She looked at Lou JingXiao with a blank expression and cold eyes. “Go away, I’m not hiring a prostitute today either.”
Upon hearing that, the smile on Lou JingXiao’s handsome face stiffened a little.
The curve between his lips sank down bit by bit, and Lou JingXiao raised his arched eyebrows. “What did you say?”
Ye MuXi walked past his side. “Not hiring today, nor the future.”
That meaning indicated that it was for Lou JingXiao not to appear in front of her.
Ye MuXi was telling the truth, she was a poor person, she didn’t have the heart or the money to seek out prostitutes or young men for pleasure.
The capital of NanYan culture was quite open; in the capital, there were not only brothels but also many male brothel houses.
Legend has it that all the men in these brothels were more beautiful than women.
It was no wonder that Ye MuXi would think of Lou JingXiao as a brothel boy, it was just that this man was a little too good looking.
“Do I look like a brothel boy?” The smile on Lou JingXiao’s handsome face deepened a bit.
He had actually arrived here a long time ago.
He was the Shaman Puppet’s target, but this girl was carrying the Shaman Puppet’s Inner Bead on her body. When they come to kill him, the Shaman Puppets would definitely finish off this girl first.
When he saw the Shaman Puppet trying to kill her, Lou JingXiao didn’t make a move to save her.
That day when this little girl stomped on him, he still remembered it in his heart. Selfishly, he wanted to make this little girl suffer a little, to let her know that in the world there were people more talented than oneself.
What surprised him was that this little girl, who hadn’t even cultivated, was able to kill the monster without a change in complexion, although she herself was riddled with cuts.
Looking at her wretched appearance, Lou JingXiao appeared to mock her deliberately, but she instead, considered him a prostitute.
Hiring a prostitute?
Lou JingXiao seemed to be smiling, but the smile didn’t quite reach his eyes. No one had ever dared to say anything like that about him before.
“Not look like one?” Ye MuXi stopped and looked back at him. “You’re not?”
Lou JingXiao strode slowly to Ye MuXi’s body, his slender fingers lying beneath her chin, lifting her bloodied face up.
“Little girl, I think you’re forgetting something.” Lou JingXiao’s voice suddenly lowered, “Robbing me of my silver, trying to set fire to destroy my body, then kicking me after this matter got exposed, huh?”
Upon hearing that, Ye MuXi’s beautiful eyes narrowed and looked at the man in front of her.
So this was the man who was half-dead that day?
Seeing him this way, although this person’s face was full of blood that day, if you looked closely, the eyebrows and eyes still seemed somewhat familiar.
Ye MuXi didn’t know when Lou JingXiao appeared, but this person was able to appear before her without a sound a moment ago.
If he was just a brothel boy, he shouldn’t have been hunted down, much less have such quiet strength.
So… was it a misunderstanding on her part?
“Oh.”
Ye MuXi responded without guilt. She didn’t want to be caught up by the monsters again and wanted to urgently leave. So after thinking a while, she finally made a decision and pulled out a silver or two from her money pouch and tossed it to Lou JingXiao. “I’ll return it to you. “
Lou JingXiao: “…….”
He looked at the few silvers in his hand and then at Ye MuXi. Was he not stating the obvious enough, or was she playing dumb?
Was he trying to ask for money?
Even if I was trying to get my silver back, it’s more than a couple of silvers, right?
After giving the silver, Ye MuXi’s heart became even more impatient. For her, a couple of silver was very, very many.
“Now, take your hand away.” Ye MuXi’s tone was none too kind. “You’re assaulting my nose.”
She really didn’t know why this man smelled so good—so much so that it made the rotten smell of her blood mixed with the monster’s blood seem even worse.
Ye MuXi was in a very bad mood.
Lou JingXiao: “……..”
Seeing that Lou JingXiao still won’t let go, Ye MuXi raised her hand and slapped Lou JingXiao’s fingers away.
Although she was heavily injured, her strength was not small at all. After slapping Lou JingXiao’s slender fingers away, she circled around him and left.
Lou JingXiao had seen all sorts of people but he had never seen one like this!
What did she mean by assaulting her nose?
Obviously, the one who was stinking right now was her, not him.
