Chapter 1733 Do you know that you are just my bodyguard?
Li Chi sat at the table and drank all the medicine.
The medicinal soup was pitch black in color and tasted bitter just by smelling it, but he had no sense of taste and had no reaction at all.
Xia Fuyi couldn't help but pour him a cup of tea. Li Chi took it very naturally and drank a sip. Then he played with the teacup and lowered his head slightly and said lightly,
"Fuyi, do you know that I am hiring you to be my bodyguard now?"
Xia Fuyi blinked and said,
"Know."
Some bad intuition made her eyes darken slightly.
But Li Chi did not stop.
He raised his head, and looked at the girl with a pair of gentle eyes behind the mask. His light-colored pupils reflected the candlelight, but there was an exceptionally cold feeling in them.
"Then you know, as a guard, you are not qualified to ask about anything concerning your employer."
Xia Fuyi was stunned. She looked at Li Chi, and after a moment, a hint of hurt finally flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed this emotion clumsily.
The girl still said to him with a cold look,
"I understand. I won't ask again."
Li Chi smiled slightly and said lightly,
"Then you can go out."
Xia Fuyi stood up, turned around and walked out. Just as she was about to walk out of the room, the Dragon Abyss on her waist suddenly vibrated with a humming sound.
She was startled and looked down. The sword only vibrated once and then there was no movement.
For a famous sword of Long Yuan's level, there should be very few weapons in the world that can cause it to resonate actively.
Is there any magical weapon in this room?
She turned her head and looked around the room, finally fixing her eyes on a long box beside the bed.
The box was pitch black and tightly closed, and it had an inexplicably cold texture under the candlelight.
While staring at the long box, she suddenly felt a cool gaze falling on her.
It’s Li Chi.
Xia Fuyi slowly withdrew her gaze and walked out of the room.
Not until the white figure disappeared from sight did the man, who had been smiling and looking gentle, slowly put away all his expressions.
He placed his elbows on the table, supported his forehead with his palms, and closed his eyes slightly.
The whole person's aura instantly became decadent and dark.
He remained silent the entire time, and Lian Tang stood beside him, not daring to make a sound.
It was not until a long time later that the man gave a low order.
"Go get some wine."
Lian Tang's expression showed resistance for a moment, but as he looked at the lazy figure at the table exuding a gloomy atmosphere, he finally walked out silently.

From that day on, Xia Fuyi never asked about Li Chi again.
She even began to keep a distance from him cautiously.
When camping outdoors, she would lean against the shaft of the cart and doze off like Lian Tang, or she would find a fire under a tree in the woods and sleep next to it. But she was a restless sleeper and almost rolled into the fire many times. Until one day, she woke up feeling abnormally hot and found a long black belt tied around her waist.
It had an intricate pattern and the fabric was clearly high-end—not her own.
Xia Fuyi turned over and looked back, and saw the silver-faced man sleeping against a tree.
The other end of the belt was tied around his waist. At this moment, the belt was tightened, so Xia Fuyi stopped just one step away from the fire.
The fire was crackling and burning. Xia Fuyi rested her head on the firelight and stared at Li Chi, silently in a daze.
