"Because you're here."
"And that's enough."
As the last syllable fell, Huang Ya's face showed a look of relief, then she closed her eyes and fainted.
Bo Chi was startled and went forward to check her body. He found that she was just exhausted and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The zombies were still approaching, and Yu Zhao was not far away, using his sixth-level supernatural power to summon ferocious lightning to strike down.
Lightning raged on the ground, accurately avoiding the location of the thin wings, like a python with venomous fangs, reaping what it wanted in the electric net.
The thunder and lightning continued to strike for several hours, and even with Yu Zhao's strength, it was a bit too much to bear.
After all the zombies fell, she let out a long breath, retracted her supernatural power, blew away the level 5 crystal core powder in her hand, and came to Bo Chi: "Are you okay?"
Bo Chi shook his head: "It's okay, she just fainted from exhaustion."
Yu Zhao glanced at Huang Ya: "I didn't ask her, I asked if you were hurt."
Bo Chi: "I'm not injured... I just stood for a long time and my legs are a little numb."
Yu Zhao chuckled and raised his hand to hold her waist.
Bo Chi understood her intention instantly, and held her hand, saying, "No need to hold me. Compared to me, you who have been using supernatural powers all the time are obviously more tired. Wait here for a while, I'll ask Duan Ting and the others to drive over and pick us up."
"We are here!!"
Duan Ting's voice sounded from not far away at the right time, and she said loudly: "The minefield was too scary just now, we didn't dare to come over!"
Bo Chi smiled and waved to them.
Several people ran over happily and helped bring Huang Ya to the car.
The "plot killing" was successfully completed, and the end of the world also came.
Huang Ya did not become the top boss in the base as in the plot. After waking up, she rested for a while and then returned to Bo Chi's team.
Her status in the team was neither high nor low, and her personality gradually softened. She no longer rejected everyone's approach and opened her closed heart.
Everyone can see that she is getting better, but this kind of "personality" obviously doesn't create any sparks with the attribute of "doomsday".
[So the third bloody rain will not fall again.] 】In response to Bo Chi's inquiry, the system said truthfully: [Without the enhancement of the blood rain, the zombies will lose the opportunity to continue to improve their strength, and the only king of the zombies has been killed by you in advance, so the future of this world is very clear - the end of the world is about to end, and a new era is just around the corner. 】
The facts turned out to be as expected. In the next few years, humans almost overwhelmingly slaughtered zombies and recovered the occupied territories and houses bit by bit.
The zombies are extinct, the buildings are rebuilt, and when each household turns on the lights again and lives in their own homes, everything seems to be the same, and yet everything seems to have changed.
The most obvious and important change is that humans have entered the era of superpowers.
**
Seventy-eight years after the end of the world.
Several students entered the park carrying their bags.
They had just finished school and didn't want to go home to do their homework, so they all came here to play.
There were not many people in the park. Apart from students like them, there were only two young and beautiful sisters sitting on the benches.
The shorter sister held a cup of milk tea in her hand and watched them playing with a smile. The taller sister stretched out her hand and plucked the maple leaf from the other sister's black hair.
It was autumn, and students had just finished their monthly exams.
They chattered and discussed, "What did you choose for the third question? Was it the thin-winged boss who wiped out the zombies in City A?"
"That's definitely not the case. The one in question 6, 'Who donated the first seed of fast-growing fruits and vegetables?', is the one who was asked by Mr. Thin Wings!"
"Hehehe, I told you not to pay attention in class. You even got such a simple question wrong."
"Don't be discouraged, I will teach you a universal test formula!"
"I know, I know, are you talking about that——"
"For food culture, choose Bo Chi. For fighting and killing, choose Yu Zhao. Don't panic when you encounter logistics. Apart from these two, choose all of them!"
Listening to the laughter here, Bo Chi, who was sitting on the bench, chuckled: "Wow, they even have the exam formula?"
Yu Zhao narrowed his eyes: "It seems that I should withdraw from the front line and try to transfer to logistics."
Bo Chi: "...be a human being."
Yu Zhao smiled and turned to look at her: "I'm serious. The existence of zombies is no longer a concern. I don't want to run away anymore. I just want to spend time with you."
Bo Chi tilted his head: "What are you going to do with me? Apart from going out with you, I am left to stay in the base."
