My lord, I will be brought to justice!

Chapter 36: The Shadow of the Scorpion in the Basin

Lying on the bed, Chu Tiankuo tossed and turned, unable to sleep, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mu Aichen's bare skin on his chest, his skin white as snow might be what he described.Chu Tiankuo murmured in his heart, "I feel quite fair, why is he whiter than me? Is this the skin tone that a man should have?" Unwilling, he raised Mu Aichen's arm to compare with himself.Mu Aichen let him play around without saying a word.

There is still an obvious difference in the skin color of the two, Chu Tiankuo can only be called normal skin color, and Mu Aichen is called white.He looked at Mu Aichen and suddenly felt a little nervous, "You are so white, do you have kidney deficiency?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Aichen opened his eyes and turned to face Chu Tiankuo.He sized up the person in front of him, staring closely at Chu Tiankuo's eyes, which moved slightly and approached quickly.Chu Tiankuo was at a loss for a moment.Mu Aichen said slowly: "Do you want to try it?"

Chu Tiankuo: "..." I was at a loss for words for a moment.He pulled up the corner of the quilt, and lay obediently.

His plan succeeded, a meaningful smile curled up on the corner of Mu Aichen's mouth.Turn around and lie down, close your eyes and prepare to sleep.

The room was surprisingly quiet.

Chu Tiankuo was playing with the quilt with both hands, but he still couldn't sleep with his eyes open.He turned his head slightly, looked at Mu Aichen who was lying beside him, and secretly said: "Sleeping with a mask on".Seeing him with his eyes closed, a sly look suddenly flashed across his eyes.He got up slowly, with slow movements, and gradually approached Mu Aichen.Stretching a hand towards the mask, he was very curious about the appearance of this Daha brother.Before his fingers touched the mask, Mu Aichen suddenly opened his eyes, and when he rolled his eyes, he saw Chu Tiankuo's hands touching the mask.

"Crack——" Chu Tiankuo sat up and double-tapped his palms, "See if I don't kill you, stinky mosquito." He looked at Mu Aichen as he spoke, and smiled awkwardly, "Slap the mosquito! Did it wake you up? Sorry! You continue to sleep."

"You want to see what I look like?" Mu Aichen slightly turned his head to look at Chu Tiankuo who was swatting mosquitoes.

Although he knew that his purpose had been exposed, Chu Tiankuo refused to admit it. "Haha! How come, I swatted the mosquitoes!" After swatting for a long time, not to mention that the mosquitoes didn't even have a fly, and the mosquitoes didn't cooperate.Chu Tiankuo put down his hands and drooped his shoulders, "I...I'm just curious about what you look like?"

Mu Aichen sat up, put his face close to Chu Tiankuo's ear, breathed hot air, and said in a soft tone: "If I put on a mask, there is only one person who can take it off——that is my wife." After finishing speaking, he He turned his head and looked at Chu Tiankuo, "Do you want to take it off?"

What happened tonight?Why is the atmosphere so weird?Chu Tiankuo felt his heart beating faster, but he didn't answer, he covered his head under the quilt and couldn't get out. "Why do I have the illusion of being teased, it must be an illusion."

Seeing his expression, Mu Aichen lay down satisfied.Close your eyes and go back to sleep.

"This can't be Mu Aichen, Xiao Mumu is so seductive." Chu Tiankuo hid under the blanket, only his eyes were shining.My heart was still pounding, and I couldn't calm down no matter what.It wasn't until he was suffocated that he lacked oxygen that he lifted the quilt and poked his head out.

The person beside him had fallen into a deep sleep, and Chu Tiankuo touched his arm with his finger——no movement.He shook his arm more vigorously -- still nothing.

Chu Tiankuo thought that he really fell asleep this time, raised his eyebrows, and immediately became proud.He still didn't give up, and wanted to see what the face under the mask looked like. "Anyway, he doesn't know that I picked it when he was sleeping," Chu Tiankuo thought.

But with the wrong demonstration last time, he didn't dare to act rashly.Chu Tiankuo got up, touched the mask with his hand, closed his eyes with a swish and lay down.After a while, open one eye to check the situation.Seeing that Mu Aichen was still sleeping soundly, he opened both eyes.

Chu Tiankuo moved his body and slowly approached Mu Aichen.He stopped within a short distance from him, and approached Mu Aichen's mask lightly.One hand reached under his neck to untie the rope tied at the back, and the other hand slowly removed the mask.He held his breath and stared at the gradually revealed face under the mask.

