Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 311: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (38)

Shi Qi wanted to pretend nothing happened, so he closed the door and walked into the yard.

There was a rustling sound of leaves in the yard. Shi Qi took a step forward and hid the shaking bracelet into his sleeve.

The wind stopped soon, and just when she thought everything was fine, a sound suddenly came from the courtyard wall.

"Good evening, young lady~"

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a black figure squatting casually on the wall. In the moonlight, I could vaguely see a blurry face.

Shi Qi: The identification is complete, it’s very oily and greasy.

"It's not good to see you." Shi Qi said lightly, not even bothering to look at him again.

Sui raised his eyebrows and smiled. He became interested and jumped down, landing steadily: "Oh? Could it be that the young lady has seen me?"

Shi Qi turned around and said, "It's not a good idea for anyone to encounter a thief who breaks into a private house."

This time, I could see the man's appearance clearly.

The pact she made with Xiang Ling wasn't made in vain. After such a long time, she could still tell the difference between a human and a demon.

The person in front of me...oh no, this fox demon.

The aura is very similar to that of her child, so they are definitely not of the same species. It seems... he is the master of the fox demon case last time?

He is the mastermind behind the plot, who is stealing people's hearts and bringing disaster to the people of the dynasty!

She was just worried that she couldn't catch him, but he showed up at her doorstep. But tonight... wasn't a good time.

With her current abilities, it's a bit tricky to deal with.

At least I saw his disgusting appearance.

"Hahaha, Lord Shi is really interesting. It's worth my night visit." Sui laughed softly, thinking that the bald woman in front of him was quite interesting.

"Now that you've finished your visit, let's go back. I'm going to bed." Shi Qi felt uncomfortable when he heard his voice, so he didn't want to say more and walked towards the inner room.

Unexpectedly, the monster suddenly stood in front of him.

Sui wanted to look at Shi Qi's wrist, but she blocked it just right.

"Master Shi, I'm not a thief. I just returned to Beijing a few days ago and was busy performing rituals in the palace, so I didn't come to visit you. I will be leaving Beijing the day after tomorrow. Please don't be offended by my sudden visit tonight." Sui said, trying to hold Shi Qi's hand, but Shi Qi dodged sideways.

Shi Qi felt something was wrong when he heard about the ritual. Could it be that... this monster is the fairy Yi?

"I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm a young Taoist priest hired by the Prime Minister to perform some rituals in the palace to bless the people. Everyone calls me Taoist Priest Xianyi. Your Excellency... you should have heard of me." When Sui saw Shi Qi avoiding him, his eyes turned cold, but he returned to normal after a moment and explained with a smile.

Shi Qi's mouth twitched, lamenting the impermanence of life.

A Taoist priest in fairy clothes, and an immortal master in Xiang Ling...well, you probably couldn't imagine that these two Taoist priests are monsters.

She seemed to know why Xiang Ling entered the palace.

Since you've said this much, I'd be sorry if I didn't treat you to a cup of tea.

Shi Qi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and the corners of his mouth rose: "So it's Taoist Xianyi. I am a humble minister, I hope you will forgive me for my poor eyesight. I have some sweet-scented osmanthus tea, if you don't mind, you may stay and have a seat, I am quite interested in Taoism."

Sui saw Shi Qi leaning over and felt a little proud: "Since you are interested in Taoism, why not chat more about it." He could take the opportunity to take a look at the contract in her hand to see what level it was now.

Shi Qi saw through his thoughts, but did not show it on his face. He quietly stroked his wrist, put away the bracelet on his right hand, and covered the talisman with Yin-Yang powder.

There are five levels of fox clan bonds, and the brighter the red sand becomes, the deeper the bond.

Shi Qi is now a mortal being, and doesn't know what level of relationship Xiang Ling has with her, but it's better to keep it secret. After all, sometimes, relationships are weaknesses.

She didn't want to hold the child back.

This Yin-Yang powder can cover up the demon talisman and demon contract.

