Quick Wear: Inferiority is the best dowry for men

Chapter 158 I Miss You Very Much in Hehuan Sect 22

"Plop." A person fell down. The sound was so small that it didn't attract anyone's attention.

He Sheng saw them approaching step by step with dissatisfaction on his face. If they went any further, they would disturb their sleep.

However, there were much fewer assassins this time than last time, only 20 in total. She used poison to deal with some of them, talismans to deal with some of them, and swords to deal with some of them.

There were things lying all over the ground. He Sheng tore off a piece of clothing from someone and quietly wiped the blood off her sword, making sure not to dirty her Phoenix Sword.

Cui Wuji couldn't sleep. How could he fall asleep? The night was too quiet, which only made him more nervous. Moreover, it was uncomfortable to sleep in the carriage, so the night was really torturous for him.

I heard a noise in the middle of the night and couldn't help but lift the curtain to look outside. What I saw was He Sheng standing in the distance polishing his sword.

He Sheng seemed to sense something and looked up at him. She put the sword back into the scabbard and strode to his side.

Cui Wuji stared blankly at her as she approached.

"It's getting late, go to bed early." He listened to her.

"……it is good."

After lowering the curtain, Cui Wuji laughed for no reason, "As expected of a person from the upper realm..."

The breeze was light and he was woken up by the sound of He Sheng's passing footsteps.

The moment Qingfeng lifted the curtain and looked at He Sheng, she regretted why she didn't lower her voice. She thought everyone was asleep and there was no need to worry too much.

"Sorry to disturb your sweet dream."

Qingfeng shook his head, "I don't blame you, but it's me who shouldn't have lifted the curtain to disturb you."

"Go to sleep, it's still a long time before dawn." He Sheng urged him to go back.

Qingfeng didn't move. "Can you stay with me outside? I'm scared to be alone..."

He Sheng reached out her hand again to rub his head. Qing Feng noticed her intention and offered his head to her, "If I disturb you..."

"It's okay. I'm fine anyway." He Sheng was very happy. His hair was as smooth as silk, not frizzy at all. "I'll be outside. You can go to sleep."

Qingfeng was reluctant to let down the curtain. He Sheng also saw his hesitation and said with a smile, "You are so timid. How did you live in Nanfeng Pavilion before?"

He didn't say anything. Just when He Sheng thought he wouldn't answer this, he suddenly spoke again, "In Nanfeng Pavilion, I will light candles all night long."

"Are you not afraid of the light?"

"Um……"

"Oh, I see." He Sheng took out a small lamp from the storage ring. The lamp emitted a warm yellow light, illuminating the faces of the two people.

"This is for you. It's an ever-burning lamp. One spirit stone can keep it burning for a year. When it stops burning, come and exchange it for spirit stones."

The warm yellow light softened the faces of the people. Qingfeng took it and said, "Thank you."

"Go to sleep."

-

Cui Wu Ji asked An Yi to deal with all the corpses before dawn. When everyone woke up, everything was normal except for some "water stains" of the wrong color on the ground.

Qing Zhao happily went in to massage Cui Wuji's legs and said to him casually, "Last night was so peaceful. I haven't slept so soundly in a long time."

Cui Wuji raised his eyelids, looked at him and said nothing.

She wasn't exaggerating, she could indeed sleep soundly.

On the second day, we learned from our experience and found a town to stay for the night. Because we didn't want to be too conspicuous, we told everyone who asked that we were a wealthy businessman who was relocating. We found an inn in the town and booked all its rooms.

The proprietress, who had made a lot of money, offered to provide them with free dinner.

I no longer have to sleep in the wild and I can still eat hot meals. I feel so happy.

But there were too many people and not enough rooms, so He Sheng was forced to sleep with Qingfeng.

Cui Wuji felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the two of them walk into a room together, but he couldn't tell why he felt uncomfortable and just thought it was a recurrence of an old illness.

He should be happy that she liked the "gift" he gave her.

……

Although there were still assassinations of varying sizes in the three days that followed, they were nothing compared to those on the first night.

After solving the problem, He Sheng complained to Cui Wuji that the people who came to assassinate him were becoming more and more perfunctory. Do they really take you, the regent, seriously?

At that time, Cui Wuji paused for a moment in making tea and did not respond to He Sheng's words.

These things only prove that they think he will fail during the disaster relief work. Well, he has to do the job that no one else wants to do. If it is not dangerous, he would want to see if they have been switched.

Heading south, we finally saw the city gate of Liaoyun Town on the afternoon of the fifth day.

According to the local officials' report, the town was hit by a highly contagious plague. As the place was not wealthy, the granaries were empty due to the disaster relief efforts. Disease and famine turned the town into a mess.

Walking into the city, He Sheng couldn't believe that this was Liaoyun Town where she once stayed.

The prefect wrapped himself up tightly to welcome them. Cui Wuji was invited to his house for entertainment and was told about the disease in detail.

He Sheng originally thought that it was just an infectious disease and that it could be cured by isolating it early and taking the right medicine. However, the more he listened, the more outrageous it seemed.

"This disease doesn't seem like a plague... At first, it's just fever and vomiting, and then the sick people will start to fester, and slowly there will be no healthy flesh on their bodies. In the end, they will become like zombies! They will pounce on and bite living people when they see them! The people who are bitten will soon become like those zombies!"

"They are not afraid of pain, fire or water... Only by dismembering them can we kill them completely!"

"There are not many living people in this town! Sir! Please save us!"

Cui Wuji's face was not very good after hearing him. This was beyond common sense! How could an ordinary person like him deal with it?! No wonder there were so few assassins on the road, no wonder they all recommended him.

He Sheng stood at the window and looked at the scenery outside. The spiritual power here was not clean, as if it had been polluted by something. This might be the cause of this "disease".

But He Sheng couldn't think of why he had to do this. Not to mention that people from the upper realm were not allowed to interfere with the contracts of the lower realm at will, the karma of harming so many innocent people was enough to stop him from becoming an immortal.

Demon cultivators? This was all He Sheng could think of, but the territory of the demon cultivators was tens of thousands of miles away from here. There was no need for them to attack this place first instead of moving to a town closer to them.

The prefect knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Cui Wuji waved his hand and said, "I will find a way."

He Sheng turned around and said, "I can also help deal with it."

Cui Wuji was relieved that she took the initiative to offer to help. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to solve such a problem alone.

It's different with her involvement.

"There is no time to lose. Take me to see those zombies first." After He Sheng finished talking to the prefect, he said to Cui Wuji, "You are not in good health. Go back and rest first. I will go alone to see them."

Cui Wuji opened his mouth to speak, but He Sheng interrupted him immediately, "Your legs are not convenient, so it's useless to follow. I can go and take a look by myself."

"Qing Zhao, take your master to rest."
