Chapter 279: Strange Boy
"Uh...well, I'll proceed according to the plan. You guys chat first!"
Zhiluo looked guilty, held her forehead with her hands, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Yun Qingqing coughed with her hand on her chin and looked away.
"I'm not wrong. If the rain keeps falling like this, it will take another three days..."
But she didn't say that the rain would change.
"Yun Qingqing," Xiao Changheng narrowed his eyes, "You are not planning to abandon your husband and act alone, are you?"
"..." The woman was silent.
Xiao Changheng looked at her solemnly for a while and almost laughed out of anger.
"So how do you plan to arrange your marriage?"
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips and thought for a while, then took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at him and said seriously:
"In fact, this matter is not as serious as you think. My physical condition and spiritual power are no longer comparable to the past. This heavenly disaster is no longer a threat to me."
"I have set up defenses in this courtyard. You will not be in danger if you stay here. This way I can solve the problem with more peace of mind."
"So," Xiao Changheng said calmly, "you mean, you want me to stay here and do nothing, waiting for you to solve everything?"
Yun Qingqing looked at his expression, nodded silently, and began to consider the possibility of making this man unconscious for two days.
Just when she thought that a certain prince would strongly object, the man opposite her spoke calmly:
"good."
"...Hmm?" Yun Qingqing blinked, "You agree?"
Xiao Changheng seemed to have figured something out in an instant. The low mood just now completely disappeared, and he returned to his usual calm and indifferent state.
He scooped a bowl of porridge from the pot and placed it in front of Yun Qingqing:
"What if you don't agree? If I insist on going with you, it will only distract you and hold you back."
Yun Qingqing: "Ahem, that's true..."
Well that's what she meant.
Xiao Changheng glanced at her, as if he had guessed what she was thinking, but he did not expose her.
"When are we leaving? Can you finish this meal properly?"
Yun Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and picked up the bowl:
"We'll be leaving soon. Be careful and don't leave this yard for the next few days."
In the following time, Xiao Changheng didn't say anything that made her feel uncomfortable, and the two of them ate breakfast in silence.
After the meal, Yun Qingqing gave him a few life-saving talismans, then took out the teleportation array talisman and gave a signal to Zhiluo.
The array talisman lit up, and the girl's figure gradually faded in the light, and finally disappeared on the spot.
Xiao Changheng watched her leave quietly, his face hidden in the shadows and his expression could not be seen clearly.
…
…
A tower city a hundred miles away.
In an inconspicuous little inn room, a light flashed from the ground formation, and Yun Qingqing appeared in front of Zhiluo.
Zhiluo curled her red lips and looked at her with a half-smile:
"You convinced him so quickly, you didn't knock him out and run away, did you?"
"No!" Yun Qingqing denied it.
Although she had that plan, she didn't actually do it.
"Time is running out, so stop talking about useless things." With a serious face, she took out an umbrella from the space and went out.
Zhiluo chuckled, raised her hand to conjure up a mock umbrella, and followed.
The rain here was slightly lighter than in Ding County, but it was also extremely rare during the dry season. When the two passed by the lobby of the inn, they heard the guests complaining that they could not go out.
The two of them walked onto the street with umbrellas open. There were almost no pedestrians, and only a few shops were open on the street.
The dense raindrops dripped on the ground, forming bubbles. The water on the road gathered into ditches, flowing like streams.
If someone on the street was paying attention at this moment, they would find that the woman in red holding the umbrella looked a little strange.
The raindrops did not splash at all on her red umbrella, nor did any column of water flow down from the edge of the umbrella ribs.
But her body didn't look wet at all, and she seemed like a piece of scenery outside the heavy rain.
Yun Qingqing walked quickly towards the location calculated yesterday. She turned to look at Zhiluo, smiled and shook her head:
"Your trick is too easy."
"No one's watching anyway, so why bother?" Zhiluo curled her red lips and said indifferently.
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard faint shouting and cursing from the front.
The two looked at each other, then moved instantly and hid outside a street.
There was a thatched hut at the corner of the alley a few steps away, and the shouting and cursing became clearer, accompanied by punches, kicks and muffled groans.
"You little bastard, you're so stubborn! You dare to stab me with a knife! If the official didn't like you, I would break all your hands and feet today!"
"Beat him! Beat him hard! Just don't leave any visible injuries, hit him wherever it hurts! I'm going to show him how powerful I am today!"
"Fuck, you dare to fight back? Hold him down, I want to teach this brat a lesson myself, let's see how long his stubbornness can last..."
"Fuck, catch him! Don't let him stab anyone with the knife again...ah, what are you doing! Stop it~"
When Yun Qingqing and the other person arrived at the straw hut, the shouting and cursing inside suddenly stopped, and turned into shocked and worried persuasion.
"You, don't mess around..."
I saw three or four burly men surrounding a young boy.
When Yun Qingqing saw him, a bright light suddenly appeared in her eyes, causing her to take a deep breath.
The boy looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his thin and frail figure showed that he was malnourished.
But he had a face that was almost demonic.
The boy's face was so white that it seemed transparent, his facial features were so delicate that he looked like a person walking out of a painting. His phoenix eyes were of a strange light grey color, as pure and clear as crystal, so beautiful that they did not seem like an ordinary thing on earth.
However, the fierceness in those crystal phoenix eyes was like a ghost crawling out of hell, which made people feel cold at first sight.
The young man held a sharp knife tightly in his hand, pointing it at his face, staring at the enemies who were surrounding him.
The big men were obviously afraid that he would hurt their faces, so they stopped in panic.
"Don't move, we can talk it over!" the bearded leader said urgently, "Put down the knife, as long as you are willing to go back with us, we won't beat you!"
"Think carefully, your face is the only thing of value in your body. If you learn to be obedient, you can not only have enough food to eat, but if you can serve the important people well, you can also enjoy wealth and glory!"
"But if you really hurt this face and anger that master, you will probably die!"
The young man stared at him intently, and suddenly his thin lips curled up, revealing a very beautiful yet cruel smile.
When he spoke, his voice was as sweet as an icy spring on a snowy mountain, yet it also carried a chill as if it were poisoned.
"As expected, you are very scared, aren't you? Hehehe..."
"What if I die?"
"Even if I die, I will drag you to hell with me!"
After saying that, he slashed his own face with the knife without even blinking!
