I Have a Date with Fox Demon - C57

“What are you trying to say?”

The night after we arrived in Xiangxi, Brother Xiang asked me out. Both of us looked at each other speechlessly, unable to bear the silent atmosphere.

Brother Xiang said: “You’ve already gotten the Map of Mountains And Rivers, right?”

“Right.”

“The Tianque Sword is also in your hands?” Brother Xiang brewed for a while before he said, “After all, that is senior brother’s …”

I bitterly smiled. “In the end, you still won’t believe me.” I really did not harm Zhuo Yi’s life. Tianque Sword is a witness to my promise to Zhuo Yi, I cannot return it, if you really want to wait for me to finish my mission then that will be it. ”

The brother who can lean his back against me has an indescribable bitterness in his heart. I’ve said what I needed to say, and if he wants to treat me as his enemy, I can’t do anything about it.

He stood up and was about to leave his seat, when he heard Brother Xiang’s voice. “Although I trust you, it doesn’t mean that Ren Tianci will trust you.”

“It’s enough if you believe me.” I smiled and said, “One day, he will believe me. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

Brother Xiang nodded and walked out of the coffee shop to exhale the foul air. His nervousness had turned into relief after hearing Brother Xiang’s last words.

I took out my phone and looked at Cripple Leg’s phone number. After a long time, I still did not make up my mind to call him.

While he was hesitating, the phone suddenly rang. Manager Yang’s deep voice came from the other side: “Fengjiao, where are you?”

“Just came back. “What’s wrong?” I picked up the phone.

“That’s good. I have something I need to talk to you about. Are you free right now?” Supervisor Yang said.

Nodding, Chief Yang gave me an address and I hurried towards it.

When I opened the door, Manager Yang was happily soaking in the wooden basin. I smiled and said, “Such a comfortable day.”

Director Yang saw me come in, pursed his lips, closed the door, and sat down.

Supervisor Yang looked at me and sighed: “Fengjiao, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been out of work these past few days.”

“Absent from work?” I said doubtfully, “How is that possible?” “I’ve already applied for leave with the shop, and both of them have already reported it.”

“Is that so?” Supervisor Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at me. ” Just this month alone, you have been out of work for half a month, and you know that Feng Ann Hall is a nationwide chain of medicine stores, so in the future, you will have to develop your career all over the world, and you and Zhao Leejun that brat have been working with me since the beginning, and I have high hopes for you two, now that Leejun has become the shop manager, and you are still hanging around the basic level, look at Zhang Xiao Yu, he has been here so long than you, but the boss is already working so hard, the boss wants to let you take over this family. ”

“I know.” He stood up and said, “I’m making it difficult for you. I’ll resign.”

“You … “Brat, what are you saying?” Director Yang stiffened for a moment, “I didn’t say I would chase you away.”

“It wasn’t you who drove me away, it was someone who wanted me to leave. Uncle Yang, you are both my teacher and my friend. Don’t worry, I won’t make it difficult for you!” I grinned.

How could I not understand the other meaning behind Uncle Yang’s words? I guess Uncle Yang has helped me block this half a month of ‘truancy’, so the pressure I have to bear can be imagined. Even if I sincerely apologize and stay, but … He smiled bitterly in his heart, the matter with the Map of Mountains And Rivers, the Zhuo Family, Cripple Leg, one thing after another, the matter of expelling me was something that would happen sooner or later.

Instead of this, he might as well just walk away honestly.

Chief Yang looked to the side and didn’t say anything more.

“Uncle Yang, when I have time I’ll come and see you.” I laughed as I walked out.

Walking out of the room, he couldn’t keep up his fake smile any longer.

Losing my job meant I had no income. How could I survive in this “gold dime” city? If I went home, my father would arrange a job for me in the tractor factory, but I had no interest in tractors at all. The nine to five life was not what I wanted.

Sigh, I’ll just take it a step at a time. After settling everything, it’s still better to go back home and get an iron rice bowl than home.

When I got back to the rented room, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep. The next day, I got up in a hurry and realized that I had lost my job.

After sitting on the bed mulling over it for a long time, he dialed Cripple Leg’s number.

“You got it?” Cripple Leg’s voice sounded.

“Meet me and make a deal,” I said.

Cripple Leg promised as he packed his stuff and walked towards Olin Park.

“What do I want?”

It was still the same pavilion in the middle of the lake. After waiting for a long time, I finally heard Cripple Leg’s voice.

He still looked like a beggar.

I took out the half of the Map of Mountains And Rivers that I obtained from the tomb, Cripple Leg extended his hand out to snatch it, avoiding it: “Where’s Hu Qian?”

Cripple Leg sneered: “I didn’t get all of the Map of Mountains And Rivers.”

“I have to see Hu Qian.” I frowned.

“What qualifications does the current you have to negotiate with me?” Cripple Leg laughed coldly, “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my words.”

“Your reputation has never been good, and you’ve done quite a bit of work. I’m not an idiot, how can I trust you?”

“You’re playing with me.” Cripple Leg squinted his eyes, and looked around me like a venomous snake.

“Yes.” He trembled as he said, “You have to consider this carefully. Right now, I have two Map of Mountains And Rivers. If you kill me, you will never know the whereabouts of the other one.”

