Zhou Lianqing shook her head and slowly stood up from the bed. The snow-white silk quilt slipped from her chest, revealing a whiter spring color.
Downward, covered by nightgown.
What happened last night?
She slowly recalled that she came to Taolin in a trance and met a guy covered in worms.
At the critical moment, he was rescued by Mr. Xu...
But the voodoo was poisonous and bit me.
She looked at her calves in confusion. Her calves were as white as ivory, long, white and tender, without any scars.
strangeness.
Suddenly, her pretty face turned pink.
My mind was disturbed by the poison, and I made a move that I would not normally do. It seemed that I hugged Mr. Xu when I was in a daze.
When she thought of this, Zhou Lianqing's heart was in confusion, and she lay on the bed again, carefully recalling last night.
She is not a girl waiting to be married. As a mature woman, if something happens, she will not cry to heaven and earth.
On the contrary, there will be some joy.
Due to her status as an elder and her reserve as a woman, no matter how strong the love in her heart is, she will not do anything.
But now, even if she does something, she can completely blame it on poisoning, and then she will naturally change from Mrs. Zhou to Mrs. Xu.
but……
Looking at her intact nightgown, she couldn't believe it and began to doubt her own charm.
Is he really a man?
Nothing was done!
"Someone is coming!"
The maid Xiaoyu, who had been waiting outside the door early, came in after hearing the sound and waited beside the bed: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Do you want to get up and wash up?"
Zhou Lianqing sat up and asked, "Where is Mr. Xu?"
Xiaoyu replied: "I went out early in the morning."
"Oh..." Zhou Lianqing responded and said thoughtfully: "He...did he say where he was going and when he would be back?"
Maid Xiaoyu shook her head: "Mr. Xu asked me to reply to you, Madam, saying that I went to sea and won't be back soon."
Zhou Lianqing's heart skipped a beat, and her straight waist suddenly collapsed. She muttered to herself, "Why didn't he tell me in person? Could it be that he was going..."
"By the way, where is Master Hongguang?"
The maid Xiaoyu whispered: "Master Hongguang didn't come back all night, but before he left, Mr. Xu said, don't worry, he and Master Hongguang will come back safely."
I don't know why, but maid Xiaoyu always feels a little strange.
Both Mr. Xu who gave instructions in the morning and the lady in front of him at this moment were extremely abnormal.
Zhou Lianqing sighed, and after a while, he quickly adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice: "Notify the car to be prepared, I want to go to the company immediately."
Now that Guo Guanglong is dead, while the Guo family is still fighting among themselves, we must formulate strategic ideas as soon as possible, and cannibalize as much as we can.
With this in mind, she immediately rushed to the company. As soon as she arrived, she heard from the rosy-faced secretary that the Huo family was here to discuss cooperation.
…
The endless sea surface is calm and calm, with only seagulls flying in the sky, passing by the sea surface to hunt for food from time to time, breaking the dullness.
Xu Ping stood on the deck with a complicated expression.
He was thinking about whether animals or beasts were inferior, which of the two was stronger.
If I said I wasn't tempted last night, that would definitely be a lie. No matter how high a person's moral character is, it's still hard to let go of his innate desire.
There was still a moment of throbbing when the beauty was in my arms.
But after the throb, looking at the unconscious Zhou Lianqing, he still made a decision that was worse than a beast.
Now, I feel a little regretful.
On the deck next to him, Wang Hongguang was sitting on the ground, his head moving slowly as he dozed off.
This one is different from him. Yesterday, he made an appointment with the secretary to have a heart-to-heart talk. As for what happened next...
Anyway, Xu Ping found him on the hotel bed.
"The secretary seems to be called Ruoyun!" Xu Ping finally remembered the secretary's name, and when Wang Hongguang heard the voice, he also opened his eyes and said with a pair of panda eyes: "Brother Xu, I was not forced yesterday.
She and I are in free love."
Xu Ping glanced at him: "I didn't say anything."
Wang Hongguang chuckled, squinted his eyes, and seemed to be still thinking about it. After a moment, he cursed again: "This dead dragon is disturbing my good things. Let's see how I deal with it."
Huo Zhinan sent news yesterday that the unknown ferocious beast entrenched near the den of the ghost-faced thief should be a dragon.
Xu Ping found Wang Hongguang early in the morning and immediately went to sea.
