"Lord, are we camping here today?"

"Well, it's thirty or forty miles away from Guandu, so it should be ...... OK. ”

Xu Huabiao nodded to Pei Xiuzhi a little embarrassed.

Actually, Bae Xiuzhi is more embarrassed than him.

"There's a grove over there, and we're camped in the woods."

"Hmm."

Xu Huabiao nodded, and followed Pei Xiuzhi and the two of them towards the woods that Pei Xiuzhi said just now.

It didn't take much time to set up camp, but it was just a tent and a fire.

For two people who know the road with a light car, it was done in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Don't you have a tent?" Xu Huabiao saw that Pei Xiuzhi was just helping him deal with the tent here, then stopped, and asked more.

“…… A tent is enough, right? ”

“…… Suzy, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right? ”

"Lord, didn't you tell Sister Yun'er that you can already help me awaken the source of power...... Why, isn't it okay yet? ”

"Can you please refrain from saying such things in such a aggrieved tone? I'm just polite...... "Xu Huabiao scratched his head.

"Just today." Pei Xiuzhi looked serious, "I'm sorry to trouble you." ”

"What's the trouble with this? You're such a pretty girl......"

"Pretty?"

Pei Xiuzhi was stunned for a while before he reacted.

showed the smile that allowed Xu Huabiao in her previous life to include her in the three must-have lists.

That kind of warm smile that makes people feel very comfortable.

Xu Huabiao looked at this smile and stretched a little.

Familiar, but also somewhat unfamiliar smiles.

This seems to be the first time Xu Huabiao has seen her smile after Xu Huabiao met her in this world.

"It's the first time I've heard someone compliment me on my beauty." Pei Xiuzhi smiled, sat on the ground next to the tent, and said to Xu Huabiao: "No one has ever said that. ”

"Well, Yuna told me the same thing." Xu Huabiao didn't mind and sat on the ground.

It's a little far from Bae Xiuzhi, not far.

"Yes, Sister Yun'er is right, I'm afraid that except for you, the lord, no one will care if we are beautiful or not." Pei Xiuzhi nodded, "Including ourselves." ”

"Well, I'm a superficial person." Xu Huabiao smiled, "I think it's still important to be beautiful...... Maybe it's because I'm not good-looking? ”

“…… Lord, you're not that ugly! ”

"That...... I'll just think you're praising me. Xu Huabiao smiled and shook his head.

The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, and there seemed to be nothing to say between the two.

"Lord, are you hungry? Want something to eat? Bae Suzhi struggled to find a topic.

"Don't be hungry, you can eat." Xu Huabiao shook his head.

"Hmm." Pei Xiuzhi nodded, got up, returned to the horse tied to the tree next to him, took out a piece of bread from his bag, stuck it in a branch, returned to the fire, and roasted it with the fire.

Xu Huabiao looked at Pei Xiuzhi and said nothing.

"Why, lord?" Bae Xiuzhi was a little awkward to look at, so he could only continue to find something to say.

"Actually, the source of your power has not yet awakened...... In other words, you are still an ordinary girl. Xu Huabiao said something.

"Ordinary? Well, maybe! ”

"I didn't mean that, I mean ......"

"I understand!" Pei Xiuzhi interrupted Xu Huabiao's explanation with a smile, "I remember that on the way from the ancient city to Jingzhou before, one night, Sister Yun'er said something similar to me. ”

“……”

"I'm not very good at talking, I'm sorry, lord."

"It's fine." Xu Huabiao took a deep breath, "What I want to say is, since you can still live the life of an ordinary girl now, why don't you try?" ”

"Because I'm not interested!"

“……”

"I'm sorry ......"

"Nothing, forget it." Xu Huabiao smiled and waved his hand.

There was finally a complete silence by the fire.

Pei Xiuzhi warmed up the cake and ate it silently.

Xu Huabiao didn't say anything more, just looked at Pei Xiuzhi there.

Pei Xiuzhi seemed to be used to Xu Huabiao's gaze, and didn't say anything more.

