Chapter 455 The lion opens its mouth
"Female...female?"
Upon entering the cave and seeing Ji Qingyue's true appearance, Xiao Lingxi's mouth dropped open in shock. She angrily exclaimed, "How dare you, Zhao Mu, keep such a beautiful woman in your house? I'm going to tell Sister Yan."
"..."
Zhao Mu was speechless for a moment, then reached out and patted the thief on the head, "You idiot, take a good look and use your little brain to think about who this is."
"She's so beautiful, but I'm sure I'll be prettier than her when I grow up. But... who is she?"
After examining it carefully for a moment, Xiao Lingxi still had no clue.
"You're so stupid!"
Zhao Mu held his forehead with his hand. This little brat had been following him secretly all day long. Just because she didn't see Ji Qingyue changing her clothes, she couldn't guess who she was and even suspected that he had a mistress.
It is better to say that this little girl is inexperienced or has a low IQ.
"Wait, this can't be..."
Xiao Lingxi wasn't really stupid, she just hadn't considered it that way. Shocked, she said, "That young man in green turned out to be a woman. No wonder you were flirting with him on the ship. I thought you were..."
"What the hell, hold those last few words back."
Zhao Mu rolled his eyes, then pointed to a rock beside him and said, "Sit down first. She'll need a while to wake up."
"Try to be mean to me again, and I'll complain to Sister Yan right now."
Xiao Lingxi stiffened her neck and locked eyes with Zhao Mu, but the outcome was disastrous. After being strangled by the back of her neck, her arrogance instantly vanished. "Don't do it, if you want me to stop complaining, grill some more meat for me."
"..."
Zhao Mu rolled his eyes when he heard this. This little foodie is really hopeless.
After half an hour, after barely absorbing the effects of the healing pill, Ji Qingyue finally woke up.
I was a little surprised when I saw a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth appear in the cave.
"she is....."
Ji Qingyue glanced at Zhao Mu with a slightly inquiring look.
"My sister."
Zhao Mu didn't know how to introduce Xiao Lingxi for a moment. Calling her his sister wasn't wrong. After all, the Thief Saint and Old Man Qi were old friends, so it was normal for them to be like siblings.
But the thief was very dissatisfied with this statement and retorted: "No, I am this guy's wife-to-be."
"???"
Ji Qingyue had a strange look in his eyes.
slap~
Zhao Mu slapped the thief on the back of the head and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did you become my wife-to-be?"
"Of course not, you've treated me like that."
Xiao Lingxi showed a slightly shy expression as she took Zhao Mu's arm and said, "Besides, if it weren't for that accident, our child might have already been born."
"..."
Got it!
Zhao Mu finally understood that this little brat was doing it on purpose. She was clearly hostile to Ji Qingyue. No, she was hostile to all the pretty women who approached him. She was reminding Ji Qingyue: Hey, this is a married man, don't come near him.
It is unlikely that she did this for herself, she probably did it to help Yan Qingyue.
He didn't know what happened in the secret realm of Shenhuang Ridge that made this little thief so obedient to Yan Qingyue. He even felt that this little thief had reached the point of mindless worship of Yan Qingyue.
However, Ji Qingyue's eyes were very powerful, even no worse than the fairy and demon pupils of the rich girl. She could see through the fact that the little girl was a virgin and had a child at a glance. Who was she trying to fool?
Do you really think that everyone is like you, a naive little girl who doesn't know what the first step before giving birth is?
But Ji Qingyue obviously had no intention of exposing Xiao Lingxi and just smiled faintly.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Zhao Mu reached out and pinched Xiao Lingxi's lips, forcing her to whimper in dissatisfaction. He then turned his gaze to Ji Qingyue, "We're trapped on Chixia Island, but for now, this girl's movements are unrestricted. She can help us seek help from the Ji family."
"real!"
"Ok!"
After receiving a positive response, Ji Qingyue looked slightly happy. If she could really ask for help, then this matter would be easily resolved.
But at the same time, she realized another thing. Since the little girl in front of her, who was not two years younger than her, could leave Chixia Island, did it mean that Zhao Mu was actually able to come and go freely?
He had said before that the two of them were trapped on Chixia Island, probably because he didn't want to give up on her.
This guy is quite considerate of others' emotions.
Moreover, from this, it can be seen that his younger brother and he have a very close relationship. Otherwise, one of them would not take such a big risk to help him, and the other one would not whisper in his ear all day long about how good Zhao Mu is, and would even like to call him brother-in-law.
"But I must remind you of one thing. You only have one chance. You must choose someone you can absolutely trust. Otherwise, what might come to you is not reinforcements, but the scythe of the Grim Reaper."
Seeing Ji Qingyue's happy expression, Zhao Mu reminded her in a very serious tone.
Although she looks mature, she is still a girl who is not even 20 years old. Zhao Mu is worried that she is not steady enough in her dealings.
"Ah."
Ji Qingyue nodded, then took out a strangely shaped jade pendant from the Qiankun Ring and said, "Take it and go directly to see the ancestor Ji Wenhui."
"Can this ancestor Ji Wenhui be absolutely trusted?"
Zhao Mu asked again.
"Ah."
Ji Qingyue nodded and said, "I was raised by Grandma Ji Wenhui. If even she is untrustworthy, then there is no one in the entire Ji family who can be trusted."
In fact, the best choice is his younger brother Ji Xuan, because if he wants to see the ancestor, it may take some trouble, but Ji Xuan is different, it is easy to see him.
But unfortunately, he was thrown into the evil spirit pond by himself, and he might not come out yet.
"Run an errand for me, no problem, it'll definitely benefit you."
Zhao Mu looked at Xiao Lingxi and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I heard that there's a royal family of demon beasts in the Blackwater River basin called the Red Dragon, whose meat is delicate and delicious..."
"The royal family of demon beasts? Red dragon? Flood dragon?"
Zhao Mu's eyes widened in shock. "You little brat, you're really asking for such high prices! You even dare to offer such conditions! That's a Jiaolong, a royal family of monsters. If I were to hunt it with my limited strength, it's not certain who would eat whom. Do you want me to die?"
He had naturally heard of the deliciousness of the red dragon, but this was one of the overlords of the demon clan in the Black Water River Basin. Few people dared to provoke it. Even the Ji family did not dare to hunt the red dragon easily.
However, at this moment, Ji Qingyue beside him smiled faintly and said: "After this is done, I can treat you to a meal of red dragon."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Xiao Lingxi took the jade pendant with a smile and immediately disappeared from the cave.
"What a miraculous body movement, there is no trace left."
Ji Qingyue said in shock. No wonder she hadn't noticed anyone following Zhao Mu before. But she suddenly thought of something. The embarrassing scene of her being beaten under the quilt by Zhao Mu that night might have been seen by this little girl.
"Are you alright?"
"No...it's okay..."
Seeing Zhao Mu's gaze sweeping over, Ji Qingyue quickly looked away. She really couldn't bring herself to ask this question.
