Chu Zhaozhao stood up and put away the bowls and chopsticks. Sanniang stood up at the same time, looking like she wanted to help Chu Zhaozhao clean up.
"Sister Sanniang, you can go and have a rest. I'll leave it to you here." Chu Zhaozhao said thoughtfully.
She heard from Chu Qingxiao that Sanniang had absorbed the soul of the dead in Luo Kuan's body before, and was in an extremely weak state, and she had just woken up.
She was afraid that Sanniang's body was still not fully recovered, so she was unwilling to make her suffer too hard.
Sanniang smiled and said: "It's okay, I am no longer the delicate body I used to be."
After saying that, he bent down and helped Chu Zhaozhao pack it up.
Seeing this, Chu Zhaozhao knew that persuasion was useless, so he smiled and let Sanniang go.
The two of them were cleaning up and chatting, but they didn't feel bored. From time to time they talked about some interesting things, and there were bursts of chuckles, as if they were back in the afternoon forest in Goshawk Village...
Soon, everything was tidied up, and everyone was sitting in the small courtyard chatting as usual.
"I'll make you a pot of tea." After Sanniang put away the dishes, she said to everyone, got up and walked towards the woodshed again.
She is very enthusiastic and considerate towards others, but does not make people feel that her consideration is inappropriate.
She is the kind of person who, as long as you spend a moment with her, will make people fall in love with her.
Although most of the people present knew the fact that Sanniang died, based on their trust in Chu Qingxiao, they all had a tacit understanding and did not ask any more questions.
It's just that compared to most of the people who came from extraordinary backgrounds, Sanniang, who was just an ordinary merchant girl, was rarely able to intervene in many topics discussed by the people. However, she did not feel embarrassed and just sat quietly aside, as if
Just listening to it was a very comfortable thing for her.
Soon the night was getting dark, everyone joked for a while and then got up to go back to their rooms to practice or rest.
Seeing this, Sanniang also stood up and put away the teacups everyone had drank from, preparing to take them aside for cleaning.
Chu Zhaozhao originally wanted to get up and help, but Sanniang said: "Zhaozhao, I can do it by myself, that's all, no need for two people."
Chu Zhaozhao glanced at the teacups held in Sanniang's hands and felt that this was the truth, so he nodded.
At this time, Ziyu walked up to Chu Zhaozhao, leaned in front of her, and stared at Sanniang's leaving back: "Let me tell you, don't you feel so scared in your heart..."
"We watched her die..."
"We helped bury the body."
Chu Zhaozhao frowned and looked at Ziyu with some displeasure: "Sister Sanniang is the kindest person I have ever seen. No matter what her situation is now, I believe in her."
"What's more, I also believe in Qingxiao."
Ziyu curled her lips and muttered: "You two have a deep love for each other as sisters..."
Chu Zhaozhao smiled and said: "Of course, when I first went to Cangying Village, I relied on Sister Sanniang to take care of me..."
Chu Zhaozhao said this and looked towards the direction where Sanniang was leaving. He saw that Sanniang had packed up the tea sets, then walked to Chu Qingxiao and walked side by side to Chu Qingxiao's residence.
The smile on Chu Zhaozhao's face instantly faded at that time. She looked there in astonishment. It wasn't until she saw Chu Qingxiao and Sanniang walking into the residence that she finally couldn't control the discomfort in her heart and couldn't care less about it.
Ziyu beside him walked over with a bit of anger in his steps.
Ziyu on the side looked at Chu Zhaozhao who turned his face at this moment, curled her lips again, and sighed: "It's really... a deep love between sisters..."
…
"Sister Sanniang, do you have something to tell me?" In the room, Chu Qingxiao looked at Sanniang and asked strangely.
After Sanniang got rid of Ma Yingjie's matter today, she signaled to Chu Qingxiao that she wanted to talk to him about something. However, because everyone was almost together at these times, the two of them had no time to be alone, and it was not convenient for Sanniang to talk, so after everyone dispersed
, Sanniang immediately found Chu Qingxiao.
