C23 Take Money

Chu Liyue followed the manservant and walked for nearly an hour before finally reaching the end of her life.

The name Fushu sounds good, but in reality it is a typical example of a "false name".

Those who lived in the city probably wouldn't think that they had good fortune.

Sewage flowed freely along the narrow black mud path, and the low houses were strewn along the side of the road like toys fiddled with by a two-year-old.

He occasionally saw two or three children by the roadside. All of them were wearing clothes and had terrified eyes. As for the young and able-bodied, he had not seen any of them.

This was simply the slums of Chu Clan!

The original owner had never been to such a place before, but Chu Liyue was no stranger to such places.

The manservant picked a clean spot on the road as he muttered the words "bad luck" until he reached a broken hut at the end of an alley.

"That's where you live." The manservant covered his nose and pointed casually, "Chief Steward said to be careful and to do things properly. When State Duke is free, he will take care of you."

The implied meaning was that if he spoke carelessly and caused trouble, not only would Chu Zhe not take care of her, he might even punish her.

Chu Liyue looked at the small house in front of her and raised her eyebrows. It would be really hard to find a house that could topple with just a gust of wind for her.

Not wanting to say more, she carried the Black Tiger and walked over.

There was only one wooden door and a large hole in the door. From the front steps, the green moss climbed up the wooden door, occupying the lower half of the remaining wooden door.

Chu Liyue stepped onto the stairs and gently pushed open the wooden door with her toes. The sound of unknown birds flapping their wings resounded inside the house. Dust began to fall from the roof like rain.

The Black Tiger flapped its small wings, completely wiping the smoke and dust off its body.

Under the sunlight from the hole in the ceiling, Chu Liyue was able to clearly see the layout of the room.

There were three rooms in the small room. In the middle was the living room and living room, in the east was a wooden bed covered with cobwebs, and in the west was a small pile of junk.

The ground was bumpy and uneven. The grass on the roof had long since flown off, leaving behind cracks of varying sizes.

There was no furniture in the room. There were also footprints of rats and insects that fled when they heard what was happening.

Chu Liyue shook her head. This Chu Zhe was really cruel. His blood related brother and sister-in-law could get him killed, and he also tried to kill his only niece. Now, he had even stripped the original owner of all his property and threw himself into such a harsh environment.

If she was really that young miss who didn't know anything about the affairs of the concubines, as a proud daughter of the heavens, who had just lost her Cultivation Level and fell into the abyss, she would probably only be able to hug her head and cry.

[This is no longer a place to stay.] Chu Liyue withdrew from the cabin. "Let's go find a place to rest."

No matter what the next step was, he had to eat and sleep well.

Fortunately she still had a lot of Crystal Coin on her, so she wouldn't need to eat or drink in the short term.

Chu Liyue carried the Black Tiger and hurriedly left the city. On the way, she knocked over two thin and weak men who were trying to take advantage of her.

[Hmm, Qing Hui, do you have some kind of private money?] Chu Liyue had the carriage by the side of the road to send her to the entrance of the inn with the best Shenjing, when she suddenly thought of a question.

The Qing Hui he saw that night didn't look like a poor person.

"Take it out and share it!" Chu Liyue carried the Black Tiger into the hall of the inn. She extended her hand and threw a handful of the Crystal Coin, asking for a good room.

While Chu Liyue was walking behind the waiter towards her number sixteen, she was still asking the Black Tiger for money.

The Black Tiger never said a word.

He did have a lot of 'private money' – in other words, it was all his own money. How did it become 'private money'? It was as if he was hiding money behind someone's back!

However, after a thousand years, he didn't know if it would still work.

Even if he could, he couldn't move. Who knew if that person was still staring at him?

The current him was still far from being able to reach his peak. Once he was discovered by that person, he would only be able to fall asleep for another thousand years. However, this woman would probably cause his soul to shatter.

[What a stingy guy.] Chu Liyue walked into the room and put the Black Tiger on the bed, preparing to take a bath.

The Black Tiger laid on the bed, completely ignoring Chu Liyue's teasing, quietly thinking about where it could get the money to raise the woman.

When Chu Liyue walked into the bathroom, she discovered that this Ru Guiyi Inn was indeed worthy of being the tavern with the highest Shenjing.

The round bathtub made of white jade had a huge surface area. Even if two or three Chu Liyue bathed together, it was still spacious enough.

The gold-plated outlets emitted faint fluctuations of a Profound Strength. As long as one placed their hands above the outlets, hot water would flow out from the outlets slowly.

The cold water outlet on the other side was just a normal outlet, blocked with a piston that could release cold water at any time.

After Chu Liyue put in the bath water, she comfortably lied down in the bathtub and began to bathe.

After staying in the Guarding Mountain for a month, although there was still hot water in the Chu Clan camp that could be bathed everyday, it still could not compare to the feeling of being bathed in the bathtub.

All kinds of bath products were carefully prepared beside the bathtub. Chu Liyue soaked them for a while before she began to wash her hair.

The Black Tiger lied on the bed and thought for a long time. It remembered that there should be two other places near Shenjing where it used to store its treasures, but it was not sure if they had been discovered and taken away in the past thousand years.

