Chapter 1074 The Demon Cult Leader is a Vampire
Next door was a stone chamber with only one door for entry and exit. It was spacious and bright, but there was no window for ventilation.
There was a stone bed in the corner, and a thin boy was lying motionless on the bed.
After Lingtan entered the room, he walked to the stone bed without hesitation, knelt down, and looked down at the young man on the bed.
"Don't worry, the person has been brought back. I'll help you keep an eye on him."
The boy on the bed blinked and his whole body became stiff as a stone.
"Don't worry about it. I'll go see her myself tomorrow morning."
"So you have so much free time?" Ling Tan couldn't help but chuckle and tapped the boy on the forehead. "Next month we will be electing the leader of the martial arts world. That's our best chance. Right now, the most important thing for you is to take care of your health."
The boy's eyes were as dark as ink, and a cold light flashed across them. "I know."
"Okay, okay, okay, forget my words. Just go to sleep. It must be very uncomfortable if you can't move. I'm leaving, brother."
Lingtan said the last sentence close to the boy's ear, without hiding his gloating at all.
She walked barefoot to the door, then suddenly stopped and looked back at the person on the bed. "I still haven't found your fiancée's whereabouts, and I don't know if she's still alive..."
The drizzle on a spring night quietly enters my dreams, blowing away the sad peach blossoms all over the ground.
Shi Li had a good sleep all night and slept until dawn.
He opened his eyes, sat up, and looked to the side with a dazed look on his face.
Lingtan got up better than her. She had already changed into a maid's clothes and was sitting leisurely by the bed, waiting for someone to call her.
Although her clothes were simple, they could not conceal her natural beauty at all, especially her pair of ankles dangling in the air, which were as white as jade and very moving.
Seeing Shi Li wake up, he smiled at her friendlyly, "Morning."
Everyone loves beauty. Even though Shi Li knew that her identity was strange, she could not refuse the beauty's kindness and immediately smiled back.
Today was the first day of work, and the masked man assigned them tasks. Shi Li was led outside the palace and was responsible for cleaning the flower fields outside.
The moment she walked out, Shi Li only felt a bright color.
Looking around, there are colorful and dazzling flowers of various kinds that cannot be named in the near distance, and farther away there are large peach groves, with blooming, half-opened, and budding peach blossoms that are warm and fragrant.
"Sweep up all the dead branches and petals that have fallen on the ground." This was the instruction given by the masked man.
After Shi Li heard it clearly, he was petrified on the spot.
The scenery is beautiful, but the workload...
[I remembered a fairy tale I had read before, in which the protagonist had to pick up 10,000 grains of millet...]
[I think I've seen it too~]
[There is a princess picking up millet in front, and a host picking up flower petals in the back, hahaha! ]
Shi Li rolled her eyes deeply at these gloating comments, then picked up the broom and started sweeping resignedly.
The flower forest was wet and muddy after the rain, and the branches, leaves and petals that fell on the ground were stuck to the soil, greatly weakening the effect of the broom.
Shi Li swept for a while and got so angry that she simply squatted down and picked up the fallen petals one by one with her hands.
Although this stupid method looks slow, it is actually much more efficient than sweeping with a broom.
If you squat for too long, your legs will feel numb and your head will feel dizzy when you stand up.
Especially after the sun rose, my vest was slightly sweaty from the sun, and it became even more difficult to squat and pick up petals.
"As a demonic sect, you plant so many flowers but don't know how to support a few more people... You don't have money, so why pretend to be a wealthy family..."
Shi Li kept picking up flower petals with her hands and muttering to herself, when suddenly a shadow appeared in front of her.
At the same time, a clear and pleasant voice was heard -
"What are you doing?"
Even the gurgling sound of a mountain stream could not stop the anger that this sentence brought to Shi Li.
"Are your eyesight bad? Can't you see that I'm picking petals?" She frowned and retorted unhappily, then looked up and stood up, looking at the person who was talking to her.
The young man in black looked very pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but his handsome and refined appearance was not diminished at all.
Almost flawless facial lines, straight eyebrows, and a pair of eyes as black as obsidian, faintly flashing with a clear light.
It also looks strangely familiar.
Shi Li pursed her lips, feeling a little regretful.
If she had known that the other person was so good-looking, she could have spoken more gently.
The boy didn't pay any attention to her attitude. He squatted down and picked up a petal covered with mud. "Then I'll help you pick it up."
Shi Li: ...Is this a meeting with a living Lei Feng?
Why not do something if someone is helping you?
Shi Li immediately became enthusiastic and took the initiative to talk to the boy.
"My name is Shi Li. Today is my first day here. What's your name?"
"Xuan Mo."
The young man stretched out his pale fingers and picked up a petal attentively. There was a little mud on his fingertips, and his slender fingers were as beautiful as jade joints.
Shi Li continued picking up flower petals on the ground while admiring the beauty.
Working together is much faster and more interesting than working alone.
By noon, most of the dead branches and flower petals on the ground had been picked up.
Shi Li stood up and clapped her hands. She looked at Xuan Mo who stood up with her and said something shocking -
"So, why did you bite me outside the temple that day?"
She recognized Xuan Mo at first sight, and held back from saying anything because she wanted him to help her finish the job.
