The man lowered his hand, curled his thin lips and said, "I have lost part of my memories. Since I was willing to form a contract with you back then, I will not break the contract until I know the reason."
Qi Yu was so frustrated that she almost kicked him, but she restrained herself because she thought the other party might be much stronger than her at that moment.
Using the best composure she had ever displayed, she smiled and said, "Then you should think it over carefully, sir. If I were to form a symbiotic contract with someone as weak as me, a mortal who could be strangled with one hand, you would be the one to suffer the consequences if I were to die."
Feng Xiao didn't seem to care much and said, "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you die."
He swaggered past Qi Yu.
Qi Yu watched his retreating figure, anger rising in her heart and malice taking hold. She kicked Feng Xiao in the buttocks.
"Smack!"
The man in sight suddenly darted to the other side.
He feigned surprise as he looked at Qi Yu, who had fallen to the ground, and asked in astonishment, "What's wrong? Although you can share life and death with me, there's no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Qi Yu, who had fallen flat on her face, gritted her teeth and glared at Feng Xiao, who had dodged her flying kick, and said resentfully, "Serves you right!"
"Since you're so eager to thank me, why don't you take me out for a look around?" Feng Xiao leaned down and extended a hand to Qi Yu.
Qi Yu grabbed the pale, bony hand, used it to help her get up, and suddenly pinched the man's cheek hard.
Feng Xiao's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at her with a gloomy gaze.
Qi Yu took a few steps away, a bright smile spreading across her face.
"You choked me, I'll choke you, we're even."
Seeing Feng Xiao's inscrutable expression, she changed her expression again and said in surprise, "No, you almost strangled me to death. I only hurt you. In the end, you still benefited more."
Before Feng Xiao could react, she took a step back and said, "I'm not going to say anything more. I need to get going too. Lord Phoenix, please sleep a little longer."
After saying that, she ran off and disappeared in a flash.
Feng Xiao stood there, gently touching the red marks on her cheek where Qi Yu had pinched her, her eyelashes lowered as if she were lost in thought.
After a while, he covered his eyes and chuckled.
"baffling……"
...
Qi Yu left the room, her face darkening.
Feng Xiao's amnesia once again caught her completely off guard.
She currently only has nine points, few items, and her strength is, as Feng Xiao said, so weak that he could easily kill her with one hand.
Although Fengxiao was clingy and loved to act cute, overall she was a good accessory and wouldn't cause her any trouble. She was also pretty and pleasing to the eye.
But that's not necessarily the case now.
In just that short time they spent together, Feng Xiao's mental state made her wonder if he had some kind of mental problem.
Do as you please, unpredictable.
It's practically a ticking time bomb with a bow tied around its neck.
The previous test showed that Feng Xiao wouldn't act rashly towards her now. To a certain extent, she could use this to get Feng Xiao to do things for her, but she needed to control the degree of that.
For now, it's best to refrain from making any rash moves and maintain a proper distance.
Qi Yu walked to Xiao Hei's side in the yard and whispered to it, "Stay away from Feng Xiao, he's not quite right now."
Xiao Hei asked in confusion, "Why is it abnormal? Wasn't Lord Phoenix always very well-behaved in front of Master before?"
"Hiss..." Qi Yu stroked his chin and said, "Also, it's best not to mention to him what stupid things you did in front of me before, otherwise it's not impossible for him to turn you into dog meat hotpot if he's not careful."
Xiao Hei: "???"
"Xiao Hei isn't a dog, it's a wolf! Also, what's hot pot? Is it tasty?"
Qi Yu glanced at it with pity, ignored Xiao Hei's howling questions, and headed along the path towards the space exit.
She stood at the exit, observed the water mirror for a while, and only went out after confirming that no one was outside.
The dilapidated statue in the ruined temple looked down at her majestically, and the flames surrounding the statue were made to look incredibly lifelike.
Qi Yu glanced at the statue and stepped out of the dilapidated temple.
It's time to leave Wucheng.
However, leaving the city alone would be too conspicuous. Chu Mo was a truly strange person, and it wasn't impossible for him to keep watch over her.
You need to find a way to blend in with a group of people and reduce the chances of being discovered.
The girl in gray hurried to the front of a courtyard with a plaque hanging in the city.
The plaque had four characters written on it: Anyao Escort Agency.
The guards at the gate saw that the girl was extremely ordinary-looking and dressed very simply, so they didn't pay much attention to her and continued to stand at the gate like statues.
The young woman looked around the outside of the escort agency as if admiring it before stepping forward and asking, "Brother, may I ask how much silver it costs to escort someone to Moon City in the White Tiger Kingdom?"
The guard looked the girl up and down again, then said impatiently, "It's such a long distance to Moon City, you probably can't afford it, so stop asking."
Qi Yu asked curiously, "You haven't even said how much it costs, how do you know I can't afford it?"
"You're dressed so shabbily," the guard said disdainfully. "Even if you were sold, you couldn't afford to pay for this delivery."
Qi Yu rolled his eyes and said, "You're talking about buying and selling people right off the bat. May I ask how much you cost, brother? I may not have much money on me, but it's more than enough to buy you."
"Are you asking for a beating, woman?!" The guard picked up a stick and tried to hit Qi Yu.
"Stop!" A voice filled with anger rang out from behind the guard.
Qi Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed in black, who looked to be in his thirties, walk over slowly and knock the guard's stick away with a wave of his hand.
"When did I say that it was okay to use weapons on guests?"
The guard lowered his head tremblingly and said repeatedly, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have treated that girl like that! Please punish me, Master!"
The man grabbed him, pushed him in front of Qi Yu, and said, "I'm not asking you to apologize to me, apologize to this young lady."
Qi Yu stood with her hands on her hips, watching the guard with a leisurely air.
The guard glanced at his master's face, then bowed to Qi Yu and apologized, "I'm sorry, young lady, I shouldn't have treated you like that just now. Please forgive me."
The man, referred to as the head of the household, also said, "Miss, it was An Yao's men who were negligent in their hospitality. Please forgive them. I will deal with them severely later to avenge you."
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow, surprised that this was An Rong'er's father, An Yao.
This time, Qi Yu still needed An Yao to take her out of the city, so she didn't intend to waste any more time and said, "An Yao, you should teach your men more about the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover.'"
“And…” She shifted her gaze to the purple-clad girl peeking out from not far away, and smiled at her, “Family members are the same.”
