The sky over the rivers and lakes is very clear - Chapter 149
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"Well... although I tried to poison you, you didn't die, and you scared me all night, so we're even, okay?"
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"By the way, my mom said the poison in my body was extremely potent. How come you're alright?"
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"..."
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
"..."
Liu Yue smiled, speechless.
Zhu Huihui finally realized something was wrong! She was so talkative that she was almost driving herself crazy, but Brother Liu Yue just kept smiling and remaining silent.
Moreover, from the moment I was startled awake by him and fled, to the moment I decided to bite him and touch his face and chest, his "smiling, speechless" expression remained unchanged.
That quiet, gentle smile was the same as before, but something seemed different. Zhu Huihui stared at him for a long time before finally noticing the difference: his eyes!
Brother Liu Yue's eyes are very beautiful. However, in the past, his eyes were misty and hazy, like the misty rain of Jiangnan in March, soft and gentle. They were hazy and seemed both close and distant. But now, no matter how gentle and radiant his smile is, the emotion conveyed in his eyes is indeed a faint detachment. Now, his eyes are still beautiful, still seem to have countless peach blossoms blooming in them, but his gaze is no longer hazy. Instead, it has become clear and transparent, even with a hint of bewilderment, like the sky and the sea, pure to the extreme.
What happened?
"Brother Liu Yue, I'll ask you one last question: what exactly do you want to do by following me?"
Zhu Huihui looked at him expectantly, but after waiting for a long time, he still remained with the same unchanging "smile and silence"!
She sighed in despair and finally came to the conclusion: Brother Liu Yue was indeed not poisoned to death by her, but he was poisoned into a fool!
What puzzled her was how Liu Yue, who was so mentally challenged that he couldn't even speak, had managed to find her. And how could someone who was mentally challenged have such a vivid memory and unwavering determination? No matter what she did, he was always within three steps of her!
Good heavens! All she did was poison him, and he's already committed to her?
After several unsuccessful attempts to escape out of resentment, Zhu Huihui finally resigned himself to his fate. Well, if he wanted to stay, so be it! He could just treat it as raising another flower—and besides, Brother Liuyue ate very little, much easier to care for than a flower!
Zhu Huihui, Zhu Liuyue, and Zhu Huahua, the three "Zhu"s share steamed buns and steal chickens together, living a carefree life.
Zhu Huihui sighed as she turned the chickens on the branches and looked at Brother Liu Yue.
Liu Yue smiled and met her gaze—she wondered if there was any human thought behind those clear, unfathomable eyes.
The chicken's skin gradually turns dark brown, and a rich aroma wafts out, making one's mouth water.
Zhu Huihui immediately put aside the question about Liu Yue, picked up the chicken, divided it into three pieces, and was about to eat when she suddenly heard a loud shout: "This mountain is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!"
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, five burly men leaped out of the roadside woods, each taller and louder than the last, shouting in unison, "Robbery!"
Zhu Huihui was so happy she almost threw away the roast chicken. What an ignorant robber! Is there anyone in this world poorer than her?
Upon closer inspection, these people turned out to be the five big, dumb guys from the Five Heroes of Qiyun!
Last time at Qingfengya, I was beaten up by "colluding with each other" because I wanted to save them. Then I was driven away by my husband and wife. I left in anger and didn't know how they were doing. I never expected to run into them here.
She stood up, waved, and said warmly, "You five silly... cough, big brother, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
The Five Heroes of Qi Yun looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhu Huihui was annoyed. It turned out that these five idiots had bad memories and poor eyesight!
"Don't you recognize me?"
Five big heads shook in unison.
Zhu Huihui pinched her cheek, thinking that she hadn't changed much recently, so why couldn't they recognize her?
"Don't you remember? When you were captured by a 'colluding scoundrel' and a Taoist priest, a black man, and a lecher, and left outside to sunbathe, someone came to rescue you!"
Ten large bull eyes stared at her for a long time before one of them finally exclaimed in realization, "Oh, it's you!"
“Yes, yes! It’s her, it’s her!” another said.
“No, no, I remember it was a man that day, how come it’s a girl this time?” another person said.
"I guess it's... a woman disguised as a man!"
"Hehe, Fifth Brother is the smartest..."
The five people gathered together and started discussing it.
Zhu Huihui smiled and said, "Five great...great heroes, how did you end up robbing people on the road?"
The eldest brother said in a gruff voice, "We're going to Huanglong Island, and we want to rob you... to borrow some travel expenses!"
"Huanglong Island?" Zhu Huihui asked, "What kind of place is that? Is it fun?"
"You don't even know about Huanglong Island?" Despite being their saviors, the Five Heroes of Qiyun still put on a look of utter disdain.
Being looked down upon by the five big, dumb guys made Zhu Huihui very unhappy: "Who doesn't know? XX even knows about Black Dragon Island, White Dragon Island, Red Dragon Island, Five-Colored Dragon Island, Seven-Colored Dragon Island... You only know about Yellow Dragon Island? I'm just... testing you!"
The fifth man, the most astute of the five, was not fooled and laughed loudly, "You're bragging!"
"What bragging! That was a strategy! Yes, a strategy!" As Zhu Huihui said this, she felt a pang of sadness. "Bragging" was equivalent to "strategy," a term coined by the great hero when he favored Miss Mu.
