Chapter Eighty-Four: Daunting
I'm willing to follow your word for it, simply because I care about you.
"Xiaolong, is the jade feather fragment in your father's hand?" In order to prevent the atmosphere from suddenly consolidating, Mo Xiuxiu took the initiative to shift the topic elsewhere.
After being silent for a long time, You Zhiqi, who was preoccupied, suddenly asked, "Xiuxiu, do you know why I am afraid of women?" ”
Mo Xiuxiu: "......"
She had no idea why You Zhiqi asked that.
Intimidated by women? Have it?
I don't see it at all!
But think about it...... It seems that this is really the case, he is really not very close to Hua Lingyue and the other female disciples in the palace, and even if he bullied Hua Lingyue and Ge Xunlin, he didn't feel sorry for himself much.
He seems to be really only close to himself?
"Xiaolong, do you have any secrets to tell me?"
You Zhiqi suddenly smiled bitterly, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.
Seeing that his expression was different, and sensing that there must be something hidden in it, Mo Xiuxiu hurriedly held his hand, but found that these hands were as cold as ice.
Mo Xiuxiu's first reaction was to puff up for these hands, trying to warm him with them.
At this moment, You Zhiqi abandoned all pretense and defense, and looked at Mo Xiuxiu's eyes with a touch of gratitude, "Xiuxiu, if I have done anything to hurt others, will you still treat me as a friend?" ”
Mo Xiuxiu smiled: "What you do to others has nothing to do with me." As I said, what is good to me is a good person. ”
In her heart, You Zhiqi is a good person with pure character and gentle temperament, not to mention that he has always been an upright person, and she really can't think of anything he will do to hurt others.
But she vaguely felt that the incident might have something to do with his fear of women.
"Actually, when I got the first Jade Feather Fragment, it was when I was in the body of a green snake."
Mo Xiuxiu looked at him with incredible eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Being able to keep the jade feather fragment for so long shows that this thing is very important to him.
20,000 years ago, You Zhiqi was less than 100 years old, his mana was low, he was not familiar with human feelings, and he was not lacking in selfishness, and he never thought of being a hero and being admired.
In order to evolve into a true dragon body as soon as possible, he searched for magic weapons while cultivating hard.
That winter, he unexpectedly learned the news of the fragment of Jade Ling, and knew that it was the property of the prince of the Protoss, thinking that this thing would definitely improve his cultivation.
After several inquiries, I learned that the fragment of the jade feather was in the hands of the son of the first family, and this person was very greedy for money, and it was difficult for You Zhiqi to please him.
After working hard for several months, he just wanted to drink a cup of hot soup to warm his body, so he walked into a teahouse.
Before he could talk to the shopkeeper, the table next door attracted all his attention.
The son of the family with the jade feather fragment is standing in front of him!
This is a great opportunity, usually he can't even walk through the door.
The cynical son of the family is molesting a singing woman at this time, and his subordinates are beating the woman's grandfather violently.
Back then, he wanted to help, but the kind-hearted shopkeeper repeatedly stopped him, telling him not to ask for trouble, and not to leave endless troubles for himself as a temporary hero.
This son is a local magnate, and no one dares to take care of his domineering behavior.
Just imagine, how can a snake demon have the ability to compete with others?
In that case, it would be almost impossible to get a Jade Feather Fragment.
Under the kind persuasion of the shopkeeper, You Zhiqi swallowed the hero's determination to save the beauty, even if the woman's plea was in his ears, he could only turn a deaf ear.
More importantly, if he offends this son, it will be more difficult to ask for help in the future.
However, just after he hesitated for a short while, the woman's grandfather was beaten to death, and the woman's cry was even worse, and You Zhiqi was stunned for a moment. 、
He even felt that he blamed himself for not helping in time to cause this tragedy.
Just when he decided to save the woman for the second time, the kind-hearted shopkeeper once again advised, "This guest officer, you don't need to offend people for two stinky people!" When the time comes, you're in trouble, but no one is there to help you. ”
After hearing this, You Zhiqi really did not act rashly, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart.
"Why is this world so unjust? Why should people be divided into three, six, nine and so on, some people are born to stay high, and some people are as humble as ants until they die. ”
Looking at the messy woman, You Zhiqi couldn't help but think of his childhood, "If my mother is a snake and not a dragon, no one will look down on our mother and son!" ”
Because of his mother, he didn't know how much bullying he had suffered......
Thinking of this, his heart to get the Jade Feather Fragment was even more unswerving.
Seeing that his subordinates were killed, the boy had to shout "withdraw", which can be regarded as temporarily letting go of the singing woman.
Before leaving, the son left a gold ingot and asked the woman to wait for him in the guest room after grooming.
After the wicked man left, the woman's crying shoulders rose and fell, and You Zhiqi leaned over with guilt, "Little sister, I'll help you bury your grandfather, okay?" ”
The woman nodded with tears, and the appearance of You Zhiqi made her feel warmth and care for the first time in the cold world, and she expressed her willingness to serve as a slave and serve for life.
You Zhiqi didn't say much, but just asked the shopkeeper to send some warm meals to the woman, and he left the teahouse with the body of the woman's grandfather.
The woman thought that when he finished burying his grandfather, he would take him out of here.
Wait, wait, wait......
It wasn't until dusk that You Zhiqi returned to the teahouse with a heavy heart, because he thought of a way to get the jade feather fragments, but it wasn't too bright.
When he reached the door of the guest room, he stopped, and the woman took the initiative to call him in after hearing the footsteps.
After seeing the woman who had finished grooming, You Zhiqi couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
The woman's face is beautiful, her pure and lovely appearance is really different from the ragged singing girl, and she looks like a small jasper.
After the death of his adoptive parents, this was the first time You Zhiqi had close contact with a woman, and he couldn't help pinching her face, "You are so good-looking, as beautiful as a goddess on a snowy mountain." ”
The strange thing is that the woman who had known each other for a short time not only did not dodge, but took the opportunity to put her hand on You Zhiqi's arm, and her smile was full of shyness.
"From now on, Zhiyuan is Engong's person! Wherever Engong goes, I will follow you. As long as it is ordered by Engong, Zhiyuan will do everything. ”
Hearing this, You Zhiqi quickly retracted his hand.
Not to mention that he is used to being alone, he is considered an outlaw and a person who has no time to take care of himself, how dare he stay by your side?
