You are already in a different world and will only return to reality in two days.
When the two of them returned to This Pill, as time passed..,
The strangulation marks on the Five Tigers Retreat's neck became even more obvious.
There was a circle of bruises on his white and tender neck, which looked very scary. Reiko hurriedly pulled the Five Tigers Retreat, who kept resisting, to the "pharmacy" to apply medicine.
During this time, Reiko kept feeling waves of cold air surrounding her. She thought that she had caught a cold.
Perhaps she was worried that the Interrogator who had been beaten would complain to the Government of the Hour.
During this time, the Five Tigers Retreat had been distracted and did not notice this.
However, after the medicine was applied, he realized that there was a bandage wrapped around his neck, which made him look like he was wearing a scarf.
Not only was it unsightly, but it was also so hot that he stuck his tongue out.
The Five Tigers Retreat's obvious disdain made Reiko rub his head again. In the end, he opened it again. However,
This time, he did not use as much force as before. Then, the Five Tigers Retreat fled as Reiko raised her eyebrows and smiled.
In the afternoon..,
Reiko did not allow him to do anything else. On the other hand, because the sundries she bought had been delivered,
She started to get busy.
The Five Tigers Retreat sat under the eaves of the corridor with the baby tiger in his arms and watched her walk back and forth.
He was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
In a daze, he felt that..,
This kind of life was not bad... If, if My Lord did not exist, he would definitely like her, and the other brothers would definitely like her too.
My Lord, where are you? Do you really not want us anymore?
Thinking of this, the depressed Five Tigers Retreat walked to the saber rack in the room with a baby tiger in his arms. He touched the gorgeous red and gold scabbard of the Tai Dao and muttered, "Brother Ichii, what should I do?"
Originally, he was just talking to himself. However, in the next moment, a familiar wave of power came from the Tai Dao in his hand... That kind of warm, reliable, and powerful power.
The Five Tigers Retreat didn't expect to receive a response at all. Their eyes widened in surprise as they watched the Tai Dao in his hand suddenly tremble and slowly float into the air.
"I-Brother Yiqi?!" The members of the Five Tigers Retreat exclaimed in surprise.
Tai Dao gently touched the Five Tigers Retreat's head, as if a hand had gently caressed it. The Five Tigers Retreat's eyes immediately turned red. "I-Brother Yiqi, I miss you so much …"
Tai Dao touched his head, then touched the bandage on his neck. He pointed outside, and the entire saber exploded with a murderous aura. The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned for a moment. Their innate tacit understanding allowed them to react immediately. They immediately grabbed Yiqi's scabbard and shook their heads anxiously. "Brother Yiqi, don't misunderstand. It wasn't Master who hurt me!"
After recounting today's trip to the House of Ten Thousand, the Five Tigers Retreat felt that the room was getting colder and colder. He shivered and said, "That's right. If Master didn't save me, I might have been strangled to death by that inquisitor …"
"Master even beat that fellow up for me. Although she always used the baby tiger to threaten me, she actually took good care of me. So, I don't know how to face her …"
Seeing his troubled and awkward expression, Tai Dao paused and touched his cheek again, as if to comfort him.
"Little Retreat, it's time to eat!"
A clear and pleasant female voice sounded outside the room. The Five Tigers Retreat wiped their tears and looked at Tai Dao. "Brother Yiqi, what should we do now?"
Tai Dao paused, walked around him, then returned to the saber rack and stood still.
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned. They went forward and called out softly, "Brother Yiqi?"
Tai Dao moved a little in response.
The Five Tigers Retreat immediately grinned.
"Little Retreat, hurry up!"
"Coming!" Hearing the approaching footsteps outside, the Five Tigers Retreat quickly responded and whispered to Tai Dao, "Brother Yiqi, I know what you mean. I won't tell Master. I'll come and accompany you later."
After saying that, Reiko, who came to look for them, also entered the room. The Five Tigers Retreat quickly pretended that nothing had happened and turned around with the baby tiger in his arms. However, they didn't know that his "I have a secret that I can't tell you" expression was especially obvious to Reiko.
"Hmm?" Reiko walked over and immediately noticed that the Tai Dao next to the saber rack had moved. She looked at the Five Tigers Retreat and saw that his eyes were red. It was obvious that he had cried.
