The clothes are half undressed, and the red skirt is charming.
Bo Chi made a charming gesture on the bed and was thinking about how to seduce Yu Zhao later, when she suddenly found that there were only a few wisps of Yin Energy left in her body. If she didn't replenish it quickly, she would probably turn back into a disembodied ghost in a few minutes!
Bo Chi was so frightened that he didn't even bother to take care of anything else. He jumped out of bed and tried to run out.
She had just run to the door, but before she opened it, Yu Zhao pushed the door open from outside, holding a basin of water in his hand.
Seeing Bo Chi standing behind the door, wearing a dress so thin and transparent that one could see the pattern of his bellyband, Yu Zhao's eyes suddenly darkened. He licked his lips subconsciously, then looked away and said in a low voice, "Why do you have to go to such lengths, Chi Niang? I'm not a lustful person, you——"
Before she could finish her words, Bo Chi lowered his head and tried to escape from under her arm.
Yu Zhao's actions were faster than his thoughts. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He said angrily, "How can you run out casually in this dress? What if someone sees you?!"
Bo Chi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something in his anxious and guilty little head. He turned around and grabbed the nearest grey robe, hurriedly wrapped it around him and said, "I'll borrow your clothes for a while, and I'll return them to you after I wash them."
Seeing her so anxious, Yu Zhao suppressed all the emotions in his heart and frowned, "What's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficult problems?"
The thin-winged chick nodded like pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes."
Yu Zhao's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Then I'll go with you to solve it."
Bo Chi opened his eyes wide: "Ah? No, no, no, it's not a big deal, I just want to go find Jin Xi... to play with Jin Xi!"
Yu Zhao's face gradually darkened, and he pursed his lips without saying a word. After a long while, he finally spoke, saying with jealousy and sourness: "If I didn't stop you, would you wear this red dress and go get close to her?"
Bo Chi hurriedly shook his head and explained: "I was just too anxious, so I didn't pay attention to this."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Yu Zhao kept pressing: "Are you in a hurry to go and play with Jin Xi? Are you in a hurry to see if Jin Xi is awake? Are you in a hurry to get close to Jin Xi?"
Bo Chi opened his mouth, but before he could answer, a voice came from the next door, asking weakly: "Um... I seemed to hear my name, are you talking about me?"
Bo Chi's eyes lit up, he pushed Yu Zhao away and ran towards Jin Xi, his pretty face full of joy, forming a sharp contrast with Yu Zhao who was pushed away.
Looking at Bo Chi who was happily rushing towards him, and then looking at Yu Zhao who was staring at him with cold eyes as if he was staring at a dead person, Jin Xi's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said in horror: "Don't come over here!!"
Of course Bo Chi didn't listen to her. He rushed over and gave her a bear hug. After pulling out a large ball of wool, he withdrew his hand contentedly and greeted her, "Good morning."
Jin Xi trembled in his voice: "Morning, good morning... Good morning! You and Lord Yu are having a quarrel, why are you dragging me into it!"
She was quite devastated. Not only was she forced to find out that the two were having an affair, but why did she have to become the innocent middleman? She obviously just wants to cling to her sisters!
Bo Chi groaned and said in surprise, "What are you quarreling about? Ah Zhao and I are fine."
As she spoke, she turned around and smiled brightly at Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao was silent for a moment, snorted coldly, walked into the room, and closed the door with a bang.
Bo Chi was at a loss: "What happened to her?"
Jin Xi: "...I guess I'm mad at you."
Bo Chi didn't believe that his wife would be so petty. She walked back and prepared to knock on the door. Jin Xi was afraid that she would flirt with him and make nonsense, and he would be blamed later, so he dragged her into his room and said, "We are leaving today. We don't know if there will be a place to rest on the way. You should prepare more dry food and clothes, so that you don't run out of things when you need them."
Bo Chi said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't eat much."
Jin Xi babbled, "You don't eat much, but your demon hunter eats a lot... Also, why are you suddenly with Master Yu? And you're running around wearing Master Yu's clothes. You said before that you were a decent person!"
Bo Chi coughed lightly: "Ahem, this is an accident, kids shouldn't ask too much...By the way, did you see anyone touching my and Yu Zhao's bowls yesterday morning?"
She couldn't understand why such a perfect plan failed, so she could only ask Jin Xi unwillingly to see if he knew something.
