Sky Castle Master Husband 10
Hearing the sound of the lock opening, Chu Li immediately calmed down. She raised her hand and opened the door.
In an instant, a group of men and women leaning against the door rushed into the house, and even Shu'er was no exception.
She stood in the center, and it was obvious that she was the leader of this farce.
Chu Li scratched his head uncomfortably after seeing this group of people being caught by him, then smiled awkwardly at himself. The anger that had subsided last night instantly surged up in his heart again.
She folded her arms across her chest, found an ideal position, and said calmly, "It seems that the people in this palace are just like the city lord, doing nothing all day long, and their peculiar habit is eavesdropping."
“You are…”
The woman closest to Shu'er looked angry and pointed at Chu Li, about to scold him.
Chu Li raised her head. Now that her identity had been exposed, she no longer pretended and was particularly proud. Although the plan had not been truly carried out, she was now full of confidence, blindly confident that she could definitely get out of here with You Chengze and her pet.
As she thought about it, she saw Shu'er had already stopped the woman who was about to come forward. Then, with a calm expression, the man raised his hand and waved it in the air.
Her men were very tactful and retreated immediately.
However, some people who had a very good relationship with her and were not afraid of Chu Li would raise their eyes and glare at Chu Li fiercely, as if Chu Li would be in trouble if they hurt their city lord in the slightest.
Chu Li naturally did not want to be outdone, and responded with the same look.
After everyone left, a smile appeared on Shu'er's indifferent face.
This smile was extremely dazzling, and when it was projected onto Chu Li, she felt a chill in her heart.
The next moment, Shu'er's slightly expectant voice rang out beside her ear: "Is it done?"
Chu Li was startled when he met Shu'er's smiling face.
? ?
What happened? Just one night later, did this female city lord get kicked in the head by a donkey?
Wait... Shu'er must have misunderstood something.
Chu Li paused for a moment, then reacted. The person next to him first looked at Chu Li, then at You Chengze, who had his back turned on the bed. His pupils were filled with shock, and he exclaimed, "Little girl, you were so nervous about your man last night that you couldn't wait to be with him. But you were as still as a dog the whole night, and you still couldn't win You Chengze over?"
What am I, a man? What's so nervous? What's so good?!
She and You Cheng have a normal and healthy relationship!
Chu Li's eyelids twitched, and he raised his hand and frowned. He felt anger boiling in his chest, and no matter how he roared, he couldn't reduce the anger in his heart.
The next moment, the woman in front of him let out a light sigh.
She raised her hand and patted Chu Li's shoulder, a trace of regret showing on her pretty face: "It seems that you are not doing well, little friend. It's already so late, and Chengze hasn't woken up yet. Sigh, I should have been allowed to enjoy myself last night..."
Is this even right? Is this still a children's channel? She's a modern-day high-speed surfer, after all. Why is she always surprised by the indiscretion of her words when talking to this famous female city lord?!
"I'm telling you, you say such obscene and shameless things in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of retribution in the future?" Chu Li complained speechlessly.
Hearing this, Shu'er covered her mouth and burst into laughter like a silver bell. "What am I afraid of? These people have long been taken into the palace and serve me alone. I have provided them with wealth and honor, and their daily food, clothing, and other necessities are not reduced. How dare they retaliate against me?"
"You're simply stubborn and reckless. You're selfishly exploiting the people, even under the pretext of doing good for them. You're simply foolish and incompetent!" Chu Li was furious. Thinking back to the group of beggars at the foot of the city, he didn't know where he got the confidence from, but he shouted, "I think you should stop indulging in male pleasures and focus more on building Sky City. There are so many residents living in the city without a stable place to live, and you're still trying to choose a male concubine."
After Chu Li finished complaining, he looked in You Chengze's direction, then stretched out his hand, spread out his palm, and said directly: "Now that you know who I am and what my relationship with You Chengze is, you should give me a seal quickly. I have to take You Chengze to continue participating in the competition. I don't want to waste time with you here!"
Just as she finished her angry words, before Shu'er could respond, You Chengze coughed again.
Chu Li only felt a gust of wind passing by him. When he looked carefully, he saw Shu'er had already walked quickly to You Chengze's side and supported You Chengze who had already sat up.
So annoying!
Chu Li frowned, his heart aching, but worried about You Chengze's health, he quickly walked to the man's bedside.
After a night of rest and recuperation, his complexion looked much better, and when he looked at Chu Li, his pupils showed a little more vitality.
"Sister Shu'er, Chu Li's words may not be pleasant to hear, so please bear with me."
Chu Li laughed in anger. It was already this late, and he was still calling her so affectionately, and even saying her words were unpleasant. If she had known this man was two-faced, she should have abandoned him.
"But time is really tight right now, and I need Sister Shu'er's seal."
Humph, he still has some conscience and knows to think about the seal.
After saying this, Chu Li's gaze involuntarily fell on Shu'er.
The woman did not answer immediately. Her brows were furrowed, and her delicate face was full of worry. Her phoenix eyes stared straight at You Chengze as he spoke.
Chu Li fell silent, her hands hanging at her sides tightly clasped together, and upon closer inspection, she saw they were trembling slightly. If this continued, she might really have to beat up this couple.
