If she had hurried on her journey and didn't talk to him about so much nonsense, then she would have already arrived at the town and wouldn't have to suffer so much in this damned place.
"Let's see if there's anyone." Ba-Serpent suggested.
"Aren't I looking for it? You think I went out in the rain to take a bath? " Shadow hated not being able to meet his expectations.
Fortunately, the Heavens did not disappoint those who were kind. They really did find a thatched cottage. Smoke curled up in the rain, adding to their poetry.
And indeed, there lived a poet. To be more precise, a poor scholar.
The scholar was surnamed Zhou, with a single character each.
"I would like to compose a poem under such circumstances. Would the two of you like to listen to it?"
The three of them sat around the table, each with a bowl of rice porridge in front of them.
It was naturally not easy to refuse a great deity and a great figure like him that was living under someone else's roof.
"Mister is light and easy." Ruying was extremely polite.
The surnamed Zhou frowned. "Although this lady is dressed like a village woman, her tone and manner of speaking are different from that of an ordinary rural woman."
Don't say it, this Mr. Zhou is quite shrewd.
"I …" Ruo Ying felt a little embarrassed. She blamed herself for betraying him by saying 'Mister'.
The Ba-Serpent is an impatient person, "Do you think we are bad people? "Then we'll leave now."
The surnamed Zhou quickly stopped them, "It's neither. Big brother, although you look ugly and annoying, but this lady here knows that you are definitely a good person. I did not have any intention of chasing you away, but I happened to notice it and said it.
When the Ba-Serpent heard these words, it was even more unwilling. Comparing him to a man or a woman, even making him look like a corpse.
"I can't stay here any longer!"
The Ba-Serpent stood up and left without a shred of mercy.
Ru Ying didn't intend to keep him, so she just drank the porridge by herself, not minding at all.
The surnamed Zhou was puzzled. "Miss, this …"
Phantom Shadow put down his chopsticks. "He's not stupid. There's no need to get out in the rain just for a single breath."
After all, their clothes had only been dried with firewood, and they were already feeling warm. They definitely did not want to repeat the same mistake.
When the Ba-Serpent heard this, he felt that what she said made sense. If he didn't want to stay in a nice thatched cottage on a rainy day, there was no need for him to do so.
Therefore, he came back shamelessly and sat down to drink his porridge.
The surnamed Zhou was very satisfied. He cleared his throat and said, "Then I will be writing poems."
Ru Ying originally had some expectations, but after hearing his poem, she realized her expectations were quite high.
"Spring sleeps for no reason, mosquitoes bite at every place, the wildfire burns endlessly, and spring winds rise again." After saying that, he looked at Ruo Ying expectantly, hoping that she would give him an evaluation.
When the Ba-Serpent heard this, he laughed coldly. "If that counts, then I will too."
Surnamed Zhou's eyes widened, "Please enlighten me, Big Brother."
This elder brother was born with the look of a bandit. Was he sure that he knew how to impart poetry?
With this question in mind, he decided to listen.
Great deity was indeed a great deity. She said casually, "How much trouble can I have? A group of eunuchs going to the brothel. When I'm poor, I'll take care of myself. When I'm rich, I'll take care of my wives and concubines; when the moon shines, I'll take care of two pairs of shoes on the floor …"
"Enough! Enough!" Illusory Shadow was infuriated. He thought that the surname Zhou was ridiculous enough, but he didn't think that this Ba-Serpent was even better.
Luckily, they were not teachers, so wasn't this the standard way to mislead others?
"Why did you interrupt me? I'm not finished yet. "
It was as if in front of an outsider, this woman had never given him face.
In any case, great deities had their own dignity. How could they be humiliated time and time again?
"Ba-Serpent, you're only half a man, can you not show off, please? Look at Mr. Zhou, he's been scared by you. " Phantom cast a sympathetic look at him.
At this time, surnamed Zhou's mouth was abnormally wide open. He must have been quite frightened.
"No, no, no! Big Brother's literary talent is indeed worthy of respect! I wonder if I can take you on as my master? " After he finished speaking, he kneeled down in front of the Ba-Serpent.
Great Immortal and Phantom Shadow were both shocked.
Was there something wrong with his head with this surname Zhou?
Right now, it was about time for great deity to be frightened, but she still had to put on airs, "I was careless. Since you insist on taking me as your master, then you should have some respect and respect for me."
Just look at him, even though he got a bargain, he still acted good. He didn't forget to extort from others.
Phantom was endlessly contemptuous of his personality.
Today, she finally experienced what it meant to be like a group of people, to be like a group.
The surnamed Zhou said helplessly, "Master, please forgive the three bowls of porridge that were cooked just now, but I don't have a present for you."
During the battle, this place was relatively close to the battlefield, so he was implicated. As a poor scholar, it was already a blessing that he had something to eat.
However, from tomorrow onwards, he would not even be able to eat porridge.
The Ba-Serpent felt sympathy for him in its heart, but its mouth didn't budge. "When the day comes when you are able to take out the gifts I have taken a fancy to, then come take me as your master."
He had thought about it just now. In fact, accepting a disciple was a very simple task. However, considering the beauty of the man, he had no choice but to step back.
After having a disciple, he would definitely put a portion of his energy into teaching them. Then, when it came to men and women, he wouldn't be able to single-mindedly do it.
It was laughable to say that he thought so much about beautiful men, but they didn't know anything at all.
"Master, you accepted me now, I really admire you." Zhou was excited, and his ears started to turn red. This brother of his was truly talented. He definitely had to acknowledge him as his master and ask for advice to enrich himself.
Although Ru Ying didn't really admire the Ba-Serpent, she still felt that the surname Zhou was pitiful. It didn't seem right not to help him.
"Great deity, why don't you be merciful and take him as your disciple?"
"Thank you, Mistress!" "Thank you, Mistress!" The surnamed Zhou turned into a shadow and knelt down, beaming with happiness.
She had truly offended them both by addressing her as "Mistress."
"I have nothing to do with her!" Great deity was in full fury.
Hmph hmph, a woman who would never give him face in the mortal world, how could she compare to a beautiful man. Although a beautiful man was neither hot nor cold to him, no matter what he did for a beautiful man, he would still be willing.
Don't think that bandits don't know how to love. When a bandit loves someone, he can be more crazy than anyone else.
"Then... Then, did I misunderstand? " The surnamed Zhou spoke with a wronged tone. Although the two of them did not look like they were on the same level, it looked like they were completely a pair of lovebirds.
"Of course, how could I like a pig?" Like a shadow, he curled his lips.
In her heart, there was only her Young Master. Even if her Young Master was already married, there was no way to change her unchanging love for him.
When you fall in love with someone, you can't fall in love with the other person at the same time.
She admitted that she and the Ba-Serpent had been fighting with each other every day, and it was indeed suspicious. However, they had only gotten along because of Young Master.
In her heart, the great deity Ba-Serpent could be a friend that she could bully as she wished.
In the Ba-Serpent's heart, Phantom was the only woman that he did not hate so much.