Jin Xi's eyes suddenly showed guilt, but she refused to admit that she had changed for a long time just to eat the bowl with more porridge, so she said firmly: "I didn't see it, I don't know anything!"
Bo Chi nodded without any doubt and continued to wonder about this unsolved mystery.
They stayed in the inn for a while and had breakfast before leaving the city, carrying two bamboo baskets and heading towards Kyoto.
Yu Zhao followed them silently.
She originally wanted to say goodbye today, stay away from both of them, and leave alone.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. After reluctantly having sex with Bo Chi, she found that she could no longer restrain herself from stopping and withdrawing in time.
When she thought of the dead bones scattered all over the ground, demons and ghosts running rampant, and wild beasts raging outside the city, she could not help but feel at ease with Bo Chi. Whenever he disappeared from her sight for a while, she could not help but worry.
Her strong worry made her unable to say goodbye, and she finally followed Bo Chi on the journey, having made two plans in her mind - if the evil ghost caught up with her first, she would immediately separate from Bo Chi, and if the evil ghost had not appeared after arriving in Kyoto, she would settle Bo Chi down before leaving.
Yu Zhao was meticulous and thoughtful, but Bo Chi knew nothing about it. Instead, she was thinking about other things - always picking on Jin Xi to fleece the sheep was not only troublesome for him but also not enough. She had to find a few more fat sheep and take advantage of them one by one!
If it were an era of peace and prosperity, Bo Chi might really be able to pick up someone on the street, especially a woman. But they lived in an era where the court was corrupt, demons roamed at night, and people were living in poverty. Ordinary people were in fear just to survive, and gender was irrelevant.
When in the city, Bo Chi not only went shopping and played, but also carefully observed the surrounding environment. He found that many women chose to show up in public and do business. These people had to support their families and would definitely not go with Bo Chi. Therefore, Bo Chi did not wake up and look around until he left the city, searching for the figure of a lone woman with his burning eyes.
Her behavior was too obvious. Not only did Yu Zhao look at her twice more, but even Jin Xi wiped his sweat and walked over to her, wondering, "Chi Niang, what are you looking for?"
Bo Chi said frankly: "Looking for a girl."
Jin Xi: “???”
What you said... is no different from the playboys who visit brothels!
Besides, where did this girl come from in such a remote place? ?
Jin Xi couldn't figure out what Bo Chi was thinking. She only knew that... the gaze behind them was so sharp, the look on their heads was so cold, and the murderous intent seemed to be mixed with jealousy...
In short, it is very dangerous!
Jin Xi shuddered and said quickly: "Chi Niang, don't be ridiculous. Where can a beautiful girl come from in this remote place where there is no village or shop?"
Bo Chi looked at her with a strange expression: "When I see short sleeves, I think of white arms. I said girl, but in your mouth it becomes flower girl."
Jin Xi was confused: "What do you mean? Didn't you say you were looking for a girl?"
Bo Chi said disdainfully: "Old pervert, when I say looking for a girl, I don't mean that kind of girl, I mean - oh, yes, the kind of girl in front of you!"
She glanced at a skinny little woman lying on the path ahead and said excitedly, "Let's go, let's go pick up some fat sheep!"
Jin Xi couldn't understand what she meant more and could only follow her in confusion.
After walking only two steps, Bo Chi was suddenly grabbed by the arm by someone behind her. She turned around in confusion and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Zhao's expression was not very good, and his words were very fierce, but his words were full of care: "This person may be a monster in disguise. If you want to save her, hide behind me and let me investigate first."
Bo Chi shook off the urge to "catch the big fat sheep" and grabbed Yu Zhao's sleeve with his backhand: "How can I let you stand in front of me alone? What if this is really a trap? Wouldn't you be in danger?"
Yu Zhao snorted and deliberately said, "Then just bypass her? Ignore her?"
Bo Chi shook his head decisively: "No, no, we still have to save the people."
After talking for a long time, Yu Zhao finally showed an impatient look, pointed at the idle Jin Xi, and said with finality: "Then she and I will explore the way ahead, and you follow behind, and don't run around."
Jin Xi, the spectator: “???”
No, how come a pot falls from the sky while you are sitting at home?
She is just a weak woman who is powerless, but she also wants to be properly cared for by someone with a harsh tone!
Jin Xi stared at Yu Zhao eagerly, hoping that she would change her mind.
However, Yu Zhao didn't even look at her. He pressed Bo Chi's head and gave him a few cold instructions, then strode towards the woman on the path.
