Chapter 862 I just want to see you
To take them for one's own use?
Should we offer them surrender?
That's possible!
Song Chunxue's gaze toward Song Che suddenly became ardent.
Song Che was immediately terrified and involuntarily took a step back, his ornate gold chain trembling violently.
"You dare!" Song Che pointed at Song Chunxue, "Do you, a country bumpkin, deserve it?"
Although his voice was arrogant, he seemed a bit insecure.
"Am I worthy?" Song Chunxue looked at Wuyou with a seemingly genuine but actually feigned expression.
"Oh!"
Wuyou said coldly, "He's not worthy, so I'll just have to eat him. This kind of old beast who harms everyone can bring us immeasurable merit, so why not just eat him?"
"etc……"
"Crack!"
Before Song Che could stop him, one of his arms was cut off and disappeared without a trace.
"..." Song Che stared blankly at his arm, then opened his mouth in horror, "Ahhhhhh!"
Song Chunxue covered her ears, silently asking Wuyou, "What kind of approach is this?"
"The strategy is to be one step ahead of the enemy, and not let them think we lack confidence. When two armies are facing off, we must not show any weakness. Moreover, you are his nemesis, the kind that is completely countered by him in terms of the Five Elements and Eight Characters. If he doesn't submit, he will have to kneel down."
He laughed arrogantly, "Don't you have a saying that goes, 'Speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts'? This beast is neither human nor ghost, so you have to be even more capricious and wicked than him for him to be afraid."
Seeing Song Che kneeling on the ground wailing and howling, his face turned even more purple with each glance at the bloody broken part, making him look rather pitiful.
Indeed, the saying "every pitiful person has something hateful about them" applies perfectly to Song Che.
Song Chunxue didn't want to associate with this kind of person.
She asked, "Was the delicious food you mentioned earlier his flesh? Don't be shy, since he's crippled, just eat him too. He's not a good person, why keep him around?"
"No, no, no, please don't!" Song Che realized he was helpless against the man and the sword. Ignoring his snot and tears, he pleaded in his hoarse voice, "Don't eat me, please don't eat me, I'm still useful."
"Tch, what use is it? I wouldn't even want it as fertilizer," Wuyou scoffed coldly. "Or do you have connections above you?"
"Yes, yes, of course!"
"..." Song Chunxue looked at Wuyou, unable to ignore his pleading look, and said to him with her divine sense, "You are still the best."
Half an hour later...
Song Che scrambled out of the clothing shop, while Song Chunxue, carrying the gold and silver treasures that Wuyou had looted, followed him out in disbelief.
"Snap out of it."
Suddenly, the senior brother's voice came from above.
Song Chunxue looked up at Song Che, who was being restrained behind him, and lowered her voice, "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"
"I heard from my men that Song Che was there. Are you alright?" Lord Zhao laughed before he could finish his sentence. "I can tell you're fine. We can talk about it in detail tonight. I'll interrogate Song Che first. Where's He Xiu?"
Oh right, He Xiu is still dizzy.
Song Chunxue was so captivated by those dozens of boxes of valuable items that she forgot all about her companions.
She quickly turned around and woke He Xiu up.
"Smack."
Lord Zhao snapped his fingers, and He Xiu instantly opened his eyes.
Lord Zhao explained, "It's just a mind-controlling spell; I'll teach you later."
"Um."
When He Xiu came to his senses, he had already followed Song Chunxue to the third floor of a teahouse and ordered a pot of pre-rain Longjing tea.
"Longjing?"
He Xiu's eyes lit up, and he happily poured himself a cup. "Did you find money? You dare to buy such expensive tea here? Is that true?"
He took a sip and said to himself, "My master once received a gift from the Emperor, which was pre-rain Longjing tea. He treasured it so much that he gave me a small pinch, and he was heartbroken for a long time."
"Clang!"
Suddenly, a large wooden box appeared on the table. It was a precious wooden box made by a master craftsman, and it was very heavy.
"What is this for?" He Xiu raised his hand to stroke the exquisite copper pattern on the edge. "It's quite beautiful. What kind of New Year's gift is this for me? It's so elaborate."
He rubbed his hands together. "I'm actually a little embarrassed. I wasn't prepared at all."
Song Chunxue couldn't help but chuckle, "Open it and take a look."
Without thinking much, He Xiu raised his hand and lifted the lid. The next moment, his eyes slowly widened as he stared intently at what was inside.
"Smack!"
"They really robbed us?"
He Xiu slammed the box shut, pointed at it with his index finger, and shouted, "This isn't something ordinary people can afford! Are you trying to harm me? What have I done to offend you?"
Satisfied with his reaction, Song Chunxue knew when to stop.
She took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Song Che gave it to me. He made you faint just now, so I'm sharing the spoils with you."
"..." He Xiu's expression instantly regained its composure, followed by a long silence.
He picked up his teacup and took two sips.
He then quickly opened the box, grabbed the contents, and moved them around forcefully.
He had seen gold before, but he had never seen so many beautiful ones. They looked like gold ingots taken directly from a vault and never passed through anyone else's hands. They were so clean and beautiful that he couldn't bear to part with them. He had never seen anything like them before!
He picked up the gold ingot, the size of a walnut, brought it to his nose, and smelled it carefully, looking completely captivated.
"Ah, it smells so good, smell it."
Curious, Song Chunxue picked one up and brought it to her nose. "What does it smell like?"
"The taste of gold is even more nourishing than that of Solomon's seal. Just the thought that I will have this wealth from this day forward and be able to buy the things I've wanted for over a decade but couldn't make makes me feel wonderful."
Song Chunxue laughed out loud, "I'm glad you like it."
"Thanks to Master Song, let's go! Why are you still drinking tea? I'll take you somewhere!" As soon as he finished speaking, He Xiu grabbed the box and jumped out of the window.
"..." Song Chunxue felt inexplicably familiar with this scene.
She got up and left the tea money on the table before going downstairs.
They didn't forget to apply an invisibility talisman.
Otherwise, she would end up like He Xiu, being pointed at and gossiped about.
But what she didn't expect was that He Xiu would take her back to the Taoist temple and draw lucky charms for each of the young Taoist priests.
She wanted to cry but had no tears.
But she couldn't call him a money-grubber.
Many people are not as greedy as she is.
She experienced being the center of attention and receiving money from the God of Wealth at Baiyun Temple. How wonderful!
That evening, He Xiu personally escorted her to the gate of the Xie residence.
"Let's go, we'll come back to pick you up tomorrow."
"No need..." Before she could finish speaking, He Xiu had already disappeared.
As they entered the backyard, Xie Zheng emerged from inside wearing only a light shirt, smiling as he took her hand.
"I knew you were coming back. How was your trip?"
Feeling the warmth of his palm, Song Chunxue smiled and nodded, "It's fun."
Xie Zheng crossed three thresholds and led Song Chunxue into the inner room to sit down.
"This room is warm. Have you eaten?" Xie Zheng pressed her down to sit on the couch. "Sit for a while. I'll have someone bring you some food. After that, I want to discuss something with you."
Song Chunxue took his hand and made him sit next to her.
"I've already eaten. Let's sit down and talk for a bit. There's no rush."
"Then shall I brew you tea, or perhaps some wine?" Xie Zheng was about to get up. "I've already prepared everything, just waiting for you to return."
Song Chunxue grabbed him and gently hugged his waist. "There's no rush. Lord Xie, when I was out, all I thought about was getting back to you."
"..."
