The villain has been playing badly for ten years

After walking around this strange forest, around noon, the two finally saw a sea of ​​blood-red flowers not far away.

When you get closer, you will see that the petals look like ghost claws pointing towards the sky, with a faint fragrance.

In the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, there was a stilt wooden house with some herbs drying on the dilapidated railings, but there was no one around, so Ning Xiusu thought about waiting.

But Hua Jianbai suddenly said to him as if talking to herself:

"Nine out of ten love stories circulating in the martial arts world are tragic. I'm afraid we'll have to perform a touching drama later."

He was stunned and asked, "What big show?"

……

Hua Jianbai wanted to say something but stopped himself. He saw the hunchbacked strange man carrying a basket of herbs and returning to the house as if no one was around, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to the person outside the door.

He was impatient and went into the wooden house without saying a word, and Ning Xiusu followed him.

The medicine house is simple, filled with flowers and dried medicinal herbs.

Wanqi Guai's sinister gaze swept across Hua Jianbai and then fell on Ning Xiusu, and said in a stern tone:

"Why are you here again?! Everyone, get out! Outsiders are not welcome here!"

Ning Xiusu bowed to him according to the etiquette of Jianghu:

"Poison King, please don't blame us for being so abrupt. We just heard there's a secret elixir that can induce sleep, and we've come to ask for it."

Wanqi Gu groaned and said in a very surly tone, "You've got the wrong person."

Seeing this, Hua Jianbai simply got straight to the point. He took out the hairpin that Hu Xiaoxiao often wore from his arms and placed it directly in front of Wanqi Guai.

Wanqi Guai's eyes looked as if he wanted to devour someone's flesh and blood. He snatched it away and said, "This is Youlai's hairpin. Where did you get it?"

Hanamibadao said: "Your Yulai is about to be executed, are you also indifferent?"

He uttered a cold cry through his teeth and just asked: "Why did she give you the hairpin?"

Hanami defeated and said: "Of course, I will hand it over to you."

The veins on Wanqi Guai's forehead bulged, and he seemed very angry. He suddenly smashed the table with a palm.

He was furious at this moment, as if he had misunderstood something, but Hanamibai remained calm:

"Don't misunderstand me, I'm just asking you to do something for me."

Wanqi Guai stared at her fiercely, seemingly unconvinced.

Hanamibai plans to do something ruthless.

"I know you and Youlai were once a beautiful story. Although the relationship between humans and mermaids is unacceptable to the world, it has inspired me in some way."

As Hanamibai spoke, regardless of whether it was abrupt or not, he suddenly pulled the person next to him and interlocked their fingers.

Ning Xiusu's eyebrows twitched for no reason, and it started again... Hua Jianbai has been acting very strangely these past few days.

Another item was cleared from the task bar in front of Hanamibai.

"Number 367, the completion rate of the character design task has increased by 50%. Keep up the good work."

He just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he tilted his head, gently leaned on Ning Xiusu's shoulder, and said affectionately:

"So, I also fell in love with a merman, and he was a man, but I would never run away from these feelings and hide myself away like a turtle."

amount……

Hua Jianbai gestured for him to say a few words, and he finally reacted and nodded:

"That's right. Since you have feelings, you should put aside worldly matters and prejudices."

Wanqi Guai was stunned for a moment, as if he had suffered a blow, and said in a daze: "Who are you guys..."

Hua Jianbai glanced at him and said, "We are good friends with Youlai. She is now imprisoned. If the Poison King is unwilling to help, we can give her the secret medicine as a gift."

Wanqi Guai looked at the couple in front of him and suddenly burst into tears. After he finished crying, his eyes looked far away, as if as far as the horizon.

After a moment's silence, he recounted a story with a wistful look in his voice: "I met Youlai at Xishan Pavilion. She was so beautiful and so kind..."

"She is a mermaid who makes a living selling tea in the mountains and rivers. I have suffered from a serious illness since childhood, and I am hunchbacked and ugly. I fell in love with her, but I am not worthy of her."

"So, I took a forbidden drug without permission. It can temporarily transform a person. Only in this way could I change my appearance and stand shoulder to shoulder with her under the same sky... I thought I could stay with her forever in this appearance."

Wanqi Guai's lips trembled, and when he got excited, he clenched his fists until they turned white and tears streamed down his face.

"But she eventually found out. She thought I was cheating and that I was never worthy of her! The side effects of the pills made my face look even more horrible. Until Youlai left without saying goodbye and entered the Three Flowers Temple, we never met again. My relationship with her was over long ago!"

Ning Xiusu and the others looked at each other when they heard this. It was probably Hu Xiaoxiao who left without saying goodbye. She wasn't the one he loved at all...

"Since Youlai hates me, why should I save her!" Wanqi Guai said angrily, slamming the table and gritting his teeth.

Hua Jianbai was startled. Seeing that he was about to go berserk again, she was afraid that her request for medicine would be in vain, so she quickly said, "No, she doesn't hate you, she just needs some time."

"She told you?"

There was a glimmer of hope in Wanqi Guai's eyes, which were as green as dead ashes.

"That's right." Hua Jianbai took the risk and nodded in agreement.