Jin Xi had a sad face and could only follow miserably.
After arriving next to the woman, Yu Zhao took out the soul-seeking compass from his arms, tapped the four directions with his fingertips, and the compass needle suddenly turned.
Bo Chi took a few peeks and found that the needle was always slightly stagnant at his position. He hurriedly took some Yin Qi from Jin Xi and wrapped his soul tightly.
The needle on the compass turned several times and finally returned to the starting point, indicating that there were no monsters or ghosts within a few miles. Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and Bo Chi also breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Zhao remained expressionless. After putting away the compass, he drew out the peach wood sword and suddenly attacked the woman.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce the woman's forehead, the woman remained motionless like a corpse. Yu Zhao finally stopped the sword steadily at the critical moment, put the sword back into the sheath and said: "It's an ordinary refugee."
Bo Chi and Jin Xi felt relieved and quickly half-dragged and half-carried the woman to the tree and fed her some water and dry food.
After a while, the woman woke up in a trance, and almost greedily chased after the food and ate it for a while. Then she caught her breath and looked at Jin Xi in front of her and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."
Jin Xi grinned, his voice was bold and heroic, like a strong man: "You're welcome!"
woman:"……"
Seeing the woman's expression of 'Am I still not awake', Bo Chi held back his laughter and asked, "What's your name? Why are you lying alone in this wilderness?"
The woman looked at Bo Chi and Yu Zhao, her eyes suddenly filled with astonishment, and then she said timidly, "My name is Liu Qing'er. I was going to Kyoto with the master to seek refuge. On the way, I couldn't stand the bumps in the carriage and vomited several times. I was too precious to use water and didn't want to burn incense and bathe. So the master got disgusted with Qing'er and kicked her off the carriage."
She smiled bitterly and said softly, "I had no food or water, and I barely made it here before I collapsed on the road, unable to move forward. If it weren't for the ladies... the benefactors who saved me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it through this."
——After all, she didn't understand Jin Xi's gender, so she changed the word "girl" to "benefactor".
Bo Chi and Jin Xi didn't pay attention, they just felt sorry for her experience, and at the same time couldn't help complaining about her master: "You save money and save water, but he hates your body odor. I think even if your master goes to Kyoto, he will lose all his family wealth sooner or later."
Jin Xi nodded in agreement: "Although it cannot be seen in the city, those villages have suffered from the destruction of demons and ghosts, and they are extremely precious about food and water. Since you are refugees, even if you were once royal relatives, you must take care of your lives first."
Liu Qing'er smiled bitterly and sighed, "The reason why the master is tired of me may be because he has taken in a new eighteenth concubine and has lost interest in me, so he found an excuse to drive me away."
Jin Xi: "...Room 10 or 18?"
Bo Chi clicked his tongue and raised his hand to pat Liu Qing'er's shoulder: "Don't panic, your master doesn't want you, we will take you in."
Liu Qing'er's eyes lit up, and she raised her head in ecstasy. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jin Xi and Yu Zhao frowning, and she stopped talking in time, saying softly: "Thank you, young lady, but Qing'er is useless, and it would be a burden to follow the benefactors... The benefactors have this heart, Qing'er is already grateful, and dare not ask for anything else."
Jin Xi also tugged at the corner of Bo Chi's clothes at this time and whispered, "Mother Chi, calm down. We only have so much dry food. Bringing one more person will bring more pressure."
Bo Chi smiled mysteriously, put down the bamboo basket he had been carrying, opened the curtain and said, "Look, what is this!"
Jin Xi looked over and was shocked: "Why did you bring so much dry food and water? It's so full... Aren't you tired?"
She was so surprised that she raised her hand to touch Bo Chi's forehead and found that his skin was slightly cool and he was not sweating at all. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "As expected of a person with icy skin and jade bones, he is actually so powerful..."
Bo Chi chuckled.
She had originally planned to pick up more girls along the way, and in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, she brought a lot of food with her.
"Well, we can let her catch up now." Bo Chi patted the bamboo basket generously: "She is skinny and small anyway, so I guess she can't eat much."
Hearing this, Liu Qing'er, who had vaguely seen the dawn, nodded hurriedly and carefully fought for an opportunity for herself: "I only need to eat a few mouthfuls of food, and I don't need to take a bath. If you dislike it, I can hide far away. If you don't mind, I can also walk in front to scout the way for you. If you see demons, Qing'er will definitely use her life to hold them back and give you enough time to escape!"
