Chapter 11
I followed Chu Yingyu eagerly to the money shop on the island to get money. As if to prove something to me, he took out some silver bills, small change, and copper coins. All this money was enough to make me a few silver bracelets.
Of course, I didn't think of asking for other people's money, but Chu Yingyu filled the red money bag given by the money shop owner with silver and copper coins, then took my hand and placed the heavy bag in my palm.
I was stunned, feeling the slightly heavy weight in my hand. Is this one or two years' salary for ordinary people?
Did he pay Xiaobai a salary before?
This strange idea flashed through my mind, and I didn't dare to accept it for a moment. But considering his character, I asked directly: "Is it for me?"
"Um."
"Any requests?"
"What?"
"That is, after taking your money, what am I going to do?"
“Buy something you like.”
“…”
"Too little?"
“…”
Chu Yingyu looked at the banknote in his hand and explained seriously, "I can't give you the banknote. It will make you a target for others."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at some people on the street. Some beggars met his gaze and ran away with their broken bowls, while some who were greedy for money quickly pretended to look at the scenery.
The boy is very sensitive to other people's malice.
Suddenly I thought of a famous saying on the Internet: Where there is money, there is love. I was quite moved by this behavior, but I immediately shook my head and warned myself in my heart.
He attacked his own Xiaobai! The nicer he is to me, the scarier he is! What if I make him slow down his sword moves?
Instead of looking for the reason in yourself, you blame the dog. How hateful!
This is pig farming! This is another kind of pig-killing scam! Qin Xiao'e, you can't be flattered by his actions. It's useless to judge by his actions without considering his heart!
You might be killed by him one day, so don't feel burdened. Use his money and bankrupt him!
Without changing my expression, I took the purse and tied it firmly to my belt. I said calmly, "Thank you for your support."
At sunset, we returned to the inn, and I found that the kitchen was quite well-equipped. The chef patiently taught me some ingredients, and I managed to make stir-fried and grilled octopus.
I brought it to the table for Chu Yingyu to see. The young man used chopsticks to pick up the octopus from the pile of seasonings. I respectfully picked up a piece and started chewing it in front of him.
"It's so delicious that it touches your soul!" I gave a thumbs up exaggeratedly.
“…”
"It's not poisonous! If I dare to poison you, I really don't want to live."
Chu Yingyu looked at my two plates of octopus for a long time, and finally picked up his chopsticks and ate one of the delicious and spicy ones. He choked so hard that his face and mouth turned red.
It was an unexpected development. I picked up the teapot on the table and planned to make tea for him. The boy grabbed the teapot and drank from the spout.
I was stunned: “…”
It seemed like this was more unbearable than poison. I thought about it and asked quietly, "Can't you handle spicy food?"
Chu Yingyu calmed down for a while, but did not admit it. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks to pick up the charcoal-grilled octopus tentacles. I didn't put so much chili in this one, but it was not bland either.
Then he scored twice, and he felt choked and his face turned red, but he still forced himself to eat everything he had picked up.
Afraid of spicy food, but want to eat it.
It seems that I can use the strategy of spicy food to kill him and run away.
Thinking humorously, I waved to the waiter to refill my tea and asked with a smile, "It's a bit spicy, but is it ok?"
Chu Yingyu nodded. I told him to rinse it with water before eating, but he refused. He insisted on challenging me. His beautiful mouth was almost turned into a sausage mouth. How could it be so cute?
After dinner, I wanted to go out to the night market, but I was really tired today. So Chu Yingyu and I went upstairs together. He opened the door and I followed him in.
There was a bathtub inside, with toiletries and flower petals all placed there. I habitually prepared to unbutton my clothes and belt.
"Your room is next door."
Chu Yingyu looked at me for a long time and spoke silently, pointing at the wall next to me. I stopped as if waking up from a dream.
Yes! We're not on an island anymore, we're staying at an inn, so of course we've requested two rooms. Why am I so accustomed to eating, living, and sleeping with him?
"You can sleep with me if you want."
"No no no, I'm going next door!"
After hearing what he said, I quickly shook my head like a rattle and ran back to my room. It turned out that I had prepared toiletries here too. After living together for so long, I finally had a room to myself. How comfortable it would be to sleep alone!
After cleaning myself up, I lay in the warm quilt, feeling so happy that I almost cried.
My requirements have really been lowered too much. As long as I have enough food to eat, a warm sleep and some money to spend, it will be enough. It would be even better if my life can be protected.
Actually, I thought about giving Chu Yingyu some drugs and then taking the opportunity to escape, but I was too inexperienced and too scared.
He's so clever. If he finds out, I'll be hacked to death.
I am still very conflicted now. Being taken care of by him in life, it is really difficult for me to be alert to his perversion at all times. It is scary to boil a frog in warm water.
I went to bed early that night, but I wasn't very restful. I dreamed that Chu Yingyu turned into a shark and kept chasing me and biting me, and then I turned into a dog and doggy-paddling in the sea.