Yu Zhao approached her and coaxed her, "The life of a superpower is very long. How boring it would be to stay in one place for a long time? Why don't we elope and go to other countries to have some fun?"
Bo Chi hesitated: "But the seeds that the government asked me to plant two days ago are almost ripe. If I leave now..."
Yu Zhao: "They ask you to plant the crops every day, but after you plant them, you still can't figure out the research. Even if you give them to them a few months later, it probably won't be a big problem."
Bo Chi was convinced, and said with a smile: "You are right, then let's sneak away!"
They held hands and ran away from home happily.
In the official office, the superiors were furious: "How could he disappear? Apart from anything else, hasn't Yu Zhao been protecting Bo Chi? With her around, how could Bo Chi disappear?!"
The person who reported it looked embarrassed: "Uh... Miss Bo Chi was abducted by Miss Yu Zhao."
The superior: “?”
The person who reported it: "They are also planning to spend their honeymoon outside."
The superior: “???”
The person who reported: "Ms. Huang Ya is very angry now. She said she would go to find them in person. What do you think..."
"I don't want to watch." The superior wiped his face and said helplessly: "Make sure to keep an eye on Huang Ya and the others. The two most important ones have already been fired, and we can't let the rest of them follow suit and make trouble."
After saying this, the superior suddenly realized something keenly.
He pondered the relationship between Yu Zhao, Bo Chi, Huang Ya and others, then he hissed and muttered to himself, "Could it be that she calculated that I would never let anyone else go, so she deliberately took Bo Chi and ran away without saying hello?"
No way. No way.
A ninth-level supernatural being, the best master in the entire human race, wouldn't he really be jealous in a relationship and secretly plan such a little trick, right?
No one knows the answer.
Because the person concerned is already contentedly traveling around the world with his wife.
**
In the void.
The system calculated the accounts and finally said: [Congratulations, you and Yu Zhao have scored 550 points respectively. Your employee level has been upgraded to advanced. The next world will be the world of cultivation. 】
Bo Chi was stunned, thinking of the powerful 'Golden Core Yuanying' it had mentioned before, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous: [Is this world very dangerous? 】
The system nodded: [Yes, so you must be careful. If you offend any big boss, these few points will not be enough for you to revive. But you don't have to be afraid. Although this world is a small world that senior employees must enter, the more dangerous it is, the greater the reward. After completing this task, you can probably accumulate the remaining 450 points and return to reality with your partner. 】
Thin Wings: [……]
It's over, even more desperate.
System: [Is there anything else? If not, I’ll send you away.] 】
Bo Chi nodded dejectedly.
The familiar feeling of dizziness quickly came over him, and as time passed, Bo Chi gradually realized that something was wrong.
Why can't she open her eyes?
Why can't she move?
Why... there was a breath on her face?
"Master..." A low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded beside her ears, with a sense of helplessness and struggle: "Disciple, disciple is in great pain."
She spoke incoherently, but her master ignored her.
This is as it should be, because at this moment, the other party should concentrate his mind and put all his attention on retreat and breakthrough.
Yu Zhao's thoughts were a little muddled. She had been practicing in her own house, but for some reason, she felt hot all over, as if something inside her body wanted to break out of the ground, causing her so much pain that she just wanted to vent.
After finally entering the Immortal Gate, she did not dare to be too presumptuous. She relied on her willpower to suppress her violent impulses and stumbled to her master's side.
Her master was a famous swordsman with extraordinary talent. After only a hundred years of practice, he had already become the master of a peak in the Xingxiu Sect.
Yu Zhao had just become her disciple today, and before he had even heard a few words from her, he learned that she was going to go into seclusion to achieve a breakthrough in the Golden Elixir stage.
What is the golden elixir?
Is it amazing?
Yu Zhao didn’t know, she could only work hard to study the immortal techniques contained in the jade slips left by her master. In the second half of the night, she finally attracted the spiritual energy after countless attempts. However, once the spiritual energy entered her body, it was like hot oil with water added, boiling so much that her eyes turned red, and she could hardly suppress the evil thoughts that came from nowhere.
Yu Zhao panicked and didn't bother to respect his master's words "don't disturb". He stumbled to seek his master's help.
She first kowtowed and called out outside, but her master ignored her.
Yu Zhao had no choice but to go on.
