By the time the two of them returned to the This Pill, the bruises on Five Tigers Retreat's neck became more obvious as time passed. The bruises on his white and tender neck looked very scary. Reiko hurriedly dragged Five Tigers Retreat, who kept resisting, to the "pharmacy" to apply the medicine. During this time, Reiko kept feeling waves of cold air surrounding her, and she thought she had caught a cold.
Perhaps they were worried that the God's Inquisitor would complain to the Government of the Hour, but Five Tigers Retreat was distracted during this time and didn't notice this. It was only after the medicine was applied that he realized there was a bandage around his neck, making 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.
Five Tigers Retreat's obvious look of disdain made Reiko rub his head again. In the end, he opened it again, but this time, he didn't use as much force as before. Five Tigers Retreat then fled as Reiko raised her eyebrows and smiled.
In the afternoon, Reiko didn't allow him to do anything else. Instead, she was busy because the groceries she bought had arrived.
Five Tigers Retreat sat under the eaves of the corridor with the baby tiger in his arms, watching her walk around busily. In a daze, he felt that this kind of life wasn't bad … If, if My Lord didn't 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, Five Tigers Retreat walked to the knife rack in the room with the baby tiger in his arms. He touched the gorgeous red and gold scabbard of the Tai Dao and murmured, "Brother Ichiqi, what should I do?"
He was just talking to himself, but in the next moment, a familiar wave of power came from the Tai Dao in his hand … That kind of warm, reliable, and strong power.
Five Tigers Retreat didn't expect to receive a response at all. His eyes widened in surprise as he 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 his entire blade exuded a murderous aura. The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned for a moment, but their innate tacit understanding allowed them to react immediately. They immediately grabbed Yiqi Yizhen's scabbard and shook their heads anxiously. "Brother Yiqi, don't misunderstand. It wasn't the Lord who hurt me!"
After recounting the events that happened in the House of Ten Thousand, the Five Tigers Retreat felt that the room was getting colder and colder. Shivering, they said, "That's what happened. If my lord hadn't saved me, I might have been strangled to death by that inquisitor …"
"My lord even beat that fellow up for me. Although she always threatens me with the little tigers, she actually takes good care of me. That's why I don't know how to face her …"
Seeing his troubled and troubled expression, Tai Dao paused and touched his cheek again, as if to comfort him.
"Little Retreat, come and 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?"
The tachi paused for a moment, circled around him, and then returned to stand motionless beside the knife rack.
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 broke into a smile.
"Little Retreat, hurry up!"
"Coming!" Hearing the approaching footsteps, the Five Tigers Retreat quickly responded and whispered to Tai Dao, "Brother Yiqi, I know what you mean. I won't tell my lord. 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 little tigers 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 to take a look and immediately noticed that the Tai Dao next to the knife 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 knife rack. She asked curiously, "Oh yeah, does this knife have a name? Who's the owner? "
"Ah? Ma-Name??? … …!!!!!!! " The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned as he watched her take his brother in her hands and touch 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 knife and was shocked by his shout. She pursed her lips and said, "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 knife. 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 it was me 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, you don't have to 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 leader 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 just now evaporated in an instant.
The moment Fox's Assistance saw Reiko, he instinctively 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. However … why hadn't they signed the contract yet? The other Fu Mourning God didn't seem to have woken up yet.
Reiko glanced at Fox's Assistance. Her gaze fell on the 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. Lingzi didn't know whether 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. Of course, her attitude was correspondingly better. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said, "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, so I came together. "
When the Five Tigers Retreat heard Fox's Assistance say that they were in trouble, they 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, a God's 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 and stuttered to finish his sentence.
Everyone present naturally saw his awkward gaze. It was a gaze that could easily lead people to think the worst. The Five Tigers Retreat instantly exploded.
"No way!"
Before Reiko could 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 first! The wound on my neck was caused by him. That's why Sir … That's why I hit him! "
"…"
Young man, that last lie of yours didn't require any skill at all!
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, took two steps forward, and reached out her hand to cover the Five Tigers Retreat's mouth, preventing 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.
