The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 38 An unexpected acquaintance

Shi Yao turned his back and coughed lightly for a while. After he felt a little better, he turned around and faced Wang Wei.

"Girl, I have been weak since I was a child. I am so sorry." He raised his hand and picked up the silk handkerchief. "The blood stains on my body will be hard to clean up after it dries. Please wipe it first."

Wang Wei didn't get the answer he wanted, so he frowned slightly, took the handkerchief from Shi Yao's hand and wiped his cheek.

She wanted to hand it back, but she found that the pure white handkerchief was in a mess. When she was about to throw it away, Shi Yao took it away. He leaned closer and wiped the unclean parts of her neck a few more times.

"Okay, my body is clean now, but these clothes... It's all my fault for not managing my subordinates well. I can now answer your question, young lady. That man is my new shadow guard. He is here to protect me, but he sometimes goes too far."

A blush appeared on his beautiful face. "Actually, I just wanted him to drive the people out of the city, but I never thought... I would make the girl's clothes dirty. I'm so sorry, I'm really a loser. I can't even protect others."

Shi Yao lowered his eyebrows, showing a kind of loneliness that made people feel pity.

Wang Wei didn't know why, but replied mysteriously: "Thank you for your help, sir. If it weren't for you, I would have been in danger just now."

"Really? Girl, do you really think it was me who saved you?" Shi Yao raised his eyes and asked, with a faint light in his pupils.

"Of course, that man rushed towards me just now, and I think he was going to take me hostage. Fortunately, you acted in time." Otherwise, I would have to bear the crime of murder. Although it doesn't matter, the less I am involved in this kind of cause and effect, the better. I hope you will think this in your heart.

"We have been chatting for a long time, but I haven't introduced myself to you formally yet. Yao is really rude. My name is Shi Yao, you can just call me by my name, young lady."

"Master Yao, my name is Mo Wei, Mo means don't worry about the future, and Wei means the world is my home." She used another fake name.

"Mo Wei, what a nice name. Can I just call you Mo Wei?"

"Of course you can. Master Yao's surname is Shi, but is it the famous Shi family of jade?" He hoped that it would not delay what he was going to do.

Shi Yao's face flushed again. "I didn't expect Mo Wei to have heard of my family's name. We are not famous throughout the country. All the jade mines in the Shaoxian Mountain area belong to the Shi family. The Shi family is in Fangqiu and they don't go anywhere else."

The black shadow came back, carrying a person on its shoulders. That person was Su Lie who had escaped.

Wang Wei only then saw the black figure's appearance clearly. His entire body was wrapped in black silk cloth, not even his eyes were exposed. He was also wearing a black outer robe. Even though he was hiding so deeply, he still wore a black gauze hat on his head.

"Shadow, take care of it. Mo Wei and I will leave first." After Shi Yao made the arrangements, Shadow disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Shi Yao took off his cloak and handed it to Wang Wei: "Mo Wei, the bloodstains on your clothes are a bit eye-catching. I'm afraid it will attract too much attention when we get to the main road later."

Wang Wei originally wanted to refuse, but she only needed to cast a little spell and the clothes would look like new again.

But the target person unexpectedly appeared in front of her. Now was a good opportunity for her to get to know him better, and she didn't want to waste it.

"Master Yao, you are so kind to everyone." Wang Wei put on a cloak, which just covered the bloodstains on his collar.

"There is a good saying from the ancients: A family that accumulates good deeds will have good fortune. God has blessed my Shi family, which means that our ancestors accumulated good deeds and virtues, so that our family can prosper until our generation. I also want to do more good deeds and accumulate virtues for my descendants."

Shi Yao sighed, "It's a pity that with my frail body, I don't know how long I can hold on. I really hope that the Shi family won't fall into ruin in my generation."

Wang Wei didn't know how to respond, so he said, "Master Yao will get what he wants."

The two walked out of the secluded path and returned to the busy main road.

"We've arrived at the Shi family's main hall. Mo Wei, come in with me and change your clothes. Then I'll arrange a carriage to take you back...where do you live?"

"Master Yao, please don't bother. I have an appointment and the time is coming. I won't change my clothes. I just want to borrow your cloak."

Shi Yao showed regret on his face: "I wanted to take you to see my garden. Recently, a huge piece of flawless white jade has appeared. The jade craftsmen are busy carving it. It is so beautiful."

When Wang Wei heard this, he felt like regretting it on the spot and should have agreed immediately.

"Brother! Where have you been?" Someone shouted from a distance, and walked towards him quickly. The man was also a young man, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Shi Yao.

