C47 The midnight eye and the missing man

Mo Xian didn't think that it was Qi Huaizhao who had knocked on the door so early. She went over, leaned on the door and asked: "Who?"

"Lady Mo, it's me."

Her voice was soft and soft, a little familiar. It should be one of the female workers.

Mo Xian opened the door: "What? What's the matter? "

The female worker stared straight at Mo Xian, her eyes filled with joy, "Mother Su asked us to bring you to take a bath."

"Bath?"

"That's right, I assume you haven't washed it in a long time."

Speaking of which, that was true. After rolling around in the Gaudy Temple, she couldn't wait to throw away everything she had on her. But since she didn't have any tools to bathe in, she endured it.

"Alright, wait a moment, I'll go get the clothes."

That female worker laughed: "No need, we already prepared clothes for Lady Mo early in the morning."

Mo Xian was startled, she did not expect the service to be so considerate, so she followed.

When they arrived at the bathroom, Mo Xian realised that he had been tricked. He said he was bathing, but all the girls were there with him. She wasn't used to standing up in front of others!

Mo Xian turned his body and was about to leave.

The female worker pulled her back, "Lady Mo, don't be shy. Everyone here is a woman, what have you never seen before?"

She helplessly dragged Mo Xian in with her, and could only enter.

There were already quite a few girls in the bathroom, their naked bodies were extremely pure and beautiful, Mo Xian's eyes were a little unnatural, he didn't know where to look for them.

The female worker who pulled her in was called You Ran, her name was rather pleasant to listen to.

"Lady Mo, come down quickly!" You Ran shouted as she took off her undergarment and went into the water.

Seeing that, Mo Xian also slowly went into the water, the slightly hot temperature spreading her pores open up, as Mo Xian comfortably sighed. However, those female workers seemed to be possessed by something and insisted on moving closer to her.

She suddenly thought back to what Qi Huaizhao had said. He had said that there might be something on her that they wanted.

Mo Xian thought, his expression somewhat impatient, "Alright, you guys don't have to squeeze in. If it's like this, there won't be a shower next time!" Even though she threatened him like this, she had already made up her mind that they would not bathe together again.

The female workers remained silent. They opened their mouths to say something, but then closed them again, not wanting to squeeze Mo Xian any more.

You Ran suddenly went over to her side and laughed: "Lady Mo, don't be offended. They rarely interact with outsiders, so they like you more. It's all good will, don't be afraid. "

Mo Xian didn't know whether it was kindness or not, she only knew that she couldn't let down her guard.

"Yes." she answered curtly.

"I heard that he created a fan yesterday that Mother Su is very satisfied with?" Suddenly, someone in the bathroom started talking about it.

Mo Xian knew about this, and she had even touched it before. Strange.

"That's right, that's why we'll have to rest for a day tomorrow."

"That's great. If we can make one every day, then wouldn't we be able to rest for only a day?" A slightly immature young girl laughed.

Someone poked her in the temple. "Do you think that fan is that easy to do?"

The group of people started laughing coquettishly again.

Mo Xian was standing at the side, thinking about something. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and asked.

Who knew that those female workers who had been teasing him all this while suddenly became frightened, as if they had violated some rule.

"Shh, Lady Mo, don't mention children in the embroidery workshop. This is a taboo. "

"Why?" Mo Xian did not understand.

The female worker who made her keep silent stopped once again and looked at her with a troubled look. Mo Xian originally wanted to stop her further questions, but You Ran told her: "When Mother Su was young, she had three children, two of them died in her womb, and the other one was five years old. She was burned to death by fire. "After that, when the lord died, Mother Su never got pregnant again."

Hearing this, Mo Xian finally believed that she could not mention this child here. If she had suffered from this before, the word "child" would be extremely painful to hear.

She was silent and did not continue asking.

The frolicking atmosphere became quiet because of Mo Xian's topic. A few female workers finished washing up and prepared to put on their clothes. Mo Xian inadvertently took a look and saw that on the back of one of the female workers, there was a lifelike peony embroidered on the side of the Valley of the Butterfly Valley.

She suddenly remembered that the pattern she had seen on the fan shop during the day was of a similar type. She was still thinking, when You Ran, who was next door, patted her shoulder.

"Lady Mo, you haven't finished washing? The water is going to get cold. "

Mo Xian nodded, "I've finished washing. Oh right, where are my clothes?"

You Ran was already dressed, so she walked to the side and brought Mo Xian some clothes.

Mo Xian took it and changed into it. He then saw that he was dressed in a white jacket with folded branches of Begonia.

You Ran's eyes flashed with amazement. The girl in front of him had a pink and tender face. Her spirited and pure almond eyes seemed to be shrouded in a dense watery light. Her lips were also red, making her seem especially alluring.

