Because of the pain from Leng Hong Xiu, they had been delayed for a day and a half by the time they were able to get back on the road. It was already the morning of the third day!
In this era of women, riding and training was not prohibited among the women, so there was no lack of girls with good riding skills. After she found out, Leng Hong Xiu did not change back into a man's outfit, and naturally would not admit that it was because Sen Luo had changed her into a woman's outfit, and subconsciously wanted to see her in a woman's outfit.
When Sen Luo saw that Leng Hong Xiu did not change back into her men's attire, he was naturally happy. He felt that although this woman's mouth was not pleasing to the ears, at least her movements showed signs of softening.
However, when they walked down the stairs and saw that many people, especially the men, were gazing at Leng Hong Xiu's face with stunned gazes, Sen Luo's joy was instantly overshadowed by anger.
Her cold, emotionless eyes swept over those men who dared to be impudent and covet the beauty of her sleeve.
When those people received the ice-cold eyes that did not seem human at all, they immediately retracted their gazes. Then, they turned around and pretended to eat their meal seriously. They no longer dared to raise their head or turn around to look at Leng Hong Xiu.
After throwing a silver ingot on the counter, Sen Luo's expression turned unhappily as he took Leng Hong Xiu's hand and quickly walked towards the door where the waiter had long since led the horse.
If it was before today, she would have flung his hand away without any hesitation. She hated men who treated women as their property the most, but seeing that he had really and sincerely saved her, she decided to bear with it this time.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the door, they found out that there were even more people on the street, no matter how cold his eyes were, it was impossible for them all to not look at Leng Hong Xiu at the same time, not to mention that no matter how angry he was, he could not reveal his true form on the spot and scare them away, so Sen Luo's face could not help but tighten.
However, how could he have expected that the temperament of this woman, dressed in women's clothes, would follow her? Wearing her clothes, the aura around her was naturally not the kind that could be easily bullied, but was instead capable of causing people to be infatuated with her unparalleled beauty and ignoring her coldness, just like that night in 'Red House', when she saw the red-clothed lady standing on the stage with the people below her unable to close their jaws, her coldness became a characteristic that attracted even more attention.
Once she wore the men's clothes and wore the same red sleeves, although she still had a peerless appearance, no one would doubt that she was a woman. The reason why she had such a calm demeanor made people completely ignore her looks, and they would first be intimidated by her aura.
It was too late for Sen Luo to realize this point. He only wished to leave the city as soon as possible and go to a place devoid of people. This way, no one would dare to look at Leng Hong Xiu's face so blatantly.
If Sen Luo was unhappy, how could Leng Hong Xiu like him?
In the past, she was the head of a group of owls, the influential gang leader, the eldest sister, and not many doyens who followed her out of the city would dare to look at her face, not to mention others, when they went out they would go through layers upon layers of strict protection, seeing either the tyrant or the gang leader, completely different from her world, and her partners, or the bosses of their subordinate groups, were all respectful towards her, and not to mention looking at her so openly, even those who offended stayed for a while longer than their line of sight.
Excluding the time at 'Red Chamber', she intentionally wanted to attract popularity and wealth so that she could stand on the stage in full attire. This was the first time she received so many people's coveting gazes in broad daylight, so the discomfort and unfamiliarity naturally didn't need to be mentioned!
The two of them mounted their horses at the same time, disregarding the pedestrians on the streets, and quickly spurred their horses to run towards the city gates. The people in front of the horses dispersed, and the people behind the horses regrouped, discussing amongst themselves.
They quickly left the city and rode their horses for several miles. The two of them slowed down their horses and asked, "Leng Hong Xiu, why didn't you ask me?"
"Ask you what?" Leng Hong Xiu lightly raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"Why didn't you ask me if Leng Qingyun's corpse was still there?" He thought that Leng Hong Xiu would ask him about this after waking up, but after waiting for two nights, she didn't ask. Instead, Sen Luo was not used to it.
"Is there even a need to ask? Just by looking at how you've withered from your words and actions these past two days, I know that the answer is correct! What else is there to ask! " Leng Hong Xiu curled her lips in disdain.
"Then why didn't you scold me?" So she already knew. Then she actually didn't call him an idiot. It really was abnormal! With her personality, wouldn't this be the best chance to mock her?
"What's the use of scolding you? I have already said it, I will not solve the problems for you, so Leng Qingyun did not do anything. In the end, it has nothing to do with me, so I scold you and you will just have to put in the effort yourself! "
On one hand, he felt strangely happy for Leng Hong Xiu not to have scolded him. On the other hand, he felt a little depressed, he had not even taken the opportunity to take back the neidan, and had never treated her fair and square, using human words, it could be said that he was very loyal. How come it was Leng Hong Xiu's turn, for her to let go of all her responsibilities and troubles so easily?
Even if that Leng Qingyun wasn't dead, he didn't believe that he could regain his consciousness. A person without a soul, wouldn't he be a living dead person? What's there to be nervous about?
