Chapter Sixty-Two p1
Her clothes half-undone, the red dress alluring. Bo Chi posed seductively on the bed, thinking about how to seduce Yu Zhao later, when she suddenly realized that there were only a few wisps of yin energy left in her body. If she didn’t replenish it quickly, she might turn back into a ghost without a physical body in a few minutes!
Bo Chi’s face paled in shock, and she immediately jumped out of bed, ignoring her exposed body, and wanted to run outside.
Just as she reached the door and before she could open it, Yu Zhao pushed the door open and came in from outside, holding a basin of water in her hand.
Seeing Bo Chi standing behind the door, wearing a thin and transparent dress that revealed the pattern of her dudou, Yu Zhao’s eyes instantly darkened a bit, she subconsciously licked her lips, then looked away, and said hoarsely: “There’s no need for Chi Niang to go this far, I’m not someone who is greedy for beauty, you—“
Before she could finish speaking, Bo Chi lowered her head and tried to run out from under her arm.
Yu Zhao’s movements were faster than her thoughts. She grabbed Bo Chi’s arm, pulled her back forcefully, and said angrily: “How can you run outside casually in this dress! What if someone sees you?!“
Bo Chi was stunned, her little head filled with anxiety and guilt, and she suddenly realized something. She turned her head, grabbed the nearest gray robe, hurriedly wrapped it around herself, and said: “Let me borrow your clothes first, I’ll wash them and return them to you later.“
Seeing her so anxious, Yu Zhao suppressed the various emotions in her heart, frowned, and said: “What’s wrong? Did you encounter something difficult to solve?“
Bo Chi nodded like a pecking chicken: “Yes, yes, yes.“
Yu Zhao’s expression turned serious, and she immediately said: “Then I’ll go with you to solve it.“
Bo Chi’s eyes widened: “Huh? No, no, no, it’s not a big deal, I just want to go find Jin Xi… to play with Jin Xi!“
Yu Zhao’s face gradually darkened, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. After a long time, she finally spoke, sour and jealous: “If I didn’t stop you, you would go find her in this red dress?“
Bo Chi hurriedly shook her head and explained: “I was just too anxious, so I didn’t pay attention to this.“
“Anxious about what?” Yu Zhao pressed relentlessly: “Anxious to go play with Jin Xi? Anxious to see if Jin Xi has woken up? Anxious to get close to Jin Xi?“
Bo Chi opened her mouth, but before she could answer, a voice came from the door next door, asking weakly: “Well… I think I heard my name, are you talking about me?“
Bo Chi’s eyes lit up, she pushed Yu Zhao away and ran towards Jin Xi, her beautiful face full of joy, in stark contrast to Yu Zhao, who was pushed away.
Looking at Bo Chi, who was happily rushing towards her, and then at Yu Zhao, whose eyes were cold and staring at her as if she was staring at a dead person, Jin Xi’s face suddenly changed drastically, and she said in horror: “Don’t come over!“
Of course, Bo Chi didn’t listen to her, and rushed over to give her a bear hug. After plucking a large amount of wool, she retracted her hand with satisfaction, and greeted: “Good morning.“
Jin Xi said with a trembling voice: “Go, good morning… Good morning my ass! You and Master Yu are having a fight, why are you dragging me into this!“
She was extremely frustrated. It was fine that she was forced to know that these two were having an affair, but why did she have to be the innocent middleman! She just wanted to hug their thighs!
Bo Chi exclaimed, and said strangely: “What fight? Ah Zhao and I are on good terms.“
As she spoke, she even turned around and smiled sweetly at Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao was silent for a moment, snorted coldly, entered the room, and closed the door with a bang.
Bo Chi was confused: “What’s wrong with her?“
Jin Xi: “…Probably angered by you.“
Bo Chi didn’t believe that her wife would be so petty. She stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, but Jin Xi was afraid that she would say something inappropriate and she would be the one to take the blame, so she dragged her into her room and said: “We’re leaving today, and we don’t know if there will be a place to rest on the road. You should prepare more dry food and clothes, so we won’t run out when we need them.“
Bo Chi said casually: “It’s okay, I don’t eat much.“
Jin Xi chattered: “You don’t eat much, but your Master Yu Zhao eats a lot… And, how did you suddenly get together with Master Yu? And you’re even wearing Master Yu’s clothes everywhere, you said you were a decent person before!“
Bo Chi coughed lightly: “Cough, it was an accident, little children shouldn’t ask too many questions… By the way, did you see anyone touch my and Yu Zhao’s bowls yesterday morning?“
She couldn’t understand why such a perfect plan had failed, so she could only ask Jin Xi unwillingly, to see if the other party knew anything.
A guilty look suddenly appeared in Jin Xi’s eyes, but she wouldn’t admit that she had switched the bowls just to eat the one with more porridge, so she said firmly: “I didn’t see it, I don’t know anything!“
Bo Chi didn’t suspect anything, nodded, and continued to ponder this unsolved mystery.
They stayed at the inn for a while, and after having breakfast, they left the city, carrying two bamboo baskets, and walked towards the capital.
Yu Zhao silently followed them.
She originally wanted to say goodbye today, stay away from the two of them, and leave alone.
However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes. After having sex with Bo Chi half-willingly, she found that she could no longer be distant and restrained, and leave in time.
Thinking that outside the city, there were bones everywhere, demons and ghosts rampant, and wild beasts running wild, she couldn’t let go of Bo Chi. If the other party disappeared from her sight for a while, she would couldn’t help but worry.
The strong worry made her unable to say goodbye, and in the end, she still followed Bo Chi and set off together, and also made two plans in her heart – if the ghost came after her first, she would immediately separate from Bo Chi. If the ghost hadn’t appeared after they arrived in the capital, then she would settle Bo Chi down before leaving.
