on her back, covering herself with the quilt. Although his eyes were closed, he still maintained a high level of vigilance. Felita looked at me pitifully, and after making sure that I would not sleep with her, she went back to her bed alone in frustration.
Only He Yue suddenly came to my side before going to bed, closed her eyes and sniffed gently.
Then, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at me ambiguously, and blinked his eyes.
I pretended not to look away.
He Yue also obediently went back to sleep, and whispered good night in my ear before going to bed.
I blew out the candle and went back to my place and lay down. Alaiya gave me a part of the quilt to cover, but her quilt was already too big, so I still kept a relatively long distance from her. It was cold and windy outside, but it was quite warm inside. The charcoal fire was shimmering, emitting heat silently, and because of the large number of people, there was no feeling of cold at all.
I was lying on the bed, and suddenly thanked the assassin a little bit.
If it weren't for her actions tonight, the scenes in front of me probably wouldn't have happened, right
Three girls and a Heyue of unknown gender fell asleep around me, but I couldn't sleep anymore. I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling, feeling a little emotional for a while.
It is said that although the world is big, where is home, but in the end, it is my hometown where the heart is at ease.