"Why are you crying again? Little crybaby! "
It wasn't easy for the Five Tigers Retreat to have a good impression of her, but because of her teasing, the Five Tigers Retreat lowered their standards. "I'm not a little crybaby!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing that he was angry, Reiko stopped teasing him and looked at the Tai Dao next to the saber rack. She asked curiously, "Oh yeah, does this saber have a name? Who's the owner? "
"Ah? Ma-Name??? … …!!!!!!! " The Five Tigers Retreat stared in shock as she held his brother in her hands and touched him from head to toe. When he came back to his senses, he shouted with a red face, "W-What are you doing?!"
Reiko was admiring the gorgeous saber and was shocked by his shout. She pursed her lips and asked, "Do you have to have such a big reaction?"
"D-Don't touch my brother …" The Five Tigers Retreat grabbed the Tai Dao and carefully held it in his arms. The Tai Dao trembled in his arms and he realized what he had said. He looked at Reiko with a pale face.
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't touch your brother's saber. Look at how precious you are … Tsk, hurry up and go to the kitchen to eat!"
After saying that, Reiko went to the kitchen first. The Five Tigers Retreat heard her footsteps disappear and looked at the Tai Dao with a sad face. "I'm sorry for what happened just now, Brother Ichiqi …" Fortunately, the adults didn't find out.
The Tai Dao didn't move. It seemed like its heart was hurt.
A cool breeze blew and there seemed to be a low and hoarse laughter in the air.
…
The next day.
The two of them were eating breakfast when a soft voice called out to them from outside the house.
"Lord Xia Mu, are you there?"
The Five Tigers Retreat was eating quietly. When they heard the voice, the chopsticks in their hands paused and they looked up nervously. Their little face was pale. "Is that Fox's Assistance?!! What should we do? That person must have gone to tell on us! "
"He was the one who bullied you first. Isn't he embarrassed?" Reiko didn't take his worries to heart. She calmly picked up some food for the Five Tigers Retreat and continued eating nonchalantly.
"Lord Xia Mu, I've brought people here …" The soft voice called out again, but to the Five Tigers Retreat, it sounded like a death knell. They thought that Fox's Assistance had really brought people to arrest them. After thinking about it, they seemed to have made up their minds. With a stern face, they said to Reiko, "Remember, later say that I was the one who did it!"
After saying that, they threw down their chopsticks and walked out. Reiko had no choice but to grab him. "Don't panic. It might not be that."
He looked like he couldn't eat properly. Reiko put down her chopsticks, held his hand, and walked out with him. She said slowly, "Even if it's really that, don't worry. I won't let it hurt you."
That sly little fox. She hadn't settled the score with him yet. If he dared to cause trouble, she would beat him to death. There was no point in acting cute!
The Five Tigers Retreat's head turned to look at her. Suddenly, he felt that she looked so reliable under the bright sunlight. He held her slightly rough but warm hands tightly. The fear he felt earlier evaporated in an instant.
The moment Fox's Assistance saw Reiko, he subconsciously retreated with a guilty conscience. However, when he saw the Five Tigers Retreat being intimately held by her, he stopped in his tracks.
He grinned. He knew that this lady could definitely get along well with the Fu Mourning God. But … why hadn't they signed the contract? The other Fu Mourning God didn't seem to have woken up yet.
Reiko glanced at Fox's Assistance. Her gaze fell on a young man with light brown hair behind Fox's Assistance.
The young man looked elegant and delicate. When he saw her looking over, he bowed slightly. "Hello, Lord Xia Mu. I am Wu, an employee sent by Hell."
Reiko recognized him at a glance. She had seen him in Hell before. He was the subordinate standing beside Assistant Officer Ghost Lamp. Reiko didn't know if it was because of his gentle and polite attitude, or because he had the same hair color as her, but she felt that he was very amiable. Her attitude naturally improved as well. She smiled faintly. "Hello, Mr. Wu."
After greeting him, Reiko looked at Fox's Assistance with a cold gaze. "Didn't you say that you would only be here in a week?"
Fox's Assistance saw her unfriendly expression and knew that she was still angry. He squinted his eyes and tried to act cute. "Didn't I hear that you were in trouble? So I immediately rushed over. I happened to meet Hell's employees on the way here, so I came together. "
When they heard Fox's Assistance say that they were in trouble, the Five Tigers Retreat immediately guessed that the God's Inquisitor must have gone to complain. They panicked again. Just as they were about to speak, Reiko pinched their hands.