When she was halfway there, she seemed to have passed through some barrier. She looked back, and when she saw nothing unusual, she continued walking forward.
When she reached the end of the cave, her eyes suddenly lit up and she saw her swordsman master.
The master was sitting on a cushion, with her black hair as smooth as satin, her skin as fair as snow, her face beautiful and charming, and the red dot under her eye was gorgeous and gorgeous.
Yu Zhao didn't dare to look any further. He knelt in front of his master and told him his symptoms one by one.
After she finished speaking, the cave was silent. The master still had his eyes closed and did not respond at all.
Yu Zhao was confused and puzzled, but the magic power in her body surged again at this time, forcing her to forget the hierarchy. She stumbled directly to her master, raised her hand and grabbed her master's snow-white robe, and whispered painfully: "Master... Your disciple is in great pain."
She frowned, as if looking for a life-saving straw. After grabbing it a few times, she unexpectedly touched her master's hand, and immediately she couldn't wait to hold it tightly.
"Master..." Yu Zhao unknowingly pushed down the cross-legged master and whispered something in his ear. He was like a beautiful snake, gradually binding his prey.
The master whose wrist she held still had his eyes downcast, his face calm, and his breathing normal.
Seeing her unconscious appearance, Yu Zhao's heart suddenly heated up, and endless evil thoughts leaked out of his mind. His weak consciousness was completely dispersed, leaving only the instinct in his soul running rampant.
She moved closer to her sage-like master, hooked her fingers around his belt, and gently pulled.
In the simple and crude cave, a spring scene suddenly bloomed.
The cold and aloof swordsman's cheeks flushed slightly, and his slender eyebrows were furrowed, as if he had never encountered such a strange feeling before, so that he pursed his red lips helplessly.
However, her new disciple, who couldn't even hit her with a finger, was so bold as to commit insubordination and was obsessed with everything about her.
The swordsman's breathing gradually became rapid, and sweat broke out on his slender body. The red spot under the corner of his eye became more and more beautiful. The hooked little disciple lowered his head and gave him an obsessed kiss.
As the evil thoughts dissipated, Yu Zhao's eyes became clear again.
…But after realizing what she had done, her whole body suddenly stiffened, her back felt cold, and she wished she would not wake up.
What did she do?
She actually put her master——
Yu Zhao suppressed his restlessness and did not dare to continue thinking deeply or reminiscing. Instead, he sat there blankly for a while, then picked up the clothes on the ground with shaking hands and tremblingly put them on his master.
After making sure that her master's breathing had calmed down and her clothes were neat and tidy, and that she was no different from before, she walked out of the cave with one foot deep and one foot shallow and returned to her bamboo house.
It was already daybreak. Not far away, a white crane was pecking at the spiritual fruit gracefully. She had no intention of chasing it away. She just murmured to herself, "This is not right. I have offended Master. This is not right... But if I am discovered, Master will definitely kill me, right? I can't die... I haven't killed the demon cultivator yet. I can't die..."
She was filled with fear and insecurity, and did not dare to continue practicing magic. After just half a month, she became so thin that she was no longer human.
During the half-month retreat, Bo Chi digested the original owner's memories, and tremblingly broke through the Golden Core stage to become a Yuanying stage master.
After consolidating her cultivation, she slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was to use magic to cleanse her body.
That’s right, Yu Zhao had dressed her, but the other party still hugged her and bit her! She has been feeling sticky and uncomfortable for many days!
But when she thought of her little disciple's past, she couldn't bear to punish him.
Because Yu Zhao in this world is quite miserable.
As a villain in a melodramatic romance novel, Yu Zhao was lucky enough to live in the same village as the heroine. Unfortunately, their village was suddenly massacred by evil cultivators one day.
Yu Zhao and the heroine were extremely sad, and together they set out to seek the truth from the Xingxiu Sect, intending to take revenge on the evil cultivator personally after they had achieved success in their cultivation.
At the initiation ceremony, the heroine was found to have only one spiritual root, which attracted countless elders to fight for her.
Yu Zhaoze was found to have mixed spiritual roots. He stood alone under the gaze of the world, not wanted by anyone.
Just when she was about to be sent away to be a menial disciple, the original owner appeared and accepted her as his only senior disciple.