She spoke so sincerely that even Yu Zhao was moved, not to mention Bo Chi and Jin Xi, who immediately agreed, holding her hand.
The four of them walked together, but their way of getting along was no different from before - the three of them were chattering in the front, while Yu Zhao was alone at the back, silently staring at Bo Chi.
Bo Chi stood between Jin Xi and Liu Qing'er, as if he was enjoying the best of both worlds. He absorbed a little Yin energy from the left and a little Yin energy from the right, feeling so happy.
Unfortunately, considering Liu Qing'er's fragility and the fact that her voice was already rough, if there was another one, it would be too eye-catching. Therefore, Bo Chi did not dare to be too presumptuous and only dared to draw a few wisps of Yin Qi as a dessert.
When it was getting dark, Bo Chi and the others arrived at a village.
The village was deserted, but there were signs of recent activity and fire in the house.
Jin Xi took a look and sighed, "It seems that this is an uninhabited village."
Bo Chi tilted his head: "No Man's Land Village? Is it famous?"
Jin Xi and Liu Qing'er nodded at the same time: "The original name of the No Man's Village is unknown. We only know that there were many villagers living here, but when the court was in chaos and demons emerged, they disappeared overnight and the village became a dead village. Since then, everyone has called it the No Man's Village out of fear."
Bo Chi blinked: "If there is no one, then where did these traces of fire come from?"
Liu Qing'er smiled helplessly and said, "Of course it's poor people like us who have no choice but to borrow this place and spend the whole night here."
Bo Chi hummed, his tone becoming subtle: "Then... is there no one living here for a long time?"
Jin Xi and Liu Qing'er looked at each other and said, "That shouldn't be the case. The disappearances of people here are too horrifying. Everyone is afraid of disappearing here without knowing why, so they dare not live here for a long time."
Bo Chi raised his eyebrows and walked into the village. When passing by the low wall at the entrance of the village, he grabbed the child behind the wall and asked Jin Xi and the others in confusion: "What's the situation with this child? Her clothes are too big for her. I guess she was dug out from some house. Although the footprints on the ground are messy, most of them are her small footprints. She is smart to hide in such a secluded place and observe secretly. I think she is very familiar with this village."
Jin Xi and the others were startled, but after hearing her words, they asked in confusion: "Yes, she was hiding in such a secluded place, how did you see her?"
The struggling child paused and pricked up his ears, obviously confused.
Bo Chi curled his lips and said, "It's very simple, because she is a girl."
Women are yin and Bo Chi is a ghost, so they are extremely sensitive to yin energy. Not to mention that the child is hiding behind the wall, even if she is hiding in the soil, Bo Chi can sense her presence.
Jin Xi and the others were confused and came over to look at the child: "The clothes are indeed too big. Judging from the fabric, they look like they are worn by the male owner of the house."
"It has been twenty years since the incident in the deserted village. This child definitely cannot be from the village. I guess she sneaked in here. She is young and doesn't know anything, so she chose this place as her home."
"What's your name, kid? Can you speak?"
"Oh, why does she bite people when she doesn't agree with something?"
The little girl was extremely wild and had a strong desire to attack. When Bo Chi lifted her up, she couldn't bite Bo Chi, so she started showing her teeth to Jin Xi and Liu Qing'er.
After nearly biting Liu Qing'er, the two of them immediately moved away with lingering fear, not daring to get close to provoke her. They only asked Bo Chi: "Mother Chi, what are you going to do with this child?"
Bo Chi said without hesitation: "Of course I'll take her with me."
Even though they are young, they are still snacks. Maybe at the critical moment, they may need these snacks to survive!
Bo Chi’s food reserves are scarce now, and what he is thinking is - I want them all!
It wasn't until Jin Xi poked her waist that she turned back in confusion: "What?"
Jin Xi coughed twice, then he and Liu Qing'er moved aside, revealing Yu Zhao behind them.
Yu Zhao had a blank expression on his face, holding a sword in his arms and carrying a bamboo basket on his back, which was full of small things with thin wings. After meeting Bo Chi's gaze, she curled the corners of her lips and said sarcastically, "Why are you looking at me? I want to see how many women Miss Bo Chi wants to take in."
Bo Chi looked at her, then at the fierce child in his hand, and then said decisively: "This is not for me, this is for you. Look at her face where you can't see her features clearly, and her wild and wolfish personality that wants to bite people. How is she not like you? This is your disciple sent from heaven!"
