Xiao Qi frowned. "Tell them that I'm in isolated cultivation to heal my injuries."
"Yes." Suru nodded and said, "Miss, didn't this Zhou Haodong save your life?"
Xiao Qi said, "When Chu Li returns, I'll ask him to help me repay this favor. It's not appropriate for me to interact with him."
"Why is that?" Su Ru was surprised.
Xiao Qi glared at her and did not say anything else.
Su Ru's bright eyes turned and she suddenly understood. She pursed her lips into a smile and floated away.
After a while, she returned. "Young Miss, he said that he will be waiting outside the mansion. You will see him when you come out of seclusion."
"… Alright." Xiao Qi nodded. "I'll go see him."
Su Ru said, "If I really want to see him, Chief won't have any objections, right?"
"Let's wait and see." Xiao Qi nodded.
An hour later, Xiao Qi and Suru appeared outside the Public House.
Zhou Haodong, who was dressed in a yellow robe, stood quietly outside the Public House. The noon sun shone on his face, and his whole body seemed to be glowing. His whole body exuded an inexplicable aura, which was very eye-catching.
Xiao Qi squinted her eyes. She knew that he had accidentally released his aura to attract attention.
He was trying to force her to meet him.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Qi, who was dressed in a snow-white robe and her face was covered with a white veil, gracefully walked down the stairs and approached Zhou Haodong. Her temperament was like that of a fairy. Zhou Haodong opened his eyes and could not help but secretly praise her. His heart was burning with passion.
Even if such a fairy-like woman were to marry someone else, her value would not be affected. Moreover, when he thought about how she was Chu Li's wife, he felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure. As long as he could press this woman down, he would be able to surpass Chu Li.
If Chu Li found out about this, would he go crazy?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt.
In the past, he had snatched other people's women. It was exciting, but it had never been as exciting as this woman in front of him. This was because she was Chu Li's woman, and she was as beautiful as a fairy. The combination of these two made him inexplicably excited.
Xiao Qi stepped forward and gave him a fist salute. "Forgive me, Young Master Zhou. Since the Public House is in a state of alert, we can't invite outsiders into the Public House."
"Haha, no problem." Zhou Haodong smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I came here to wait for Miss Xiao. However, now that the masters of the Divine Blood Church have left, there's no need to be so nervous."
Xiao Qi shook her head. "The Church of the Divine Blood will come at any time. It's better to be prepared."
"Alright." Zhou Haodong nodded and said, "Miss Xiao, let's go to a restaurant and have a seat. The scenery in Chong Ming Town is great. It's a pity that there's no one to introduce you to. What a pity."
Xiao Qi said, "Young Master Zhou, please follow me into the Public House."
"Oh?" Zhou Haodong smiled and said, "Can I go in?"
"Young Master Zhou is not an outsider." Xiao Qi nodded lightly. "Young Master Zhou, please!"
"Please!" Zhou Haodong saw that she really let him in, so he changed his mind and didn't rush to make a move.
After he arrived at Chong Ming Town, he realized that the masters in Chong Ming Town were not worth mentioning at all. It was truly a remote place. A master like Chu Li was just a special case. The rest of the people were nothing to worry about. With his abilities, he could easily roam the Great Ji Dynasty.
He was like a giant who had come to the Dwarf Kingdom. Suddenly, he became arrogant and thought that everything could be done as he pleased. He didn't have to worry about anything, and at most, he could just escape.
Initially, he planned to snatch Xiao Qi away as soon as he saw her. She would not be able to resist. He did not want to conquer Xiao Qi's heart, he only wanted her body.
However, Xiao Qi suddenly invited him into the Public House. He felt that this was a rare opportunity.
He originally wanted to directly barge in and destroy the Public House. That way, Chu Li would naturally appear. However, the Public House was shrouded in a formation. He wanted to barge in but could not find the way. He could not enter the main gate at all.
If he could get Xiao Qi in the Public House, it would be even more exciting!