"Lady Mo is truly better looking in female attire!" She laughed.

Mo Xian was fine, it was not like no one praised her in the modern world, and she had gradually gotten used to it.

went back to his room and took out his phone. It was almost time, he did not know how Qi Huaizhao was doing.

A wave of sleepiness overcame her. She actually lied down on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

Mo Xian was woken up by a tiny scratching sound. After she woke up, she looked towards the window in a daze.

Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. The light from those small holes had been blocked. She looked over, and what was blocking the holes were eyes!

It was not a human eye, but rather a slender eye socket. The long, flat pupil had traces of gold in it. It was the eye of a snake!

They were looking at her!

Mo Xian suddenly wanted to jump up, but a hand came out from his side and covered her hand.

She turned around and saw Qi Huaizhao squatting beside the bed. He had the faint scent of sandalwood on his body, causing Mo Xian's heart to return to its original state.

But what were those things outside? He could not feel any ghost aura either.

She shook her head, signalling Qi Huaizhao to let her go before the man slowly retracted his hand.

"What's that?" Mo Xian seemed to be speaking to Qi Huaizhao with anger, "Demon?"

It wasn't that Mo Xian hadn't caught demons in the past, but he had rarely met one since he came to this world.

"Probably."

"What do they want?" Mo Xian felt goosebumps all over her body. In her life, she rarely feared anything, but she felt that snakes were the most disgusting animals.

"I don't know. You should think about what will attract them to you."

Mo Xian wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

"They won't attack me, will they?"

Qi Huaizhao shook his head, "If it had been an attack, you would have died in bed a long time ago."

His tone made Mo Xian shiver.

"Then what should we do now? They've been watching us like this for the entire night? "

"Go out and chase them away?" Qi Huaizhao said indifferently.

Mo Xian winced her toes, she did not dare to rush, it was too disgusting. Just thinking of that feeling made her stomach churn.

She lowered her eyes, and noticed that Qi Huaizhao was wearing a black robe tonight, his handsome face growing even whiter. If he wasn't with her tonight, maybe she'd be scared to death.

The System was right, she needed to hug this leg well.

"By the way, how did you get in? "Didn't you say that you're not allowed to go out after the hour?"

The man glanced at her and said, "I already said that we might not have to guard it. Maybe the people from the embroidery workshop are afraid that we might see those things outside."

Mo Xian thought about it, and felt that it made sense.

The outside world just watched. From time to time, there would be some "sizzling" sounds. However, there were no other movements. Mo Xian's head went numb from her gaze. She wanted to speak with Qi Huaizhao to dispel the uneasiness behind, but the man rarely spoke.

"Are you coming up? My bed is still very wide. " Afraid that he would be squatting down until his feet were numb, Mo Xian took the initiative to invite him.

The man looked at her. "You're so proactive with every man?"

Mo Xian was so angry that he rolled his eyes and ignored him.

It was unknown how the night passed, but the sky started to brighten.

After last night's shock, Mo Xian had not slept soundly the entire night, and his dense dark circles could not be hidden. Qi Huaizhao returned to the Northern Courtyard before daybreak.

Mo Xian wanted to change this room. He didn't know how long he could take the shock. But Qi Huaizhao had told her to stay put and not alert her.

The word "snake" suddenly appeared in her mind, causing her to shudder from head to toe.

She lay in bed for a while and then got up, ready to go find something to eat.

The moment they left, You Ran, who was wearing a pink dress, walked over, "Do you want to go eat, Lady Mo?"

Mo Xian nodded, "Yes."

"It just so happens that we're preparing to eat too. How about we eat together?"

That's right, the female workers in the fan shop were resting for today. Mo Xian thought for a while, then nodded his head: "Alright, then I'll be troubling you."

You Ran led her into a relatively small room. Inside, there were barely enough seats for two of the Eight Immortals Desolators. The seats were all filled to the brim, leaving only two behind.

You Ran brought Mo Xian and directly sat down.

"Hey, is Lady Mo here too?"

"Don't mind our food."

Mo Xian laughed, "Of course not, I have to thank you all for entertaining me."

She looked around and saw that almost all the women were there, except for the one with the flowers on her back. She had a strange feeling in her heart, but she did not express it. She pretended to be indifferent as she asked You Ran: "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here, let's start the meal." You Ran thought that she was hungry.

Mo Xian said slowly, "It seems like one more person is missing."

The girl at the side came over and asked, "You mean the one with the peony flower on his back?"

Mo Xian was startled for a moment, and then nodded.

"A female worker with a peony flower on her back will not appear again on the second day." The woman smiled and went back to eating.

The chopsticks in Mo Xian's hand stopped for a moment, feeling a bit surprised. They were facing a girl they had known for so long who suddenly disappeared, how could they have this kind of attitude?
