Chapter Fifty-One p3
Yu Zhao casually put her arm around her waist, looked down at her, her eyes filled with tenderness: “Then I’ll catch more and let you watch them all night.“
After she finished speaking, she stood up and led Bo Chi towards the top of the mountain. Along the way, whenever they encountered twinkling green fireflies, she quickly caught them and put them in the small bag that Bo Chi had temporarily made with a silk handkerchief.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they had also caught a lot of fireflies. Through the thin silk handkerchief, they could clearly see a faint light inside, beautiful and dreamy.
Bo Chi admired it happily for a while, and then sneezed from the mountain wind.
Yu Zhao no longer believed her sophistry this time, and insisted on taking her back to rest.
Bo Chi couldn’t do anything, so she could only say repeatedly: “Wait, wait, wait, let me do one last thing.“
Yu Zhao raised her eyebrows: “What is it?“
“Release them!” Bo Chi raised the fireflies, her eyes clearly reluctant, after all, this was, to some extent, also a gift from Yu Zhao: “But fireflies ultimately belong to nature, we can catch them and look at them, but we should release them when we leave.“
She said reluctantly, and Yu Zhao thought for a while, touched her head, curled her lips and smiled: “I’ll buy you a lotus lantern when we return to the city in two days, I guarantee it will be brighter than the fireflies.“
Bo Chi blinked, the reluctance in her heart dissipated, and turned into happiness again: “Okay!”
Without any regrets, Bo Chi loosened the silk handkerchief and released all the fireflies.
The faint green light began to scatter, and the mountains and plains were filled with this twinkling light. The sky above the mountaintop was not covered, and when she looked up, she could see the stars and the Milky Way hanging high, as if she could pick a small star with her hand.
Bo Chi thought of this, and suddenly tilted her head to look at Yu Zhao, her eyes curved, and said: “Do you think these fireflies look like stars falling into the mortal world?“
Yu Zhao was stunned, looked carefully, and nodded: “They do.“
“They say that you should make a wish when you see a shooting star, and then your wish will definitely come true.” Bo Chi’s slender, white fingers secretly hooked Yu Zhao’s hand, her eyelashes fluttering: “You gave me so many fireflies, so I’ll be merciful and grant you one wish. Tell me, what do you want the most right now?“
Yu Zhao pondered and asked: “Can you give me anything I want?“
Bo Chi hummed, and said hesitantly: “I will definitely give you what I can give you. If I can’t give you something… then you can change your wish, until I can give it to you!“
Yu Zhao chuckled lowly, held her secretly hooked little hand, coughed lightly twice, and said seriously: “I want you…“
Bo Chi’s face flushed, and just as she was about to say I do, she heard Yu Zhao continue: “…to stay away from other men and women.“
Bo Chi was stunned: “Huh?“
Yu Zhao thought she didn’t hear clearly, and repeated with a straight face: “I want you to stay away from other people, especially those who have bad intentions towards you, like Zhang Yan and Yun Lan Yi.“
Bo Chi fell into a long silence, tugged at the corner of her lips and asked: “So… why? Why don’t you like me being with them?“
Yu Zhao didn’t hear Bo Chi’s frantic hints, and said seriously: “Because they are not good people.“
Bo Chi looked at her with dead fish eyes: “Then are you a good person?“
Yu Zhao pursed her lips, stared at Bo Chi fixedly, and her voice was filled with tenderness: “I can be a good person for you.“
Similarly, Bo Chi didn’t hear the affection in Yu Zhao’s words, and said with a dejected little face: “Oh, thank you.“
After saying this, both of them became quiet at the same time.
The mountain wind was still blowing, but it no longer had the previous tenderness.
Yu Zhao noticed this, but couldn’t figure out what the problem was, so she could only ask hesitantly: “It’s getting late, shall we go back and rest?“
What could Bo Chi say? She could only hum in response, and silently went down the mountain with her.
After sleeping for a night, they put the events of that night behind them, and began to plan again intimately: “Let’s go to Jinling. Isn’t Zhang Yan in Jinling now? If he wants to do anything bad next, we can stop him immediately.“
Yu Zhao shook her head: “That’s not appropriate. He’s already on guard now. If he deliberately sets a trap, and we fall into it without thinking, wouldn’t all our efforts be wasted?“
Bo Chi pondered: “Then where should we go?“
Before Yu Zhao could figure it out, the Tiansha Tower’s carrier pigeon flew over and explained in detail the Martial Arts Alliance’s invitation to Zhang Yan to go to Drunken Moon Villa.
