Chapter 89 A Strong Heart
Lu Qiu silently looked at Xia Wange, who stuck his head out with a grin, for a long time. He couldn't help coughing twice. He had experienced so many emotional changes before. He was killed directly when he opened the curtains. After the kill, he was wrapped in a ball of black air.
Although his legs were a little better, Lu Qiu felt that his heart was not feeling well.
And...the swear words that were automatically playing in his mind were still going on. The fact that he didn't utter a single word showed his amazing self-control and high level of cultivation.
It turns out that when people are extremely frightened, their minds are full of swear words.
It also proves that no matter who works with Xia Wange, they need to have an extremely strong heart.
Especially when he saw that fluffy head rubbed by the quilt looking at him innocently, he wanted to smash her head. There was no reason, it was all personal grudge.
"What kind of talisman did you put on me just now?" Lu Qiu asked Xia Wange in the quilt.
He planned to start the conversation with the other party's professional knowledge.
"It's a talisman paper drawn with my blood. It can temporarily fill you with my scent." Xia Wange explained, "I will wrap you in your quilt, and I can hide it for a while."
Lu Qiu nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that Lu Qiu was staring at her without saying anything, Xia Wange tried to sit up a little, but just as she exerted force, she fell back on the bed. She covered her head and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qiu hurried to the bedside, "You don't feel well? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need me to call a doctor?"
"It's okay." Xia Wange stretched out her hand and waved, "I just came down from the plateau and I feel a little dizzy."
Lu Qiu: “…”
He felt relieved and poured a glass of water for Xia Wange. "You just came down from the plateau?"
"I was dealing with client matters, so I had to travel a long way in a hurry." Xia Wange grabbed the cup and took a few gulps. "I was being chased by this huge group of evil spirits. In order to save time, I rented a car from Nigeria and rushed back to China. I bought the next flight and got on the plane on time. After getting off the car, I paid extra for a taxi and rushed all the way to deliver this fresh evil spirit to you."
After saying that, Xia Wange raised her eyebrows proudly, "How is it? Do you feel good?"
Lu Qiu looked at the other party's smug look, and thought of his own torment over the past few days. He laughed angrily, pursed his lips slightly, and asked directly: "Why have you been avoiding me these days?"
"I'm not hiding from you." Xia Wange's eyes flickered. "I'm on a business trip."
Lu Qiu said firmly, "Yes, he was avoiding me for the past two days."
"Aren't you angry?" Xia Wange looked as if you knew the reason but still wanted to know. "If I run to you when you're angry, am I just waiting for bad luck?"
Lu Qiu: “…”
What he said made so much sense that he was speechless.
"Besides, I also brought something for you this time." Xia Wange raised her eyebrows, her tone very arrogant.
"That evil spirit?" Lu Qiu touched his leg and nodded, "Yes, it is indeed a very special gift."
"This is just the beginning." Xia Wange reached his hand into the quilt, rummaged around, and pulled out a sharp spike with a handle. The shape was very strange, like an umbrella with the umbrella cover removed and only the umbrella frame left.
This thorn is as long as an adult male's thigh and is warm yellow in color, a bit like jade.
But Lu Qiu understood that this was definitely not jade.
"How is it?" Xia Wange shook the long thorn in his hand. "This bone is all covered with pulp."
Lu Qiu: “…”
He knew it was definitely not something serious.
After waiting for a while, Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange again and again, a little puzzled, "Why don't you talk about your glorious achievements this time?"
"Well, there's nothing to say." Xia Wange said unhappily, "I lost the fight."
"Hmm?" Lu Qiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xia Wange. Seeing that she was not injured, he was slightly relieved this time. "Lost?"
"Yes, I lost." Xia Wange sighed softly, "Otherwise I wouldn't have rushed thousands of miles to give you such a murderous aura."
Lu Qiu: “…”
"Just a brief explanation?"
Xia Wange, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, glanced at Lu Qiu, tried to hold back her words for a while, then tried again, but finally couldn't hold it back and started to babble.
She first briefly summarized how she used Jiao Xiaolian's hair and blood to perform a sleight of hand to replace the other party, and then followed her handsome boyfriend to the other party's lair...
"Wait, how handsome is he?" Lu Qiu interrupted and asked.
"That's not the point." Xia Wange skipped over the topic. "The point is, the people in their cult's lair are much more serious than Jiao Xiaolian's boyfriend. They are using evil objects to absorb the evil spirit, especially the bone spur in the middle that is wrapped in patina. It's so evil that I was jealous and used all means to get them to sacrifice me. Until I was pushed into the middle of the formation, when seven or eight of them surrounded me to cast the formation, I took the opportunity to pull out the thorn..."
"Seven or eight people?" Lu Qiu raised his eyebrows.
"Thirteen." Xia Wange corrected, "Eight are casting formations like wizards, and five are guarding outside."
"Why didn't you falsify the number of people this time?" Lu Qiu felt strange.
"Well, we lost anyway. It doesn't matter how many people we had. We lost." After saying that, Xia Wange was stunned and looked at Lu Qiu suspiciously, "When did I ever falsify data? Don't talk nonsense as a CEO like you."
"......" Lu Qiu, "Please continue."
"Then I used the bone spur to fight those wizards." Xia Wange briefly described the scene.
Lu Qiu listened very carefully. Even though Xia Wange's words were very simple, he could still sense the danger in the scene.
He discovered another habit of Xia Wange. She would say simple things in a complicated way and dangerous things in a simple way. While she was proudly showing off how capable she was, she would not make the people who really cared about her worry or feel uncomfortable.
You have to deal with everything yourself, and only report good news, not bad news.
But Lu Qiu didn't like this.
He hoped that he could shoulder the burden with her and share the joys and sorrows.
Xia Wange felt that the atmosphere at this moment was a little weird, and some emotions were about to get out of control, so she could only continue: "Those wizards had no martial ethics, and they were fighting peacefully, and suddenly someone came up with a stick, and I got hit on the arm, causing the talisman paper to not be smooth, otherwise I would not have run away..."
Just as she said this, Lu Qiu grabbed her right wrist, and the next moment, her sleeve was pushed up, revealing large bruises on her arm.
Lu Qiu lowered his eyes and stared at the bruises on Xia Wange's arm for a long time. He didn't let go until he felt her pulling back. His thoughts wandered for a moment. He went to get the medical kit and whispered to comfort her, "You didn't lose. You were alone, and there were so many of them. You took back the evil object in the middle of their magic circle without any injury. This counts as your victory."
