That day, Qingwu went to pay off the 10,000 divine coins that Chu Xinxin had tricked her into buying perfume last time. As soon as she stepped out of the perfume shop, she saw two people dressed as temple guards walking by.
Qingwu didn't pay any attention and was thinking about going to find Mengji as soon as possible.
She's penniless except for a bunch of perfumes, so she'll use this as an excuse to move into Meng Ji's house and take the opportunity to develop a relationship with him.
As they passed each other, she overheard the two guards talking about things like "the abyss," "the monster uprising," and "Yaoqing."
She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and wanted to ask for clarification.
But the guards had already disappeared around the corner.
Qingwu felt a little down. It was only natural that the Yaoqing Grass would emit a fragrance when it matured, which would attract monsters to riot.
Thinking of this, Qingwu quickened his pace and hurried to Mengji's house.
Upon arrival, they were informed by Meng Ji's steward that Meng Ji had gone to the temple to discuss the marriage.
Discussing marriage... A hint of resentment flickered in Qingwu's beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
The temple is the goddess's domain; if they're discussing marriage, then the priest must also be present.
If the goddess tries to trick her again, Meng Ji will never help her; she doesn't want to go and give the goddess a free kill.
Qingwu thought for a moment, then took off a bracelet from her wrist: "Manager, this bracelet can be sold for twenty divine coins. I'll give it to you to buy some wine. Please go and tell Mengji that I have something extremely urgent to discuss with him."
The steward took the bracelet and headed towards the temple.
Qingwu walked into the lobby and waited.
It's likely that Meng Ji left in a hurry, and many of his belongings are still left in the lobby and haven't been put away.
The servants knew that Qingwu was Mengji's good friend, so they didn't stop her from going in.
Looking at the betrothal gifts that filled the entire room, Qingwu's jealousy grew even stronger.
She even saw the most precious mutton-fat white jade in her hometown of Shizhe Mountain, and Mengji actually packed a whole box of it.
It should be noted that even though Shizhe Mountain is rich in jade, this mutton fat white jade is extremely rare.
Beside them were mermaid pearls, mermaid gauze, and rare monster pelts—items rarely seen by ordinary people...
The goddess is just occupying a good identity. She has been with Mengji for many years, and these things should rightfully belong to her!
Instead of being penniless and having to beg for shelter, as is the case now.
The more Qingwu thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and his hatred for Chu Xinxin grew deeper and deeper.
......
On the other side, after discussing the details of the wedding with the priest, Meng Ji walked out of the temple and ran into Chu Xinxin.
"Goddess." Meng Ji bowed slightly with great respect.
The priest didn't show it on his face, but he nodded inwardly, thinking that Meng Ji was neither arrogant nor impatient, and was very humble.
In front of the priest, Meng Ji dared not be so arrogant as to perform the incantation.
Chu Xinxin thought of the "chosen one" and didn't show any negative emotions towards Meng Ji.
Mengji's manager watched from afar as the three of them chatted more and more enthusiastically, even showing signs of having a long conversation.
Fearing that it might cause delays, he asked the guard at the gate to inform the others.
The steward had delivered things to Meng Ji several times before, and the guard at the gate recognized him, so he helped him with this favor.
Meng Ji and the priest took their leave, and Chu Xinxin pretended to be reluctant to see him off, but in reality, she wanted to eavesdrop on whether her plan had worked.
The two arrived at the gate, and the steward said anxiously, "Lord Mengji, Qing..."
When Meng Ji saw that the bracelet on his wrist was made of Qingwu, he immediately raised his hand to stop him from speaking. He turned to Chu Xinxin and said, "Goddess, I suddenly remembered that there are some things that need to be taken care of before the wedding. You should go back first, and I will come to see you again tomorrow."
When Chu Xinxin heard the word "Qing," she knew that things had succeeded.
With a gentle smile, she turned around decisively, her movements clean and swift, as if she were about to sever all ties with Meng Ji.
Chu Xinxin quickly returned to her palace, changed her clothes, and sneaked out through a side door.
She had barely poked her head out when she came face to face with Nan Guangyu.
Chu Xinxin had no choice but to bring him along.
The two waited at the city gate and spotted Meng Ji and Qing Wu, then followed them into the Abyss.
They almost got discovered before entering the woods.
Nan Guangyu imitated a few wild cat meows to dispel his doubts.
Even so, Mengji remained cautious and kept taking detours.
Finally, they arrived at a cliff.
Qingwu took a piece of rope, tied it to a large tree, and then threw the other end off the cliff.
She and Meng Ji climbed down the rope.
After they disappeared, Chu Xinxin and Nan Guangyu emerged from the grass with leaves on their heads.
Chu Xinxin walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliff was bottomless, and the rope disappeared into the darkness.
They waited up there for a while, but no one came up.
Chu Xinxin was a little worried that the divine herb had been picked.
"Goddess, I can sense that the divine herb is not yet mature, so please don't worry."
As Nan Guangyu spoke, he moved closer to Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin stood on the edge of the cliff, her back to Nan Guangyu. This was deep in the abyss, and the surroundings were very quiet, without even a bird's call.
If someone were to give her a gentle push, the goddess, who was showered with love and affection, might just disappear from the world, unknown to anyone.
A dangerous glint flashed in Nan Guangyu's eyes. His fingers twitched slightly, and he silently took two steps forward, slowly extending his hand...
Chu Xinxin seemed to sense something and turned her head: "Xiao Yu..."
The next instant, Nan Guangyu covered her mouth, tied her hands behind her back, and dragged her back into the grass.
Chu Xinxin instinctively struggled, and Nan Guangyu whispered in her ear, "They're coming up."
After saying that, Nan Guangyu let go of Chu Xinxin's hand, then picked her up in a princess carry, lightly leaped over a few rocks, and jumped onto a large, leafy tree to hide.
Chu Xin thought about getting down, but Nan Guangyu said again, "Sister, don't move. If you stand down, your feet will be seen."
Chu Xinxin turned her head to look at the cliff, and Nan Guangyu said, "Sister, don't look. If your gaze is too obvious, you'll be noticed."
Chu Xinxin opened her mouth, but Nan Guangyu said, "Sister, don't say it. Your voice is so clear and crisp, it'll be easy to be recognized."
Don't move, don't look, don't say anything. So she can't do anything?
Nan Guangyu also realized that his request was a bit excessive, and smiled silently, a smile that was somewhat wicked.
Chu Xinxin was charmed by that smile and turned her gaze away somewhat awkwardly.
She dared not look at the other side of the cliff, her eyes darting around, avoiding the cliff and Nan Guangyu's face.
As it flew, it flew up to Nan Guangyu's Adam's apple.
Perhaps it was a bit hot, because a few drops of sweat slowly slid down Nan Guangyu's Adam's apple.
Nan Guangyu swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, looking somewhat sexy.
Chu Xinxin had nowhere else to look, so she just kept staring at that spot.
Nan Guangyu suddenly hugged Chu Xinxin tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, do you know that looking at someone's Adam's apple represents a strong..."
hint. "
What does this imply?
Nan Guangyu said there was another word before "hint," which Chu Xinxin heard, but thought she had misheard.
How could Xiao Yu, who is as innocent and adorable as a little white rabbit, possibly utter such words?
Chu Xinxin thought to herself that she must have misheard.
Nan Guangyu watched as the girl in his arms pretended to be stupid, and as if punishing her, he suddenly let go of her hand.
Startled, Chu Xinxin quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Nan Guangyu chuckled softly and hugged the girl in his arms tightly again.
