The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 421 The Wonderful Monster Fate
At almost the same time, Zou Qiwu settled in the inn.

"who are you?"

Just when he returned to the inn, Zou Qiwu was planning to use his connections and contacts to collect enough funds and supplies for Pei Wende's next action, when a woman who appeared out of thin air pushed open the door of his room.

He was clearly standing at the most eye-catching position at the door, but the other people in the inn let her stand at Zou Qiwu's door as if they didn't see the woman.

"Don't be so vigilant, I'm here to help you."

There was an incomprehensible smile on the corner of her mouth, as if the woman didn't see Zou Qiwu's repulsion at all, she said in a tone that was so calm that it was almost weird.

"Help me? If you really want to help me, at least make a basic self-introduction!"

His eyes stayed on the woman vigilantly, and now Zou Qiwu was very glad that he didn't let Yue'er follow him back to the inn, but stayed in the mansion with Zhang Chusheng.

Because the first time I saw that woman, I was sure that she was not human.

There was no sense of cursing or belittling, Zou Qiwu simply stated a fact - the woman in front of him was not human.

And the woman's next answer indeed confirmed Zou Qiwu's guess.

"As expected, he is the thief who dared to steal the 'soul boy' 20 years ago. This courage alone is far beyond ordinary people..."

"Since you want to know my name so much, let me tell you!"

It seemed to be a compromise, but the woman's words still revealed a tone of almost charity.

"My name is Rui'er. My original surname is Hu, which means Fox's Fox."

"But now I have changed my husband's surname, you can call me Lu Ruier."

Hearing this, Zou Qiwu was shocked at first, and then he understood the subtext of the woman's words.

"Fox? Are you a fox demon?!"

Instead of answering Zou Qiwu's question directly, Rui'er continued talking on her own after reporting herself.

"Look, I knew you would react like this."

"But I have kept my promise and told you my name, so should you repay me next?"

As soon as these words came out, Zou Qiwu, who was already tense, immediately darkened his face.

"What do you want to do?"

Zou Qiwu has traveled the rivers and lakes for so many years, but he can't believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

The fox demon in front of him keeps saying that he wants to help him, but it's probably because of ulterior motives.

Zou Qiwu thought about it carefully, and felt that he hadn't done anything to provoke the monster, so the other party's intention for coming could be imagined.

"You are here for Pei Wende!"

It was clearly a questioning sentence pattern, but Zou Qiwu adopted an affirmative tone when he asked this sentence.

"Huh? It seems that you are not only courageous, but also quick to respond!"

"You're right, I did come here for Wende."

When talking about Pei Wende, Rui'er had a rare gentle expression on her face, so gentle that even Zou Qiwu found it a little inconceivable.

[Is that kid's relationship with monsters so good? 】

Such a thought flashed through his mind, Zou Qiwu frowned slightly, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Because he knew that if Rui'er really came here for Pei Wende, even if he didn't say anything, the other party would definitely continue talking.

When the situation is temporarily unknown, every time I say a word less, the less things will be exposed.

"Look, that's why I don't like dealing with you businessmen."

"You always like to speculate on others with the greatest malice, and once you are sure that you are not in danger, you like to care about everything."

She saw through Zou Qiwu's thoughts at a glance, but Rui'er shook her head indifferently, and then continued.

"But I don't care so much with you this time, because I'm really here to help you."

"I know that Wende wants to help the refugees nearby, and I also know that you plan to help him raise supplies and money."

"But what you probably don't know is that because of the locust monster-Huang Chao's relationship, there is actually a shortage of supplies in the entire Tanzhou."

"Even if you use your connections to allocate supplies from other states and counties, it will definitely be too late to get them here."

When she said this, Rui'er's tone paused for a moment, and she looked at Zou Qiwu who managed to maintain his complexion with great interest.

"Is the situation... already serious to this extent?"

Zou Qiwu never thought that there would be a food shortage in the whole Tanzhou. Only then did Zou Qiwu realize that he had neglected too many details and information in order to find Zen Master Lingyou.

If the situation is indeed as serious as Ruier said, then even if Zou Qiwu is well-connected, it is impossible to transport enough relief supplies in a short time.

"So, didn't I just show up?"

Leaning gently against the open door, Rui Er said so with a slightly lazy expression.

"I can help you raise enough supplies and money, and I can guarantee that Wende's actions will not be subject to any outside interference."

Large-scale mobilization of food and grass, especially in the current shortage of supplies, will undoubtedly alarm the adults who sit in the capital.

Rui'er made such a guarantee, which was almost equivalent to saying "I have someone above me".

"What do you want me...to do?"

Zou Qiwu originally wanted to say "we", but when he thought that this woman deliberately avoided Pei Wende and came to him, he felt that the other party's purpose might not be as simple as he imagined.

Unfortunately, Zou Qiwu guessed wrong this time.

Because Rui'er didn't make any excessive demands, and the demands she made couldn't even be called "conditions".

"Don't let Wen Wende know of my existence, and don't let him know that I am behind this operation."

It has to be said that Rui'er's request really made Zou Qiwu feel at a loss.

Obviously helping at the most critical moment, but not wanting Pei Wende to know her existence, this kind of contradictory behavior made Zou Qiwu, who claimed to be used to seeing big wind and waves, a little confused.

"why?"

Confronted with Zou Qiwu's doubts, Rui'er just smiled and took a step back.

"That counts as two questions, right?"

Nodding affirmatively, Zou Qiwu said calmly.

"It is indeed two questions. After answering these two questions, I will agree to your conditions."

Hearing what Zou Qiwu said, Ruier's figure gradually disappeared, but her last voice echoed in Zou Qiwu's ears for a long time.

"The first question, why can't Wende know of my existence?"

"Because it's not yet time, and now he has not yet reached the level of 'entering the game'."

"Second question, why should I help you?"

"Because Wende saved my son, I want to repay my kindness."

"Besides, in a sense, I can be regarded as his sister now."

"The younger brother is in trouble, how can the elder sister stand by and watch?"
