Li Ji frowned. Yu Xu's words didn't sound like a joke. Thinking back to what happened before, he sighed and asked, "Really? How likely is it?"

"Fifty percent. Maybe that much."

"What's the other half? Kill me?"

"Yes, I will kill you and then commit suicide." Yuxu smiled slightly, not believing it himself, and said with a somewhat uncertain tone: "To be honest, I can't tell the difference myself, but I have this kind of

I feel... maybe there is something wrong with me today." After saying that, she turned to Li Ji, who was sitting up, and said, "It's a pity, my junior brother, if you had seized the opportunity just now."

"I'm not interested. If it weren't for your terrifying charm skills, I think maybe I wouldn't be in Wanhua Tower now."

"..."

Yuxu was silent. She didn't speak for a long time. Suddenly she smiled and asked, "Want to take a bet?"

"What to bet on?"

Yuxu sat up straight and looked straight at Li Ji, as if seduced. A smile appeared on her lips and she said: "The slave family will not make any resistance at the moment and let you do whatever you want. Let's see what happens after you are done.

Is the slave more likely to want to kill you, or more likely to want to be your woman..."

"..."

"No gambling, no interest!" Li Ji affirmed and said categorically.

"Why? Isn't the slave beautiful?"

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

"Do you know how many people in this world miss the slave family?"

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

"Are you afraid of losing?"

"Why should I bet on something like this?"

"Ah, you are just afraid of losing. It turns out that I have misjudged you."

"You can say whatever you want. Now that your true thoughts have been exposed, can you leave? I'm going to sleep."

"I will sleep here tonight. If you can't hold it back, isn't it also a gamble?"

"Hey, just wait and go to sleep!"

Li Ji turned over and lay down, covering his head with a quilt, ready to sleep peacefully.

Yuxu was a little unhappy when he saw Li Ji lying down so quickly. He lay down gloomily and turned over, but still couldn't fall asleep.

"Hey, Li Yan, can you talk to me for a few more words? I, I can't sleep..."

When Li Ji heard this, his head felt heavy. He rolled his eyes helplessly, sighed and said, "You can talk about it, as long as it's a normal topic..."

"Is it cold in winter in your hometown?"

"Um?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and with some surprise, he stretched his head out of the quilt and looked at the bed.

"It's cold. I still remember that it was so cold that everything froze. In order to save money for my brother to study, my family didn't even want to burn some firewood for warmth. I could only wrap myself in a moldy quilt, hoping to feel better.

.Except for feeling a little warmth from the fire every day when cooking, I don’t know what warmth feels like anymore.”

"What happened next?"

"Later? I don't know. I left later. My third uncle took me away from that mountain village. I was less than ten years old at that time."

"No wonder."

"Huh? What's the wonder?"

"At such a young age, he is so cunning and well versed in human nature."

"this......"

"So have you met your family yet?"

"No."

"No?"

"No, really, I haven't seen them again. After so many years, they may be gone. I still remember that when my third uncle gave them money, they should have moved away long ago. They are no longer in that poor and desolate place.

Living in a place where food cannot be produced every year.”

"Really? Do you...hate them? Your parents?"

"Maybe, I can't explain this clearly. I once went back to that mountain village, and they were long gone. I have never seen any familiar people. Even the appearance of the village has changed dramatically. I

It’s unrecognizable.”

"Yeah?"

"You know what? My childhood dream."

"Um."

"Actually, it's very simple, just make a lot of money."

"Why?"

"At that time, there was a very wealthy family in the village next to us. People in several villages near us were their tenants. Not only that, their family also produced several officials, all of whom had passed the exam. That one

At that time, several of our villages were very envious of him, which is why my brother wanted to study so much and then take the exam to gain fame."

"But there was a shortage of money at the time... Money is very important. Without money, you can't eat, live in a house, get married, raise children, and still be looked down upon..."

"Oh......"

"Thinking about it now, they actually have their own difficulties, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a choice back then, right?"

Yuxu was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "What about you? Have you never thought about becoming an official?"

Hearing this, Li Ji smiled and said: "Of course not, you know? Although their family is rich and powerful, not all of them are good things. Their parents and grandchildren are complete dandy disciples. That would have made things worse back then.

I’m envious of that.”

"Um???"

"Oh, you don't know. At that time, I was thinking that if I had so much money, I would also be such a dandy and a bad boy, a bad gentry, and a rich man. When I have nothing to do every day,

Just lead a vicious dog and a bunch of villains to the streets, tease and tease the young and beautiful women on the street, and take the women you like home to be your concubines..."

"You bully the market, fellow fishermen, you are so shameless!" Yuxu couldn't help but laugh out loud, laughed at Li Ji's dream.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you understand this is called a dream? I haven't realized it until now, okay..." Li Ji said angrily, laughing as he spoke.

"Haha, this is really a surprise to the Nu family. I didn't expect that Junior Brother, you may look well-dressed, but in reality you are worse than a beast..."

"Don't just blame people casually, okay? These are all my ideas and I have never actually done it, okay? Besides, I don't necessarily think I will do it!"

"Hmph! Today you have such evil thoughts, who can guarantee that you will not do this in the future? With your talent, no one can say whether you will become a powerful person in the future." As he spoke, Yu

Xu paused for a moment, thought of something, and said: "Thinking about it this way, I think I need to stop your evil deeds."

"..." Li Ji was speechless and looked at Yu Xu speechless.

How she stopped Li Ji was nothing more than the method she said, taking a gamble.

"Hey, boring, sleep!"

Li Ji covered his head and ignored Yuxu, and seemed to have really fallen asleep.

But after Li Ji covered his head, his eyes were shining, and his mind was filled with thoughts, thinking about today's events.

Li Ji felt more and more something was wrong about this matter, so he quickly made up a lie when Yu Xu asked, and when Yu Xu asked, he deliberately brought the topic to

Regarding his childhood, he told three parts truth and seven parts lies. Regardless of whether Yuxu believed it or not, he said it first.

Judging from Yuxu's words and deeds tonight, Li Ji's suspicion of her had been reduced, but suddenly Li Ji remembered something very, very suspicious, and that was Yuxu's title.

If she was pretending before, then after everything was clarified, why she still called herself "Slave" is intriguing.

Unless...she has always called herself that. Did Yuxu call herself that? Li Ji had never heard of it, so was this woman Yuxu? Most likely not.

Li Ji smiled. At this moment, he also wanted to understand a lot. Why Wanhualou didn't pursue the tragedy that happened on that street? It almost gave away Wanhualou's secret base for testing the elixir. They didn't have any idea at all.

There were no signs of investigation, but he took the initiative to suppress the matter. This is very unusual.

And in just a few hours, after Li Ji returned, Yuxu changed directly into a different person. This change was too big. Among them, the best explanation is that he really changed into a different person.

But, how did they become exactly the same as Yuxu? No matter their appearance, height, or even walking movements, they are very similar. How many secrets are hidden in Wanhua Tower?

No wonder Wanhua Tower is also called Tantric Buddhism. This is not without reason.

...

On the second day, when Li Ji woke up, Yuxu's figure was long gone, and the bed was in a mess. I guess she didn't tidy it up when she left.

Li Ji chuckled lightly, not caring about this. He cleared the floor and made the bed, then sat on the chair and looked at the sun slowly climbing up outside the door.

It was another good weather, but Li Ji was not in a good mood. He just practiced for a while and then went out. He did not go to practice, but went straight out of Wanhua Tower and headed towards Jijing City.
