Chapter Sixty-Two p3
Yu Zhao took Bo Chi to a deserted place, suppressed her anger, and said in a deep voice: “What did you mean just now? That girl is so young, and you can still fall for her?!“
Bo Chi came to her senses, blinked her eyelashes, and said in surprise: “Are you jealous?“
Yu Zhao’s anger was choked by these words, she turned her face away in embarrassment: “No!“
Bo Chi didn’t believe her, threw herself at her, held her face persistently, and said excitedly: “You’re not jealous, but your words are so sour? Don’t turn your head away, let me see if you’ve fallen for me!“
Yu Zhao endured and endured, then used the same old trick, took out a spirit talisman, and slapped it on her head.
Bo Chi couldn’t move, and could only listen to her snorting coldly: “I just can’t stand you ruining a young person. If I find out that you’re too close to her… I’ll drive her away!“
Bo Chi: “…”
No, wait, she was the one doing bad things, why were you driving the little girl away?
Bo Chi was amused by Yu Zhao’s bottomless favoritism, and at the same time, she discovered the wealth code – So picking up people on the road was not only to collect food reserves, but also to stimulate this calm and collected exorcist.
Then if she really acted out a scene of changing her mind, would Yu Zhao break through her psychological defenses and concerns, and resolutely confess to her?
Okay, it was worth a try.
Bo Chi secretly became energetic. After the spirit talisman was removed, she didn’t make a fuss, glanced at Yu Zhao, and went to find Jin Xi.
Yu Zhao was still waiting for her to get angry with her. Seeing that she didn’t even want to pay attention to her now, she felt depressed and sulky.
Bo Chi pulled Jin Xi aside and secretly asked her to cooperate with her acting.
Jin Xi shook her head vigorously, her face full of fear: “Chi Niang, don’t harm me, I still want to go to Bailu Academy safely!“
Bo Chi tsked: “How is this harming you? I said it’s just acting, not for real.“
Jin Xi still refused frantically: “No, no, you find someone else to cooperate with you, anyway, I definitely won’t get involved in your affairs!“
Bo Chi had no choice, and turned to look at Liu Qinger.
Liu Qinger’s body trembled. Although her eyes were full of fear, she still showed a heroic expression, and said resolutely: “Qinger’s life was saved by my benefactor. Even if my benefactor asks Qinger to die, Qinger is willing!“
Bo Chi was speechless: “But I’m really not asking you to die, don’t look so determined to die, it’s really out of character…“
Neither of the two people who could help could help. Bo Chi could only regretfully suppress her thoughts of causing trouble, stayed in the deserted village for one night, and continued to set off for the capital the next day.
The world was in chaos now, and even the escort agencies were extremely cautious, refusing to let strangers follow except for acquaintances. The refugees had no choice but to walk towards the big cities. And among the thirty-six cities of the Qian Kingdom, the safest was definitely the capital, so those with perseverance and ability all headed towards the capital.
Bo Chi and the others walked all the way, and later encountered many men and women. Men were not on Bo Chi’s menu, so she didn’t take any of them in. And most of the women were with their relatives, and there were very few lone ones like Hua Ci and Liu Qinger. Bo Chi naturally wouldn’t force them to follow her.
After walking for more than half a month like this, they finally saw another city.
This city was more prosperous than the previous one, and there were also many beggars. The guards were not surprised by their dusty appearance, and after asking a few questions, they let them in.
After finding an inn, Bo Chi counted the number of people, and was about to ask for four rooms, when Jin Xi waved her hand and said: “Hua Ci is small and doesn’t take up much space, Qing’er and I can squeeze with her. Chi Niang, you, cough, you just make do and share a room with Master Yu.“
Bo Chi tilted her head to look at Yu Zhao: “Do you want to share a room with me?“
Yu Zhao’s expression had been gloomy during this time. After hearing these words, her expression softened, and just as she was about to speak, Hua Ci spoke first, hugged Bo Chi’s slender waist, and said persistently: “I want to share a room with Chi Niang.“
Jin Xi watched Yu Zhao’s face darken again, and hurriedly pulled Hua Ci and said: “What Chi Niang, you should call her big sister!“
Hua Ci stubbornly didn’t speak, and hugged Bo Chi without letting go.
Bo Chi touched her head: “Stop hugging, you’re going to make my waist thinner.“
Only then did Hua Ci reluctantly let go, her dark eyes fixed on Bo Chi, and she repeated: “I want to live with Chi Niang.“
Bo Chi didn’t answer, but continued to stare at Yu Zhao: “You haven’t answered my question yet, do you want to live with me?“
Yu Zhao glanced at Hua Ci indifferently, then looked at Bo Chi, and said mockingly: “Your clothes are all in the bamboo basket I’m carrying, if you don’t live with me, who else do you want to live with?“
Bo Chi blinked, and after a moment of realization, she shook her head and muttered: “A simple ‘yes’, and you made it so complicated. With your personality, I’m afraid you’ll never find a wife.“
Yu Zhao: “Hmph.“
Bo Chi asked the innkeeper for three rooms. As for Hua Ci’s impatience and protest, she didn’t take it to heart, only thinking that the child was having separation anxiety, and it would naturally disappear after a few days.
