Chapter 21 Zhou Fu's index finger gently touched her neck
After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Hei to refute, Xu Xingxing pulled him out of the lobby at an extremely fast speed, and did not let go of his hand until they were out of the Qi Mansion.
Xiao Hei knew that she didn't want him to embarrass her in public. Although he had initially intended to make some sarcastic remarks, now seeing her slightly guilty look, he felt like laughing for no reason. He suppressed the smile that was about to overflow from his chest, but in the end, he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth: "Why are you running so fast?"
"Hehe," Xu Xingxing plucked up her courage when she saw that Xiao Hei's smile was not as angry as she had imagined. "Isn't this just to complete the mission quickly and eliminate this evil for the people?"
"Oh?" Xiao Hei tilted his head slightly, "Didn't you say you wanted to take me for a walk?"
"Haha, doesn't this make me look more handsome? You are so powerful, and I am walking you around? You are more like walking me around!" Xu Xingxing said sincerely.
"That,"
Xiao Hei leaned forward slightly, and gently touched her neck with his index finger. There was a hint of temptation in his eyes. He opened his red lips slightly, and his voice as clear as jade washed through her ears.
"Would you please put this bell around your neck?"
Snowflakes gently fell, dotted in his hair and lightly hung on his eyelashes. The bells rested quietly on his neck, covered with a layer of mist due to the cold outside.
His red lips curled up slightly. Although his words were clearly threatening, there was no trace of sarcasm in his words as before. His eyes, which used to be extremely dark and lifeless, seemed to hide a hint of smile.
She forgot what to do for a moment, and looked at the ghostly Xiao Hei in front of her. She felt her heart beating like thunder. His fingers were cold, and the skin he touched was extremely cold. Her throat felt inexplicably hot, and she suddenly felt very thirsty, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Xiao Hei's fingertips felt the slight movement of her throat, and her eyelids trembled. His chest began to feel hot, and seeing her dazed look, he felt a stronger desire to tease her.
His fingers unexpectedly slid across the woman's neck before he could think, and then gently slid over the back of her neck. His fingertips pinched her neck unconsciously. He leaned over to look at her at eye level, then deliberately moved closer, looking at her and saying:
"Why? Don't want to?"
If her heart was beating like thunder just now, then now she felt like she was in a steamer. Her face turned red in an instant and her whole body was hot. She looked at Xiao Hei in front of her and felt breathless for a moment.
She didn't know what to do, and even forgot to step back until the back of her neck was pinched. She seemed to wake up from her dream, and turned into an ostrich, covering her face and squatting down.
The night was dark, the snow fell silently, and it seemed as if the only thing left in the world was her heartbeat. Her mind was in a mess, and the complaints in her heart were like an out-of-control barrage of comments flashing through her head.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What is Xiao Hei doing? !
But he is so beautiful!!
You are the master! You are not tempted by the beauty of others! You are not tempted by the beauty of others!
Is it possible for the master and his natal spirit beast? !
Get out of there!!! Completing the mission is the most important thing!!!
The figure in front of Xiao Hei suddenly disappeared. He was stunned for a moment. His fingers, which had just been infected with body temperature, bent slightly due to the sudden chill. He saw that the woman was so embarrassed that she squatted down and curled up like a quail. The joy in his heart was even greater, and he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
He also squatted down, and his hearty laughter spread freely in the deserted street.
Xu Xingxing looked up and saw Xiao Hei's smile. She had never seen him smile so happily before, and for a moment she felt a little dazed. His smile was bright and clear, completely different from his usual indifferent expression. It made her think of the bright sunshine in spring on this cold and snowy night.
But if she still didn't know that he was teasing her on purpose, she would be stupid, so she politely admired his smile for two seconds, then grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and stuffed it into his collar at a very fast speed, then ran away.
Freeze to death, you idiot!
Xiao Hei stood there in a daze, feeling both angry and amused at the same time as he watched the woman running away. He wanted to chase after her but felt that was too childish. The snow on his collar soaked his clothes and slid down his neck. It was obviously very cold, but he had no intention of using his magic power to dry it.
