deadly mantra

Chapter 396: Stubborn subordinates, tough-talking boss

After a long time, Shui Qingchen whispered:
"sleep."

"Hey!" Ji Fanyin spoke softly, too well-behaved.

It was noon.

Ji Fanyin stretched out his arms and hugged the empty space. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked around, but could not find Shui Qingchen.

"Chenchen, Chenchen...where are you?" She shouted, rubbing her eyes and opening the door.

A familiar voice came from the corridor.

"Little master."

Ji Fanyin put down the hand that was rubbing her eyes and looked up.

Cang Lie stood there like a benchmark and saluted her respectfully.

"Hey~ Who do I think you are?" Ji Fanyin lazily lengthened her voice and said with a sweet smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Cang Lie who chose another Ming Master~"

Cang Lie's knees softened and he almost lost his balance. His face turned pale and he said hoarsely:

"……little Master……"

At this moment, Shui Qingchen walked in through the courtyard, and saw Cang Lie standing at the foot of the steps with a pale face and his head lowered from a distance. The little guy had a cold smile on his lips and folded his arms like that. Leaning against the door.

Hearing his footsteps, the two people raised their heads and looked towards the courtyard.

"Hehe, Chenchen~" Ji Fanyin grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

Cang Lie lowered his head, and when he took a step back sideways, his body swayed slightly, as if he was injured:
"Master Shui."

Shui Qingchen looked at Cang Lie and nodded slightly, then said in a calm tone:
"No need to force it."

Cang Lie shook his head dullly and said nothing.

Another stubborn gourd, Shui Qingchen thought in his heart, turned to look at Ji Fanyin, she stared at her big clear eyes and pretended to be innocent.

Shui Qingchen shook his head slightly and winked. Ji Fanyin curled his lips and shrugged, pretending not to understand.

"Xiaoyin..." Shui Qingchen sighed seriously.Ji Fanyin walked past Cang Lie, took Shui Qingchen's wrist, and said coquettishly:

"Chenchen, where were you just now? Why didn't you wake me up?"

While saying this, Ji Fanyin's eyes flickered from Cang Lie's face and said:
"Are you hungry, I'm hungry."

Hearing the sound, Cang Lie lowered his head in despair and said nothing. Suddenly a mouthful of blood poured into his mouth. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and coughed violently for a while, then wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Ji Fanyin narrowed his eyes sharply, and then looked over there. Cang Lie bit his gums tightly, his lips trembling uncontrollably, as if he was trying his best to suppress the pain.

Although she had warned Leng Hongru not to make things difficult for Cang Lie.

However, it was obvious that her words fell on deaf ears by some people.

Shuiqingchen’s warm voice reminds:
"Last night, I asked Cang Lie to go into the city, and he happened to bump into Zhan Shang near the Good Sword Alliance."

Ji Fanyin smiled and disagreed:
"Since he is alive, it is only a matter of time before he encounters him. With Zhan Shang's skills, he can still come back alive, so his luck is not too bad."

Big beads of sweat rolled down Cang Lie's cheeks and dripped on the ground at his feet. His cheeks hurt slightly because his gums were biting too tightly. He still said nothing.

Ji Fanyin twitched the corners of her lips:
"Am I talking to a dead person?"

"...The sound of fighting attracted the Imperial Guards at the gate of the Good Sword Alliance, and Zhan Shang left..." Cang Lie said slowly.

Ji Fanyin: "Did I ask you this?"

Cang Lie's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his face turned pale again.

Ji Fanyin said again:
"What I'm saying is, I'm hungry. What's going on? The God of Wealth, who turns stones into gold, is so used to being worshiped by others that he can't understand a single word of mine?"

This scolding was really meaningless. Cang Lie was stunned for a while, but after understanding it, his dull eyes instantly ignited with hope. Regardless of his injuries, he ran outside and said:

"There are hares in the back mountains! I'm going to catch them now."

A smile appeared on Ji Fanyin's face, then she suppressed it and hummed softly:
"Hey, you are smart..."

Shui Qingchen held her hand and followed her slowly, saying:
"He was taught by you. Do you still know his temperament? How could he betray you? You are just a tough talker."
