Chapter 11 Meet twice in one day
Murong said, "Sir, someone is eavesdropping."
Wu Ci Yan turned around and saw the door was half-open. A fiery red figure was swaying at the door, staring at him without moving.
This is not "eavesdropping" at all, this is clearly listening openly.
When Wen Lanzhi heard that her savior had come to the teahouse, she rushed over without even changing into her dance costume. Granny Wang from the restaurant even gave her an invisibility potion so she could hide at the door and take a peek.
Hehehe, my savior is so handsome! His skin is so white and luminous, without a single blemish, just like snake scales! The hair on the left side of his eyes falls to the tip of his nose, and the hair on the back is half tied up with a white headband, and the other half is loose at the back.
He turned around, with a hint of anger in his narrow and heroic eyes. He stood up and walked towards this side.
Closer and closer, closer and closer...
Ahhhhhh!
Wen Lanzhi covered her pounding heart and watched the corners of his lips suddenly turn up.
He stood in front of her, raising his hand that was hanging on his right side.
Wen Lanzhi's heart almost stopped. She looked in the direction of his hand and saw that his bony hand pulled out a dagger from his waist and placed it across her neck.
Ahhhhh! Even drawing a sword looks so cool.
Murong said, "Sir, she shouldn't be...sent from heaven."
Wu Ciyan said, "I see."
Ah? Who isn't sent from heaven?
Wen Lanzhi was stunned. Me?
The knife moved closer to Wen Lanzhi's neck.
Wen Lanzhi felt a chill on her neck. She lowered her head and saw the blade reflecting her big red eyes.
She raised her hand, stroked the back of the knife, and pressed it gently, "Benefactor, can you see me?"
My benefactor is so powerful that no invisibility potion can escape his eyes.
Wu Ciyan pointed to his right eye and asked, "What is this?"
Wen Lanzhi quickly answered: "Eyes!"
Wu Ci Yan said "hmm" and stopped talking.
Wen Lanzhi thought for a moment. Because it had not been used for a long time, it had become rusty, and she had to move her eyeballs when turning it.
She finally understood what Wu Ciyan was talking about and quickly explained, "No, I have the invisibility potion!"
Wu Ciyan said, "You have a pretty good relationship with the guy selling fake medicine."
Wen Lanzhi scratched her head embarrassedly, "Hey, she's my boss."
Wu Ciyan said, "Oh, amazing."
Wen Lanzhi lowered her head, carefully looked at the knife pointing at her, and asked curiously, "Benefactor, why are you pointing the back of the knife towards me? Shouldn't you point the blade towards me when you kill someone?"
Murong: "...Miss, are you...looking for death?"
Wu Ci Yan put away the knife. He remembered this monster, the one who danced in the restaurant yesterday.
Wu Ci Yan turned around and went back to the room. Wen Lanzhi followed closely and also walked towards the room, but was stopped by Murong who raised her hand.
Murong said, "Miss, we have something to discuss now. If you're looking for the young master, please come back another day."
Wen Lanzhi asked impatiently, "When is it?"
Murong: "Uh..." It was just a polite remark.
She didn't say anything, went into the room and closed the door.
No matter how hard Ren Wenlanzhi knocked, the door wouldn't open.
Wen Lanzhi knocked on the door and shouted, "Benefactor, you saved me before, do you remember?"
"Six years ago, when you were fighting that monster, I happened to be in the pot!"
"Don't you remember? You were the one who got me out before they set the fire."
"Benefactor! Benefactor!"
No one answered her.
Suddenly, the door was slammed open.
"Ouch!" She didn't brake in time and fell out, hitting her head hard on the corner of the table.
She raised her head and saw a low table, two teacups, two futons, a window, and her in the room.
She opened the window and saw a bustling street market.
The man and woman just now disappeared without a trace.
She walked out of the teahouse dejectedly. Dr. Tea often saw her. He had just heard her shouting upstairs and asked with a smile, "How is it? Did your benefactor pay attention to you?"
Wen Lanzhi shook her head.
"Hehe." Dr. Tea continued to eat melon seeds without saying anything.
Six years ago, Wu Ci Yan, the newly appointed Demon King, defeated the guardian god of the demon world and became famous. Everyone in the demon world knew him.
Logically speaking, the guardian deity is supposed to protect the peace of a region, and anyone who drives the guardian deity away should be a criminal. However, the guardian deities of the demon world are different. They are priests specially placed there by the gods, fearing that the demon world will cause trouble. They are called guardian deities, but in reality, they are just spies.
Every day, people are in a state of panic, and any casual words will be punished by heaven, the reason being that they have the idea of "cholera in the mortal world." In this situation, Wu Ciyan single-handedly saves the world of monsters from danger and disaster, and is naturally a great hero.
For some unknown reason, this great hero suddenly came to visit their inconspicuous street market. Although the dragon's head could not be seen, if one was lucky, one could still see a little bit of the dragon's body, so many families on the street opened their windows, hoping to catch a glimpse of the "dragon's body".
Wen Lanzhi said that Wu Ci Yan was her savior. No one believed her, but no one exposed her either. The little girl just wanted to see a hero, so what?
Unexpectedly, the little girl actually took this seriously and gave one or two taels of silver to the tea doctor who sat at the door all day, and told him to tell her if he saw Wu Ci Yan passing by.
