Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 396
After hearing Yuan Sheng's words, the short-haired woman swallowed the words suddenly.

In a village full of women, a man finally came, which woman would not want to scramble to keep him?
However, Su Ji observed the expression of the short-haired woman, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. The short-haired woman's reaction was unexpected. Although she was strictly rejected, she didn't seem to have any strong emotional fluctuations, nor did she intend to keep her.

Could it be that her request was not as simple as letting herself stay?
Yuan Sheng didn't care what he said just now, facing the table full of delicacies, he let go of his stomach and ate happily.

The short-haired woman had a panoramic view of the voracious food, and she still showed an unbelievable calmness in the face of such an impolite child.

After eating and drinking, Yuan Sheng wiped his mouth and said, "Where to sleep?"

Facing the short-haired woman, Su Ji said politely, "Thank you for your hospitality, I won't bother you tonight, and I'm leaving."

As soon as the words fell, the maidservants stood in a row and suddenly stood in front of Su Ji, blocking the way.

"Get out!"

The short-haired woman waved her hand, and the maidservants looked at each other and retreated reluctantly.

Su Ji nodded, and led Yuan Sheng out of the gate.

Looking at the back of Su Ji leaving in a cool way, a maid bit her lip and stomped her foot and said, "What should I do! That young master is gone!"

Another maid looked at the short-haired woman and said unwillingly, "You let him go just like that?"

The short-haired woman said indifferently: "They want to find the hole by themselves, so let them do it."

Seeing that it was too dark outside the window, the maid frowned and said, "It's so dark, where can I find it?"

The short-haired woman smiled slightly and said, "I bet you that they will definitely be back before dawn."

A maid worriedly said: "That young master must have some skills to break through the barrier and come to our Nuruo Village. If he can't find Po'erdong and comes back to vent his anger on us and force us to tell the whereabouts of Po'erdong, then What should I do?"

The short-haired woman said: "King Ruyi has cast spells in the village, no amount of illusion can force us to say things we don't want to say. Besides, if the young master wanted to do this, he would have done it just now, and he would not have personally brought the apprentice overnight Look for it. He's not that kind of man."

The maidservants echoed one after another: "That's right, that young master is a gentleman, we must keep him, and then send his ugly apprentice bastard!"

The short-haired woman said sternly: "Don't always think about men. What we need most is a strong man with profound morals to help us get rid of King Ruyi's clutches."

The maidservants lowered their heads one after another, expressions of fear appearing on their faces.

A maid said tremblingly: "If we become self-defeating, if King Ruyi finds out that we have been unfaithful to him, we are afraid that we will be in danger..."

"This matter must not be spread, otherwise we will all die!"

The short-haired woman emphasized sharply, and immediately led a group of maidservants to wait in the pavilion at the entrance of the village, ready to welcome Su Ji who had returned in vain.

When the sun rose, as expected by the short-haired woman, the master and the apprentice walked back dejectedly in the morning light.

Yuan Sheng didn't close his eyes all night, he was dizzy from exhaustion, and complained: "The woman said that there is a broken hole in Jieyang Mountain in the south, and we searched it for hundreds of miles. , where is there any cave!"

Su Ji said: "That King Ruyi must have cast a blind spell. This spell is far more powerful than the barrier outside Nuruo Village."

Yuan Sheng said: "There are less than two days left, and Wei's [-] troops will soon attack Shen. Why don't we go back first?"

Su Ji didn't speak, and walked towards the village silently. When he got to the pavilion outside the village, suddenly a lot of women ran out from nowhere, and they were the maids who entertained him last night.

The maidservants knelt in a row in front of Su Ji, begging one after another:
"Young master, we have been waiting for you here all night, and we only hope that you will change your mind!"

"Young master, please be sure to stay, we will take the patriarch to propose to you!"

"If the young master agrees, we will prepare now, and the wedding ceremony can be held today!"

Just as Su Ji was about to refuse, Yuan Sheng touched his arm suddenly.

"Master, since the sisters are so sincere, you should agree." Yuan Sheng actually changed his words, his eyes rolled away, and he winked desperately at Su Ji.

Seeing that Su Ji didn't speak, the short-haired woman thought he had acquiesced, and hurriedly said:
"Young master, I will come as soon as I go!"

Without giving Su Ji any chance to explain, the short-haired woman turned and left with the maidservants, leaving the master and apprentice standing in the pavilion.

Su Ji poked Yuan Sheng's head with his hand, and complained: "Little monkey, who told you to talk nonsense just now?"

Yuan Sheng laughed and said, "If you don't agree to this marriage, the patriarch will definitely not want to reveal the whereabouts of Po'erdong. You can only agree to this marriage first and coax them to talk about it. Besides, there are women in the entire village of Nuruo Village. Could it be that Master, you are not tempted at all?"

It's not that Su Ji doesn't like women, but he just thinks that although there are many women in this Nuruo Village, they are mediocre in appearance, and there is not even one pleasing to the eye.

After a cup of tea, there was a commotion in the distant village.

A carriage came out of the boiling village.

The eyes of the women in the village were all attracted by the oncoming carriage, Su Ji and Yuan Sheng were no exception.

The carriage arrived in front of the master and the apprentice, and a woman about eighteen or nineteen years old stepped out of the carriage, wearing a long snow-white dress fluttering in the wind, like a holy white lotus.The long black hair shawls, and the two strands of hair on the temples float with the wind, adding a bit of charming style.

Su Ji asked, "Who is this?"

The short-haired woman took a step forward and introduced, "This is the patriarch of Nuruo Village."

"Patriarch?" Su Ji turned to look at the short-haired woman, "This is the patriarch, so who are you?"

The short-haired woman replied: "My name is Liu Shengnan, the patriarch's personal bodyguard."

Su Ji carefully looked at the female patriarch, only to see that she had curved brows and a small mouth, with snowy skin and smooth skin, and her face was even more delicate.

The matriarch blinked her bright eyes, and said softly, "Little girl, I have seen you."

A small cherry mouth was slightly opened, and the matriarch's sweet breath sprayed on Su Ji's face, intoxicating.

How can Su Ji, a man of high blood and vigor, remain unmoved?However, what floated in his mind at this moment was another woman.

A cough sounded in his ear, and Yuan Sheng whispered, "Master, she looks like Sister Mu."

Su Ji answered silently, the matriarch in front of her had a Qingli temperament very similar to Mu Lingyu, but her appearance was slightly inferior.However, in Nuruo Village of Nuoda, Su Ji finally met a woman who was pleasing to the eye.

Facing Liu Shengnan, the female patriarch reprimanded: "Since the young master does not want to get married, why should we force others to make things difficult for us?"

Liu Shengnan opened his eyes slightly, bit his lip and said, "But..."

The female patriarch turned her head to look at Su Ji, and said softly: "The young master wants to know the whereabouts of Po'erdong, and the young lady is willing to tell."

Su Ji and Yuan Sheng looked at each other in disbelief.

The matriarch said: "There is a misty plain two miles south of Nuruo Village. Jieyang Mountain is hidden in the mist and can only be entered at three o'clock in the afternoon. The little girl does not know magic and has only been there once. The hole is right there."

Yuan Sheng suddenly realized: "No wonder we couldn't find it, so it was the wrong time to go!"

"Thank you."

Su Ji bid farewell, turned and left.

The women sighed one after another, with despair in their eyes, as if the last ray of hope had vanished.

However, Su Ji just took two steps.He stopped again, turned around and said, "Girls, if you need help, just ask..."

Liu Shengnan looked anxiously at the matriarch, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped talking.

After a moment of hesitation, the matriarch shook her head.
