"What's wrong with you?"
Chu Yunshen regained his composure once again. He frowned and his thick eyebrows deeply knitted together as he thought of the warmth he felt when he touched Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand and the heat when she hugged him tightly with her petite arms. His thin lips were tightly pursed as he waited for Cheng Xiaoxiao's answer.
"Me? What?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao still nodded rhythmically. She slowly repeated Chu Yunshen's words, but only a few words that couldn't make up a sentence.
Chu Yunshen finally understood that Cheng Xiaoxiao could not answer his question normally, and there he was, asking her questions and talking to her earnestly.
"I'll take you to rest."
Chu Yunshen, whose hands were tied, compromised, and a trace of helplessness was obvious in his tone.
"Me? Rest?" Cheng Xiaoxiao pointed at her own chest, and the rhythm of this movement was basically the same as her nod.
"Why don't you ask me why you can call me Xiaoxiao?"Cheng Xiaoxiao patted Chu Yunshen's arm with dissatisfaction just as Chu Yunshen was estimating the size of her palms with his eyes.It was also Cheng Xiaoxiao's hazy shout that pulled Chu Yunshen back from these strange thoughts. How could he have such a rude idea? Moreover, he could not tell whether this woman was human or demon, and he only knew her name now.Chu Yunshen shifted his gaze to somewhere else and cleared his throat before asking the question."Okay. Why did you allow me to call you Xiaoxiao?""Hehehe..."Cheng Xiaoxiao giggled foolishly again instead of answering his question immediately. Only after she laughed for a while did she mysteriously hook her index finger at Chu Yunshen, indicating for him to come closer.Chu Yunshen was hesitating whether he should get closer to Cheng Xiaoxiao or not. His concern was justifi
"Check her condition."Chu Yunshen stood not far from the door and instructed indifferently. He did not look at Mu Bai, who was soaking his feet in a dark black potion that was filled with strange medicinal herbs."Carry her over then. I need to soak for another hour."Mu Bai ordered directly too. Unlike Xiaowu and the others, although he was also Chu Yunshen's subordinate, more often than not, Mu Bai and Chu Yunshen were more like friends who could talk about everything under the sun.Chu Yunshen admired Mu Bai's medical skills, and Mu Bai cherished Chu Yunshen's appreciation of him.Therefore, sometimes, Chu Yunshen would tease Mu Bai when he was in a good mood. Although Mu Bai would address Chu Yunshen as "Master", he would be a little overboard at times. Because of this, Xiaowu confronted Mu Bai and reprimanded him, and the matter ended with Xiaowu lying on the ground with white foams at his mouth after bein
"Master? Have you seen this?"Mu Bai was puzzled at Chu Yunshen's absent-mindedness and asked him again. He also moved the handkerchief closer to Chu Yunshen."Is this the drug you just mentioned?"It just so happened that he could divert his attention. Chu Yunshen quickly focused on the topic and began to seriously discuss it with Mu Bai. In order to prove that he was too busy to pay attention to the Persian cat rather than pretending to ignore her, he took the handkerchief from Mu Bai and carefully examined it.Mu Bai stared at Chu Yunshen in confusion, wondering why the latter looked a little too enthusiastic and sounded a little urgent.Not only Mu Bai, but Cheng Xiaoxiao also shared the same thought.She knew that Chu Yunshen was investigating a serious business. Therefore, she lay in Chu Yunshen's embrace quietly although she had no idea that this was the drug she had just mentioned and did no
"See? I'm smart, right?""I deliberately wiped my paw with Mu Bai's clothes before coming over. It's his dirty water anyway. You don't have to praise me, just cradle me."Cheng Xiaoxiao smugly waited for Chu Yunshen to bend down and pick her up. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunshen only pursed his lips and looked down at her."What's wrong with you? Do you find me dirty?"Assuming that he might find her dirty, Cheng Xiaoxiao did not insist Chu Yunshen on carrying her. After all, even she disliked the smell of the medicine on her body.After she and Chu Yunshen exchanged glances for a few seconds, she turned around and ran toward the teapot on the table.Observing the Persian cat's actions, Chu Yunshen and Mu Bai turned their gazes over. Mu Bai was thinking about the matter with the Hu merchants and he asked awkwardly."Should we go now? Or should we wait for Xiaowu to come back?""Wha
When Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was in high spirits, was carried out of the room by Chu Yunshen, Xiaowu and the others had changed into neat and convenient clothes and were standing in the courtyard waiting for Chu Yunshen to come out.However, when Chu Yunshen walked to the front of them, Xiaowu and the others were shocked.Chu Yunshen was still handsome as ever, but there were two huge dark circles under his eyes. The dark circles under his eyes became very obvious now thanks to his fair face and pale lips."Master, did you not sleep well last night?"Xiaowu was always the most active one. He wanted to look up at Chu Yunshen but did not dare to, so he simply lowered his head and asked worriedly."I'm fine, let's go."Chu Yunshen sounded a little tired. He held the Persian cat with one hand and pinched his nose with the other as he ordered the others in the courtyard."Yes."As C
When Cheng Xiaoxiao entered the warehouse in Chu Yunshen's arms, she saw that He Lulu and the others were lying on the floor with white foam in their mouths. The cages and linen sacks in the warehouse were still the same as what Cheng Xiaoxiao had seen last night.Apart from the three familiar faces, there were a few people that Cheng Xiaoxiao had never seen before. From the looks of it, she assumed that they were also Hu merchants.Moreover, these people did not lose consciousness. They were twitching and staring at Chu Yunshen and the unscathed Persian cat in his arms.The hatred that shot out from He Lulu's eagle-like eyes almost pierced through Cheng Xiaoxiao. Cheng Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she shrank in Chu Yunshen's arms, wishing she could hide and be invisible.Chu Yunshen stroked the scared Persian cat while silently turning his body to the other side, not allowing He Lulu to see the cat."Xiaowu
Xiaowu had already stepped forward and opened some of the linen sacks without needing the Persian cat to remind him."Master, there is indeed Datura powder inside."Xiaowu covered his mouth and nose and lightly shook off the white powder in the bag. Then, he walked up to Chu Yunshen and reported respectfully.Chu Yunshen hid the faint smile on his face and then raised his head to look at He Lulu who was tied up.When Chu Yunshen saw the unnatural expression on He Lulu's face, a hint of playfulness flashed across his jet-black eyes.He Lulu wanted Chu Yunshen to interrogate him or do something.However, Chu Yunshen simply looked at him meaningfully. He Lulu couldn't figure out what Chu Yunshen was thinking at all, nor did he know what Chu Yunshen knew about their shady business.As the saying went, "silence speaks louder than words". The psychological battle had lasted for a long time, b
In fact, Cheng Xiaoxiao was aware of all these things, but she had no way to tell Chu Yunshen everything. After all, it was really inconvenient to be in this cat's body.Fortunately, now that He Lulu had described the situation again, Cheng Xiaoxiao could also help verify if he had deliberately concealed or faked anything. If Cheng Xiaoxiao really found out, she would definitely be the first to report on the spot and then let Chu Yunshen deal with these people directly.While Cheng Xiaoxiao was happily thinking about her plan, He Lulu had already said something that even Gu Hunge and De Ertai did not know, let alone Cheng Xiaoxiao."Where is the supplier?"Xiaowu asked as he glanced at Chu Yunshen. Only when he did not receive Chu Yunshen's dissatisfied gaze did he feel relieved and continue to interrogate He Lulu."In the brothel street after you turn left at Pink Alley. He rented a courtyard, but I have never
