MTL - The Villain Always Wants To Kill Me-Chapter 42 Shukokumaru
A round of icy moon hangs in the sky, the moonlight is as bright and clear as snow, and the surrounding stars are dimmed. The wheels of the carriage ran over the busy long street and stopped in front of Zuixian Tower.
Tao Jingyi lifted the curtain of the car and asked Zhong Ling beside him, "What time is it?"
"Miss Hui, it happens to be Haishi." Zhong Ling said.
Tao Jingyi jumped off the carriage and looked up. Zuixian Tower is built along the river. It is a four-story building with brightly lit lights and endless singing and dancing. The night wind came head-on, shaking the willow branches by the river. There was a faint sound of flute from upstairs, and the sound of flute was hidden in the noisy voices of people, so it was not clear.
Tao Jingyi listened carefully for a while, then walked towards the building. A clerk came to greet him attentively, and said with a smile on his face, "Miss Su, you are here, hurry up, please come inside, the room you reserved has been reserved for You are ready."
Tao Jingyi put his hands behind his back and said to Zhong Ling, "You wait for me downstairs."
Zhong Lingfu was blessed and withdrew.
"Should the food and wine be served now, or later?" the waiter asked with a nod and bow.
"In a while." After Tao Jingyi finished speaking, he walked up the wooden stairs.
The building is very lively. There is also a song and dance performance on the first floor. The beautiful dancers are waving their sleeves and spinning in the center of the high platform. The exquisite figure makes the men drool.
The further you go up, the lower the sound of singing and dancing. When you reach the fourth floor, the sound of singing, dancing and people downstairs has faded a lot, but the sound of flute that you heard at first becomes more and more distinct.
Compared with the hustle and bustle downstairs, the flute sound seemed a bit lonely, and there was a lingering silence, reminiscent of a ray of moonlight cast on the lake in a cold night.
Tao Jingyi pushed open the door, and a gust of wind blew in her face, messing up her hair at the temples. Behind layers of curtains, a man in Tsing Yi was sitting in front of the carved wooden railing, holding a jade flute in his hand, sitting facing the wind, playing the flute to the moon.
In front of him is the river like a jade belt. The cold night is quiet, the river is soupy, and the cold moon shines on the heart of the river.
Tao Jingyi raised his hand and brushed aside the curtain, and walked towards the man. The sound of the flute whimpered and gradually became lower, disappearing in the moonlight. Hearing the footsteps behind him, the young man put down his jade flute and turned his head, with a faint smile in his eyes: "Girl, long time no see."
Tao Jingyi silently recited the words "Long time no see" several times in his heart, then suddenly ground his teeth, rushed forward, and stretched out his hand to expose his face.
Feng Linzhi was unprepared, but she was thrown into his arms. Fortunately, there was a railing behind him so that the two of them would not fall into the river together.
Tao Jingyi suppressed him with the weight of his body, and groped his cheek with his fingers, from the corner of his eye to the back of his ear.
Her nails had just been trimmed, and it didn't hurt to poke them, but it was a little uncomfortable. When she scratched his cheek, Ling Feng Linzhi couldn't help but froze.
"Huh, it's true." Tao Jingyi touched for a while, but couldn't touch the mask, murmured something in a low voice, let go of the wind and stopped.
The smile on Feng Linzhi's face deepened, and his eyes were full of light: "Girl, you and I have been separated for a long time, and you miss me, it's understandable, but there's no need to touch me so passionately as soon as we meet, right?"
"Who touched you!" Tao Jingyi shook off goose bumps, "I was checking to see if your face was real."
"Of course it's true. Such a pretty face can still be fake. If you don't believe me, you can touch it again." Feng Linzhi propped his head on one hand, sat leaning against the railing gracefully, and winked at her.
Tao Jingyi took a step back: "No, I'm afraid of touching it, you want me to promise you with your body."
Feng Linzhi stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed her wrist, pulled her to his side, raised his eyebrows and said: "Girl, you told me when we met before that you want to promise me with your body, and said, are you Have you already seen me?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, and when he said "promise with your body", it was like whispering between lovers, with a touch of lingering meaning.
The two of them changed positions abruptly. Now it was Tao Jingyi who was leaning against the pillar and was trapped in front of the railing by him, while Feng Linzhi was standing condescendingly.
Tao Jingyi's cheeks turned red little by little, as if someone had put rouge on them. The two of them were a little close, so close that they could feel Feng Linzhi's breath, and every time he took a breath, a scorching heat wave hit his face.
Tao Jingyi felt hot all over, and her limbs were a little stiff due to embarrassment. In a panic, she pushed it out with a palm, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."
There was some internal strength in her palm, Feng Linzhi didn't force it, but turned sideways to avoid it. Tao Jingyi got a gap, stood up immediately, and dodged to hide behind the curtain.
The curtains are all green gauze, layered upon layer, blown by the wind, like spring water rippling. Tao Jingyi's exquisite body was hidden behind the curtain, her jet-black hair, picturesque eyebrows and eyes were breathtakingly beautiful.
Feng Linzhi's throat rolled involuntarily, his heart felt hot, and he said in a low voice: "If you want to make a promise with your body, it's okay..."
