I don't know what Mu Xiangjing did.
She's turned the martial arts tournament into a complete mess; what kind of trouble will she cause this morning?
"elder sister……"
Dou Shiliu's coldness subsided, and she turned to see Hou Rong rubbing her eyes in bed, her face flushed and radiant.
"I slept for so long yesterday, but I feel quite energetic today." Dou Shiliu leaned over to look at him as he stepped onto the bed.
Do you need me to help you get dressed?
Hou Rong rubbed his eyes and nodded. Dou Shiliu picked up the white robe and dressed Hou Rong properly, tying a fine piece of Hetian jade in the middle of the robe, adding a touch of elegance.
"Come on, let's wash up."
Dou Shiliu gave Hou Rong water to wash his face, cleaned him up, and then went downstairs with him to have breakfast.
Just then, Mu Xiangjing came downstairs and saw that they had already eaten breakfast, so she went over to take a look.
White rice porridge, two side dishes, and a cold cucumber salad look incredibly appetizing.
"Together?" Dou Shiliu asked casually, which surprised Mu Xiangjing. She hadn't expected this woman to invite him, so he naturally agreed.
Mu Xiangjing smiled and asked to sit next to Hou Rong, but Dou Shiliu glanced at her indifferently and said, "Miss, sit next to me."
A faint air of authority emanated from Dou Shiliu, and Mu Xiangjing reluctantly moved to sit down next to him.
The waiter brought over a bowl and chopsticks, and Mu Xiangjing thanked him with a smile.
"Girl, what do you think of the suggestion I made last night?" Dou Shiliu turned and stared at Mu Xiangjing.
Last night, Mu Xiangjing remembered that Dou Shiliu had suggested going to check out the Demonic Sect.
"Ahem," Mu Xiangjing's eyes darted around, "What did you say last night, young lady?"
Dou Shiliu: "Go check out your demonic cult!"
Mu Xiangjing swallowed, her eyes fixed on Dou Shiliu with an uneasy look, and casually probed, "Miss... I'm just an honest and law-abiding woman. The Demonic Sect and such are simply too terrifying!"
Dou Shiliu: "..."
She narrowed her eyes: "Are you kidding me?"
Hou Rong blinked her bright eyes, sipped her rice porridge, and watched Dou Shiliu and Mu Xiangjing stare at each other, clearly unaware of what they were talking about.
Mu Xiangjing's performance was excellent; when he mentioned the words "Demon Sect," his body even trembled slightly in sync.
Dou Shiliu narrowed his eyes. "Very good."
Mu Xiangjing was puzzled: "Very good? Very good in what way?"
Dou Shiliu put down his chopsticks and looked around. "I'm going to the Demonic Sect, so you shouldn't come with me, young lady. You look so scared."
Mu Xiangjing: "..."
Mu Xiangjing glanced at Dou Shiliu with surprise. Dou Shiliu was also looking at her casually. Suddenly, she realized something.
Mu Xiangjing smiled faintly, "When did you find out?"
It seems he never revealed that he was the leader of a demonic cult.
Dou Shiliu: "Oh, I knew as soon as I arrived."
The system told her, "Of course I know."
Mu Xiangjing: "..."
Looking into Dou Shiliu's indifferent eyes, he knew she wouldn't say when she found out about him.
What are you going to do at the Demonic Cult?
Mu Xiangjing thought for a moment. He had recently offended the leader of the martial arts alliance, so was this woman trying to get revenge on him?
Dou Shiliu: "Go find a medicinal herb."
Mu Xiangjing finished the last piece of cucumber, looked up, and said, "You should know that the Demonic Sect is full of poison."
Dou Shiliu: "Hmm"
Mu Xiangjing laughed: "So, young lady, you're looking for poison?"
Dou Shiliu nodded, glancing indifferently at Mu Xiangjing. What are you laughing at?
