Ever since that incident happened that day, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't go to that street for a whole week.
She hid at home, bought another notebook, and began to write things in it that no one could understand except herself. She burned each book after she finished it.
But to be honest, she is not too worried about her identity being exposed now. Ji Qiu has been quite considerate so far. There have been several times when Ji Qiu personally helped Yuan Yuanyuan conceal her identity. She also saw that Ji Qiu did not want her identity to be exposed.
With such an elusive monster backing her up, Yuan Yuanyuan felt more confident. At least she knew that her identity would not be exposed until the plot developed to a later stage. As the little monster "Yuan Yuanyuan", she could still live a free and easy life.
Of course, even in the later stages, she might not reveal her identity... Unless the painter really can't paint anymore, Yuan Yuanyuan believes that her vest is still very tight.
Just like that, a week later, Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to continue to be lazy, but the big monsters over there couldn't sit still, so they used the small mirror to inform Yuan Yuanyuan that it was time to go to work... Yuan Yuanyuan had no choice, she was not one to slack off all year round, so she decided to go over after work in the evening.
She sat there watching Si Qun, who was holding a long brush with bright cinnabar on it and painting on a white porcelain vase. Under his brush, a beautiful plum blossom gradually took shape.
Yuan Yuanyuan leaned over to look at it for a long time, and finally whispered: "Qun'er... I didn't expect you to have this skill."
Si Qun'er seemed not to have heard Yuan Yuanyuan's words and continued to draw with the pen. His pen-holding posture was very attractive and he looked like an expert. Yuan Yuanyuan secretly tried to draw with her hands behind her back and when she made the gesture like a chicken claw, she secretly put her hands back.
She looked down at the four groups again.
For some reason Siqun was particularly serious. When he took the pen, there was no trace of shyness on his face as usual. He was very serious, and his beautiful eyes were fixed on the bottle without a single slackness.
Although Siqun is usually very shy, like a little girl, once she is serious about doing something, she is very serious and does not show any effeminate nature at all.
Yuan Yuanyuan even doubted that if a female gangster showed up at this time, none of the four groups would run away...
After a while, he finished the painting. A very beautiful plum blossom appeared on the bottle, lifelike. He blew on the bottle and put it aside, then turned around and saw Yuan Yuanyuan next to him. Within a second, his face turned red again.
… Yuan Yuanyuan took two steps back. Although Siqun had worked with Yuan Yuanyuan for such a long time, he was still a little shy. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that he might never be able to talk to her openly.
Looking at Siqun who had become shy again, Yuan Yuanyuan had an idea inexplicably in her mind...
If I give him something to do anytime and anywhere... will he always have such a serious expression
puff…
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why she burst out crying first. She turned around and walked out the door with the wine in her hand. She passed by a few little monsters, who flew onto her skirt, lay on it, or pulled at the hem of her skirt.
She discovered that these little monsters that usually flew around and lit up the lamps particularly liked bright colors, especially her red skirt, so every time she walked in the corridor, there would always be a group of little monsters crawling under her skirt, causing her to recently buy safety pants to wear.
When she arrived at the guest's door, she lifted her skirt and shook off the messy little monsters hanging on it. She pulled down the particularly stubborn ones by their little heads, then knocked on the door gently and said softly, "Hello, is Lord Yin in there? I'm Hongxiu, the wine delivery man in the tavern."
The room was quiet for a while, and then a voice came out, "Come in."
Yuan Yuanyuan pushed the door open with the wine in her hand, then pushed the door closed with her backhand, walked to the table with her head lowered, and brought the messy things on the tray to it.
She lowered her head when the wine was served, but Yuan Yuanyuan was still very active. The guests in the room were talking about something, so she listened to a few words.
"The situation at the Sanqing Taoist Temple has been very unstable recently..."
"I heard that they called a lot of people over there, and several famous Taoist sects sent people over to support them."
"Heh, do they still need support? Isn't their sect the most popular one recently?"
"Hey, speaking of this, I remembered, does anyone know who Faning is? The Sanqing Taoist Temple has kept him well hidden, and no one knows his real name."
"Don't gloat over other people's misfortunes... If that big monster really shows up, we may not be able to have peace here..."
Yuan Yuanyuan put everything on the tray on the table, then added some incense to the incense burner in the corner, picked up the tray, and walked out with her head lowered. She didn't dare to raise her head from beginning to end.
From what they said... Sanqing Taoist Temple probably felt that they couldn't handle it alone, so they called in a lot of friendly forces for support.
And it was just as she thought... As expected, Faning's pseudonym had not yet been revealed. Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this was not only due to the credit of his sect, but also Ji Qiu's.
She even had another idea now. She thought... maybe even the Taoist priests didn't know who this "Fanning" was. All of this was concealed by Ji Qiu. After all, she had concealed it in such an incredible way. Now no one knew who this "Yuan" was. They were fooled around. Maybe the protagonist over there had an even more incredible way of concealing it...
