C24 I Won't Let You See My Master Again

Chu Liyue hurriedly opened the window, but the Black Tiger was already nowhere to be seen. This fellow was simply too fast.

[Be careful!] She didn't know if the Black Tiger could hear her, but Chu Liyue still warned him in her heart.

[Yup.] The Black Tiger's voice was a little weak, but it finally made Chu Liyue relax a little.

Not long after, two servants came in with food boxes. Chu Liyue gave each of them two Crystal Coin s and then started to eat.

After the meal, a servant woman brought in the clothes that the waiter had bought. Chu Liyue tipped the servant and threw her clothes to the side. She then sat on the bed in her bathrobe and meditated.

Chu Liyue couldn't calm down when she thought of Qing Hui, who didn't know where to get the money from.

When he woke up in this world, he met Qing Hui. Until now, while the Little Black Tiger looked like it was being protected in her arms, she had actually obtained invisible support from that small body.

As long as she carried the Little Black Tiger, she was not alone.

So it turned out that she had unconsciously become so reliant on him?

Chu Liyue lay on the bed. Even now, she still didn't know Qing Hui's true identity. Why did he have such a feeling of unconditional dependence? Habit is a terrible thing.

Now that she wasn't with him, there was actually an indescribable feeling in her heart. Lost? Empty? Worry?

She was just teasing him, asking if he had any private money. Was this guy really that serious?

He just didn't know where he would go to get the money — he wouldn't steal it with his own ability, would he?

Chu Liyue shook her head. Although she hadn't known Qing Hui for long, she could feel the faint arrogance on his body. It was not the kind of arrogance one would feel when standing on top of something, but rather the feeling of being able to look down on everything from the bottom of their heart.

Such a person would never do something like stealing other people's belongings.

The moonlight from the window shone through the half-open window and onto the carpet in front of the bed.

From who knows where, there was a feast, and the melodious sounds of bamboo and the lingering singing drifted over with the night wind.

Chu Liyue was in a bit of a trance as she recalled some of the experiences of her previous life.

After an unknown period of time, the sound of flapping wings came from outside the window.

Chu Liyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Qing Hui had returned?

She sat up from the bed and saw a snow-white feathered bird fly in through the half-open window, flapping its wings and landing on the table.

The bird's wings had traces of blood-red at the roots. Its feathers were messy, and the crown on its head had been cut in half. It seemed to be injured.

Seeing Chu Liyue, the little white bird let out a wail, as if it was asking for help.

Chu Liyue stood up and stretched out her hand to catch the little white bird. She carefully examined the wounds on its wings and discovered that someone had cut off its feathers with a single slash. On the crown of her head, there were faint marks of animal teeth gnawing.

From the looks of it, the little white bird had escaped after being attacked and injured.

Just by looking at the strength and sharpness of that saber strike, he knew that the person who attacked was extraordinary. Even so, it was still able to escape. This petite and frail little white bird was not a good person.

Chu Liyue crushed the wounded pill that she carried with her all along. Since she didn't know how much to give the little bird, she only lightly smeared half of the powder on the injured part of the bird. Then, she tore a clean cloth into pieces and carefully tied its wings to prevent it from tearing the wound open again with force.

The little white bird rubbed its beak against Chu Liyue's hand, chirping as if thanking Chu Liyue for her help.

Seeing the injured little white bird, Chu Liyue started to miss the Black Tiger even more.

I hope the Black Tiger is not hurt like this little bird.

"Are the guests here?" The door was knocked as the waiter quietly asked.

"What is it?" Chu Liyue was slightly surprised. It was already midnight, yet the waiter who seemed to have returned to the inn still knocked on the door. Something must have happened.

"Guard Patrol Officer, please forgive me." Just as the waiter finished his sentence, a loud voice called out, "Quickly open the door!"

Guards? Chu Liyue frowned. That was the imperial army responsible for the security of Shenjing. What had happened to them that they returned to the inspection office of the inn in the middle of the night?

Her hearing was very good, and she could hear the nearby rooms being called out by the people. It seemed that this Patrol Officer was quite a large figure. What were they looking for? People? Object? Or — A bird?

Chu Liyue picked up the plain robe bought by the waiter and put it on. She walked over to open the door and saw two tall soldiers in armor holding long spears standing outside.

The two soldiers looked at Chu Liyue and said in a respectful manner, "We are here to patrol." A soldier raised the wooden sign in his hand, identified himself, and walked past Chu Liyue into the room.

Chu Liyue followed them and found out that the places they were examining included the drawers in the closet. She knew in her heart that they were obviously not looking for the same person. No one can hide in a drawer, but a small bird can.

The two soldiers walked up to the bed and stopped in their tracks. Chu Liyue's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

The bed curtain was hanging down, and a five-year-old child could be vaguely seen lying inside the bed, sleeping soundly under a thin blanket.

Chu Liyue saw that the two soldiers were only slightly shocked, not had she found their target, so before the two soldiers could ask, she stuck out a finger in front of her lips and shushed them.