When he came back to his senses, Chu Liyue was nowhere to be seen.

In the next room, the sound of water splashing could be heard. The Black Tiger blinked its eyes and lightly jumped onto the carpet in front of the bed, then silently walked over.

The bathroom door was closed, but not bolted. The Black Tiger stretched out a little paw and pushed. The bathroom door opened.

Chu Liyue was bending over to wash her long hair. Her black hair hung down the outside of the bathtub, looking as wet as a fine black brocade.

She knelt in the bathtub and gently rubbed her long hair with both hands. Her slender white body was stretched out, revealing the undulating curves of her body.

The Black Tiger was stunned. It turned its head and jumped back, then jumped onto the bed with two steps. It lied down in the position it was in a moment ago, as if it had never come down before.

After an unknown period of time, Chu Liyue's footsteps could be heard.

The Black Tiger raised its head, and its black eyes immediately widened.

All of Chu Liyue's luggage was in their hands. Now that she had been expelled, it was likely that her attendants were also facing danger.

However, she didn't know where they were nor did she know where to start.

Now that he had showered, he didn't even have a change of clothes. He could only wrap himself in the bathrobe prepared in the inn.

From Chu Liyue's point of view, the bathrobe that returned to the inn was still quite conservative. The round collar, long sleeves, and the bottom part of the bathrobe were all covered tightly, much more so than the bathrobe from her previous life.

The Black Tiger did not even think about it.

After Chu Liyue had finished her shower, she had dried her hair and draped it over her shoulders, wetting her clothes in front of her.

Her long neck and delicate ankles were exposed, and her skin was pink and pink as peach blossoms.

Drops of water rolled down from his forehead and down his neck, disappearing into his collar …

Chu Liyue wiped the water off her face with a clean cloth and walked to the front of the bed.

[It's time for you to take a bath …] Before he finished his sentence, he saw Black Tiger standing up abruptly, her figure was as fast as lightning, jumping to the top of the room's tallest wardrobe.

With her butt facing Chu Liyue, her tail tightly coiled around her body, even her golden flame had shrunk quite a bit.

[Are you that afraid of bathing?] Chu Liyue could not help but laugh. Now, she suspected that Qing Hui was a Golden Flamed Black Winged Tiger Awakened, and not a Black Tiger in disguise.

After all, the ones who were afraid of bathing were small animals and not men.

The Black Tiger lay motionlessly on its front paws.

He was not a real Golden Flamed Black Winged Tiger, why would he be afraid of bathing? Moreover, this body was made from his own Profound Strength. Even if it was dirty, as long as the Profound Strength moved, it would immediately be clean! What bath?

Seeing the Black Tiger ignoring her, Chu Liyue threatened, "If you don't take a bath, I won't hug you if you stink."

The Black Tiger turned to look at Chu Liyue hesitantly. Chu Liyue stretched out her hands, her red lips curled up, and her phoenix eyes flew diagonally.

Women are naive.

He's a Black Tiger, black! How could he wash them clean?

Why would a man be so fragrant? Thinking about how the enemy would smell a sweet scent when he used the Shadow Domain to attack him, and then when they knew about it in advance, the Black Tiger would think that it was a stupid way to describe it.

However, looking at Chu Liyue's outstretched hands and the firm look in her eyes, the Black Tiger finally gave in shamelessly.

He stood up helplessly and moved step by step to the edge of the wardrobe. Finally, he closed his eyes and jumped into Chu Liyue's hands.

[That's more like it.] Chu Liyue happily carried the Black Tiger into the bathroom, put in a pool of warm water and began to help the Black Tiger bathe.

Black Tiger felt that he had to gather the Profound Strength as soon as possible and transform into their human form. Otherwise, this woman would have to treat him as a pet after a while!

He must let her know that he was a man!

The Black Tiger had boundless ambitions in her heart, but they could not change the tragic fact that he had been rubbed all over by Chu Liyue.

Whole body! Everywhere! Not a single one was left out! They were all washed clean!

The Black Tiger did not know whether Chu Liyue was magnanimous or forgetful. Could it be that she had already forgotten about the matter of her not even wanting to hug him when he first materialized to meet her?

With its wet black fur sticking to its body, the Black Tiger looked pitifully thin and small.

Chu Liyue was drying his hair with a cloth, muttering, "Why are you so thin? You can't just drink animal milk, can you? How about we eat... Dog food? "Meow, how can there be dog food in this world!"

The Black Tiger closed her eyes. This was the first time she felt that continuing to sleep for a thousand years might not be the worst choice.

After the shower, Chu Liyue pulled on the rope on the wall. Soon, a waiter came to the door and asked, "How may I help you, esteemed guest?"

Chu Liyue told him through the door to buy two sets of women's outfits, both of which he needed. Then he ordered a few dishes and sent them to his room.

The Black Tiger turned over and jumped onto the table to shake its fur: "I'm going out."

[Where to?] Before Chu Liyue could finish asking, Black Tiger had already opened the window and jumped out: "Take the money."

Raising a woman with money!

How could he let his woman wear clothes bought by another man! And the undergarment!
