Chapter 125: The Fragrance of the Handsome Guy

Chu Liuxiang waited and waited, until the beauty in the cabin woke up, but he never saw Su Rongrong or the others, or received a reply.

Then he realized that something had happened to them.

Chu Liuxiang sat under the sail with a heavy face, and his affectionate eyes rarely showed such solemnity even in his own home.

despair.

He heard a very light sound of footsteps.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly came to his senses and looked back. The woman he rescued last night was standing less than five steps behind him. However, until he heard the deliberate footsteps... he was unaware of it.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes darkened, and a feeling of fear rose involuntarily in his heart.

The woman he rescued from the sea looked completely different when she was unconscious and when she was awake.

When she was unconscious, she was heartbreakingly weak.

And when she woke up...

The pair of eyes that had been closed all night were a rare silver-gray color, like a full moon surrounded by mist, looking down at people dimly, easily evoking the deepest fear and confusion in people's hearts.

Which is scarier, fear or confusion? Sometimes even the people in the situation can’t tell.

But when they appear at the same time, few people can break free from this double shackle.

She didn't seem to have the habit of tying her hair up, and her black hair, which was long enough to reach her bare feet, was just draped behind her, hanging straight down. Her long hair started to curl from her waist, like rippling waves or tangled seaweed.

Her clothes are neither like those from the Central Plains nor those from the Western Regions.

The light blue dress was like clouds and mist, layer upon layer, and seemed to be lifted up by the breeze. Her waist was tied with a pearl chain, each pearl was the size of a longan, shiny and glistening, and was an extraordinary product.

The shoes on his feet were not of the style from the Central Plains or the Western Regions. At least the knowledgeable Xiang Shuai had never seen any shoes that could make such a sound when stepping on the ground. It was a low sound, as if there was a layer of separation from the ground.

It was clearly Chu Liuxiang who rescued the person, but now the person being rescued was standing in front of him, he felt that this person was very strange, as if he had never seen him before.

Although he didn't dare to boast about how powerful his martial arts were, he was still quite capable. Even with his strength, he couldn't detect the opponent's arrival, which could only mean one thing -

Her martial arts skills are far superior to his.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but wonder:

Does this girl really need him to save her?

——Needed.

At least until this damn buff wears off.

After Seth's continuous repairs throughout the night, this damn broken buff has been finalized and will not change anymore. Tarona is also convinced that the synchronization rate of this world cannot be improved at all.

It has become stereotyped as "sinking when it sees water".

It doesn't mean to sink, it means to be silent.

As long as the water was deeper than her waist, she would immediately forget how to swim and could only float on the water like a corpse, either drifting with the current or waiting for someone to rescue her.

Our swimming skill has been disabled.

A mermaid can wade in water but cannot swim.

Oh.

Seth: …

Seth: [I'm so sorry! My skills are not good enough...]

Tarona waved his hands, indicating that he didn't need to feel so guilty. It wasn't his fault. It was all the fault of that equally damned anti-surveillance agent.

Alas, is it because she let herself go too much in the Anglo-American world in the past, so now in the distant future, she finally suffered a belated retribution?

It doesn’t matter. Tianqi will not let the anti-surveillance person have an easy time. The little elf has a strong desire for revenge.

Every failure makes you wiser, that's how we all get through this.

but--

Because the beginning was so embarrassing and she had never encountered such a targeted situation before, she decided to play herself.

What is the witch's specialty?

Dig up the radish.

She doesn't even need any extra props; her current look is enough to scare people.

Didn't you see that the son of luck was so frightened that his muscles tightened, and he subconsciously put up a posture that could retreat, defend, advance or attack?

Tarona said confidently, "I know what you are looking for."

The voice of mermaids is recognized to be pleasant.

When mermaids make sounds, people should remain quiet and listen to the natural sounds that seem to come from the deepest part of the world.

Chu Liuxiang is no exception.

He was instinctively alert because of the Dead Sea Mermaid's awe-inspiring appearance, but also subconsciously relaxed because of the Dead Sea Mermaid's ethereal and pure voice.

The man before him was an unfathomable contradiction.

Cold, yet gentle.

Dangerous, but also safe.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly relaxed completely. He was indeed looking for something, and such a person would not lie.

Although everyone has his own agenda, and he has been involved in many disputes and unnecessary matters, he could not imagine what he had that could be coveted by the woman before him. The pearl around her waist alone could buy his boat.

Thinking of leaving, Chu Liuxiang bowed and said: "Please tell me clearly, young lady."

He did not think of the person in front of him as a sorcerer or fortune teller at all. After all, the other party's image did not conform to the current stereotype of the world. He just thought that this girl was either well-informed or... was an insider.

But why did she fall into the sea? And how did she fall into the sea?

