Chapter 218 Determination

Xu Chuchu modified the formation. It was still effective, but it was not open to Xiao Yu and Afu.

Now all that was left before their eyes was the wasteland that Xiao Yu had first seen, without a single brick or tile visible inside.

Xiao Yu walked forward blankly, hoping that he could still step into the range of the formation like before and see this warm little home.

He walked deep into the wasteland and stood in the middle of it, but nothing happened.

"Sir, forget it." Ah Fu leaned in and whispered, "If you walk in like this, they can see you from inside."

Before, there were travelers who passed by and rested in this open space. Daju would often pull him over and sit next to these travelers like a ghost, listening to their conversations and commenting on them from time to time.

"Oh, I see." Xiao Yu nodded suddenly, "Then I'll go out."

He quickly retreated and sat in the haystack across the path, staring at the empty wasteland without blinking, not knowing what he was looking forward to.

"You go back first, Ah Fu." He suddenly said, "I want to be alone."

"But sir..." Ah Fu was worried.

"go back."

"yes……"

Ah Fu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to look back every few steps as he walked towards the capital.

Xiao Yu sat on the side of the road, staring at Chu Chu, who was so close yet so far away, and imagined what she was doing.

He just woke up and must be hungry. After all, he only drank porridge during the days he was unconscious. Maybe he is having a meal now and there is chicken soup in the kitchen.

No, not necessarily. Maybe he was still very weak, so he went back to the couch to rest.

Why hadn't he thought of that just now? Seeing her weak body, he didn't know how to take good care of her, and foolishly pulled her to talk.

If she had been helped to rest in time, or given a bowl of chicken soup, would the outcome have been different?

Reason told Xiao Yu that he was overthinking... but some thoughts still remained in his heart.

He had thought that no matter how much Chuchu annoyed him, she would at least keep him temporarily to heal her wounds until she recovered.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't bear it for a moment.

Her body was severely injured. Without his spiritual power, would she really not be in great pain? Did she really have a way to heal herself? Or was she just pretending?

Xiao Yu was once again helpless at Xu Chuchu's strength and unworldliness.

He now desperately hoped that Chuchu was a weak, vulgar woman who was greedy for money and status.

At least this way, he was still valuable in her eyes.

Unlike now, the more beautiful she is, the more useless he is.

…

At dusk, Xu Jiji came back.

He was also affected by the changes in the formation and could not go home. He stood at the door and looked around. He saw Xiao Yu sitting on the side of the road from a distance. He quickly realized what had happened and looked away without saying anything.

Not long after, the master came out of the formation and brought Gigi in.

The two people disappeared in front of Xiao Yu out of thin air again.

It must be that the master saw Gigi coming back inside.

Yes, everyone inside could see his decadent look.

Xiao Yu slowly stood up and headed back towards the capital.

When we arrived in the city, the lights were already on. As the sun set, thousands of lights were lit.

He walked and looked at the people passing by on the road.

There were young mothers hurrying home with their children, ladies of noble families sitting in sedan chairs, covered up and covered up, and prostitutes standing on the street, posing seductively and alluringly...

Yes, there are thousands of women in this world, and many of them are gentle, lovely and kind girls.

They may be filial and good at housekeeping, dignified and generous to the outside world, and sweet-spoken and gentle to the inside, and they will be a good match worth spending a life with.

They may also be bold and naive, always capturing a man's heart and giving him a lifetime of freshness.

At this time, Xiao Yu had unlimited possibilities. He was a prince, had great cultivation, and had a bright future. Countless women would come to him and be his pick.

But the more he compared, the more clear-headed he became, and he was certain that he would never fall in love with any other woman except Chuchu in this life.

The appearance of Xu Chuchu is like a skilled painter who uses various colors of paint to paint his originally gloomy life into a colorful one.

When he thought he could spend the rest of his life with the painter, she broke her paintbrush and left without looking back.

How is it possible... How can I forget, how can I let it go.

Even if his fate as a brocade boa constrictor was eliminated, he didn't think it was possible.

A couple happened to pass by. The husband bought a string of sweet cakes and stuffed it into the hands of his wife who was angry with him about the child. Their eyes met and they shyly reconciled.

Surrounded by such a crowd of people, Xiao Yu suddenly became much more sober.

His method was wrong. To win back his beloved, what was the point of just talking and talking? He was clinging to her relentlessly, not giving up until he got what he wanted, until she was fed up. What was the difference between him and a scoundrel?

He must find a way to make Xu Chuchu realize his value and attitude, but he cannot give up this relationship so easily.

Maybe she has made up her mind and no matter how much she does, it will not change her mind... Then he will keep trying until she finds true love again.

After making this decision, Xiao Yu felt a little relieved.

He tried to adjust his mood and calm down a lot. He had been flustered, confused and worried these days, and he just happened to expose his helpless and anxious state to Xu Chuchu.

This was not the way he wanted the woman he loved to see him.

…

Xiao Yu did not return home, but went directly to Yuelai Casino.

Yuelai Casino is a casino on the surface, but the casino is only a small part of their business. They mainly engage in black market transactions between fortune tellers.

Because of his recent misconduct, Xiao Yu had become a regular customer of the casino. As soon as he entered the door, someone notified the casino's boss, Mr. Wang.

"Oh, Young Master Xiao, you've arrived! What a rare guest!" The pot-bellied Boss Wang came over to greet him. "You're here to pick up the goods, right? The pair of mother and child Gu are already refined. I'll get them from you right away."

Boss Wang used to respect Xiao Yu, but he regarded him more as a distinguished guest with a lot of money and a fool. He mainly cooperated more closely with the Grand Master, the Imperial Observatory.

But no one knows what happened these days. The Grand Master is said to have fled and disappeared. The emperor also suddenly declared that the Grand Master had rebelled and ordered his arrest. He also closed the Imperial Observatory and imprisoned the monk.

To protect himself, Boss Wang quickly cut off his own limbs to distance himself from the matter. Although his family business was saved, he no longer had any powerful backing in the capital.

I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao would come to my door.
