Feng Luoer didn't even blink, and said with a grin, "Yes!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao fell silent.
Miaojiang…
An extremely mysterious area in the vast land of China...
Compared to the many empires in the vast land of China, Miaojiang has no country but is made up of many tribes. Because it is located in a marginal area and its philosophy of life is very different from the mainstream, most people would classify it as a region outside of "Middle Earth"...
even…
Many radicals even compare Miaojiang with barbarians and look down on them. The reason given by these people is that Miaojiang has chaotic ethics and no shame - Miaojiang women wear bold and revealing clothes, which arouses people's reverie. After coming to the Middle Earth, they have been called "witches" more than once. Moreover, things like inbreeding, which are considered to be treasonous by people in the "Middle Earth", often happen there...
But... if you look at it rigorously, you will find that the claims of these radicals are completely untenable, because the people of Miaojiang are fundamentally different from the barbarians!
Compared to the bloodthirsty, greedy, and capricious nature of the barbarians, the Miaojiang region is at most open-minded, but it has nothing to do with those slanderous words. Even scholars who really understand Miaojiang will understand that it is the birthplace of magical arts such as witchcraft and sorcery... There are also rumors that Miaojiang is the "land of serving gods". The Miaojiang people of all generations have been serving a top god, but over the years, no one knows whether the Miaojiang god really existed or is just an imaginary totem...
"Hmm..."
For some reason, after hearing that Feng Luo'er was from Miaojiang, Chu Tianxiao actually felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart, as if... he had been there before? Or... he had some connection with that place
For a moment, he was somewhat dazed...
"What? You look down on us Miao people too? Do you think we are the same as those barbarians?"
Seeing Chu Tianxiao suddenly fall silent, Feng Luoer's smile faded, her eyes narrowed, and she asked with a little dissatisfaction.
"... How is that possible?" Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao quickly refocused his thoughts. "The Miao people are also members of the human race. Those who stand at the top and look down on us are mostly ignorant people. What they say is nothing more than sensationalism... How can the Miao people be the same as the barbarians? Such remarks are pure nonsense..."
After he finished speaking, he was inexplicably nervous, and his speech speed was much faster than usual...
Feng Luoer's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yeah! As expected of you, you are the young master of Big Brother Xueyan. You are knowledgeable and not pedantic. I really didn't follow the wrong person! Hehehe!"
"Heh... I'm fine. I just don't know, Miss Feng..."
"Young Master, just call me Luo'er." Feng Luo'er smiled sweetly. If it were someone else, they might have other thoughts, but to Chu Tianxiao, it seemed nothing... It was as if he knew very well that Miao girls were like this, and they would not have any private affairs. Besides, this was his own dog-leg, and it would be awkward to add the word "girl"...
As for Xueyan, it seems that he has learned something about Miaojiang during this period of time, and he did not show any strange expression...
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao nodded and continued, "In that case... Luo'er, as a person from Miaojiang, why did you come to the Central Plains for no reason? As far as I know, people from Miaojiang don't go out easily, right?"
"Hmph... I was forced out." Feng Luoer curled her lips and said, "Two years ago, an important man passed by the village where I live and wanted to take me as his concubine. I didn't agree because I saw so many women around him and they were ugly. He brought a group of subordinates with him at that time, so I didn't force him... Later, the villagers told me that the man was an emperor! They wanted to fight for wealth and fame, so they wanted to tie me up and offer me to the man as a concubine. I didn't want to, so I used the 'sleeping insect' to knock them all out, and ran away by myself..."
After Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, Xue Yan took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes: "Is there such a thing?"
"Hehe, Brother Xueyan, are you jealous?" Feng Luoer laughed and came forward, holding her hands behind her back, showing an intimate gesture... Xueyan's expression changed slightly, his eyes drifted away, and he snorted, "I just think those people are hateful! What does it have to do with you?"