"You disappeared just now, and your brother was so worried. Your body... why is it still moving around?" The young man stepped forward and supported Shi Yao.

"Shi Luo, this is a friend I just met, her name is Mo Wei."

Shi Luo looked at Wang Wei for a few seconds and said, "Shi Luo, the only younger brother of my eldest brother." Wang Wei nodded in response.

Shi Yao cordially invited: "Mo Wei, come to my house and have a seat?"

Shi Luo showed a slightly vigilant look, and Wang Wei smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will deliver the cloak to your house."

She turned and left, waving gracefully behind her. Shi Yao smiled and watched her leave.

"Brother, she still refuses to see me and won't even let me step into the house! I really don't know what that bitch is up to!" Shi Luo spat viciously.

Shi Yao coughed a few times and said, "If you don't want to see her, then don't see her. I've only seen her twice since I got married to her."

"Isn't she just feeling guilty? The thing might be hidden in her house. I really don't know what my father was thinking at the beginning. He asked for a marriage, but what was the result? It turned into a den of thieves!" Shi Luo raised his tone and his voice trembled.

"Don't worry, you will have a chance to get it back later. By then, you will be the deputy head of the Shi family. Now you have to show the aura of a deputy head and don't let people look down on you." Shi Yao patted Shi Luo's shoulder, turned around and walked into the main hall.

"Shi Luo remembers his elder brother's teachings."

Wang Wei walked into an empty alley, cleaned the blood off his body with a spell, and walked towards the Diguan Temple where he and Huo Feng had agreed to meet.

At first glance, this temple is majestic and magnificent, but upon closer inspection, it is very down-to-earth.

A prosperous commercial street has been built around the temple, and more people come here to have fun than to pray and make wishes.

To enter this Diguan Temple... you actually have to buy a ticket?

I wanted to go in and take a look at the sculpture of the Emperor of Earth, and compare it with which sculpture the demons had made for themselves was more magnificent.

But never mind the charges.

Although one coupon only costs thirty cents, it also comes with three incense sticks.

But she wasn't going to pay to see the rogue god who sat quietly in his hall and secretly messed around.

Wang Wei weighed the purse that Huo Feng had prepared for her. The silver and money inside were also prepared by him in advance, and he told her roughly how to use it.

The fan I bought is also left in Jianyufang. Looking at the bustling crowds on the street and people lining up to purchase all kinds of fancy items, I hope I will be eager to buy again.

Maybe it was because she was flexible and had unique body movements, or maybe most of the things sold on the street were food, which she didn't need.

In short, she quickly walked through most of the street.

During this period, Wang Wei was still not in a clear mind and played up another meaning of the name.

For example, he knocked a habitual thief unconscious with a candied haws, and "accidentally" broke the leg bone of a fake beggar who was trying to scam people, thus indirectly punishing the scammers and receiving warm applause from passers-by.

Her expression became dazed again, just like yesterday when she dodged and helped the girl catch the flying rock.

——Just as outrageous.

In order to escape from the laughing crowd surrounding him, Wang ran into an empty narrow alley like a flash.

Someone behind him laughed and said, "After that girl did her chivalrous work, she ran away in shame!"

"That's right. I didn't even see her face clearly. She must be beautiful and kind."

Wang Wei's breathing became heavier, and he leaned against the wall as if to relieve himself. Fear instantly poured from his head into his limbs and bones, spreading throughout his body.

Since she came to the mortal world, she has always inadvertently done some strange things.

These actions had nothing to do with what she was going to do in the future, and they were of no help at all. But she just did it as if she was being manipulated by someone, without even asking for anything in return.

A god who has been doing evil since he was born, suddenly starts to help others for unknown reasons.

A shadow emerged in Wang Wei's mind. He must have been affected by this. Also, this stolen heart was always plotting against him behind his back.

These so-called good deeds were not what she wanted to do, but came from her heart. But this heart was not hers, so naturally these wills were also "manipulated" by her heart, and were definitely not her original intention.

She resisted this feeling of being unfree, just like a puppet controlled by that person.

"You've been dead for so many years, why are you still haunting me?" Wang Wei gritted his teeth, "I thought you were willing to give me your heart, but I didn't expect that you would keep your calculations until today. I've really learned my lesson."

Wang Wei calmed down and walked out of the alley. The crowd that had been watching had already dispersed.

She saw Huo Feng waiting for her in an open space next to a fortune-telling stall. She pretended that nothing had happened, walked quietly behind Huo Feng, and patted his shoulder.

