"Husband~"
Gu Qingze deliberately took Chu Lingxiao's hand, leaned on his shoulder, and called him in a gentle voice.
To be honest, this scene is weird no matter how you look at it. A man is wearing women's clothes and deliberately calling another man "husband" in a hoarse voice.
However, the pedestrians on the street seemed to have never heard anything and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Occasionally one or two people turned around, but just took a few glances.
Gu Qingze was now certain that in their eyes, he should be a woman...
They were like a loving couple, holding hands and observing everything on the street.
"It looks like the streets are normal, and the people are living in peace. This is all thanks to you, my husband."
Gu Qingze said with a smile, but the deeper meaning was actually asking, "I didn't find anything unusual on the street, what should I do now?"
Chu Lingxiao understood what he meant and immediately cooperated.
"My lady, you are too kind. Why don't you come with me to the county government office to see how I handle official business and ensure the peace and well-being of the people."
The underlying meaning is, "Since there's nothing unusual on the street, why not go to the county government office and take a look? Since the illusion has given me this identity, it might be helpful in helping us break the illusion."
"Okay, then I'll listen to my husband."
Gu Qingze acted like a shy little girl and snuggled quietly in Chu Lingxiao's arms.
Obviously there should be some sense of incongruity, but when paired with Gu Qingze's face, it is surprisingly harmonious.
Chu Lingxiao was unconsciously pleased. After all, his partner had a weak look that said, "I only have eyes for you"...
He now barely understood why some men liked weak women, because there was only you in her world, and she would only regard you as her one and only. It seemed as if he could control her life at will, and she was easy to control, which could satisfy some chauvinistic men.
But... Chu Lingxiao was just experiencing it fresh and finding it novel. If Qingze acted like this all the time, he would definitely not be able to accept it.
"Lord Chu."
Just as Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were about to go to the county government office, a middle-aged man with a thick black beard stopped them.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other and both understood what each other was saying.
This man may be the key clue!
Gu Qingze remained silent and just held Chu Lingxiao's arm.
Chu Lingxiao coughed and asked, "What do you want to tell me that requires you to stop me?"
The man bowed respectfully and said.
"Sir, I have something important to report to you. There have been some strange rumors circulating in the city lately. It's said that a mysterious force is stirring up trouble in the dark."
There was a hint of nervousness in his tone.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other and were secretly delighted. This might be the clue they had been looking for.
Chu Lingxiao said in a deep voice, "Oh? What exactly is this strange rumor? Please tell me in detail."
The man frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "Sir, it is said that unidentified figures often appear in the city at night, and strange phenomena have occurred in some people's homes, such as items suddenly disappearing or some unexplained noises."
Chu Lingxiao frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Do you know the specific location where these things happened?"