"Since the last time I faced the Ghost Crow Village, I have been sleeping for more than twenty days. Qingxiao, why don't you have any spiritual power in your spiritual mansion?" Sanniang looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and immediately told Sanniang that after he absorbed the spiritual power, most of the spiritual power would be absorbed by Sanniang and the divine pillar where the evil lived.
Sanniang frowned when she heard this, but she quickly reacted: "No wonder when I was sleeping, I always felt a force injecting into my body from time to time, which made me wake up a lot earlier. Put it this way
It’s all thanks to you, Qingxiao.”
Chu Qingxiao scratched his head and said: "This is what I should do."
Sanniang looked a little more serious: "But it is not an option to continue like this. Your cultivation has stagnated, but you also have a valuable treasure. If anyone knows about it, you will definitely be in trouble."
"You have to find ways to improve your cultivation. Don't wait until the day something happens to regret your incompetence!"
Sanniang's words were a bit serious, but Chu Qingxiao understood that they were based on her own personal experience.
"But I can't think of any other way. These days, I swallow spiritual energy when I have time, but the two divine pillars in my body are like two bottomless pits, which cannot be filled at all. All the spiritual energy absorbed is swallowed up by them, and then passed to
There is not a single bit left in your and Jue’s body for me.”
Sanniang's brows furrowed a little tighter, and she said: "Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Qingxiao, you have now activated three divine pillars. In addition to me and the giant evil divine general, there is also a divine pillar."
If there is a suitable candidate in the future, he can be given the position of the divine pillar. If this continues, there will be masters among the three divine pillars, wouldn't it mean that your cultivation speed will be even doubled?
, and there’s no way to retain too much spiritual power!?”
Chu Qingxiao shook his head: "I don't know about this, but if the situation continues like this, I don't dare to look for candidates for the divine pillar, otherwise, let alone speeding up the practice, if I can't keep it all, I will fall..."
"Perhaps it's because the giant evil and I are both in deep sleep during this period, so we need your support. But now that I'm awake, I can also absorb spiritual power through the divine pillar. Maybe it can help you relieve some pressure."
Sanniang speculated.
Chu Qingxiao didn't have much hope for this, and just nodded.
"Qingxiao." At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
Chu Qingxiao did not doubt that he was there. He walked forward and opened the door. He saw Chu Zhaozhao outside the door holding a plate of fruits.
"Zhaozhao, what are you doing?" He looked at Chu Zhaozhao with some confusion and asked.
Facing his inquiry, Chu Zhaozhao seemed a little absent-minded.
"Ah? I brought you some food." She said casually, looking past Chu Qingxiao and looking behind Chu Qingxiao slightly nervously.
With just one glance, she saw Sanniang standing behind Chu Qingxiao.
Sanniang saw the tension between Chu Zhaozhao's brows and was slightly startled, then realized something.
At that time, Sanniang had a smile on her face and waved to Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao was obviously a little guilty. She quickly looked away and pretended to be surprised and said: "Sister Sanniang is here too."
"Yes." Sanniang stepped forward, either intentionally or unintentionally. She first took the fruit plate from Chu Zhaozhao's hand skillfully, then stood close to Chu Qingxiao, looking at Chu Zhaozhao with a smile:
"Zhaozhao is determined."
Seeing the two of them so close, Chu Zhaozhao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
She stood at the door, feeling quite embarrassed when she saw that the two of them seemed to have no intention of inviting her in. She was silent for a while and then said: "Where will Sister Sanniang sleep today? Do you want me to tidy up my room? Let's squeeze in for a while."
squeeze."
When Sanniang heard this, the smile on her lips became even bigger. She said, "I will live wherever Qingxiao lives. Sister Zhaozhao doesn't have to be so troublesome."
These words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Chu Zhaozhao. Chu Zhaozhao's body trembled. She looked at Chu Qingxiao in surprise, but saw that Chu Qingxiao's expression was as usual, and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Sanniang's words.
Could it be that I'm overthinking it?
She even couldn't help but wonder if she was too dirty. She looked at Chu Qingxiao's main room with a floor covering. The room was quite big. If there was another floor covering on the other side, it would be fine... right?
