Although Mo Cheng had some ulterior motives in bringing her to the cemetery to talk, he still didn't leave her behind when he was frightened enough. Instead, he ran back to pick her up, so he continued the journey

, Chen Baiqi no longer acted mischievously, but was very "secure and disciplined" and no longer played the interesting game of "Here comes the ghost" with him.

In the cemetery, while Mo Cheng was scared away, she had successfully obtained the "Loyal and Strong Soul*2". She thought that there should be many graves in such a large bone burial ground suitable for her to prepare doll potions.

"Loyal and strong soul", but in fact there are not as many as she thought.

She then thought about it again. If a person with loyalty, benevolence and tenacity was on the battlefield, there might be more people with such qualities. But nowadays, most of the people buried in such graves are probably ordinary people.

Or maybe they were refugees who were killed and abandoned casually in troubled times. They might be lucky to have two loyal and strong souls.

Although she collected the "Loyal and Strong Soul", she did not move the bones buried in the cemetery. Although many of the graves here are simple, it can be seen that they were buried and marked by someone. They must have family members.

Come to worship, she cannot touch the bones of these ordinary people.

Prescription: [Doll Potion Formula]

Recipe: Loyal and tough soul*1 plus the body of the dead, you will be able to refine a bottle of evil doll potion.

Now her "Doll Potion" only needs a dead body to make it, but she is not in a hurry, it depends on the fate.

Mo Cheng politely sent Chen Baiqi back to Xianyang City this time. Although the city gate was closed at the moment, Mo Cheng relied on his strong martial arts, so this was not a problem.

Along the way, he seemed confused and kept asking Chen Baiqi several times if he had seen anything strange in the cemetery.

Chen Baiqi naturally denied it.

After Mo Cheng entered the city, he placed Chen Baiqi on the street. At this time, the streets and alleys of Xianyang City were deserted. The moonlight was like clear water, hazy, the eaves were heavy with smoke and willows painted on the bridge, and the dim treetops were light.

There is a rustling sound, and occasionally the crisp "dang-dang" sound of the watch can be heard not far away.

He took off his curtain hat, straightened his slightly pointed chin, and asked with a serious expression: "I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the Qin Palace at this time."

Chen Baiqi stroked his wrinkled sleeves and said slowly, "Well, I will find a place to stay outside for the night."

"Let's go then." Mo Cheng agreed very much, saying that he rushed ahead.

Chen Baiqi did not move. She glanced at him: "You want to join me?"

There was something playful and teasing about that look.

Obviously, his sentence "Let's go" was not about her leaving, but let's go together.

Mo Cheng turned around, and when the half-side of his handsome face was serious, it was no longer solemn and awe-inspiring, but instead looked a bit gangster and intimidating.

He found that since this visit to the cemetery, "Chen Huanxian" was inexplicably not afraid of him. Of course, she couldn't be said to be "afraid" in the past, but she was more strict and polite when facing him. It was better not to say anything at the moment.

So polite.

When I was being good, I shouted "Master Mo, Master Mo" for free, but now I turn around, it's yours.

His eyes darkened, and he said in a cold and mocking voice: "Why, this is such a fool, can't I find a place to stay too?"

Chen Baiqi didn't say no, he just thought about it and said, "Do you have money?"

When Mo Cheng heard this, he was furious. He walked back a few steps and picked her up by the collar, dragged her a few steps, then leaned over his head and hummed: "Boy, don't underestimate me!"

Chen Baiqi tugged on his hand, only to find that this man's body was like steel, every part was hard and he could not be shaken at all.

"But didn't I give you your money?" Chen Baiqi still remembered that he gave him gold.

Don't choke for a moment.

"So what?" He bared his teeth.

"So... let's live separately." Chen Baiqi finally grabbed his collar back, turned around and left.

But he was still carried back by Mo Cheng.

"no."

Chen Baiqi looked at him speechlessly.

"I'm a rebellious person by nature. If you avoid me like this, I still want to live with you!" After saying that, Mo Cheng stretched out his arms to pick Chen Baiqi up, and then disappeared with a "whoosh" sound.

In situ.

——

Mo Cheng found an ordinary thatched house and forced Chen Baiqi to sleep with him all night.

The house was not big, with only three rooms, one for the owner and one for his children. There was only one empty room left, so he rented it to them.

Chen Baiqi wanted to take a quilt and lay it on the floor, but Mo Cheng refused and tapped her acupoints and moved her directly onto the bed.

Damn! You really think she is a piece of wood!

So even they slept together at night. God knew that this was the first time in her life that she slept in the same bed with a man, but there was no charming atmosphere between them, only big eyes staring at each other.

She was so angry at his willfulness and domineeringness that she felt itchy. At the same time, she also regretted scaring him so hard, otherwise he wouldn't have been so clingy.

Even until midnight, she heard him grinding his teeth, humming and mumbling: "Go away, go away, don't bother me with demons and monsters..."

Chen Baiqi touched his forehead and sighed: "..." She is really guilty...

The next day, as soon as Chen Baiqi woke up, he couldn't wait to part ways with Mo Cheng.

Perhaps because he forced "Chen Huanxian" to sleep with him all night last night, Mo Cheng recalled feeling somewhat guilty.

When he saw Chen Baiqi's sullen face, black eyes, and quiet expression, he laughed dryly.

"Where are you going?" He grabbed one of Chen Baiqi's arms who was trying to slip away.

Chen Baiqi turned her head and glanced at him lightly, then gently rubbed her swollen forehead. She couldn't hide her fatigue after a sleepless night.

