Fairy, I really am a villain!

The sound of clappers mixed with the crying of babies came from afar in the city; a woman yelled and cursed a few words, and then the city quieted down.

In the courtyard of the mansion, a woman in a black robe was sitting on the steps, with her calves tucked up and her chin resting on her hand, looking at the moon.

After returning from outside the city, Li Muyu separated from Fang Xiwen, and the people from Xinggong brought her back here to settle her down.

As always, he always had a lot of things to deal with, and he couldn't help much, so he could only wait at home obediently. She was obviously the older sister.

"Meow~"

Just when he was feeling depressed, suddenly a soft cat meow was heard in the yard. Li Muyu immediately stood up, concealed his breath, and sensed carefully.

'There.'

The Dark Evil Sword lived up to its reputation. She found the black cat lying on the courtyard wall at a glance.

It was soft, with smooth and shiny fur, and its amber eyes were like gems, glowing in the dark.

Seeing this, Li Muyu subconsciously tiptoed and approached quietly, but it seemed that he was still discovered: the black cat stood up, its tail raised, and its fat belly bounced.

"puff."

This silly behavior made Li Muyu unable to help laughing. Although he quickly covered his mouth, the black cat was still startled and quickly jumped down from the courtyard wall and ran behind the rockery in the yard.

On the corridor next to the rockery, a few girls gathered together to chat. They were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't notice the new guest.

Seeing this, Li Muyou quietly moved closer and naturally listened to the conversation of those people:

"I was really shocked today. The legendary Lightless Evil Sword is so beautiful that even a girl like me is tempted..."

"She is really beautiful, and her methods are really ruthless... That assassination method is really hard to defend against. Fortunately, she is one of our own."

Hearing this, Li Muyu's steps paused and his face felt slightly hot.

It’s fine that everyone in Xinggong is very kind to her, but I didn’t expect that they were also praising her in private discussions... I’m so embarrassed.

Having lived in an environment full of intrigue and deception, this little bit of warmth is precious; she resisted the urge to retreat and moved towards the rockery little by little, her eyes fixed on the black cat.

"More importantly, she is actually Mr. Fang's sister!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Now we can feel relieved..." As they chatted, the girls started laughing.

Is it safe to be a sister? Why does this sound weird?

After listening to their discussion, Li Muyu couldn't help but wonder what his relationship with Xiwen was.

Obviously, she doesn't have as deep a family bond with him as Fang Qingxiao, but she asks him to call her sister as an equal. Isn't this asking too much? Isn't it unfair to her?

What good would it do for Xiwen to acknowledge her as his sister?

Like today, he dragged his injured body to handle official business, but I couldn't help at all.

The black cat in the distance has gone quiet.

It sat in the shadow of the rockery, stretched out its paw and licked it, its amber eyes looking towards the gate, as if waiting for someone to come back.

Three steps, two steps, one step...

"caught you."

Li Muyu moved quickly, stretched out her hands, grabbed the black cat under its armpits, and hugged it; when she felt the furry touch, she couldn't help but cheer softly.

But she seemed to have forgotten something.

"ah!"

Seeing a person suddenly appear in the shadow, the girls chatting on the veranda exclaimed and several pairs of eyes looked over.

"No, sorry..." Li Muyu held the black cat in his arms, pulled up the hood, and apologized in a low voice.

I was too complacent.

"What? It's Sister Fang." A girl with a slender figure patted her chest a few times and then laughed, "It's a relief that you were able to catch Xiao Hei. He is usually very shy."

"Yeah."

Seeing that they were not angry, Li Muyu felt relieved and lifted the black cat in his arms slightly.

Just as Xiaoxuan said, it was indeed a little shy, with its big eyes rolling around; but it seemed very well behaved and did not struggle, but just kept looking back at the gate.

It was the first time that Li Muyu saw such a cute creature. He immediately ran to the steps and sat down carefully. He stretched out his fingers to tease it, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

The girls in the distance were still chatting, but the topic had turned to business.

"What should we do with the captives of Mie Tian Men? Kill them all?" "Don't worry, let's see if we can get something out of them first... More important than this is the subsequent impact of this matter. No matter how we conceal it, it can't change the fact that the Thousand-Handed Demon disappeared in Longchuan..."

Soon, Xiaoxuan and the others came up with several plans. Just as they were about to draft them, she suddenly knocked her head and laughed, "Oh, I just remembered that this siege was led by Master Fang. He must have had a plan in mind."

"That's right! Hehe, wait for him to come back and we'll ask them one by one..."

The little fairies in the distance finished their discussion and then started to laugh and make a noise together.

Li Muyou teased Xiao Hei for a while, and seeing that it didn't react much, but just kept looking back, he understood and whispered: "Really? So you are also waiting for someone to go home..."

It's similar to me.

So she stretched out her finger and gently touched Xiao Hei's paw; it immediately opened Li Muyu's arms, jumped to the ground, and ran towards the door.