"Who is this extremely handsome face if it's not Mu Aichen?" Chu Tiankuo couldn't help reaching out to caress his eyebrows, brushing his tall nose bridge and sexy lips.Looking at the face that hadn't been thinned for more than a month, he felt a pang in his heart, "How did you lose so much weight?" After a long time, he put the mask back on Mu Aichen, lay down, and stayed up all night.

In the early morning, Chu Tiankuo was awakened by a knock on the door.Liu Xiwu's voice came, "Master Daha, Mr. Chu has woken up and had breakfast." It was early in the morning that Chu Tiankuo felt a little sleepy.Not long after falling asleep, it was time for breakfast.On the other hand, Mu Aichen next to him slept soundly all night, and the knock on the door didn't wake him up.

"Hey! Xiaomu... that's not right. Brother Daha wake up, it's time to eat. Brother Daha." Chu Tiankuo shook him before opening his eyes.

Mu Aichen covered his head, his eyebrows furrowed.Feeling like a severe headache.It took a while before he asked, "Ah Kuo, what time is it?" After he paused, he quickly changed his words: "Chu...Master Chu, I...do I call you kindly?"

"Ah! It's all right." Chu Tiankuo replied in a dazed manner, pretending not to know his identity. "It should be Chen Shi."

"It's almost time, why did you sleep for so long." Mu Aichen still rubbed his head, as if he drank too much wine yesterday, but he didn't drink even a drop.

"Young Master Daha, Young Master Chu..." There was another knock on the door.The two got up and got out of bed, opened the door and saw Liu Xiwu at the door. "Master Daha, I...that one has breakfast."

"Okay, thank you Miss Liu. I'll go there right away." Mu Aichen nodded at her and said.

The next door also opened one after another. Everyone covered their heads with messy hair, as if they had just woken up.

"Why does my head hurt so much!" Bei Chen rubbed his head and gritted his teeth.Bei Chen couldn't help being like this, and so was Nan Zhuye who came out from behind.

The place where everyone lives temporarily is on the first floor, with the lobby as the warning line dividing the east and west sides.There are four rooms on the east side where Liu Xiyan, Beichen and Nanzhuye, Qingfeng Qingyang, Mu Aichen and Chu Tiankuo live respectively in sequence.On the west side lived Gu Lan, Bi Chenghu, Xie Zishu, Wu Yougong and Zhan Chujing.Several rooms are like a long and large passage, stretching straight out.

"Brother Kuo, my headache hurts." Qing Yang pouted and looked pitiful, Qing Feng was not much better, she covered her head and did not speak.

What's the matter everyone?Why collective headaches?And I'm fine?The successive questions made Chu Tiankuo very puzzled.

"Miss Liu, is your head okay?" Chu Tiankuo looked at Liu Xiyan's innocent face and asked.

"Ah! My... My head hurts when I wake up in the morning, but it's gone now." While speaking, Liu Xiwu touched her head with her hand. "Let's go see if Sister Gulan has woken up?"

"Yeah!" Chu Tiankuo nodded, and they tidied up their appearance a little and came to the room on the west side.

Gu Lan happened to be watching the door with her head covered. It seemed that her head was in pain.

There was no movement in the other two rooms, Chu Tiankuo stepped forward and knocked on Wu Yougong's room, "Brother Wu, it's time to eat..." After a while, the door opened, and Wu Yougong and Zhan Chujing came out. They both expressed headaches.

Bei Chen knocked on the door of Xie Zishu and Bi Chenghu's room, "Wake up, get up and eat." There was no movement, "Bang bang, get up and eat." Bei Chen increased his voice and strength, but there was still no movement.

At this moment, Nan Zhuye knocked on the door together with him, "Bang bang bang—get up, bang bang——Master Xie, Mr. Bi get up." There was still no movement.

It seems like something is not quite right.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Wu Yougong and asked, "Do you still have the key to this room?"

"No, only one is in the hands of Fifth Brother and the others."

Nan Zhuye put his ear close to the door, and vaguely heard rustling traces like small animals crawling.His face turned away from the door and said, "Break it open!"

What happened again?A tense atmosphere spread around.

"I'll come..." Bei Chen concentrated his palms together, and slapped the door heavily. "Ah—" A scream sounded, and Bei Chen covered his hands in pain, pacing back and forth.The door didn't open, but he was injured first.