Everyone thought that the original owner was kind-hearted, and Yu Zhao was grateful and respectful to her. However, the original owner had other intentions for accepting Yu Zhao.
'Youmei' is the original owner's Taoist name, which also implies that she is not the sword fairy in the eyes of outsiders. She hides her purpose and walks between humans and demons. Her figure is dim and unclear, making it impossible to guess her true thoughts.
It was not until Yu Zhao succeeded in his training five years later and excitedly went to the original owner to report the good news that the original owner tore off the hypocritical mask and threw Yu Zhao into the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
Yu Zhao struggled in there for three hundred years, his flesh and blood being devoured by demons. He accidentally awakened the demon blood in his body, and when he was dying, he broke through his cultivation level, abandoned his tattered body, escaped from the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons as a Nascent Soul, and returned to the world of cultivation.
After experiencing the pain of being tortured to death, Yu Zhao's temperament changed drastically. Later, when she learned that her biological father was not dead but a demon cultivator, she became entangled in her own position.
During this period, she hunted down the original owner for decades, and finally forced the original owner to tell her the reason why he wanted to harm her - Youmei had betrayed the human race long ago and defected to the demon race, and Yu Zhao, an ordinary villager with mixed spiritual roots and no background, was the blood food she offered to the demon.
The villain turned evil at this point, and also confirmed that he was a human being and would always stand on the side of humans, and then he turned around and killed the original owner.
The Xingxiu Sect was unaware of the original owner's identity and thought that Yu Zhao was betraying his master and ancestors, so they immediately sent people to capture Yu Zhao. The heroine happened to be among this group of people.
She and Yu Zhao met unexpectedly and recognized each other's identities. Due to his tragic experience in the past, Yu Zhao spoke frankly to her and stated that he would wipe out the demons, kill the Demon Lord, and avenge everyone in the village.
But on the day she sneaked into the Demon Realm, she was surrounded and attacked by people sent by the Demon Lord.
And the heroine... was in the Demon Lord's arms.
The heroine didn't want to kill Yu Zhao. She just couldn't help herself and fell in love with the Demon Lord, so she didn't want her to hurt her lover.
Yu Zhao found it absurd and ridiculous.
After discovering that the heroine truly fell in love with the enemy who wiped out their entire family, Yu Zhao angrily blew up his Nascent Soul, wanting to take the idiot with him to hell before he died.
Unfortunately, she failed. The heroine only had her skin scratched. Then, she naturally snuggled in the arms of the Demon Lord and was "loved" by the domineering Demon Lord.
Just by looking at this plot, Bo Chi felt aggrieved for Yu Zhao.
She shook her head, straightened her clothes, walked out of the cave and went towards Yu Zhao.
There are seventy-three peaks in the Xingxiu Sect, and each peak is presided over by an elder. The original owner became the master of twenty-two peaks at a young age. In the eyes of outsiders, he was extremely talented and had a promising future.
The original owner did not like pleasure and did not care about his own peak at all. Not only did he stay in seclusion in a simple cave, he even did not order anyone to clean up his disciple's room. Bo Chi walked to Yu Zhao's house and saw that the bamboo house was very shabby, as if it was casually built in the deep mountains and forests, without any immortal style.
She sighed in her heart, maintaining her original cold expression on her face. She raised her hand and waved her sleeves, opening the bamboo door in the air, and called out lightly, "Disciple."
There was a clanging sound in the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Bo Chi tilted his head to look, and saw Yu Zhao running out in a hurry. He quickly looked away and put on a cold face.
"Master..." After Yu Zhao came out, he immediately knelt down, opened his mouth and shouted, then his face turned pale and he didn't say anything else.
She was thin and had almost no flesh on her face, looking even more pitiful than when Bo Chi saw her half a month ago.
Bo Chi asked the system in surprise: [Why has my little disciple become so thin? Being abused? 】
[It should be because of fear.] The system was open-minded and said calmly: [The world of cultivation values the relationship between master and disciple. Once the news of her bullying you gets out, she will surely die - the only difference is whether she dies at your hands or at the hands of your leader. 】
Bo Chi, a modern man, was not clear about this. Seeing Yu Zhao kneeling unsteadily, he was suddenly filled with pity and decided to suffer a little loss himself and suppress the matter.