Yu Zhao frowned, looked at the stunned child coldly, and said coldly: "I don't accept disciples."
"Then I'll be your maid." Bo Chi made up an excuse and insisted, "Anyway, I want to accept her and give her to you as a gift."
She took food out of the bamboo basket and handed it to the little girl's lips.
The little girl's hostile face froze for a moment, and after hesitating for less than two seconds, she held the food and started to eat it in big mouthfuls. Seeing that she almost choked, Bo Chi fed her some water.
After completing a series of actions, the little girl had completely retracted her sharp teeth and claws, and followed Bo Chi around in a rather dependent manner, looking quite cute.
Jin Xi felt itchy and wanted to touch the little girl's head. After being scratched, he finally returned to Liu Qing'er in dismay and said in his heart, "It's still the leader, but it's a wolf that recognizes its master."
Liu Qing'er wiped her face and chuckled, "Children are simple-minded. Over time, she will naturally know that you are a good person."
Jin Xi sighed: "Maybe."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yu Zhao and muttered, "I'm just wondering how Master Yu will deal with that little girl."
Liu Qing'er didn't know the relationship between Bo Chi and Yu Zhao. She didn't even know why Jin Xi called Yu Zhao "Master". She just followed Feng and asked in surprise, "Why did Master Yu target a little girl? I saw her following behind me. She looked steady and didn't seem like a sarcastic person."
Jin Xi turned his head back and forth, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, and whispered into Liu Qing'er's ear: "Master Yu and Chi Niang... are husband and wife!"
Liu Qing'er exclaimed, then looked at Bo Chi and Yu Zhao, her eyes suddenly changed.
Bo Chi was unaware and continued teasing the little girl: "Duck Head, what's your name?"
The little girl shook her head: "I don't know, they all call me a bastard."
Bo Chi frowned, rubbed her head, and comforted her: "Don't listen to those gossipy people. It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Sister will give you one. How about it?"
The little girl raised her head, and Bo Chi was reflected in her black eyes. She nodded seriously.
Bo Chi thought about it, then suddenly came up with an idea: "Let's call you Huaci!"
Jin Xi, who was standing by, asked reflexively, "Peony flower cake?"
Liu Qing'er followed with a laugh: "Touhuaci?"
The little girl looked confused: "What is Huaci?"
"It's a snack." Bo Chi rubbed her face and said sincerely: "You are my most delicious snack."
At such a young age, yet with such a strong and pure yin energy, isn't it the most delicious snack?
It's a pity that Yu Zhao is unwilling to accept a disciple, otherwise, with Hua Ci's ability, becoming a leader among demon hunters wouldn't be a piece of cake, right?
Bo Chi was still feeling regretful, but Yu Zhao's face was already gloomy. He pushed Jin Xi and Liu Qing'er away, grabbed Bo Chi's hand, and said coldly, "Have you had enough fun?"
Bo Chi was confused: "W-what?"
Yu Zhao took a deep breath and dragged her deeper into the forest.
Huaci growled and tried to chase after him, but Yu Zhao, without even turning his head, stuck a talisman on his face, freezing him in place, unable to move.
Yu Zhao took Bo Chi to a deserted place, suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "What did you mean by that sentence just now? That girl is so young, and you can still like her?!"
Bo Chi came to his senses, fluttered his eyelashes and asked in surprise: "Are you jealous?"
Yu Zhao's anger was suppressed by these words, and he turned his face away and said in embarrassment: "No!"
Bo Chi didn't believe it, and pounced on her, holding her face with his hands, and said excitedly: "Are you not jealous? Why are you talking so sour? Don't turn your head, let me see if you like me!"
Yu Zhao endured it again and again, then he used the same old trick, took out the talisman, and slapped her on the head.
Bo Chi was unable to move and could only listen to her snort coldly: "I just can't stand you abusing young people. If I find out that you are too close to her... I will drive her away!"
Bo Chi: “…”
No, wait, she was the one who did the bad thing, why are you chasing the girl away?
Bo Chi was amused by Yu Zhao's boundless partiality, and at the same time discovered the code to wealth - it turned out that recruiting people on the road was not only to collect food reserves, but also to stimulate this calm and restrained demon hunter.
If she really plays a role of changing her heart, will Yu Zhao break through his psychological defenses and concerns and resolutely confess to her?
Yes, it's worth a try.