The top ten of the Taoist competition were revealed, but the tenth place was a little girl who had nothing to do with Faning. The outside world was wondering where the real Faning had gone, but Yuan Yuanyuan felt that the little girl was strange.
But she herself was too lazy to verify these things. After all, they were too far away, and as a monster, she didn't know how to verify them.
The weather was very good that day, with bright sunshine and clear skies. Yuan Yuanyuan got up from the table, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, looked at the weather outside, walked over and opened the door.
She had a half-finished piece of clothing next to her. The collar and other parts were already finished, the only part that was not finished was the buttons.
The clothing store has always been open at night, but everyone knows that at night... this is the infant area, and the situation is completely different from her side. There are not even slightly ferocious big monsters here, basically all are children. There are few people walking on the street at night, and even the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons does not come here.
So the nights here are... very peaceful. What happened that day was definitely an accident.
Yuan Yuanyuan's store has never been open during the day, so for more than a month, there has not been a single serious customer coming in. Today is the first time she opened the store.
She sat on a chair, looked at the rhino horn she had found that day, and took out a bunch of tools, wanting to grind it into buttons to sew on clothes...
"Hey? When did a store open here?" Gradually, the monsters on the street noticed this store. When they usually came here, the door was always closed. They thought there was no one here. This was the first time they saw the door open.
"Hello, is there anyone inside?" A monster poked his head in and took a look.
… Then he saw a man in black clothes, handsome enough to be a little scary, sitting in the shadows, holding an awl in his hand, and hitting something white with his hand…
"Pah, pah..."
A strong demonic aura can be smelled from the white thing. It is obvious that it is not an ordinary material and is most likely a part of a monster's body.
The shop owner heard the voice, slowly raised his head, looked at the person at the door, and said in a very low voice, "Ah... Hello, what do you want to buy..."
As he said this, the thing in his hand was broken and split in the middle with a "pop" sound.
“… No, no, no, I’m fine! I took the wrong path!” The monster at the door screamed, turned around and ran away.
… What are you doing? Why are you leaving in the middle of a sentence? Do you have any manners
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the cracked rhino horn in her hand, picked up a smaller awl, and prepared to punch a few holes in it.
"Boss, did you just scare away a customer?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the door. "This is the first time you open the door during the day."
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't even look up, but she knew it was the little girl named Tang Shi. She picked up the newly bought tea kettle, poured her a cup of hot water, and then asked, "Where's Qiu Ling? Why didn't she come with you today?"
"She has to make up for the lessons later." Tang Shi said. When she wanted to continue, she suddenly heard the door being pushed open again, so she quickly whispered: "Behave well, don't scare people away this time."
She turned around and saw a woman in white standing at the door. She immediately said sweetly, "Hello, what would you like to buy?"
The woman at the door didn't say anything, but just looked at Yuan Yuanyuan quietly.
"This isn't a guest... This is an old friend." Yuan Yuanyuan put the rhino horn on the table, stood up and said in a relaxed tone, "Stay here for a while, I'm going to talk to the elder sister. Don't touch my clothes, or I'll break your hands when I come back."
"I know, I know, your girlfriend, right?" Tang Shi smiled ambiguously, "She's pretty, why don't you introduce her to me?"
"Little brat." Yuan Yuanyuan didn't say much, turned around and walked out with the woman in white.
The two walked to a tree in the yard. The tree was bare without any leaves. The woman in white looked at the tree for a while and suddenly said lightly: "You seem to be in a good mood recently. I thought you might not like to deal with this little monster."
"Don't ask about my affairs. My private affairs have nothing to do with you. We agreed on this at the beginning. Just tell me what you want to say." Yuan Yuanyuan said.
"Recently, there are many monsters from the outer city who want to sneak into City C." The woman in white said, "We don't know the exact time or the specific plan, we only know this news."
"Is it serious?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.
"It's very serious." The woman in white said, "Not many people know about this, only a few of us in high positions. We dare not act rashly, but we are really powerless and can only come to you for help. Our request is not high, we just want you to protect the safety of this side. This area is where the little monsters stay. If you see strange monsters, please drive them out or kill them."
"Wait." Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly said, "I saw a foreign monster last week..."
"Yes, that is a monster that sneaked in." said the woman in white.
Oh... I was wondering why I was sent here... Why did you suddenly ask me to come back... Yuan Yuanyuan's heart suddenly changed to a dead fish eye expression, but on the surface she still said coldly: "So... I need to stay here often recently?"
The woman in white did not deny it. She just bowed slightly and gave a small jade pendant to Yuan Yuanyuan. After Yuan Yuanyuan took it, she disappeared.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the jade pendant and felt a terrible headache. She turned around and went back into the house. She saw Tang Shi sitting there playing with an awl. When she saw her come in, she asked, "What kind of monster is that sister? She smells so good."
"Lotus demon, that smell is lotus."
She sat down and fiddled with the buttons, but she could no longer calm down.
Shit... I suddenly felt like I was entrusted with a terrifying mission...
