Chapter 18 Who did you dream about? Wu Man: Upset
The "trash beast" Chen Wei knew nothing about this. He and Duan Zhou originally wanted to hurry to the next city, but it started raining halfway, so they had to temporarily find a dilapidated temple to take shelter from the rain.
The statues in this temple were badly damaged, and the face of the goddess was covered by the fallen cloth, with only half of her eye exposed.
"You're all wet." Duan Zhou glanced at Chen Wei, and then said, "You sit here, I'll go light a fire."
Although it was not the coldest time of the year, it was still late autumn. It had rained, so the night wind felt a bit cold on his body, especially since he was soaked. Chen Wei sneezed twice subconsciously.
He shook his head, shook his sleeves, and said helplessly: "I brought a change of clothes."
Before setting off, he checked everything to make sure he had brought enough things. However, the rain was enough to bully the spirit beasts. Chen Wei and Duan Zhou were obviously traveling together, but only Chen Wei was wet in the rain. Duan Zhou was clean and tidy except for the hem of his clothes which was a little wet.
This made Chen Wei look even more like a drowned dog. When he looked at Duan Zhou in embarrassment, his pitiful and unconscious eyes made Duan Zhou's heart move slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but soften a little.
"Then go change your clothes. I'll go make a fire to dry your clothes." Duan Zhou had lived alone before, so he had no problem with basic life skills. He half squatted down, used the method of drilling wood to make fire, and lit the hay beside him, and then lit the pile of wood.
The burning flames jumped slightly, illuminating the faces of several people. Chen Wei turned slightly to the side, took off his wet clothes, changed into clean clothes, and immediately felt much refreshed.
But just as he sat down, his stomach growled twice. A slight blush suddenly appeared on his fair face. He was obviously a little embarrassed and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
He suddenly remembered that there was a piece of bread bought from the inn in the package, but it was a little wet from the rain. So he simply put it on a wooden stick and toasted it. Soon the fragrance filled the air.
Chen Wei can eat delicacies from land and sea, as well as coarse grains and flatbreads, but he just doesn't eat much fish.
The two of them snuggled together, with lightning and thunder outside and heavy rain pouring down. The firewood in the dilapidated temple was their only source of warmth, and they really felt like they were depending on each other.
"You have been asking me to be a guest official in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, saying that you want me to protect the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and you in order to prevent your enemies from invading." Duan Zhou said, "Do you want me to repel him or kill him?"
When Duan Zhou said this, his eyes fell on Chen Wei's face, observing his expression. However, Chen Wei was confused at first. Was this what he said to Duan Zhou at that time?
There was one thing he didn't remember very clearly. He always felt that the meaning was very similar, but the original words seemed not to be like this. However, it didn't matter. Facing Duan Zhou's gaze, Chen Wei guessed that the reason why the sword cultivator killed the evil dragon was because the other party killed living creatures indiscriminately, which was really hateful. It can be imagined that this sword cultivator is a kind-hearted person.
So he straightened his expression and said confidently: "Of course we should fight it off. After all, it's a living being!"
Chen Wei secretly rejoiced, thinking that he was being kind enough. This was repaying evil with kindness, which was truly a great merit!
"Really?" Duan Zhou turned his head away, not bothering to look at Chen Wei. He stared at the flames in front of him and said word by word, "But my strength is limited. I can't take on the responsibility of protecting the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and Sect Master Shen."
Chen Wei:?
It was fine just now, how come it became like this in the blink of an eye?
Duan Zhou leaned aside with his eyes closed to rest. Chen Wei wanted to speak, but hearing Duan Zhou's heavy breathing with a hint of anger, Chen Wei smiled awkwardly, retracted his claws, and obediently slept aside in his robe, not daring to disturb the angry swordsman.
No wonder many sword cultivators in the world of cultivation are loners. With that kind of temper, who can be friends with him?
Shen Wei felt that he had seen through the truth.
It was windy and rainy outside all night, and the two of them slept very uneasily all night.
The main reason was that Chen Wei had a nightmare. He dreamed that a huge black dragon was sleeping next to him. He woke up suddenly, covered in cold sweat, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Duan Zhou woke up without knowing when. He glanced at Chen Wei and asked coldly, "What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed about it." Shen Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Who?" Duan Zhou was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, his tone suddenly turned cold and he asked, "Your enemy?"