Bo Chi secretly perked up. After the talisman was taken away from him, he didn't make any noise. After looking at Yu Zhao, he went to find Jin Xi.
Yu Zhao was still waiting for her to be angry with him, but seeing that she didn't even want to pay attention to him, he couldn't help feeling depressed and sulking.
Bo Chi pulled Jin Xi aside and secretly asked her to cooperate with him in acting.
Jin Xi reacted greatly and shook his head, saying with a look of fear: "Chi Niang, please don't hurt me, I still want to go to Bailu Academy safely!"
Bo Chi clicked his tongue: "How does this count as harming you? I already said it was just acting, not real."
Jin Xi still refused frantically: "No, no, you find someone else to cooperate with you. Anyway, I will never get involved in your affairs!"
Bo Chi was helpless and turned to look at Liu Qing'er.
Liu Qing'er's body trembled, her eyes were filled with fear, but she still had a heroic expression on her face, and said resolutely: "Qing'er's life was saved by you, benefactor. Even if you want Qing'er to die, Qing'er is willing!"
Bo Chi was speechless and choked: "But I really don't want you to die, please don't show such a fearless expression, it really ruins the show..."
The two people who could help were unable to help, so Bo Chi could only regretfully suppress the idea of causing trouble, stay in the deserted village for one night, and continue to set off for Kyoto the next day.
The world is extremely chaotic nowadays, and even the escort companies are extremely cautious. They will not allow outsiders to follow them except acquaintances. Those seeking refuge have no choice but to walk towards the big city. Among the 36 cities of Qian Kingdom, the safest must be the capital, so those who have some perseverance and ability will all head towards Kyoto.
Bo Chi and the others walked along the way, and later met many men and women. Men were not on Bo Chi's menu, so she confiscated any of them. Most of the women were with their relatives, and there were very few who were alone like Hua Ci and Liu Qing'er. Naturally, Bo Chi would not force them to follow her.
After walking for more than half a month, they finally saw a city.
This city was more prosperous than before, and there were many refugee beggars. The guarding soldiers were not surprised by their dirty appearance and let them in after asking a few questions.
After finding an inn, Bo Chi counted their number and was about to ask for four rooms, but Jin Xi waved his hand and said, "Hua Ci is small and doesn't take up much space. Sister Qing'er and I can squeeze in with her. Mother Chi, you, uh, just bear with it and stay in the same room with Lord Yu."
Bo Chi tilted his head to look at Yu Zhao: "Do you want to live with me?"
Yu Zhao's expression had been gloomy for a while, but he softened after hearing this. When he was about to speak, Hua Ci spoke first, hugged Bo Chi's slender waist, and insisted: "I want to sleep in the same room with Chi Niang."
Jin Xi watched Yu Zhao's face turn cold again, and hurriedly pulled Hua Ci and said, "Why call me Chi Niang? You should call me sister!"
Huaci remained silent and held on to Bochi stubbornly.
Bo Chi touched her head and said, "Stop hugging me. My waist is going to become thinner because of you."
Huaci then reluctantly let go, staring at Bochi with his dark eyes, and repeated, "I want to live with Chi Niang."
Bo Chi did not answer, but continued to stare at Yu Zhao: "You haven't answered my question yet, do you want to live with me?"
Yu Zhao glanced at Hua Ci indifferently, then looked at Bo Chi and said lightly, "Your clothes are all in the bamboo basket on my back. If you don't live with me, who else do you want to live with?"
Bo Chi blinked, groaned in astonishment, shook his head and muttered, "A simple promise has been twisted into many twists and turns. With your personality, I'm afraid you'll never find a wife in your lifetime."
Yu Zhao: “Huh.”
Bo Chi asked the shopkeeper for three rooms. As for Hua Ci's impatience and protest, she didn't take it to heart. She just thought that the child was just having a fledgling complex, which would naturally disappear after a few days.
After separating from the three people, Bo Chi was the first to ask for a bucket of water, intending to take a good bath.
Yu Zhao's eyes fell on her and he said casually, "Half a month has passed, and you don't seem to have any dirt on you."
Bo Chi shuddered, fearing that his secret would be discovered, and hurriedly said, "Who said it's not there? It's just covered by the clothes, so you can't see it."
Yu Zhao raised his eyebrows, stared at her slender figure as she spoke, and said thoughtfully: "I don't believe it."
