Chapter 61 The late emperor’s edict
The second year of the Xuanlong Dynasty.

On the first day of February, spring comes and flowers bloom, and the ice and snow melt.

The abandoned house in the bamboo forest disappeared.

Instead.

It was a simple wooden house with a bamboo fence and a simple yard. A young man in his early twenties wearing a black robe was chopping wood.

"Well……"

In the room, the green bird groaned.

She woke up.

The memory still lingers on the time when we were on the ship.

Not a clue.

Three months have passed.

"I'm still alive?" She got up and saw a figure in a black robe working in the yard.

"Senior, is it you?"

Her eyes were filled with excitement.

This powerful second-grade cultivator finally rescued her.

soon.

She was disappointed.

"You're awake."

"It's much later than expected."

Su Chen raised his eyes and revealed his face.

It turned out that he was not the second-rank eunuch who was practicing on the ship. Qingque looked at this man. He had a handsome face and was about twenty years old. Although he was also wearing a black robe, he was far from having the stunning appearance of the second-rank senior.

Moreover, his aura was ordinary.

"You saved me?"

Qingque was just about to express his gratitude.

"My name is Xu Ge. Half a month ago, I fished you out of the lower reaches of the Nujiang River. It took me ten thousand-year-old ginseng whiskers to save you."

"As compensation, you will have to do all the rough work like chopping wood and fetching water. After a year, you can leave only if you want to."

Upon hearing this, Qingque's face turned dark.

Thousand-year-old ginseng?

Even she, a singer, has heard it.

This is the legendary treasure that can cause bloodshed and even the first-rank junior masters want to fight for it!
What a liar.

Qingque didn't believe that this shabby guy who had to chop firewood by himself could have a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Even if there is, it can't be used on her.

She is just a cheap singer.

It was just that the Nujiang River was dangerous and she was not prepared to survive, but she did survive, and she did owe this man a life.

"it is good."

"But if you keep me around, you might get into trouble."

Qingque agreed.

subconsciously.

I thought of Marquis Jiangling.

He is a very noble and powerful person in Jinjiang. If he were to vent his anger on this little eunuch in black, I'm afraid he would be left with no trace.

"It doesn't matter."

"It's only a year anyway."

Hearing this, Qingque couldn't help but ask with anticipation.

"Master Xu, are you a strong man?"

"what?"

"Why do you ask."

Su Chen's eyes widened, and he subconsciously thought of the battle to destroy Liang, the immortal treasure hovering in the ten thousand meter sky, and the terrifying immortal whale that froze the world...

In front of such existence, a first-class cultivator is like an ant, and even a master can hardly survive.

What a strong man he is.

"No."

"I'm just an ordinary eunuch."

Su Chen, the best in the world, shook his head from the bottom of his heart.

In front of the fairy whale.

Isn't he just an ordinary eunuch?

"Can you practice?"

"meeting."

"But only a little."

Su Chen made a little gesture.

"Is there a fifth rank? Oh, forget it... I don't think so. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be black and look so shabby. I'm afraid he was kicked out of the palace..."

Looking at the leaky thatched cottage and the simple bamboo and wooden fence, Qingque was completely disappointed.

She sighed.

Although it was a little messy, she preferred this shabby and abject freedom to being a pampered canary in a cage.

She got busy.

Chop wood and fetch water.

As for cooking, Su Chen was busy.

It's approaching noon.

“Is this food?”

"Have you really been a black eunuch in the palace? If you cook like this, won't you be beaten to death by the nobles?..."

Qingque's body was trembling.

In the pot.

A mixture of wild grasses and a silver fish is still swimming around.

This fish soup is very delicious.

"It seems like there is something wrong."

"The fire isn't big enough."

"In the palace, all the eunuchs serve me. Apart from the emperor's descendants, no eunuch dares to bully me..."

It seems there is still not enough firewood.

