Chapter 17
I'm happy to get a little black dog. If this is a fairy world, you must at least give me an ancient mythical beast.
I brought Lai Fu back to the yard. A cold wind blew behind me. I looked back vigilantly and saw Fengwei appear.
It's only with comparison that one can truly appreciate the extraordinary power of Chu Yingyu's lightness skills. He appeared behind me, and unless he wanted me to notice him, I wouldn't have been able to sense him.
Feng Wei is already one of the best masters in Sifang Tower. When she appeared, I could still sense a trace of her. I don't mean to say she's bad, but after seeing the top level, I can feel the gap when I look at others, and thus more thoroughly understand the terror of the top.
I noticed that the other person's eyes were focused on the dog, so I moved closer to let her observe it carefully. Lai Fu sniffed in my arms and barked.
I announced forcefully, "This is the dog I found by the dog hole in the kitchen. I'm going to keep him from now on. His name is Lai Fu."
Fengwei didn't blink and said coldly, "Check."
I understand her meticulousness. If there really was something on the dog that caused me harm, she wouldn't be able to explain it. Handing Lai Fu over with one hand, I watched Fengwei playing with the dog, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
The expressionless look of the girl as she pressed the puppy to the ground, turning it over and over, and then rubbing its tail with her paw made me think Fengwei was quite cute.
"Fengwei, how old are you?"
"eighteen."
Sure enough, he is not very old.
After making sure that Lai Fu was fine, Fengwei handed the dog back to me.
Back in the house, I gave Lai Fu a good scrub, dried his fur, and then lavishly filled the bamboo basket with soft cushions and new clothes. Since I had more new clothes in my closet than I could wear, I decided to splurge.
Being poor is fine, being rich is fine too, I can adapt to it.
The clean and tidy Lai Fu became familiar with me and became more affectionate towards me. When feeding him, I began to consciously teach him some rules.
Thanks to my cousin's husband's dog, I don't lack experience in raising dogs!
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Who is it?"
"I."
Recognizing Liang Lun's voice, I went to open the door, and he walked in, weathered. The young man took off the fox fur coat from his shoulders, and I took it and hung it on the screen.
"Fengwei said you picked up a dog, I came to take a look."
"Here, there it is."
I raised my hand and pointed, Liang Lun looked over and saw a black mass in a pile of light-colored fabrics.
Liang Lun called out twice casually, and Lai Fu crawled out of the nest, sniffed his fingers, and wagged his tail happily.
"What's it called?"
"Laifu."
"Isn't Xiao Hei more suitable?"
"What's with the little white and the little black? That's too vulgar. Lai Fu has a much better meaning!"
“…”
After putting away his hand that was teasing the dog, Liang Lun sat down at the table, and I held Lai Fu on my lap to use him as a warm stove. Liang Lun certainly didn't come here specifically to tease the dog, he wouldn't have so much free time.
"Xiao E, on New Year's Eve, I invited four seniors to come over. They have a good relationship with Sifanglou and are also very interested in your situation."
Just invite me, I don’t have a veto power, it’s a pity that I can’t have a peaceful New Year.
After all, this was a matter concerning me, so even though I was unhappy, I still remained polite and asked, "Which four are they?"
"They are all important figures with great status."
"Still keeping us in suspense."
"After all, Xiao'e, you don't understand the affairs of the martial arts world, so you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"At least I can applaud you and liven up the atmosphere!"
Clap like a seal patting its belly!
"You'll know when that day comes. Have a good rest these few days."
"Okay then, everyone go to bed early and disperse."
I saw that he wanted to chat with me about something else, so I quickly pretended to be sleepy and yawned while hugging Lai Fu.
How could Liang Lun not see that I was ordering them to leave? He just curled the corners of his lips, didn't expose me, took his fox fur coat and went out.
As I stroked the dog in my hand, I suddenly felt that my life was worse than Lai Fu's. I don't know how to do research with Lai Fu!
The next day, breakfast was delivered promptly, and the variety was different every day, and now there was also a portion for Lai Fu.
As I ate the steaming hot meal, I felt a wave of hesitation, a sense of loss. Just like Liang Lun said, as long as I could safely transfer my inner energy to him, I could live a life of idleness forever...
I feel that Liang Lun can indeed guarantee that I will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Once I get the inner strength, he will also fulfill his promise.
But this inner strength is, after all, something I can rely on, something that others can't easily take away, even though it's a hot potato. And, ultimately, even if I had to give this inner strength to someone, I'd rather give it to Chu Yingyu, since it was my sudden arrival that caused him to miss out.
Taking a step back, I'm getting angrier and angrier. No, I should have run away on New Year's Eve.
I can disguise myself as a servant and get out. Those four bosses probably don't know what I look like.
