Chapter 9: Law-abiding Big Bear
Shen Yuexi wanted to cry but had no tears.
This damn chicken, why did it come out at this time instead of earlier or later?
She looked at the pheasant, and the pheasant was looking at her.
Staring at each other.
"Cuckoo!" The pheasant called out and spread its wings and flew into the cave.
"Help me catch the chicken!" the man in black shouted, and excitedly dived into the cave, just in time to meet Xiao Zhuo.
A cold light flashed, and Xiao Zhuo's steel knife accurately pierced his throat.
The man in black had an expression of extreme astonishment on his face, his eyes widened, his throat gurgled, and his hand fell from the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Xiao Zhuo grabbed the collar of the man in black with his left hand and dragged him into the cave like a dead fish.
Shen Yuexi covered her mouth with both hands and stepped back repeatedly.
She had seen murders in the ruined temple, but seeing it so close up in broad daylight still horrified her.
The emperor has ordered that anyone seeing her and Xiao Zhuo should be killed without mercy.
If they don't kill the other party, the other party will kill them. In order to protect themselves, they can only be ruthless.
"Go catch that chicken." Xiao Zhuo looked up and whispered to her while dragging the body of the man in black into the cave.
Catch chickens?
Shen Yuexi was a little confused for a moment. Why was she asked to catch a chicken at this critical moment of life and death?
But since Xiao Zhuo asked her to do this, he must have his own intentions.
She quickly grabbed the knife and chased after the pheasant that was taking a leisurely walk.
"Cuckoo!" The pheasant saw her chasing it and called out contemptuously, spreading its wings and flying away. Although Shen Yuexi had reached out, she couldn't even catch the pheasant's tail.
I didn't expect this chicken to be so cunning.
"Big Bear, help me quickly." Shen Yuexi thought of a solution in a hurry.
"Dear master, what do you want to make?" Big Bear responded in a baby voice.
Shen Yuexi didn't have time to think for a moment, and shouted in her heart while chasing: "Roast chicken, make it into a roast chicken!"
The cave is definitely less than five meters in radius, and Big Bear can turn this hateful pheasant into a delicious roast chicken in an instant.
"Dear Master, there are living animals within the collection area. According to Article 777 of the Animal Protection Act, the Universal Fabricator cannot obtain raw materials from living animals."
What does that mean? She can only make roast chicken after she catches and kills it?
Shen Yuexi chased the pheasant again. The pheasant cackled and flew lightly to the other side.
At this time, another voice was heard outside the cave, and he said with a smile: "You are a royal guard after all. It's so hard for you to catch a chicken. Let me help you. When it's roasted, you can share half with me."
Shen Yuexi was busy catching chickens and didn't notice the voices outside.
She looked at the arrogant pheasant and her bright eyes turned.
The reason pheasants can't be caught is because they can fly. They can fly because they have wings, and wings allow chickens to fly because they have feathers...
Done.
"Big Bear, I remembered that I need to make a feather duster. I need a large one."
After Shen Yuexi finished speaking, the scene of this hateful pheasant suddenly turning into a bald, hairless chicken suddenly appeared in her mind.
Before she could laugh out loud, Big Bear poured another basin of cold water on her head.
"Dear Master, there are living animals within the collection area. According to Article 142 of the Animal Protection Law, the Universal Fabricator cannot obtain raw materials from living animals."
You are not allowed to make roast chicken or feather duster.
It seems that as long as this chicken is alive, the universal manufacturing machine can't do anything to it.
Shen Yuexi was furious: "Who invented this animal protection law? It can't even deal with a chicken?"
"Dear Master, the Universal Fabricator must abide by 4,981 laws..."
Before Daxiong could finish his words, Shen Yuexi had already cut off the connection angrily.
"Yuexi, there's no need to catch that chicken."
Xiao Zhuo's deep voice called her back.
Shen Yuexi turned around and saw another corpse on the ground.
Now she finally understood that Xiao Zhuo wanted her to scare the pheasant so that the person outside the cave would mistakenly think that his companions were catching chickens inside, and then enter without any precautions.
She had completed the task assigned by Xiao Zhuo...
Xiao Zhuo took her hand and walked towards the cave entrance: "We have to leave as soon as possible. If we stay here, we will be discovered sooner or later."
Shen Yuexi walked to the entrance of the cave and looked back with some dissatisfaction.
The pheasant seemed to know that Shen Yuexi couldn't do anything to it, and was strutting around the cave, looking like it was the boss here.
This is clearly a provocation.
Seeing her angry look, Xiao Zhuo reached out and took the knife from her hand, and in her puzzled gaze, he quickly threw it at the pheasant.
"Gugu?"
As soon as the pheasant called out, the knife pierced its breast with a whistling sound.
“Gah!”
The pheasant flapped its wings and flew half a foot high, then fell headfirst to the ground.
Shen Yuexi widened her eyes and almost laughed out loud.
This pheasant was so arrogant just now, but now she is no longer arrogant. She finally got revenge for being teased just now. She looked at Xiao Zhuo with gratitude.
I told you, people shouldn’t be too arrogant, and the same goes for chickens. Isn’t this the end result?
After picking up the pheasant and holding it in her hand, Shen Yuexi followed Xiao Zhuo out of the cave with a smile.
"Husband, where are we going now?"
After exiting the cave, the view opened up. This jungle seemed incredibly vast, and it would take a while to get out.
It would be very difficult for her to be here alone. Firstly, it was extremely difficult to tell the direction in the vast jungle and it was easy to get lost. Secondly, if she accidentally strayed into the territory of a wild animal, her life would be in jeopardy.
"Let's leave this jungle first and then go to the northwestern border." Xiao Zhuo answered quickly.
Yue Xi was a little confused and stopped where she was.
Wasn't the Northwest Frontier their destination for exile? Why would they go there specifically after escaping?
Since it was a place of exile, the northwestern frontier must be extremely poor. It was definitely not a suitable place to live. With such poor mountains and bad water, even bathing might be difficult.
Seeing her stop where she was, Xiao Zhuo turned back and explained, "You heard what those people said just now. Hunting you and me is the emperor's will. No matter where we flee, we will not be safe."
Shen Yuexi lowered her eyes and muttered to herself.
All under heaven belongs to the king. What Xiao Zhuo said does make sense. Compared with the quality of life, life is definitely more important.
"Dayan's place of exile is adjacent to the enemy country. It is extremely barren, cold, and uninhabited. Since we escaped, the enemy must have thought that we were taking advantage of this opportunity to head to the rich land in the south." Xiao Zhuo continued to explain.
Who would have thought that Xiao Zhuo would actually flee to the place where they were originally intended to be exiled?
This is the opposite of what is expected.
She understood and looked at Xiao Zhuo. Xiao Zhuo had one hand behind his back, the other holding a long sword, facing the wind with a solemn look.
The future is full of dangers. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky for the two people to escape from the pursuit of the emperor who controls the entire world.
Furthermore, the person pursuing her had already said that if they saw the deposed Crown Prince and the deposed Crown Princess, they would be killed without mercy. She and Xiao Zhuo were now in the same boat. She couldn't just sit back and relax.
Since the emperor wanted them to die, she insisted on living well. As for Xiao Zhuo... Shen Yuexi looked at him. This powerful figure also wanted to live well.
No matter whether it is the emperor or anyone else, no one can stop her.
"I understand," she stretched out a hand to hold Xiao Zhuo, and smiled brightly, "Husband, let's go."