The fish in the world of cultivation are resistant to high temperatures and cannot be cooked.

"go out."

"The kitchen is under my control, so don't come in."

Qingque pushed Su Chen out.

"The medicine is ready, remember to drink it."

Su Chen brought a bowl of medicine.

There's nothing inside.

It's just a simple boiled ginseng root in water.

Thousand-year-old ginseng root.

The fifth grade drank it.

The kind that can break the fourth level instantly.

"No." Qingque refused.

"If you don't want to drink, forget it!"

talking.

Su Chen was about to fall.

Gurgling.

There was a sound of swallowing saliva.

Turtle drink!
Give the turtle some water!

It's a turtle!

Why don’t you take Turtle with you when you run away?

It’s a miserable life for turtles.

I was very sad along the way. I could originally eat three monsters, but now I could only eat two.

The little turtle burst into tears.

Su Chen felt movement at his feet. He looked down and saw a little turtle covered in mud and dust, as if it had traveled a long way, pulling at his clothes.

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

At this time.

Su Chen finally remembered what he had forgotten.

like.

In the pharmacy, he also raised a small turtle, a great demon, a two-faced black turtle?
"Drink it, drink it."

"We knew you could come here by yourself."

"It's just a little slow."

"I've been waiting for so long."

Su Chen was the first to complain, and the little turtle lowered its head in shame.

So this is ah.

It turns out it was all Turtle's fault.

Gulu gulu!

The little turtle drank the medicine soup in big gulps, eating it along with the roots of the thousand-year-old ginseng king, and showed a satisfied look on his face.

This is much more delicious than the first-grade monster.

Eat more.

Maybe, we can defeat the big guy hiding in that river.

……

night.

Rain falls.

Slightly cold.

Qingque was sleeping on the floor, shivering from the cold, while Su Chen was sleeping soundly on the bed.

She still couldn't hold it back.

Approaching Su Chen.

in the corner.

The little turtle revealed its ferocious eyes and stared at the sneaky woman unkindly.

"perhaps."

“He is the second-rank cultivator on the ship.

"There must be a human skin mask..."

Qingque came closer and carefully felt around Su Chen's ears and jaw, trying to find any trace of the human skin mask.

No.

This is really his appearance.

Qingque became more and more disappointed.

At this time.

Su Chen woke up.

Or rather, he didn't sleep.

then.

Qingque was frightened and screamed, and she met a pair of cold eyes.

"What are you doing climbing into my bed, woman?"

"Men and women are not allowed to be intimate."

"do not know?"

Done.

Su Chen kicked her off the bed.

"Xu Ge, you!"

Qingque's nose was crooked with anger.

She, such a beautiful and elegant woman, climbed onto a man's bed and was kicked off. What kind of man is this?
Oh, eunuch, that's okay.

Su Chen ignored him.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

He took the straw cloak beside him and went outside. Even though it was pouring rain, it was still difficult to cover up the shouting and killing sounds that were getting closer and closer.

"catch him!"

"Princess Qi, he has a will in his hand!"

"Get it back!"

"We must take it back, otherwise, if His Majesty blames us, both you and I will be killed!"

There was a roar.

Even in the bamboo forest ten miles away, Su Chen could hear it clearly.

"Your Majesty, is this the crown prince who ascended the throne?"

"edict?"

"It seems that even if he sits on the throne, his foundation is not stable. Otherwise, it would not be like this. A decree can shake his position."

Su Chen didn't want to care.

however.

Please come here yourself.

The pursuit was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that the Princess of Qi was fleeing towards here.

"Senior who is living in seclusion ahead, please follow the agreement and save our lives!"

"The Queen of Qi's female musicians! Thank you so much."

In the bamboo forest, the daughter of King Qi shouted.

however.

Su Chen didn't know her at all.

This is a move to divert trouble away.

"kill!"

"Leave no one behind!"

The chasing party became anxious.

Su Chen’s eyes turned cold.
