Chapter 138 An Unexpected Passerby
Now that Jiang Luoning is gone, this table of good food will definitely not be finished, but Xu Ming is still sitting alone at the wine table, eating silently.
I sat there for an hour. It was late at night, when it was already very quiet, and then I got up and went upstairs.
As for the poor-tongued shopkeeper, she had gone to bed long ago and said she would let her own people handle it tomorrow. She couldn't bear it any longer.
Probably because he is older.
When Xu Ming arrived on the second floor, his steps were a little light and he didn't let himself walk heavily.
When he came to his room and opened the door, he was startled: "I'm going!"
In the room, he saw a purple figure standing by the window, with his hands behind his back, looking out and facing away from the door.
Doesn’t he and the landlady only have the keys to his room? How could someone appear here out of thin air? Could it be that someone came up from the street and came through the window by passing through the body?
That's not right. Why does this woman's back look a little familiar?
"You're finally here." The man still didn't turn around, seeming to be talking to himself.
Xu Ming suddenly realized: "It turns out to be you!"
The woman in front of me is none other than Luo Lulu's personal housekeeper, the purple-clothed woman with extremely high martial arts, who is so powerful that many people are afraid of her.
Xu Ming crossed the threshold and gently closed the door, frowning: "Luo Lulu hasn't left Stone Leopard City yet?"
"The lady has left. This time I am the only one left alone." This time, she finally turned around, still covering her face as before.
But those breathtaking eyes are still there.
Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. This little girl was still a bit difficult to deal with. If he had to take her around Stone Leopard City by then, she would be a little tired.
He planned to take a good rest in the past two days, because the previous failure to attack the Aperture Realm caused the sequelae to be more serious than he imagined.
"Failed?" I don't know if it was a coincidence, but as soon as Xu Ming thought of this, the woman in purple happened to ask about it.
Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses: "Have you seen everything?"
The woman in purple caressed her forehead: "Nonsense, otherwise why would I stay?"
"Remember what I told you before, as long as you agree to do something for me, I will give you a corresponding gift in return. Originally, I should just forget about it this time. It's a pity that you, little guy, are so lucky that there is such a woman willing to do it.
Help you."
At this point, she sighed: "So this time I can only owe you temporarily. I know that I owe you two favors."
"Two?" Xu Ming tilted his head, a little confused.
The woman in purple said solemnly: "One is promised to you by me, and the other is promised to you by the young lady. There are two in total. I plan to pay them back in one go. After all, in the future, Jianghu Yuanda will not necessarily have the chance to meet again."
"Don't talk so eloquently." Xu Ming said with a smile: "After all, it's just a small thing. There's no need to take it to heart. It's easy to do. I didn't take it to heart about the return gifts you mentioned at the beginning, so I don't need to take it seriously."
The woman in purple shook her head: "You can think so, but I can't, let alone the lady."
"Maybe this thing is a trivial matter to you, but to the lady, it is likely to be something that will be unforgettable in a lifetime."
Xu Ming's brows furrowed. No matter how he heard these words, he thought these words were very strange: "What on earth is wrong with her? Why..."
"There are some things that you don't need to know, and you won't know. You just need to know that I will pay you back what I owe you. I am here tonight to pay you back on behalf of the lady first, and then pay you what I promised you."
The woman in purple said coldly, as if this question had touched her bottom line.
Seeing this, Xu Ming didn't ask any more questions. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Senior said that. I guess he was ready to return the gift. Since he didn't hesitate to stop and give it to me, I am sure that if he doesn't give it, I will lose it.
Etiquette."
The woman in purple stretched out her hand, spread her fingers, and an elixir appeared out of thin air in her palm. There were not so many decorations, and there was nothing to hold it. It just lay naked in the palm of her hand.
This elixir is as big as half the palm of your hand. It is more like a pill than an elixir. You probably have to chew it in one bite before swallowing it.
Xu Ming twitched the corner of his mouth. He certainly felt that this elixir must not be simple. After all, Luo Lulu had a mysterious background and what he could get away with must be impressive.
The woman in purple who had never introduced herself said: "When I saw you forcefully break through the Aperture Realm and fail at that time, I knew that the other gift was no longer suitable for you. So I changed it temporarily.
This."
"Speaking of which, you are really crazy. Do you know that the acupuncture points of the human body are one of the important parts, and once they are damaged, they are almost difficult to repair?"
Xu Ming smiled awkwardly: "I really don't know this."
"No wonder, those who don't know are fearless. Do you feel like many places on your body are burning like fire, bit by bit, scattered in various parts?"
The woman in purple was stunned, and then asked.
Xu Ming, who was standing in front of her, was a little surprised: "Don't tell me, it's really like this. I can vaguely guess that this is a sequelae. Is this serious?"
The woman with beautiful eyes found a stool and sat down, "A bit. Your current situation should be that the acupoints are shrinking. Once they are truly closed, you will no longer have the possibility to open them."
"Why do many warriors spend their entire lives staying in the late stage of the Qi-nourishing realm? The reason is very simple. They failed too many times and finally lost all hope. If they want to go further, they can only polish their own realm. But eventually there will be a day when the limit is reached.
"
Xu Ming frowned: "Then this pill...ah, no, this panacea is useful to me now?"
"This elixir is called Fuling Dan. It has the effect of affecting the acupoints of the human body. It will be effective until it is actually closed. Originally, the gift I prepared was supposed to be another elixir to wish you success in acupuncture. But now it seems that you
It seems to be needed more.”
The woman in purple handed it over: "You don't need to do anything else after taking it. After you sleep, you will find that the burning sensation disappears. That's considered good."
At this point, she paused and looked out the window: "Actually, with our power, the so-called return gift shouldn't be so light. We can give something better."
"It's just that after thinking about it, I feel that the more precious the gift, the better. It just needs to be suitable for the moment."
Xu Ming gave a thumbs up: "That's right!"
"I also know that you don't care about these details, but I will repay the favor I owe you. As for when I will repay it, and how I will repay it, you don't have to worry about it. I believe you will not be disappointed in the end."
The woman in purple said seriously: "The most important thing now is that I want to tell you that you are done with the lady."
Xu Ming was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
Seeing that the matter was finished, the woman in purple breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I wish you can break through the Aperture Realm as soon as possible. Also, the girl today is very nice, and she seems to have a different feeling towards you."
Hearing this, Xu Ming's face turned red: "What is it called?"
The woman in purple clothes smiled half-heartedly: "Do you think she doesn't know about your condition? She is also someone who has passed this level."
After saying that, her figure disappeared out of thin air, leaving only an indescribable fragrance in the room.
Only the dazed Xu Ming was left standing there. He walked out the window and looked into the distance, but no matter how he looked, the purple figure had disappeared without a trace.
What does this woman mean by what she says?
Xu Ming was a little annoyed and snorted coldly, but he still swallowed the pill... pill in his hand.
I am not familiar with this person, but there is no enmity between the two parties, and I would not harm myself if I think about it.
His meager medical skills gave no clues, so it didn't matter.
Xu Ming was lying on the bed with a lot of thoughts, and he kept thinking about what the woman in purple said before leaving.
What does this mean?
Can Jiang Luoning see it?
Why didn't he see that she saw it?
Xu Ming turned over and said, "You're just talking nonsense. Sure enough, you still can't figure out a woman's thoughts. Otherwise, I would have been a lover."
"Well, that woman knows some mind-reading skills. I wonder if she can rely on personal feelings to study? You don't need to learn too much. You should be able to learn a little bit."
Xu Ming quickly shook his head, "It's so messy. Let's rest first. We have to play all day tomorrow."