"Get up." Her expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened. She said, "Master has broken through the Golden Core and entered the Nascent Soul stage. How have you been practicing in the mountains these days? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Yu Zhao was stunned and glanced at her cautiously.
Bo Chi pretended not to notice.
Yu Zhao then stood up, opened his mouth, and said in a low voice: "My disciple sensed the spiritual energy a few days ago. However, after the spiritual energy entered my body, my consciousness became hazy, and I did some... bad things out of control."
She obviously wanted to conceal the mistake she made that day, but she couldn't lie, so she uttered these words in a dry voice. To someone who paid close attention, it sounded as funny as if the video was half-censored.
Bo Chi looked thoughtful, but in fact he had flipped through the original novel's plot of a million words, searching for a long time. Finally, he found the reason why Yu Zhao felt strange about the spiritual energy entering his body in the love between the hero and heroine.
——Because Yu Zhao has half demon blood in her body, her body will have two completely different reactions when she absorbs spiritual energy.
Human blood can accept and absorb spiritual energy, but demon blood is extremely disgusted and repulsive.
The two reactions were intertwined, and it was a blessing that Yu Zhao was merely driven insane.
However, in the original plot, the villain was not so lucky. After she absorbed the spiritual energy, her meridians were broken on the spot, her body was soaked in blood, and she struggled in the bamboo house for several days, and finally survived on her own.
When the original owner came out of retreat, she asked as usual, but the original owner didn't know that she was carrying demon blood, so he couldn't give any solution.
The villain was unwilling to remain so weak, so she studied for a long time and found that bloodletting could allow her to successfully absorb spiritual energy. So every time she practiced thereafter, she would stand in front of the table with a dagger in her hand, absorbing spiritual energy while cutting wounds on her arms.
During her five years of training, she cut herself 1,825 times, each cut stained with blood, testifying to her desire for power and revenge.
Although he admired the villain's character and perseverance, Bo Chi was reluctant to let Yu Zhao do this.
She was silent for two seconds, then decisively knocked on the system.
The system took her points and said: [Isn’t this an easy problem to solve? Double cultivation! You see, after you two practiced together once, she calmed down the restlessness brought about by the demonic blood. Not only did she not experience any negative reactions, but her cultivation also improved a lot. I'm not saying this, the effect is better than bloodletting, don't you really want to consider it? 】
Bo Chi glanced at his uneasy little disciple: [Don’t consider it. I don’t want to scare her to death. 】
[It’s boring.] The system shook its head and gave advice: [The method is very simple. There are two methods. One is to remove the devil blood in her body and let her become a real human. The other is to let her practice in a different way, such as making a contract with a spirit beast, drawing spirit talismans, and opening up the sword heart. It is better to use spiritual power through intermediaries than to absorb it directly. 】
Bo Chi hesitated: [How can I get rid of the devil blood? Will it cause harm to her body? 】
[That won’t happen.] 】The system said calmly: 【It will just make her lose her tail. 】
Bo Chi was immediately shocked: [Tail? ! What tail? I didn't see she had a tail! 】
[All demons are like this. Their true bodies are strange and weird. She inherited half of the demon blood, so it is normal for her to have a tail. 】System: [Her demonic blood is still in a latent state. When it is truly revived, you will naturally be able to see it. 】
For some reason, Bo Chi felt more expectant.
What will Yu Zhao's tail look like?
Is it a short, ball-like rabbit tail, or a big, fluffy, and super easy to rub fox tail?
Just thinking about it, Bo Chi felt a little cute.
The system sighed twice and woke her up in time: [I suggest you keep her magic blood, because in this world, the upper limit of the strength of mixed-bloods is very high. 】
Bo Chi thought about the pile of tails and said happily: "Okay, okay, keep them. 】
The system looked at her happy face, and then thought about Yu Zhao's true self, and couldn't help but grin with gloating, then coughed lightly and said: [Then the only thing left is to use unconventional methods. There are too many possibilities. Just take your time to choose one. After you choose, I will tell you how to do it. 】
There was nothing good for Bo Chi to choose, after all, she was not the one who had to make the choice.
She pulled back her thoughts, looked at Yu Zhao who was lowering his head in front of her, and told her the method.
Yu Zhao was confused after hearing this. After trying to digest it for a long time, he said seriously, "Master, I want to learn swordsmanship."