"From what you said, you must follow the kid this time?" Shu'er finally spoke.
"Yes, we must go. Sister Shu'er, please lend us a hand." You Chengze said, his eyes flashing with determination.
Shu'er, who was supporting him, suddenly sighed heavily. She laid him down, touched his forehead soothingly with her large hand, stood up, and looked at Chu Li.
"The seal itself is not an important thing. If you really want it, I'm willing to give it to you." Shu'er took a deep breath and said in a compromising manner.
Hearing this, Chu Li's eyes lit up. In a trance, he felt that this woman was not as bad as he had imagined.
Before she could answer, Shu'er opened her mouth again: "But before I give you the seal, you have to do me a favor."
"...What's the matter?"
Shu'er's red lips curled slightly, and her worries and anxieties vanished. She stepped closer, leaning slightly in front of Chu Li, and slowly spoke, "I don't really have many hobbies, but I have a pot of wine hidden in the back mountain, which I really like. It's just that it was hidden so long ago that I can't remember the exact location. I only know there's a monument there. If you can find this pot of wine within three days and return it to me down the mountain, I will definitely give you the seal and return you to me."
Back Mountain...
Hearing these two words, Chu Li's brows knitted tightly together. The mountain behind was dangerous and filled with ferocious beasts. If she went to look for them, wouldn't that be courting death?
As if she had noticed what Chu Li was thinking, Shu'er moved closer, a smile on her face, and softened her voice: "I know you still have a lot of questions in your mind, but Chengze needs to rest right now, so why don't you help me to talk. When you come back, I will tell you everything and promise you everything."
"Really?" Chu Li couldn't help but ask again after hearing the last sentence.
Shu'er patted her chest and said confidently, "I'm the lord of Sky City. When have I failed to fulfill my promises? Just do me this favor. I'll provide you with whatever you need from now on."
Her words were no longer playful or amusing as before, and Chu Li could truly feel her sincerity.
Thinking about this, she had actually made a careful decision in her heart. This decision was based on the fact that You Chengze really needed to recuperate in order to recover his energy, the seal, and the fact that it could also help the people living in the city escape from suffering.
She took a deep breath and replied, "It's a deal."
Chu Li looked resolute, but she wasn't entirely sure. Although she loved animals, she was helpless against ferocious beasts. If she died here, wouldn't that be fulfilling Shu'er's wish?
After a brief moment of deep thought, she finally decided to bring along a few attack-attribute pets, and specifically instructed the ragdoll cat and lop-eared rabbit to stay with You Chengze.
Not long after she finished her instructions, she set off on her raven.
Chu Li asked the raven to keep a certain distance and slow down its flying speed, while he himself leaned forward to look down.
In the silent back mountain, huge trees reach into the sky, weeds are overgrown, it is deserted and there is almost no trace of human habitation, and the path is almost invisible.
In the dim morning light, crystal clear dewdrops slide through the green leaves and fall on the new leaves. The tips of the leaves tremble and droop their heads.
In the silence, apart from the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze, there was no sign of wild animals coming and going.
This did not make Chu Li relax her vigilance. She continued to lie on the raven and explore downwards.
The spirit pets beside him were extremely excited for some reason and kept trotting back and forth on the raven.
Chu Li took a look and realized that there was really no way to deal with these naughty pets. He shouted a few words and then carefully observed the trees below.
The area of the mountain behind is extremely large, and it is impossible for a raven to fly continuously for three days. Moreover, the vegetation here is either tall trees or wild flowers and weeds, which will cause visual fatigue if you look at it for a long time.
Shu'er said that a stele was erected where she had buried the wine jar. As for the size of the stele, she wouldn't reveal much; it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Chu Li sighed, and seeing that there was no danger below, he let the raven land.
Only when he stepped on the soft ground did Chu Li sigh at how well the green plants here were growing.
Before she could finish appreciating it, she heard a series of rustling sounds beside her ears.
Following the sound, he saw his group of spirit pets running all over the place as if they had discovered a new continent.
Chu Li was startled and hurried forward to stop them: "Don't run around, one by one. This mountain is so big. How can I find you if you disappear?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Samoyed closest to it suddenly shook its tail like a small motor, stuck out its tongue, and kept breathing at Chu Li.
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then saw the Samoyed open its mouth and bite his clothes, looking at its companion.
These fur balls were very clever and their owner was able to control them and they immediately ran away.
Chu Li shouted, and the Samoyed followed suit with a bark.
It pulled Chu Li towards the raven. When she was pushed onto the raven's back again and looked down at the ground, she saw several spirit pets running in all directions. Only then did she realize that although these spirit pets could not speak, they already had a new plan -
Several spirit pets followed Chu Li and Raven's location and split up into two groups to search for wine.
Chu Li has a wide field of vision and can sense the spirit pets, so he can make the first judgment when there is danger.
Although it is very risky, Chu Li has no other ideas in the face of the lush green scenery.
Looking at the group of fur balls running hard to find help for him, Chu Li couldn't help but feel a sour taste in his nose.
They are so brave that they always turn their backs to her without hesitation, helping her escape danger time and time again, but they never consider themselves.
