Chapter 60: Silence or be beaten?◇

Zhou Jin was busy until almost evening, and finally had some free time. He quickly found an excuse to leave and slipped into the space...

Zhu Xi was startled when he suddenly appeared. Seeing his gloomy face, he thought about what Zhou Yu had just told him. He stood up and greeted him awkwardly:

"Haha, Brother Jin, you're here..."

"This is my place, why can't I come? But you, now that you know our secret, what can I do to you?!"

Zhou Jin said to Zhu Xi with a stern face.

Zhu Xi was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and said timidly, "Brother Jin, don't worry, I won't tell anyone the secret that you are monsters!"

Although he didn't know where the place Zhou Yu brought him to was, nor did he know what kind of monsters the brother and sister were, it didn't stop him from making a promise first.

Zhou Yu said that if he didn't behave well, his brother might really kill him! Zhu Xi didn't want to be eaten by a monster!

Zhou Jin didn't expect him to answer like that. He was stunned for a moment and winked at his sister across from him.

Meaning: What the hell is this kid talking about? He actually suspects that we are monsters?

Zhou Yu shrugged at him and mouthed the words "fly to the sky and escape to the ground".

Meaning: When you first saw the space, didn't you also think it was a place where you could fly and burrow underground? It's no surprise that Chang Sanlang now thinks you're a monster.

Zhou Jin...

Why does his sister always tease him about his ability to “fly and hide”?

What happened to his desire to "fly into the sky and escape into the earth"?

If he is asked to choose between space and "flying into the sky and escaping into the earth" at this moment, he will choose "flying into the sky and escaping into the earth", right?

A move that can reach the sky and the underworld, how majestic! How cool!

However, Zhou Jin felt that now was not the time to debate these things with his sister. It was more important to deal with the variable Chang Sanlang first!

Then he sneered at Zhu Xi again:

"Haha, although we brothers and sisters are not the monsters you mentioned, it would be easy for us to kill you! Now that you know our secrets, we can no longer keep you..."

Zhu Xi thought to himself, "What do I know?" Hearing Zhou Jin say that they were not the spirits he thought they were, he became even more puzzled.

If these two weren't spirits, then what were they? How could they have suddenly brought him here?

Just now, Zhu Xi thought Zhou Yu was a monster. After a brief moment of fear, he actually found that he seemed to have accepted the fact that Zhou Yu was a monster...

He felt that no matter what Zhou Yu was, as long as she was still the "Zhou Yu" he knew at heart, the first black girl who was willing to treat him as a friend, then she would definitely not harm him...

But he still had a little curiosity about what kind of monster Zhou Yu was, and he had been secretly guessing in his heart.

He felt that gentle and charming characters like rabbit spirits, flower spirits, and fox spirits were not like Zhou Yu's style, but he didn't want Zhou Yu to be a snake spirit, leopard spirit, or tiger spirit. To be honest... he was still a little scared...

In the end, after guessing for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. Now, after hearing Zhou Jin say that they weren't monsters, I was puzzled, but also very curious about what they were...

Of course, Zhou Jinai was who he was. Zhu Xi felt that if he wasn't a monster, he was at least a demon. He mainly wanted to know what Zhou Yu was...

Then he asked again:

"Then what are you? Gods? Or ghosts?"

If it’s not a monster, then could it be a god???

To be honest, Zhu Xi didn't think it was likely! How could a deity swear all day long? Although the black girl behaved very gently in front of her mother and her siblings, how could she face him swearing all day long?

That's not a god, nor a monster, could it be a resurrected spirit?

Zhu Xi felt a bit like her! He had been playing with Zhou Yu these days, and Zhou Yu sometimes gave him the feeling that she wasn't from their place.

She knew a lot of things he didn't, and she never liked to follow the rules here. She often scoffed at those rules when there were no outsiders around...

Zhou Jin…this kid has a really wild imagination!! But I have to admit, his guess is pretty close. Aren’t these siblings just two separate souls from another world?!

"No matter what we are, you only need to know that with our abilities, it would be easy for us to kill you."

Zhou Jin sat down, flicked his nails, and smiled at Zhu Xi:

"No matter if you are a prince, noble, or a son of a wealthy family, if I want you to die at three o'clock in the morning, you will never live until five o'clock!"

