"Squeak squeak squeak!"
You two are heartless! You didn't even wait for me! I even went out of my way to find those things for you. Don't bother me next time, hmph!
"Squeak!"
If I hadn't run fast, I probably would have been burned to death. Can't you even see me? And you're still in the mood for romance?
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Woman, I think you're a woman who values men over friends—no, you're a bastard who values men over insects!
Lin Yuxin reluctantly withdrew from Li Xiaochen's arms after hearing its curses.
She blinked, watching the unusually lively Zizi in front of her. Once it had vented its frustrations, Lin Yuxin asked calmly:
"Are you done cursing? Now tell me how you got into the secret room?"
"squeak?"
Originally, it had a long, rambling speech to deliver, but it was attacked by Lin Yuxin's question. Its insect body trembled, and the rest of its words got stuck in its throat, its whole body exuding a hint of embarrassment.
Seeing its expression, Lin Yuxin knew she had asked the right question, so she leaned against Li Xiaochen's chest and watched its performance with amusement.
Seeing Lin Yuxin staring at it, Zizi shifted uncomfortably before finally speaking:
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
It's because you're too slow. I've already blended into the place with the most golden light, and you still haven't caught up. I had to go find it myself. I did find it, but there were people guarding that room.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
I originally wanted to scout ahead for you, but who knew that room was eerie? I felt uncomfortable as soon as I went in. Later, I saw someone go in, so I quietly followed them in.
Zhizhi was also extremely aggrieved, you know. He was a dignified Gu King! He lost his life while searching for treasure for this woman. It was so unjust.
"How bizarre! How so?"
Lin Yuxin frowned and asked when she heard the question.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
I don't know, but as soon as I went in, it was very cold and damp, which made me feel uncomfortable. Plus, there were other people in the room at the time, so I didn't dare to get too close!
Although Zizi is just an insect, it has lived for so long and knows quite a lot.
Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen exchanged a glance. It seemed that the problem lay with the painting. They needed to find out more about it. However, now that the painting was destroyed, if the person behind it wanted to paint another one, they would have to find more people to collect their heart's blood.
"Let's go back first!"
Li Xiaochen said softly.
"Um!"
Lin Yuxin agreed, now was not the time to linger in the battle, and with a flick of her hand, she put Zhizhi back into her spatial storage.
Then the two went straight back to the inn. As for the woodshed in the city lord's mansion? Whoever wants to stay there can stay there.
The two of them left in a very carefree manner, but the city lord's mansion was in a mess. When Fang Zhe heard that there was a fire, his heart tightened and he quickly got out of bed.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing her husband's flustered expression, Madam Fang asked him a question with concern.
"Don't meddle in things that aren't your business!"
Fang Zhe grumbled impatiently, then dragged his obese body outside.
Mrs. Fang was left sitting on the bed, her lips pursed in sadness.
When Fang Zhe arrived at the scene of the fire, his heart pounded even faster, and he hurriedly told his servants to put out the fire quickly.
"Quickly, put out the fire! Quickly!"
It's all over! All of it is gone! His paintings!! His life's work!!
After finally putting out the fire, it was already broad daylight. Fang Zhe looked at his empty study, which had been burned to the ground, and his vision went black. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
"master!!"
Meanwhile, things weren't peaceful for Qi Jiguang either. He woke up first and saw the mess on the bed and the battle record. Annoyance flashed in his eyes. He was really good at this kind of thing, but he got used to it after a few tries!
He slowly got up and dressed, and just then, the young general on the bed woke up.
He felt a sharp pain all over his body and in excruciating pain in his lower back when he moved even slightly.
He immediately sensed something was wrong, his body stiffened, and when he looked up, he saw General Qi getting dressed.
"General Qi... what's going on here...?"
The young man wasn't sure, so he cautiously asked.
“I was drugged yesterday. As for the harm done to you, I will make compensation. This was my fault.”
Qi Jiguang was not a coward who couldn't admit his mistakes; if he did something wrong, he wouldn't deny it.
But when the young man heard these words, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"General, you mean last night...? But there are two men here! How could that be??"
The young general questioned Qi Jiguang in disbelief.
Qi Jiguang didn't speak again. After he finished dressing, he spoke again:
"I'll have the army doctor take a look at you. If it's not serious, we'll leave Youlan City today, and I'll avenge you for yesterday."
The young general didn't hear what Qi Jiguang said. He hadn't yet recovered from the shock of having actually had a relationship with a man.
He's finished! He actually lost his virginity to a man?!
The young man was utterly despondent, feeling that he could no longer live. With that thought, he quickly grabbed the sword beside his bed and slashed it at his own neck.
Qi Jiguang reacted quickly, knocking the sword out of the young general's hand, but the young general was still slightly injured.
What are you doing?
Qi Jiguang frowned and reprimanded.
"What did I do? General Qi, I'm a man! How could I live with myself after being defiled by a man? How am I supposed to live?"
The young general was devastated. His family was already poor, and he had finally become a soldier under the general after joining the army. He thought he would rise to a higher position, but unexpectedly, this happened.
