Chapter 167 I have a friend who is being cheated on, but I don’t know how to talk to him…
"Hui Niang!"
Entering the attic, Wang Longqi called out and happily led Li Chu in.
A woman in elegant white and soft casual clothes slowly walked down the stairs. Look at her, her eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, often filled with rain and cloud sorrow; her face is like peach blossoms in March, hiding the charm of the moon...
When she saw Li Chu for the first time, she was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wang Longqi, smiled, and spoke in a soft voice.
"Qilang, is this your friend?"
Wang Longqi nodded to her and said, "Yes, that's the good brother I often mentioned to you."
"Oh." The woman named Hui Niang suddenly realized: "It's the one you always talk about...who looks just as good as you...Little Taoist Priest Li, right?"
"Oh, yes." Wang Longqi nodded heavily.
"Qilang's brother..." Hui Niang walked down and said softly, "Then I should call him uncle according to etiquette."
Out of fear of the remaining wine, Li Chu quickly raised his hand: "That's not necessary."
He turned around and said, "Just call me Taoist Xiao Li. People in Yuhang Town call me that."
"Haha." Hui Niang smiled with her hands covering her mouth. "Master Xiao Li is also an interesting person."
As she spoke, she helped Wang Longqi change his clothes and brought him tea. She looked like a diligent and virtuous woman.
Then he boiled water and cooked a table of dishes, and his cooking skills were quite good.
What made Li Chu feel particularly comfortable was that she never looked at him again during the entire banquet, and the occasional eye contact was normal.
However, as soon as her eyes met Wang Longqi, she was extremely gentle and caring, which made Wang Longqi so happy that he couldn't close his legs.
After the meal, Li Chu also felt something strange.
Judging from the girl's attitude, it doesn't seem like she likes Wang Longqi, but rather likes to owe him something? However, he never understood matters of the heart, and was too lazy to think about it.
After the banquet, Wang Longqi sent Li Chu onto the boat before returning.
…
As soon as he returned to the attic, Wang Longqi went upstairs excitedly, put his arm around Hui Niang, and said, "I think I kind of want to marry you."
"Ah? Why do you suddenly say that?" Hui Niang asked in surprise and joy.
Wang Longqi said frankly: "The women I knew before... and the female ghosts... and the female demons..."
"Anyway, any female creature who sees me and Li Chu standing together will immediately not even look at me."
"I was quite worried today, but after seeing your performance, I think you are a rare good girl."
Hui Niang held his hand and said softly, "Qi Lang, don't belittle yourself. In my eyes, you are much more handsome than him."
Wang Longqi was deeply moved and held the hand of the woman in front of him tightly, thinking that he must cherish this rare blind person for the rest of his life.
There was also a gleam of light in Hui Niang's eyes, but after flashing twice, they suddenly became dull again.
"You are willing to do so, but will your family agree?" she asked in a low voice.
Although she was not a prostitute, she was alone and helpless, and it was quite difficult for a wealthy family like the Wang family to marry her off in a formal way.
Wang Longqi was shaken at first, then he frowned and said, "At worst, we can fight."
"Ah? Are you going to fight with your family?" Hui Niang was startled.
"No, I'm going to fight you." Wang Longqi said with a determined face: "My parents are most looking forward to having a grandchild. If we have a child soon, I don't believe they will not compromise!"
After hearing this, Hui Niang also agreed resolutely: "As soon as possible, as soon as possible."
Wang Longqi was about to undress when he suddenly remembered something. He picked up the talisman that was folded into a triangle at his waist and smiled at it.
"You can't just watch the big show anymore, next is the paid content."
After saying that, he stuffed the talisman under the pillow, covering it tightly without leaving any gaps.
"What is this?" Hui Niang asked.
"It's nothing, just a little gadget Li Chu gave me." Wang Longqi answered casually.
…
The next day, Wang Longqi went out again early in the morning, in a hurry, and it was unknown what he remembered.
After he left for a while, Hui Niang got up from the bed, walked to the window, and supported the window frame with her hands.
I wanted to open the window, but I felt tired. But I pulled my hand back, and it felt a bit regretful.
After a struggle between her conscience and her desires, she finally opened the window, propped it up with a bamboo pole, and then tied the yellow yarn to the pole, letting it flutter in the wind.
She went back to the bed to rest.
After a while, no one knocked on the door, but a puff of green smoke floated into the door from the backyard and disappeared in a flash.
A man in a brocade robe with a red flower on his hat appeared in the bedroom on the second floor. He was tall and handsome, but there was a lingering evil spirit between his brows.
"Young lady——"
As soon as the man appeared, he laughed evilly.
"Bastard." Hui Niang rolled her eyes at him and let him get on the bed.
Seeing her tired face, the man asked with a smile: "Maybe it was rainy and windy last night?"
Hui Niang said unhappily, "Of course, you know that after tasting your Lihuan Pill, it will be difficult for mortals to move me. No matter how violent his wind is, how can I produce even a drop of rain?"