…

Oh! Now Zhu Xi understood. So Zhou Yu's brother was the reincarnation of Yama Luo?! Even his words were exactly like the Yama Luo in the storybook...

Since her brother is Yama, then Zhou Yu might really be a ghost too! !

Zhu Xi thinks it might as well be a monster?!

"Hei, no, Ayu! I don't care if you are a ghost or a human, really! We are all friends no matter what you are!!"

Zhu Xi said to Zhou Yu with a face full of sympathy. "I think it's better to be a spirit than a ghost? At least it sounds better..."

Zhou Jin...

Zhou Yu...

What on earth is this guy thinking? ! ! !

"You should take care of yourself first!"

"Forget it, why should I waste my words with you?"

Zhou Jin was completely enraged by Zhu Xi's conversation pattern of "you talking to him about daily necessities while he was talking to you about the blue sea and sky". He stood up, turned around, and took down the axe hanging on the wall. While shaking it up and down in his hand, he sneered:

"If Ayu hadn't brought you in, you would have been dead by now. I might as well kill you and throw you back into the forest, pretending that it was the Tartars who killed you!

Anyway, I've already wiped out the group of Tartars who saw my sister bringing you in. If you die, there will be no one left in this world who knows our secret as siblings!"

Zhu Xi...

Looking at the sharp blade of the axe and Zhou Jin's ferocious face reflected beneath the blade, I finally felt a little scared...

I heard Zhou Jin say that he had already wiped out the group of dozens of Tartars. Looking at him again, I could sense the murderous aura emanating from him...

……Well…

"Don't...don't, Brother Jin, if you have something to say, we can talk it out. We don't have any grudges against each other. Besides, Ayu and I have a good relationship. Auntie, A'li, and A'ying also like me very much..."

Zhu Xi finally realized how terrifying Zhou Jin was and quickly assured him:

"Don't worry, I really won't tell anyone that you are ghosts!"

…

Zhou Jin...why the hell did he come back again!

"How on earth are you so sure we are ghosts?!"

Zhou Jin was finally irritated by Zhu Xi's crazy thoughts and didn't want to play around with him anymore. It was too tiring! He pointed his axe at him and said:

"To tell you the truth, we are human beings just like you! We just have some special abilities that ordinary people don't have, and we remember some memories of our past lives!

We will not use this kind of special ability easily unless it is absolutely necessary!

After all, we brothers and sisters came to this world just to live our lives peacefully and simply!

But there are too many disgusting people in this world. In order to prevent some of them from coveting our abilities and doing things that would hurt our family and friends, we can only hide the secret of our abilities from everyone, not even our family...

But now that you know all this, to prevent you from having any bad intentions, I have no choice but to get rid of you!"

Zhu Xi: "I promise...I really won't...tell anyone!!"

Zhou Jin: "I think I should just kill you and put an end to it all!"

Zhu Xi...

How could this conversation continue then?! He could only look at Zhou Yu with a bitter face, hoping that Zhou Yu would plead for him...

Since Zhou Yu brought him to their secret base, she wouldn't really watch him die! ! !

In the end, Zhou Yu helplessly spread his hands towards him...

Zhu Xi...can only continue to save himself,

"Uh...Brother Jin, even if you kill me...I'm afraid it won't be the end of it.

Haven't you...always been suspicious of my identity, knowing...that I have a close relationship with Uncle Zhou? ...

Actually, you guessed right... I'm not Chang Sanlang. My original name is... Zhu Xi. I'm the fifth grandson of Emperor Chengqian... the third son of the late Crown Prince...

Lord Zhou is nominally my father's teacher, but he was actually sent by my grandfather to teach my eldest brother and me at the Crown Prince's Mansion. That's why Uncle Lin and I are so close...

You also know... my grandfather has always disliked Lord Zhou... and the Zhou family.

So, even if you kill me and make it look like I was killed by the Tartars, given his temper... I'm afraid he will... take his anger out on your family...

Even if you have superpowers, it's not easy to save the whole clan, right? Instead of that, why don't you trust me this time... I promise..."

Zhu Xi couldn't think of any other way to beg for mercy from Zhou Jin, so he could only honestly explain his life story... But before he could finish...

…

“Who are you?!”

This time it was not Zhou Jin who asked, but Zhou Yu, who had been standing by and watching his brother intimidate Chang Sanlang with great interest, questioned with a dark face!

Zhou Yu was absolutely shocked!!

