The man sat up suddenly.

Looking at the familiar room, breathing slightly faster.

He lowered his eyes and slapped his forehead: It turned out to be a dream.

After closing my eyes for a while, the masks in my dream reappeared hauntingly.

! !

He opened his eyes again, not daring to close them again.

At this moment, the words Su Changzhao said during the day came to mind -

"Gold cannot buy my happiness, as long as the master is happy."

"So if someone is kissed on the forehead, that person can never wash their face for the rest of their life?"

The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

The irritability and fear brought by the nightmare were all diluted.

His body reacted faster than his brain, so he put on some clothes and went out.

By the time he reacted, he had already arrived at where Su Changzhao lived.

“…………”

Why am I here?

He held his forehead and said: I seem to be confused from sleeping.

He put his hand down and looked at the closed door not far away, thinking that it was only a few hours later and she must still be sleeping.

but.

It seemed that just by standing there and watching, his mood would be much better.

Because on the other side of the door, there is someone he cares about.

But the next second.

When he heard the noise, he immediately hid behind the nearest pillar and looked out.

Then a familiar figure jumped lightly from the roof.

At first he thought it was some assassin who wanted to harm Su Changzhao, but who would have thought that the person he saw was Su Changzhao.

I saw that graceful figure looking around like a thief, and only pushed the door open after discovering that there was no one there.

Jiuchen: “…”

Why is she out so late at night?

Seeing that many people had gone in, he did not choose to go over to ask for clarification.

But after dawn, he clearly felt that Su Changzhao was deliberately distancing himself from him.

He couldn't understand the reason for her change of attitude and could only observe silently.

The next night, Su Changzhao went out again as expected.

Jiuchen originally wanted to follow her and find out why she went out every night.

Where did you go and who did you meet?

But after he left the mansion, he lost sight of her.

Then came the third night, the fourth night...

For three consecutive nights, he failed to follow.

“…”

What an amazing martial art!

So he could only think of giving up...but that was impossible.

On the fifth night, he ordered Su Changzhao to come over to keep watch for him, but in fact he wanted to plant a special tracking firefly Gu on her.

"Night watch?"

Su Changzhao thought back to when he was in the Royal Dragon Kingdom’s palace, he often kept watch for the dog emperor... bah, was actually keeping watch for Ah Heng.

How come Ah Heng in this world also has this habit?

She felt more and more that the man in front of her was more than a little like Ah Heng.

And on Jiuchen's side.

Seeing her reaction was a bit exaggerated, he couldn't help but ask in a gentle voice, "Don't want to?"

"Not really," Su Changzhao smiled, "It is my honor to be able to keep watch for my master."

Jiuchen: Oh, a girl with sweet words and a flattering appearance.

"That's good, go back and pack up and report to Wuque Pavilion."

"yes."

Su Changzhao came to Wuqiu Pavilion again.

Passing by the lotus pond that had tormented her for several days, the golden carps in the pond no longer hid under the lotus leaves in fear as they did when she first saw them.

When she passed by the pond, golden carps followed her all the way, as if trying to keep her, and gathered together where she had walked.

Seeing this, Su Changzhao smiled with his eyes curved.

These little carps are so cute.

But her joy didn't last long, and she couldn't laugh anymore.

Just because she came to the inner room, she found a small bed in front of Jiuchen's bed.

It would be better to say that it was the same as the Imperial Dragon Palace than to say that it was the same as Zong Xu’s mansion.

"As long as the long-term strategy is there, I can rest assured..."

"Long move..."

"Ayao..."

Perhaps because the sight of the object reminded him of someone, Su Changzhao couldn't help but become distracted.

Until, “Long Stroke.”

The person in my memory overlaps with the man in my sight.

Su Changzhao shouted for no reason, "Ah Heng."

Jiuchen saw that she was in a daze and was about to walk towards her, but when he heard her call his nickname, he suddenly stopped.

"What... did you call me?"

"!!" Su Changzhao suddenly came back to his senses, feeling very panicked, and hurriedly laughed, "I am calling you master."

“…”

"Master, your bed is so big. Let me help you make it up."

Su Changzhao ignored him and ran to the big bed behind him, happily shaking out the quilt for him.

"..." Jiuchen turned and looked at her.

He believed that he was not deaf, so he did not hear wrongly.

Su Changzhao did call him 'Ah Heng'.

If it were someone else, he would definitely feel that person was overstepping his authority.

But when Su Changzhao said this… a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

He walked over slowly and saw someone happily making his bed.

"Although my bed is very good, you can't have other ideas. I won't let you sleep on it."

"I..." Su Changzhao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

I can only curse in my heart: Who the hell wants to sleep with you? I have my own bed, okay? What do you want? Humph!