Yesterday he rowed his boat to check around. Apart from his boat, there were no other boats nearby, and this place was far from the shore. What kind of person could drop a person right under his nose?

Unless, she emerged from under the sea.

The thought only flashed through his mind and he subconsciously dismissed it.

——People are always good at eliminating correct answers.

Tarona had no interest in understanding the Son of Destiny's thoughts and it was impolite to read his mind. She read the world plot while pretending to be unconscious last night and roughly calculated what node it was at. But when she woke up and took another look in the morning, she found that the plot could only be used as a reference.

The plot of this world is messed up.

Things have been in chaos since Wuhua committed suicide.

In the world story, Chu Liuxiang never saw his three confidantes after returning home. They had disappeared before he came back.

But this world is different. Chu Liuxiang returned home with a gloomy face. The first person he saw was Su Rongrong and the other two who came out to greet him. He had lost contact with them only yesterday.

In fact, this is normal. Data can only be used as a reference. Even in worlds with the same background and nature, the direction of the world will be slightly different, just like when a butterfly flaps its wings, the final ending may become completely different.

In the late night, Tarona went to the room of Su Rongrong and the other two, and found some unkempt hair on their pillows, using this as a medium to take advantage of them.

No life-threatening situation.

We will meet this month.

Very good, they went on a free trip and we will see them again within this month. There are still more than 20 days in this month.

Instead, it was Chu Liuxiang...

The black-haired beauty did not answer, but just stared quietly at the man in front of her. After a long while, she slowly raised her hand.

Before Chu Liuxiang could finish blinking, he felt a pain in his scalp. There was an extra hair in the black-haired beauty's raised hand.

If his sense of smell was still intact, he would be able to smell the faint scent of tulips in the hair.

Xiang Shuai is a particular person.

This made Chu Liuxiang even more certain that the black-haired beauty in front of him was a powerful person whose martial arts skills were far superior to his own. At the same time, the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

How did such a strong man end up falling into the sea?

Could it be that...

Chu Liuxiang suddenly realized that he had missed a possibility!

Madam Qiu Lingsu once mentioned a person who destroyed her appearance just out of jealousy—Shi Guanyin!

Could it be because of the Stone Guanyin?

Tarona narrowed his eyes slightly, and dangerous starlight flashed in his silver-gray eyes.

Why did she feel that the serious Son of Fortune in front of her was thinking about something weird?

Will it?

It must be an illusion.

The five fingers, which were white and almost transparent, were lightly clenched for a moment, and the hair lying quietly in the moist palms instantly vaporized, and the black hair turned into a thin white mist, rising up in curls, and dissipated in the wind within a distance of only half an inch.

Chu Liuxiang was still a little dazed by this unexpected scene, and then he saw the black-haired beauty looking at him with a meaningful look. His heart skipped a beat, and he heard the beauty say in her very pleasant voice: "Mr. Chu, when you sleep this month, it's best to keep one eye closed."

This son of fortune has bad luck and may face a bloody disaster.

It's deadly. Are you scared?

Chu Liuxiang: ...

Chu Liuxiang:???

Sleeping with one eye closed? What does this mean?

Chu Liuxiang took a while to realize the meaning of this sentence, and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He had heard such words many times, always from some charlatans. Why was this girl also like this...

Just when he was about to say something, he heard the sound of water splashing. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed in Western clothes.

Suddenly, a breeze blew from the side, and the beautiful woman's voice rang in my ears, but the breath was ice-cold.

"The guests are here."

Chu Xiangshuai's ears turned visibly red.

He tried hard not to dodge, but his eyes were a little vague and he didn't dare to look to the side.

Treat?

Who's treating?

Who did you invite again?

Everyone praised Chu Liuxiang's intelligence. These questions had just gone through his mind for a while, and the answers popped out spontaneously.

He had seen people dressed like this before.

They are the ones who confronted Leng Qiuhun and claimed to be Black Pearl's subordinates.

It goes without saying who the guests are at this time.

Chu Xiangshuai's usually kind face suddenly turned dark.

Black pearls?

【Seth, write this down. This is the focus.】

[Okay, Miss Ta.]

Tarona stepped back and sat in the seat where Chu Liuxiang had just sat.

The mermaid's tail cannot cross her legs after being transformed into legs, which would make the weapons on both sides of her waist pop out. After the transformation, all the weapons she carries are super-standard destructive weapons that can easily destroy a natural satellite.

If this were a British-American world, if this damn buff didn't work...

Tarona almost instantly thought of the best place to put this vest card.

Dark Multiverse, Earth-Negative-Eleven.

[Dead Sea Mermaid] Isn't he worthy enough to compete with the drowned souls for the position of overlord of the earth's oceans?

When she takes the place of the drowned wraith...

hey-hey.