Huo Feng was slightly startled and when he turned around, he saw Wang Wei's triumphant smile.

She was holding... a string of candied haws in her hand?

Moreover, there is one missing on the top.

"Here, this is for you." Wang Wei stuffed the candied haws into Huo Feng's hand.

Doesn't she never eat mortal food? Thinking of this, he asked.

"Master, there is one less candied haws in this candied haws. Did you eat it? It turns out that Master has begun to accept the fireworks of the mortal world." It was Huo Feng's turn to reply triumphantly.

"What? One is missing? This is what I bought. I didn't steal any. They are all yours." Wang Wei remembered that she had treated the one she had just knocked away as a hidden weapon. She was going to play dumb and brush it off.

"Master, if you want to eat, just eat. Eat one first." Huo Feng generously put the candied haws to Wang Wei's mouth. Wang Wei took a half step back and said with a little "fear", "I don't want to eat anything. Don't tempt me to break the rules. I bought it for you because I saw that you like sweet food."

Huo Feng's heart moved. How did she know that I like sweets?

Seeing the doubt flashing in Huo Feng's eyes, Wang Wei helped him recall: "Remember in Tianzhou, Chun He took out a bunch of food supplements she invented? There were so many kinds, but you only ate the sugar packets. Although I don't know the taste, I can smell it. From then on, I knew you like sweet things."

Wang Wei's analysis was very clear and logical, but Huo Feng was deeply touched. After all, few people would pay attention to such details at the beginning.

——She takes herself seriously.

"I still remember that last time when we were eating candy buns, you said it was impossible for you to be my apprentice. Now when we are eating candied haws, you have become my apprentice. The situation has really changed rapidly." Wang Wei teased.

Was this the point she wanted to make? She had indeed won the bet.

Facing the winner's enthusiastic gaze, Huo Feng felt that his face was also burned by the atmosphere.

"Yes, yes, I really didn't expect it." Huo Feng said as he subconsciously stuffed a candied haws into his mouth. The original taste of the hawthorn juice was so sour that it made your teeth fall out, but the layer of rock sugar wrapped around it was extremely sweet.

There was a mixture of sweet and sour taste in his mouth, and he couldn't help blinking, pushing the candied haws aside, and his right cheek bulged instantly.

In order to imitate the scene of the two of them confronting each other in the mansion tent, Wang raised his hand and gently pinched Huo Feng's other cheek.

Wow, the two sides are symmetrical.

"Gulu——"

Huo Feng swallowed the fruit that had not been completely bitten into pieces.

There was something a little strange between the two of them, and Huo Feng was the first to notice it. Looking at Wei's eyes again, she seemed to be immersed in the memory of what had happened, and didn't notice anything else.

He really thought too much. Huo Feng wanted to slap himself a few times to wake himself up.

What are you thinking about?

She was thinking—

Even though she has fallen from the altar this time, she still holds her destiny firmly in her own hands.

This... is clearly the look of admiring a trophy.

"Master, I know I have been defeated by you. Will you continue to be like this - until when?" Huo Feng interrupted the atmosphere with a voice, looking like someone waking up from a dream.

She did not feel embarrassed, but patted Huo Feng's left cheek with a smile.

"You have to listen to me from now on. I always win."

"Okay." Huo Feng took her slightly cold fingers and said, "Master, I haven't had time to ask, where did this cloak come from?"

"Go back and talk."

In order to avoid running into the group of mortals who had just applauded on the street, she suggested going back to the inn to sort out the clues obtained today in detail, and Huo Feng agreed.

When they arrived at the inn, before Wang Wei could ask, Huo Feng told him what he had gained that day.

"Today I went to the only teahouse in the area. I heard that there was a storyteller living here, so I went to listen to him talk about some interesting things in Fangqiu. However, most of the stories he told were passed down from various sects and may not be the most true."

"What is a storyteller?" Wang Wei asked curiously.

Huo Feng was stunned at first, then remembered that this was his master's first time descending to the mortal world, so he explained some non-heavenly terms in more detail.

"Storytellers are people who tell stories. They collect strange anecdotes from the streets and alleys, and tell them to people in places where people gather, such as teahouses and temple fairs. They can make any story fascinating, and although it is half true and half false, it makes people believe it. However," Huo Feng changed the subject, "the background of the two major jade families is set in stone and known to everyone."

"The Shi family and the Rong family?"

"Yes, I think our scope has been narrowed again. If the artifact is really related to , then it must be related to these two families." Huo Feng affirmed.

"Then tell me in detail."
