"Don't be nervous. This is not a coercion. I saved your life and covered up some unspeakable secrets for you. One life and one secret in exchange for a question and answer is a good deal for you, isn't it? I just want to know at this moment.

It's just one thing." Hou Qing's eyes were like the moonlight wrapped in the light of a lake, with soft light shining from the clear sky. He looked so pure, kind and true.

He spoke Mandarin, also known as "elegant language". This kind of language has a subtle demeanor in its words and a soothing drawl in its tone. The eloquence is mellow, clear, beautiful, and pleasant to the ear.

Overall, Hou Qing's innate elegance and refinement are simply more approachable than Chen Baiqi's innocent and handsome appearance.

This man is good at using his appearance to lower his defensiveness, if he wants to.

If Chen Bai hadn't known about his nature earlier, he would probably have thought that this person was a naturally upright boy, and thought that he "only wanted to know one thing" was a very good deal, and he might have answered every question he had.

.

After all, Chen Baiqi had lost too much blood, and her energy and spirit were much sluggish. She wanted to save some energy for herself if she could.

She leaned her back gently against the bright but cold stone pillar. Her hair, which had been neatly tied up high, was scattered. Her bloodless lips, wet and drooped eyebrows, and her body were stained with brown blood, making her look decadent.

And embarrassed.

She was silent, as if she was considering and weighing his conditions, but in fact she had other plans in her heart.

"You... saw it?"

She had listened to their conversation before and knew that her transformation from "Chen Rong" to "Chen Huanxian" was probably accidentally broken by Hou Qing, which gave her a headache and was at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, she estimated that it was dark at the time, and in order to avoid being discovered by Meng Changjun and the assassins, he would not get too close. Her appearance and body shape at the time would only give him a vague image, and she was confident that she

Always dressed in men's clothes and wearing thick winter clothes, he would not have thought at the first moment that she could transform from a woman to a man.

Hou Qing took in Chen Baiqi's expression and nodded.

"When the young man was next to Mr. Mengchang, he looked shorter and more immature, but he changed in the blink of an eye. His bones and muscles, face and hair seemed to be a completely different person. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been unbelievable for a moment.

.”

His gaze, full of inquiry and wonder, scanned various parts of Chen Baiqi's body along with his verbal description, like a sharp scalpel, trying to cut her skin and flesh and dissect her underlying texture.

Chen Baiqi had the illusion that she was being targeted by a perverted research maniac. She frowned, but without turning her eyes, she looked directly at Hou Qing and said sincerely: "Actually, I was..."

Hou Qing opened her mouth and smiled slowly, like the flawless water lilies blooming in the Jade Court of the Nine Heavens, charming the city and the country. The fine outline looked extremely soft, and even had a feeling of pampering in it.

Chen Baiqi suddenly felt cold for some reason, and the words in her mouth fell into her throat.

This smile is so penetrating that it becomes a demon.

Hou Qing said slowly and calmly: "When I was young, I traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books. I traveled to various countries. I was fortunate enough to read many ancient and modern treasures. I also became familiar with hundreds of thousands of medicines and poisons. If the young man wants to

They said it was caused by being poisoned or taking some medicine..." He frowned as if in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to convince Yu."

Chen Baiqi’s eyes widened: “…”

If she doesn't agree with her, he threatens and blocks her, and then she wants to continue chatting happily.

Hou Qing saw Chen Bai's frown staining his eyebrows and closed his mouth again. This stubborn but soft look like a wounded animal made his eyes move inexplicably.

There was a bit of frivolity in his beautiful face, and the smile on his lips seemed to gradually deepen and become gentle as he recalled something.

"Chen Huanxian, I once met a person. She possesses magical power and can imitate other people at will. No matter her face or body, she is flawless. She is not like a disguise, but she is like a completely different person..." At this point, he

His smile was one part sad and one part mocking, and his eyes were cast on Chen Baiqi's face, low and indescribable: "From this point of view, your change is similar to hers.

"

After all, they all appear suddenly and contrary to common sense.

At the moment when he saw her transformation, it was undeniable that Hou Qing felt that his heart, which had been silent for a long time, beat uncontrollably a few times.

He always has a hope that the person in front of him can have some relationship with "that person".

It was difficult for Chen Baiqi not to tremble under such serious and strange eyes, although before that, she spread her noodles first.

Who can tell her that she is actually hallucinating, she always feels that Hou Qing seems to associate her with "Chen Jiao Niang" who has already raised her body.

