For Chu Qi, although the unexpected attack by the sand thieves prevented her from upgrading her main clothing in a short time, the unexpected appearance in front of Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou this time made her reap the benefits. A lot of impression value.
She made up for her shortfall almost overnight.
Back to the Hua Family Caravan, that night they all witnessed with their own eyes how a rusty sword turned into a human form and then back into a rusty sword, and then was picked up by their young master.
Therefore, although they seemed to have calmed down on the surface the next day, in fact they had been secretly looking at Huamanlou, or more precisely, at the rusty sword hanging on his waist.
Especially Lao Bu, he would hang around Huamanlou whenever he had free time. Looking at his posture, I really wanted to sacrifice him with his sword.
In response to such a scorching gaze, Lu Xiaofeng just covered her mouth and snickered aside, while Hua Manlou knew it but could do nothing about it. He only occasionally subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword and fumbled with it subconsciously with his fingers.
Ever since Chu Qi turned back into the Rusty Sword, Lu Xiaofeng had tried his best to get her to change back again, but it was of no use.
If he wanted to use some evil tricks, but Hua Manlou kept a close watch and never thought of a way.
But he was not discouraged. Once he found an opportunity, he would take the rusty sword into his hand, and then he would mutter small words to the sword. Once he opened his mouth, he would not stop talking, and he would go straight to the beginning like Tang Monk reciting a tight spell. There were so many things going on in her mind that she couldn't catch up on her sleep peacefully.
So that night, when the moon just came out, when everyone was getting ready to eat and took off the rusty sword and put it in the tent, Chu Qi, who didn't get enough rest and simply broke the jar, transformed back into his human form, opened the curtain and walked out.
She was still wearing the red shirt that was almost torn into strips of cloth. Although her aura was much gentler than last night, it still made people subconsciously step back at the first sight of her.
Just now, everyone was drinking and laughing around the bonfire, but in the blink of an eye, they all consciously closed their mouths. A few of the timid ones even put down their half-eaten barbecue, wiped their mouths with the back of their hands, and then moved their hands. Rub it on your clothes twice, trying to wipe it clean.
They stood up obediently and lowered their heads, looking like good students who were ready for the teacher's instructions.
However, Chu Qi didn't say anything after seeing this. She walked forward without looking away, with a clear target: Lu Xiaofeng, who was looking at her with a playful smile, and noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere. She seemed to have noticed. The building is full of flowers or something.
She held up the hem of her skirt and walked over lightly, bypassing the bonfire. After just one glance, someone immediately cleared her place and respectfully invited her to take a seat.
Chu Qi just sat quietly by the campfire without saying a word. When Lu Xiaofeng asked her if she wanted to eat barbecue, she just shook her head.
Everyone looked at her and felt panicked in their hearts. They involuntarily speeded up their eating. After eating, they whispered, "Master, I'm going back first." Then after getting a response, they immediately turned around and left.
So, after a while, there were only three of them left in the open space outside the tent. (Originally, Lao Bu wanted to stay and took out the incense burner to bow to Chu Qi, but in the end he was forced back by others covering his mouth.)
"Ah——! Why don't you say anything? Let's forget about this unknown monster lady. Why don't you say anything in Huamanlou?"
Seeing that everything around him was empty, Lu Xiaofeng finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He couldn't hold back what he wanted to say several times before, but unfortunately he held it back after receiving Hua Manlou's hint. He always talked a lot. It's rare that I can hold it in for so long this time, it's already very difficult.
Hua Manlou swallowed the food in her mouth, took out her handkerchief and wiped her hands clean carefully, and then said softly:
"Huh? I'm just thinking about the purpose of this lady's visit. Maybe it will be easier for her to speak if there are fewer people."
After that, he turned to Chu Qi and asked: "It's strange to say that although the girl may already know our identities, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm in Huamanlou, he is my best friend. Lu Xiaofeng, do you dare to ask the girl her name?"
Chu Qi was enjoying watching fancy mukbang. After all, who doesn’t like watching handsome guys?
Especially a handsome guy who is so eye-catching even when he is eating.
She didn't come back to her senses until she heard the question, silently brought the shelf back, and said coldly: "My name is Chu Qi."
She said softly, her voice as crisp as the sound of a sword.
Seeing that she had a calm attitude and was willing to answer, Lu Xiaofeng came over to her with a swipe. His face was filled with a genuine smile, and everyone who saw her would like it.
"Then are you a monster? It was really thanks to you last night, otherwise Huamanlou and I would have ended up in this desert."
Lu Xiaofeng opened her mouth and heard a series of crackling sounds. This familiar sound made Chu Qi's forehead start to bulge again. When she thought of what happened during the day, she already had curse words in her mouth.
But looking at Lu Xiaofeng's big, bright eyes, Chu Qi opened her mouth, and in the end only three words came out: "I'm not."
Lu Xiaofeng heard Hua Manlou holding back her laughter again. He choked and continued: "But we watched you transform from a sword to a human being."
Lu Xiaofeng has always been a sincere person. Whether he doubts or tests, he always puts it openly, just like setting a straight hook when fishing, waiting to see whether the fish will be impressed by his attitude. Take the bait willingly.
Of course, for Chu Qi, his attitude can also be called a step. She is bald, how should she let her personality go out this time.
So she said: "I am the Sword Spirit."
Hearing this answer, Lu Xiaofeng whistled. Although he had a pretty good guess, it still felt amazing to hear the person involved admit it personally.
"Hua Man Lou, you were right. It turns out that old swords can really give birth to elves!"
