Chapter 19 Is it good to be furry? Duan Zhou: I just don’t like furry things…
Duan Zhou didn't know that Chen Wei had read a letter worth two cents in just half a cup of tea, and Chen Wei didn't know how much mental torture and deep thinking Duan Zhou had gone through in this half cup of tea, and finally rushed back anxiously.
Duan Zhou sat on his horse with a stern face, as if he was disgusted with his own behavior, but he couldn't let Chen Wei see it, lest the spirit beast get too aggressive.
"You were walking too fast just now." Chen Wei followed Duan Zhou with a smile on his face. He held the reins in both hands. He was not very skilled in riding a horse, but because he had the memories of the original owner, he was able to learn it well. He had a package on his back and looked very good-tempered. He said very gently, "It rained last night, and the ground is a little slippery. We'd better ride slowly, otherwise we will fall off the horse."
Duan Zhou glanced at Chen Wei lightly, and although he didn't respond, he slowed down his riding pace.
"Just now, Wu Man sent a letter via carrier pigeon, saying that the gold and silver treasures we sent back have been received. They are indeed the lost property of Xuanwu Peak. The good news is that it has been recovered and we have become rich overnight. However, the tortoise shell was accidentally smashed and now it has a fracture." Chen Wei said helplessly: "Now there are four peak masters, two of whom have fractures and one is poisoned. The only one left is Chiluan from Suzaku Peak."
"A bird dropped treasure from the sky and hit the turtle shell?" Duan Zhou couldn't help but ask, "This is too accurate. What is the relationship between Wu Man and Chi Luan?"
"Are you asking if they have a personal grudge? It's probably not a personal grudge. Wu Man is just unlucky recently." Chen Wei said, "It may be because it likes fortune-telling too much, so it leaks a lot of secrets, and thus it is always unlucky."
Broken Boat: ...
He endured it for a while, and finally spoke calmly, asking: "It is rumored that the master of Xuanwu Peak is very accurate in divination. I wonder if it is true."
"That's natural, because Xuanwu Peak is very close to Zhuque Peak, so the first thing Chiluan does when he wakes up is to divine where the wealth position is today and whether it is suitable to fly. Wu Man's divination for Zhuque Peak is that the early bird catches the worm, and the divination for Qinglong Peak is that the early worm is eaten by the bird." Chen Wei said: "So the work and rest time of the two peaks of Zhuque and Qinglong are completely different, which avoids a bloody fight."
Broken Boat: ...
He listened to Shen Wei talking and felt that something was wrong, but it also seemed to make sense.
This spirit beast is indeed good at sweet talk and sophistry.
"Brother Duan." Chen Wei walked beside Duan Zhou. He turned his head to look at him, his expression seemed to be hesitant, and finally asked carefully: "Are you unhappy?"
"..." Duan Zhou's hand trembled slightly. He was about to look Shen Wei in the eye, but the other person's eyes were so sincere and aggrieved that he subconsciously felt guilty for a moment, then turned away, cleared his throat and said, "No."
"That's good." Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I thought I did something wrong and made Brother Duan unhappy."
"Are you like this to everyone?" Duan Zhou asked.
This question was really familiar. Chen Wei felt vaguely that Duan Zhou had asked him the same question not long ago. Not only Chen Wei, but even Duan Zhou himself had realized it. However, it was obviously impossible to take it back. He could only add, "I'm just asking casually. It's up to you whether you answer or not."
"This is not a difficult question to answer." Chen Wei smiled with his eyes slightly bent, his face clear, giving people an extremely clean and friendly feeling. He smiled and said, "I was struck by lightning before and lost some of my memory. Brother Duan, you also know about this, so I don't remember many things. But since I can remember, Brother Duan is the first human sword cultivator I have met. You know, I have always had a good impression of human sword cultivators."
"In your eyes, I am the same as other human swordsmen?" Duan Zhou held on to certain words, his eyes slightly gloomy.
"Of course not." Chen Wei said sincerely: "Brother Duan is the first human swordsman I have ever met, so he is naturally the most special. Moreover, if I am not mistaken, Brother Duan should also be the most powerful human swordsman I have ever met. I like powerful human swordsmen."
He loves powerful human swordsmen the most. This is the perfect life-saving talisman. Whether he can escape the disaster of the destruction of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect depends on the strength of this human swordsman.
At least the opponent's strength must be greater than that of the dragon.
Shen Wei's words were all fake and devoid of sincerity, which made Duan Zhou very happy. It was just that he couldn't transform into his original form in front of Shen Wei now, otherwise he would have to show off his status.
