Divine thought infusion... Xue Huan chewed on the word and felt that she still had too little experience.
In this fantasy world, there are many things beyond her understanding.
Wu Qi sighed with lingering fear: "I guess I won't be able to open this eye for a long time."
Xue Huan: "Are you sure I'm the person you're looking for who can stop the demon insect disaster?" Although she knew that everything Wu Qi said under the effect of the truth talisman was true, what if she was wrong?
Wu Qi looked her up and down, scratching his furry face. "Although I'm quite skeptical, if there's no other person in this world with a phoenix shadow behind them, then it must be you."
Xue Huan felt a funny sense of powerlessness in her heart. She drank a sip of tea to calm down and asked some more questions, such as what the inner world was like, what the magic insects looked like, how they invaded, etc.
Wu Qi told her everything he knew.
When there was nothing more to ask, Xue Huan took back the talisman and said, "Alright, you can go now."
She couldn't hold a monkey to human moral standards. After all, she didn't have the concept of "stealing" in her mind. So she didn't plan to send the monkey to the government.
Wu Qi was unwilling to leave. "The Great Elder said that if I find you, I must stay with you. You can't chase me away."
Xue Huan: This is still her fault, right?
"Then tell me, what can you do? I can't keep someone who eats for free around me, right?"
"As for me, I can do a lot. I can climb trees. No matter how high a tree is, it's no big deal for me. I can also run fast. If you hadn't cheated and used the talisman to control me just now, I would have run away long ago. I can also see through all illusions..."
Wu Qi tried hard to promote himself to Xue Huan.
Xue Huan thought for a moment and said, "I can take you in, but you can't take things from the store casually anymore."
"no problem!"
Xue Huan had Zhenniang called over and introduced Wu Qi. "This is my new clerk. Have someone take her under your wing for a few days and see how she performs. If she performs well, she can stay. If not—"
Wu Qi said first: "I will definitely perform well!"
Zhenniang took the man away and handed him over to Chunyan. From that day on, Wu Qi became a new clerk at Zhaoji Snack Shop.
Xue Huan kept Zhen Niang and told her about Wu Qi's situation, which of course was artistically processed.
"She used to live with her tribe deep in the mountains and forests. She doesn't know the rules of the outside world and has no money, so she comes to the store to steal food. I feel sorry for her, so I decided to give her a chance. Keep a close eye on her and don't let her cause any trouble."
"Yes, girl."
Vientiane City.
This city is a suburb of the imperial capital Tianyong, less than thirty miles away from Tianyong City. It can be reached in half a day by horseback riding.
There are three such additional cities in the other three directions. The four cities guard the imperial capital in the center like satellites.
Because it was so close to the Imperial Capital, merchants and travelers from the South had to pass through it. Vientiane City was very prosperous, comparable to the Imperial Capital. However, it lacked the grandeur of the Imperial Capital and was more bustling with the atmosphere of ordinary life.
After Pei Ji arrived here, he was not in a hurry to go to Beijing.
The journey was not peaceful, but he changed his appearance and arranged several other teams to enter the capital from different directions. So far, he has not encountered any assassination attempts.
I guess the emperor and his brothers are anxious?
Pei Ji looked at the pedestrians and vehicles outside the window, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
At this moment, the sound of flapping wings came into his ears. Pei Ji's eyes lit up and he looked up at the sky. A black dot came into his sight. Soon, the black dot turned into a snow-white dove and flew in front of Pei Ji and landed in his open palm.
Pei Ji stroked the spirit pigeon's back, took off the storage bag hanging around its neck, took out food and water from his own storage bag and placed them in front of it.
Looking at the spirit pigeon lowering its head to peck at the food, Pei Ji couldn't help but smile.
Perhaps it was because he loved the pigeon so much, and this spiritual pigeon was the messenger between him and Huanhuan, so he was particularly fond of this pigeon, and he would feel much happier every time he saw it coming.
Pei Ji took out the things from the storage bag. When he saw the thin nightgown, his breath caught in his throat. Huanhuan actually——
The texture of the nightgown was very smooth, just like her skin. Holding it in her hand, Pei Ji couldn't help but recall the scene of her wearing this nightgown that night.
After reading the letter, he finally understood why she did this.
He couldn't help but laugh and sigh. Huanhuan was so naughty. However, he really liked this reward. It could barely comfort his longing for her.
When falling asleep, Pei Ji held the nightgown in his arms and sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from it. He became more and more impatient, and finally fell asleep with great difficulty.
That night, he had a beautiful and lingering dream, and the dream was all about her.
She was wearing that gorgeous red dress, and walked barefoot on the dark black gold stone floor, step by step towards him, and every step seemed to be stepping on his heart.
When she came to him, she wrapped her two white and slender legs around his waist and kissed him with a smile, like a fairy sucking people's souls.
He thought, even if she was a fairy, he would be willing to die on her.
He hugged her tightly and kissed her almost fiercely, but at this moment, she suddenly disappeared from his arms and appeared on the other side, smiling wickedly and hooking her finger at him.
He kept chasing her, but she always ran away at the last moment.
"Huanhuan..."
Finally, she stopped running and he finally trapped her in his arms.
"Huanhuan!" Pei Ji woke up as soon as he said this.
Realizing that it was just a dream, he couldn't help but feel an endless sense of loss.
The more passionate and lingering the dream is, the more empty and cold the reality is.
Pei Ji put one hand on his forehead, closed his eyes, and sat up after a while.
Feeling the mess beneath him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I got up and went to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and only then did I suppress my anger.
After breakfast, Pei Ji gave the order: "Let's go."
The subordinates were puzzled. Didn't their master say they should wait a while before heading to the capital? Of course, they only thought about it in their hearts and didn't say it out loud. They would do whatever their master said.
Pei Ji did think so originally, but now, he can't wait any longer.
Fengchi, teahouse.
"Hey, have you heard? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dead! He's even returned to the capital!"
"Hey, your news is already out of date. Not only has the prince returned to Beijing, he has also overturned the case against the Huo family. All the ministers who participated in framing the Huo family have been killed!" The man made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"I was wondering how the Huo family could be the kind of traitors secretly plotting rebellion. Think about how many times the Huo family army has driven away those foreigners and protected us ordinary people. If it weren't for the Huo family army, would we be able to live in peace today? When the Huo family was exterminated, I sighed."
