Chapter 19019 He is my Taoist companion

…

The rooms in Cuihuan Valley are very different from those in Wujimen.

The windows here were tightly closed, the light was dim, and there was no daily cleaning by the disciples inside. The floor and tables were covered with a thin layer of dust.

Ah Huai was pushed into this room that had been uninhabited for a long time by the little snake, and his expression did not change.

"Excuse me, is there any clean water?"

He asked quietly before the little snake quickly closed the door.

"There is a well in the yard. You can dig it yourself. I am not your slave." The little snake snorted coldly and walked away.

Ah Huai took a quick look at the furnishings in the room and his eyes fixed on the corner.

There was a spider web there, and a small gray spider was perched on the web. It looked ordinary, probably just an ordinary insect in the world.

But it seems a little unusual——

As Ah Huai looked at it, it remained motionless.

When I stopped looking at it, it approached carefully along the silk thread.

Ah Huai confronted it briefly for a few seconds, pursed his lips slightly, as if smiling.

Finally he stopped looking at it altogether, walked to the table, stretched out his fingers, and began to write on the thin layer of dust.

The thin, white, and slender fingers pointed at the gray soil, which was really mismatched. It seemed that even the little spider could not stand such "waste of resources". It crawled over hurriedly, as if to stop it.

But as Ah Huai wrote stroke by stroke, the word "Huai" appeared clearly on the table, and its tiny insect body became stiff again.

Ah Huai's movements did not stop. Before the word "Huai", he wrote "Jing", "Jing", "Jing" and "Jing" vertically...

Before the penultimate stroke of "荆" was written, the spider in the corner of the wall had already jumped down with great momentum, landed on the table, and began to spit silk towards his fingers.

The dust and writing on the table were also crawled into a mess. Then it kicked its legs and actually lay flat on the spot with its legs raised.

What a destructive little insect! It spent the last moments of its life like this.

Ah Huai stared at the blurred word "Jing", his eyes darkened slightly. He just smiled and good-naturedly brushed away the spider silk.

…

In the bedroom not far away, Zhuang Rong'er frowned and opened her eyes.

——Why did he know Jing Huai? Did those people from Wujimen tell him?

Actually…even if he knew, so what?

Why did she destroy the writing out of guilt?

If you think about it carefully, this behavior seems a bit ridiculous.

Zhuang Rong'er was not very happy. She thought that she shouldn't use the art of controlling insects to transfer her spiritual consciousness to the little spider in A Huai's house.

She closed her eyes again with a cold expression and mobilized her spiritual power to repair her meridians.

She thought to herself: If she wants to see someone, she can just let the other person come to her instead of sneaking around and peeping.

…

But that night, before Ah Huai went to sleep, he noticed that there was a small spider in the corner of the room that he had already cleaned.

…

"Master, Shui Jue is here." The little snake respectfully asked outside, "Would you like to see her?"

Ever since Zhuang Rong'er woke up, the little snake has been deprived of the right to enter her room on its own.

After hearing this report, Zhuang Rong'er's split consciousness quickly withdrew from a spider and reunited. She responded to the outside of the door.

Just now she was watching Ah Huai practicing martial arts.

He learned some physical skills from the Wuji Sect. People without spiritual power also have their own special training methods.

He had been practicing every day these days, and Zhuang Rong'er also vaguely realized that Ah Huai was unwilling to be with her as a lover, perhaps because he wanted to become stronger.

She was thinking about making him a suitable weapon so that he could protect himself when she took him to the Xingluo Sea, when this Shui Jue came to her again.

Shui Jue is here, and he is not alone.

When Zhuang Rong'er dressed neatly and walked into the hall, he saw five or six young men standing behind him.

They all have slender figures and pretty faces.

Most importantly, each of them has some noteworthy characteristics.

The first one has a face shape similar to Ah Huai's, the second one has the same lip shape as Ah Huai, the third one has the same fair skin as Ah Huai, and the fourth one has a smile that's somewhat similar to Ah Huai's...

They all have something in common with Ah Huai, or rather, Jing Huai.

...What is Shui Jue doing?

Zhuang Rong'er temporarily suppressed the thought of kicking everyone out and looked at Shui Jue, waiting for him to introduce himself.

"There are too few servants in Cuihuan Valley." Shui Jue smiled calmly, "After the incident in the blood pond, the people around you should also be disciplined. I will send you some trained subordinates. You can assign them any work you like. It's all up to you."

He is said to be a servant, but who doesn't know according to what standards he was sent here?

The little snake standing at the back had fire in its eyes.

He glared at the men behind Shui Jue one by one, and cursed each of them in turn, with Shui Jue being cursed the most severely.

The little snake thought irritably that this Demon Lord was truly a troublesome and annoying person. Even before he transformed, he could tell that Shui Jue had ill intentions towards Zhuang Rong'er.

Now that the seductive guy Ah Huai appeared beside Zhuang Rong'er, he became anxious and started to use any means necessary. It was a good tactic of retreating to advance. Wasn't he afraid that Zhuang Rong'er would really accept it?

If these people who were selected for their qualifications as male favorites were really accepted by Zhuang Rong'er, he would probably be so angry that his teeth would be broken!

