One month later. . . . . .
When the warm sunshine shined on Ziyang's face through the window screen, he stretched out on the bed, rubbed his eyes, and sat on the bed with his back against the wall.
For more than a month, apart from doing business with Yaorou, he only watched her embroidery and inquired about the situation in the town to see if any strange people had entered the town.
But unfortunately, no useful news was received, and since the caravan left last time, it has never been to the town again.
Although Zi Yang was not sure that the disappearance of Xuan Yi and Jia Juesheng was related to the caravan, judging from their actions, they came here to find something.
He frowned slightly and said to himself: "With so many forces coming here to look for it, what is the purpose of that thing?"
First there was Yingluo, then the group of sword cultivators he met, and the group of bald men with eagle eyes. Xuan Yi and Jia Juesheng found the man carrying the heavy sword.
The purpose of their coming here should be the same. As for whose hands the treasure fell into, he was not sure yet.
But he can be sure that even if Yingluo didn't get the treasure, she would still gain something, and the gain would be quite rich.
Even in such a remote place, so many forces can be attracted. Once you go to a lively and prosperous place, the competition will be more intense and dangers are everywhere.
Crunch!
As the door opened, Zi Yang, who was thinking about something, came back to his senses and looked at the door.
I saw Yaorou dressed in white walking in with fragrant food. She was dressed simply, with three thousand black hair tied up. She didn't put on makeup, and she was dressed very conservatively.
Although she didn't have gorgeous clothes or pink makeup, it was difficult to conceal her peerless appearance and her seductive and graceful figure.
She walked straight to the table with the food in hand and said as she walked: "It's getting late, get up and eat quickly."
Zi Yang smiled happily and replied gently: "Put the food on the table first. Come over here. I have something to say to you."
Seeing how mysterious he was, Yaorou walked over with deep suspicion, frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"
As soon as she arrived at the bed, before she could sit down, Zi Yang grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Yaorou lay on his lap, with the back of her neck resting on his arm, and said slightly panicked: "What are you doing this early in the morning?"
Ziyang caressed her fair and moist cheeks and said with a smile: "I find that you have become more and more charming recently. To be honest, I can't live without you these days when I am with you."
She smiled lightly. She had already thought of parting, so there was no look of disappointment on her face.
She stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said carefully: "Don't say that. The whereabouts of several of your team members are unknown. You have been here with me for so long and I am very satisfied. You should also go find them." Looking for them."
"Did I hear you correctly? You actually took the initiative to drive me away?" After hearing her words, Ziyang began to let go of his worries. What he was most worried about was that Yaorou wouldn't let him go. Now he can hear it with his own ears. He was still very happy when she said such words.
She rested her head on Ziyang's arm and said carefully: "People must know how to be content. What's more, you are not just me. You have companions and your own team. They need you, and I can't keep occupying you." "
"Old woman, I'm really pleased that you are so sensible." As he said that, his hand touched the ribbon tied around Yaorou's waist.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it and said, "Don't make trouble."
Ziyang pushed her jade hand away, untied her ribbon, and said, "Are you making trouble? I'm not making trouble with you."
Hearing this, Yaorou immediately stood up and tied the ribbon around her waist, and said with a panicked expression, "No! I've been feeling a little unwell these past few days."
Seeing that she refused to touch him, Zi Yang stared at her for a while and said, "I'm not talking about you. You are a strong man in the demigod realm, but your body is too weak, right?"
"Have you been sick recently? Do you want to see a doctor? I always feel that you are a little different from before."
She hurriedly replied: "It's okay, it's okay. It will be fine in a few days. You don't have to worry about me."
After Ziyang got out of bed, she opened the door directly. She urged: "Why are you going? Come over for dinner quickly."
He turned around and looked at Yaorou who stood up from the bench, and said with a smile: "You eat first, and I'll make some ginger soup for you."
When Yaorou heard this, she was extremely happy, but she still said, "The food on the table is getting cold. Let's eat first."
"I'm a grown man who eats hot or cold food all the same. Eat it quickly. When you're full, I can make ginger soup for you." After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
She looked at Zi Yang's back and smiled contentedly until he completely disappeared from her sight.
Not long after, Zi Yang came over with a bowl of steaming ginger soup. After placing the ginger soup in front of Yaorou, he began to sit down and eat with her.
Zi Yang took a few bites and warned, "Hey, you have to take care of yourself when I'm not around you."
Yaorou looked at him with a smile and said, "Shouldn't I be the one to say this?"
