Bai Tuan interjected, "Host, what they said is absolutely true. Mu Xiangjing's face is indeed breathtakingly beautiful."
Dou Shiliu: "..."
She's the least attractive, okay?
Frustrated, Dou Shiliu left with Hou Rong, with Mu Xiangjing following secretly. Dou Shiliu returned to the inn where she was staying.
Mu Xiangjing also booked a room opposite Dou Shiliu and the others. When Dou Shiliu opened the door, she saw a beautiful figure standing at her door, doing something.
Dou Shiliu frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"
Mu Xiangjing turned her head and said with surprise, "What a coincidence, miss, we've met again."
Dou Shiliu's lips twitched. He glanced at the erratic Mu Xiangjing, turned around, closed the door, and went downstairs alone.
He paused slightly: "Don't go in."
Then Dou Shiliu withdrew his gaze, turned, and walked downstairs. Mu Xiangjing's eyes flickered as she glanced at Dou Shiliu's door. Would he obediently stay inside?
Mu Xiangjing didn't realize when she had listened to anyone. She had hidden herself away, intending to secretly gouge out Hou Rong's eyes.
Those eyes are really beautiful.
She lifted her toes and gazed at everything in the room. There was a lump on the bed. Mu Xiangjing's mind was filled with thoughts as she carefully examined it.
After confirming there was no danger, Mu Xiangjing stepped inside. Looking at Hou Rong on the bed, Mu Xiangjing smiled beautifully.
A slender, fair hand lifted Hou Rong's blanket and reached straight towards his eyes, causing Mu Xiangjing's eyes to narrow slightly.
He flipped out the window in an instant, disappearing from sight.
Dou Shiliu emerged from the corner and calmly approached the window. Under the moonlight, Mu Xiangjing's fleeing figure appeared somewhat flustered. Dou Shiliu closed the window.
Under a tree, a lot of grass had been thrown out, and a figure was digging at something.
"Found it! Master!"
Mu Xiangjing frowned, "Give it to me quickly."
Gu Niang then handed the small flower in her hand to Mu Xiangjing, and only then did she realize that what was in front of her was a giant corpse that had been dead for who knows how many years.
The flower had clearly grown from inside the corpse, and it seemed to have a slightly chilly feel under the moonlight.
After Mu Xiangjing ate it in one bite, he felt the numbness in his body gradually fade away. He breathed a slight sigh of relief. The Gu woman in front of him got up and patted the dirt that had gotten on his body from digging up the corpse.
"Master, how did you get cursed?" Gu Niang lifted his rather rugged face and asked Mu Xiangjing in confusion.
"This woman is not simple. You should quickly find someone to investigate her background and the man with her."
Gu Niang was taken aback: "Who has the cult leader taken a fancy to this time?"
Mu Xiangjing kicked Gu Niang in annoyance: "Who I like is none of your business. Tell your men to be smart. The daughter's eyes from the martial arts tournament must be retrieved for me. I'm going to get the eyes that's next to that woman."
Although the woman had good eyesight, Mu Xiangjing got goosebumps all over when she thought about the woman's silent and stealthy Gu poison. This woman was elusive and unpredictable.
"If it weren't for the Gu Niang being nearby and able to find the spiritual flower, he would have perished," Mu Xiangjing spat out in a gloomy tone.
"Keep a close eye on me, I might be targeting someone soon."
Gu Niang nodded, turned and left. Being entangled with their leader was quite an honor.
After Mu Xiangjing finished tidying up, she used her light-footed skill to turn around and return to the inn where she had been, and went back to her room.
Dou Shiliu's room across the street was tightly closed, and there was no sign of movement. Mu Xiangjing lowered her eyes, a wary glint in them. This woman was probably on guard against him.
The next day, Mu Xiangjing got up and felt a slight movement across from her. Her eyes flashed, and she opened the door. Sure enough, there was a woman facing her.
Mu Xiangjing smiled and said, "You're up early, Miss~"
Dou Shiliu glanced at her indifferently, then turned and went downstairs to get breakfast, with Mu Xiangjing following behind.
There were too many customers, and the waiter was too busy to handle them all. Dou Shiliu couldn't let Hou Rong go hungry, so he went down to the kitchen to get some himself.
With Mu Xiangjing by his side, Dou Shiliu picked up the millet porridge and turned to leave. Mu Xiangjing hurriedly grabbed a steamed bun and a mantou, calling out, "Wait for me, miss!"
Mu Xiangjing took a bite of the steamed bun and hurriedly chased after him. Looking at the pale green figure, Mu Xiangjing hesitated for a moment, patted her chest, swallowed the bun, and then followed Dou Shiliu upstairs.
Dou Shiliu stopped walking abruptly, and Mu Xiangjing nearly bumped into her in her haste. "Miss, why did you suddenly stop?"
Dou Shiliu turned to look at him, "What do you want to do?"
Mu Xiangjing blinked. "You look kind, I'd like to travel with you."
Dou Shiliu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm not going anywhere else, so why are you going the same way?"
Mu Xiangjing: "Then I'll stay in this part of the city with you for a while," so it will be convenient for him to get his eyes removed.
Mu Xiangjing's smile was like the swaying of the four seasons, like a flower bathed in sunlight, making people feel very fond of her.
Dou Shiliu paused for a moment, then spoke: "The skill you practice, is it some kind of charm technique?"
Mu Xiangjing: "...", her smile instantly froze on her face.
"Girl, what nonsense are you spouting? I'm an innocent girl, how could I possibly practice those things!" Mu Xiangjing's delicate face was puffed up with anger, as if Dou Shiliu had crossed his bottom line.
Dou Shiliu rolled her eyes at Mu Xiangjing for still acting innocent in front of her, turned around and went back to her room, slamming the door shut so that Mu Xiangjing couldn't see anything inside.
Mu Xiangjing almost got her nose pinched!
Mu Xiangjing gritted her teeth and made a convex gesture towards Dou Shiliu's door before turning around and going back to her room.
He simply refused to believe that Hou Rong wouldn't be alone if they stayed indoors.
Mu Xiangjing has an eye fetish; she likes to collect eyes of all sizes. When Dou Shiliu saw this information, he shuddered. He couldn't believe that such a well-behaved girl—no, a boy—had such a disgusting quirk.
Mu Xiangjing has a dark room filled with eyes of all sizes and shapes. Each eye, once you look at it, reveals why these crystal-clear eyes truly radiate their charm at all times.
Dou Shiliu: "Ugh!"
Sorry, she really doesn't appreciate it.
Today, she gave Hou Rong a different medicine. As usual, various bottles and jars were laid out on the table, but Hou Rong had a bitter face, looking unhappy and unwilling.
Dou Shiliu sat to one side, head held high, and said calmly, "Hou Rong, choose one."
Hou Rong: "...", my sister doesn't want to take her medicine anymore.
Faced with Dou Shiliu's oppressive gaze, Hou Rong looked aggrieved and took out a red bottle, pouring out a red pill. Hesitation flashed in her eyes as she looked up at Dou Shiliu: "...Sister..."
Dou Shiliu said indifferently: "Eat."