Bo Chi frowned, "It is extremely difficult to enter the Dao with the sword. Many people are stuck in the sword's heart. Even if you practice swordsmanship well, as long as you can't understand the sword's heart, you can only be regarded as a master in the mortal world, far from being a cultivator."
Yu Zhao's expression was firm. She had never retreated on the road of seeking the truth. "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I don't know anything about refining weapons or drawing talismans. I only know that one day, I will hold a long sword and kill all the demon cultivators in the world to avenge the lives of the 78 people in my Zhaojia Village! Avenge the human race who died at the hands of the demon cultivators!"
Bo Chi stared at her deeply, with no sadness or joy on his face, but he was typing in the system privately: [Did you see it? 】
System: [I see. Since it is a sword selection, then——]
Bo Chi interrupted it excitedly: [Don't interrupt, just look at my wife! Wow, my wife is so cool! 】
system:【? ? ? 】
So I asked it if it saw it...
Just look at how cool Yu Zhao is?
The system was speechless and raised the middle finger at Bo Chi.
Bo Chi saw that his wife wasn't paying attention, so he said contentedly after she finished reading: "Okay, let's get down to business. Where should I go to get a good sword suitable for my wife?" 】
The system didn't want to pay attention to her and just slapped the coordinates on her face.
A large map of the cultivation world appeared in Bo Chi's mind. He looked at it for a long time before finding the location: "Zuimeng Island...Sword of Life and Death..."
She murmured twice, her eyes regained clarity, and said to her little apprentice: "Since you want to enter the Dao with the sword, then I will take you to Zuimeng Island. Although it is famous for its illusions and Miao poisons, no one knows that there is a sword there, a sword that has been sealed for many years."
There was a strange light in Yu Zhao's eyes, and he pursed his lips and nodded.
She was clearly looking forward to it, but she refused to show it and just pretended to be mature beyond her years. In the eyes of the lover, she was a beauty and the more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed to him. He couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.
The calm and steady Yu Zhao blushed instantly, his eyes slightly widened, and he looked at Bo Chi as if he was very surprised.
Bo Chi ignored her. When he was satisfied, he put down his hand as if nothing had happened, summoned his natal sword and floated it in front of him. He stepped on it and said calmly, "Come up."
Yu Zhao swallowed and stepped onto the sword nervously. As soon as she stood firm, the flying sword rose up, which frightened her so much that she suddenly hugged the waist of the person in front of her.
That waist was exceptionally slender, and it twisted gently under her hot palms. She didn't even need to lower her head, because she was too close, she could easily smell the cool fragrance on the other person's body - exactly the same smell as the one she smelled when they were passionate that day.
Yu Zhao's heart was beating fast. He didn't dare to recall the beautiful moments half a month ago and was ready to withdraw his hand.
Bo Chi spoke in time: "If you are scared, just hold me." Yu Zhao opened his mouth, but in the end, for some reason, he did not refuse.
She held her master's waist obediently, totally unaware that her master was breathing a sigh of relief in his heart: "Wow, this is more exciting than racing, and there's no need to wear a seat belt. When we just took off, I was so scared that if Yu Zhao hadn't held me, I would have lost her without even knowing it. 】
System: [That’s why the world of cultivation is very dangerous—Hey, hey, hey, there’s a hill ahead, don’t rush into it! 】
Flying with a sword is a skill that only Jindan-stage cultivators can master. When one reaches Yuanying-stage, one can travel three thousand miles in the blink of an eye, cross the entire Kyushu region in one day, and see a hundred different sights of the world.
But Zuimeng Island is not in the human world. It is located in the far east, backed by the East China Sea, and outside the borders of Tianwuzhou.
Bo Chi flew with Yu Zhao for about three days before they entered Tianwu Prefecture in the evening of that day and chose an inn to stay in.
The shopkeeper, who was facing the door, was counting on an abacus. When he heard footsteps, he looked over.
Bo Chi was wearing a white and blue dress of high-quality texture, with a jade belt tied around her waist. The cuffs and hem of her skirt were embroidered with delicate dark patterns, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item. She had a beautiful face, with her black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin. Even though her face had no expression, the cool temperament that surrounded her still amazed everyone in the inn.
Compared with her, Yu Zhao, who was standing beside her with his head down, looked like a gray ugly duckling and did not attract any attention from others.
