Chapter 464 Rice Paste
"Cough cough cough..."

Chu Qing coughed for a while, then frowned and looked at the wine jug in his hand:
"Where did you get this wine? It really irritates my throat."

"You're feeling guilty, aren't you?"

The shepherd boy tilted his head and looked at Chu Qing:

"Tell me quickly, I won't spread it around."

Chu Qing looked at her with empty eyes and shook his head helplessly:

"Why is a little girl so gossipy? However, the matter between Wenrou and me is not what you think..."

"What else can there be between a man and a woman?"

The shepherd boy spread his hands and said:
"We are not children anymore, even if we are just playing house, it is pure friendship.

"I think they have a very good relationship, so you may not be unable to enjoy the blessing of having two wives.

“Besides, it’s normal for a real man to have three wives and four concubines… Well, but it seems a little weird for me to advise you like this.

"Let me tell you, I, the shepherd boy, have a clear distinction between love and hate. I just said that I don't mean that. Unless you provoke me again in the future, I really don't mean that.

"It's not just to get you to take two more, but also to accept me as well.

"I am the daughter of the Xuan Emperor, but I am not so shameless."

"…You think too much."

Chu Qing shook her head helplessly. On the one hand, she didn't think there was any ambiguity in the shepherd's words. On the other hand, she really didn't understand Wenrou's situation.

This girl has no emotions, how can she know what love is like?
"That's good, that's good, come on, come on, drink some wine."

The shepherd boy and Chu Qing touched each other:
"Drink wine today, don't wait until there are no flowers to break branches..."

"??"

Are these two sentences connected?

Is he drunk?

Chu Qing drank two more sips of the wine in the pot, and then said to the shepherd boy:

"Okay, go down and rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning..."

The shepherd boy looked at Chu Qing with a flushed face:
"Speaking of which, what are your plans next?"

"Get ready to pack up and go back to Nanling."

There are less than two months left to participate in the Tianyi Sect’s martial arts conference.

Just in time to go back.

By the way, send Wenrou home... and it's time for me to meet Chu Yunfei and the others.

"Tianwu City is too small."

The shepherd boy glanced at Chu Qing:
"You will surely soar into the sky in the future. Don't let yourself have too many worries. Make more plans and avoid being controlled by others."

Chu Qing looked at her in surprise, then clasped his fists:
"Thank you."

"Thank you for saving my life!"

The shepherd boy said:
"Even if I don't pledge my love to you, it's enough for me to look at you differently.

"As long as you don't harm me, I'm willing to agree to any conditions you offer and I'm willing to consider anything for you.

"If there's anything you need my help with, just ask."

"it is good."

Chu Qing agreed.

The shepherd boy smiled and said:

"Interesting, you won't even try to shirk your responsibility?"

"I have a favor, but it is also a knot in my heart. I am not a saint. Why shouldn't I do something that is good for me? On the one hand, I can help you untie your knot, and on the other hand, I can help myself. Why not do it?"

"Transparent!"

The shepherd boy stood up and said:
"Okay, I'm going back to bed then."

"Night Pearl is not a good thing. You never know where it came from. Don't let it kill you."

Chu Qing watched her fly down from the roof and gave her another instruction.

The shepherd boy waved his hand without looking back and went towards his temporary residence for the night.

Chu Qing shook his head slightly, not knowing whether the girl had listened to him or not.

Night-shining pearls are naturally a good thing in this era...

But no one can say for sure whether there is radiation.

After all, people of that era did not understand the dangers of radiation. They just thought that this thing could glow and was a rare treasure, so they put it in the room and enjoyed a radiation bath every day.

After a long time, death is inevitable.

However, there were quite a few luminous pearls in this era, especially in some large families, who would always collect one or two.

But I have never heard of anyone dying suddenly because of the Night Pearl...

So Chu Qing did not stop the shepherd boy when he snatched the night pearl.

I am doing my utmost to give you this advice now.

If I say too much, people will think that he covets the night pearl and wants to give it all to me as a reward for saving my life. So should I take it or not?

After drinking a pot of wine, Chu Qing felt refreshed.

Just as I was about to go back to the house, I saw a figure walking stealthily in the darkness.

He put down the wine jug and in a flash he was already in front of the man.

"Ouch."

The man was caught off guard and his forehead hit Chu Qing's chest directly.

