The sunset is approaching the west mountain, and the sky to the west is red, and the sunset makes the shadow of the small kitchen very long.

"Mr. Li, I'm here."

A girl dressed in a fourteen-year-old maid jumped into the kitchen, looking obviously in a good mood.

"It's Miss Xing'er. It's not done yet. It's still a while before it can be done."

The man who was cooking turned around and responded, and continued to pound the fried spoon in his hand.

"Um."

The maid with a bun face nodded slightly, then pulled over a chair and sat down, put her elbows on her knees, supported her chin with both hands, and looked at Li Miao with her big shiny eyes.

"Take it to your lady."

A quarter of an hour later, a bowl of hot bacon and egg fried rice appeared on the dining table. This bowl of bacon and egg fried rice was a little richer than before, with two poached eggs and a few stir-fried vegetables.

"Okay, Mr. Li."

The maid with a bun face showed a sweet smile. When she looked at the bowl of luxurious version of bacon and egg fried rice, her mouth subconsciously sniffed and swallowed her saliva.

Seeing this, Li Miao couldn't help but feel funny and said, "Okay, don't be greedy, there is still something in the pot. After delivering it to your lady, come and eat it with me."

"Hehe...thank you, my son."

The maid with a bun face suddenly showed an extremely bright smile, then picked up the bowl of bacon and fried rice on the dining table and walked out of the kitchen happily. After a while, she returned again.

...

“It’s soaring.”

The bun-faced maid was obviously overeating and sat on the stool with some discomfort.

Looking at her, Li Miao suddenly remembered something and asked curiously at the bun-faced maid: "By the way, Miss Xing'er, do you know what happened this afternoon? At around the beginning of the Youth hour, I heard a loud noise coming from the nearby Xiu Lane."

Xiu Lane is an alley near Zhe Mansion. It is closer to Li Miao's small courtyard, and there is only a wall between them.

When he came back from the account room today, Li Miao suddenly heard a sound from Xiu Lane, as if he was trying to catch someone. Driven by curiosity, he wanted to lean over and take a look, but there was no good way to face the high wall of the Zhe Mansion.

He didn't have the ability to jump as high as the one, and then lay on the wall and stretched his head out.

When he heard about this incident, the maid with a bun face looked serious and said, "Mr. Li, I heard that a very powerful thief ran to the neighborhood. The officers and soldiers were chasing the thief."

Li Miao asked again: "Will that thief be caught in the end?"

The maid with a bun face shook her head and said, "I didn't catch it. The thief's martial arts are very powerful. Under the surrounded by the officers and soldiers, he could kill a soldier with every sword. In the end, he jumped up from the ground calmly and stepped on the shoulders of an officer and soldier. With the help of the officer and soldier's shoulders, he disappeared in front of the officer and soldier in the blink of an eye."

Li Miao: “…”

Are you sure there is such a powerful person?

I don’t know where this maid asked about this news, it sounds like she is talking about books, and it doesn’t look real no matter how you hear it…

Seeing Li Miao's expression at this time, the maid with a bun-faced face mistakenly thought that Li Miao was jealous of the thief who killed people without blinking. After all, scholars are relatively brave, at least in the little maid's worldview.

Then he comforted, "Young Master Li, you don't have to worry or be afraid. That thief will definitely not dare to come to offend Zhe Mansion, and it will be even more unlikely to hurt you."

Why am I worried and scared?

Li Miao didn't understand why, and after hearing the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because this is Zhe Mansion."

The maid with a bun face blinked her big eyes, looking as if she was taken for granted.

Li Miao: "..."

After packing up the dishes, it was completely dark.

After watching the dumpling maid leave, Li Miao returned to his room. Just as the oil lamp was lit to study the books of sages, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

In an instant, the hairs stood up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a cold sound.

"Don't move! If you move again, you will cut your neck."

Li Miao didn't dare to move at all, and she was flowing down with cold sweat, feeling so nervous.

He was just an ordinary engineering man from the 21st century, and he had never encountered such a thing.

What the little maid said is indeed impossible to believe. She also said that no thief dared to offend Zhe Mansion, and it would be even more impossible to hurt him. So what is the one standing behind him now?

He secretly swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "This female hero, you have something to say. No matter what your request is, I promise to be satisfied with you as much as possible. No, it will definitely satisfy you."

From the cold voice just now, I could hear the person behind me was a woman.

"Look up the oil lamp first." The woman behind her ordered.

So Li Miao lit up the oil lamp and the dark room suddenly became brighter.

"Slowly turn around."

The woman behind her commanded again: "Don't do any extra moves, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."

Li Miao slowly turned around as what the woman said, and finally saw clearly the woman's appearance.

He was about twenty years old, wearing a black nightclub, covered in blood, and tall, only a little shorter than him. His delicate and cold face revealed unhealthy whiteness. He held a long sword in his right hand and was looking at him coldly.

The heroine said coldly: "Open your mouth."

"for......"

As soon as Li Miao opened his mouth, he felt something slippery slip into his mouth, and then went down his throat to his stomach, so that he had no chance to react.

"Ahem..."

Li Miao's face changed drastically and he said hurriedly: "What did you eat for me?"

The heroine took back the long sword that was placed on Li Miao's neck and said lightly: "The Heart-Devouring Spiritual Soul Pill, if you don't get the antidote in a month, your mind will be confused, your heart will be gnawed by countless insects, and you will eventually die due to severe pain in your heart."

Upon hearing this, Li Miao's face looked ugly and cruel.

Seeing this, the heroine said again: "Don't worry, I have no malice to you. As long as you listen to me well during this period, I will give you the antidote."

I forced myself to feed my heart-devouring soul pill, and I still said that there is no malice?

Li Miao's expression did not mean a little slow, and he watched the woman put the long sword in her hand on the table.

Li Miao couldn't help but feel evil at the edge of his courage.

Obviously, she is in a state of injury now, and with no weapons in her hand, is there a high chance that she can capture the woman in front of her by surprise? Once she captures her, she can turn passive into activeness!

The more you think about it, the greater the intention in your heart.
