Chapter 43: The Strange Woman

The woman was dressed in a purple dress with many decorated crystals falling from it. There is not much clothing, and it outlines a beautiful body curve.

Those eyes looked at people with a bit of flattery, but at this time, they were full of horror, staring at Mu Jiujiu incredulously.

Duan Qianxiao saw that she was a little familiar, and then she remembered, wasn't this the woman who had an argument with a fat man in the tea shop that day, and was finally stopped by a middle-aged man?

For some reason, at this time, the fat man and the middle-aged man were not by her side.

Seeing that the woman didn't answer, Mu Jiujiu simply asked again: "I'm sorry, have we met before?" ”

"Of course you didn't see me, but I saw ......"

She seemed to realize something after she finished speaking, and stopped talking.

"See what?" Mu Jiujiu opened his mouth suspiciously.

"Nothing." The woman's demeanor and movements have a bit of a taste of wanting to cover up.

The suspicion in Mu Jiujiu's heart became deeper and deeper, and she just wanted to ask clearly, but she heard the woman speak again.

"We haven't met, I'm sorry, I read it wrong." The woman said.

For this inconsistency, Mu Jiujiu felt very wrong.

But the woman didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the conversation, she closed her eyes and made the appearance that she wanted to rest, so Mu Jiujiu had no choice but to stop.

"It's okay, let's sleep." Wen Yuan said calmly.

Mu Jiujiu: "Hmm. ”

She looked at the scenery outside the pavilion and thought to herself that if she didn't sleep anymore, it would probably be dawn. After dawn, I will go to the poisonous fog swamp, and I don't know what will happen inside, so it is better to recuperate at this time and rest for a while.

There are so many people in this pavilion, and Wen Yuan and Duan Qianxiao are also around, so you shouldn't have to worry, right?

Thinking like this, she also felt a little sleepy, and slowly closed her eyes.

……

Soon after.

The woman opened her eyes and saw that Mu Jiujiu was asleep, and a strange light flashed under her eyes.

She gently tugged at a sparkling crystal on her skirt and crushed it.

Then, out of nowhere, a poisonous snake sprung out, with strange lines on its back, and its vertical pupils looked terrifying, flashing with an eerie light.

"Hiss-"

A hint of fierceness flashed in the woman's eyes.

Although she didn't know what the situation was now, and why this person who was supposed to die came back to life, she still planned to kill her first and then go and tell the sect master.

She patted the snake on the head, and it headed for the wine.

The poisonous snake quickly approached Mu Jiujiu, opened its huge mouth, revealing its fangs glowing with cold light, and was about to bite herβ€”

But the moment it touched Mu Jiujiu, it turned into a blood mist.

The woman was startled and looked up in astonishment.

Next to Mu Jiujiu, a man opened his eyes and looked at her indifferently.

His eyes were deep, with a faint disdain in them, as if he was looking at an insignificant ant.

Under such a look, a wave of fear quietly rose from the woman's heart.

Then, an invisible air current hit the womanβ€”

……

Of course, Mu Jiujiu didn't know about all the changes that happened in this pavilion, and she rarely had a good night's sleep.

There was a good smell around her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved.

Although it is rare to sleep outside, especially in this case. But Mu Jiujiu always felt that there was an invisible aura around her, which made her vaguely feel that she was safe and did not worry about the danger around her.

There was no dream all night, and when she woke up, it was already dawn.

The rain stopped, and the nameless white flowers outside the pavilion were also beaten by yesterday's rain and fell into the dirt and dust next to them.

Mu Jiujiu glanced at the sky.

It was a foggy sky, and a golden light faintly appeared, and then a colorful glow jumped out of the clouds.

Seeing such a scene early in the morning, Mu Jiujiu only felt comfortable in his heart.

Mu Jiujiu stretched his waist and looked left and right.

Duan Qianxiao was not there, Wen Yuan seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate, Mu Jiujiu saw that he was sleeping soundly, and he couldn't bear to disturb him.

There were many fewer people in the pavilion, and some people should have already set off, and the strange woman from yesterday was gone.

Her eyes swept over the ground......

Hey!?

Lots of blood under your feet?

Mu Jiujiu was stunned.

At this time, a spirit bird in the sky let out a crisp chirp, swept across the sky, and Wen Yuan opened his eyes.

Mu Jiujiu smiled at him.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm." Wen Yuandao also smiled at her.

In fact, he woke up long ago, but he didn't open his eyes.

Mu Jiujiu stared at Wen Yuan for a while, only to feel that his smile was beautiful and moving, and couldn't help but speak: "Senior Wen Yuan, you should smile more." ”

She has always felt that Wen Yuan's predecessor is a very good person, but she often has no expression, and she feels too cold, so she makes people feel that she is not easy to approach.

Wen Yuan seemed stunned for a moment.

Then Mu Jiujiu heard him say a soft "um".

Mu Jiujiu: "Senior Wen Yuan, are you injured?" She pointed to the blood at her feet.

Wen Yuan shook his head, his gaze seemed to sink: "No." ”

Mu Jiujiu is a little strange, but there is no blood here yesterday? Or was it because it was dim last night and she didn't notice?

Just as he was thinking like this, Duan Qianxiao came.

He stepped into the pavilion and took a few green and red spirit fruits in his hand.

Duan Qianxiao handed them the spirit fruit and said, "Eat it, it's washed." ”

"Brother Qianxiao is considerate." Mu Jiujiu was a little happy, she happened to be hungry.

I don't know what kind of fruit it is, it exudes a unique aroma, and it is sweet and sour when you bite into it.

Mu Jiujiu's eyebrows and eyes are slightly curved.

She is such an easily satisfied person, and sometimes she feels very happy when she eats something very delicious.

After the three of them packed up, they planned to move forward.

Mu Jiujiu was still following behind Wen Yuan, and she was not so cramped now.

Along the way, Mu Jiujiu could feel that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot inexplicably.

She was a little strange, it was close to noon.

Although Edgeworth's feeling made Mujiujiu more excited, after all, she rarely had such an experience. But after seeing too much of the unchanged scenery, I gradually became a little sleepy.

I don't know how long it took.

A river appears in front of you.

Wen Yuan glanced at Duan Qianxiao, and the sword under his feet paused.

Duan Qianxiao stopped his sword and said, "Since you have already arrived here, it should be almost there." ”

Wen Yuan nodded.

Behind him, Mu Jiujiu closed his eyes and hugged him tightly, his head resting on Wen Yuan's shoulder, his warm breath around his neck.

Can you fall asleep while standing? Wen Yuan was a little incredible.

He tried not to move so that he could not disturb her.

Maybe Wen Yuan didn't realize it himself, but unconsciously, his whole temperament was much gentler, and there was an imperceptible tenderness in the depths of his eyes.

This is a state that he rarely had in the Fuma realm before.

They followed the river and continued their journey with Edgeworth.

I don't know how long it took before I saw the endless forest in front of me.

The distant mountains are just a faint shade of blue. The sky is overlapped with white clouds, and light and shadow complement each other.

And in that forest, the faint sound of beasts echoed in my ears.