She never imagined that her good friend Chang Saburo had actually been lying to her all along! Even the name Chang Saburo was fake; there was no such person as Chang Saburo in the world!

"Ayu, don't be angry. I had originally intended to tell you... my identity a long time ago, but Uncle Zhou said that the fewer people... knew about my... identity, the better, so he wouldn't let me. But I had already planned to tell you everything... before I returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect this to happen today..."

Zhu Xi hurriedly explained to Zhou Yu.

But Zhou Yu obviously didn't want to listen to his explanation. He turned around angrily and sat aside, saying directly:

"Brother, I think it would be simpler to kill this guy!"

Zhou Jin: "Okay."

…

"Hey! Black girl, you can't be so disloyal. Although I didn't tell you my identity, you didn't tell me yours either! Can't we just call it even?"

Zhu Xi was grabbed by the collar and pressed against the wall by Zhou Jin. Seeing the blood-stained killer holding an axe against his neck (he had just killed the Tartars and had no time to change his axe), and seeing that Zhou Yu didn't want to protect him at all, he was really panicked and couldn't help but yell at Zhou Yu...

"Besides, I treated you so well and even thought...when I returned to Beijing...I would take you back with me. How could you be so heartless..."

"Who are you calling heartless? My sister has saved you so many times, including this time. How have you ever repaid her?! Bring her back to Kyoto? To make her your maidservant or concubine? Is this how you repay her?"

As a man, Zhou Jin immediately understood Zhu Xi's dirty thoughts. This guy actually dared to let her sister be his slave and acted like it was a gift. He deserved it so much!

If Zhou Jin just wanted to scare Zhu Xi at the beginning so that he wouldn't tell anyone about their affairs, then now Zhou Jin really wants to beat this guy to death!

And he really did it, punching the man in the eyes that were looking at his sister.

If you look at my sister with that dirty look again, I'll blind you first!

Zhou Yu had never imagined that Chang Sanlang, no, this guy, now called Zhu Xi, would actually want her to be his concubine. He even considered him a good friend! He was so angry that he stood up, walked over, and slapped him in the face a few times!

She cursed: "Go to your mother's place and be my concubine! For someone like you, even if eight sedan chairs are carried by me, I will not marry you!"

Zhu Xi's face was immediately swollen from the beatings from the brother and sister. He was in so much pain that tears and snot were streaming. But he really didn't understand why the two of them suddenly hit him. Didn't they want Zhou Yu to be his maid or concubine?

But Zhou Yu's status couldn't make her his legal wife! He didn't care about these statuses, but his grandfather would definitely not agree.

So, I had to cover my sore mouth again and explain to them intermittently and earnestly:

"Brother Jin, A-Yu, it's not that I'm... it's not that I'm... hungry and don't want to be your righteous person, it's really... I'm a fan of you and I can't do it. Don't worry, I... will definitely treat you well!"

Could he please not ignore him? He already doesn't mind Zhou Yu being... uh... "weird"! Even after getting beaten up, he still begs her like this. Isn't that enough?!

But to Zhou Yu, these words sounded like the words of a rich second-generation with an inexplicable sense of superiority, and he was begging her: Hey, little girl, come and follow me. I can give you anything you want except a status!

Suddenly, I felt quite bored. She had always considered this guy a friend! It turned out that in his heart, I had never been treated as an equal...

"Alright, brother, stop beating him up and let him go. From now on, I'll just pretend I don't have this friend anymore! If he dares to tell our secret, you can do whatever you want to him. I won't stop you!"

As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. Zhou Yu felt that for this feudal dandy who never knew how to respect women, she should stay as far away from him as possible. Otherwise, she would want to beat him up every time she saw him!

So, she just thought her friend named Chang Saburo was dead! !

Anyway...he never existed!!

The author has something to say:

Zhu Xi: Cai Cai, you're so unruly! Why did you take my Jinjiang coins and then beat me up? I'm the fifth grandson of the emperor!

Zhou Jin: Because she can no longer suppress the readers' rage over you stealing my male lead role...

Zhou Yu: The fifth grandson of the emperor, huh? You want to marry me as a concubine, right? Humph! Say it again if you dare... Crackling...

Zhu Xi: Cai Cai! She hit me again... Ouch... Are you going to do anything about it?!

Cai Cai: How about I just return the Jinjiang coins to you? I don’t dare to intervene…