Chu Tiankuo suppressed a smile to himself, he thought, "Mu Aichen is here, this must be Beichen. Let him always fight against me, this time he will suffer!"

"Are you alright?" Mu Aichen asked forward.Beichen was in so much pain that he wanted to cry but had no tears. Should he say something happened or nothing happened!

Nan Zhuye took out his saber and wanted to try again.He closed his eyes tightly, and he was lucky, but suddenly he frowned, and he felt that the internal force in his body was rapidly disappearing... What's going on?

"My internal energy has disappeared," Nan Zhuye said as he opened his eyes.

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked.Mu Aichen tested his strength and found that there was not much power left in his body.The same is true for Beichen and Gu Lan.

"Why am I alright?" Chu Tiankuo asked.

"Phantom Soul Powder is only effective for people with internal strength. People like you who have no internal strength will naturally not be poisoned." Nan Zhuye thought for a while and said. "Colorless and odorless, the poisoned person can't detect it at all. Only when the internal force disappears and waits to find out, it can only be the phantom soul."

The words Huan Hun San surged up in Mu Aichen's mind like a giant wave.The red figure appeared in his mind, it was the red figure he often dreamed about.Mu Aichen clutched his head in pain, squatting on the ground, as if about to explode.

"Brother Daha" Chu Tiankuo stepped forward and hugged Mu Aichen who was in great pain, stroking his head and hugging him in his arms.

"Master Daha..." Seeing his painful appearance, Liu Xiwu wanted to step forward to comfort him.But he was hugged by Chu Tiankuo, and he had no place to intervene, so he had to give up temporarily.

That memory can be found at your fingertips, but you can't see it but can't touch it.After he dissipated, Mu Aichen gradually recovered. "I'm fine, let's go see how Mr. Xie is doing first?"

After listening, Beichen and Nan Zhuye slammed into the door.After several impacts back and forth, the door was opened with a "clang".When everyone entered the room, they were dumbfounded.

The fat man lay motionless on the bed, his body took up the entire bed, but Xie Zishu who was supposed to be on the bed was nowhere to be seen.In the middle of the room there was a large wooden basin, about one foot in diameter and six feet in height, dyed with red lacquer, and the pattern on it was somewhat blurred.

Chu Tiankuo and Mu Aichen approached, the large basin was covered with a wooden lid, and a transparent crystal was inlaid in the center of the wooden lid.Looking under the transparent crystal, Chu Tiankuo staggered and nearly fell to the ground, but fortunately Mu Aichen supported him behind him.

The big basin was densely covered with poisonous scorpions, with sharp poisonous hooks sticking out.And there was a person curled up inside, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Xie Zishu who had disappeared.Countless poisonous scorpions were crawling on his body, and there were marks of stings on his face. Although it was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead, he was close to death, and the chance of survival was extremely low.

"Ban" Nan Zhuye's voice came from behind. "Look at the patterns on the basin. The poisonous scorpions and snakes on it are exactly the instruments of torture."

Chu Tiankuo asked Qingfeng and Qingyang to go back to his room. It is better for children not to watch this kind of scene.Although Qing Yang was very curious, he returned to the room under the persuasion of Chu Tiankuo and his brother.

"Don't worry, I will be optimistic about Qing Yang." Qing Feng said to Chu Tiankuo.

Wu Yougong and Zhan Chujing, who were at the door, looked at the pot and did not dare to take a step in the door. Their pupils dilated, their faces were pale, and they collapsed directly at the door. "How did it appear here?" Bei Chen thought the two were overly sad, and stepped forward to help them.The two of them were in a trance, and they were pulled up by him abruptly.

Seeing the terrified expressions of the two, the corner of the mouth of the person behind him twitched into a sinister smile. "The good show is yet to come!"

Chu Tiankuo walked up to the bed and sniffed Bi Chenghu's breath.When she found that he was just asleep, she pulled him up violently and shook him from side to side.Bi Chenghu woke up after being shaken vigorously.

"Why are you all here?" He covered his head and squinted his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Chu Tiankuo questioned, "Did Xie Zishu be with you last night?"

"Yes." After Bi Chenghu finished speaking, Xie Zishu was nowhere to be seen. "Where is Second Brother?"

Chu Tiankuo pointed to the scorpion basin placed in the middle, "There!" People in the mansion were killed one after another, and the gate was surrounded by snakes, so who else could the murderer be? ——It can only be someone present.