The two soldiers looked at the cute child on the bed, and even unconsciously lowered their pace.

After they finished inspecting all the corners, they quietly left the room and nodded at Chu Liyue. "Sorry to disturb your rest, Madam."

Chu Liyue could only say "no harm" in a reasonable manner and shut the door.

As the footsteps faded away, Chu Liyue pinched the nose of the sleeping child. My lady! My lady! She had never been married in her two lifetimes. Just because of this little thing, she became a madam!

The boy opened his eyes that were as big as grapes and looked at Chu Liyue innocently.

Chu Liyue remained unmoved as she pinched his nose, not moving at all.

The child's mouth was agape, as if he was about to cry.

"Cry." "If you dare to cry, I will immediately shout out 'There is a white bird'." Chu Liyue said softly as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

The boy's expression immediately changed. He got up and rushed towards Chu Liyue, his face full of admiration as he shouted, "Mother, Mother! You don't want Bai Tong anymore? "

Chu Liyue stood up and dodged the incoming attacks. She pointed three fingers at Bai Tong and said, "Three, two, one …"

Bai Tong could see that Chu Liyue would not be soft-hearted. He became depressed: "Ok, ok, what do you want!"

Everyone clearly liked him to act cute. Women should prefer him to be cute.

"Who are you? "What did the guards want with you?" However, Chu Liyue did not have any intention of showing mercy to Bai Tong.

She could see clearly that Bai Tong was transformed by the little white bird. To reach the stage where the Strange Beast could transform into a human and was proficient in human language, it would need at least a few hundred years of age.

He was only wearing the skin of a child. If Ye Zichen were to pity him, then he would have been tricked to death for some reason.

Bai Tong jumped off the bed and stood in front of Chu Liyue, his height not even reaching her waist.

He wore a snow-white robe with feathers engraved all over it. Coupled with his exquisite facial features and innocent expression, he looked exceptionally adorable.

"I am the Rank 5 Strange Beast, Snow Feathered Heaven Crest Phew. Because my master was attacked and I was injured, I escaped. These Janissaries are here to capture me. " Bai Tong lowered his head and looked at his toes, slowly rubbing the patterns on the carpet and whispering.

Rank five Strange Beast? Chu Liyue raised her eyebrows. Didn't they say that level five Strange Beast were rare?

"They didn't know you could transform into a human?" Chu Liyue asked.

"Apart from my master, no one else knows that I can transform and speak!" Bai Tong looked up with a proud smile on his snow-white face.

"Then you escaped, where is your master?" Chu Liyue asked curiously.

"My master is amazing!" Bai Tong said proudly, "How can those people be a match for my master!"

Chu Liyue looked at the admiration on his face and said deliberately, "Your master is so powerful, why did he let you be injured? To let you escape by yourself and get chased by so many guards? "

Eh, then again, wasn't it against the Imperial Guard? Wasn't it against the Emperor? Who in the world was so amazing that they dared to go against the emperor?

"My master is luring the enemy deeper! He was prepared long ago! " Bai Tong was getting a little anxious, "You woman, you have such a beautiful face, why are you so blind?"

He angrily looked up at Chu Liyue, pointed a short finger at her and said, "I was planning to let you sleep with my master just to thank you! Now, I won't let you sleep! "

Chu Liyue almost sat down on the carpet.

What the hell, Master Bird, your way of thanking me is truly unique and amazing! I thank you!

"About that, let me ask, how many people have you thanked with your master's body?" Chu Liyue retreated two steps and almost sat on the bed. She could not help but ask curiously.

She wanted to know how pitiful the owner of this bird was.

"Tch!" Bai Tong looked at her in disdain. He didn't know how many women had given him gifts in order to get close to his master.

However, his master's family was already forcing his master to find a woman to have sex. He saw that this woman's looks were good, and she had great courage. She had to be very careful when applying medicine for him, so he decided to help her sleep with his master.

She actually did not cherish such an opportunity.

This woman did not know what she had missed. If she knew the truth, she would definitely cry. She would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Bai Tong's heart became a lot more balanced.

He climbed into bed, pulled up the covers, and went to bed.

Chu Liyue held her forehead helplessly.

Although Bai Tong seemed to be a child and his words and actions seemed very childish, Chu Liyue knew in her heart that he was probably a hundreds of years old old old demon who shared a bed with such an old demon … A little unacceptable.

But chasing him down and making a five or six-year-old injured child sleep on a carpet while lying on his back didn't seem like the right choice.

Furthermore, she wasn't familiar with Bai Tong, so even if she went to sleep, she wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. Although she helped Bai Tong, her previous life told her that she couldn't be too cautious.

So the end result was that she sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of the bed, ready to meditate all night.

With Bai Tong's disturbance, Chu Liyue's worry for the Black Tiger lessened.

However, not long after he sat down, the shadow under the window flickered, and a boot embroidered with the pattern of the moon and stars stepped out.