Unfortunately, for the sake of her own skinny little treasury, she could only complete this series of tasks before she could continue to let herself go.

Seth: …

If he remembered correctly, it was because Miss Ta let herself go too much that she failed several assessments, right?

Is it really the same as Theseus said? Some people seem to care a lot about their own rating, but in fact they are just in Cao's camp but their hearts are with Han.

Fortunately, his partner is not like Miss Ta. Miss Tianqi prefers to make steady progress.

Before Tarona could finish thinking about the future, Chu Liuxiang came back with a sullen face.

He was holding a pearl in his hand, and the person who brought the pearl moved away a long distance in a few moments. It seemed that he was frightened by the angry Chu Xiangshuai.

"girl."

Chu Liuxiang said: "I am going to the desert."

The black-haired beauty nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

She doesn't need to sleep, she can help watch over the life of the Son of Fortune. This is a guide to finding anomalies, free of charge.

Chu Liuxiang, who had some guesses, did not dissuade him. He just nodded in understanding, and the solemnity in his eyes could not be concealed.

Just as he turned around to go back to the cabin to pack his things, the black-haired beauty spoke again: "Doris."

Chu Liuxiang was slightly stunned, and the correct three words spontaneously appeared in his mind.

He turned his head and looked.

The cool black-haired beauty gave him a faint, self-consciously friendly smile: "My name."

Bang.

Chu Liuxiang's heartbeat was unbalanced for a moment.

Seth, who was much more sensitive than Theseus in some ways, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold light of scrutiny was hidden behind the low-key gold-rimmed glasses.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but this lucky son of the Chu family seemed to be acting strangely.

…

If it was just Chu Liuxiang, a horse, a camel, and enough water and dry food, it would be enough.

But now he is not alone, but a beautiful woman as soft as water is going to enter the desert with him.

It's okay for men to be a little rough, but how can women be like this?

The scorching desert is not the water town of Jiangnan. It will only torture people and bring unforgettable bitterness and suffering to the ignorant people who enter this land of death.

Tarona watched Chu Liuxiang busying around, buying more and more things. At first, she didn't react, but just sighed with Seth that this son of luck was quite good at taking care of himself. Later, as they were talking, she suddenly realized that these things were not bought by Chu Liuxiang for her, but for her!

She quickly stopped the Chu family member who wanted to spend several times the price to buy a carriage and said, "You don't have to buy these. I don't need them."

As she spoke, she took off a large pearl from her waist chain and stuffed it into Chu Liuxiang's hand without giving him any excuse. "You can have the same. I'll pay for my share myself."

Chu Liuxiang looked at the hand that was holding her wrist, then looked at the pearl stuffed into her palm, and there seemed to be multiple emotions flashing in her eyes.

He leaned to the side to block all the malicious gazes, looked into those exceptionally beautiful silver-gray eyes, and said, "Miss Doris..." This call seemed to have turned around on the tip of his tongue many times before it came out, and for no reason there was a hint of lingering, "How can these things be considered unnecessary? The desert is different from the land, it is a place of torture. Only by preparing these things can you suffer less when you enter the desert."

If she were an ordinary woman, she would have already been intoxicated by the eyes of this passionate young man and would have answered anything he said.

However, the person he faced this time was a witch with a heart as strong as iron.

Tarona is determined not to buy unnecessary things. She can't make a penny from these things that are completely useless!

Seeing that Chu Liuxiang wanted to say a few more words of advice, she simply grabbed his hand and forcibly pulled him away from the black-hearted car dealership. She turned a deaf ear to the son of fortune's advice, snatched the pearls from his hand, and bought him the same items as the ones he bought at the beginning.

Chu Liuxiang laughed dumbly, touched his nose and said no more.

The looks from all around were filled with jealousy and envy. Who wouldn't want to possess such a beautiful woman who also cares about her husband?

Without even looking, Chu Liuxiang knew what they had misunderstood.

When the two of them rode side by side to the edge of the desert, Chu Liuxiang saw two familiar faces who shouldn't have been there.

"Old bug!"

The man leaning against the side of the carriage jumped onto the roof, put his hands in front of his mouth to make a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly to Chu Liuxiang.

With Tarona's eyesight, she could see everything clearly even if it was 1,800 meters away.

He was a very unkempt man with an unshaven beard. His clothes were not properly dressed, and his chest was wide open, revealing his honey-colored chest. Only his cat-like eyes were very eye-catching.

There was a person sitting on the carriage, dressed in gorgeous clothes, but very low-key. His eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Chu Liuxiang.

These two people are Chu Liuxiang’s good friends, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan.

But why are they here?

Tarona blinked, and the world story seemed to be forced back on track.

But Chu Liuxiang had clearly decided to enter the desert with her alone under her guidance. So where did these two people get the information?

Could it be black pearl again?
