Chapter 271 Anilan
Chapter 271 Anilan
"If you want to go, go in by yourself. I've already made a big mistake by bringing you here."
He took a few steps back as he spoke, and Lou Xiao stepped forward and grabbed him, "We've come this far, you can't run away, either come in with me, or... I'm going to kill you right now."
She looked so ferocious that it was quite scary. Qizhi couldn't break free and was dragged into the dark room by her unwillingly.
As soon as he entered, he felt that it was much cooler than outside. Before he could see what was inside, Lou Xiao heard the sound of some living creature being startled.
Qizhi stood by the door and refused to leave, repeatedly assuring, "I won't run away. I'll stand here and wait for you!"
"Light the lamp." Lou Xiao said concisely.
"Then I'll order and you go by yourself." Qizi was still bargaining, but when he saw Lou Xiao's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything else.
He took out a tinder from his bosom, put it to his lips, blew out a spark, and threw it into the darkness.
Then I saw the fire rising up, and the firewood accumulated in a large pot seemed to have kerosene added, burning with bursts of crackling sounds.
The surroundings were suddenly illuminated, and the sounds of movement became louder and louder, as if everyone had been disturbed from their sleep and woke up one by one.
Lou Xiao took a quick look and saw a very spacious room filled with iron cages of all sizes.
Some were piled up on the ground, while others were hung on the beams, swaying slightly as her arrival startled the sleeping creatures.
In the firelight, the creatures in the cage hissed and stuck out their tongues and bared their teeth in her direction.
Lou Xiao could barely recognize that there were black snakes as thick as arms, blue-skinned lizards, and spiders as big as heads...
The shape of Nanzi's poisonous creatures is really special.
In a cage in the corner, there seemed to be a human-like figure curled up.
Lou Xiao raised her foot to see what was going on, but unexpectedly she heard a sound of breaking air coming towards her with great momentum.
Then it was Qizhi's voice that was extremely excited, "I knew you were back!! Anilan! Beat her up! How dare she threaten me!"
Lou Xiao turned around and knocked down the flying hidden weapon, and then more dense and fine needles as thin as cow hair flew towards him.
A girl with light clothes and dark complexion stood in the shadows for an unknown period of time, but Lou Xiao did not even notice her.
This weapon——
Lou Xiao drew out the long sword behind him to block part of the attack, but because of the simple clothes he was wearing, he couldn't block it, so he dodged it.
The girl followed closely, her eyes as silent as the night, and she clenched the short knife in both hands and stabbed at close range, aiming at the long sword in Lou Xiao's hand, in an extremely tricky way.
The long sword touched her short knife, and the silver-white blade and the black cold blade with a strange cold light contrasted sharply.
It was indeed Nan Zi. I don’t know what kind of poison was smeared on the knife. It was scary just looking at it.
Lou Xiao had fought with his master, with seniors in the martial arts world, and had sparred with his senior sister's secret guards countless times.
It's not that there aren't some vicious and tricky fighting styles, but this girl is obviously good at it. She is ruthless and every move is aimed at killing her opponent.
If this were to go out into the world, he would be scolded to death by those people in the world.
Lou Xiao didn't want to hurt her, nor did he want to be touched by the poisonous blade, so they became evenly matched.
She was trying her best to get rid of the girl's entanglement, but the girl failed to touch her at all after several attempts, so she became a little anxious.
Lou Xiao spotted a flaw, hit her exposed waist with the sword, somersaulted backwards to create some distance, and squatted on top of the cage hanging from the beam.
The girl touched her waist and looked up at her, her eyes full of dissatisfaction but she did not chase after her. She just shouted at Lou Xiao,
"Hit me if you want! Don't touch the lizard's cage!"
Qizhi also ran in and stood beside the girl, saying in a weird voice, "Anilan, go after him! What are you afraid of!"
The girl turned around and cursed, "Shut up!"
"I haven't seen you for a year. Why are you so fierce... Don't you like me anymore?"
Qizhi's aggrieved face was still very intimidating, but Anilan didn't buy it.
"I haven't seen you for a year, but you've slept with a lot of people! I heard about you as soon as I returned to the village. Qieyue Village wasn't enough, you slept in the next village!"
Qizhi was scolded so much that he was speechless. He shamelessly said, "When you come back, it will be just you. I promise!"
"He even climbed onto my bed today." Lou Xiao said coldly.
Anilan shifted her eyes from him to her, and after looking her over, she said nonchalantly, "It's okay if it's you."
what?
Lou Xiao thought she would be even angrier. What do you mean it’s okay if it’s her?
Qizhi tried to explain, "She and I were both drunk and slept together. We didn't do anything!"
Anyone who believes this is a fool. Anilan is obviously not that easy to coax. "I didn't do anything. Why would you bring her, a Central Plains person, to the Nine-story Tower? If I hadn't been there to watch over her, would you have helped her steal the poison?"
Lou Xiao once again said, "I'm not drunk, nor am I poisoned. You guys probably know best what method he used."
This surprised Anilan, and she turned around and asked Lou Xiao, "You don't like him? Why? He is the most popular guy among the girls in our village. Have you seen anyone better in the Central Plains?"
Lou Xiao was speechless for a moment. Is this the point?
But he still replied, "There are many talented people in the Central Plains, and there are all kinds of men."
So I just didn't fancy him.
The girl was silent upon hearing this and glanced at Qizhi beside her, as if she discovered for the first time that he was just like that.
She took back the dagger in her hand, became more polite to Lou Xiao, and said with her hands on her hips,
"Come down first, let's talk about the men of Central Plains..."
Qizi was not in good condition. Could it be that she really didn't like him anymore?
"Anilan, the people of the Central Plains are very ugly. You are not really interested in Central Plains men, are you?"
Lou Xiao landed gently on the ground, and the girl asked him, "Is she ugly? If she is ugly, would you use seduction to seduce her? She is not ugly, and the people of Central Plains are definitely not ugly either."
"But you have seen the people from the Central Plains who came to the village..."
Qizhi forced a smile, "People outside won't take us seriously, so why should you be interested in them?"
Anilan was annoyed with him, "Are you serious about me? Why do you care about me?"
The girl left him and walked towards Lou Xiao, "What on earth are you doing here for? These poisons can be bought. If you steal them, you will only kill yourself."
"Of course I didn't steal. Elder Qu Yan brought me to the village because I was poisoned and I came here to seek a solution."
Lou Xiao asked her casually, "The elder said that we don't know when the Gu Master will be free, and asked me to wait, but I can't wait any longer. May I ask if there are any experienced Gu Masters who are free recently?"
When Anilan heard that it was Elder Qu Yan who brought the people, he lost his vigilance. "The day of sacrifice is coming soon, and everyone is very busy. I am afraid that only..."
She glanced at Qizhi who hadn't left yet, "They are the only ones who are idle."
