Chapter 37: Flashing Lights
After being silent for a while, Mei Hong asked with a surprised face, "Then why aren't you dead yet?" β
She didn't ask this with malice, nor was she cursing, but because the people who had fought with the Lord of Flowers were basically either beaten to the point of being boneless or half-paralyzed, which is also Gensokyo's "common sense".
And although the person in front of her did seem to be seriously injured, it didn't seem to affect his movements much, and he ate quite deliciously......
Noticing the girl's gaze, Su Mu took out a box of pastries from the space and handed it to her, and then replied, "I'm also curious about why I was able to get out of there completely, but no matter how you think about it, it's probably only possible that she's in a good mood today, right?" β
"That's really the only possibility." Mei Hong nodded in agreement, and then looked at the pastry handed over by Su Mu, she didn't take it, but asked, "Why do you want to give it to me?" β
"You've just fished and you're preparing lunch, right? Swap it? β
"Swap?" Mei Hong looked at Su Mu with some astonishment, and then laughed slightly: "Okay, exchange." β
After saying that, she still did not take it, but picked up the fish that had been thrown aside, wiped the dust off the fish, and then walked to a bamboo, picked two bamboo leaves, and prepared to wrap them.
Seeing this, Su Mu laughed lightly and said, "No need to pack it, you can help me make some fish soup again, and I will pay you." β
"Remuneration?"
"Well, don't worry, it will definitely satisfy you." Su Mu said confidently.
Hearing this, Mei Hong hesitated slightly, and then nodded: "Okay, can you still go?" β
"You can walk, lead the way."
As he spoke, Su Mu held on to the bamboo on the side and slowly stood up, just with such a simple movement, sweat came out of his forehead again.
Seeing him like this, Meihong frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, but turned around and walked towards the bamboo forest.
It's just that her pace is quite slow.
Seeing this, Su Mu chuckled lightly and followed.
β¦β¦
Because the two of them walked very slowly, they walked for nearly 40 minutes before they reached a small room deep in the bamboo forest.
And Su Muna's clothes, which had only been changed for a short time, were already wet with sweat again.
After Mei Hong beckoned Su Mu into the house, she didn't go to cook the fish soup immediately, but asked, "There is a very powerful doctor in the bamboo forest, do you want to go and see it?" β
"Forever Pavilion?" Su Mu smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, it feels too bad to be controlled by someone else." β
Life in the hands of someone else?
Sister Kong was slightly stunned, and then sneered and said, "Isn't your life controlled by me now?" β
"Ah, it seems to be." Su Mu smiled slightly bitterly, and then found a chair and sat down nonchalantly, and said, "But your words are probably fine." β
"Oh? Are you underestimating me? The girl's red eyebrows raised slightly.
"No, I know you can kill me with one finger right now, but I don't think you will." Su Mu said with a smile.
"Tsk!" Mei Hong smashed her tongue, and then walked outside the house with two fish, because the 'kitchen' was outside the house.
Seeing this, Su Mu smiled slightly, and then began to look at the environment in the room.
A bed made of bamboo, a table made of bamboo, and two chairs made of bamboo.
The degree of simplicity has surpassed that of Mu Shi's original residence, right? After all, she at least had a wardrobe there.
"I'm sorry for being so simple."
Although she was outside the house, the girl seemed to know Su Mu's actions, and immediately laughed at herself after he finished looking at it.
"It's okay, at least it's easy to clean."
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"Not really, it's just a matter of getting used to it."
"Accustomed to it?"
"Well, that's what happened to one of my fiancΓ©es' previous residences." Su Mu said with a smile.
"FiancΓ©e...... One? You have several fiancΓ©es. β
"Two."
ββ¦β¦ It's so pitiful, they almost died of widowhood. β
"Haha~ It's not that exaggerated, although I can't win the tyrant of flowers, but if I want to run away, she probably won't be able to stop me." Su Mu said with a smile.
"Then why are you still so embarrassed?"
"Because I'd love to fight her myself." Su Mu smiled indifferently and said, "And I will go to her again later." β
ββ¦β¦ Turns out you're also a madman? I suddenly regretted bringing you back. β
"Haha~ Don't worry, you are my benefactor, not only will I not trouble you, but I will repay you well."
"Benefactor?"
Mei Hong walked in with a pot of fish soup, and then asked with a surprised face, "When will I become your benefactor?" β
"Next."
Su Mu smiled slightly, and two golden ripples opened beside him, and then in Mei Hong's vigilant gaze, a bottle of wine and two cigarettes fell from the ripples onto the table.
"Here's the reward for this fish soup, you try it, and if you're interested, we'll talk about it."
After speaking, Su Mu took out a bowl and a spoon from the space, scooped up the soup and began to drink it.
ββ¦β¦ Well, the taste is okay, but it seems to be a little lacking in seasoning. β
"......" Mei Hong glanced at him lightly, then picked up the bottle of wine, opened it, and took a sip without hesitation.
She has the ability to be immortal, so poison doesn't mean anything to her, and she doesn't feel that the person in front of her who has no grievances with her will poison her.
It's just that......
"It's so spicy......!" Mei Hong's brows furrowed slightly, but although she said this, she not only did not put down the bottle, but also took another sip.
"It seems to be unexpectedly touching...... Well? And a stream of energy? β
"That's spiritual power, not only can it make the taste of wine better, but for people who are not strong, drinking it regularly can also help them cultivate." As he spoke, Su Mu asked with a smile, "Can I satisfy you?" β
Mei Hong didn't nod or shake her head, but put the wine aside, then picked up the cigarette, opened it and took out one and put it in her mouth, and then a small flame came out of thin air with her index finger to light the cigarette.
After inhaling slowly, she exhaled a mouthful of white mist and asked, "What do you want me to do?" β
"What not to do? I just want you to protect me for a day. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you have an enemy who is after you? β
"How is that possible?" Su Mu laughed and said, "After coming here, including you, I have only met two people, where is the enemy?" β
"Then why do you want me to protect you?"
"It will take at least 1 day for me to regain my combat effectiveness, so I just want to find someone to rely on during this time."
"You just believe me?" Mei Hong asked with some puzzlement.
"This is probably called rushing to the doctor, right?" Su Mu smiled and said, "How is it?" Want to trade? β
ββ¦β¦ How many of these can you give me? β
"How much do you want?" Su Mu asked with a look of entrenchment.
β10β¦β¦ No, I want 20 bottles of wine and 20 cigarettes...... Not! β
After saying that, Mei Hong regretted it, because she saw that the person in front of her actually took out the amount she wanted from the golden ripples without changing his face.
Damn, is it going to be less?
Mei Hong sighed with remorse, and then she seemed to suddenly think of something, raised her head and asked, "I still don't know your name." β
Su Mu smiled slightly and said, "My name is Su Mu, and you probably know my identity, a half-demon from the outside world." β
"My name is Fujiwara Meihong, I've been here for a long time, and my identity is probably ...... Penglai people's bar......"
"Then Meihong, at least on this day, I'll trouble you."
As he spoke, Su Mu stretched out a hand to her.
Mei Hong was slightly stunned, and then shook it.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed by the window, and the two subconsciously looked over.
Then, Su Mu saw the third pair of red eyes he saw after coming to Gensokyo.
It was a young girl, with short black hair, a red hexagonal hat, a sleeveless shirt, and her white, slender hands were holding a black camera pointed at them.
After seeing the eyes of the two, the girl not only did not have embarrassment, but also showed a refreshing smile on her face, and then pleaded:
"Can you please be a little more intimate? Yes...... It would be better if the demeanor was more intimate~"