After separating from the three of them, Bo Chi first asked for a bucket of water, intending to take a good bath.
Yu Zhao’s gaze fell on her, and she said casually: “Half a month has passed, and you don’t seem to be dirty at all.“
Bo Chi shivered, afraid of her secret being discovered, and hurriedly said: “Who said I’m not dirty? It’s just covered by my clothes, you can’t see it.“
Yu Zhao raised her eyebrows, followed her words and stared at her slender figure, and said thoughtfully: “I don’t believe it.“
Bo Chi was frightened, afraid that she had already become suspicious, so she mustered up her courage and pretended to be generous: “Then, then I’ll take it off and show you!“
She unbuttoned her collar in front of Yu Zhao, then hesitantly took off her belt, and just as she was about to close her eyes and take off her dress, a knock suddenly came from the door, along with the waiter’s shout: “Guest officer, your hot water is here!“
Bo Chi was startled, and before she could react, Yu Zhao, whose eyes were deep just a moment ago, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the robe on the side and wrapped her tightly, then pushed her into the inner room, and said: “Come in.“
The waiters carried the bathtub in, put it behind the screen, and left.
Yu Zhao closed the door tightly, turned around and saw Bo Chi poking her head out, paused, and said: “You go take a bath.“
Bo Chi was surprised: “Aren’t you going to watch anymore?“
A helpless look flashed in Yu Zhao’s eyes: “I believe you, I won’t watch anymore.“
Bo Chi was relieved, and happily went behind the screen to bathe.
After a while, the room was filled with steam, and the sound of water was suggestive.
Yu Zhao stared at the book in her hand for a long time, and found that she couldn’t concentrate no matter what, so she could only put down the book, pick up the peach wood sword, and wipe the sword repeatedly to calm her mind and stabilize her Dao heart.
The spirit-seeking compass was placed on the table, and she wasn’t paying attention to it, but when she glanced at it from the corner of her eye, she accidentally found that the pointer on the compass seemed to have found something, and was slowly pointing behind the screen.
Yu Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, she suddenly stood up with the sword in her hand, pulled open the screen, and said in a deep voice: “Bo Chi!“
She originally thought that a ghost had come behind the screen, and that Bo Chi would be injured because of it. Who knew that with a heh, she saw Bo Chi sitting in the bathtub safe and sound, holding a lotus lantern in her hand, staring blankly at her… and the sword in her hand.
Yu Zhao was stunned, her mind not turning, and she subconsciously asked: “Where did the lotus lantern come from?“
Bo Chi muttered: “I bought it before, it’s been in the bamboo basket you’re carrying… Y-You, why are you holding a sword and calling me? Do you want to kill me?“
As she spoke, she became a little scared, and shrank into the water, only revealing half of her face.
Yu Zhao put the sword behind her back, and shook her head: “My sword only kills demons and ghosts, it won’t kill you. I just saw the compass pointing behind the screen, and I thought an evil spirit had appeared, so I acted rashly. If I accidentally scared you, I apologize.“
Bo Chi chuckled dryly, and didn’t speak.
She wasn’t just scared just now, she was almost scared out of her wits, and couldn’t maintain her human form.
Seeing Yu Zhao holding the sword with a murderous aura, shouting her name with killing intent, she really thought she was going to die.
Fortunately… fortunately, Yu Zhao didn’t suspect her.
Bo Chi secretly rejoiced in her heart, and didn’t dare to soak in the hot water anymore, so as not to let her yin energy dissipate faster.
She wrapped herself in her clothes and came out from behind the screen. When passing by the window, she glanced out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly said in surprise: “Yu Zhao! Look downstairs, there’s actually a girl selling herself to bury her father!“
She was surprised, and called out to Yu Zhao for a while, but didn’t get a response. She turned around in confusion – and then met Yu Zhao’s narrowed eyes.
Yu Zhao’s face was full of displeasure again, and she said coldly: “What, are you tempted?“
She was indeed tempted.
But Bo Chi didn’t dare to admit it in front of Yu Zhao, so she could only say calmly:
“No, no, I just think it’s novel. If you don’t like it, I’ll close the window.“
She did as she said, and closed the window tightly.
Yu Zhao’s eyebrows relaxed, easily coaxed, she stood up and said: “I’ll go ask the waiter to bring new hot water.“
Bo Chi quickly grabbed her: “I’ll go, I feel stuffy after taking a bath, and I just want to walk around. By the way, why did your compass point behind the screen just now? Did you find out the reason?“
When she mentioned this, Yu Zhao immediately frowned, and focused on the compass, shaking her head and saying: “I don’t know why it malfunctioned either.“
Bo Chi looked obedient: “Then you study it carefully, this is a matter of our lives, we can’t take it lightly. Don’t worry about the hot water, I’ll go ask.“
Yu Zhao could only nod, and said softly: “Thank you.“
Bo Chi smiled sweetly, and as soon as she went out, her expression changed, and she immediately lifted her skirt and ran straight towards the girl selling herself to bury her father on the street.