Looking at Ye MuXi’s back as she walked away, Lou JingXiao took a disgusted look at his fingers, the fingers that had just touched her face, that seemed to also take on a hint of the rotten smell.
Perhaps it was the placebo effect, but after hearing Ye MuXi say that he vaguely felt a strange smell coming on his body as well.
He waved his hand.
Chu Ci immediately emerged from the darkness. “Master.”
Lou JingXiao sniffed his fingers, and the dislike in his eyes intensified. “My fingers are dirty. Go back and draw me a bath.”
“…….. “Chu Ci went strangely silent for a bit. “I will go prepare immediately.”
He didn’t understand why Lou JingXiao had to bathe when his fingers were dirty; couldn’t he just wash his hands?
Chu Ci looked at the monster’s corpse on the ground and couldn’t help but say, “My Lord, I didn’t expect a human woman could kill a Shaman Puppet.”
Lou JingXiao snorted. “It’s just a Shaman Puppet of the lowest level. Where is my chaise longue?”
Chu Xu Hui hurriedly said, “I have been carrying it!”
“Mhm.” Lou JingXiao was satisfied. “Hurry up and prepare it, I still have to go watch a good show after bathing.”
“Yes.”
Chu Ci carried out the order.
……..
Ye MuXi didn’t go straight home. If she went home in her current appearance, Song QingLan would definitely be worried if she saw her.
Besides, she still had the five monster’s Inner Beads on her body. There was a chance that the monster might still have a fellow clan member that would suddenly appear again.
Ye Muxi went out of the city to a river. She took the five Inner Beads and threw them into the river, allowing the turbulent water to instantly flush away the Inner Beads.
She was thinking of exchanging this for more silver; but instead of silver, she ran into monsters.
It had been over a month since she came to this world, and she still didn’t feel comfortable.
Ye MuXi sat down by the riverside and cleaned her wounds and the blood on her body.
The monster’s green blood carried a stench, a stench that was somewhat familiar to the previous scent on the Inner Beads, making one feel disgusted from the bottom of one’s heart.
She simply jumped into the river and scrubbed her body hard; her clothes quickly got wet by the river water, washing away the bloodstains on her body.
The bloodstains on her clothes were not easy to wash, and it took her a long time to wash off the bloodstains on her innerwear, but as for the outermost one, it was already unwearable, so she just threw it away.
However, after the blood has washed off, Ye MuXi found that the odd rotten smell was still on her body and didn’t disappear with the cleaning.
“What’s going on?”
Ye MuXi’s willow brows furrowed.
She hesitated for a moment—the sun had already set, if she didn’t go back, Song QingLan would be anxious so she had to get up from the river.
It would take some distance to get home from outside the city. By the time she got home, the water stains on her clothes had dried, except for the faint smell of decay that was still there. Nothing could be seen on the outside.
Seeing Ye MuXi back, Song QingLan’s eyes lit up and hurriedly said, “Xi’er, mother has helped you get it all done. Tonight you have a good night’s sleep, and tomorrow in the morning, we’ll go to Ye clan, where the Immortal of Fate will help you open your Divine Soul! If you can open your Divine Soul, you’ll be able to cultivate later!”
Ye MuXi footsteps paused. “Ye clan will help?”
The Ye clan couldn’t let the mother and daughter leave far away, so how could they be willing to let the Immortal of Fate open her soul?
If she really opened up her Divine Soul and became successful in the future, wouldn’t the Ye clan find enemies for themselves?
She didn’t believe that the Ye clan would be so kind.
Song QingLan’s eyes flashed with something and barely smiled. “Of course they will, you don’t need to think too much, just rest well tonight. Mother believes in you, you will definitely open up your Divine Soul.”
Ye MuXi noticed that Song QingLan’s face looked a little off, and she pursed her lips, her heart faintly aware of something.
She looked at Lou JingXiao with a blank expression and cold eyes. “Go away, I’m not hiring a prostitute today either.”
Upon hearing that, the smile on Lou JingXiao’s handsome face stiffened a little.
The curve between his lips sank down bit by bit, and Lou JingXiao raised his arched eyebrows. “What did you say?”