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned. They instinctively looked up at her and saw her expressionlessly say to Fox's Assistance, "Why didn't I know that I was in trouble?"
Fox's Assistance was stunned. He looked at her suspiciously, wondering if she really didn't know, or if she was pretending not to know. However, he couldn't tell anything from her expressionless face.
Fox's Assistance coughed softly and explained, "It's like this. Yesterday, an Inquisitor for This Pill reported to the Government of the Hour that you were committing a crime on the streets and had the tendency to abuse His Highness the Five Tigers Retreat. Ahaha, that's impossible … Well! " Fox's Assistance accidentally saw the bandage around the Five Tigers Retreat's neck. He choked for a moment and stuttered to finish his sentence.
Everyone present naturally saw the awkward look in his eyes. It was a look that could easily lead people to think the worst. The Five Tigers Retreat instantly exploded.
"No way!"
Reiko didn't stop them. The Five Tigers Retreat had already rushed to the front and shouted loudly, "That person was the one who spoke rudely and hit me! He was the one who caused the wound on my neck. That's why Sir … That's why I hit him! "
"…"
Young man, that last lie of yours didn't require any skill!
However, he didn't have the slightest self-awareness and continued to emphasize in a panic, "I'm telling the truth!"
The scene instantly fell into an awkward silence.
Reiko facepalmed and took two steps forward. She reached out and covered the Five Tigers Retreat's mouth to prevent him from speaking. She looked down at Fox's Assistance condescendingly. "Yes, I did hit him because he deserved it. So? Did the Government of the Hour send you to arrest me? "
No one expected her to admit it without hiding anything. She didn't even bother to explain. In an instant, the two people and the fox were stunned. It was as if the air had frozen.
The Five Tigers Retreat was the first to regain their senses. They struggled in Reiko's arms, but they couldn't break free from her firm imprisonment. Just as their eyes were red with anxiety, Fox's Assistance suddenly spoke.
"Sir, you must be joking. Why would we arrest you? We have to thank you for letting us catch a heinous criminal because of this matter!"
However, when she followed them to a hidden courtyard behind This Pill that she hadn't seen before today, she still subconsciously tensed up and vigilantly observed her surroundings.
Once they reached the courtyard, the tigers became even more anxious. They ran forward quickly, turning their heads from time to time to see if she was keeping up. The howls from their throats seemed to be urging her to hurry up and catch up.
The tigers ran straight into a room on the second floor. In the darkness, only the oil lamp in Reiko's hand emitted a faint light. She paused and hesitated. However, soon, the shrill cries of the little tigers could be heard from the room. Thinking that something had happened, Reiko couldn't care less. She frowned and rushed in.
The oil lamp broke through the darkness in the room. Reiko was stunned as soon as she entered. It wasn't as dangerous as she had imagined. Her gaze fell on the thin figure lying on the ground. The five little cats kept meowing around him. On the wooden floor next to him was the bowl of porridge that they had taken away today. The porridge in the bowl wasn't missing. It was obvious that it hadn't been touched.
"Awoo …" "Awoo …"
The little tigers screamed at the top of their lungs, but their master lying on the ground didn't move. Helpless tears fell from the Yuanyuan's eyes. They looked extremely pitiful.
Reiko hurriedly walked over and hugged the person on the ground. From the back, she could tell that the person on the ground wasn't very old. He was light as a feather. Through his clothes, she could feel the bones in her hand. If it wasn't for the warmth, she would have thought that she was holding a corpse.
Reiko frowned even more. She carefully turned the person over. Under the dim light, the young man's pale face was exposed. His thin and sickly cheeks covered his beautiful eyes. His white hair looked dry and lusterless. He looked like an old man in his twilight years.
Reiko touched his forehead. He didn't have a fever. She carefully checked his body to make sure that there were no wounds. Finally, she saw the equally thin little tigers and the porridge bowl that the little tigers had dragged back. Reiko guessed that the young man must have fainted from hunger.
But there was still food in the kitchen. She didn't know why he was so hungry.
The young man was too thin. He looked like he was in his teens. Reiko wondered what she had been doing when she was ten.
Her parents had died and she had been passed around among relatives. Even so, food and clothing weren't a problem.
