Chapter 8 Escape and Ascension(1/2)

Chev was once the gold-fingered subordinate of the Thorotun Thieves Union.

But he is not very clean in his work. He was cut off his left and right thumb by the thief union three years ago. For a golden finger, this was equivalent to breaking his way of life.

As a former golden finger, he can't do anything except stealing, and no one would hire him a small, short and ugly man.

But no one expected that Chev did not starve to death because of this, and he survived.

Always living in the shadow of this city, living like a ground mouse, all of this is attributed to the ghost house. When everyone was afraid and dared not enter the ghost house again by rogue, and no one dared to buy the ghost house, Chev accidentally broke in.

And a considerable amount of treasure was dug out from the ground of the ghost house.

This may be left by this ghost house unknown owner. After Chev got this wealth, he did not leave Soloton, but lurked during the day and at night like a shadow. He knew very well that if the people from the thief union found that they were rich and lived a very comfortable life, they would definitely be killed.

No one knew better than him the bad psychology of the thieves and the unpredictable assassination methods.

Since his thumb was cut off, Chev knew that he should be low-key. He only used pitifully little money to deal with life every day. For him, black bread and water were enough, but he didn't expect that the night before yesterday he was penniless and was about to go to the ghost house to get some money.

In a dark cellar, a candle was burning, emitting a dim light.

The woman covered in blood on the bed.

When she dragged her back, Chev didn't pay attention to her appearance. Now he calmed down and found that this woman was so beautiful. Oh my god, Chev had never seen such a woman. She looked a hundred times more beautiful than the noble girls that Chev had once hiding from afar.

Such a woman is something that a man like Chev cannot reach in his dream.

But now, the woman was lying there motionlessly, her towering breasts slumped together, and her wet clothes pressed against her perfect curved body. Her face was bloodless but still extremely moving.

Chev's breathing gradually became rapid, desire appeared on his ugly face, and his claw-like hands gently fell on the woman's face.

Her skin is really smooth.

Chev's hand moved down little by little, gradually reaching the woman's neck.

It was getting closer and closer to the towering holy land. This was a goddess. Chev was almost unable to breathe, and a heart in his dry chest was beating.

"Yang Zheng, forgive me..."

The sudden sound was so scared that Chev quickly retracted his hand. When he looked over, the woman was crying.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I... I..." Chefu said helplessly. He was not a good person. How could a golden finger be a good person? But Chefu saw this beautiful woman who could only be seen in his dreams before crying in front of him, but Chefu felt that his heart was broken.

"Yang Zheng... forgive me... it's really not my fault... I don't know... I really don't know... it will be like this..." The woman was still crying, crying, her whole body curled up, she was muttering, she didn't wake up.

Chev felt relieved, but the woman's intermittent murmur made him angry with Yang Zheng's man.

Which man is it that makes the woman almost die and is still chanting his name and begging for his forgiveness.

That man is too cruel. What can you forgive such a beautiful woman?

If there is such a woman who is willing to cry for herself, she will be willing to die...

Chev was thinking a lot.

Suddenly, he felt a chill that penetrated his bone marrow.

It was a dagger that fell silently on his neck. Chefu's whole body stiffened. The woman had woken up, with a pair of glass-like eyes like cold wind. Chefu had never seen such a terrifying eye, which made his mind blank in an instant.

Mo Bingyun shouted weak but murderously: "Who are you?"

If she hadn't found out that her body had been insulted, this ugly little man would have been killed by her.

Although Mo Bingyun was so weak that she was about to die, her own strength as a level 8 great swordsman could scare ordinary people to death even if she was bluffing.

"I...I...I...is Chev." Chev said stutteringly.

"How could I be here?"

"It's...I'll save you from the haunted house... Oh, no, I'm pulled you back." Faced with this terrible woman, Chev didn't dare to regard himself as a "life-saving benefactor".

Mo Bingyun first condensed, and then she felt a fishy and sweet smell rushing upwards.

After pressing down the mouth of blood, she knew she could not hold on anymore, so she forced herself to shout, "Tie yourself with a rope."

Chev was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that the dagger on his neck had cut his skin.

"Why not hurry up!"

"Oh, oh." Chev did not dare to disobey, so he picked up a rope in the corner of the wall and tied up his feet and hands. Mo Bingyun forced himself to get out of bed. After checking his rope, he suddenly knocked him hard on the back of his head, causing him to faint. After doing all this, Mo Bingyun could no longer hold on, and spit out blood and fell to the ground with his head.

It was already dawn in the drizzle.

In a remote and dark teahouse, two people with no presence sat in the corner.

Because of the window on the back and the sky is dark, no one will notice them. The strong one among the two men, the hair is gray and wrinkled on their faces. They look fifty or sixty years old, while the other one is slender and elegant, with an ear-covered hat on his head, but his face is full of pockmarks, which makes people unbearable to see.

Mazi looked at the old man with anger and helpless look, and his lowered voice was sharp and thin: "Do you have to make us like this? It's really unbearable."

The old man glanced at Mazi, a smile appeared in his eyes, but his voice was pretending to be serious: "There is no way, you are too beautiful."

"But there is no need to make it like this." Mazi took a sip of water depressedly, and then quickly spit it out: "What kind of water is this? It's really hard to drink."

The old man laughed strangely.

Then he said, "If you want to change back to your original state as soon as possible, just find that woman as soon as possible and leave here."

Mazi sighed: "Why do you think she is still here? Isn't there any news in Cangyue Kingdom that she has returned to China long ago? She should have escaped from the city long ago."