She was not a real man, so it was strange that she could sleep peacefully next to another man, especially a man she was not familiar with.

"Enter the palace." She said simply.

After coughing, Mo Cheng let go of her, then with a serious look on his face, he said: "Chen Huanxian, I'll leave that matter to you."

Chen Baiqi raised his eyes and saw how serious he looked. He paused and then nodded and said, "I will try my best."

Mo Cheng saw that when she was serious or angry, she acted like a little old man, so rigid and cold that it was uncomfortable. He thought for a moment and raised his hands helplessly in a gesture of surrender.

"Don't be offended by what happened last night." He looked away from her and said with a stern look on his face, a little uncomfortable: "We are all men, so it doesn't matter if we lie together. If you don't like it, I won't force you anymore."

.”

Chen Baiqi heard the assurance in his words and didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but she thought that if an ordinary man encountered this matter, he probably shouldn't have such a big reaction. So, she pondered for a moment and said: "I just don't like others to force me to do so."

I do things I don’t like.”

"I walked around the cemetery last night and encountered beautiful ghosts and butterflies. Are you really not afraid at all?" Seeing Chen Baiqi's softened expression, Mo Cheng immediately asked the doubts in his mind.

"If I'm afraid, wouldn't it follow your wishes?" Chen Baiqi chuckled, turned around and left.

Behind her, Mo Cheng held his sword and smiled, his green eyes like gems with sunlight shining through them, rarely removing impurities and haze, leaving only the most essential self.

What a little fox. Sometimes he wonders if the ghost he encountered was caused by her using the mind-telling technique... But there is no evidence for all this. I'm afraid she won't admit it stupidly if he asks her.

Therefore, when he got into trouble this time, he was just picking a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

——

After being separated from Mo Cheng, Chen Baiqi didn't care if he was still secretly following him, and she didn't really enter the palace. Anyway, it was okay for her to enter the palace at the moment, so he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Ji Ying first.

It's a pity that no one was seen in the end, and we couldn't even enter the gate.

When the "concierge" saw Chen Baiqi, he quickly recognized her and tactfully told Prime Minister Ji that he had no "time" to see her. As soon as she heard this half-hearted excuse, she knew that Ji Ying was not calm.

The "concierge" can be regarded as a discerning person. He knew that the Prime Minister and Chen Langjun must be at odds at the moment, and they might reconcile soon, so he made a good deal and told the Prime Minister that after he came back yesterday,

He sent a car back out of the city to pick her up, but he didn't expect that the driver had been waiting outside the valley all night. At dawn, Nanzhu in the valley came out and said that she had left Baihua Valley long ago, and the driver hurriedly came back to report.

The Prime Minister was very nervous when he learned about this matter, and even sent someone to the palace to inquire about her whereabouts. Now that he knew that she had returned safely, the Prime Minister was relieved. It just didn't happen that he was "busy" with something, so he

I can't make time to see her.

After listening to the "concierge"'s words, Chen Baiqi realized that Jiying had done these things for her that night, and he couldn't help but feel a little more guilty.

So, she sighed softly and handed over a long lacquered wood carving gift box that had been packaged in advance.

"Please give this to Prime Minister Ji, and say that Chen Huanxian hopes to have a pleasant conversation and drink with the Prime Minister again."

After saying that, she left with a slightly "lost" look.

As soon as the "concierge" waited for Chen Baiqi to leave, he ran quickly and entered the hall with this "gift box".

However, Ji Ying, who was previously defined as "busy" by the concierge, was now sitting in front of the desk in boredom, holding a bamboo scroll absentmindedly, not scrolling through a single frame for a long time.

Seeing that the "concierge" he thought before was actually not the real concierge, but a confidant of Jiying's house, he hurried over to ask for an audience. Jiying's expression changed and he let him in. The confidant knelt on the ground and first offered the "gift box".

At the same time, he also repeated what "Chen Huanxian" said when he left.

The maids wanted to get the "gift box" for him, but Ji Ying waved it away. After waving them away, he stood up with a nonchalant expression, walked to his confidant, and took it personally.

He opened the gift box and saw a hair scarf inside. This scarf was different from the ones on the market or from the palace. The pattern was novel in theme and unique in style. It was made of four colors: sapphire blue, crimson, grass green and white.

According to the pattern, the flowers are displayed separately, and star patterns, cloud patterns and some patterns he has never seen before are woven. The upper and lower cyclic patterns run through each other, and the double-layer embroidery light and dark patterns are interlaced, changing the totem in the light.

This hair scarf looks low-key, but in fact its fabric and double-layer embroidery are luxurious and expensive.

This hair scarf really suits Ji Ying's aesthetics and preferences, so his eyes are very complicated.

He especially remembered that he had some casual chats with Chen Huanxian.

He said: "There are very few items in this world that can be so in line with one's wishes. Most of them just barely follow one's wishes."

Chen Huanxian said: "That's because you didn't pay attention. If you observe and pay attention every day, how can you not know what the other person is thinking?"

He didn't take these words to heart at that time, but now when he saw the "apology" she gave him, he couldn't help but think of it.

System: The character presents "Romantic Hair Turban*1" to Jiying, which increases the favorability by 10.

System: Ji Ying's favorability towards the character is 5, and his current favorability is 65.

Chen Baiqi, who was walking to the palace gate, was surprised for a moment when he heard the system prompt, and then... he bent his eyes and smiled.

It seemed that Ji Ying was no longer angry with her.
