Chapter 2: Disguised girl, put on your clothes.
Before he could finish his words, the two guards fell to the ground unexpectedly.
Mu Xingchen smiled. There was a strange fragrance on the umbrella.
She walked in so swaggeringly and walked out so swaggeringly. It took her just a quarter of an hour to get back to her room.
Xiao Qi was speechless: "No wonder there is no defense. This study is easy to enter, but the secret room is hard to find."
Mu Xingchen raised his eyebrows. Normally, no one in the mansion, whether it was the women or the men, dared to go near the study. The old man certainly could not have imagined that someone in the mansion would dare to swagger into the study and open the secret room.
Xiao Qi: "Xingchen, take some medicine first to relieve your injuries."
Mu Xingchen nodded, opened one of the bottles of medicine, swallowed it all in one gulp, and finally threw the empty bottle on the road.
A quarter of an hour later, she returned to the room, just in time.
Looking at the man on the ground, Mu Xingchen curled the corners of her lips slightly: "He's not dead yet." After saying that, she walked over, squatted down, pinched his chin and poured all the medicine in her hand into him.
Xiao Qi exclaimed: "Xingchen! Don't you want to leave a few?" These medicines are the best elixirs that can be found here.
Mu Xingchen threw the empty bottle on the ground, a look of fatigue between his brows as he said, "He's too badly injured, there's no guarantee he can be saved. If he's really dead, it would be a waste of my serious injuries. Besides, this is evidence, and leaving it here would only bring me trouble."
Xiao Qi choked: "If the old man knew you wasted his carefully hidden medicine like this, I'm afraid he would cut you into pieces."
Looking at the wounds on the man's body, Mu Xingchen frowned. The most fatal wound on his body was undoubtedly the sword wound on his chest, only three inches away from his heart. His meridians were almost severed. He was not dead even with such injuries. This man... was not an ordinary person...
She picked up the cocoon and cut open his bloody clothes, then poured all the finest medicine powder on it.
After doing all this, she stood up and looked at the person in front of her in silence.
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Xingchen sighed, "His breathing has become more stable, and the injuries on my body have subsided. It seems that this is a good medicine."
Xiao Qi sneered: "You also know that if the Imperial Master finds out and comes after you, what will you do? You can't just expose your identity and tear your face off with them right away. You are not a person who can tolerate this."
Mu Xingchen sighed and shook his head: "I'm just a waste. If you really doubt me, it must be premeditated."
The place where she is now is the Qie Kingdom in the Xiyao Continent. Her current identity is the eldest daughter of the Qie Kingdom’s Imperial Teacher’s Mansion, and her name is Mu Qing.
The first business she took was from Mu Qing. Half a year ago, when she first came to Xiyao, Mu Qing was the first person to knock on the door of the Seven Star Tower.
When she came, she was wearing a white dress that was almost stained blood red, and her face was full of hatred as she recounted her past.
She said that in the entire Xiyao, everyone could practice spiritual cultivation except her. Since she was a child, she had been regarded as a disgrace by her father and family and ignored. In the mansion, she was often bullied and lived on thin ice.
She never complained about all this, because she felt that she was born unlucky and could not blame others. But suddenly one day she realized that everything she had suffered was caused by others.
The reason why she knew the truth was that when she was being chased by someone, that person thought she was going to die and told her the truth. However, that person did not expect that she would not die after falling off the cliff.
She said that the only reason she got here was because of her hatred.
She said she was willing to pay any price to make a deal with her and make those people die a miserable death.
The girl in front of him was crying blood with every word, which made Mu Xingchen feel a little pity. She was injured too badly, so badly that she could hardly feel her breath.
She couldn't survive, Mu Xingchen knew it, and Mu Qing knew it too.
She looked at her pleadingly, her eyes red as a tear. She knelt on the ground and used her last bit of strength to prop up her body, her eyes full of hope. "Sister, I am willing to be a slave in the next life. Other things can be forgotten, but my mother, my mother died unjustly... Sister, please... my mother..." Her voice became weaker and weaker, and she was no longer able to breathe.
At that time, Mu Xingchen looked at the girl who looked somewhat similar to her and fell silent for a while.
Trade, trade, there is business only when there is exchange. The lust spirit can only be collected after the business is completed. When a person dies, the lust spirit is gone, so what is the point of doing business...
Looking at those eyes, she finally sighed and agreed to Mu Qing, but since she couldn't take the Desire Spirit, she would exchange it for something else.
She came to this place and needed an identity, and in exchange, she helped her fulfill her wish.
At this point, the transaction begins.
In the end, Mu Qing fell down with a smile on his face.
An hour later, it was dark, but it was getting brighter outside. The entire Imperial Master's Mansion was brightly lit, and the sound of footsteps could be heard coming and going.
Mu Xingchen rubbed his ears while listening to the noise outside and said impatiently, "It's noisy."
Xiao Qi was speechless again: "You, the culprit, are really annoying." She changed the subject and said with some concern: "But judging by the situation, they won't give up until they find the culprit. With such a big fuss, the medicine must be the old man's treasure. He will find this place sooner or later."
