Monster, come to my bowl

"You still dare to make conditions with me?" Xue Yi sneered upon hearing this: "Believe it or not, I will drag you out right now and tell the people in the town that you are a spy sent by the demon, and let them beat you to death. So many people have died in this demon attack, and there are many people who want to seek revenge on the demon!"

What the hell!

No wonder they say the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is!

Isn't this move too cruel?

Not only do you want to kill me, but you also want to destroy my reputation?

Shrimp and pork heart are included.

When Cai Ji heard this, he cursed in his heart.

But he knew that he could not show weakness at this time, as that would make him even more passive.

He continued to grit his teeth and said stubbornly, "No need to threaten me! Everyone has to die, I've let it go long ago! Just tell me whether you agree to the three conditions or not?"

Cai Ji’s toughness really worked.

Although he was pretending, Xue Yi was in a dilemma.

At this moment, although the young lady did not say it, she had already developed a great interest in the remaining pages of the holy text, because this not only involved the legendary magical power, but also related to her investigation of the cause of her brother's death.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand and said, "Tell me the conditions first."

"You swear first!" Cai Ji took the opportunity to set a trap.

"How can I swear if you don't tell me the details?" Xue Yi was not a pushover and retorted, "What if you put forward three obscene conditions, do you think I would agree?"

"Alright!" Cai Ji did not force it and said directly: "First of all, you can't tell anyone about my acquaintance with Sheng Wen!"

Xue Yi thought for a moment and nodded decisively: "Okay! I can swear to keep this a secret for you!"

She knew that if Cai Ji really knew Shengwen, it would definitely cause a shocking change in the world, so the fewer people who knew the inside story, the better.

Cai Ji nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The second one... I haven't thought of it yet!"

"Haven't you thought it through? Are you kidding me?" Xue Yi got angry when he heard that.

She was now waiting for Cai Ji to put forward the three conditions and then explain the four words on the remaining pages of the sacred text.

But this guy actually said that he hasn’t thought about the second condition yet?

If this isn't deliberate procrastination, what is?

Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was beyond Xue Yi's expectations.

"Of course not!" Cai Ji shook his head and said with a smile, "I haven't thought about the second condition yet, but I have thought about the third one! As long as you agree to the third one, I will tell you what those words mean."

Some people might think that Cai Ji was so bold as to flirt with a beautiful woman at such a time.

However, it is not.

He just felt that the Miss Xue in front of him was too strong. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity of just getting to know her to suppress her in momentum, he would be very passive in future cooperation.

Sure enough, after hearing his explanation, Xue Yi became even more angry and said, "Don't play tricks on me. I have a lot of things to do! I don't have time to waste with you!"

Anxious!

She is anxious!

Cai Ji was secretly pleased and immediately said, "The third condition is that you will be responsible for collecting the holy texts and I will be responsible for translating them. We will share the results! I swear that I will never keep anything to myself! But for every holy text I translate, you have to compensate me an extra 100 taels... No, 500 taels!"

When Xue Yi heard this, his eyes widened.

Without even thinking, she angrily shouted, "What are you daydreaming about! When did I agree to cooperate with you? And you still want to ask me for money?"

"If you don't cooperate, forget it." Cai Ji said calmly.

"You..." Xue Yi was so angry that his chest heaved, but he gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, then said hatefully: "Okay! Five hundred taels is five hundred taels! Now it's your turn to prove yourself. If you dare to make up stories, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying this, he handed the torn page of holy text to Cai Ji.

Cai Ji looked at the torn page in front of him, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he raised his chin and said, "No need for this. Go get me some writing materials so that you can understand them."

Things like taking things should be done by servants.

But there were only two people in the room at the moment, and Cai Ji was a patient lying in bed, so Xue Yi had to do it himself.

She had just sworn not to reveal the matter of Shengwen.

There is no way to summon servants.

The eldest lady could only hold back her anger, stood up, walked to the desk and started working.

You don't know until you work, and you get even more angry when you start working.

The paper and pen are fine, but the ink is dry!

She had no choice but to grit her teeth, pour some tea into the inkstone, and start grinding the ink herself.

Crunchy!

He was so angry and frustrated that he was grinding his teeth.

"Write!"

A moment later, Miss Xue put the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone on a tray, brought it to Cai Ji, and blurted out a word viciously.

"Just write! Hold it steady!" Cai Ji didn't indulge her. He spread out the white paper on the tray, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing.

Xue Yi was originally full of anger, but as he watched, the anger in his eyes slowly turned into surprise.

She was surprised to see that Cai Ji had written five lines on the paper, with four words in each line.

These five lines of characters are very similar overall, but each line is slightly different.

The first line is exactly the same as the four sacred texts on the remaining page.

By the last line, the strokes and shapes of the characters are very different.

After Cai Ji finished writing the five lines of characters, he threw away the brush and pointed at the characters to explain: "The content of these five lines of characters is exactly the same, but the older they are, the older they are! If the first line is called the ancient sacred text, then the second line is the ancient sacred text, the third line is the ancient sacred text, the fourth line is the Cretaceous sacred text, and the fifth line is the Sinian sacred text..."

It turned out that what he was writing at the moment was the simplified version of "火烧眉毛" and its four ancient characters.

You ask Cai Ji how he could do this?

Because, before he traveled through time, he studied Chinese language and literature!

"???"

When Xue Yi heard Cai Ji's explanation, he was full of questions.

Ancient holy text, ancient holy text, white goose and chicken holy text, steamed egg chicken holy text...

What the hell?

Never heard of it at all!

Cai Ji saw the young lady’s confused face and laughed inwardly.

Don’t you understand?

Just don’t understand!

Just to make you feel awesome!

He put on an unfathomable expression, pointed at the seal-style word "fire" on the last line, and asked, "What does this word look like?"

"Like what?" Xue Yi asked stupidly.

"Like a burning flame! So, it means fire." Cai Ji did not give the young lady a chance to question and pointed to the second word: "What about this one?"

"On the left... is a fire, and on the right... I don't recognize it!" Although Xue Yi was smart, he had been confused at this moment and shook his head cooperatively.

"On the right is a shelf with a pile of firewood on it! Fire and firewood together means burning!" After Cai Ji explained the second word, he stopped asking questions and went on to explain: "The third word has an eye below and a tadpole-like line above, which means eyebrows. The fourth word looks like a bunch of messy hair, which means hair! The four words together mean fire, burn, eyebrow, and hair!"

"Fire, burn, eyebrows, hair!" Xue Yi repeated word by word, looking shocked and asked, "Is that really what you mean? You didn't lie to me?"

"Whether I'm lying to you or not, you can analyze it yourself." Cai Ji was already confident at this time, and added calmly: "But 'burning eyebrows' is just the meaning of these four words. They are put together mainly to describe that something is urgent."

"Burn your eyebrows... a metaphor for something urgent... Yeah, that makes sense!" Xue Yi muttered to himself, nodding subconsciously to show his approval, and then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Then what do these words have to do with the Holy Word?"

"I don't know!" Cai Ji spread his hands.

"I don't know?" Xue Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became angry again: "You don't even know this, why should I agree to three conditions?"

She felt cheated.