The old man looked at the rain outside and shook his head: "You don't understand, there is news from Cangyue Kingdom. Instead, I doubt its authenticity. In order to cover up people's eyes, it is a common trick to make Wei Rong Kingdom give up vigilance. Moreover, there have been abnormal movements on the border recently. Humph, sending troops in such weather is not a normal move that only normal people can do."

"Maybe you're right, but Soloton is so big, it's not easy to find someone who deliberately hides it."

A little light flashed suddenly in the old man and sneered: "Is there anyone more suitable to find someone than the Thieves Guild? Those thieves are even smarter than the mice in the sewer. I'll go find them tonight."

Chev has found that the thief union people are far more diligent and weird than usual. On several occasions, he met their people while walking outside in the middle of the night.

Chev was careful to dodge them. If they saw them, they would be beaten.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, why did the thief union dare to act vigorously during the martial law period in the whole city without avoiding the limelight?

On this day, he had just bought cheese and some medicines and secretly wanted to sneak back to his cellar.

As you rush around the corner and walk forward along the dark alley.

Suddenly a black shadow stopped him.

Chev was shocked. After seeing the man clearly, he hurriedly ran backwards, but a person flashed out at the other end of the alley, blocking his retreat.

The man in front of him smiled sinisterly: "Chefu, life is very comfortable, and he still has money to buy cheese."

"Brother Faying," Chev knew that he could not escape, so he quickly smiled: "I happened to pick up a wallet two days ago. It was my fault. I deserve to die. If I don't respect Brother Faying, I will respect the two elder brothers by these cheeses. How about it?"

Brother Faying, who was as tall as a bamboo pole, walked up with a smile. He did not look at the pile of cheese, but stared at the white bag that Chev had no time to hide: "So what is in that bag? Dear Chev, open it and let me see."

Chev's expression tightened, but he lowered his head to cover it up. He said with a smile: "It's just some rough flour. Brother French and Ying, this thing is too stuffy and difficult to digest. Of course, the rough things are left for himself. Brother French and Ying should eat cheese."

Brother Francisco got closer and closer, and although his face was smiling, his eyes were cold: "Chefu, I have eaten too much cheese recently and am trying to eat some coarse grains."

Chev's hands were already trembling with difficulty. He knew what the consequences would be if the medicine he bought was discovered. These expensive medicines were not affordable to people like him. Thinking of the angelic woman, he made a fuss in his heart and smiled and handed the white pockets and cheese forward: "Okay, since Brother France and Ying like it, I'll give it to you."

"Chef is really more obedient than a dog." Brother Faying smiled proudly, then reached out and grabbed it.

Just as he was about to touch his pocket, Chev suddenly exerted force and hit Brother Faying, hitting him with a slut. Chev ran forward desperately.

Brother Faying got up from the ground in shock and angrily. He didn't expect that Chev, a bastard, would dare to resist.

"Chasing me, if you catch up, I will peel him off." Brother Faying roared at his other subordinate, and the two chased forward.

Chev rushed into the cellar, gasping for breath.

Mo Bingyun sat up from the bed. Her face looked better than before. She also changed into clean clothes on her body, but the loneliness in her eyes remained unchanged. Seeing Chev's nervous look, she frowned slightly: "How can I pull it?"

She has been relying on the help of this little man in the past few days and her body gradually recovered. Although she is ugly, she knows that he saved her and is very respectful and polite to her these days, Mo Bingyun is still grateful.

"Quick...we're leaving here." Chev exclaimed.

"What the hell happened?"

Chev eagerly told what had just happened.

After hearing this, Mo Bingyun's expression did not change. In fact, her heart was ashamed. So what if she died here, she shook her head: "You run away, you have a small target, I'm different. Even if I leave here, I can't live without Thorodun."

Chefu is a ground mouse, how could he not know what he heard in the streets? Although Mo Bingyun had never mentioned his identity, Chefu knew very well that the person in front of him was the princess of Cangyue Kingdom. If he reported her, he would definitely be able to reach the sky in one step.

However, whenever he saw the lonely and sad figure, he could not do that at all. He scolded himself for being foolish and lustful countless times, but after scolding him, he still couldn't do it. He thought that if Wei Rongguo caught her, his heart would hurt like tearing her.

Thinking of this, he shouted: "If you don't leave, I won't leave."

Mo Bingyun was shocked all over and looked up at him. Chev's face, which looked like a tree bark, seemed to be glowing at this moment.

No matter how stupid Mo Bingyun was, he could not have noticed Chev's friendship at all. She sighed softly: "Chev, why are you doing this..."

"It is my honor to die for the princess."

Mo Bingyun's tears flowed down her eyes. She was moved and sad. She said to herself: "Why are you always like this? If that person is half good to me, even if it is a moth to the fire, so what... so what..."

Suddenly, noisy footsteps came from outside.

Chev's face turned pale. Although he had the courage just now, he could not suppress his fear when he really had to face death.

Mo Bingyun looked as usual, took out the dagger and grabbed it tightly in his hand.

"Chev, you can't escape now. Don't you regret it?"

Chev forced himself to shake his head.

Mo Bingyun touched the smooth surface of the dagger and whispered: "Come here."

Chev came to him, and Mo Bingyun looked at him and said softly: "The current situation, if we are caught, we may be worse than death. If you want, I will let you die without feeling the pain, and then I will commit suicide."

Chev was shocked, but he knew that Mo Bingyun did not lie. If he was caught by the thief union, Brother Faying would definitely give him the most severe criminal law, and the woman... can be imagined how miserable it would be.