Just because she used the system to reward "mutilated masks" to turn into someone else to deal with him before, he was still worried about this matter. Even now, seeing similar things, he can't stop his desire for revenge and kill them all in one fell swoop?

Although such legendary things are rarely heard in the world, there are always a few things that are difficult to study.

With him being so "unusual and strange", she would be easily frightened.

"Then...who is that person?" Chen Baiqi raised his eyes and glanced at him, then quickly lowered his eyes.

This is not a guilty conscience on her part, but a necessary act of self-protection.

When Hou Qing heard this, he narrowed his eyelashes, and his half-opened and half-closed pupils seemed to have something depriving his eyes of light, causing them to lose their luster and appear as deep as the sea.

The smile at the corner of his mouth was blown cold by the night wind at some point, and turned into a chasm and became cold and hard.

"This has nothing to do with so-and-so's problem."

System: The queen's anger towards you is worth 40.

System: Warning, Hou Qing's anger value has reached 40, please pay attention to the other party's emotions.

Why?

It was the first time that Chen Baiqi heard such a warning from the system, and he couldn't help but asked unconvinced: What will happen if I don't take care of him?

System: Hou Qing is a high-risk person identified by the system. If his anger value reaches 60, he will become completely black and the character will face a hell mode-like survival crisis at any time.

Chen Baiqi:......

Chen Bai and Hou Qing almost turned dark as soon as they heard her mention "Chen Jiaoniang". He probably still felt resentful because she had ruined his plans in Pingling County in the early years, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Actually... I don't know what happened to me. I once faced life and death. After I woke up, my body didn't feel strange for a long time. But by chance, after Yuelu Houshan was seriously injured, I discovered that

This strange change has occurred." She looked at him and explained in a very sincere and honest manner.

There is currently a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, so let’s lower the anger value first.

Hou Qing stared into her eyes for a long time. Such an innocent and genuine look made him feel dazed for a moment, but there was an extremely sober calmness in his eyes.

He knew that she did not lie to him this time.

However, just because she didn't lie doesn't mean that she didn't hide something from him.

She revealed to him several important plots, including "life and death", "accidental" and "serious injury", which led to this "strange change".

As for these, he actually made inferences in his mind when she and Meng Changjun fell in a pool of blood with unknown life and death.

So her words only confirmed what he knew from her mouth, but there was nothing more.

"Oh." He was noncommittal, but he no longer persisted in asking. He smiled faintly, turned around and left.

Clean and tidy.

Completely subverted Chen Baiqi's idea.

What's the meaning?

Believe it? Or not?

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Baiqi looked around. Only the altar was bright. The world farther away was pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers. It was a strange winter night, quiet and eerie. He could hear the cold howling of the wind, and the stone pillars stood as tall as

The will-o'-the-wisp was heavy, she pursed her lips, then lightly pressed the wound on her abdomen, and quickly followed his back.

She walked behind him, neither close nor far away, with her head lowered, wondering what she was thinking.

Hou Qing stopped, and Chen Baiqi also stopped slowly.

"You won't run away?"

His voice sounded above her head.

Chen Baiqi raised his head, and saw that the young man had a face in the night, with clear and pretty features, but because his lips were too white, he looked a bit sickly.

She asked confusedly: "Where to escape?"

Hou Qing looked at her with indifferent eyes.

Her round, dark eyes looked so innocent and pure, looking at the whole world, as if she couldn't see any dirty things or dangers.

He looked at her, and Chen Baiqi also looked at him.

Hou Qing's eyes are so perfect that they are neither simple nor evil. They are full of life experiences, emotions and the universe that make people unable to pursue them again.

At this time, when he stared at Chen Baiqi quietly, his eyes revealed a sad and kind expression on his face.

Chen Baiqi didn't know what he was thinking about her, but she felt that she was being pitied inexplicably.

Just listen to him slowly say: "If you continue to stay here, people in the alleys of Beiwai will know about your relationship with Mr. Mengchang..."

This is indeed Beiwai Alley.

After Chen Baiqi confirmed it from his mouth, he only hesitated for a moment and then subconsciously said: "Can I stay with you temporarily?"

Hou Qing raised her long eyebrows and said strangely: "Do you want... to stay with so-and-so?"

In no mood.

Chen Baiqi complained honestly in his heart.

But there was nothing she could do.

She nodded with difficulty.