"Hehe... Brother Xueyan is just jealous!" Feng Luoer laughed, "Don't worry, Brother Xueyan, that man is so ugly, Luo won't let him touch even a hair of hers, and you are so handsome, if you are willing, Luo will dress up beautifully tonight and wait for you..."
"... That's enough for you two..."
Chu Tianxiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he quickly waved his hand to interrupt the two people's show of affection, and then asked Feng Luoer some details about "the emperor", but she didn't know much either, and only had a few words...
However, even so, Chu Tianxiao has roughly deduced a conclusion that gives him a headache...
"… Just like before! The Big Loser System is just like before! Is it the rhythm that every lackey will mess with the right prince?" Chu Tianxiao sighed in his heart, but it was just a joke, and he turned his mind back to Xueyan: "Alright. Let's talk about you, Xueyan, why did you come here suddenly?"
"Yes, Young Master, please allow me to report." Xue Yan said respectfully, "I came here because I heard that Young Master has arrived in the Savage Land, so I came to invite Young Master to take charge of the Savage River Basin."
"Secondly... I have encountered a problem and I am here to ask the young master to solve it..."
He hesitated in the second sentence, but Chu Tianxiao had guessed something and smiled faintly, "What's so embarrassing about this? Since you call me Young Master, I will naturally not treat you unfairly!"
"So, let's set off now and head to the Savage River Basin."
After saying this, Xueyan knelt on one knee and said solemnly: "Yes!"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the field, attracting the attention of the three people. It was Ling Shang'er who had been trapped in the blood claws who made the cry!
"Chu Tianxiao...you...you let me go! Let me go now!"
“… Oh, I forgot about this guy…” Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao slowly took a step forward. Ling Shang’er trembled and said quickly: “Chu…Chu Tianxiao, you can’t kill me! I, I am the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you kill me, then… then… then it’s over!”
Chu Tianxiao heard this and smiled: "Oh, a bitch like you, even killing you is too dirty. Don't worry... I won't kill you, because keeping a woman like you by the side of the Crown Prince may have a miraculous effect at any time... Of course, it's impossible for me to let you go just like that."
As he said that, he turned to look at Feng Luoer, "Luoer, you came from Miaojiang and are proficient in Gu magic. Is there a way to erase her memory of our encounter?"
"Yes, yes... but the 'Memory Obliterating Gu' is very precious, and there is only one... Do we really want to use it on this woman?" Feng Luo'er hesitated, and Xue Yan also said: "Young Master, even if her memory is obliterated, Luo Bingqing is dead, so this matter... I'm afraid it will still be 'unrealistic'."
Although he had just arrived and didn't fully understand the situation, he knew very well who Ling Shang'er was, so he also vaguely guessed who Chu Tianxiao's opponent was and what Chu Tianxiao wanted to do...
"Oh... that's no problem." After saying this, Chu Tianxiao looked at Ling Shang'er with a teasing smile on his face, "If there's anything we don't understand, she will help us make it right!"
“… I see!” Xue Yan’s face suddenly showed a trace of realization and admiration, and then Chu Tianxiao waved his hand: “It was originally an idle chess piece, and I didn’t intend to delay it for long. But I adapt to circumstances… If I hadn’t heard from you that the group of people down the mountain had been infected by Luo’er’s sleeping Gu, the fight just now would not alarm them… Then, I wouldn’t have thought of making this move.”
Chu Tianxiao said leisurely: "I came to the barbarian land to establish a career, but now it seems that there are too many constraints to use ordinary means. I have no choice but to use some unusual means..."
"... When we go to the Savage River Basin, we really have to work hard to lose money."
With a sigh, he turned around and waved his hand: "Go ahead! Don't be polite to this scheming woman! It doesn't matter if her consciousness is damaged or something else, just don't kill her!"
"Yes, young master!" The two agreed, and then...
A series of howling sounds rang out one after another!
“—You! What are you doing! Stop… Stop!—Ugh!”
(ps: Well, the reward mechanism for being a lackey will be explained later. There will be no reward for verbal promises.)