Since sitting down, Sui has been staring at her wrist from time to time: "Hey, my Lord is really good at making osmanthus tea."

Shi Qi took the teapot, deliberately let his sleeves slide down to cover his arms, poured tea into the cup, and said in panic: "Oops, my sleeves are covering the tea, Taoist priest, please help me roll it up."

When Sui heard this, he understood what was meant. He quickly stood up and couldn't wait to hold Shi Qi's wrist. He rolled up his wide sleeves and looked at Shi Qi's wrist.

There is no such talisman! ?

How can it be?

He clearly sensed it that day.

Could it be that... Xiang Ling did it on purpose for him to see, and he didn't recognize the new master at all?

No way, it must be on the other hand.

"I think the other side is in the way, so why not roll it up for you as well?" Sui directly reached out to look at Shi Qi's other hand.

Still haven't seen the results I wanted.

Shi Qi looked at the demon in front of him with a sense of loss, knowing that the Yin Yang Powder had worked, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "What is the Taoist doing? Can a cultivator touch a woman at will?"

Sui was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: “No…no.”

It was while he was distracted that Shi Qi quietly poured the powder from his sleeves into the other person's teacup.

Sui came back to his senses, quickly sat back down, picked up the teacup, and changed the subject: "Your cooking skills are really good, I can already smell the fragrance of tea."

"Please come in, Taoist priest." Shi Qi also picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Sui drank his tea absent-mindedly.

Since he didn't see what he wanted to see, he didn't bother with Shi Qi anymore.

However... this woman is different from ordinary women and is quite interesting. After he finishes his job, it would be nice to keep her as a plaything.

Thinking of this, he finished his tea and put down the cup, pretending to be unsatisfied, and said regretfully: "I have finished this tea, it is good tea, but it is getting late, so I will not disturb you anymore."

Shi Qi smiled and stood up: "Master, don't you want to talk about Taoism and cultivating immortals?"

"Maybe some other time, haha."

"Then I won't see you off, Taoist priest. We can talk another day." Shi Qi nodded slightly.

"it is good."

After Sui climbed over the wall and left again, Shi Qi couldn't help laughing.

“Hahahaha, he’s just pretending. It’s really unlucky to watch him. Now that we can’t catch him, it’s enough to make him suffer for a while.”

Baldhead's head felt cold, and he asked curiously: "Host, what kind of powder did you put in his teacup just now?"

Shi Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "It's just a laxative specially made by me. The effect is a bit slow, but the strength and duration... are enough to make him lose half his life."

"Isn't he going to the border with Xiang Ling? I just happened to be helping Xiang Ling."

Tu Tu was stunned, hesitant to speak: "Is that so? Can you give me some?"

Shi Qi: "What do you want that for?"

The bald round face turned red, and his eyes avoided: "Well...well, I want to try it."

Shi Qi: "No, you can't take this medicine carelessly."

The bald little face froze, and he said in a muffled voice: "I...haven't been able to vent recently."

Shi Qi: "..."

I seem to understand.

……

It was snowing heavily this morning and the wind was bitingly cold.

It was also the day when Xiang Ling was leaving Beijing for Xinjiang.

Seeing the carriage leave, even though he was reluctant, Shi Qi just watched it for a while longer.

He had explained what he needed to explain. The border was cold and dangerous. Even if he was a demon, he couldn't easily reveal his identity. He would definitely endure this hardship.

When we met again...both the child and she must have changed.

I'm still a little worried, after all, Sui... is almost nine-tailed.

If an accident really happens and a fight breaks out, the child will suffer a great loss.

A cold wind blew, and large flakes of snow fell on Shi Qi's cheeks, interrupting her thoughts.

Shi Qi finally withdrew his gaze until the carriage disappeared from view. He took out the bracelet given by the child and put it on his wrist carefully.

She remembered the last words Xiang Ling said to her before he left.

He said: "Shiqi, when I come back, I will tell you everything about me."

Shi Qi whispered to himself: "May everything go well for you and you return safely."