He stood up and followed, and said calmly behind him: "Do you know how to get to Zhou Mansion?"
Xu Xingxing's steps suddenly stopped, and he turned around to look at Xiao Hei's half-smiley face, and the barrage of thoughts in his mind started working again:
Damn, she even forgot to ask such an important question...
Would it be embarrassing to go back now?
She left with a very cool remark!!
Go back and ask again? Oh my god, just thinking about it makes me feel so embarrassed...
Why are you pretending to be so cool when you have nothing to do... Please be low-key in the future, okay!
She looked back at the Qi Mansion not far away and squatted down again in worry. What happened to Rong Jun just now made her too angry and shocked, and she instantly wanted to get to the bottom of it. Qi Rongli happened to ask her again, and she threw out a word and hurried out.
I was acting subconsciously, so I apologize to Rongjun...
She thought of Rongjun's appearance, and her heart became heavy again.
What does face matter? What matters is the matter.
She made up her mind to go back, and saw Xiao Hei already standing in front of her. Looking up, she saw his extremely gloating eyes. She stood up resignedly and said, "Wait, I'll go ask."
She had just taken two steps when she saw Xiao Hei walking in the opposite direction. She was curious: "Where are you going?"
"Zhou Mansion."
Xiao Hei didn't look back, but the words he spoke were full of laughter.
*
The two men stood in front of a door. The vermilion gate looked majestic in the snow, with two stone lions guarding both sides. The gold-painted plaque with the words "Zhou Fu" on it was extraordinary.
Xu Xingxing wondered: "How do you know?"
"I passed by the village before."
Xiao Hei glanced at her and said, "It's so obvious, how come you didn't see it?"
It's quite obvious...this is the richest house on this long street.
"…I'm sorry, I was so single-minded in my walking."
Afraid that Xiao Hei would start taunting her again, she quickly changed the subject, "We're climbing the wall. Today we're just exploring the route. We don't want to alert the enemy right away."
Xiao Hei remained silent.
As soon as I entered the Zhou Mansion, a warm breeze blew, and the courtyard was as warm as spring, just like the Qi Mansion.
She was just thinking that there was only one mother bead for avoiding the cold, when she looked up and saw a seed bead floating not far above the courtyard.
Well, winning by quantity is also possible.
After walking a few steps forward, her body was suddenly pulled down by Xiao Hei and hid behind a bush. She was quite sensitive and immediately noticed that someone was walking towards her not far away.
There were maids lined up in two neat rows.
The leading maid said, "Be smart for a moment! Madam is in a bad mood. If you make her unhappy, you will be in big trouble!"
The maid at the back nodded in agreement, and the team moved forward at a leisurely pace.
Xu Xingxing and Xiao Hei looked at each other and followed.
After walking through several corridors, they finally stopped in front of an archway. The leading maid entered the courtyard alone, while Xu Xingxing and Xiao Hei entered the courtyard from another place.
The courtyard walls are surrounded by artificial rocks and exotic flowers and plants, and in the center is a huge lake with a long covered bridge leading to the house in the center of the lake.
The houses are all built with jade and reinforced with magic. Although they look gorgeous and holy, for some reason, they always make people feel eerie.
The maid walked along the long bridge to the door and knocked on it: "Madam, it's time to cleanse yourself."
The sound of something smashing could be heard from inside the house. The voice inside was so hoarse that it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. The person screamed, "Get out! Get out! Let Zhou Wuxia come to see me! Why doesn't he dare to come to see me now!?"
"Madam, please don't be so stubborn. The master will stay in your room tonight."
"Let him come! Let him come now! Let him kill me!!"
The maid ignored the words of the person in the house, walked back to the shore along the long bridge, waved to the maid at the archway, and then she walked into the lake with the maids again.
Xu Xingxing watched them walk towards the house. This time the maid did not knock on the door. The jade door slowly opened in front of her and closed again after they entered. The surroundings were silent, without even the sound of water.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened again. The maid in the lead walked out, crossed the corridor bridge, and left the yard.
Xu Xingxing looked at Xiao Hei and asked softly, "Where are the others?"