He grimaced in pain and couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He looked up and immediately blinked his clear eyes:
"Third brother."

"Why are you not sleeping at night and sneaking around? What are you doing?"

Chu Qing looked at Wenrou strangely, but he didn't see anything strange, he was just curious...

Wenrou hid her hands behind her back, with an indifferent expression:

"nothing."

"is it?"

Chu Qing tilted her head and looked at her:
"Are Xiao Rourou and Third Brother no longer close? Are you starting to lie to me?"

Wenrou raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Qing. Her gaze was clear, but she was surprised in her heart.

Why does Chu Qing look a little different tonight?
She raised her nose and sniffed:
"Third brother, have you been drinking?"

"A little bit."

Chu Qing nodded. This little bit of alcohol would naturally not have any effect on him. However, in order to enjoy the feeling of being tipsy, he did not use his internal energy to remove the alcohol.

The way he spoke was inevitably a little different from Chu Qing's normal words.

After hesitating for a moment, Wenrou took her hand out from behind and spread it out... There was a hamster lying on her palm?

Chu Qing picked it up. The little thing had silver-white fur and dark eyes. It struggled desperately between Chu Qing's fingers. It looked clumsy yet cute.

"It… hurts."

Wenrou pleaded for the little hamster.

Chu Qing smiled:
"No, it's just a little scared."

As he said this, he placed it in his palm. The little fellow who originally wanted to escape, inexplicably stopped and curled up in Chu Qing's hand, motionless, just looking at Chu Qing pitifully.

Also looking a little pitiful is Wenrou:
"Can I...keep it?"

"Where did it come from?"

Chu Qing asked subconsciously, but then he had the answer.

Sure enough, I heard Wenrou say:

"Pick it up."

Chu Qing sighed. It had been a long time since he had experienced the gentle 'Innate Holy Body of Picking Up Things'.

I thought this ability was no longer effective... after all this time it has been upgraded.

In the past, we only picked up dead things, but now, we’ve started picking up animals, right?
He nodded and placed the little hamster in his gentle hands:
"Okay, if you want to raise it, just don't hurt yourself."

Wenrou nodded repeatedly:

"Thank you, Third Brother. Third Brother, please extend your hand." Chu Qing extended his hand upon hearing this.

Wenrou held the little hamster and came to Chu Qing's palm. The little hamster struggled desperately, but Wenrou didn't care at all:
"Don't move. Third Brother has promised you to be with us, so you have to show some appreciation."

As she spoke, she opened the hamster's mouth and gently squeezed its cheeks.

Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was he planning to give her some nuts?

Just as he was about to retract his hand, he heard a snap and a red gem came out of the little hamster's mouth.

"This hamster eats this?"

Chu Qing's eyes widened, and then he heard a snapping sound, and a yellow gem was spit out.

Next... is a piece of broken gold.

The little hamster almost cried out of pain, and Wenrou withdrew her hand:
"It's amazing, isn't it? It's just like me, it can always pick up some weird things!"

No, you two are different!
This little thing can pick up gems, gold...only you can pick up some weird things!

Chu Qing re-examined the little hamster, but he didn't see anything special.

"Could this be the legendary treasure-hunting rat?"

Chu Qing had a thought in his mind, but he couldn't help laughing. Love whatever you want. If Wenrou finds her, she is hers. Why think too much?

He nodded lightly:

"It's really amazing. Okay, go back and rest early."

"Ah."

She gently held the little hamster in her hand and left very satisfied.

Chu Qing looked back at her, but shook his head and went back to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, no one came to Chu Qing's room, which made him feel a little strange.

When I walked out the door, I found this group of people gathered around a table.

The little hamster in the middle sat there like a person, looking at these bored humans with boredom...and seemed a little sleepy.

"so cute!!"

There was a gleam in Wu Qianhuan's eyes, and she seemed to be melted by cuteness.

The shepherd boy also exclaimed in admiration:
"This little fellow is born special and cannot be guessed by common sense. Where did you pick him up? Can you take me to pick up another one?"

Wan Chunhua was mumbling to the side, his voice very low.

But Chu Qing still heard it clearly:

"What do you mean by born special? He is just born bad. He ran into my room early in the morning to steal my shark-slaying knife... He is not even as big as the handle of the knife, but he dares to dream of doing so. It is simply absurd."