Whenever Dr. Tea saw something, he would tell her about it. Sometimes he really saw it, sometimes he just pretended to see it. Every time he said he saw something, Wen Lanzhi would quickly run after him. When they got there, Dr. Tea would slap his forehead and say, "Oh, look at me! I can't keep anyone here again."
Although she failed to keep the person, Wen Lanzhi still gave him one or two taels of silver out of gratitude.
He used this trick to cheat a lot of money from Wen Lanzhi.
Everyone around knew it, except Wen Lanzhi.
Wen Lanzhi handed him a tael of silver as usual.
Dr. Tea was perhaps a little embarrassed and asked her a few more words: "Is he gone?"
Wen Lanzhi nodded gloomily.
Dr. Tea said, "Oh, maybe he's wandering around. Go take a look around, maybe you can find him."
Wen Lanzhi's eyes lit up, and she felt that what Dr. Tea said made sense. He had just left, so he definitely wouldn't have gone far. Maybe he was sitting in a store.
She ran from the North Market to the South Market, from the West Market to the East Market, looked into every store, and also took care of the business of a few little monsters. She bought some things and was exhausted and sweating, but she got nothing.
She carried her things and walked back breathlessly. It was almost dark.
I don’t know when I will meet my benefactor again.
As soon as she walked into the back door of the restaurant, Granny Wang grabbed her ear and said, "Where have you been, you bastard? I was kind enough to give you half a day off, and you haven't come back yet?"
Wen Lanzhi said, "Didn't Granny Wang tell me to get in touch with my benefactor more often? I don't know when I'll meet him again."
Granny Wang said angrily, "I asked you to bring him to the restaurant. Did you bring him?"
Wen Lanzhi muttered, "No, he ran away."
Granny Wang exerted force on her hands. "Hey! It's no use! Ever since you came under my wing six years ago, I've been telling you that you wouldn't amount to anything in the future! Now the opportunity is right in front of you! And you still don't seize it! It really piss me off to death."
Wen Lanzhi was originally sold here. Granny Wang kept her because she was beautiful, even more beautiful than the courtesan next door. The courtesan next door had only been bought for twenty taels of silver, but Granny Wang paid twenty-three taels for her! But this bunny's dance was so ugly, not only did it twist stiffly, but it also couldn't keep up with the rhythm, which was really infuriating.
This isn't a brothel. If you can't dance well, you'll just have to go and pick up customers. If you can't dance well and can't get any tips from customers, you'll end up dead.
Fortunately, Wen Lanzhi had a pretty face, so people were willing to look at her. Granny Wang reluctantly continued to give her a bed to sleep in. Now, there was finally an opportunity to sell her, and after that, both of them would be relieved. But this bastard was so disappointing that he let the duck that was in his mouth fly away.
Wen Lanzhi argued cunningly: "I, I, I, I can't just go up and ask him to marry me."
Granny Wang said, "Aren't you just going there to 'repay a favor'? If you don't speak frankly, what are you waiting for? If he marries someone else, I wonder how you'll ever repay this 'favor'."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "Repaying a favor means getting married?"
Granny Wang asked, "What else do you want? Isn't this your goal?"
A maid came over and said, "Grandma Wang, someone wants to see Miss Wen."
"It's him again." Granny Wang let go of Wen Lanzhi's ear. "Shameless! He wants to take advantage of such a small amount of money. What do you think of the girls in our family? I'm going to meet him!"
Wen Lanzhi knew who the "he" that Grandma Wang was talking about was.
It was that vixen who had come to the restaurant and seen her dancing before and had fallen in love with her at first sight. She had privately approached Granny Wang many times, hoping to buy Wen Lanzhi, but Granny Wang had always refused. She ran a restaurant, not a brothel. If this set a precedent, everyone would come to buy her girls, and if they were all sold out, who would attract customers to her restaurant?
Unless that person can offer a price that no one else can afford.
When he came the day before yesterday, Granny Wang had already told him clearly that he felt a girl was not worth so much money. The two of them had already broken up the talks, so he didn't know why she came this time.
Granny Wang glared at her and said, "Stay here! I'll deal with you when I get home tonight."
Wen Lanzhi rubbed her ear, which felt like it was about to be pinched off, and stood there not daring to move.
Granny Wang strode to the tea room at the back, pulled aside the curtain, and said unhappily, "Miss Wen is ill. If you want to see her, you must..."
She was stunned.
"Oh, it's Master Wu!" She cursed the maid who delivered the message in her heart. She didn't convey the message clearly. "You want to see Miss Wen. Please wait a moment. I will go and call her for you."
"It's not a big deal." Wu Ciyan was about to get up. "Since Miss Wen is ill, we can come back another day."
"No, no, no," Granny Wang said quickly, "Ahem... these past few days, there's a shameless guy who's been harassing our girls. The maid didn't explain clearly just now, so I thought he was here again and was about to... ahem, let me talk to the young master. Chen Wan, go get Miss Wen for me."
"Yes." said the maid at the door.
Granny Wang sat down and said a few words. Seeing that Wu Ci Yan didn't pay much attention to her, she turned to look at Miss Murong next to her.
Wu Ci Yan heard footsteps, looked up and looked towards the door.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of the curtain being lifted, and a girl in red clothes walked in.
Wu Ciyan raised his eyebrows and stopped what he was doing.
It's her again.