As soon as his voice sounded, there was a burst of screams downstairs and the sound of tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground. It is unknown which customer caused the trouble.
Tao Jingyi didn't hear clearly, poked his head out, and blinked his moist eyes: "What did you say?"
Feng Linzhi froze for a moment, and the noise downstairs was even worse. At this moment, there was a "duk-duk" sound from the door, and Tao Jingyi walked over and opened the door.
The guy outside the door smiled at her flatteringly: "Miss Su, I'm sorry, something happened downstairs and I disturbed you. I'm sorry, I'll take care of it right away. This is the food and drink you asked for. As an apology, we will send you a free You have a pot of flower carvings."
The man put the wine and dish cloth on the table, stepped back, and closed the door behind him.
Feng Linzhi walked slowly to the table, picked up the pot of flower carvings, poured out a glass, picked it up and took a sip: "Good wine."
Tao Jingyi sat down opposite him, and said, "I won't drink with you today, it's a mistake to drink."
Feng Linzhi put down the wine cup, and smiled slightly: "Then I won't drink it either, we'll replace wine with tea." As he spoke, he picked up the teapot, poured two glasses, and handed one to Tao Jingyi.
The teacup was painted with blue and white flowers, and he rested his fingers on the side of the cup, and there was a small pale scar on the knuckle of his little finger. It should be an old wound. Looking at the scar, it looks like a burn.
Tao Jingyi stared at the scar, thinking to himself, since he and Feng Linzhi have known each other for so long, yet he has never noticed this scar. If he had noticed earlier, he would not have been easily deceived by Duan Feibai last time.
She was sure that Feng Linzhi on the boat that day was pretended by Duan Feibai, and what she saw in the dream was also real. When she was so drunk, she lifted Duan Feibai's long sleeves and touched the scar on his wrist.
Seeing her staring at his scar, Feng Linzhi couldn't help moving his little finger. He took a sip of tea and said calmly, "This scar was scalded by my master. When I was young, I didn't pay attention to martial arts..."
"Forget it, I'm happy today, let's not talk about these old things." He changed the subject, put a pig's trotter into Tao Jingyi's bowl, "Girl, eat more, I haven't seen you for so long, you They're all skinny."
"Thinner? Really?" Tao Jingyi was so happy that she almost jumped up. She put her hands on her hips and gestured at her waist, "Am I really thin?"
"I've lost a lot of weight." Feng Linzhi couldn't help reaching out and pinching her cheek, "The face is not as chubby as before."
"It used to be baby fat, and I've grown. Have you noticed?" Tao Jingyi stood up and turned around.
Feng Linzhi took a serious look: "Well, it has grown. It used to only reach my neck, but now my head can touch my chin."
Tao Jingyi smiled "hehehe", not to mention how happy he was.
In this book, no matter the male lead or the male supporting role, they are all tall and tall, making her look like a short winter melon. Even Su Xingchen is taller than her. Every time I stand in front of them, I can't help being overwhelmed. momentum.
Tall, slender waist, long legs and long legs have always been Tao Jingyi's aesthetics, but the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny.
Tao Jingyi picked up the pig's trotter with chopsticks and took a bite. She wanted to eat more and try to grow taller.
Feng Linzhi stared at the way she was eating, his eyes couldn't help but soften a bit, he suddenly remembered something, put down the teacup in his hand: "You will expose my face as soon as we meet today, but someone pretended to be me to deceive you?"
Mentioning this matter, Tao Jingyi felt overwhelmed, and she let out a long sigh: "Hey, don't mention it."
Feng Linzhi's eyes dimmed a bit: "What is the reason you came to me today?"
He didn't believe it, this girl missed him, she always avoided him before, this was the first time she took the initiative to find him. That day when the little girl sent the message to the Puppet Villa, he thought he heard it wrong.
Tao Jingyi put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the teacup in front of him, poured a full cup, put his hands in front of him, bent the corners of his eyes, and smiled sweetly: "Actually, I'm looking for you today, I really have something to do , No one can help me with this matter except you."
"Oh?" Feng Linzhi had a strong smile on his face, but he didn't take the tea cup.
Tao Jingyi didn't mind either, she put the teacup on the table, sat down beside him, moved closer to him, and said mysteriously: "I heard that your Flower God Sect has a sacred object, I want to borrow it use."
"There are many sacred objects of the Flower God Sect, I don't know which one you are talking about?" This is not wrong, the fruit that Tao Jingyi accidentally ate last time is the sacred fruit of the Flower God Sect.
"Holding breath pill." Tao Jingyi rubbed his hands.
The smile on Feng Linzhi's face gradually disappeared: "Where did you hear that?"
"I heard it from the storyteller." In the original book, it was mentioned that the breath-holding pill of the Flower God Sect, once taken, would enter a state of suspended animation, stop breathing, and have an immortal face, unless it was awakened by a secret method.
Feng Linzhi picked up the teacup in front of him, tapped the bottom of the cup lightly with his finger: "This closed breath pill is a secret that I have not passed on, except for the previous leader, no one knows it. I don't know which storyteller it is, but the supernatural power is so great. , I'd like to see it."