Bo Chi curiously snuggled into her arms, squeezed her head out to “peek” at the secret letter, and when she saw that the end of the letter said that Zhang Yan’s head was worth one hundred thousand taels of gold, she immediately widened her almond eyes in surprise, and said in shock: “Th, this much money? No wonder you’ve been refusing to give up on chasing Zhang Yan, the bounty on his head alone can make us rich!“
Yu Zhao wanted to say that she wasn’t killing people to get rich, but seeing Bo Chi’s envious and admiring look, she swallowed her words, hummed, and said: “Yes, he’s very valuable.“
Bo Chi expressed her deep agreement, and said excitedly: “Then we don’t need to think about where to go anymore, let’s go directly to Drunken Moon Villa. After that strange person ‘Old Hero Shen’ in the villa exposes Zhang Yan, we’ll fish in troubled waters and rush up to take his head!“
Yu Zhao nodded hesitantly, but she had her own concerns. After all, Zhang Yan was not a fool, and it was impossible for him to just go to Drunken Moon Villa without doing anything and let his secret be exposed.
He either wouldn’t go, or if he did, he would definitely make foolproof plans.
Zhang Yan indeed thought so.
He was reluctant to part with the power and status he had gained, so he could only find another way, and began to think of ways to cover up the unusual smell after taking the flesh and blood pills.
There was still some time before the golden autumn month. Zhang Yan took this opportunity to secretly send people to assassinate Old Hero Shen, while using other people’s names to search for precious spices, intending to cover himself up.
Now was the critical time. If Old Hero Shen died accidentally, anyone would suspect that Zhang Yan did it. But compared to the series of problems that would arise after being discovered, Zhang Yan would rather take the risk and send people to assassinate Old Hero Shen desperately.
Under his ruthlessness, Old Hero Shen, who was over fifty years old, still couldn’t escape. He was slashed across the waist and abdomen by a killer, and almost cut in half.
The current owner of Drunken Moon Villa was Old Hero Shen’s disciple. Seeing that his master had suffered such a disaster for no reason, he couldn’t help but hate the person who had secretly sent the killer. At the same time, he felt sorry for his master, and ordered people to go to the Medicine Valley to ask the medical immortal to come out.
When Bo Chi and Yu Zhao arrived at Drunken Moon Villa with local specialties after traveling and sightseeing all the way, it was just when Old Hero Shen’s breathing was weak. The owner of the villa was guarding the side, his heart aching. Even though he knew that the people he sent hadn’t reached the Medicine Valley yet, he couldn’t help but urge repeatedly: “Send another group of people to the Medicine Valley! We must ask the medical immortal to come out! Tell her that I’m willing to give up the entire villa, just ask the medical immortal to save my master’s life!“
The old steward of the villa wiped his tears, sighed, and left. After a while, he pushed the door open with great joy and surprise: “Master, Master! Someone is asking to see you outside!“
The owner of the villa was annoyed, and said angrily without thinking: “I won’t see them! This villa master won’t see anyone now!“
Bo Chi, who was let in by the old steward, came in a beat later. Hearing this, before she could react, she saw the old steward say loudly: “Master, you’re confused, this is the medical immortal!“
As soon as he finished speaking, the villa owner suddenly turned his head, no longer showing his previous breakdown, and walked forward with hope: “Medical Immortal? Are you the medical immortal of the Medicine Valley?“
Perhaps because he was too anxious, he didn’t pay attention to propriety, and came up to grab Bo Chi’s hand.
A long sword suddenly appeared between the two, accurately slapping away the villa owner’s claws, making the villa owner hiss subconsciously, and look at Bo Chi’s back in surprise.
Yu Zhao then appeared, and stood silently beside Bo Chi. Although she didn’t speak, her actions clearly showed a protective posture, not allowing anyone to touch her girl.
Seeing this, the villa owner believed Bo Chi’s identity even more, and hurriedly made his request.
Bo Chi didn’t expect that she would come at such a coincidental time, and subconsciously glanced at Yu Zhao, signaling with her eyes – No wonder you didn’t let me buy candied dates in the south of the city, and brought me straight to Drunken Moon Villa. You already knew that Old Hero Shen’s life was in danger?
Yu Zhao: “…”
No, she just simply didn’t want Bo Chi to eat sweets, and then snuggle in her arms at night, whining about her toothache.
The straightforward killer only knew one thing, and didn’t know that as a healer, Bo Chi had many ways to solve the pain. The reason why she complained about a toothache was just a subtle way of wanting kisses and hugs.
She could only accept Bo Chi’s admiring gaze, acquiesce to Bo Chi’s misunderstanding, and say faintly: “We don’t need the villa master’s villa, we only hope that after Old Hero Shen recovers, he will expose Zhang’s hypocrisy in front of the world, and bring peace to the world.”
Bo Chi nodded: “Yes, that’s what we think. Okay, you move aside, let me see how Old Hero Shen’s injury is.”
