Chapter 305 Which No. 1 Assassin?
The innkeeper was a man who had seen a lot of things. He didn't even show any surprise when he saw the two men lying in a mess and covered in blood.
"Please wait a moment, my dear guests. We have hot water and clean clothes."
With just a few words, everything is arranged properly.
Shi Li glanced at Xuan Yi and said, "My bracelet..."
"Mine." Xuan Yi had no intention of returning the bracelet to her.
Shi Li: ...
Take your time, she's in no hurry.
Although I couldn't take a shower because of my injuries, changing into clean, new clothes and lying in a dry, warm bed could still make me relax.
Shi Li thought she could fall asleep quickly, but she stayed awake with her eyes open until late at night.
"Do you think Xuan Yi likes me?"
By accident, Shi Li asked what was in her heart.
As soon as these words were spoken, the sparse barrage of comments immediately became dense.
[Yo yo yo, the anchor is in love for the first time~]
[Check it out, I feel the host's girlish thoughts~]
[So, girl, why don’t you just ask the person involved? ]
When someone in the barrage gives a bad idea, others will follow suit.
System message: User [六月爱梨] initiated a bounty.
Reward requirement: The anchor, go and ask clearly, I support you!
Bounty reward: a [Private Yacht].
Shi Li's breathing stagnated, and she rolled her eyes fiercely at the void, "I just want to ask you, what is the hope of me getting the bracelet back? Do you have anything else in your mind?"
[Haha, even if the anchor is gone and his body is cremated, his mouth will still be strong.]
[Yes, I have already thought of the name of your and Xuan Yi’s child~]
[Don’t be a coward, just fly boldly. If something goes wrong, you will bear the consequences yourself! ]
Shi Li: ...Thank you.
He turned over in anger, facing the gray wall. Just across the wall was Xuan Yi's room.
Shi Li hesitantly stretched out her hand and tapped twice, "Xuan Yi?"
Almost immediately, a familiar voice came from the other end, "Does your hand hurt?"
"My hand doesn't hurt." Shi Li's eyes lit up and she spoke hopefully, "I want my bracelet."
Perhaps really tired of being pestered, Xuan Yi was silent for a while, then said coldly: "I'll return the 100 taels to you when we get to Liaocheng."
Okay, that’s fine. One hundred taels is not expensive.
Shi Li felt relieved, looked at the wall, closed her eyes, and finally fell asleep.
next door--
The window is open.
The cold moonlight poured down, illuminating the young man's face beside the bed, which looked as white as snow, as if a layer of shimmering light was floating on it.
Hearing the heavy breathing from the other side, the tail of her red lips curved, and she leaned against the bedpost with her eyelids drooped.
The next day, Shi Li woke up from the pain of her hand injury.
Everyone has moments of weakness. Thinking about the days when he was a eunuch and walking on thin ice, and then thinking about this time when he was repeatedly hunted and almost died here, his eyes couldn't help but tear up.
Why her?
If possible, who doesn't want to live a simple life?
After being emo for a while, Shi Li pulled himself together and prepared to get up, but heard a knock on the door.
The shopkeeper's voice rang out from outside, "Sir, the doctor is here to change the medicine."
Shi Li was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked towards the next room where there was no movement, "Xuan Yi?"
"If you don't want your palm to be deformed, just bear with it." Xuan Yi responded.
Shi Li then obediently opened the door and let the doctor in.
"Although it's a little rough, it's okay." The old doctor took off the sleeves and branches, and expressed his satisfaction with Xuan Yi's medical skills.
Shi Li said nothing, enduring the pain of re-fixing the splint, staring at the gray wall.
Xuan Yi never showed up.
But when the shopkeeper and the doctor went out together, he smiled and said, "The guest next door said that he would stay in the inn for another day. The guest should have a good rest."
Shi Li nodded, saw the two off, closed the door, then turned around and opened the window.
Sure enough, the window next door was also open.
"Xuan Yi." she called out.
After waiting for a while, half a piece of bright red clothes and a wisp of black hair blown out of the window by the wind appeared next door.
"Where are you going when I get to Liaocheng?"
"Find the next employer." The answer came without hesitation. As an assassin, he would work for whoever paid the most.
If the dog emperor had not gone back on his word this time, he would not have had to make things difficult for him and delay him for so long.
Xuan Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the long sword at his waist, missing the taste of sour apples a little.
"Oh."
Shi Li responded, and the topic ended there.
They are already very close to Liaocheng and will arrive in three to five days at most.
By then... we will never see each other again.