The shopkeeper put down his abacus, took the initiative to walk out from behind the counter, bowed to Bo Chi attentively, and spoke politely: "Fairy, do you want to stay at the hotel?"
Bo Chi hummed, and his bare hand swept across the storage bag hanging on his waist. When he raised it again, there were a few more taels of silver in his hand. She placed the silver and money on the table and said simply, "One room upstairs."
"Okay!" The shopkeeper took the money, put on a smile on his face, and personally took Bo Chi upstairs.
Bo Chi took two steps and suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve.
She looked back and saw her young apprentice hesitant to speak: "Master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to live in the same room with you."
Bo Chi asked back: "What's wrong?"
Yu Zhao said nervously: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid of offending you."
Bo Chi turned his head calmly and pulled back his sleeves. The sound was like the sound of jade hitting each other, and it was pleasant to the ear: "Don't worry."
——What she actually wanted to say was, they had already slept together, so why would it be offensive?
Considering his own status, Bo Chi resisted the urge to complain and went to sit down in the house.
The shopkeeper went downstairs and came back with the food soon.
Bo Chi had already been fasting. At this moment, he turned his head to look out the window with a deep and distant gaze. He tried hard to ignore the delicious food and tried his best to convince himself that he was not hungry.
Yu Zhao, on the other hand, ate his meal quietly. His movements were not elegant, but they followed the rules.
Late at night, Bo Chi practiced the cleaning technique, swept away the day's fatigue, and meditated with his eyes lowered.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Yu Zhao's gaze suddenly became much bolder. He no longer glanced at her secretly, but looked at her openly.
When he first became Bo Chi's disciple, Yu Zhao had nothing but respect and gratitude for his master.
But the frivolity of that day was too charming, and she found that she could no longer look at the other person with pure eyes.
Apart from that inexplicable emotion, there is more... guilt and inferiority.
An ant like her actually defiled the bright moon.
If she is discovered in the future, I am afraid that letting her die would be a bargain for her...
Yu Zhao was in a state of confusion, thinking about all sorts of things, and for a moment he didn't notice the person he was staring at, and opened his eyes silently.
Bo Chi looked at her and found that she was distracted. He tilted his head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Yu Zhao was awakened by her voice. He took a step back and bumped into the door with a muffled sound.
"I..." Her face turned red for no apparent reason, and she didn't know what to say. Her eyes flickered and she wanted to look away, but she felt that the way her master tilted his head was so cute that she was reluctant to look away.
Bo Chi thought she was worried about tomorrow's events, so he thought for a moment and said, "Come here."
Yu Zhao's heartbeat quickened, and he mustered up the courage to walk over to her.
Bo Chi patted the seat beside him and said, "Sit down."
Yu Zhao sat down next to Bo Chi stiffly, like a robot following instructions.
The night wind blew in from the window, ruffling her long hair. Yu Zhao sat beside her and smelled the faint fragrance from her hair.
"About Zuimeng Island..." Bo Chi flipped through the plot and acted as a temporary mentor, explaining the regional knowledge of the cultivation world to his little apprentice, trying to ease the other party's panic.
Yu Zhao tried very hard to listen, but maybe it was because the night breeze was too gentle tonight, she would always unconsciously immerse herself in her master's voice until she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Bo Chi: […Are the words I said very hypnotic? 】
System: [I have recorded it. I will listen to it when I have insomnia next time. Thank you. 】
Thin Wings: [? ? ? 】
Yu Zhao was sleeping uneasily. Bo Chi raised his fist at the system, warned it, then laid his disciple down gently and covered him with a quilt. When she stood up, Yu Zhao seemed to sense something and grabbed her hand randomly, mumbling, "Don't go..."
Bo Chi's face turned red and he sat back on the bed obediently, saying happily: "Oh, my wife is so clingy. 】
Before the system had time to speak, they heard Yu Zhao say, "Mom, don't leave."
Thin Wings: [……]
The system suppressed its laughter: [I’m calling you. 】
Bo Chi became angry and said: [Climb down! 】

Bo Chi sighed, thought for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed Yu Zhao's forehead lightly.
"A kiss will stop you from having nightmares." She said in a gentle voice, "Sleep peacefully, I'll be with you from now on."
