She traveled to the fantasy world and fought monsters
Chapter 26 The Man in Black
Mu Shuiqi was unwilling to follow Qi Lie into the palace to receive the reward, which surprised Qi Lie a little.
This was an opportunity that many people would beg for, but she was so gifted that she was unwilling to accept this reward.
"Miss Mu is truly a hero who does not seek fame or fortune! Please accept my greeting!" Qi Lie admired her even more and bowed to her solemnly.
He had already bowed to her three times when they first met. She felt a little overwhelmed. After all, he was a prince. He had condescended to her, and she didn't need his thanks.
When she first saved Zhang Xing's wife, she was just doing something that made her feel at peace with herself. Later, when the five monsters came to seek revenge, she only took action to protect herself.
"Qi Lie, don't worship me anymore. I just saw injustice and helped others. I did what I could. I don't need anyone's gratitude." She should leave. "Xiu Xiu, let's go."
It was getting dark, and the clothing stores were closing. If she didn't buy something to wear, she would be embarrassed walking around the streets in tattered clothes.
"Are you going home, Miss Shepherd? Which street do you live on? I'll visit you another day."
"I don't have a home." She planned to find an inn to stay in tonight and take a good bath.
Qi Lie took off his fox fur cloak and put it on her without saying a word, even helping her tie the knot. Although they had just met and didn't know each other well, he could sense the girl's stubbornness and unrestrained nature, and she wouldn't easily accept gifts from others.
How could someone who doesn't even care about the rewards from the palace care about any other gifts?
So he had to do this and force her to accept the gift.
She frowned. This guy was really rude.
Qi Lie lowered his head and looked at her handsome features. "The weather is warm but still cold. Xiwa is located in the frigid northwest, so it's even colder than other places. Miss Mu is wearing such a thin dress... Please accept my cloak. Don't despise it."
Well, she wasn't disgusted. Why would she dislike this cloak? It was made of fine fox fur, spacious, warm, soft and beautiful. Even if it were sold in her world, it wouldn't cost tens of thousands of yuan.
"No, I'm not afraid of the cold." She wanted to take off her cloak, but he stopped her with one hand.
He gently pressed down on her wrist, which was clutching the knot of her cloak, and spoke in a gentle yet firm tone. "Miss Mu, just consider it as a small token of my gratitude. Do you think you dislike my things?"
Now that things had come to this, it would be unreasonable for her not to accept it. It was just a cloak, and she had killed six monsters for his country, so she was indeed worthy of such a precious gift.
So, she bowed back to him, imitating the way Qi Lie had bowed to her. "Thank you, Prince Qi Lie, for the cloak. Goodbye."
In the candlelight of the night, Qi Lie watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance. Her bright red skirt swayed in the wind, carefree and comfortable, until it finally disappeared around the corner of the street.
The soldiers who went to Woshan to check the situation came back to report.
"Reporting to the Third Prince, there are indeed traces of baby-eating beasts burned to death in the forest of Wo Mountain. Their bodies have been completely burned, leaving only a pile of ashes."
Qi Lie sighed, "Miss Mu is truly brave and unparalleled, she is truly divine."
He hopes to meet her again one day.
Mu Shuiqi had sold out all the clothes in Qingluo Clothing Store that day, and since the new stock that people had ordered was being rushed out, there was definitely no clothes left in the store for the time being. Mu Shuiqi bypassed Qingluo Clothing Store and rushed to Manager Liu's ready-made clothing store to buy two dresses.
In her old world, she didn't like wearing red. As an orphan, she was used to being low-key, and she didn't like to stand out.
Arriving in the Xuanyu, no one knew her past. She felt like she had been reborn, her life a blank slate, ready to be rewritten. She lived her life however she wished, releasing all the repressed emotions.
She just wants to wear red and likes to wear red.
It's eye-catching and beautiful, so what!
While you are young, live freely and carefreely.
I found an inn on the street and stayed there, then took a nice hot bath. It was so refreshing!
"ah!"
She suddenly screamed from the other side of the screen, and the water in the bathtub made a sound as she shook it.
A screen separated them from each other, and Chouchou was enjoying the grilled lamb chops he had packed back. Hearing her voice, he thought something had happened and flew over to find her.
"Ah—" He forgot the difference between men and women, because his master was a girl. He quickly covered his eyes with his wings.
"Chouchou, why are you covering your eyes?" She supported her chin with one hand on the edge of the bucket, her whole body relaxed, not minding at all that Chouchou could see her naked.
It said, "I am male, and you are female."
"Please, you are my pet, not a human." In her eyes, Chouchou was just like a domestic cat or dog.
"Hehe." It moved its wings and looked at her openly, "Master, you just cried out, I thought something happened to you."
"I'm fine, I just forgot to buy candied haws." She felt a little disappointed that she didn't get to eat the candied haws as planned.
"I'll go out and buy it for you." Chouchou patted his chest with one wing, thinking it was no big deal.
She smiled and said, "If a soul-eating snake goes out to buy candied haws, will anyone sell them to you?"
"If you have money, you can buy it, no matter if you are a monster or a human."
Right.
Starting tonight, the streets of Tucheng have returned to their former bustling and lively state.
The news that all the baby-eating beasts were killed by Mu Shuiqi spread like wildfire, and people finally dared to go out of their homes in the dark.
Chouchou took some knife coins and went out to buy some candied haws. She continued to soak in her hot bath.
Perhaps she was too tired today, she fell asleep in the bucket, her head half tilted back, leaning against the edge of the bucket.
When Chou Chou returned, the water in the bucket was a little cold.
"Qiqi, wake up." It held a candied haws fruit in its mouth and put it to her nose, grinning, "Does it smell good? Wake up."
It didn't work. She was in too deep a sleep.
"Master, you must be exhausted." It felt sorry for her and lifted one of its wings to touch her forehead.
Carefully, he put the candied haws into a paper bag and put it away. He controlled his spiritual power to make himself slightly bigger, just enough to pull Mu Shuiqi out of the bucket.
He put her to bed, dried her, and tucked her in. After all this, he was exhausted. He didn't want to eat the lamb chops anymore, so he just fell asleep next to his owner.
Outside the window, perched on a willow tree, a man in black, his sable cape also gleaming black, stood tall and imposing, like a jade tree in the wind.
In the dark and windy night, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his gaze was like a cold blade as he stared at the room where Mu Shuiqi was.
The facial features carved by the magic knife are outlined in the moonlight, exuding a cold aura.
His dark eyes stared at his prey without blinking.
The doors and windows of Mu Shuiqi's room were tightly closed. Even though it was late at night, the candlelight in the room was still burning.
Another masked man in black leaped over from the other end of the inn and landed steadily on a willow branch. "Master, Mu Shuiqi and her pet are already asleep."
Now is the best time to take action.
But the man known as the master was calm and composed, not in a hurry to act. "This is a busy city, we shouldn't disturb others."
Mu Shuiqi's glorious deed of burning all the baby-eating beasts spread throughout Tuocheng, and the man had also heard of it.
I originally thought that she was just an ordinary mortal, and even if there was a demon pill attached to her body, she had no spiritual power.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a difficult woman to deal with.
This will require some thought.
What's more, he wanted a very powerful real soul body, so he had to wait for some time for Mu Shuiqi to become stronger.
