Chapter 44 Bathing in the Sunshine (Three Watches, Asking for Collections, Recommended Votes!)
......
"So we're on our way again?"
After listening to Xia Fan's story, Li shrugged his shoulders and said.
"It was a bit surprisingly fast, but it would have allowed us to deal with the Privy Council sooner. ”
"Alright, I'll go pack my things. ”
"Wait," Xia Fan stopped her, "I've been lying in the carriage with 'luggage' and it's boring and boring, do you want to be my 'fellow sister' and go with me?"
Li was slightly shocked, and turned back a little incredulously, "You let me walk with you in broad daylight?"
"You don't want to hide for the rest of your life. Xia Fan said as a matter of course, "Even if you are with me to take revenge on the Privy Council, such a price is too great." ”
"Do you know, if someone finds out—"
"Fang Shi definitely can't do it, maybe he will be tracked down why there is a fox demon in the same door. He followed the other man's words and continued, "So just don't be discovered." I remember you said that there is no such thing as a demon spirit, right?"
"Of course not!" Li hugged his chest and said, "I don't know where your strange idea came from, do animals have a fishy body odor, and demons also have a similar smell? As long as the situation is not urgent, we will also wash our bodies regularly, not to mention as if only humans love to be clean!"
After saying that, she pulled up her collar and lowered her head to sniff, "Don't believe you're here to smell it?"
"No, I do. Xia Fan said decisively, "If you think about it carefully, the tail can be covered with a robe, or tied tightly and wrapped around the waist, and the biggest flaw is only the ears on the head." When the woman was in a hurry, wearing a cloak and covering it with a black veil was a normal move, and it was not easy to see through it. ”
Of course, another key point is that the fox demon does not need to hide from everyone on his own, and if he takes care of it, ordinary people will not dare to question Fang Shi's judgment at all.
Li was silent for a while.
"If you don't think it's safe to do that, there's an easier way to do it – you can become a fox, right?"
Compared with physical characteristics, Xia Fan believes that this is the biggest difference between humans and demons. He had taken Li into the carriage without telling the coachman, and it was this trick that he relied on. According to Li's own words, she can not only turn into an ordinary fox, but also a giant fox, and at the same time, her strength and speed will increase by several notches. It's just that both types of changes require gas consumption and cannot be used as normal.
This drastic change in body shape is difficult to explain with the common sense he is familiar with, and can only be temporarily attributed to the magic of qi.
"And then?"
"Then give you some camouflage, like dyeing your hair yellow, painting black circles under your eyes, and it will look like a dog. Although he can't speak, at least he doesn't have to be stuffy in the carriage-" Xia Fan suddenly stopped, and he felt an extremely dangerous aura in the other party's eyes.
"Let's go the first way," Li said after a moment, "if you think it's okay." ”
......
Half an hour later, two carriages stopped at the entrance of Yingsongzhan.
"Brother Xia, I'm here. Seeing Xia Fan appear, Wei Wushuang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Luggage and other things, you need my help to get it-"
Halfway through, however, his shouting came to an abrupt end.
I saw a tall woman walking out of Xia Fan's back, although she was wearing a black gauze hat and couldn't see her face clearly, but just from the sharp chin that was exposed, and the faint red lips, she could already feel her extraordinary appearance.
Wei Wushuang looked at the woman in surprise and curiosity for a while before looking at Xia Fan, "Brother Xia, I don't know if this is ......."
"Let me introduce her, she is my master's new disciple, named Li. Xia Fan spread his hands and said, "And this person is Wei Wushuang, a candidate at the same time as me, and his place of appointment is also in the same city." ”
"Hello for the first time. Li stretched out his slender hand, brushed aside the black yarn in front of him, and bowed his head slightly.
At that moment, Wei Wushuang saw a pair of eyes that were like nightfall.
He subconsciously looked away, took a step back and bowed his hand, "You, hello...... It was a pleasure to meet the girl......"
Xia Fan almost didn't laugh out loud, this guy was a familiar friend when he was in a relationship with him, but he didn't expect to be so clumsy in front of the fox demon.
"Ahem, what my master meant, is that he wants me to take her out for a long time, and by the way, she can also teach her magic. He casually made up a reason, "When she goes to take the taxi exam three years later, she will not be without confidence." In a word...... This time, Li will go with me to Jinxia City. ”
"I see. Wei Wushuang immediately agreed, "She can already feel her qi?"
"Well, my junior sister started a few years later than me. ”
"Why haven't you heard Brother Xia mention it before?"
"You didn't tell me how many relatives you have. ”
"Well, I was reckless. But the name Li ...... It's so unique, only a name and no surname?"
"Hey, like me, I was born as a homeless and didn't know who my parents were. Now this name, maybe she also came up with it herself...... By the way, she is withdrawn and quiet, if it is not necessary, remember not to mention her in front of outsiders......"
The voices of the two slowly lowered, as if they were drifting apart, or rather, Li's consciousness was no longer on their conversation.
She faced the sun above her head and closed her eyes slightly.
The summer sun was still strong, and Li could feel the burning and subtle stinging pain coming from his skin.
But this sting did not make her uncomfortable, but rather an indescribable comfort.
How long has it been since she walked in the sun?
Li couldn't remember the exact date.
Because that's just too long.
Since deciding to rescue Master, she has focused most of her energy on the night—if she wants to get out into the countryside and come into contact with humans, she must be cautious and avoid any possibility of revealing her whereabouts. The night was her best cover, but it also made her almost forget what it was like to be standing in the sun.
For a moment, Li seemed to return to the moment when his first consciousness was born.
At that time, her favorite thing to do was to lie down beside her master and listen to her own words—the sun on her back and the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest were the main colors of her memory.
"It's time to go. ”
Xia Fan's voice pulled her back from her distraction.
Li pursed his lips and boarded the carriage.
She knew that the other party didn't need to do this at all - what he needed was the inside of the Privy Council and the knowledge of magic, and in exchange for helping her find out the whereabouts of her master, allowing herself to act in broad daylight would not increase any gains, but would bring some risks.
However, not only did he do this, but the reason was also inexplicable, "I don't want her to hide in the carriage boring and boring".
It's incomprehensible.
It was this incomprehension that made Li find that his thoughts had loosened a little.
No one can shake the rules laid down by the Privy Council.
But this man has a very different style of thinking...... Maybe it can make a difference.
Before he was strangled by the rules.
