"Two hundred and thirty-eight coins!"

After killing Yan Bingyun, Wang Laoshi left behind a bunch of incoherent words.

After paying his respects to the Baihua Tower where Mu Sheng was, he gathered up his scales and bone spurs and fled away with a few leaps.

It was not until his figure disappeared from the crowd's sight that the runners from the Five Cities Bingmasi and the captains from the Embroidered Uniform Guard arrived at the scene.

At the window on the third floor of Baihua Tower, Haitang Duoduo watched the Jinyiwei taking away the unconscious bodies of Shen Wan'er and Yan Bingyun, and curled her lips and said:
"The Nanqing hostage was attacked and killed in the street in Shangjing City. I'm afraid Nanqing will not let it go easily. I'm afraid the two countries will have to argue again."

"If the person who died was just a hostage, and a spy from Nanqing, what is there to worry about?" Mu Sheng said nonchalantly.

"How can it be so simple? There is no trivial matter in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. A little carelessness will lead to an unnecessary war." Haitang Duoduo shook her head and sighed.

"Isn't it because your Northern Qi's overall strength is not as good as Southern Qing's?"

Mu Sheng's casual words left Haitang Duoduo speechless. Although his words were unpleasant to hear, they were the truth.

If it weren't for the existence of her master, Grandmaster Ku He, and the restraint of Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City, life in Northern Qi would have been much more difficult.

"Okay, stop worrying about nothing," Mu Sheng said, holding Haitang Duoduo's shoulders, "Don't you want to know the truth?"

"Let's go, find a suitable place and talk slowly!"

"A person from Qi worries about the world?" Haitang Duoduo felt that this phrase was indeed very appropriate here. As a person from Qi, wasn't she worried about the affairs of the world?

"What Qi people? Qi people? Qi yi Qi!"

Mu Sheng looked at the confused Haitang Duoduo, pushed her shoulders and walked downstairs: "Don't think about it, it's all related to what you want to know, you will understand in a while."

The guests in Baihua Tower had not yet recovered from the demonic murder incident when they saw their saint being taken away.

"Ah? Goose?"

A man-eating monster suddenly appeared in Shangjing City.

He also killed a Nanqing hostage in the street, which frightened Shen Wan'er, the sister of Jinyiwei commander Shen Zhong, silly.

Such an explosive incident immediately caused an uproar in Shangjing City and attracted the attention of various forces.

It would be fine if it was just a man-eating monster, but it's most likely a false rumor.

However, the death of the Northern Qi hostage is likely to cause the deterioration of relations between Qi and Qing, and will have a great impact on all walks of life.

As the news spread, various versions of the story emerged.

Some people think that it is demons that are causing chaos in the world, so they go to Taoist temples and pray for the gods' protection.

Some people believed that this was a conspiracy by Nanqing, who wanted to use it as an excuse to attack Northern Qi.

Some people also think that it is just a proton, and with Grand Master Ku He around, war will definitely not be easily started.

While the entire Shangjing City was affected by this incident, the person behind all this was enjoying the service of the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi very comfortably.

Qinglan Mansion.
This place is adjacent to the Northern Qi Imperial Palace and is the residence given by Emperor Zhan Doudou to Haitang Duoduo.

Normally, many rare flowers would be planted in the courtyard of a mansion like this, or some strange mountains and rocks would be placed there.

Used to highlight the inner style and status of the owner of the mansion.

However, Mu Sheng saw whole fields of rapeseed flowers in the backyard of Haitang Duoduo's mansion.

The small golden flowers emit a faint fragrance in the sunshine, and many bees and butterflies can be vaguely seen among the flowers.

"I thought you would have a lot of crabapple flowers here, but it turns out they are all rape flowers." Mu Sheng sat in a pavilion surrounded by rape flowers, looking at the crabapple flowers with some amusement:

"But this flower is quite suitable for your current outfit!"

Haitang Duoduo put down the teapot that she was pouring tea for Mu Sheng and rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "If you think my clothes are too tacky, can you just say so?"

After returning home, Haitang Duoduo changed into an outfit that she felt most comfortable in.

She wore an orange long-sleeved top, a dark long skirt, and a light-colored floral headscarf on her head.

She looks just like a country girl, not at all like the saint of Northern Qi.

"Who said you were unsophisticated?" Mu Sheng complained: "I meant to say that you are like this rape flower, although it looks ordinary."

“Not as gorgeous as roses, not as fresh as lilies, and not as noble and elegant as peonies.”