Mu Xingchen yawned and looked at the man who was still asleep on the bed: "Mu Qing is a transparent person in this mansion. She can't even practice spiritual cultivation. No one will easily suspect her."
Xiao Qi sneered: "Now you have a seriously injured person in your bed. If someone comes here to search, you won't be able to deny it as long as he is found."
Mu Xingchen's lips curled slightly: "No hurry, he will wake up soon."
Xiao Qi sighed, "So what if he wakes up? The situation in this mansion is so tight, and he's seriously injured, where can he escape?"
Mu Xingchen's eyes flickered. This man, despite being so severely injured, hadn't died. His strength must have been much higher than she'd imagined. However, with just the few minions he had at the time, they probably couldn't have pushed him to this point. What had happened to this man, and what was his identity?
A quarter of an hour later, the man's eyebrows began to tremble slightly. Mu Xingchen's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.
She moved closer to the man's face, held up her chin and stared into his eyes intently. She was really looking forward to seeing the pair of purple pupils when he opened his eyes.
Suddenly, the man opened his purple pupils unexpectedly, and at the same time, a murderous aura burst out. Almost in the blink of an eye, he tightly pinched Mu Xingchen's neck.
Mu Xingchen was unable to react in time and was pinched by him, causing her neck to tilt back. Her breathing was blocked and she made an expression of confusion and fear. At the same time, she stared at his pupils and sighed again: What beautiful eyes, I want to dig them out.
The man's eyes sank slightly, and he unconsciously used some strength in his hands, strangling Mu Xingchen so much that he could hardly breathe.
She seemed to be unable to bear the strength in the man's hand. She looked pitiful and said with moist eyes: "Master... Master..."
Li Jing looked into her eyes, his brows tightened, and unconsciously the pair of eyes he saw last when he fainted appeared in his mind... those eyes...
Li Jing's heart trembled when he reacted, and then he immediately let go.
Mu Xingchen was strangled and lost all his strength, and fell straight onto Li Jing, right on Li Jing's chest.
Li Jing was hit in the wound, his face pale with pain. He endured the pain and wanted to help her up, but when he looked down, he saw that Mu Xingchen was wearing a gauze dress for bed, and the snow-white skin underneath the gauze was almost exposed. He immediately turned his head away, put his hands in the air, and then said with forbearance: "Are you okay?"
Xiao Qi in the bracelet was screaming frantically at this moment: "Are you crazy, Mu Xingchen! What are you doing! You were strangled by him? And you fell down? And with that tone! Do you dare to act more realistically???!!!"
Mu Xingchen hid in Li Jing's arms and curled the corners of her lips. She coughed carefully and covered her neck weakly, pretending to get up, but her footing was not stable and she fell into Li Jing's arms again.
This time the impact was even more powerful, and blood began to seep out of Li Jing's bandaged wound. Veins bulged out of his hands, and a little sweat oozed out of his forehead, but he didn't show it on his face, and endured the pain forcefully.
This action surprised Mu Xingchen a little. She knew that she had hit him hard, and he didn't say a word even though the wound was deep and long.
"Young lady?" Li Jing lowered his head slightly. From this line of sight, he could just see Mu Xingchen's snow-white neck and the part of her collar that she had loosened when she pulled it just now.
He immediately closed his eyes, his hands still hanging in the air, not daring to touch her at all. He frowned, gasped with a pale face, "I'm sorry, I didn't react for a moment. Can you... get up by yourself?" He didn't dare to touch her at all.
The corners of Mu Xingchen's lips curled up more and more. It turned out that this guy fell for it.
Mu Xingchen knew when to stop. She struggled to get up from him, lowered her head, and looked at Li Jing with red eyes, aggrieved, "I saved the young master, but he wanted to kill me."
Li Jing's mouth was completely frozen. He opened his eyes, then turned his head to the other side and explained: "No, I didn't react just now, I..." He frowned and didn't know how to explain. Usually, he hated people getting close to him the most, and anyone who approached him would do so with murderous intent.
Mu Xingchen smiled shyly: "It's okay, sir, there's no need to explain." After that, she covered her neck and lowered her head, biting her rosy lips lightly in grievance, as if to relieve the pain in her neck.
Li Jing saw her movements through the candlelight. His brows furrowed, and a sense of strangeness flashed through his mind. "Girl, put on your clothes," he said in a deep voice.
"Yeah." Mu Xingchen answered softly. The moment she turned around, she put away her pitiful expression, and a hint of amusement flashed quickly in her eyes. Now she was wearing a green gauze dress, which was the clothes that girls wore when they went to bed in summer. It rained heavily today, but the weather was hot and humid, so she changed her clothes as soon as she came back. After all, she didn't want to wrong herself by wearing heavy clothes all the time.
After a while, the sound of someone putting on clothes came from the room. Hearing this sound, Li Jing felt a little nervous for some reason.
After Mu Xingchen put on his clothes, he whispered, "Master, you can turn around now."
Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at her, only to see that Mu Xingchen had changed into a white dress. She had no makeup on her face, but her skin was as white as snow. She stared at him straight, her pupils clear and transparent, as if she knew nothing about the world.
Looking at such innocent eyes made him unconsciously think of the scene just now... He felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
