Tu Nian and his group slept uncomfortably in the Demon Emperor's Palace. The next day, Yuwen Che came early in the morning, took away their bounty orders, and treated everyone to a sumptuous breakfast.
According to him, Yuwen Yiyi's birthday is in three days, and Tu Nian and his group only need to stay in the Demon Emperor Palace until the birthday banquet is over and then they can leave.
During the banquet, Tu Nian tried to ask the second prince some questions, but even after talking about three generations of ancestors, he still couldn't find out why they had to attend Yuwen Yiyi's birthday banquet.
In order to appease them, Yuwen Che took the initiative to say that in addition to them, there were also some neutral sects and famous independent cultivators who would come, so they should not be too reserved because of their identities.
They got just a few of the basics out of him during a meal, and for the next three days, Yuwen Che didn't bother them again. He did send someone over once, bringing all sorts of items unique to Dongzhenxu, as well as some... human goods like arms, legs, and heads, all wrapped in the brown paper of the bounty order.
Tu Nian and several senior brothers checked one by one, and none of them were wrong, and some even exceeded the task. Seeing that Yu Wen Che really did what he said, everyone no longer rushed to find out why, or thought about slipping away and returning to the sect.
After all, they were short-changed. They were expected to do their best to fulfill the bounty, and since it was difficult to use spiritual energy in the Dongzhen Ruins, they might not be able to complete it so beautifully in three days. Besides, aside from the travel restrictions, Tu Nian and his companions had been treated like royalty these past few days. They ate well, slept well, and could even chat with Mei Nu when they felt bored. It was simply too comfortable.
The only problem lies with Yuqing and the other one.
Somehow, Yuwen Che finished paying off all the bounties on Jixue's side in just one day, but Yuqing's wind raccoon was still not delivered. Su Youzhi asked Yuwen Che several times, but the answer he got was just a short sentence: This beast is still useful, and it will be presented to you after the birthday banquet.
Such an ambiguous response made Su Youzhi unable to sleep day and night. He wanted to ask Yuwen Che face to face but he was not available to see him. So Nizi panicked and started looking for someone to complain to.
Luo Qinghe dotes on her, but he is essentially the same type of person as Jin Nanfeng and is not good at coaxing women, so this burden falls on Bo Qiu, who is used by Tu Nian as a beauty trap.
Su Youzhi was looking for warmth day and night, which seriously affected Bo Qiu's rest. The most outrageous thing was that after a meal, he was holding Tu Nian's wrist to nourish himself. He had only taken two sips when the girl called out from outside the door and came in without waiting for anyone's consent. She grabbed Bo Qiu and kept nagging him for a long time, which annoyed Tu Nian so much that he went to stay in the next room. As a result, he didn't get to drink the blood that day and was extremely unsatisfied.
The most important thing is that this little brat is so annoying, but he has to coax him. The reason is that Tu Nian, with bad intentions, is using him to catch big fish.
The more he coaxed her, the more frequently Su Youzhi came to him. He also went from listening to three or five sentences at a time to having to listen to the whimpering of this young girl all the time.
He was almost tired of hearing all those pretentiousness and coquettishness. No matter how many times he complained, he only got Tu Nian to say "Persistence is victory". In addition, Tu Nian threatened to support him, so Bo Qiu had no choice but to endure it and managed to get through the three days.
Finally, on the last day, after being once again hit by Su Youzhi's emotional garbage and feeling dizzy, Bo Qiu sent this reluctant person out the door, then walked to the bed with a drooping face and buried his head in the bed.
He didn't want to quarrel with Tu Nian anymore. He knew he couldn't bear such terrible consequences a second time.
It's so torturous, really.
It was quiet for a while, and after a while, there was a creaky sound of the door being pushed open in the house.
"She's gone?"
"Um."
Bo Qiu buried his head and responded to her sullenly.
Tu Nian quietly closed the door and looked at him lying lifeless on the bed. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. But when she came over and sat down beside his bed, she saw that he was clearly a fox, but he behaved like a dead fish. She couldn't help but laugh.
Bo Qiuyuan was waiting for her to coax him, but after a while, he only heard suppressed laughter. He was immediately furious and turned over to pull her over, "You still have the mood to laugh?"
Tu Nian was pulled by him so that half of his body fell on him and he almost lost his balance.
However, she quickly adjusted her center of gravity, and looked at Bo Qiu with a frown, saying in a mischievous tone, "Isn't it good to have a little girl like you?"
To be honest, Su Youzhi is extremely outstanding and can definitely be called a beauty. Not only is she more than enough to match Bo Qiu's face, but she can also share his beauty. If we put aside the background of his character and just look at his appearance, if we really pair these two together, they are a perfect match.
But Bo Qiu obviously didn't think so.
If I had to explain it, it's probably because he values temperament more than appearance, like... the kind that makes him hate someone to the core, and it would be so interesting if the two of them could start fighting over a disagreement.
Seeing Tu Nian's teasing expression, Bo Qiu became a little angry. He grabbed the back of her collar and pulled it up so that her annoying face could be closer to him.
He didn't say anything, but Tu Nian could clearly see the dissatisfaction that was almost overflowing from those resentful fox eyes.
Having gotten the upper hand, she couldn't play nice any longer, so she quickly found a way out for herself and used her secret skill of soothing furry animals: stroking the fur, to put out the fuse that Bo Qiu had just lit.
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days," she said.
Closing his eyes in relaxation, Bo Qiu said lazily, "Don't ever let me have something like this happen again."
A new trick may work for you everywhere, but it is difficult to use it a second time for the same target.
Tu Nian thought so in his heart, but of course he was afraid that Bo Qiu was narrow-minded, so he didn't dare to say it out loud. He was secretly glad that this old fox had not learned any magical skills like mind reading.
The next morning, Tu Nian's sweet dream was disturbed by a faint knock on the door. One advantage of Bo Qiu, this fox, is that he can sleep soundly. It was not until Tu Nian opened the door, carried the things at the door back to the room, and piled them all on his bed that he was awakened by the pressure on his body that could not be ignored.
Glancing at the pile of fabric covering his body, he yawned sleepily, "What is this?"
Tu Nian was also not in a very clear state. He fiddled with the clothes with his eyes half-closed and half-open. It took him a while to recognize that these seemed to be dress styles.
Suddenly she understood, and she said with a smile, "They think I'm too shabby, so they want me to change my clothes."
But the problem is that when she looked at the two dresses, she always felt that the women's suit seemed much simpler than the men's.