When he thought about this, he excitedly closed fist saluted. As Xiao Qi stepped into the main gate, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed. It was like a lush forest. Then, they passed through the forest and arrived at a lake. There was a small boat on the lake.
The two of them stepped on the small boat and floated to an island.
"This is the place for VIPs." Xiao Qi pointed at the lush island and said, "Young Master Zhou, you can play as you please."
"Good place." Zhou Haodong praised. "Are there VIPs on the island?"
Xiao Qi shook her head. "It's a troubled time now. There are no VIPs in the Public House."
Zhou Haodong smiled. "It seems that the Church of the Divine Blood has a great influence on the Public House."
Xiao Qi nodded gently. "Yes."
The two of them floated down from the boat and came to a small pagoda on the island. Suru had already prepared wine and dishes on the island. After she served them, she stood beside Xiao Qi.
After Zhou Haodong drank a few glasses of wine, his eyes were burning as he stared greedily at Xiao Qi's beautiful face.
The white veil hindered him from eating, so he took it off and put it aside, revealing her real face.
Xiao Qi's expression was calm as usual. It was as if she did not notice Zhou Haodong's strange expression. She put down her glass and said, "Young Master Zhou, I still have some matters to deal with. Young Master, please rest on the island first. I'll accompany you outside later."
Zhou Haodong waved his hand and smiled. "Miss Xiao, it's not good to leave me here alone."
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Xiao Qi's hand.
Xiao Qi dodged it easily. "It seems that Young Master Zhou can't hold his liquor and is drunk. Goodbye!"
She said as she stood up.
"Wait!" Zhou Haodong shouted in a deep voice. "Is this how Miss Xiao treats people who have saved her life?"
Xiao Qi shook her head. "We'll talk about it another day!"
She took a step forward and was about to disappear in a flash.
Zhou Haodong moved faster. In an instant, he reached for Xiao Qi's wrist and grabbed her sleeve.
Xiao Qi's movement suddenly stopped.
There was a formation on the island that not only protected the outside but also the inside. Xiao Qi had already activated the formation. She did not expect Zhou Haodong to be so cunning. He looked like he was lustful, but he was always on guard against her. He decisively attacked her directly and delayed her opportunity to enter the formation.
"Ding …" Zhou Haodong's long sword was unsheathed. It turned into a cold light and pierced Xiao Qi's chest.
When Xiao Qi moved, he had goosebumps all over his body. His intuition told him that an unprecedented danger was approaching.
He immediately knew that he had underestimated Xiao Qi. He would be the one who would die if he showed mercy, so he did not hesitate to destroy the flower.
"Tss …" He pulled out his sword and moved sideways to avoid the spurting blood. Then, he stabbed Xiao Qi's chest.
Xiao Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Ding …" The sword stabbed the jade talisman on her chest. Instantly, the jade talisman shattered and was stained with Xiao Qi's blood.
"Woo …" A bright light suddenly appeared and expanded. It was as if the sun had fallen in front of him.
Zhou Haodong subconsciously retreated and waved his sword to guard against hidden weapons.
When the bright light dissipated, Chu Li appeared.
He reached out and patted Xiao Qi's chest. Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared out of thin air. Endless spiritual energy surged into Xiao Qi's chest. A mist shrouded the top of Xiao Qi's head and turned into water droplets that fell and disappeared into her body. However, her clothes were not wet.
Zhou Haodong wielded his sword and stabbed Chu Li.
Chu Li did not turn around. He directly hit behind him with his palm.
"Bang!" Zhou Haodong was sent flying and disappeared.
Chu Li ignored him and patted Xiao Qi's chest twice. He frowned and looked at her.
Xiao Qi smiled and looked at him. Her face was pale.
That stab had caused her to lose too much blood. Even with rich spiritual energy, she needed time to recover.
Chu Li pitifully touched her face and sighed. "I should have come back earlier."
Xiao Qi smiled and shook her head.