He is so scheming, using tricks to win favor, and imitating others like a fool! He is the only good man in this world... The little snake thought angrily.

"No need." Zhuang Rong'er didn't even glance at the men. She wasn't happy with Shui Jue's current behavior, and her voice became increasingly cold. "The valley doesn't need so many servants."

"...Look at how messy the flowers and plants in your garden are! There's not even a handyman to tend to them. If you don't accept them, do you think you don't trust me?"

"no."

"Back when Ghost Grandma was still around, Cui Huan Valley had a lot of people..."

This time, Zhuang Rong'er simply interrupted him: "I said, I don't need it."

After three consecutive rejections, Shui Jue's patience seemed to have reached its limit. He asked coldly, "If you don't need a servant, then what do you need? A substitute for Jing Huai?"

“…”

"If they're stand-ins, then why wouldn't they be? Don't they look similar enough to catch your eye? Then Ah Huai, how do you know he was born that way and wasn't created to harm you?!"

“…He didn’t use disguise.”

Zhuang Rong'er was not so blind as to not notice this, but she was vaguely displeased that Shui Jue questioned her strength.

The little snake held its breath and silently turned into a statue.

This Demon Lord is a fool, he dares to say anything...

Will Zhuang Rong'er kick him away?

If the two of them fight, who knows what the chances of his master winning are?

It seemed that they often sparred with each other when they were young, but the little snake was not very intelligent at that time and could not remember many things.

I only remember that Shui Jue's character gradually "perverted" - that is, he changed his attitude towards Zhuang Rong'er, and began to secretly show his affection to her, but Zhuang Rong'er ignored him.

But fundamentally, Shui Jue is essentially an arrogant tyrant who cannot tolerate disobedience. Although he wants to pursue his master, if he is always humiliated, will he become angry and ashamed?

The little snake swallowed his saliva, and his expression gradually showed a bit of determination to face death. He was even prepared to change back to his original form and wrap Shui Jue tightly at Zhuang Rong'er's command.

"...Even if he didn't use disguise, you shouldn't let a person who appeared out of nowhere serve you closely, just because he has a good appearance. How can a useless person without spiritual power be qualified to serve you tea and water?" The obvious rise and fall of Shui Jue's breath was already visible in his chest.

On the other hand, Zhuang Rong'er remained calm and composed. She shook her head slowly and said, "Ah Huai doesn't need to serve me. He is my Taoist companion."

“Snap—”

Although Shui Jue's expression did not change much, the table beside him turned into powder in an instant. The five or six men behind him could not hide their screams and were frightened by the noise.

The little snake also looked like it had seen a ghost and took two steps back to lean against the wall, covering its heart and staring at Zhuang Rong'er's motionless back.

If he was holding any cups or plates, they would probably have been smashed to pieces.

What did he hear, fellow Taoist? ? ? ! !

Are there any other two words with the same pronunciation?

The little snake searched in his mind for a long time but couldn't find any possible alternatives - now the sky really fell!

Zhuang Rong'er raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at the wreckage of the table with a questioning look in her eyes.

It was as if she was accusing Shui Jue of using so much force to destroy the decoration in her palace.

It's really strange.

Didn't she realize that she had said something truly shocking? And yet she still questioned others?!

Shui Jue's whole body was stiff as if it was frozen.

He didn't know how he found his voice again, and said with difficulty: "Is the ceremony completed? This is no joke. How well do you know that person? You clearly know that he is not who you think he is..."

"so what?"

"So what? He's not Jing Huai! Don't you understand?!"

"not understand."

Zhuang Rong'er was puzzled by this.

Of course she knew that Ah Huai was not Jing Huai, but why did this affect her choice of him as her Taoist partner?

Shui Jue's reaction made her feel that this person's emotions were becoming increasingly unstable and he was getting jumpy all the time.

"...Zhuang Rong'er, is that affectionate look of yours real or just pretend?" Shui Jue stood up, stared at her intently, and asked word by word, "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand? Are you completely unaware of anything, or are you just pretending not to know?!"

He spoke so loudly that it hurt my eardrums.

Zhuang Rong'er no longer wanted to argue with his nonsense. Shui Jue used to be able to talk to her for a few words, and occasionally guessed her thoughts very accurately. She always thought that getting along with him would not be so difficult. At least compared with his sister, he could be said to be considerate. Unexpectedly, this was not the case.

She just calmly ordered him to leave: "Please go out."

"..." Shui Jue seemed to have let out a sigh of relief and looked extremely tired. His wide eyes drooped little by little, and finally he just sighed softly, "Zhuang Rong'er, you are as cold-blooded as the poisonous creatures in your valley."

He didn't even leave the door. A black mist rolled up his clothes and he disappeared from the room in an instant.

But the servants who followed him from behind remained where they were.

They stared at each other, all panicked and at a loss. At this moment, they no longer looked like Jing Huai at all. Even Ah Huai had never shown such an expression.

Zhuang Rong'er waved her hand helplessly, dispersing the cold mist that lingered in the room. She turned her head and glanced at the pale, limp little snake leaning against the wall. "Take them down."