'Um? ? ? '

"You might as well call me unsophisticated!"

Haitang Duoduo was so speechless that she almost wanted to laugh.

"But!" Mu Sheng suddenly raised his voice: "Under its ordinary appearance, it hides the warmest colors and the most vibrant vitality."

“And it’s also the most practical!”

Mu Sheng looked into Haitang Duoduo's eyes and said, "Other flowers may bring spiritual enjoyment, but the oil extracted from rapeseed flowers is not good."

“But it is something that a person cannot do without in life!”

Pfft!Pfft!
Looking at Mu Sheng's sincere eyes, Haitang Duoduo felt like she suddenly heard her own heartbeat.

The blood in the body seemed to be flowing uncontrollably.

If anyone else said this, Haitang Duoduo would just think that this person was full of sweet talk and must be trying to get something from her.

But when she heard Mu Sheng say this, she inexplicably believed it.

"Have some tea!" Haitang Duoduo picked up Mu Sheng's teacup and placed it in front of him, then lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"You can say anything. You are so talkative. I am suddenly a little worried about the truthfulness of your words."

Mu Sheng looked at Haitang Duoduo's dodging appearance, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Although Haitang Duoduo usually appears to be carefree and nonchalant, she actually does care about her appearance.

Especially when facing someone you like.

Women should look after those who please themselves!
In fact, it’s the same for men. When facing the person they like, even the most sloppy men can’t help but dress themselves up.

Of course, succeeding is another matter.

Many couples will show their ugliest side to each other after they are together.

Huh?
Is this the reason why many couples who have been together for several years break up?

Before the relationship turns into love, you see too many bad sides of the other person.

When the passion fades, with some external factors, it is easy to end hastily.

Of course, the main reason is that I have no money.

Because money is the best medical beauty for mankind!

Mu Sheng shook his head, getting rid of the random thoughts in his mind, picked up the teacup and took a sip, making a tsk tsk sound.

"Cough cough!"

After moistening his mouth, Mu Sheng put his fist against his mouth and coughed twice, ready to start his own story.

"Ye Qingmei, you should know, right?"

"Of course I know. Nanqing's current national strength is related to her. She established the Nanqing Supervisory Council and also invented glass and soap."

Haitang Duoduo talked incessantly about the legend of Ye Qingmei.

She also greatly admired this extraordinary woman who had a profound impact on the entire world situation, and she also collected many legends about Ye Qingmei.

After a while, Haitang Duoduo finally finished telling the information she knew about Ye Qingmei: "It is said that she is from the temple, but I don't know if it is true."

"it is true!"

"What?" Haitang Duoduo was stunned.

"I said, the legend that Ye Qingmei came from the temple is true," Mu Sheng repeated again.

Haitang Duoduo immediately sat up straight and looked at Mu Sheng seriously. Mu Sheng's affirmative tone made her realize that she was about to hear some incredible secret.

"How can you be so sure? Are you also..."

Is it from the temple too?
Haitang Duoduo thought of Mu Sheng's strength, whose aura alone made her frightened, and the devil-like Wang Laoshi, who was obviously related to him.

If Mu Sheng came from the temple, the place where immortals lived in legend, then everything could be explained.

"Me? I'm not from that abandoned military museum!" Mu Sheng shook his head with disdain.

'Military Museum? What's that?'

Haitang Duoduo caught another word she had never heard of before.

Although he didn't know the specific meaning, he could hear the disdain for the temple from Mu Sheng's tone, and his heart beat faster.

"You don't even look down on the temple, so where are you from?"

It can't be in the sky, right?
"Let me think about how to put it." Mu Sheng scratched his head and asked, "Do you want to hear the details or the simplified version?"

"Details!" Haitang Duoduo answered without hesitation.

She has plenty of time, so of course the more detailed the better.

"If you want to know the details, it will be a long story."

"Countless years ago, the entire universe was in chaos. There was no distinction between heaven and earth. There was only endless darkness and emptiness."

"After who knows how many years, a creature named Pangu appeared."

"."

Since you want to hear the details, Mu Sheng will start directly from the beginning when Pangu created the world.

When night falls, we have just finished talking about the Longhan Catastrophe and entered the Lich Age.

At this time, Haitang Duoduo had already forgotten her original purpose and was completely immersed in the magnificent mythological story.

She neither eats nor drinks water, and looks like an internet addict girl obsessed with novels.

"Cough cough!"

