Chapter 19 "It wasn't that I was tempted by worldly desires, it was him..."
Zhu Bao'e was tied to a pillar and couldn't get close to him directly, so she could only try her best to lean her upper body over.
She asked, "Brother, do you have any secret recipe for loosening the rope? You have to sit so close to tell me."
"It doesn't require any special techniques, so it can hardly be called a secret formula." The swordsman met her eyes. "Turn around."
"Okay, okay!" Bao'e agreed and turned her back to him.
The swordsman also leaned in as much as he could to get closer to her.
A warm breath suddenly landed on her neck, and Zhu Bao'e couldn't help but shrink her head back.
"Don't move," the swordsman said.
Good Bao'e remained motionless, but her eyes were fixed on Sanzang.
She muttered, "Amitabha, Master, even though you haven't opened your eyes, you should know that it's not that I've developed worldly desires, but that he's deliberately playing tricks on me."
Upon hearing this, the swordsman couldn't help but laugh.
He bit the rope at the back of her neck and pulled hard.
After pulling and tugging like this, the rope was loosened a little.
Bao'e couldn't see anyone else, but she could feel those soft, warm lips and gentle breath.
She shrank back further, thinking to herself how slow this swordsman was, taking so long to make a move. Luckily, she was a kind and gentle person, tolerating his laziness.
Just as their affection was blossoming, two little devils suddenly appeared from the other side.
One of them shouted, "The king has ordered that one person be cooked and eaten first. You should discuss who will skin the person and put them in the pot first!"
Upon hearing that she was to be skinned and boiled, Bao'e was so terrified that her bones went weak and her muscles went numb. Forgetting all feelings, she hurriedly cried out, "Don't boil me! Don't boil me! I'm not human, I'm a demon!"
The two imps looked at each other, somewhat confused: "Your Majesty clearly said there were two people."
"You're being foolish. That chanting monk is a human, and that swordsman with the sword is also a human. I'm just a demon who's not worth eating, so why don't you just let me go!"
The little devil said, "Even though you're useless, we can't let you go. The king said you should be tied up here. Since you're not human, let's go and ask the king before making a decision."
Then they left.
Bao'e broke out in a sweat when she suddenly realized someone was watching her.
She turned her head and saw the swordsman's ambiguous smile.
He said, "Miss Zhu is really afraid of falling into the belly of that evil spirit. She previously put forward the principle that 'it is better for one to die than for two to die,' but now she refuses to act like a human being."
Bao'e said blankly, "Brother Qiao, you don't know that this was exactly my plan. After making a fuss, those little devils got annoyed and left."
The swordsman smiled wryly: "What a clever scheme, what a clever scheme. You can fool those two little monsters as if they were idiots, but do you think I'm confused too?"
"Go to sleep, don't think about these things." The fool leaned against him with difficulty. "Now we've finally managed to save a little bit of life. I'm tired too. I'll listen to Master chant some scriptures for a while. When Senior Brother comes, he can't be eaten by humans or demons."
