Jiuqi

Good job, there was no one in the kitchen. Li Ping'an quietly pushed the window open, climbed in, and then closed the window.

There were mostly Western dishes in the kitchen, and Li Ping'an was not picky. He picked up a piece of steak that looked the best with a fork and started to chew on it. It turned out that the steak was quite tender.

After eating a piece of steak, Li Pingan was finally no longer hungry. He looked around and took a piece of cake to eat.

Li Ping'an felt a little dry in the mouth, so he searched around for a while and finally found a bottle of wine in the cupboard. This stuff was good, low in alcohol and wouldn't make you drunk.

Li Ping'an felt like a glutton, eating wherever he went and sweeping the kitchen clean.

Just as she was holding a croissant in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, the kitchen door opened.

In a hurry, Li Ping'an could only hide next to the refrigerator.

"Are everything ready?" The voice was so low that if Li Ping'an hadn't listened carefully, he might not have heard it.

"Ready? Will it work this time?" Another voice sounded anxious and worried.

Li Pingan heard the sound of patting his shoulder, "Don't worry, it will definitely work this time."

Then, the voice also lowered its voice, "Even if we fail, the worst that can happen to us is death."

"Okay, cheer up, we will definitely succeed this time."

Li Pingan heard the sound of a lid being lifted, followed by a sharp voice, "Where's the steak I prepared?!"

"The red wine was also drunk!"

Li Pingan looked at the red wine in his hand and silently said sorry.

Li Pingan had just finished apologizing in his heart when he heard two people arguing in low voices outside, "Did anyone come here just now?"

"No, I've been guarding the door."

"What should I do? I've already injected all the medicine. Who took it?!"

"Don't worry about it for now, just make another one and send it up."

"So what about that?"

"There's nothing we can do. We can only do it next time when we can get the medicine. I hope we can live until then."

Li Pingan suddenly felt that the thing in her hand no longer smelled good. She wanted to jump out and ask what medicine they were talking about.

Then, Li Ping'an felt that she didn't need to ask anymore, she knew it. She now felt that her eyes were blacking out, her heart was beating very fast, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

She sat down slowly, endured the pain and gently placed the thing in her hand on the ground. Then, she curled herself into the corner and hugged her knees. Good, she was going to die again, and she would die from eating herself.

Just when Li Ping'an couldn't help but scream out, the two men packed their things and left, and Li Ping'an no longer had to suppress his painful voice.

She covered her neck, feeling that she couldn't breathe, her vision became darker and darker, and her head became more and more confused.

The moment her consciousness faded, Li Ping'an seemed to see someone coming in front of her.

When she opened her eyes, Li Pingan thought she would be in the kitchen, but unexpectedly, it was a small bedroom where she was lying on the bed.

Thinking of the person he saw before closing his eyes, Li Pingan propped himself up and sat up. He looked around and found no one else.

This seemed to be a room below deck, with no windows and somewhat dark and damp.

Li Ping'an got off the bed, supported himself against the wall, and took a few slow steps to get used to it.

At this time, the door was opened, and a man wearing a crane cloak and with an extremely outstanding appearance walked in.

Seeing that Li Pingan had woken up, he smiled and explained, "I saw you lying next to the refrigerator when I passed by, so I carried you here. How do you feel now?"

As expected, good-looking people’s smiles are like a spring breeze. Li Pingan was dazzled by the smile for a moment, then he came to his senses and thanked repeatedly.

"It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about." The man gestured for Li Ping'an to sit on the stool, and then sat down opposite him. "By the way, weren't you previously..."

The man seemed to suddenly realize that the question he asked was not a good one. He quickly stopped and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Li Pingan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You want to ask me why I didn't die, right?"

"I cut the rope with a fruit knife and climbed up by myself." Li Ping'an is not a fool. He would not tell everything to this man just because he is good-looking.

The man seemed to have noticed the concealment in her words, smiled, and did not continue asking, "My name is Jiuqi, what's your name?"

"My name is," Li Pingan was about to say his own name, but suddenly remembered the noble lady's warning to him, and suddenly became cautious, "My name is Anding."

"Anding, it's a good name."

"No, no, your name is nicer."

Li Ping'an felt a little uneasy. Although this man was good-looking and seemed to have a good personality, for some reason, she always felt uncomfortable.

As if sensing Li Ping'an's discomfort, Jiu Qi said considerately, "If you have something to do, you can leave first."

Hearing this, Li Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt that he had been too obvious. He smiled embarrassedly, but still walked out the door honestly. "I'm leaving now. Thank you so much."