On his face, he maintained the humility that a servant should have, "Master, please forgive me. I am of lowly status, how dare I have such thoughts." He smiled.

As soon as she finished speaking, someone held her cheek.

When I was forced to look up, I met a pair of deep and long eyes.

"You do come from a humble background, but you are not lowly." Jiuchen corrected him with particular seriousness.

“……”Su Changzhao was stunned.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Jiuchen's palms were hot, but his fingertips were slightly cool. He just held his cheek like that.

There was a bed next to them, and a man and a woman were alone in the same room, and the atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous.

Noticing the movement of the other person's throat, she swallowed as well, then stepped back unnoticeably, thus avoiding the other person's hand.

He lowered his head and said, "Master, you are right. I will take note of it." He turned his head to look at the bed and said, "The bed is already made. Master, you can rest now."

Jiuchen looked at his empty hand, retracted it, put it behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "Yeah."

When you are done, open your arms.

Upon seeing this, Su Changzhao immediately realized that he had to help the other person undress, so he stepped forward and started... stripping him.

However, due to the cultural differences between Yulong and Yujiang, their clothing were different, and Su Changzhao became stumped as he continued to strip.

What kind of anti-human design is this clothing?

Is it like this? Hiss, that doesn't seem right, is it... like this?

I saw her gesturing and studying for a long time without taking off her coat.

Jiuchen suddenly pressed the fingertips of her two hands, and said helplessly in a gentle voice: "I'll do it myself."

"……yes."

Su Changzhao decisively withdrew his claws and stepped aside, then saw Jiuchen undressing slowly.

Although he knew that she was staring at him to learn the steps, Jiuchen still felt embarrassed as he was being watched while she was staring at him while he was taking off his clothes.

Bang, bang, bang.

My heartbeat quickened and I took off my clothes faster.

Finally, after taking off his outer clothes and handing them to Su Changzhao, he lay down on the bed.

He watched Su Changzhao hang up the clothes and then come over to tuck in the quilt for him.

There seemed to be an inexplicable attraction about her that always drew his attention.

Su Changzhao also noticed that he was looking at her, which was embarrassing, so she pretended not to notice.

After finishing all her work, she returned to her own bed.

After lying down, she glanced in the direction of Jiuchen and found that he had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, so she retracted her gaze and stared at the beams.

He suddenly called me to come and keep watch. Could it be that he discovered something?

Su Changzhao couldn't help but think.

Alas, after going in and out of Zong Xu’s residence for so many days, I still found nothing.

Where did that guy hide the contract doll?

Little did she know that while she was thinking about something, Jiuchen, who was sitting opposite her, turned his head silently and stared at her.

.

It's late at night again.

Su Changzhao planned to go out again.

But she found that the person sitting opposite her didn't seem to be asleep.

Coming again?

Thinking back to when Jiuchen was still Luo Xing, he had a problem. He would not sleep in the middle of the night and would poke the back of her hand with his little finger. It was important that he would poke her all night long.

Would it be the same tonight?

What's wrong!

The child’s words can be understood as being afraid of the dark and afraid of sleeping alone.

But when Jiuchen, a tall and strong man, also uses this trick, it feels a bit weird.

She continued to pretend to be asleep, but in fact she was keeping an eye on the other side, waiting for the other party's next move.

But after waiting for a long time, she got nothing except knowing that the other party was not asleep.

What the hell! No sleep, no doing anything? I'm already suffering from insomnia before I get old?

That was all she could think.

The stalemate lasted for two hours, and Su Changzhao was afraid that a red moon would suddenly appear.

She didn't have time to get to the teleportation point, so she had to get up quietly.

She glanced at the man opposite her and saw that he was clearly awake but pretending to be asleep.

In that case, she would pretend not to know that he was awake.

She got up from the bed with peace of mind and walked towards the door. She glanced towards the bed again and found that the other person was still pretending to sleep, so she left without any more stay.

Just after she left, the big ** man suddenly opened his eyes.

After Su Changzhao left quietly, Jiuchen also came out putting on his clothes, but this time he was not in a hurry at all.

After getting dressed, he took out an intricately carved golden bottle from his sleeve.

I opened the lid, and the next second, dots of green fluorescence overflowed from inside.

They are all fireflies.

After these male firefly Gu are released, they will naturally look for the female firefly Gu on Su Changzhao's body.

Jiuchen followed these fireflies and finally found Zong Xu's house.

Looking at the familiar gate, Jiuchen's eyes darkened.

She actually comes to see Zong Xu every night?

The hands at the sides gradually clenched into fists.

Since this was also where he grew up, he knew how to get in unnoticed even without climbing over the wall.