Wanqi Guai looked like a camel that was about to die of thirst and had just drunk some water. He stared at Hua Jianbai, then looked at Ning Xiusu beside him, and suddenly pointed at him.

"You, you are more trustworthy. Can you bring her to see me?"

Hanamibai kept leaning on his shoulder and poked his arm with his invisible fingers.

Ning Xiusu had no choice but to follow Hua Jianbai's words.

"Of course, if Youlai were alive, you would be able to see him."

Hearing the two of them agree, Wanqi Guai hurriedly took out an exquisite box from the wooden drawer and gave it to Hua Jianbai very eagerly.

"Take this secret medicine, and remember your promise!"

Hanamibai nodded righteously.

Ning Xiusu felt relieved after successfully getting the medicine and was about to step out of the medicine house.

Wanqi Guai suddenly called him back and said mysteriously, "The magic I gave you cannot be stained with blood."

He wanted to ask what this meant, but Wanqi Guai slammed the wooden door shut, as if he didn't want to pay any more attention to him, so he had to give up on his questions.

The sunset is faint and the glow of the sky is rising.

Standing on the edge of a cliff, you can overlook the picturesque mountains.

Hua Jianbai has a straight and delicate nose, and the corners of his lips are slightly upturned. He looks at a jade-colored pill in the exquisite box and smiles happily.

"I never thought I'd get the secret medicine so easily. Now I just need to find a way to get Xiaoxiao to take it. Saving a living person isn't easy, but saving a dead person isn't just as easy..."

After saying this, he walked along the narrow path, folding his arms in front of his chest with a proud look on his face.

Ning Xiusu saw that he had his back to the clouds, and his figure was extremely neat and clean, as if he had drawn a line with a majestic figure.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Well, of course I'm going to look for my nephew again."

He noticed that Ning Xiusu was walking slowly, and turned back and said:

"My Lord, the Great Villain, as the saying goes, help others to the end, can you please..."

Ning Xiusu looked at him lazily again: "What?"

"Come with me to find Ayu, and then we can go to the capital together, okay?"

He just said it casually, but Ning Xiu fell silent unexpectedly.

"it is good."

Hua Jianbai suddenly stepped up to him, looking at him intently, as if hiding something strange.

"No way, Your Majesty, why do you agree to everything? If I go to jailbreak, will you agree? Aren't you afraid that I will implicate you?"

He replied boredly: "So, try to be as perfect as possible and don't get me into trouble."

Hua Jianbai frowned and went up to the dormitory, with a flower on the corner of his mouth: "But you were just a tool, why are you so nervous?"

"First, you're telling lies with your eyes open, and second, well..."

Ning Xiusu took out the wonderful thing in his arms.

"This thing is too cheerful."

"Oh."

Hua Jianbai shrugged and changed the subject: "It's getting dark, let's go down the mountain quickly."

As the sky darkened in the evening, Coral Alley was brightly lit, with countless stalls offering a wide variety of delicious snacks.

This is the famous mermaid market in Youzhou City, where the moon soup is particularly delicious. Deep-sea shells are cooked with corn and venison, and the soup is clear and mellow.

Hua Jianbai was in a good mood and took Ning Xiusu along to eat and drink.

Although Ning Xiusu had eaten a lot of delicacies on a daily basis, he rarely went to the mermaid market to eat and indulge.

Hanami Baiyan said that he had collected a list of snacks and delicacies from the entire Youzhou City and he must try them all with him.

Ning Xiusu wasn't very interested in visiting the market, but Hua Jianbai was in high spirits.

"Big villain, come quickly!"

Hanamibai stopped beside a stall selling hand-made fish balls and waved at him.

He hasn't even gotten the peach blossom yogurt from the stall here, but he's already eating it over there...

Ning Xiusu shook his head and walked towards him. With a sharp "swoosh" sound, a hidden weapon cut through the air and shot towards his back.

He felt something and was horrified. At the critical moment, the chopsticks in Hua Jianbai's hand slipped out.

A shadow flew by at an extremely fast speed and collided with it, and both of them fell into the mud at their feet.

Ning Xiusu was still in shock when he saw a dark shadow flash past on the roof.

"It's Yanren."

Hua Jianbai recognized that this person looked very familiar. Isn’t this the one who shot Qiao’er?

He pointed at the dark shadow on the eaves and cursed, "Damn it! I let you get away last time, but you won't be so lucky this time!"

After saying that, he threw away the uneaten fish balls and flew forward.

"Hey...you haven't paid yet."

The stall owner couldn't pull Hua Jianbai away, so he grabbed his fellow traveler Ning Xiusu. He had already spent all his money, so he had to take off his jade ring as collateral.

Seeing the direction the killer fled, he knew he couldn't catch up with him no matter what, so he had to go back to Zuifeng Pavilion first.

Ning Xiusu was thinking, but when he raised his foot, he stepped on something, which was the hidden weapon just now.

When I picked it up and observed it, I found that it was shaped like a needle and as thin as a willow leaf, with the three-flower mark engraved on it.

It feels slightly cold and is actually thousand-year-old black iron.

This black iron should only be found in the Forbidden Palace's armory, and is not available to the common people in Dayan.

He put it in his sleeve pocket.
