No taboos

Chapter 262 Seven-sided Pitcher Plant

Xu Yuan was no longer sleepy. He listened carefully and found that the night was completely silent.

The street outside was also quiet.

Recently, the evil spirits in the city no longer hang around the South City Patrol Office.

After waiting for a while, nothing happened.

But Xu Yuan couldn't sleep, so he simply started practicing "Five Ding Cooking".

……

On the street opposite the South City Patrol Office, three shadows silently swung their tails and disappeared into the darkness.

There are two little foxes hiding on the street corner.

Don't dare to move.

When the three figures were far away, the sisters trembled and asked, "Did you see it?"

"I see, your cultivation is quite profound!"

"I'm afraid she's not inferior to my aunt."

"What should we do..."

There was a cry in the fox's voice.

Yesterday, my ancestor wrote to urge me again.

This time the wording was very harsh.

If they don't make any further progress, I'm afraid the ancestor will come to Champa in person to question them.

They were afraid of the ancestor and didn't want him to come.

So tonight I plucked up the courage and went to the South City Patrol Room again.

Prepare to "accidentally" meet Lord Xu early tomorrow morning.

But now Xu Yuan has been targeted by those three "seniors". If we hang out with Xu Yuan, we might get implicated... Those three seniors have big mouths, and the two of us are not enough to fill their teeth.

"Let's go back first."

My sister's teeth were knocked against each other.

"it is good!"

The two little foxes slipped away quickly, but were spotted by an evil spirit that was gnawing on a dead mouse.

The evil spirit opened its bloody mouth and sneered: Why don’t these two give up and insist on wandering around outside the big house?

You must be scared, huh.

It had just seen clearly that the two foxes had their tails clamped tightly together.

Then it began to blame itself: It's all evil spirits. I'm from the city after all, why am I living such a miserable life and can only eat rats, snakes and the like.

I also want to eat people like the evil spirit in the mountains...

……

After daybreak, Xu Yuan looked at the almanac and found that today's prohibitions were:
Going to the river, worshiping ancestors, reclaiming wasteland, and performing martial arts.

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and the evil spirit gave Lao Qin a break.

As soon as he left the house, Zhang Laoya opened the door and said solemnly, "They're here!"

Xu Yuan immediately thought of the nightmare he had last night.

But Lord Xu remained calm and asked, "Those enemies of yours?"

"Yeah." Zhang Laoya walked towards Xu Yuan's house.

Xu Yuan's room is the largest, and people usually eat here.

There is a shortage of rooms in the South City Patrol Office, and there is no room left to be used as a dining room.

Lin Wanmo also got up. She was very diligent when there was something to do.

Especially when this matter involves outsiders.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the stepmother has always been portrayed as "hardworking, virtuous, and frugal".

If it were just her and Xu Yuan at home, she would sleep so soundly that she wouldn't even have lunch.

Lin Wanmo went to make breakfast. Zhang Laoya said to Xu Yuan, "I had a nightmare last night. They have a power, which is to enter dreams."

Zhang Laoya sighed: "They finally found me."

Xu Yuan asked, "Who are they? How did you offend them?"

Zhang Laoya's face flushed and he hesitated, not wanting to say anything.

Xu Yuan then asked, "You still refuse to tell the truth now?" "Ahem, these are all the sins I committed when I was young."

Zhang Laoya also felt that he had to explain things clearly to Lord Xu.

"They are not humans, they are three nightmare tapirs."

"Back then, I went to Yunfu Mountain in Zhengzhou, Guangdong and Guangxi Province for some matters. I accidentally entered a garden villa, and they were the owners of that villa."

Zhang Laoya sighed again, "What a fateful relationship... Later I learned their true identities. After I finished my business, I didn't dare to get involved any further and quietly left."

"They feel cheated and have been looking for me all these years."

"I hid from Guangdong and Guangxi Province to Zhili Province, and then from Zhili Province to Jiaozhi. I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape..."

Xu Yuan looked at Zhang Laoya in confusion.

This look made Zhang Laoya feel insulted: "What I said is true! What are you looking at me with? When I was young, I was also a dashing, handsome young man, okay?"

"Okay." Between believing that Zhang Laoya was a handsome young man when he was young and the three nightmare tapirs were blind, Xu Yuan chose the latter.

But Xu Yuan still felt that Zhang Laoya was not telling the truth.

"You've been hiding for so many years, how did they find you?"

Zhang Laoya lowered his head and remained silent.

"speak!"

"I...was young back then, and I exchanged my birth dates with them."

Xu Yuan just picked up the teacup and took a sip, and it all came out.

"You—, have you paid the betrothal gift and are planning to marry her formally?"

Zhang Lao Ya's face flushed red. "We were young then, and their illusions were so advanced. I didn't realize they weren't human. All three sisters fell in love with me at the same time, a gentle embrace. Who could resist that?"

Xu Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while, okay, you have a point.

Lord Xu asked himself, if it were him, he would probably not be able to bear it either.

"They also have some methods. They can use my birth date and time to calculate my approximate location. But I didn't expect that after all these years, they still miss me so much."

Zhang Laoya raised his head and looked out the window, sighing, "Although this has troubled me for over a decade, they are deeply in love with me."

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement, then suddenly realized something was wrong: "More than ten years? How old are you this year?"

Zhang Laoya then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly corrected himself, saying, "I was wrong. It was decades, not more than ten years."

"Don't lie to me!" Xu Yuan grabbed her and refused to let go. "Tell me the truth, when did this happen? Besides cheating on her feelings and body, did you cheat on her with anything else?"

Xu Yuan now doesn't believe 30% of what the old liar says.

Zhang Laoya argued: "I didn't lie to you..."

"Get out of here!" Xu Yuan pointed at the door and shouted, "Our business is based on honesty and integrity. You taught me that! If you don't tell me the truth, our deal ends here!"

"Why are you turning your back on me?" Zhang Laoya was anxious.

He really needs Xu Yuan's fate.

Apart from anything else, the three sleep tapirs suddenly appeared in my dream last night.

But Zhang Lao Ya lives in the patrol room in the south city and has a talisman to suppress him.

Entering into a dream once could not cause any harm to Zhang Laoya, but instead made him realize that he was exposed.

It might be that the three nightmare tapirs finally found Zhang Laoya, and they were so excited that they acted irrationally.

But this must also be attributed to Xu Yuan's "Eight Directions Injury".

Xu Yuan didn't sense anything because the three nightmare tapirs were mainly targeting Zhang Laoya.

Xu Yuan was only threatened incidentally.

"Tell the truth or go!"

Zhang Laoya remained motionless. "Okay, ten years, ten years, okay? I'll be forty-six then."

Xu Yuan finally couldn't help it this time: "Are they blind?"

Zhang Laoya glanced at him, then stood up and tidied himself in front of the mirror.

When he turned around again, his whole temperament changed.

Xu Yuan opened his mouth in surprise.

You know what, Mr. Zhang is quite a gentleman.

Zhang Laoya hummed and said, "Over the years, I've almost changed my appearance completely, alas..."

Then he said honestly, "You guessed right. I stole a precious medicine they cultivated with great effort, the seven-sided pitcher plant."