He slowly swallowed the food in his mouth and patiently persuaded: "You? Let's forget it. You don't even know how to make some ginger soup when you're not feeling well. Once I leave, no one will take care of you."
"Listen to me, be kind to yourself, and put aside the cultivation matters for now."
Yaorou paused and said directly: "The Western Continent is very chaotic. Although you can't feel the threat here, as long as you go to a prosperous place, all kinds of strong sects emerge in endlessly. What if I don't have any strength? To protect you?"
Zi Yang held her weak hand and said gently and considerately: "Don't think too much, don't think I'm not as strong as you now, but I will definitely surpass you in the future, so in order not to distract me, you should also Keep your mind on yourself.”
"Pay more attention to your body and don't practice day and night when I'm not around."
"As for me, I came here from the Northern Continent and have experienced so much life and death. I will not fall down on this road before I go back."
She nodded very obediently and said in a soft tone: "It's all up to you. If you don't let me practice, I won't practice. I'm afraid that you won't recognize me when we meet again."
Zi Yang smiled and said, "How could that be? Your figure has not changed at all during this period. I'm really curious, why don't you gain weight after eating so much?"
Yaorou smiled charmingly and replied naturally: "Of course it has something to do with cultivation."
"Cultivation is practice, just don't tire yourself out." Suddenly, he changed the topic and said seriously: "Also! After I leave, don't follow me secretly."
As soon as he said this, Yaorou lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, "You have to understand that you can't protect me forever. There are some things that I have to face alone."
"After we separate, you'd better go back to the Northern Continent. It won't be long before I will go back to find you."
“Remember, wear a face covering wherever you go from now on.”
Yaorou looked at him helplessly and said faintly: "I know, I know, wear a mask, I don't know how many times you have to say it a day."
Just as Ziyang was about to speak, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "Okay, okay, I'll put it on after I finish eating."
He picked up the ginger soup on the table, handed it to Yaorou, and urged: "Drink it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Yaorou took it with a smile and said softly: "You still have some conscience and know how to care for others."
After taking a few sips of the ginger soup, she looked at Ziyang with the bowl in her hand and asked, "Where do you plan to go next?"
Zi Yang frowned slightly and said solemnly: "I'm warning you, don't follow me. Besides, I won't tell you where I go."
Yaorou rolled her eyes at him and said, "Oh, I'm just asking casually. Why are you nervous? You've told me clearly, how can I still protect you secretly?"
He nodded, stood up and came to the dressing table, picked up an embroidery picture on it, turned to look at Yaorou and said with a smile: "By the way, I like the mandarin duck you embroidered playing in the water very much, why don't you give it to me Me?"
She said indifferently: "Isn't it just a picture? Just take it away if you want."
Ziyang put away the mandarin duck picture embroidered by Yaorou, sat back down with a smile, and deliberately looked very relaxed.
Yaorou specifically warned: "Zi Yang, this is the Western Continent. Don't fight with others if you have nothing to do. You can bear it as long as you can."
"The most important thing is that you'd better stay out of your own business and don't get involved in things that have nothing to do with you."
He hesitated for a while, then said calmly: "I'd better do things according to my own personality. Once I miss something, when I think about it again, I always feel that I was too heartless."
"It's inevitable that you'll get angry if you meddle in other people's business, but if you don't, I'll scold myself in my heart."
"But don't worry, as long as it's not something that I can't stand, I won't even look at it."
Yaorou sighed softly, shook her head and said helplessly: "I really can't do anything about you. If you want to take care of it, just take care of it, but don't risk your life."
———
As night fell, a group of people wearing night clothes and black masks hurried past the door of the pub.
There were a large number of them, about thirty of them, and they marched toward the town in a mighty manner.
Seeing this scene, Erhei's expression changed instantly. He walked up to Dahuang who was looking through the account book, pushed him with his elbow, and whispered: "Hey, do you think who are they? It doesn't feel right. It’s like being kind.”
Dahuang looked up and whispered: "Don't worry, don't ask, don't look. Whether someone is a good person or not is none of your business."
At this moment, a man walked in from the door, threw the wine bottle in his hand to the two of them, and said, "Brother, bring me a bottle of wine."
Erhei caught the jug and looked at Dahuang beside him in a panic. He said, "What do you want me to do? Hurry up and get someone some wine."
As soon as he said this, Erhei let out an ooh and hurriedly filled up the wine bottle, then respectfully handed it to the man in black in front of him.
The man left several Origin Stones on the table beside him, took the wine bottle from his hand, and left without saying a word.