Yu Zhao was meticulous and thoughtful, but Bo Chi didn’t know anything about this. Instead, she was thinking about other things – Always plucking wool from Jin Xi alone was both troublesome and not enough, she had to find a few more fat sheep, and take action on each of them!
If it were a time of peace and prosperity, Bo Chi might not be able to find people on the road, especially women. But they happened to be in an era of corrupt government, rampant demons and ghosts, and people struggling to survive. Ordinary people were just trying to survive, and gender didn’t really matter.
When she was in the city, Bo Chi not only went shopping and played around, but also carefully observed the surrounding environment, and found that many women chose to go out and do business. These people had to support their families, and naturally wouldn’t leave with Bo Chi. So it wasn’t until now, after leaving the city, that Bo Chi started to look around, her eyes burning as she searched for lone female figures.
Her behavior was too obvious. Not only did Yu Zhao look at her a few more times, but even Jin Xi wiped her sweat, walked to her side, and wondered: “Chi Niang, what are you looking for?“
Bo Chi said frankly: “Looking for girls.“
Jin Xi: “???”
These words… what was the difference between them and the words of a playboy visiting a brothel?
And in this wilderness, where would there be girls??
Jin Xi couldn’t understand what Bo Chi was thinking. She only knew… the gaze behind her was so sharp, the eyes staring at the top of their heads were so cold, and this killing intent seemed to be mixed with jealousy…
In short, it was very dangerous!
Jin Xi shivered, and quickly said: “Chi Niang, don’t joke, there are no girls in this remote place.“
Bo Chi looked at her with a strange expression: “You think of white arms when you see short sleeves, I said I was looking for girls, and you think I’m looking for prostitutes.“
Jin Xi was confused: “What do you mean? Didn’t you say you were looking for girls?“
Bo Chi said with disgust: “You pervert, the girls I’m looking for are not that kind of girls, but – hey, yes, that kind of girl ahead!“
She sharply noticed a thin and small woman lying on the path ahead, and immediately said excitedly: “Let’s go, let’s go pick up a fat sheep!“
Jin Xi couldn’t understand her meaning even more, and could only follow in confusion.
After taking two steps, Bo Chi was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the person behind her. She turned around in confusion: “What’s wrong?“
Yu Zhao’s expression was not good, and her tone was also very fierce, but her words were full of care: “This person might be a demon in disguise. If you want to save her, hide behind me, and I’ll check first.“
Bo Chi snapped out of her excitement of ‘catching a fat sheep’, and grabbed Yu Zhao’s sleeve with her backhand: “How can I let you stand in front alone? What if this is a trap, wouldn’t you be in danger?“
Yu Zhao hummed, and deliberately said: “Then should we bypass her? Ignore her?“
Bo Chi shook her head decisively: “No, no, we still have to save people.“
After going back and forth, Yu Zhao finally showed an impatient look, pointed to Jin Xi, who was doing nothing, and said decisively: “Then she and I will scout ahead, and you follow behind, don’t run around.“
Jin Xi, the onlooker: “???”
No, why was she being blamed for something she didn’t do?
She was just a weak woman with no power, and she also wanted to be properly protected!
Jin Xi looked at Yu Zhao with pleading eyes, hoping that she would change her mind.
However, Yu Zhao didn’t even look at her, pressed Bo Chi’s head and gave a few more cold instructions, and then strode towards the woman on the path.
Jin Xi could only follow with a sad face.
After coming to the woman’s side, Yu Zhao took out the spirit-seeking compass from her arms, lightly tapped it in four directions with her fingertips, and the pointer on the compass suddenly turned.
Bo Chi peeked twice, and found that the pointer always slightly paused in her direction, so she hurriedly took some more yin energy from Jin Xi and wrapped her soul tightly.
The pointer on the compass turned a few times, and finally returned to its starting point, indicating that there were no demons or ghosts within a few miles. Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, Bo Chi also breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Zhao’s face remained unchanged. After putting away the compass, she drew her peach wood sword and suddenly attacked the woman.
Just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce the woman’s forehead, the woman still remained motionless like a corpse. Yu Zhao finally stopped the sword at the critical moment, sheathed her sword, and said: “She’s just an ordinary refugee.“
Bo Chi and Jin Xi’s worried hearts relaxed, and they quickly half-dragged and half-carried the woman to under a tree, feeding her some water and dry food.
After a while, the woman woke up in a daze, chased after the food and ate almost greedily for a while, then calmed down, looked at Jin Xi in front of her, and said gratefully: “Thank you, young lady, for saving my life.“
Jin Xi smiled, her voice rough and heroic, like a strong man: “You’re welcome!“
Woman: “…”
Looking at the woman’s expression of ‘Am I still not awake‘, Bo Chi suppressed a smile, and asked: “What’s your name, miss? Why are you alone in this wilderness?“
The woman followed the voice and looked at Bo Chi and Yu Zhao, her eyes instantly showing a look of amazement, and then she said timidly: “This concubine is Liu Qinger. I was originally going to the capital with my master to escape the chaos. On the way, I couldn’t stand the bumps of the carriage, and vomited a few times. I also cherished the water and didn’t use it to bathe, so my master disliked Qinger, and kicked Qinger out of the carriage.“
She smiled bitterly, and said softly: “This concubine didn’t have any food or water with me, and barely made it here before collapsing on the road, unable to go any further. If it weren’t for you, ladies… benefactors, this concubine probably wouldn’t have made it.“
——She still couldn’t figure out Jin Xi’s gender, and changed the word ‘young lady’ to ‘benefactor’.
