It's not that I'm fickle, it's just that I do look more domineering with this knife. To be precise, the Hidden Evil Knife is delicately made and stylish, and it's a good item to show off. In comparison, the Golden Que Sword looks a bit shabby when worn on a daily basis. Nowadays, there are often some "big shots" visiting Longcheng, and it doesn't matter if they are a bit sloppy on a daily basis, but for this more critical occasion, you still have to bring something presentable.

So I would carry the Yinsha on my back most of the time. It has become a habit of mine. Besides, the Yinsha knife is more practical. If I encounter danger, I can swing it wantonly without worrying about running out of energy in an instant. Therefore, I have become more dependent on it unconsciously. I don’t know if it is because of this, but now these three girls seem to have a lot of opinions about me.

Maybe he thought that I had been possessed by this evil sword, so he wanted to study the Demon Slaying Record.

"Zhou Lang, don't think too much. We are just bored, so we gathered here to have some fun. It's not as complicated as you think. Don't think too much and just do your own thing." Ling Shang got up first, half pushed and half rubbed her way on me, and led me to the door, acting coquettishly and cute all the way, revealing her fox nature.

"Is it really none of my business?" I asked Ling Shang.

Lingshang turned around and asked the other two girls: "Sisters, tell our husbands, are we hiding something from him?"

"No!" they said in unison.

Then Ling Shang looked at me proudly and said, "Now you feel relieved, hurry up and do your business. Why do you care about us girls? We are just looking for something to have fun."

"Oh." I was still skeptical, but these girls were already so cute, it would be inhumane for me to step forward and question them, so I gave up.

Originally, I came back just to get something, which is a special substance placed in the room on the second floor. That thing was what I brought out from the Dark Lord's cave, that is, black stone particles. The Rat King came here just to see this. In addition, I know that one thing has also been eaten into my stomach. Although the Dark Lord has been blown up and no longer exists, the black substance in my stomach may not be useful to me. Whether I care about it or not, I think it's just the way it is.

Besides, I haven't had any symptoms in the past month, but after going through so many things, my feeling still tells me that I should take precautions before anything happens. After all, the black substance once turned Fan Chong into a man-eating demon, and thus affected a primitive tribe to change the nature of their food, causing endless troubles. The same is true for the previous owner of my knife, the guy who called himself the butcher.

Therefore, I thought that if we can eliminate this disaster, we should do it as soon as possible. I came back today precisely because the Rat Man King came to take a look at this thing. The Rat Man King has some abilities of the Lord of Ghosts. After all, he is from the same faction as her and can speak human language. Therefore, there is no need for Yunwen to translate this time.

It seemed to have some solutions. Now Lingshang pushed me out, and it was not convenient for me to go in and get it. I was about to knock on the door again when Su Yuexi walked out of the room. She was the most well-behaved and obedient, so I asked her to help me look for it in the newly installed bedside table. Soon she went there obediently. After giving me the thing, I held her hand and pulled her to the corner. She was a little shy, swallowing her saliva and staring at me.

"Yuexi, you never lie to me. Tell me, what is that book you are reading recently? Why do you read those books when everything is peaceful? And why can't I ever find that book? Do you hide it away separately every time you finish reading it?" I asked a lot of questions in a row.

Su Yuexi cleared her throat and said, "Don't worry, everyone is doing this for your own good and will never harm you. Brother Zhou Bo, don't be so nervous and go to work quickly, otherwise the distinguished guest will be waiting anxiously."

"If you don't tell me, what am I going to do?" I threatened.

"What...what to do?" she asked with anticipation and fear.

I immediately put my hand under her armpit, hoping to make her laugh and beg for mercy, but she didn't seem to feel anything at all. She looked at me curiously and said, "What is this? Are you tickling me?"

I put away my hands, feeling a little embarrassed, but I had to pretend to be calm and said, "Yes, I think if I relieve your itch, you will definitely be grateful to me and tell me the truth."

She chuckled, and was amused by me. She pushed me softly and said, "Go quickly. I'll tell you when the time comes."

Seeing that I couldn't get any words out of this girl, I realized that they had already discussed it long ago. However, it didn't seem like a good thing for them to unite and hide it from me just for the sake of a book. There was no way. It was indeed delayed for a long time. I could only take the black stones collected from the mysterious cave and hurry out to do the business. When I arrived at the yard, I vaguely saw their heads popping up above.

They are really afraid that I know something, but the more they hide things, the more curious I become, and the more I want to solve the mystery in advance. Even though we are a family, I don't want to just give in and give in to this guessing game. I will find the key clues to solve the case.

Soon, I took a few hyena guards with me back to the top of the city, where a temporary guesthouse had been built. It was a relatively large pavilion. After all, the rat people and mermaids were all over two meters tall. Although both of them were hunched over, which greatly reduced their altitude, a larger reception pavilion was still built out of courtesy to show respect for them.

When I got there, the Rat King was standing in the middle, with several other rats standing beside him. When they saw me coming, they all turned around. Although I was not welcomed at home and was kicked out of the room by my wives, I was quite tough here. How tough was I? He was wearing a wool turtleneck sweater, a modified army green uniform, and a big coat. His hair was also carefully done by Yunwen, cut with scissors, neat and tidy, and his beard was stubble. He was a tough guy.

There were a few short hyena people beside me, making me look tall and mighty. From a distance, I felt that my aura was no less than that of Chow Yun-fat. Seeing that those rat people were very respectful when they saw me, I felt secretly happy. No matter where I am, the sense of status of being above thousands of people is very satisfying after all.

After I arrived, the Rat King spoke a few words in the few Chinese words he knew, roughly saying that he wanted to take this back to study it. I did not agree because I knew that if it was swallowed, it would cause great changes, and I was afraid that the Rat People would be affected by this. He expressed regret and just took the black stone carefully, looking at it from left to right and up to down.

After they had seen enough, they were in a hurry to go back. I sent them out of the city and then went home. However, when I came back, I took the black stone and it seemed to be lighter than what I had just taken out. I don’t know if I weighed it wrong, but the shape, size and color did not change.

If it was a substitution, I should be able to feel the difference. Besides, it was the first time for the ratmen to see this black stone. It couldn't be a fake that had been prepared for substitution. Although it felt weird, I didn't think about it any further.

Besides, my mind is now full of thoughts about how to find out what Yunwen and the others are playing tricks on me. My main concern is still there, so I will just think about this for a while.

After letting the hyenas close the city gates, I hurried to the post station. The first solution I thought of was to secretly eavesdrop on their conversations when they weren't paying attention. Wouldn't that give me some clues? Even if I heard only a few words, I would know which direction their puzzle was going.

I hurried back as fast as I could, passing the paved road, the free market, and the residential area of ​​​​many hyena people, and soon arrived in front of the post station. I quietly opened the door and saw Sanfu looking at me in surprise in the stable. I hushed at it.

As expected, the girls were still talking without knowing it, and I have very good hearing. Even with the windows locked, I was able to hear everything clearly.

Yunwen said, "We must keep this matter a secret and solve it in secret. We must not make it public."

The other two agreed.

I was still listening when I heard Ling Chang say, "No, I smell him..."