"Hey, do you have a good nose?"

Not long after Xiao Hei ran out the door, a gentle voice sounded, with a hint of smile;

Soon, a young man in a green shirt walked through the door in the night, carrying several large bags in his hands, with his arms folded. The black cat nestled on his chest.

Seeing this, Li Muyu quickly patted his clothes and stood up.

"Second sister," Fang Xiwen saw her at a glance and was startled, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, just a moment."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to leave you here alone. I have some things to arrange over there..." He explained a few words, threw Xiao Hei to the ground, and walked closer: "I brought you some midnight snacks, all delicious."

As he said this, he smiled and handed over a big bag.

Li Muyu nodded blankly and took it.

How can I put it? He is so busy but he is still thinking about me... I really don’t know how to put it.

"Master Fang, Master Fang, where are ours?"

The girls under the veranda flew over like butterflies, their voices sounded like a string of silver bells, and they stretched out three, four or five little hands.

"Don't worry, everyone has a share. I bought this water chestnut cake this afternoon and it's been stored for a while, so it shouldn't affect the taste..." Fang Xiwen handed it out one package at a time, then squatted down, rubbed the cat's head, and opened the package: "Here, this is yours."

Seeing this, Li Muyu suddenly felt not so happy anymore.

After chatting with the little girls for a while, Fang Xiwen walked towards his second sister and pulled her to sit on the steps.

"It was me who asked my second sister to come over to help, but I left you alone for the whole day. Do you blame me?"

"A little bit."

"Really? But I'm very happy to see my second sister."

"I'm happy too," Li Muyou hugged his knees and stared at Xiao Hei who was eating, "As happy as it is."

"You mean Xiao Hei? I picked it up on the roadside. I don't know what breed it is, but since the City Lord's Mansion is big and the girls are willing to take care of it, I just kept it.

Don't you want to eat the midnight snack I brought back?"

Hearing this, Li Muyu belatedly opened the paper package, and found that what was inside was not water chestnut cake, but a bowl of icy cold Yuanzi.

Her eyes lit up and she turned to look at him.

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen raised her eyebrows proudly: "I made it in someone else's store during my break. I know you like to eat it cold. How about it?"

"...very sweet." She took a sip.

Chapter 198 Take a shower together?

At the same time, in the northern part of Longchuan.

There are many mountains here. There is a cross-valley that separates the two places. Crossing it is the throat capital of Dajin, and going back is the Xinggong realm.

The rift is impassable, and even the scenery that allows flying cannot be crossed. This is due to both natural and human factors.

Fang Xiwen mentioned this when she and the Saint Lady parted for the first time.

The main reason why the Star Palace has been shrinking is that its geographical location is too bad: the south borders the Southern Wasteland, which is a hotbed for the Blood Robe Cult's insects;

It is impossible to go straight to the north. If you want to take a detour, you must pass through the aristocratic families that guard the capital.

Apart from the covetous Yuwen family in the hinterland, there are also royal lackeys scattered around the north, such as the Fang family.

However, on the one hand, the Xing Palace has a profound foundation, and on the other hand, the old emperor deliberately lets it go, so there has been peace for so many years. The main object of friction is the madman of the Blood Robe Cult.

The promise Fang Xiwen made before was also based on this - when he could gain some control over the Fang family - he would take the initiative to open up a road north of the Xinggong.

But in fact, he is not the only one who intends to develop here.

Ten miles away from the rift valley, there are rows of houses built at the foot of the mountain; in one of these simple and neat courtyards, a man is watching fish at night.

The courtyard was brightly lit. A pond had been dug in the middle of the courtyard where there should have been an open space. Colorful koi were swimming in it. The water was so clear that the fish seemed to be floating in the air.

Yuwen Chou had been looking at them for half an incense stick of time.

Whenever he encountered troubles, such as difficulties in his training, unrest among his subordinates, pressure from his family, etc., he would come to this pond, put his hands behind his back, and watch the fish swim carefree.

If there were someone who only knew Yuwen Chou based on his impression of him, he would be shocked at this.

The list of people said that he was addicted to flying leaves, extremely bloodthirsty, and a manic lunatic; but from his appearance, he was eight feet tall, beautiful, with beautiful hair, and he looked quite dignified in a white robe with his hands behind his back.

Although it was late at night, lights were on not only in Yuwen Chou's room, but in the entire row of rooms around it. From time to time, neat shouts and heavy breathing could be heard, as if many people were training.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Without any announcement, he just knocked three times, and then an armored subordinate walked in and bowed to his back, saying, "General, when we went hunting today, we encountered resistance.

He said he met you once at Tingyuxuan, so let's go to another place to fight."

"Don't worry about him." Yuwen Chou waved his hand casually, "Pull out his tongue next time you see him. If there is a similar incident, do the same thing."

"promise!"

"Go down."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate bowed and the sound of metal clashing was heard as he walked.