A human swordsman can fascinate this inexperienced spirit beast to this extent. If he could directly transform into his original form of dragon, wouldn't Chen Wei like him even more?
It's a pity that Duan Zhou is aloof and arrogant, and not every spiritual beast can move his heart, at least that's what he thinks.
"Ten human sword cultivators are no match for me." Duan Zhou coughed lightly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said with a haughty look: "Your choice is not wrong. If you don't believe me, I guarantee that no one will dare to touch you in this sect meeting, including your enemy."
"It...it's a very outstanding snake, not a human." Shen Wei reminded.
"I know." Duan Zhou frowned and said calmly, "It's just an ordinary snake."
Chen Wei saw that this man was moody again, so he simply dropped the subject. Anyway, he would keep him by his side for now. At least he would be able to sleep well this month, and the difficulties of the sect conference ahead should not be difficult to overcome.
Chen Wei traveled along this road through mountains and rivers to Luocheng where the sect conference was held. He had planned to experience the characteristics of each city along the way. However, this plan fell through when he arrived at the second city. He didn't have much money to begin with, so he touched his waist, opened the bag with a smile, and was about to take out the silver to give to the waiter to book a room, but he suddenly discovered that it was filled with stones.
Shen Wei was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the bag, feeling a little dazed. The image of the hateful toad instantly flashed through his mind.
"Don't catch it next time." Chen Wei took a deep breath and said slowly: "Brother Duan, I may... have no money left."
Duan Zhou was even poorer. After being struck by lightning, he was carried into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect by that group of furry creatures. He had nothing on him except a sword.
After the two looked at each other, Chen Wei bowed to the waiter apologetically, and then walked out with Duan Zhou. He said helplessly: "I don't know when it was stolen. This toad is really fast. I'm afraid I will have to sleep on the street tonight."
Because it rained, he slept in a dilapidated temple last night. Chen Wei originally planned to stay in an inn and have a good rest today, but he didn't expect to lose money again. After thinking it over, he decided that the only option left was to sleep in the dilapidated temple.
"Not necessarily." Duan Zhou took a step forward, very close to Shen Wei. His eyes fell on Shen Wei, and then he slightly turned his face and tore off a notice posted behind Shen Wei. He shook it gently and said, "Let's go. Our food and accommodation for the next two days depend on it."
"What is this?" Chen Wei hadn't noticed this before, but now he discovered that Duan Zhou had unfolded the notice, and on it was a picture of a wild wolf with bared fangs. The wolf looked very ferocious. Duan Zhou stared at the wolf for a long time and said, "It should be a spiritual beast. It shouldn't be difficult for the leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to catch a spiritual beast that is doing evil everywhere."
Chen Wei saw the reward below, a full fifty taels of silver, and he immediately nodded and said, "It's not difficult."
This was a horrific case of burglary. The spirit beast sneaked into the backyard of the city lord's house in the middle of the night and caused destruction everywhere. After being discovered, it quickly ran away. The servant in the house only had a face-to-face encounter with it and was knocked down and injured. He is still lying in bed.
The evil spirit beast escaped.
Why do we say it is burglary? Because this spirit beast neither stole nor robbed anything, but the yard looked as if it had been blown up by fireworks, and the house was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked, with even a big hole in the corner.
Duan Zhou said, "Let's go. If we take this case, we can earn enough money to attend the sect conference."
Chen Wei nodded and took the notice from Duan Zhou's hand. The wolf was painted vividly, and the artist was indeed very skilled. However, the look in the wolf's eyes was strange. There was a piercing feeling in it, and it showed an unreasonable sincerity.
"This wolf..." Shen Wei thought for a moment, chose a more pertinent comment, and said, "Very handsome."
"Don't just look at the appearance of everyone, look at their character." Duan Zhou was walking in front, and when he heard this, he immediately turned around and walked to Chen Wei's side, took the notice, and rolled it up, saying calmly: "He's covered with hair, what's so good about him."
"Don't you like furry spirit beasts?" Shen Wei asked.
"I don't like it." Duan Zhou snorted and laughed, "Is it good to have fur? It will fall off in the spring, and the whole body will be furry, which doesn't look good at all."
Chen Wei opened his mouth. He thought of himself. Although he didn't know what his original form was, he had seen furry ears and tails. He guessed that he was also furry. He thought about it, forced a smile, and said, "Well... okay."
Chen Wei sighed inwardly, these days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to raise spiritual beasts.