Xiao Hei also frowned slightly and shook his head. The breath of that group of people suddenly became weaker since they entered the room, and now he couldn't detect any of them at all.
"Follow the maid."
Xiao Hei nodded, and they followed together.
The maid hurriedly walked towards the inner house, and suddenly she felt a barrier in front of her that covered the entire inner courtyard. The maid chanted a spell, and saw the barrier unfold a door that was wide enough for one person to enter and exit. After the maid entered, the door closed automatically.
Xu Xingxing walked in and saw that the barrier in front of him was like a layer of transparent foam. When he tapped it with his finger, he could see layers of white light spreading out.
"Break it?"
It wasn't a difficult task for her, "but the person who created this barrier would definitely know about it immediately, and that would alert the enemy."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple,"
Xiao Hei looked at the barrier and said, "If you force your way through, the key items inside will probably be destroyed at the same time."
"real?"
Xu Xingxing was skeptical, "How do you know?"
"Believe it or not."
Xiao Hei was also very surprised. Why could he know the purpose of this barrier just by seeing it?
While they were struggling, the barrier started to move again. The two of them quickly hid themselves and saw a man walking out of the barrier. He was wearing a gorgeous robe, black hair and a jade crown.
With a happy look on his face, he walked towards the direction where the maid had just come from.
Xu Xingxing and Xiao Hei followed in tacit understanding.
As expected, the man's goal was indeed the jade house.
If she guessed correctly, this man should be Zhou Wuxia.
He walked with joy, and when he reached the lake he couldn't wait to run.
Before the Jade Gate in front of him was fully opened, he slipped into the room.
The sound of broken porcelain and a woman's crying and cursing could be heard again from inside, but for some reason, the sound became muffled and difficult to hear clearly.
Perhaps this jade house had activated some soundproofing feature, so even though she was at the Divine Transformation Realm, she couldn't hear anything clearly.
Xu Xingxing thought Xiao Hei's hearing should be better, so he asked the person next to him, "What did they say?"
"The woman was cursing Zhou Wuxia, saying he was unethical, cruel, disregarding etiquette and laws, and a beast in human form. However," Xiao Hei glanced at her, "the woman's voice wasn't as hoarse as it was just now."
Xu Xingxing frowned. "It should be related to those mysteriously missing maids. Did they mention what happened just now?"
Xiao Hei shook his head.
Suddenly, a man's cry of surprise was heard from the room. Xiao Hei explained, "Zhou Wuxia was hit, and he's using the self-torture tactic."
She nodded, and after a long time, the noise in the room gradually died down, with only one or two vague sounds and words coming out occasionally.
Xu Xingxing noticed Xiao Hei's expression suddenly changed, and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What did they say?"
“…”
Xiao Hei listened to the charming voices in the room and looked at the innocent look of the woman beside him. He felt that the moans of pleasure and pain in the room were infinitely magnified in his ears, making him irritated for no reason.
"Listen for yourself."
Xu Xingxing was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly got angry. She cursed him inwardly for his bad temper and said unconvincedly:
"Just listen to it yourself. See how much I cherish you."
After saying this, she spread her hands into a fan shape beside her ears, closed her eyes and listened carefully. The jade house had good sound insulation, and even with such careful listening, she could only hear low crying. She opened her eyes and tried to communicate again.
"Is that woman crying?"
Xiao Hei: ...
Seeing that he seemed even angrier, Xu Xingxing felt puzzled and prepared to get closer to take a look.
Just as she was about to get up, there was suddenly no sound in the room. She thought someone was about to come out, so she squatted back down.
After waiting for another cup of tea, the Jade Gate suddenly opened and a person slowly walked out of the room.
It's a woman.
The woman was dressed in gauze, her long hair loose, her hands and feet bound with iron chains that led into the pitch-black room. She could only stop at the door, her expression mournful, gazing at the dark night sky, her whole body emitting a sadness that was impossible to ignore.
The moment Xu Xingxing saw the woman, her body froze in place, and she felt an immense sense of absurdity in her heart, which made her skin crawl.
Rongjun?