Even if someone came to take revenge for Leng Qing Yun, he would take care of it himself. No matter how many ordinary humans came, they would only be providing him with Spiritual Energy as food. They would not even be able to move a finger of Leng Hong Xiu. You don't even know how to say something perfunctory on the surface?
However, at the same time, because Leng Hong Xiu was so pleased with him and did not treat him as a target of fear, he finally understood why he did not take the Beast Pill out from her stomach.
That was because ever since his inner pellet fell into her hands, Leng Hong Xiu's guard and wariness towards him had obviously been much more relaxed than before she had given him her inner pellet. And perhaps it was because she was certain that she had the upper hand and a favorable situation, although Leng Hong Xiu had spoken harshly to him, her actions were not as distant as when they first met.
This was something he had sensed first, but he had not yet formed the correct awareness of this feeling in his mind.
Now that Leng Hong Xiu acted like this again, seemingly emotionless and unconcerned, but there was a shallow familiarity in her words, as well as her indifferent attitude towards the issue, which immediately stimulated her understanding of the situation.
Originally, what he liked was the familiar and intimate attitude that was only shown to him by Leng Hong Xiu. Of course, perhaps the word 'intimate' was used a bit self-righteously, but Sen Luo really wanted to say that he felt that he was not too far away from her. Furthermore, talking like this, Leng Hong Xiu made Sen Luo feel like he was travelling with someone else.
However, if he took back the inner core while Leng Hong Xiu was still unconscious, the situation would be completely different.
Because she was also a person who did not trust anyone, she was even more cautious than him, who was a demoness. Her familiarity and allowing him to get close to her was built on the foundation of her familiarity, she felt that even if she did not have the ability or the ability, she would not be able to threaten her. Once she took back her neidan, the situation would be different.
There was no doubt that the tense atmosphere would once again rise up between the two of them.
His goal was to develop Leng Hong Xiu into his partner, to advance and retreat together with him, to sweep through the Fey world and the Mortal Realm. Thus, no matter what, he could only try to establish a good relationship with Leng Hong Xiu, and not the two opposing sides.
After understanding the pros and cons, as well as the goal, Sen Luo's mood suddenly brightened. After experiencing a long period of weakness and not being able to find a good method to solve the problem of Leng Hong Xiu, Sen Luo finally found a suitable method that had a breakthrough significance. At the same time, he also established his next course of action on the issue of Leng Hong Xiu, which was to play the pig to eat the tiger!
Everyone, you must not underestimate this mere five words from our Sen Luo. You must know, this is a conclusion that he came to after being provoked by Leng Hong Xiu's harsh words to the point of spitting blood, in fact, is this move useful against Leng Hong Xiu? In the future, in several practical cases, I will personally demonstrate it to you!
Back to the main topic. After thinking through the key point that he did not understand in the past, he did not feel uncomfortable listening to Leng Hong Xiu's cold words. Instead, he felt joy in his heart, thinking that with Leng Hong Xiu's mockery and mockery, one day, Leng Hong Xiu would realize that if she did not scold him one day, she would not be able to stand it, and he would have achieved his goal!
Moreover, he understood the position and progress of the two before Leng Hong Xiu. Then, he would have the chance to win first. Sen Luo could not help but look forward to the day when Leng Hong Xiu would be conquered by him.
"Hong Xiu, are you really that heartless? Are you looking at me when I'm in trouble? At least since I saved you, you have to help me! I'm very proactive in helping you solve your problem! Speaking of which, what exactly is on your body that made those people with unknown origins chase after you wave after wave? " Sen Luo immediately continued to act coquettishly, blinking his eyes playfully at Leng Hong Xiu.
Leng Hong Xiu was startled, she thought that this fellow would be angered to the point that her face turned green, her forehead was swollen, she wanted to scold her but was unable to do so. She never thought that this stupid snake would actually be scolded silly by her, or her own brain did not even manage to think of it, not only was it not angry enough, it even smirked at her, it was actually quite new!
"You took the initiative to help me solve my problems? Didn't you want to replenish your spiritual energy and fill your stomach? As for what I have on me, why? You want it? And are you sure it's someone of unknown origin? To me, it is indeed unknown, but to you, I am afraid, hmph! "You are still far from playing dumb with me!"
Sen Luo's heart shook as he inwardly exclaimed. As expected of the woman that I, Sen Luo, have taken a fancy to. Her acute senses are indeed enough to make one's teeth itch! Don't know where she found out that she knew the origins of this group of people, but after thinking about it for awhile, she didn't reveal anything, thinking that it might be Leng Hong Xiu who had cheated him, she continued to laugh as if it was a thousand kilograms: "Hong Xiu, you wronged me, didn't you? Although I replenished my spiritual energy, my main goal is still to solve your problem, no? As for the origins of those people, if I were to investigate them, I would naturally be able to find out where they came from. Right now, I am together with you for 24 hours a day, how would I have the time to find out? "
"It doesn't matter, anyway, it will only be the dead. Who cares about the origin? If you are willing to hide, I'm not curious. Let's go!" After saying that, Leng Hong Xiu laughed coldly as she spurred her horse forward.
Sen Luo shrugged and chased after him with a relaxed smile.