"Yeah." Shen Wei sighed weakly and responded in a muffled voice.
However, before Chen Wei could say anything, a package fell down and was stuffed into Chen Wei's arms. Duan Zhou violently kicked the fire away, extinguishing all the sparks on it, and said coldly: "Aren't we going to hurry? What are you still standing there for?"
Shen Wei hurriedly got up, not knowing why Duan Zhou was suddenly in such a bad mood. He followed Duan Zhou out. In the past, he would get on the horse first, and then Duan Zhou would get on the horse. Now this man didn't even wait for him, but got on the horse first. Then he looked down at Shen Wei and said, "Sect Master Shen, what did you dream about him?"
"I dreamed..." Chen Wei felt that this question was a bit dangerous. He thought about it and said very carefully: "I dreamed that it was sleeping next to me."
"..." Duan Zhou's heart, which was just about to comfort himself, finally died. He frowned, his eyes were even colder and more ruthless than the cold wind last night, and then he sneered a few times, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, you will dream about what you think about during the day."
He yanked the reins hard and rode straight towards the city ahead, leaving Chen Wei behind. He muttered to himself as he walked, “Sharing the same bed with me, lying down with me to spend the rainy night, while dreaming about someone else, huh, it turns out that he is a bad beast. I knew it, this Chen Wei is definitely not a kind-hearted beast, I knew it!”
However, when he had walked for half a cup of tea, he suddenly found something a little strange. Chen Wei, who should have caught up with him, did not catch up. Duan Zhou suddenly stopped his horse. He turned around and looked around. As expected, he did not see any trace of Chen Wei. His face suddenly became ugly.
At this moment, Shen Wei was being swooped down by a bird, and was nearly hit in the face by a dropped envelope. He took it helplessly and said, "Is it a letter from Chi Luan?"
"No, it's the master of Xuanwu Peak." The pigeon spread its wings and said, "Master, look quickly."
"Why not use the most primitive carrier pigeon instead of the musical note?" Shen Wei was a little confused.
"Although spiritual power is free, a sound transmission note costs one tael of silver, and a trustworthy pigeon costs two cents." The pigeon flapped its wings and said, "This is the letter delivery service of Suzaku Peak. Sect Master, I will leave after you receive the letter!"
Chen Wei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that birds have started to make money these days, it was indeed Suzaku Peak, no wonder it was the richest peak in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
After Chen Wei opened the letter, he saw the words on it, which roughly meant that Wu Man had already received the gold and silver that Chen Wei had looted from the golden toad, and they were indeed the things that Xuanwu Peak had lost.
So after Wu Man became rich, he spent a huge sum of two cents to send a carrier pigeon to bring a letter to express his gratitude.
Chen Wei then realized that he had handed the gold and silver to the post station nearby and asked them to deliver them to Xuanwu Peak. If he guessed correctly, this post station was most likely also the property of Suzaku Peak.
Because Wu Man clearly stated in the letter that the bag of gold and silver was treasure that fell from the sky, and it hit the turtle's shell directly, very accurately, but it broke its bone.
However, what Chen Wei didn't know was that Wu Man, who had a broken bone, was lying in the pool at this moment, looking at the divination result on his tortoise shell about his recent days:
There is plenty of wealth, but not enough health.
"The divination is very good. I won't do divination these days." Wu Man slowly sank into the water and said in a muffled voice, "It's annoying."
Chen Wei was happily reading a letter when he looked up and saw Duan Zhou rushing over. He didn't know where he came from, and he looked exhausted. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Wei was still there.
He looked at Chen Wei with complicated eyes and said, "Get on the horse and follow me closely."
Chen Wei had no idea that the time it took to read a letter, less than half a cup of tea, was enough for the dragon to ride back and forth on horseback.
He thought Duan Zhou was riding a horse to relax, and never considered that the dragon was just throwing a tantrum, and when it found no one cared, it strolled back.
"You actually dared to dream about sleeping with your enemy. Aren't you afraid that he would kill you directly?" Duan Zhou's heart was slightly moved, and he threatened slightly: "Stay by my side obediently. At least in this month, I won't let anyone hurt you. As for after a month... we'll talk about it then."