Chu Shark was calling "Little White, Little White" behind me, and my four short legs were almost turning into propellers in the sea.
The moment he swallowed me in one gulp, I woke up with a scream, and then saw a dark shadow standing beside the dark bed.
“Ah—mm—”
The second scream was blocked by a cold hand as soon as it came out of my throat. I was unable to resist at all and then I felt a familiar breath.
It’s Shark Chu!
Realizing that I would not shout anymore, Chu Yingyu lit the candle in my room. The dim light fluttered on his young and handsome face, and there was a sense of alienation in the haziness.
The heartbeat in my chest finally subsided. I sat on the bed, catching my breath, and watched him hand me a cup of tea.
I took the teacup and took a few sips. I saw that he was neatly dressed. I didn’t know if he dressed quickly or if he didn’t take off his clothes at all before sleeping.
Before, in the Wolong Cave on Yintian Island, he and I slept together, and it seemed that he took off his clothes.
Thinking about these things aimlessly, I handed the cup to him again. Chu Yingyu put it back on the table silently, looking very hardworking.
"What did you dream about?" he asked.
"You turned into a shark and tried to eat me."
"Oh, did you eat it?"
“…”You die!
As I thought about it angrily, I suddenly felt the urge to pee. I didn't know if it was because I was scared or because the tea was too effective.
I whispered that I wanted to go to the toilet. I was scared to go alone, but it also felt weird to have Chu Yingyu, the shark in my nightmare, follow me.
Chu Yingyu accompanied me to the toilet, and he was waiting outside. Others might think that it was the life of an old couple, but in fact it was the owner waiting for his dog to pee on the telephone pole.
Once I put myself in their shoes, my unnecessary worries can be calmed down.
After finishing the major event in my life, I washed my hands with water in the backyard, then I caught up with Chu Yingyu in a few steps and asked him tactfully.
"Do you want to kill me now?"
"In no mood."
"What about tomorrow?"
"In no mood."
"When do you want to?"
"have no idea."
"Is it possible that it will never happen in this lifetime?"
"……have no idea."
I really want to take off my shoes and hit him on the back of the head!
I returned to my room with a heavy heart, and just as I was about to close the door, Chu Yingyu stepped in. I stared at him in a daze as he entered my room, coughing as a reminder.
"Your room is next door."
"Watch over you as you sleep."
“…”
Don't you know that you are the source of my nightmare?
Our eyes met, and he sat down on the edge of the bed with his arms folded. My eyes twitched a few times, and I moved over reluctantly.
This isn't a deserted island or cave anymore. This isn't appropriate, I said pretentiously, "Sleeping together, or?"
Unable to bear my procrastination, Chu Yingyu grabbed my wrist and threw me onto the bed, and the quilt pressed down like a mountain.
It's over. I tried to force him to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep.
As he rubbed my head, I became more and more awake. I took my hand out from under the quilt and cautiously poked the back of Chu Yingyu's hand.
"I can't sleep, can we talk?"
"...Xiaobai." He showed a subtle look as if he had nothing to talk about with you.
"I'm Xiaobai, the Talking One! Anyway, tell me about your job or something."
As soon as I finished speaking, I frowned and shut up. My request sounded like a bedtime horror story. He's a killer, so how could his job be normal?
"The first one I killed..."
"No, no, I don't want to hear about this anymore. Tell me about your life outside of work!"
"Eat, drink, defecate and urinate."
"..." I was speechless for a while. How could he be more boring than a retired old man? "Let's talk about the topic you were talking about just now, the first mission you completed."
Chu Yingyu had no talent for storytelling at all. He had no intonation and no pretense of mystery. He was straightforward, just like when reporting work.
He remembered his first mission, eliminating a traitor from the Yae Palace organization. He had accomplished it brilliantly, but his swordsmanship back then wasn't as refined as it is now, so his opponent's death was quite painful.
I don't really want to know how painful it was, but Chu Yingyu was deeply impressed and even remembered what the other person said at that time.
[I hope Achu will never betray Yae-miya]
Yes, the Yae-miya traitor who called him Achu was another male killer in the organization who had led him for a year.
Because Chu Yingyu grew rapidly and had an extremely high level of comprehension, he could be said to be a person gifted by God.
The traitorous brother soon became unable to teach Chu Yingyu, and their relationship stopped there. Half a year later, the traitorous brother betrayed Yajong Palace.
I admit that even though Chu Yingyu's story was a mess, I was still attracted by the content of the matter itself.
"Why did your young master betray the organization?"
"have no idea."
"Ah? You don't even ask?"
"I don't need to worry about it. Just carry out the mission."
"...Don't you have any feelings for that young master? He taught you for a whole year after all."
"He followed orders, and so did I."
"oh."
Oh, then I won’t worry about it, otherwise I’ll become bald.
However, Chu Yingyu was not indifferent. From then on, he worked even harder, making his sword faster and his moves more difficult to break, striving to kill with one blow.