Although he didn't want to admit it, after entering, he went directly to the courtyard where Zong Xu lived.

On the way, he kept telling himself that there must be other reasons why Su Changzhao came here.

She is not necessarily looking for Zong Xu, so she may not be here with Zong Xu.

Can.

Why does she come here every night?

Apart from Zong Xu, he couldn't think of a second reason.

When he thought about how it was late at night and a woman came to another man's house, he really couldn't think of anything else except doing that kind of thing.

No, she is not that kind of person.

He didn't dare to think about it any further.

What is the truth? You can only know it by seeing it with your own eyes.

When he passed by, he wanted to sneak into Zong Xu's room to take a look.

But I saw a man sitting on the roof not far away, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his hand and looking at the moon with his chin in his hand.

It’s Su Changzhao!

Finally seeing the other person, and not in Zong Xu's room, Jiuchen was delighted and couldn't wait to go forward, but he opened his mouth and held back in time.

Because even though Su Changzhao was not with Zong Xu, her behavior was strange as she was sitting on the roof near Zong Xu's house.

There must be some reason he didn't know.

The leading fireflies flew towards Su Changzhao.

Su Changzhao was bored when he suddenly saw a group of fireflies flying towards him.

It circles around my body and doesn't go away for a long time.

She couldn't help but find it interesting, so she picked up the dogtail grass in her hand and started playing with the fireflies.

"Huh? Where did the fireflies come from? Wow, they are so beautiful!"

She smiled and waved the foxtail grass in her hand, but she found that the fireflies were very agile and not easy to hit.

But what in the world could stump her?

I saw her gathering her internal energy into the dogtail grass, and an invisible air pressure wrapped the grass.

She just waved it a few times casually, and the fireflies in the air flew along irresistibly.

When Su Changzhao moved to the left, they moved to the left; when Su Changzhao moved upward, they moved upward.

"Haha...it's very simple." She said with a little pride.

Jiuchen, who had been watching her from below, was slightly stunned.

She... can actually control Gu?

Generally speaking, the one who can control the poisonous insect must be the one who raises it.

There is one exception, and that is people with extremely profound skills can force the poisonous insect to obey orders.

Obviously, Su Changzhao belongs to the latter.

How could she have such profound inner strength at such a young age?

Looking at Su Changzhao's beautiful face, Jiuchen seemed to have thought of something.

"Snow Country? Is she...from the Snow Country?"

At this time.

The female firefly Gu on Su Changzhao's body flew out.

Female fireflies are red.

"There are also red fireflies?" Su Changzhao was surprised.

Due to a moment of distraction, the internal force on the dogtail grass dissipated, and the male firefly insects immediately followed the red female firefly insects.

Su Changzhao originally wanted to keep them, but was stunned by the sight of a group of fireflies flying towards the moon.

“So beautiful~”

He held his chin up to his hand and said leisurely, "When I find a contracted partner, I will be as free as you guys."

Jiuchen below was attracted by the three words "contract couple".

Contract doll? He seemed to have heard of it somewhere.

After thinking carefully, he finally remembered.

By the way, each doll seems to be infected with a kind of Gu, the male Gu is on the doll, and the female Gu is on a small doll.

Just fiddle with the doll and the real person will react in the same way.

But if the puppet is disobedient and wants to resist, the master can use the contracted puppet infected with the mother poison to torture the puppet.

It is said that when the male poisonous insect attacks, few people can survive.

In the end, you can only obey orders.

It turned out that she came to Zong Xu in order to find an opportunity to get the contracted doll back.

Jiuchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after leaving there, he was not very happy.

Because Su Changzhao has been with him for some time, but he never mentioned a word about the contract doll. Doesn't this show that he clearly doesn't trust him?

.

The next day.

Su Changzhao still came back before dawn to take a nap.

After breakfast in the morning, she followed Jiuchen to the shrine again.

On the road, two people were sitting in the car.

Jiuchen asked suddenly, "Do you have anything you want to tell me?"

As long as you say it, I will help you get the contract doll back.

"???" Su Changzhao stared into his eager eyes, not knowing what he was hinting at, and only said, "No, what's wrong, Master?"

"..." Jiuchen's face sank, and he turned his head to look outside the car, "Nothing."

Su Changzhao didn't take it seriously and didn't think much about it.

When arriving at the shrine and getting off the car, Jiuchen asked the same question again.

"You really don't have anything to say? For example...is there something that can't be solved?"

Su Changzhao didn't react for a moment, and shook his head, "No, Master, what do you want to say?"

"nothing."

Seeing that the other party seemed angry, Su Changzhao was puzzled: "..."

What's going on?

Why is he acting so weird today?