After Wang Hongguang finished scolding, when Xu Ping didn't respond, he stood up and said with a smile: "Of course, with my own strength, I'm not even close, I still have to take action, brother Xu."
"Stop talking nonsense..." Xu Ping put aside his messy thoughts and said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, I will go and lure the dragon out first, and you will act accordingly."
Wang Hongguang nodded, then turned to look around and asked, "Hey, where is Brother Huo?"
The boat belonged to Huo Zhinan, and he also accompanied him on the voyage.
"嘤嘤~"
Suddenly there was a strange cry from behind. The two of them looked back and saw Huo Zhinan walking out with a sweet look on her face, "Sorry, I'm trying to fuse the power of the demon fox."
These days, it is really not easy to find a few monsters that are free of evil spirits and full of spiritual energy.
He was obviously a middle-aged man, but he had a charming look on his face, and the constant charm he exuded made the sailors on the ship look sideways.
Xu Ping discovered through the Qi-gazing technique that Huo Zhinan's charming appearance was caused by the white fox entering his body that night.
After thinking for a while, Xu Ping advised: "Brother Huo, luring the demon fox into the body is not a trivial matter. If you don't do it well, you will easily lose your mind and turn into a walking zombie."
"I know!"
Huo Zhinan nodded and spoke in a gentle voice: "Our Huo family's spirit-binding technique has been passed down from generation to generation. It is not difficult to fuse and drive these demon foxes. It's just that there are too many demon foxes fused at once this time, so it has some side effects."
Wang Hongguang was so mesmerized when he heard his voice that he knew how powerful it was.
"Brother Huo, please stop talking. I can't bear it anymore." Wang Hongguang's face was red and beads of sweat were visible on his forehead.
Huo Zhinan immediately shut up, shook his head, and entered the cabin alone.
After he left, Wang Hongguang exhaled heavily and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves. He said with lingering fear: "It's fortunate that Brother Huo is a decent person, otherwise, all the women in the world would suffer."
Looking at Wang Hongguang, who had a look of fear and a little bit of envy on his face, Xu Ping shook his head and said, "Didn't your master give you a self-defense treasure before leaving? Why don't you take it out and use it."
Wang Hongguang touched his chest and smiled: "Of course good things should be used at the most critical time."
…
Three poles in the sun.
A small island appeared on the sea level, and Xu Ping looked at it.
This island is very strange. Half of it is green, with green grass and trees, while the other half is full of jagged rocks and no grass.
"Master Huo, we're here."
The captain shouted into the cabin, and Huo Zhinan came out immediately. At this time, the soft aura on his body decreased, and it was obvious that he was almost integrated, and his control was enhanced.
Xu Ping, who was standing on the deck, turned his head and said, "Brother Huo, don't get close yet, so as not to scare others. I'll go to the island to check first."
Huo Zhinan nodded: "Mr. Xu, please be careful. Well...my people found scales on the other side of the island, and then they learned that the dragon was hiding here."
Facing them was a green forest. When the boat came slightly closer, Xu Ping jumped down, walked on the waves, and landed on a white beach.
This place used to be the den of the Ghost-faced Thieves. There are some buildings on the seaside, including a row of wooden houses and a lookout tower.
But at this time it was empty.
"Brother Huo said that the location where the dragon scales were found is on the other side, but there is no guarantee that the dragon will not go elsewhere..." Xu Ping was careful and went straight over.
While walking in the dense forest on the island, Xu Ping was surprised to find that there were no living creatures here, not even the seagulls, the most common birds on the island.
There must be something strange about this island. Perhaps, this is also the reason why the dragon came here.
Xu Ping thought secretly in his heart.
Weird walked through the dense forest and arrived at the middle of the island. It was like a boundary. The other side was full of strange black rocks.
There is definitely something wrong with this island.
Xu Ping has searched for records in the Qingnang Sutra, but has found nothing.
Such a strange scene cannot be formed naturally, but there is no record of it in Feng Shui books.
Just as he was wondering, Xu Ping had already stepped onto the other side of the island. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, and there were large black clouds surging in the distance.
Xu Ping was shocked when he saw the black clouds moving very fast and seemed to be running toward him. When the black clouds got a little closer, he suddenly discovered that the black clouds were actually crows with strange shapes.
I saw these crows, all with ferocious faces and scarlet eyes. At a glance, they looked just like pirates wearing ghost masks.
Knowing that these crows were coming with bad intentions, Xu Ping stood still, slipped his cuffs, and held two daggers in both hands.
