Chapter Forty-Nine p3
Yu Zhao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: “My last mission was to assassinate Zhang Yan, the owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion. Now that he’s still alive, I naturally can’t give up easily!“
Bo Chi: “…”
She still didn’t forget to finish her work even after falling to this point.
A career-minded worker was truly terrifying.
Bo Chi couldn’t persuade Yu Zhao, so she could only follow her to the side of the pool worriedly.
Yu Zhao also knew that there were many dangers in going into the water this time, so she held her hand and didn’t let go. After giving some detailed instructions, Yu Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the reluctance and hesitation in her heart, and said decisively: “I’m going.“
Bo Chi opened her mouth, but didn’t try to stop her again, and said softly: “I’ll wait for you here.“
Yu Zhao’s heart moved, and she lowered her head as if by a ghost, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
When Bo Chi looked up at her in surprise, she had already turned her face away with red ears, and plunged into the water as if fleeing.
The fish were startled and scattered. Bo Chi touched her forehead, inexplicably blushing as well.
After staying in place for a while, the temperature on her face went down, and she began to worry about Yu Zhao again, muttering to the system: {Is Yu Zhao still alive? Why is there no movement underwater? Can’t the teleportation fee be cheaper? I’m a veteran employee!}
The system said in a weary tone: {This is a martial arts world, it’s against common sense to teleport you out of the cliff. It’s not the same concept as surviving a fall from a cliff! Your partner has already swum halfway, and she’s still alive. Instead of worrying about her safety, why don’t you think about how you’re going to get out after she comes and goes freely?}
The system’s words woke Bo Chi up, and she suddenly felt her heart crack: “Oh right, I’ve only been practicing medicine during this time, and I haven’t had time to practice martial arts at all. Yu Zhao can get out, but it doesn’t mean I can get out too!“
There was no greater joy or sorrow than this. Bo Chi was completely dejected. When Yu Zhao surfaced happily, she only felt distressed and depressed, not happy at all.
Yu Zhao keenly noticed this, and asked directly in confusion: “We can get out now, aren’t you happy?“
Bo Chi wiped her hair and said faintly: “I’m happy for you.“
Yu Zhao frowned, and said without thinking: “If we’re going out, we’ll go out together. If you don’t want to leave, I won’t leave either.“
Bo Chi looked at her in both surprise and emotion: “Then what about your work? Don’t you want to kill Zhang Yan?“
Yu Zhao’s eyes darkened slightly, and she shook her head: “Even if I get my master’s inheritance by chance, I don’t think I can kill Zhang Yan. He is the owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion. On the surface, he runs brothels and does those romantic things, but in reality, he secretly takes in a large number of orphans and beggars, and every year he extracts those with good bones and refines them into flesh and blood pills to cultivate his evil arts.“
“This act is inhumane, but it makes his cultivation improve rapidly. Even if I cultivate hard for another ten years, I’m afraid I still won’t be able to kill him.” Yu Zhao’s voice gradually turned cold, and a chilling killing intent flashed in her eyes. At this moment, she seemed to have become the sinister and cold-blooded killer from half a year ago again.
But who wouldn’t feel chills and anger after hearing such cruel things?
At least Bo Chi was very angry, and cursed: “This unscrupulous beast! He actually uses this method to cultivate demonic skills!“
How did this kind of person become the male lead?
Bo Chi was angry and asked the system in her mind.
The system said nonchalantly: {Haven’t you read any dark novels for men? There are many who believe that killing one person is evil, but killing a city makes you a hero. Extremely selfish male leads are everywhere, just get used to it.}
How could she get used to this kind of thing?
The light words on paper were rivers of blood in reality.
Bo Chi would never get used to this kind of evil. She only slammed the ground angrily and said to Yu Zhao: “After you go out, cultivate hard, and you must stop this demon Zhang Yan from continuing to do bad things!“
Yu Zhao frowned and asked in confusion: “So… why won’t you come with me?“
Speaking of her sadness, Bo Chi wanted to cry: “I can’t go, I don’t have internal strength, and I can’t hold my breath. I’ll drown as soon as I go down.“
Yu Zhao was stunned, her eyelashes suddenly trembling rapidly, and she whispered: “I… I have a way to take you out.“
Bo Chi’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly leaned over and asked: “What way?“
Yu Zhao pursed her lips, her gaze falling on her face, intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over her lips, and said hoarsely: “If you don’t mind… I can give you air in the water.“
Bo Chi was surprised: “Then you won’t have any air yourself?“
Yu Zhao shook her head, and said concisely: “I have internal strength, it’s nothing to be afraid of, but I’m worried about you…“
“Then it’s okay!” As soon as Bo Chi heard that she would be fine, she immediately agreed: “I don’t mind, it’s just troubling you. By the way, should we bring these things? They will be very heavy in the water, right?“
She chattered about checking the items, and didn’t hear Yu Zhao’s response for a long time, so she turned around blankly: “Why aren’t you talking?“
Yu Zhao didn’t say anything, just looked at her for a long time. Seeing her clear eyes, without any shyness of a girl, she said in a low voice: “Except for the secret manual, we don’t need to bring anything else.“
Bo Chi nodded in understanding: “I think so too. Then are we leaving now?“
Yu Zhao looked at her, seeing her happy and excited, she couldn’t help but sigh with a complicated mood, put the secret manual into a waterproof animal skin bag, and said dejectedly: “Let’s go.“
The sound of splashing water rang out again, and the two figures disappeared from the bottom of the cliff where they had lived for half a year.