Tao Jingyi's heart froze, her face froze for a moment, she laughed dryly and said, "I don't remember, isn't there a saying called 'There is no impenetrable wall in the world', maybe some leader of your sect accidentally leaked it to the little girl." Lover, it's not impossible."
"The canon clearly states that anyone who leaks secrets will be killed without mercy. You know that I have taught so many secrets, it seems that I will have to keep you." Feng Linzhi suddenly suppressed his smile and said sharply.
Tao Jingyi's complexion turned pale instantly, and his pupils shrank sharply. At that moment, the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze, he even forgot to run away, and just stared at him blankly.
"Are you scared?" Feng Linzhi saw her eyes widen with horror, and laughed softly with a "puchi", as if there were ripples slowly spreading out in those brown eyes.
Only then did Tao Jingyi realize that he had teased her again.
"You..." Before Tao Jingyi could get angry in the future, Feng Linzhi's outstretched hand pressed her shoulders, and pressed her back on the seat when she had just stood up.
"Of course I was just trying to scare you, but it would be different for someone else." Feng Linzhi's voice was soft and soft, which made her heart tremble violently.
"Girl, I don't know where you know so many secrets, but you have to remember one thing, not everyone will indulge you like me." Feng Linzhi raised his eyes, which tightly locked her , "Tell me, what do you want the Xixi Pill for?"
Tao Jingyi's blood rushed to the top of his head because he made fun of him, and he was about to explode, but he lost his temper again after being persuaded by his gentle words.
She was silent for a while: "...fake death."
"Um?"
Tao Jingyi leaned close to his ear, whispered in a low voice for a while, then sat back down, put his hands on his lap, lowered his head, and whispered: "Feng Linzhi, in this world, I have only one friend , if you don't help me, I don't know who to turn to."
"Can you tell me why?"
"Can we talk about it later?" Tao Jingyi raised his eyes, his eyes were full of pleading.
"Okay, when you want to say it, say it."
Tao Jingyi immediately smiled, and stretched out his arms to give him a hug: "Feng Linzhi, you are so kind, I will always remember you."
"Forever? You have to remember what you said today." Feng Linzhi took a deep look at her and paused, "I didn't bring the Xixi Pill with me. I'll send someone to deliver it to you in a few days."
Tao Jingyi successfully got the Xixi Pill, and he was in a great mood. She nodded hastily: "It must be, the kindness of Master Feng Da is unforgettable."
I still don't forget to serve him with food and tea.
"The past masters of this Guanxi Pill have never even given away their little lovers, so they just lost to me." Feng Linzhi let out a long sigh pretending to be regretful, "It's still a loss-making business."
"I won't let you suffer. When I am free, I will make my heart hurt for Master Fengda in the future, and I will not hesitate." Tao Jingyi picked up a chopstick of eggplant, stuffed it into his mouth, and blocked his mouth.
Feng Linzhi's words "If you promise me with your body" just got stuck in his throat.
Tao Jingyi's pink face was close at hand, with curved eyebrows and a clear smile, which made him feel dizzy.
Half of the dishes on the table were fed to Feng Linzhi by Tao Jingyi. Feng Linzhi obviously didn't drink, but he was a little drunk. Through the candlelight, he looked at Tao Jingyi from afar.
"Girl, come here, I have something fun to show you."
"What?" Tao Jingyi was a little stuffed, and looked at him without interest.
Feng Linzhi took out a dagger from his sleeve, and when the dagger was unsheathed, Senhan's blade shone brightly in the candlelight.
But she also has a dagger, which is sharper than his. Tao Jingyi was even less interested.
Feng Linzhi took the dagger and twirled it in his palm. Without warning, he pointed the blade of the dagger to his chest and directly inserted it into the heart.
"The wind is coming to an end!" Tao Jingyi's complexion changed drastically, and he rushed over, pulling his hand away, looking anxious and panicked, almost crying, "Are you crazy?!"
The corners of Feng Linzhi's lips curled slightly, and he let go of the strength in his arm, allowing her to grab his wrist, and hurriedly checked his heart. Where the dagger should have been stuck, nothing happened.
Tao Jingyi let out a "huh" and raised his hand. He was still holding the handle of the dagger in his hand, but the blade was gone.
Tao Jingyi raised his eyes, and met Shang Feng Linzhi's smiling eyes.
She's been tricked again.
Tao Jingyi angrily let go of his hand.
"Okay, don't be angry, I just want to show you how to play this." Feng Linzhi grabbed her hand and stuffed the dagger into her palm. He had the idea that it was worth dying for her just like this.
Tao Jingyi was curious about the design of the dagger, so he couldn't care less about getting angry. He sat back and studied the dagger in his hand with his head down.
Feng Linzhi stretched out his hand, and lightly pressed the handle of the dagger. With a "chuckle", the blade that had been retracted suddenly popped out again.
"I got this thing by chance, and I gave it to you, maybe you will need it one day."
Tao Jingyi's eyes revealed a look of astonishment, there was such an ingenious design in ancient times. After trying several times, she almost disassembled the mechanism at the handle to see what was inside.