The copper coin sword bloomed with dazzling golden light, and the willow sword appeared with thunder. The aura on his body rose rapidly, and the crows like black clouds suddenly stopped in their tracks.
A group of crows stopped more than ten meters away from Xu Ping, with their sharp beaks on their ferocious faces, roaring crazily at him.
"Crack!"
As he was looking intently, suddenly, a mask flew out from the black cloud of crows. The mask was exactly the same as the one worn on the face of the ghost-faced thief.
What's the meaning?
Can I enter the island only if I wear it?
Then why didn't Brother Huo mention it before?
After thinking this, Xu Ping slashed out two sword lights without saying a word, golden light and thunder burst out, exploding countless blood flowers among the black crows.
The crazy black crow obviously didn't expect that Xu Ping would dare to take action first, and rushed over in a swarm, surrounding Xu Ping in the middle.
Golden light protects the body, and thunder sweeps across.
Xu Ping alone surrounded thousands of black crows. Wherever the thunder struck, all the black crows turned into powder.
It is only a matter of time before they are resolved.
In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Xu Ping directly used his external avatar. An avatar rushed out of the black crows and flew directly towards the place where he came from, heading straight for the ship on the beach.
Wang Hongguang and Huo Zhinan, who were standing at the bow of the ship, saw a figure approaching quickly. They were both on guard. When they saw it was Xu Ping, they both became happy.
"Brother Xu, have you found any traces of the dragon?"
Xu Ping's incarnation did not answer, but when it landed on the deck, the fingers of both hands stretched out thin threads of lightning, wrapping Huo Zhinan tightly.
"Mr. Xu, what do you mean? When has Huo ever offended you?"
Huo Zhinan looked surprised.
Xu Ping's incarnation has half the strength and can also be controlled by Xu Ping's thoughts, "Let me ask you, you said before that your people found the scales on the other side of the ship, how did you enter, and what happened?
How was it discovered?”
Huo Zhinan was shocked on the spot and frowned: "They are all ordinary people in the family. The sailors who boarded the ship were also on the ship."
"Wealthy!"
Huo Zhinan, who was struck by lightning, shouted, and a sailor who was hiding under the cabin climbed out immediately.
He stood in front of the three people tremblingly.
"Tell me exactly what happened after boarding the ship that day. No omissions are allowed."
Huo Zhinan also understood at this time that Xu Ping must have discovered some problems after landing on the island and misunderstood him.
The sailor named Fugui also knew that the people in front of him were going to do something great, so he hurriedly said: "Bosses, after I landed on the island, I was searching on the other side of the island, which is the side where there is no grass.
I found two scales, nothing unusual?"
Very smooth and very ordinary!
Xu Ping kept his eyes on the sailor. Xu Ping could still tell whether he was lying.
What is going on? Could this island be targeting practitioners?
The biggest difference between Xu Ping and this sailor is that he is a spiritual practitioner.
After pondering for a moment, he untied the thunder and lightning on Huo Zhinan's body: "Brother Huo, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I will apologize to you another day."
Huo Zhinan was not a stingy person, so he didn't take it seriously and asked quickly: "Mr. Xu, did you discover something?"
When he told his discovery and the black crows he encountered, the sailor also looked surprised and frightened. If they had encountered those black crows that day, they would definitely have been dead.
Huo Zhinan first told him to hide in the cabin, and then continued to ask: "So, this island is quite magical. It can detect whether the person who lands on the island is a cultivator or an ordinary person."
After hearing what he said, Wang Hongguang hurriedly said: "In this case, the three of us will land on the island together so that we can take care of each other."
They still don't know that Xu Ping in front of them is just an avatar.
Xu Ping just wanted to confirm whether Huo Zhinan was lying. Hearing Wang Hongguang's suggestion, he shook his head: "That's not appropriate. Since you know that the island will target cultivators, you should not come up for the time being."
With that said, this incarnation jumped up and headed straight to the island, gradually disappearing from the sight of the two people.
Although I was unprepared, as soon as Mr. Xu made a move, I was completely helpless. What kind of Taoism is this...
It's useless for me to think of helping... Huo Zhinan was amazed and a little frustrated.
Wang Hongguang was already used to it. When he saw that Huo Zhinan's expression was the same as that he had seen countless times before, he comforted him: "Brother Huo, don't be too discouraged. Actually..."
"Follow Brother Xu for two more days, and you'll get used to it."