Bo Chi was terrified, afraid that she had already started to suspect him, so he mustered up his courage and pretended to be generous: "Then, then I'll take it off for you to see!"
She unbuttoned her collar in front of Yu Zhao, then hesitantly took off her belt. Just as she was about to take off her dress with her eyes closed, there was a knock on the door and the waiter called out, "Sir, the hot water you ordered is here!"
Bo Chi was startled. Before she could react, she saw Yu Zhao, who had a deep look in his eyes just now, suddenly approached her, grabbed a robe beside him and covered her tightly, then pushed her into the inner room and said, "Come in."
The waiters came in carrying the bathtub, put it behind the screen and left.
Yu Zhao closed the door tightly, turned around and saw Bo Chi poking his head out, paused and said: "Go take a shower."
Bo Chi was surprised: "Aren't you going to watch it?"
Helplessness flashed across Yu Zhao's eyes: "I believe you, I won't watch it anymore."
With thin wings, he relaxed and happily went behind the screen to take a bath.
After a while, the room was filled with heat and the sound of water was fascinating.
Yu Zhao stared at the book in his hand for a long time, but found that he could not concentrate on reading it no matter what. He could only put the book down, pick up the peach wood sword, and wipe the sword again and again to concentrate his mind and stabilize his Taoism.
The soul-hunting compass was placed on the table, but she didn't pay much attention to it. However, when she glanced at it, she unexpectedly discovered that the needle on the compass seemed to have tracked down something and was pointing behind the screen little by little.
Yu Zhao's mind trembled, he stood up suddenly with his long sword in hand, opened the screen and said in a deep voice: "Thin wings!"
She thought there was a ghost behind the screen and Bo Chi would be injured, but when she heard a cry, she saw Bo Chi sitting in the bathtub, holding a lotus lantern in his hand, staring at her... and the sword in her hand.
Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment, his mind still not thinking straight, he subconsciously asked: "Where is the lotus lantern?"
Bo Chi stammered, "I bought it before and have been keeping it in the bamboo basket on your back... Why are you shouting at me with a sword in your hand? Do you want to kill me?"
As she spoke, she became a little scared and shrank into the water, leaving only half of her face exposed.
Yu Zhao put the sword behind him and shook his head, saying, "My sword only kills demons, not you. Just now I saw the compass pointing to the screen, and I thought an evil ghost had appeared, so I acted in a hurry. If I accidentally scared you, I apologize."
Bo Chi laughed dryly twice and said nothing.
She was not only frightened just now, she almost felt her soul leaving her body and she could not maintain her human body.
Seeing Yu Zhao holding a sword with murderous intent and shouting her name murderously, she really thought she was dead.
Fortunately... Fortunately, Yu Zhao did not suspect her.
Bo Chi secretly felt lucky and didn't dare to take another hot bath, for fear that his negative energy would dissipate faster.
She gathered her dress and walked out from behind the screen. As she passed by the window, she glimpsed it out of the corner of her eye and suddenly said in surprise, "Yu Zhao! Look downstairs, there's actually a girl selling herself to bury her father!"
She was pleasantly surprised and called out to Yu Zhao for a long time, but found no response. She turned back in confusion and met Yu Zhao's narrowed eyes.
Yu Zhao turned unhappy again and said coldly: "Why, are you moved by this?"
I'm really moved.
But Bo Chi didn't dare to admit it in front of Yu Zhao, and could only calmly say: "No, no, it just looks new. If you don't like it, I'll just close the window."
She kept her word and closed the windows.
Yu Zhao relaxed his brows, being easily coaxed into submission. He stood up and said, "I'll go get the waiter to bring some new hot water."
Bo Chi quickly grabbed her and said, "Let me go. I just finished taking a shower and I'm feeling bored. It's a good time to take a walk to relax. By the way, why did your compass point to the back of the screen just now? Have you found out the reason?"
When she mentioned this, Yu Zhao frowned, put his focus on the compass, and shook his head, saying, "I don't know why it didn't work."
Bo Chi said obediently: "Then you should study it carefully. This is a matter concerning our lives, so we must not take it lightly. Don't worry about the hot water, I will go and talk to you."
Yu Zhao could only nod and said softly, "Thank you."
Bo Chi showed a sweet and soft smile, but her expression changed after she went out of the door. She immediately picked up her skirt in a hurry and ran straight to the girl who was selling herself to bury her father on the street.
The author has something to say: Yu Zhao (sneer): The mouth of a bad woman is full of lies.