The cold pool water was still biting cold. Although Bo Chi was mentally prepared, she still shrank into Yu Zhao’s arms when she jumped in.
Yu Zhao restrained all her emotions, calmly hugged Bo Chi’s waist, and calmly swam towards the source with her.
Bo Chi didn’t want her to be distracted, and kept trying to hold her breath, but her lung capacity was only so big, and she couldn’t help but blow bubbles halfway through.
Yu Zhao didn’t react when she saw a string of small bubbles out of the corner of her eye. When she lowered her head and saw that it was Bo Chi blowing them, she couldn’t help but laugh, and without even having time to feel any ambiguous emotions, she lowered her head and gave her a breath.
Once there was a first time, there were countless times after that.
Until they surfaced from the source of the cold pool, Bo Chi’s lips had turned an alluring bright red. Yu Zhao glanced at them, but didn’t feel any lust. Her attention was completely attracted by her pale face, and she frowned and infused internal force into her.
The internal force circulated in Bo Chi’s body, not only drying her clothes, but also giving her face some color.
Bo Chi calmed down, thanked Yu Zhao, and then looked around curiously.
They had already left the bottom of the cliff, and were now in the center of a dense forest.
The sounds of birds chirping could be heard among the lush trees, and occasionally the figures of small animals running could be seen.
Bo Chi looked up at Yu Zhao: “Where are we going now? Directly follow Zhang Yan and destroy the evil things he does?“
Yu Zhao shook her head: “The one who accepted this task was Eleven, my task is to kill Zhang Yan.“
Bo Chi said: “I don’t think you can kill him now.“
Yu Zhao nodded: “I think so too. The most urgent thing is to find a place to settle you. When you’re safe, I will contact the tower master and discuss with him how to continue assassinating Zhang Yan.“
Bo Chi blinked: “A place to settle down… Why don’t you come back to the Medicine Valley with me? The terrain of our Medicine Valley is hidden, with a maze outside and poisonous creatures inside. Without someone to lead the way, ordinary people can’t get in at all. If you stay in the Medicine Valley, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and you don’t have to worry about being chased by Zhang Yan’s people, and you can also meet my master and learn a trick or two to protect yourself!“
The more Bo Chi thought about it, the more perfect it seemed, and she asked excitedly: “What do you think of this idea?“
Yu Zhao was stunned for a while and didn’t speak. After being tugged by Bo Chi’s sleeve, she muttered: “Meet your master? Then shouldn’t I, shouldn’t I prepare some gifts?“
As she spoke, she reached into her arms, fumbled for a long time, took out a money bag, took out a little bit of broken silver from it, and then shook it hopefully.
After confirming that this was all the money she had, she said stiffly: “Why don’t we go see your master later…“
At least, wait until she took a few more missions, killed a few more people, and got some silver…
Bo Chi chuckled: “You’re a guest when you come to our house, we should be the ones treating you, why do you need to spend any money?”
She stuffed the broken silver back into Yu Zhao’s simple money bag, put her arm around her and walked out, smiling: “Don’t overthink it, my master and the others are very easy to get along with. Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll take you to see them and you’ll know.”
After the two of them left the dense forest, they bought a horse and rode day and night for a few days, finally arriving at the Medicine Valley on the third day.
With Bo Chi leading the way, neither the maze nor the poisonous creatures were obstacles. They smoothly entered the depths of the Medicine Valley and came to a row of bamboo houses.
Just as Bo Chi and Yu Zhao intertwined their fingers, happily preparing to introduce her to the people living in the houses, a slender figure suddenly stopped not far away, her eyes red with surprise: “Sister Chi’er!”
Hearing her name, Bo Chi subconsciously turned her head to look.
Their eyes met, the girl’s hand loosened, and the medicine basket full of precious herbs fell to the ground. She rushed over regardless, hugged Bo Chi tightly, and sobbed with joy: “Sister Chi’er, Lan Yi knew you were still alive!“
Bo Chi, under Yu Zhao’s death stare: “Huh?!“