Cripple Leg closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and said: “Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll make another deal with you.”

“What kind of deal?” I said.

“I’ll trade that fox’s life for your half map.”

“I want to see Hu Qian safe and sound.” I narrowed my eyes.

“Hmph.” Cripple Leg coldly snorted as he turned around and said, “Follow me.”

Without hesitation, I followed Cripple Leg over.

They followed Cripple Leg to the mountain area behind the park. There was no one around.

Cripple Leg waved his hand and a hole actually appeared in the dense forest at the mountainside. Cripple Leg then walked towards the hole.

The interior of the cave was only a few dozen meters long. At the far end of the cave, there was a large white bed, and a woman was lying on it! Who else could it be other than Hu Qian?

“Hu Qian.” Seeing her figure, Hu Qian immediately rushed towards her with her eyes tightly shut, like a sleeping beauty.

“Since I’ve promised you, I will definitely do it. Now, you can trust me.” Cripple Leg’s voice came from behind.

Touching Hu Qian’s face and feeling her heartbeat, her heart calmed down a lot.

Hu Qian’s eyelids twitched, followed by her eyes slowly opening, gradually becoming brighter.

“Feng, where am I?” Hu Qian’s voice came over.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” I cried with joy.

“How is it? Is this sincerity enough? ” Cripple Leg’s voice sounded.

Hu Qian raised her eyebrows when she heard this voice, and anger surfaced on her face as she looked at Cripple Leg.

“Little fox, don’t look at me like that. Have you been having a good dream?” Cripple Leg laughed.

I pulled Hu Qian, suppressed her anger, and turned to throw the Map of Mountains And Rivers over to Cripple Leg.

Cripple Leg reached out and grabbed it, opening the half scroll filled with Map of Mountains And Rivers s. Even his hands began to tremble slightly.

“Let’s go.” He spoke to Hu Qian.

Hu Qian looked at me and nodded. I clenched my fists and moved towards the cave entrance.

“You don’t want to make any more deals?” Cripple Leg toyed with the Map of Mountains And Rivers and looked at me.

This smile immediately caused my heart to sink to the bottom of the chasm. I turned my head to see that Hu Qian, whom I was pulling, had actually turned into a branch and turned to look at Cripple Leg.

When I regained my senses, I was still at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, drenched in sweat, gasping for breath as I looked at Cripple Leg who was looking down from above.

Cripple Leg played with the other half of the Map of Mountains And Rivers in his hand as he looked at me with a playful expression.

“You’re f * cking messing with me.” She was enraged, her right fist emitting black Qi as she grabbed onto Cripple Leg’s neck.

“Do you still want to make a deal with me?” Cripple Leg looked at me with an expression as if he expected me to agree.

I was infuriated by his expression. I flung his body onto the stone pillar. This old grandson really thought that I was afraid of him. At worst, I would just die.

I exerted the power of the immortal bone to its limits.

“Hu …”

“You have to think this through.” The instant Cripple Leg called out to Master Hu, the moment I invited him onto the upper half of his body, he brought out a stack of photos in his hands. It was my parents.

My body stopped, and all the demonic qi instantly dissipated.

“You …” He clenched his fists but didn’t know where to go.

“You have to make this deal.” Cripple Leg sneered, “Three lives are in your hands. I only want the remaining half of the Map of Mountains And Rivers. Once this item has been obtained, the original object will be returned. ”

The wind in the lake was very cold. As it brushed against his body, his entire being was sealed in ice. He raised his head to look at Cripple Leg, and coldly said: “Kill us all.”

Cripple Leg’s smile stiffened as he said: “Young people, don’t be so impulsive, think carefully.”

His heart was like dying embers as he did not say another word.

“Think carefully about it.” Cripple Leg turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

“Wait a moment.” I cried.

Cripple Leg acted as if he was the victor and turned his head. “I will give you some time to think things over, you don’t have to be so anxious to give me an answer.”

“Don’t force me to die trying!” I narrowed my eyes and said, “You used my hand to secretly search for Map of Mountains And Rivers, which is enough to prove that the Guild Shadow Sect knows nothing about your intentions, and as far as I know, other people within the Guild Shadow Sect are also searching for Map of Mountains And Rivers. If I tell the Guild Shadow Sect this news, what would happen to them?”

Cripple Leg’s face turned cold: What do you mean?

“I don’t mean anything.” I said, “I also want to make a deal with you. The content of the deal is your life.”

Cripple Leg remained silent for a long time as though he was considering something. Just this moment of hesitation was sufficient to confirm my guess.

“Other than me, no one else knows the second half of the story. If you want to obtain Map of Mountains And Rivers, you have no other way other than cooperating with me.” I said coldly, “You can’t afford to lose.”

Cripple Leg was silent for a long time, before he extended a finger and said: “One person, of the three of you, you can only take one person away.”

“I want Hu Qian.” I said.

Cripple Leg turned around and left, and his voice sounded, “You’ll see her when you get home.”

After Cripple Leg left, he sat down on the stone chair, his entire body’s strength seemed to have been drained, making this decision was something that I thought through, even if I have to fight Hu Qian in the future, I am still a good helper.