In this way, after dinner, it seemed that it was time to rest.

"Lord, or else...... Let's rest. Although Pei Xiuzhi looked indifferent, his face was still slightly red when he said this.

"Today?"

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and today are no different."

"That's what you say...... But don't you really regret awakening the source of power in this way? ”

"Lord, if you say this again, it is not considerate, it is verbose......"

"I know I'm verbose, I just think you might regret it in the future."

"Why would I regret it?"

"What if...... I haven't been able to help you awaken the source of power? Will you regret it, will you hate me? ”

"Oh, that's okay! You're just helping me, my lord...... What's more, this is just a way to try, and failure is normal! What can be done in this world? Pei Xiuzhi said with a smile.

Xu Huabiao opened his mouth.

"You're so carefree."

"Take 10,000 steps back, this method doesn't hurt, and it won't be good if you try!"

"Doesn't it hurt......?"

"Over the years, I've tried all the methods I should have tried." Pei Xiuzhi looked serious, "Lord, I'm afraid you don't know what this sentence says, right?" ”

“……”

"Look, my lord."

Pei Xiuzhi smiled and took off her outer clothes, which were wrapped in cloth.

Then, she untied the wrap herself.

She doesn't look very skilled, and she shouldn't usually unravel it at all.

Xu Huabiao swallowed softly.

This one...... Ahem, instinctively.

However, the next moment, his instinct was gone.

When the chest wrap was completely untied and slipped off, Xu Huabiao's gaze was set to wander around, taking a good look at this masterpiece that was a little chubby, but still very beautiful.

Because someone left something on this masterpiece.

His gaze was fixed on Pei Xiuzhi's chest, in the middle.

A weird black mark.

It's like a seal, and it's like the back of a copper mirror.

Several dragon-like things, with a round frame and a black dot in the middle that looked like a button for a bronze mirror.

Xu Huabiao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen something similar in his previous life.

Two dragons playing with pearls?

It's just that...... This thing doesn't look like it's painted!

Xu Huabiao stretched out his hand and touched it gently.

He can swear that this time, he really doesn't have the heart to eat tofu.

It can't be wiped off, and when the fingers touch it, there is a noticeable concave and convex feeling.

"I scalded it myself." Pei Xiuzhi didn't seem to mind Xu Huabiao's action.

On the contrary, the first time Xu Huabiao touched her body was here, not on both sides...... She was somewhat relieved.

The lord doesn't seem to be as anxious as Lord Bae Joo-hyun said......

It seems that this statement is also one of the jokes that Lord Bae Joo-hyun will make from time to time about the lord!

"Ironing ...... by yourself"

"Well, in four times." Bae Xiuzhi pointed to the figure on his chest, "The first time is the dot in the middle, then, two dragons, and then, the outer ring ......"

"What are you doing with this?"

"There is a saying that under the imprint on the chest, this can awaken the source of power."

“…… It hurts, right? Xu Huabiao looked at Pei Xiuzhi, his eyes full of distress.

"It's much more painful than being beaten with sticks or something when practicing martial arts." Pei Xiuzhi smiled a little helplessly, "Mainly, I have to brand it myself, knowing that it will hurt, I have to do it myself......"

"It's very workouting!"

"Yes! It's just that even so, I haven't been able to awaken the source of my power. Pei Xiuzhi smiled and shook his head, "And here......"

As she spoke, Bae pointed to her own arm.

Only then did Xu Huabiao notice that a bright red mark on it was depicting a strange symbol.

"I carved this with a knife myself."

“…… Okay. Xu Huabiao saw this, and finally understood why Pei Xiuzhi didn't hesitate at all after hearing that he couldn't describe the source of his power that could be awakened.

Compared to the methods she had already tried......

It doesn't seem like a big deal.

“…… Lord, ...... next"

"Don't call me lord at such times." Xu Huabiao shook his head with a smile, touched the hand that had just touched the mark, and tilted it to the side.

A low sound.

Well.

……