Jiu Qi stood up and looked at Li Ping'an with a smile, as if he didn't care about her attitude at all, and sent her out the door.

Li Ping'an took two steps and realized something was wrong. He looked back and saw Jiu Qi still standing at the door, watching him go with a smile.

Li Ping'an smiled embarrassedly, then turned around and left quickly. As he walked, he felt that he was making a fuss out of nothing and was too timid.

When Li Ping'an's figure disappeared in the corridor, the smile on Jiu Qi's face completely disappeared and his eyes became cold.

Li Ping'an rubbed his arms. Why did he suddenly get goose bumps for no reason?

Li Pingan attributed the incident to the fact that it was too damp under the deck.

Li Ping'an didn't like the feeling under the deck, so he climbed up the stairs again. Although it was still dark outside, Li Ping'an felt that it was more comfortable here.

But why is it still dark after so long?

People were walking back and forth on the deck, and Li Ping'an noticed that while the people she saw when she came were all dressed in suits and looked elegant and graceful, the people coming and going now were all dressed in rags, not much better than Li Ping'an. She didn't know what had happened on the ship during this period.

Everyone passing by was busy looking for the "Cuckoo", leaving Li Ping'an alone leaning against the railing and sighing in despair. It was not because she was so noble, but because she knew that she could not find this thing with her own ability. Even if she found it, the masked man would not give it to her. She had better keep a low profile and wait until she got off the boat.

Li Ping'an wants to live a stable life, but there are always people who dislike her.

A man with a mask on his face walked over. Li Pingan looked at him from a distance and thought he was the masked man. He was so scared that he wanted to run away. But when he looked at his equipment again, he realized that this was the Pharaoh man whose face had been peeled off by the masked man.

Li Pingan felt a little relieved, but looking at his angry expression, it was obviously not a good thing.

Li Ping'an adhered to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, and wanted to turn around and leave, but found that in the blink of an eye, this person was in front of him.

It would be impolite to move forward, so Li Ping'an was forced to stay where he was.

"You're not dead?"

Li Pingan was also convinced. Why did everyone say this when they first met her? Was she someone who had to die?

Or was she so weak that these people knew she would not survive the moment they saw her?

Li Ping'an's speechlessness obviously took on another meaning to Pharaoh.

The man got angry and reached out to strangle Li Pingan. Li Pingan dodged and asked angrily, "What are you crazy about?"

Hearing Li Pingan's question, he was obviously very angry, "I'm crazy?!"

He stared at Li Pingan fiercely, "You should be the one to receive the punishment, why, why are you hiding?"

Li Ping'an was also convinced. She was wrong to hide when she encountered danger.

Seeing that the argument between the two attracted the attention of people around them, Li Ping'an was afraid that it would continue like this, so he called the masked man over.

Not wanting to bother with this man anymore, Li Ping'an turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect him to block his way.

Li Ping'an frowned. She didn't think it was her fault that this person's face was peeled off. It was obviously the masked man who peeled it off. He didn't dare to go find him, but came to block her instead. Isn't this just picking on the weak?

Seeing Li Ping'an frowning, Pharaoh's expression became even worse. He muttered something in his mouth, and a swarm of hornets suddenly appeared out of nowhere and flew towards Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an really didn't expect that this man had such a bad temper. She couldn't hide from him, so she had to run into the hall. She was betting on this person's fear of the masked man.

Li Ping'an still overestimated her speed, or rather underestimated the speed of the hornets. Before she stepped into the hall, several fast-flying hornets landed on her. Before she could swat them away, their stingers had already pierced her skin.

Suddenly, Li Ping'an felt the place where he was bitten swell up, and severe pain swept over him. His steps became light and more hornets were chasing him.

Just when Li Ping'an felt that he was about to be stung to death by a wasp, Jiu Qi appeared and came out of the hall. Seeing the extremely weak Li Ping'an, he seemed a little surprised.

Before he could say hello to Li Ping'an, he saw a swarm of bees flying behind Li Ping'an. He waved his hand, and before Li Ping'an could see clearly what he did, the swarm of bees disappeared.

Li Pingan looked up and wanted to thank him, but he lost his balance and fell into his arms. Li Pingan then struggled to get up, but Jiu Qi held him down, "Don't move. This wasp is extremely poisonous. The more you move, the faster the poison will spread."

After hearing this, Li Ping'an didn't dare to move and let him carry him back to the small room under the deck.

Lying on the familiar bed again, Li Pingan couldn't help but sigh, he was really unlucky, he had never had a peaceful life since he came here, if not...

Thinking of this, the words of the medieval noblewoman flashed through Li Pingan's mind. Could it be that his innate skill is?