Mu Sheng looked at Haitang Duoduo and saw that she was going to stay up late, so he coughed twice on purpose and looked up at the moon in the sky.

Indicates that it is already late.

"What's wrong? Is your throat dry?"

Haitang Duoduo was enjoying the song, and when she saw Mu Sheng stop, she quickly picked up the teapot on the table and was about to pour him tea.

However, after such a long time, there was no water left in the teapot.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you some hot water!"

Having said that, Haitang Duoduo stood up and headed towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng quickly pulled her back, saying with a smile: "I mean, it's so late, shouldn't we..."

"Oh~", Haitang Duoduo suddenly realized: "I see, it's really not right to stay outside so late, let's go inside and talk"

As she said this, she pulled Mu Sheng's arm and went to her room in the main courtyard.

"Hey! Hey!"

"I mean, it's so late, shouldn't we have dinner and rest?"

Mu Sheng was completely speechless.

"It's just getting dark, it's not time to rest yet!" Haitang Duoduo dragged Mu Sheng forward by herself.

"I'll have dinner delivered to you in a minute, you can talk while you eat."

"This is as exciting as when I was in school, reading novels in bed at night!"

Mu Sheng didn't expect Haitang Duoduo to be so addicted.

With no other choice, he could only follow her into Haitang Duoduo's boudoir.

But he forgot one thing, Haitang Duoduo is a warrior of the ninth rank, and her abundant energy is far beyond what he had when he was studying.

And for someone who has never been exposed to these stories, Haitang Duoduo's addiction is even greater than he was at that time.

So in the next few days, he spoke during the day, at night, while sitting, walking, and lying down.

Even when taking a bath, Haitang Duoduo had to listen to him through the screen!
Even when going to the toilet.
"Hey!"

"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"Privacy! Can you please respect my privacy?"

Mu Sheng squatted in the toilet with his bare butt, and yelled at the head sticking out from above the cubicle.

"What's the big deal? I've seen you taking a bath." Haitang Duoduo pouted and said, "I don't think you stink!"

"What's so stinky about it? My shit has no smell! If there is any smell, it must be fragrant!"

This is not a lie. As his body became stronger, Mu Sheng's digestive system also became stronger, and his feces had no smell.

"And you actually peeked at me while I was taking a shower?" Mu Sheng said in shock, "You, you simply betrayed my trust in you!"

"Can you blame me for this?" Haitang Duoduo said confidently, "Who told you to be so troublesome?"

"Like a lady from a wealthy family, you have to take a bath every day. Can't you learn from me?"

"You you..." Mu Sheng thought of what Haitang Duoduo had done in the past few days and couldn't help but admire her: "You are such a ruthless person!"

During these few days, Haitang Duoduo didn't sleep, didn't take a bath, and ate and drank very little, just to avoid going to the toilet.

Even so, every time he would drag Mu Sheng to the toilet, rush in and rush out, and was unwilling to stop for a moment.

If it weren't for her ninth-grade martial arts skills, she would have been disabled after these few days.

"I'm really stupid, really."

"I just knew she was addicted, but I didn't expect her addiction to be so severe and she could endure it so long."

"If I had known earlier, I would..."

At this moment, Mu Sheng has transformed into Xiang Lin Sheng, muttering constantly.

"What are you mumbling about? Are you done?" Haitang Duoduo urged, "It's almost an incense stick of time. If you don't come out, I'll go in!"

"When you came to the toilet at the crucial moment, it was really frustrating."

"Here it comes, that's it, put your head back first, I need to wash my hands," Mu Sheng had no choice but to end his shit escape early.

Two days later, late at night, in Haitang Duoduo's room
Mu Sheng was leaning on the couch, next to him was Haitang Duoduo who was nodding and dozing off.

After a few days, even Haitang Duoduo, who was at the ninth rank, couldn't bear it anymore.

". In this way, nuclear radiation caused serious damage to the earth's environment, making it no longer suitable for human habitation."

"Some of them escaped from the earth in spaceships to find a new home in the universe."

"The other part was abandoned on Earth, and civilization regressed to primitive times."

"This is your origin. You should know the subsequent history better than I do."

"So. That's how it is." Haitang Duoduo uttered a few unclear words, and then there was no movement.

Mu Sheng turned his head and found that she had fallen asleep on the couch.

"Ha~"

Mu Sheng chuckled, pulled a thin quilt over Haitang Duoduo, and then lay down.

Sleep! Sleep!