"Hehe." The man laughed twice again, then turned his hand, and a snow-white pill appeared in his palm.
Hui Niang bit her lip hard as she looked at the pill that she loved and hated at the same time. After a pause, she said sadly, "But I don't know if there will be another chance in the future."
"What's the meaning?"
"Last night Qilang told me...that he wanted to marry me, and I...I already felt guilty towards him, so there was no reason for me to refuse. But...but..." Hui Niang said hesitantly.
"But you are going to be the wife of a wealthy family from now on?" The man frowned, covered his hand, and took the pill back.
"Why shouldn't I do it?" Hui Niang asked.
The man frowned and thought deeply for a while, and a hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes.
"If I could find a way to make you marry Wang Longqi and stay with me forever, would you be willing?" he asked solemnly.
"This... is there a way to have the best of both worlds?"
"I have it." The man raised his eyebrows: "What if I become Wang Longqi?"
"You turned into him?" Hui Niang exclaimed in surprise.
"I have recently been connected with a big force in the Western Regions, called the Yi Yao Sect. There are many big monsters in the sect, and they are good at transforming monsters into rich and powerful people, ensuring that no trace is left."
"Then...then where will Qilang go?" Hui Niang asked fearfully.
"He will go wherever you want him to go..." The man smiled sinisterly. After that, he picked up the pill and handed it over: "I'll make it rain heavily for you first."
Hui Niang's eyes were like water: "Be gentle, my waist is sore."
"It's okay, just put it on."
The man said, picking up a pillow on one side...
…
Li Chu wanted to take a look at the scene where Xingsui Fu was on Wang Longqi's side.
But considering the guy's past deeds, he wasn't sure at what time of night to watch it so as not to see any content that was banned.
Just waited overnight.
After dawn, Li Chu woke up, thought about it, and waited for two more hours before closing his eyes and concentrating.
There were faintly two bright lights in the sea of consciousness of the soul, representing the location of the Xingsui Talisman, one far and one near. Li Chu chose the farther one.
A clear perspective suddenly opened up.
The picture was covered with a thick mosaic. Li Chu frowned and cut it out in less than a second.
What time is it...
Too much...
Thinking of this, he stood up and was about to go out for a walk when he heard a voice outside: "Li Chu, here I come again!"
"Um?"
This sound... isn't right?
This is clearly Wang Longqi's voice.
Li Chu did not go out to greet him immediately, but closed his eyes and concentrated, returning to that perspective.
This time he looked at it for two seconds and confirmed...
The male lead is indeed not Wang Longqi...
Oh no.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Wang Longqi push the door open and walk in: "I said you must be up, come on, I have something to ask you."
"..." Li Chu looked at Wang Longqi's sunny face, hesitant to speak, and asked first: "What's the matter?"
Wang Longqi smiled and said, "After seeing you yesterday, I felt... Hui Niang is a rare good girl. I immediately decided that I want to marry her!"
"Hmm..." Li Chu hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "How about...think about it again."
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Wang Longqi asked in surprise, "I thought you didn't care about other people's affairs."
"Hmm..." Li Chu hesitated again, not knowing how to start the conversation, and said, "After all, getting married is a major event in life, and you still need to discuss it with your family... Your family won't agree to you marrying her, right?"
"Hey, you're really smart!" Wang Longqi slapped his thigh, "I just thought it would be hard to convince my family, but my parents really want a grandson! If I have a child, I think my parents will agree."
At this point, he became shy again, "But this is not something that can be done overnight, and it consumes a lot of energy... I heard from the old Taoist priest yesterday that you have a little sun with infinite power. I came here just to ask you to shine it on me..."
"Hmm..." Li Chu pondered for a while, and then said: "That's no problem... I guess you didn't have breakfast either. You treated me yesterday, so I'll treat you today."
He did what he said, and he got up and went to the kitchen himself to cook a sumptuous meal. When the dishes were served, Wang Longqi took a look.
Stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried spinach, stir-fried chrysanthemum, stir-fried chicken greens, stir-fried lettuce...
"Wow—" he exclaimed, "Is the food in your Taoist temple so healthy now?"
“Not everyone eats these…”
Li Chu replied in a low voice.
After eating for a while, he raised his eyes and said, "I have something I don't know how to say. I have a friend..."
"I know he may have been... well, cruelly betrayed without knowing it."
"It's just that he was cheated on." Wang Longqi grinned: "He wasn't here, why are you being so tactful, then what?"
"Then... of course I have to tell him." Li Chu scratched his head: "But this kind of thing is... hard to talk about. How do you think I should let him know?"
"That's easy." Wang Longqi said with a smile, "Just put some green things in front of him, and he will naturally get suspicious. Which friend of yours is so unlucky? I don't know him..."
Talking and talking.
He looked at the table full of food.
Suddenly, the smile gradually disappeared...