It seems that the biggest obstacle to my escape is Fengwei who is supervising me, and then Liang Lun.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. The entire courtyard of Sifang Building was decorated with lights and was extremely lively. During the day, they even booked the most expensive restaurant in the city to entertain the heroes of their own building and close friends for a banquet.
But this noise was caused by others, so I continued to play with the dog in the yard.
Fengwei was in charge of looking after me. She said Liang Lun would bring four seniors over in the afternoon and then have a New Year's Eve dinner with me. The fireworks that she had promised me all night long had also been arranged.
As for the matter of internal strength, we can discuss it tomorrow when I am in a better mood.
It was so touching, but I was indifferent. The feeling of being executed was too strong. What if those four bosses decided to suck me dry to generate internal energy tomorrow? Then I would be dead.
I think Liang Lun might feel extremely guilty and kill me. Finally, I'll remember your kindness for the rest of my life. You'll build my tomb with the best stone tablets and find a top-notch feng shui site in Qingcheng to bury me. Maybe you'll even visit my grave in the first few years.
He can do it!
The more I think about it, the more I feel that my life is in danger. Please bless me, brave old man, I must escape successfully today.
At dusk, Fengwei, who was guarding outside the door, said that the young master had brought four big men to his house, and asked the steward to arrange housing for them first. It was two courtyards away from me, and they would introduce me to them tomorrow.
That's not necessary.
I sat obediently at the table holding Lai Fu, and the servants served tonight's dishes one by one. The carvings of dragons and phoenixes looked like ingredients to those who knew them, but those who didn't thought of them as works of art.
I glanced at Fengwei who was guarding the door and said, "Come and have the New Year's Eve dinner with us."
Fengwei: “No need.”
You are so cool, how can I kill two birds with one stone by using the Soul-Losing Powder?
After all the dishes were served, Liang Lun appeared in a hurry. He whispered something to Feng Wei, probably giving some orders. The girl nodded and left.
As I set the table and served the rice, I asked nonchalantly, "Why don't we let Fengwei eat with us?"
"Just now, the young master of Changwei Escort Agency came to deliver some things. I asked Fengwei to take care of it."
"Oh, have the four underworld bosses you mentioned been settled?"
"It's natural."
"Actually, you don't have to rush to have New Year's Eve dinner with me. You can go and accompany those big guys."
"In my heart, you are more valuable than them."
Tsk, once my power is taken away, I will be nothing but a weed!
Liang Lun, who is used to using his left hand, can pick up food for me smoothly and can even do such delicate work as removing fish bones.
We ate the New Year's Eve dinner peacefully on the surface. Although it didn't feel like the New Year at all, I was actually a little nervous about what I was going to do next.
"What's wrong? No appetite?" Liang Lun noticed my appearance and asked.
"Yes, you will study it tomorrow."
"Are you worried about tomorrow? Don't worry, I won't be as reckless and hurt you as last time. I know you're afraid of pain."
"Then if they say they need to turn me into a living dead, or bleed me, or even use some strange kung fu to force out this internal energy, will you refuse?"
"Of course I refuse. If anything happens to you, Xianke's inner strength will be completely lost."
"I can understand that I've only been able to save myself because of my inner strength!"
"Trust me, I won't hurt you. We are friends."
Putting down his chopsticks, Liang Lun shook my shoulder from a distance. His eyes were firm and his expression solemn, as if he really wouldn't do anything rash for the sake of inner strength.
But I would rather believe that he just hasn't found a better way yet, and the ones he is cheating are his stupid friends!
I sighed and pretended to be sincere, "I believe you. It's not that I'm not willing to give you this inner strength. I just hope you can find a way to avoid hurting me. I will fully cooperate!"
"Be good, after we finish eating, we'll go to Feixing Tower to watch the fireworks."
"By the way, I learned how to sew a sachet for you yesterday. Take a look!"
I clapped my hands and stood up to get something from the dressing table. From the moment I turned around, I had been holding my breath.
I took the sachet and handed it to Liang Lun. He didn't say anything about my poor craftsmanship, but smiled encouragingly and said, "If you like this craft, I'll find an embroiderer to let you learn from me next time."
"No problem, smell it and see if it smells good! I put some spices there to calm the nerves."
Maybe it was because I usually acted too harmless and indifferent, Liang Lun lifted the sachet without any suspicion and took a closer look.
I counted silently in my mind.
five,……
“Bang—”
I thought that Liang Lun, a martial artist, could at least survive the last five counts, but he fell down in an instant without any warning.
Losing Soul Powder is incredibly effective. I once experimented with it myself, adding a tiny amount to my soup, and I slept like a dead pig that night. But I was afraid it would be too obvious to put the drug in food, so I also tried smelling it.
This inhalation method is also very effective. I slept soundly during the experiment. Maybe Fengwei, who was guarding me outside the door, thought I had high-quality sleep like a baby.
I quickly glanced outside the door, closed the doors and windows, and dragged Liang Lun, who had fainted on the chair, under the bed.