Mu Xiangjing shut up. He withdrew the smile from his eyes, pointed at Hou Rong to the side, and said, "Miss, give him to me, and I'll give you whatever medicine you want."
"Keep dreaming."
Dou Shiliu coldly put down his chopsticks, staring at Mu Xiangjing. Couldn't she go find him herself? Did she really have to give him this cannon fodder character? Dream on!
Mu Xiangjing pouted her delicate lips. "Just saying."
Mu Xiangjing glanced at Hou Rong with a hint of regret, hoping that this precious child could get out of Dou Shiliu's sight.
With Dou Shiliu around, he can't make a move.
Legend has it that an inn was bewitched by a group of people, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. It is rumored that the bewitching was done by a Gu-wielding woman from the Demonic Sect. Mu Xiangjing thinks that the mastermind behind this is probably the woman in front of him.
"The Gu poison in that inn was cast by you, young lady?" Mu Xiangjing asked with some interest, hoping it was a master.
No, it wasn't me.
Mu Xiangjing's lips twitched: "If it's not you, then who is it?"
Dou Shiliu narrowed his eyes: "Didn't they all say it was the work of the Demonic Cult's Gu Maiden?"
Mu Xiangjing: "Gu Niang is not a woman, but the rumors say she is."
Dou Shiliu: "Oh, I don't know that."
Mu Xiangjing watched as Dou Shiliu pretended to be stupid, but there was nothing she could do. Regardless of whether it was her doing or not, he had to be brought under her control.
Mu Xiangjing's eyes burned as she looked at Dou Shiliu. Dou Shiliu left expressionlessly, and Hou Rong, of course, obediently followed suit like a little shadow.
A short while later, Dou Shiliu checked out of the room and left with Hou Rong. Mu Xiangjing quickly followed, asking, "Where are you going, Miss?"
Dou Shiliu: The Demonic Cult
Mu Xiangjing: "..."
"Demonic Sect, what medicine are you going to get?"
"poison"
"..."
Mu Xiangjing didn't understand Dou Shiliu, smacked her lips, then lifted her skirt and quickly followed.
After trekking through mountains and rivers to reach the heart of the city, Dou Shiliu took out a water bottle and gave Hou Rong a sip. Mu Xiangjing leaned in, her eyes pleading, "Miss, I want one too!"
Dou Shiliu glanced at him: "No, go find a stream yourself."
Mu Xiangjing: "..."
Dou Shiliu gave Hou Rong a small stool, found some firewood, spread it out in a dry place, and started a fire.
Mu Xiangjing: "Are you going to rest here?"
Dou Shiliu calmly lit a small piece of firewood, listening to the crackling sound of the fire burning brighter and brighter, casting a fiery red glow on Dou Shiliu's fair face.
Mu Xiangjing was speechless. What kind of nonsense questions was he asking? It was obvious he wanted to rest here.
"Hou Rong, come here."
Hou Rong, who was sitting there, got up and came over. Dou Shiliu took his hand and walked to the back. Mu Xiangjing followed, and then they saw that it was actually a stream.
Mu Xiangjing was deeply moved: "Girl, thank you for leading me to find a water source."
Dou Shiliu wasn't born yet; she just wanted to catch a few fish so that Hou Rong wouldn't go hungry.
Catching fish with bare hands—Doushi Liushi has done quite a few of these things.
Dou Shiliu turned her head and said, "Mu Xiangjing, go and gather some firewood. I'll cook."
Mu Xiangjing: "..."
How could the leader of a dignified demonic sect possibly go to pick up matches?
Dou Shiliu raised an eyebrow: "Or, you can cook, and I'll go gather firewood."
Mu Xiangjing immediately said, "I'll go gather firewood."
He turned and stepped into the woods.
Dou Shiliu clapped her hands, rolled up her skirt, and then went into the river, looking down at the little fish swimming around her feet.
Hou Rong watched from the shore, obediently observing Dou Shiliu's every move.