Chu Qing almost laughed out loud, but it seemed like this little thing did have some tricks.

Knowing that the Shark-Slaying Sword was a treasure, he actually wanted to take it for himself.

He coughed, attracting everyone's attention. Seeing Chu Qing, Wu Qianhuan quickly said:
"Come quickly, Xiao Rourou found a little mouse, it's so funny."

"I know."

Chu Qing came up to him:

"I saw it last night. Um, do you want to give it a name?"

"last night?"

The shepherd boy looked at Chu Qing and Wenrou in surprise.

Wenrou thought for a moment and said:
"It ate a lot of rice porridge this morning, so why not just call it rice porridge."

Can hamsters eat rice cereal?

Chu Qing didn't quite understand for a moment...but this thing was probably not a real hamster, it just looked like one.

He nodded immediately:

“It’s called rice paste.

"Okay, take this little thing away. We should set off after dinner."

Wenrou waved to Xiaomihu. This little guy was surprisingly quite human.

After just one night of getting along, he has begun to be obedient.

He slowly ran to Wenrou's side, quickly hid himself in her sleeve, found a good position and fell asleep.

Before they finished their breakfast, the group of people who were rescued from Tianfo Village came over.

They said that there was a fog outside the Tianfo Temple and they had no way to disperse it. It seemed to be a strange formation.

Many people were trapped in this formation at that time and entered the Tianfo Village in a daze.

Chu Qing nodded, this was indeed a formation.

And when he saw it, he felt that this formation was very similar to the formation he saw in Qingxi Village that day.

However, the formation in Qingxi Village is not that powerful, and the one around Tianfo Temple is obviously more complicated.

He glanced at Wan Chunhua:
"Do you have any way to get out of here?"

"...I stumbled into this place by accident. I was dazed when I came in, and I was also dazed when I left."

Wan Chunhua scratched his head:
"I know nothing about formations."

"It doesn't matter, I understand."

The shepherd boy smiled and said:

"If you don't even know how to use formations, how can you be a thief?"

This statement is inexplicably reasonable.

Chu Qing nodded:

"Okay, then you try it. If you can't do it, I'll do it."

"You are also proficient in formations?"

"No, I am only proficient in breaking the formation."

"??"

The shepherd boy was a little confused. What did that mean... He didn't understand the formation, but was proficient in breaking it? Could these words be combined?
Fortunately, although the shepherd boy didn't understand Chu Qing's meaning, this formation was indeed not difficult for her.

Taking Chu Qing and others, they rushed into the fog and destroyed several piles of stones. The fog that was spreading around them actually dissipated.

Those trapped here can also see the path clearly.

Some people immediately recognized the surrounding terrain. They were mountain people living nearby, but they didn't know the way home because their vision was blocked by the fog. Now that the fog has disappeared, they have become the most powerful guides in the mountain.

As for those masters coming from other places, this mountain road will not be a problem for them as long as there is no fog blocking them.

The group was extremely excited and knelt down in front of Chu Qing:

"Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"May I ask your name, benefactor? If you need us in the future, we will definitely repay you with a gift of grass and a ring."

"I am grateful for your kindness, and I will never refuse even if I die."

Chu Qing waved his hand. Before he could speak, Wan Chunhua took a step forward:
"So that everyone knows, my young master is the leader of the martial arts world in Lingbei, and is known as the Third Young Master in the martial arts world!

"The Buddha Prince of Zhitian Cult saw this evil sect killing fellow martial artists, so he risked his life to eliminate the evil for the martial arts world!"

"It turned out to be the Third Young Master!"

"The leader of the Lingbei martial arts world? I am from Lingbei... I didn't expect that Lingbei now has a leader. The leader is righteous!!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

Chu Qing looked at Wan Chunhua helplessly, then waved his hand gently:

"Well, now that you are out of trouble, let's go back home and report that you are safe.

"The mountains are high and the rivers are long, the road is long, take care."

"Sir, take care!"

"I hope you will have a long and happy life."

"The mountains are high and the waters are long, I hope to see you again!!"

After another round of compliments and blessings, these people dispersed.

Before the two heroes of the vast sea left, Chu Qing asked them to send Meng Hui's token back to Xu Huai Sect in the Eastern Region and convey the bad news.

The two heroes of the vast sea obeyed the order solemnly and regarded it as the most important mission.