Lai Fu was eating meat, but when he saw me working so hard to "drag the corpse", he came over to help me, holding Liang Lun's collar and dragging it hard.
He is indeed a good dog that I have!
About a quarter of an hour later, Fengwei's voice was heard outside the door. She knocked on the door and said, "Young Master, the gifts have been arranged."
I had just hidden Liang Lun under the bed, and she had returned so quickly. My original plan was to pretend Liang Lun was no longer in the room, thus sending Feng Wei off to look for him. Then I would change into my servant's clothes and take Lai Fu with me, escaping through the dog hole in the kitchen.
"Young Master."
Fengwei's voice was heard outside the door again. If I kept silent, she would definitely come in because she was so alert, but if I spoke, she would probably think it was unreasonable.
Because every time it was Liang Lun who communicated with her directly, there was no need for me to be the middleman!
I had to respond: "Liang Lun just went out for something."
"Really? Then let me take a look at you."
The little girl is really not easy to fool!
I was so anxious that I was fuming. I simply covered my mouth and nose with the mask I had made earlier, grabbed a handful of Losing Soul Powder, and waited for Fengwei to come in so that I could kill her with a bang.
I took the dog aside to avoid accidentally hurting it. Then I said, "Fengwei, come in."
Hiding behind the door with full concentration, holding the Soul-Losing Powder in my hand, I felt like my whole body was broken into pieces.
“Squeak—”
After the slight sound of the door opening, I caught a glimpse of toes stepping over the threshold, followed by the girl's beautiful profile. At this moment, I raised my arms to release the Soul-Losing Powder.
As soon as I raised my hand, Fengwei grabbed my wrist without even blinking. She gripped my wrist hard and I cried out in pain. My fingers were forced to loosen and my body scattered all over the floor.
It turns out that the killer can detect danger at the fastest speed without using her eyes. She not only uses her eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even breathing and skin to feel. Everything in the environment will be the key to victory or defeat.
I thought she could catch me, maybe because I was breathing so fast that I didn't even notice it.
"What did you do? Where is the young master? The servants didn't even see him leave your room."
Oh no, it turns out I was exposed from the very beginning of my answer.
Because she couldn't touch me, Fengwei questioned coldly, but compared to her usual indifference, there was a hint of toughness and anxiety in her tone at this moment.
"I made the young master into a bun and ate it!"
“…” Fengwei squeezed my hand tightly.
"Ah, it hurts! I was just kidding. I hid him under the bed. I was just playing hide-and-seek with you during the holidays!"
Of course she didn't believe what I said. Lai Fu saw that I was twisted and let out a vicious dog roar. Feng Wei turned his cold eyes to the dog, which made me break out in a cold sweat and quickly scolded him.
"Laifu, go away! Go out and play!"
If someone steps on you both with one kick, we can run away if one of us can!
The dog and I were connected, sensing my fear and anxiety. Lai Fu circled in circles, refusing to run. Feng Wei, however, was too distracted to bother with the dog. She tossed him a hydrangea I usually used to tease the dog, and Lai Fu finally took off running.
"Why do this?" Fengwei asked.
"The answer is no. I don't want to give away all my skills, nor do I want to be kept in captivity without freedom. In short, it's not good. I don't want this kind of life, and this is not the right way to make friends. I might be killed tomorrow to get the eggs. I'm crazy not to resist!"
"I didn't ask you that. I just wanted to know why you hurt the young master. He obviously cared so much about you."
“…”Is that the intention behind raising pigs?
It’s confirmed, you just like him. If you have the guts, go confess to him. Why are you holding on to me?
Fengwei, who had been acting as the Ice Beauty, was vaguely angry, and I could tell that she was trying to restrain herself from attacking me.
Come on! I am so angry that I am afraid of you even though I am about to die!
I was ready to fight to the death, biting down with my teeth, but the grip on me suddenly loosened. It was very abrupt, and I watched in shock as the girl in front of me collapsed to the ground.
Did she have a seizure? Or did a thousandth of the Lost Soul Powder get to her?
I pulled off the mask covering my mouth and nose, secretly rejoicing at God's blessing, when out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the wide-open window.
The boy, who seemed too delicate to be real, sat quietly by the window, throwing a few stones in his hands.
The source of my nightmares, the source of my avoidance, appeared without warning.
It seemed that Chu Yingyu used these small stones to hit Fengwei's acupoints, causing her to fall down. As a killer, she didn't even notice that there was someone else in the room.
His dim gaze rested on me, and Chu Yingyu seemed to be thinking about which leg of mine to break. It was obvious that he was a little troubled.
I was so stunned that I was frozen and my legs were shaking involuntarily.
Lai Fu, ah Lai Fu, the name Lai Fu, not disaster! What the hell did you bring to me? Could it be that Chu Yingyu is my blessing?