Chu Zhaozhao comforted herself by saying that she didn't want Sanniang and Chu Qingxiao to think that she was a petty person, not to mention that she shouldn't doubt them either.
She was doing some difficult mental construction for herself, and then she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said, "Then I'll go find a bed and bedding for my sister. Don't freeze her if it's cold."
"No, it's enough for me and Qingxiao to sleep together." Sanniang said.
Chu Zhaozhao's body trembled again. She could hardly stand still and almost fell down.
"You only have one quilt?" she asked in disbelief, looking straight at Chu Qingxiao, hoping to get some answers she wanted from him.
But Chu Qingxiao smiled bitterly: "We really only need one quilt, actually it's like this..."
He seemed to want to explain something, but Chu Zhaozhao obviously couldn't listen at this moment.
At this moment, she suddenly took a step, walked into the room, and then closed the door with a bang.
She had a solemn expression on her face, as if she had made an extremely important decision.
"Zhao Zhao?" Chu Qingxiao was startled by Chu Zhaozhao's sudden weird attitude and asked with some confusion.
"I will also stay here today." She turned her head and looked at Chu Qingxiao and said.
Chu Qingxiao blinked his eyes, and his face showed surprise the next moment.
"Is...isn't this bad?" he asked, looking a little nervous.
But such tension made Chu Zhaozhao quite annoyed. She looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked: "Sister Sanniang can live here, why can't I..."
"This..." Chu Qingxiao glanced sideways at Sanniang, then looked at Chu Zhaozhao, intent on explaining something.
But he caught a glimpse of the suppressed anger in Chu Zhaozhao's eyes, and he finally didn't have the courage to say anything.
"Then...then I'll make a floor bunk for you..." Chu Qingxiao said tentatively.
Chu Zhaozhao's eyebrows turned cold: "No! Just sleep here together!"
As she spoke, she walked to the floor first, put on her clothes and lay down in it.
"Um...are you sure?" Chu Qingxiao looked a little strange when he saw this.
In the past, although the two of them slept on the same bed in Gosying Village, they were separated by two quilts. But now, there is only one quilt on the floor, and even if they are wearing clothes, it is inevitable...
"Yeah." Chu Zhaozhao said, her cheeks turning red, but the thought of letting Chu Qingxiao and Sanniang live together made her unwilling, so she still answered bravely.
Even though Chu Qingxiao received a positive answer, he still stood there, looking slightly nervous.
But at this time, Sanniang behind her reached out and gently pushed Chu Qingxiao, and said with a smile: "Zhaozhao doesn't mind, Qingxiao, why are you shy?"
Chu Qingxiao's face suddenly turned red. He trembled and walked to the floor, opened the quilt, and got in.
In an instant, the girl's body fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, and Chu Zhaozhao felt extremely nervous and his body tensed.
"Then the three of us will sleep together."
Sanniang spoke softly at this time.
Chu Zhaozhao's heart tightened when he heard this, but he quickly squeezed into Chu Qingxiao's arms, leaving space on the other side of him.
This bunk was originally prepared for Chu Qingxiao alone, and it was already a little crowded for the two of them to sleep in. At this moment, a place was specially set aside for Chu Zhaozhao and Chu Qingxiao to be close to each other.
The strange feeling made Chu Zhaozhao's face turn extremely rosy, but in order to separate Sanniang and Chu Qingxiao, she still squeezed into Chu Qingxiao's arms.
When Sanniang saw this scene, her smile turned cunning. She narrowed her eyes and gave Chu Zhaozhao a playful look.
The next moment, her body turned into a stream of light and poured into Chu Qingxiao's body.
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned when she saw this. At this time, she seemed to realize. It turned out that what Sanniang said about sleeping together seemed to be different from what she understood.
At that moment, Chu Zhaozhao's face became increasingly crimson, and at this moment, Sanniang's voice came again.
"By the way, after entering the Divine Pillar, unless Qingxiao calls or he is in any danger, I will not be able to sense anything that happens outside."
"so……"
"My dear, whatever you want to do, just do it boldly."