That is to say, I can understand that he wants his opponent to die painlessly, right?
"Can you, Yajōmiya, retire? You mean, retire from this business?"
Chu Yingyu said calmly, "Okay."
My intuition told me it wouldn't be that simple, so I immediately asked, "Are there any conditions?"
"Whether it's defection or withdrawal, as long as we can defeat the opponent designated by the Palace Master."
"…Who is the designated opponent?"
“I didn’t know before, but now I do.”
You really are the King of Hell! Not only are you a nightmare to me and the people in Jianghu, but you're also a nightmare to your own people!
I swallowed, my breathing slowing down. "Excuse me, has any traitor managed to escape from your hands?"
"No."
“…”
“No one has defected in recent years.”
He seemed quite pleased, which really stimulated other people's loyalty. Hearing this, it seemed that Chu Yingyu was a very loyal dog.
All the instructions given by the Palace Master were completed very well.
"What kind of person is the master of the Eightfold Palace?"
"The Palace Master is gentle and generous, and treats the people of the Eightfold Palace very well, like an elder."
Which elder would kill you when you withdraw your shares? Do you have any misunderstanding about Wenrou? You are a weapon in the hands of others!
I calmly asked, "Is the Palace Master a man or a woman? How old is she?"
Chu Yingyu: "Why are you asking so clearly? Do you want to kill me?"
Me: "I can't even beat you, how can I beat the Palace Master!"
Chu Yingyu: "...My martial arts skills are no worse than the Palace Master's. If you can kill me, you can kill the Palace Master too."
It's hard for you, you still think I'm so powerful.
But that's not the point, is it? Alas, Chu Yingyu is even stronger than the leader of his own organization? Isn't he feared? According to the rules, if the Palace Master doesn't give his men some regular poison, he won't be able to sleep peacefully at night.
What if Chu Yingyu rebels...
"Could it be that you are the number one killer in Yae Palace?" I said this with some hesitation. After all, one should be humble.
"Yes."
Wow, the number one killer is right next to me... Woohoo, can I really still run away? While my sense of security is overflowing, my crisis index is also five stars.
Chu Yingyu was quite uncomfortable with my looking down on him. I think he would be unhappy whether he was poor or weak. This pride is a bit like the temper of young people. They don't easily think they are incompetent.
The Palace Master of the Eightfold Palace is a man named Qu Yesi, and he's celebrating his 50th birthday next year. Chu Yingyu was thinking about giving him a birthday gift, but he wanted to make sure it wasn't the head of an enemy! It was very Jianghu-like, but too old-fashioned!
Forget it. Why bother thinking of a gift for him? It’s even a question whether I can live to see next year.
"Xiaobai, do you want to sleep?"
Seeing that I was quiet for a while, Chu Yingyu asked me back, and yawned as soon as he opened his mouth. I was indeed a little sleepy.
I didn't think of refuting Xiaobai's code name, nor did I bother to correct him. I nodded along with what he said, "Sleep, don't you want to sleep?"
"I'll leave after you sleep."
"Oh, good night."
I hope that sharks like Chu Yingyu won’t appear in my dreams again.
I slept quite soundly in the second half of the night. Before dawn, I was woken up by the night watchman's ringing outside. I dozed off and went back to sleep.
But in this short period of time, I actually had a beautiful dream that was completely opposite to the first half of the night.
I dreamed that I tied Chu Yingyu up, used whips, candles and bells, blindfolded him, and then it was my turn to bully him inside out!
Although it was very embarrassing, I was really woken up by the dream that followed!
I felt like the queen who ordered him around, watching him wear cat ears and meow at me in frustration...
After waking myself up from laughing, I couldn't help myself for a while. When I went out and saw Chu Yingyu next door, I even reached out to scratch his chin in a particularly arrogant manner.
Chu Yingyu grabbed my wrist with an expressionless face. I suddenly came to my senses and was about to apologize, feeling guilty, when a ray of light suddenly flashed in the corner of my eye.
Chu Yingyu suddenly switched positions with me, spun around and protected me behind him, stretched out his left hand and caught a hidden weapon that looked like a hexagram between his fingers.
If he hadn't blocked it for me, this thing would have hit me on the head!
When I realized this, I felt a chill down my spine and a belated fear. It was really hard to guard against. The inn’s security was terrible!
"Xiao Chu, why are you looking for a woman behind my back?"
The woman's bright and clear laughter came from the lobby on the first floor. She was neither anxious nor impatient, and there was no guilt at all for having done something wrong.
Chu Yingyu looked at me first and said, "Don't be afraid."
I nodded dully, then was led downstairs by him and met the woman who threw hidden weapons at me.
Not an ugly one!
I couldn't help but reveal an expression of amazement. Although I was angry that she attacked me for no reason, she was really beautiful.
She is as beautiful as a peach or plum, with a plump figure, and has a majestic and dazzling beauty.
This older sister who looks hot at first glance and the younger brother Chu Yingyu who has an expressionless and straightforward personality are a perfect match!
