Chapter 40

After sending Miss Sheng to the shop owned by Sheng's company, everyone received their reward and left one after another.

Although Qiu Muli was not commissioned by the Sheng family to go to the mountain village to rescue people like those people, but now that the young lady has been rescued and the bandits have been sent to the yamen, the Sheng family is very happy and naturally will not be stingy with money. Therefore, Qiu Muli also received a reward for suppressing the bandits and saving people.

"The Sheng family is so generous. Brother, we can finally have something good to eat!" Li Qingruo weighed the heavy wallet in her hand and looked at Ji Xianyi with excitement.

Qiu Muli, who had received the bounty together, couldn't help but chuckle after hearing what Li Qingruo said. Seeing the two of them looking at him, Qiu Muli blinked and said, "Don't tell me that Taibai Sword Sect doesn't give its disciples a monthly salary?"

Li Qingruo's face instantly turned red, her eyes wandering around, her voice as quiet as a mosquito, "I accidentally lost my wallet when I was fighting with someone."

Before she finished speaking, her stomach made a gurgling sound. When she was tied up on the mountain yesterday, the bandits deliberately starved her to prevent her from escaping. Therefore, until now she had only drunk a few sips of water in the morning and had not eaten. Now that the matter was over, her body naturally began to protest.

"It's getting late, why don't you find an inn to rest and have a meal? Don't get too hungry."

The hunger in Li Qingruo's stomach was impossible to ignore. Looking at her red face, Qiu Muli was afraid that the girl in front of him would be cooked.

Seeing that his junior sister was eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, Ji Xianyi grabbed her collar and immediately decided to rush to the inn.

"Sir... Sir."

The inn's waiter took the initiative to greet the guest when he saw him come in. However, after seeing Qiu Muli's face, he became embarrassed and even stuttered when speaking.

Li Qingruo, whose fate was strangled by the neck, had long since recovered from her "slightly" shy state. Now, looking at the quiet inn lobby and the stuttering running track, she couldn't help but sigh that the Jianghu Beauty List might have a big change.

Ji Xian took a step forward and blocked half of Qiu Muli's body, and the sharp edge of the sword in his hand was revealed.

"Three upper rooms."

"Okay...Okay."

The sword energy from Ji Xianyi immediately brought the inn waiter back to his senses. He swallowed unconsciously and broke out in a cold sweat on his back. It was obvious that he had realized that these people were not people he could afford to offend.

Qiu Muli was extremely sensitive to other people's gazes. Although there was pure admiration in these people's gazes, there were also dark and greedy gazes.

Ji Xianyi's aura made these gazes retreat a lot. Qiu Muli curled his lips, touched the green snake under his sleeve, and said nothing.

The three of them took the key, and before entering the room, Ji Xianyi looked at Qiu Muli and said, "My junior sister and I will leave tomorrow, and Miss A-li will be alone outside. Although the green snake is spiritual, its human heart is treacherous, so it is better to be careful in everything."

Qiu Muli knew that Ji Xianyi had good intentions. Seeing his arrogant look, he raised his lips and said softly, "In that case, why don't we go together? After all, people are treacherous. Master Ji, please protect me."

Li Qingruo was still considering what to eat and didn't notice the undercurrent between the two people beside her. The two talked so much, but the only thing that came to her mind was the word "travelers".

"What? Sister Ali is going to join us? Is it okay? We don't even know where Sister Ali is going?"

With a beautiful sister accompanying her on the road, Li Qingruo naturally would not refuse. She asked all her questions in one go.

Qiu Muli had forgotten that there was a fool next to him, but when it came to where he was going, he didn't know.

"Where to go..." Qiu Muli softly repeated Li Qingruo's words, "The world is so big, there will always be a place for me to stay."

"Sister A-li..."

Li Qingruo was unable to hear what Qingqiu Muli said. She just felt that Sister A-Li seemed very far away from her at that moment, like a kite high in the sky, which made her subconsciously want to grab the other end of the string.

"It's just a joke. The road ahead is long, and I'll see you in the future, young heroes." After saying that, Qiu Muli turned around and went into the room.

The two people who were left looked at each other, and Li Qingruo asked uncertainly: "Brother, did I say something wrong?"

Ji Xianyi shook his head slightly. He patted his junior sister's head like he was patting a watermelon, "Don't think too much. Watermelons that are too ripe will go bad easily."

Li Qingruo covered her head and said unhappily, "Don't think you can pat my head just because you are handsome." Obviously, she ignored those weird words about watermelon.

Ji Xianyi was also used to his junior sister's erratic personality, so he said calmly, "Are you not hungry anymore?"

Li Qingruo immediately stood up straight, raised one hand and said, "I want to eat roast chicken."

"Okay." Ji Xian waved his hand and walked towards the room.

Looking at her senior brother's back, Li Qingruo curled her lips and muttered softly, "What a waste of a good-looking face, he looks like a dog."

"I can hear you."

Li Qingruo, who has been tricked by Ji Xian since she was a child: !!!

At night, the stars are twinkling outside the window, and the evening breeze blows by, and the candles in the guest room flicker slowly.

Qiu Muli closed the window and then walked to the bathtub. He put his hands in the tub. The bright and juicy petals made his fingers look even more tender.

Shen Yuqing: When you introduced the product, didn’t it say that you could choose the flower petals for this bath tub? So why didn’t you put sunflowers in it?

Yun Wuque: This is hard to judge...

Shen Yuqing: But don’t you think it’s fun to eat melon seeds while taking a bath? !

Yun Wuque: I wish you success.

Shuangbei: Ayu is really interesting.

Qiu Muli: Let’s try it together next time?

The water temperature was just right. Qiu Muli brushed her hair to her chest and took off her clothes. As the last piece of clothing slipped off, the red peony on the right shoulder blade of her back was revealed.

The peony seemed to have some kind of magic that made people unconsciously focus all their attention on it. As they watched this narrow-waisted and broad-shouldered figure slowly sink into the bathtub under the swaying of the candlelight, they were shocked to find that the person in front of them, who could be called a beauty who brought disaster to the world, was actually a man.

The comfortable water temperature made Qiu Muli relax his brow. He picked up a petal with his hand. The red petal could not compare to the beauty between his lips. He curled his lips and casually crushed the petal.
