It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

Xia Li was startled for a moment, but quickly calmed himself down and asked in a deep voice.

"...Why do you say that?"

"You don't know?"

"what do you know."

After a conversation that was like a charade, Qi Ming suddenly understood.

She laughed, with a hint of mockery at the corners of her mouth...

"I was wondering why you were so calm, it turns out you were kept in the dark... Your name is Fang Shengsheng, right? I guess someone tricked you into coming here. Haha, do you know which one you are?"

"Which number?"

Shengsheng was confused by the other party's question and she frowned.

"I don't understand what you are saying, just speak your mind."

"You are the seventh caretaker..."

Qi Ming said with a half-smile, her eyes fixed on Xia Li, as if she wanted to see his expression after hearing the truth. Was it fear, panic, or collapse?

I think it should be a very interesting expression.

"...The six people before you are all dead. My sister has become even more brutal since she lost her memory. Don't be fooled by her normal appearance just now. Once she goes crazy, no one can stop her!"

"When you entered the iron cell before, I thought you were going to die."

"After all, the fifth caretaker was there to take me to the 'Qi-raising Room', but as soon as he stepped in, he was killed by my sister."

Qi Ming deliberately used a gloomy tone to recount the deaths of several previous guards.

Ever since she suffered a head injury in a duel two years ago, Qi Wan's temperament has become increasingly gloomy and violent, like she has an intermittent mental disorder. Most of the time, she stays alone in the corner, looking out the window.

When I go crazy, I will kill the ghosts...

Correct!

She doesn't kill people, she only kills ghosts.

In the slave area of ​​the training ground, the only person who has the opportunity to frequently come into contact with Qi Wan's ghost is the guard.

Therefore, six first-grade nurses have died in the past two years!

Some who came in to deliver food were suddenly beaten to death, some were killed just after their shackles were removed when they were escorted to the door of the Qi-restoring room, and some who came in to clean were preparing to escort two other people in the cell to a duel, and so on... Anyone who approached Qi Wan without the restrictions of the Yin Yu shackles could die.

In addition, the first time Qi Wan went crazy, she killed her escort after defeating her opponent in the training ground.

and.

He also beat and killed the two guards and a guard captain who came to arrest her!

Ling Ling had finally killed nine ghosts.

You have to know that ghosts, even if they are lowly slave guards, are countless times more noble than humans...

When Qi Wan went crazy for the first time, Cheng Qian advocated for immediate execution. However, there were too few first-class warrior slaves, so the execution of first-class ghosts needed to be reported to the city lord. The city lord spared Qi Wan's life because he valued her talent, which led to the frequent changes of caretakers later.

but.

According to the basic rules set up when the training grounds in each major city were established, if a warrior slave is out of control or refuses to change his ways despite repeated teachings, and kills a total of ten ghosts... he will be considered an extremely dangerous existence.

Can kill on the spot.

In other words, Xia Li is the tenth person.

If Qi Wan killed Xia Li, the manager of the training ground could bypass the city lord and directly execute him.

Actually, Qi Ming was very nervous just now...

She was worried that her sister would take action. She couldn't beat her sister, and couldn't persuade her. What should she do? Fortunately, her madness was temporarily stabilized. She was completely relieved after the cell door was closed.

If Fang Shengsheng was not the tenth ghost who decided her sister's life or death, she would not have said a word to him. The conversation at this moment was nothing more than to make him give up and finally find a stronger one who could at least protect himself.

But a seventh-grade ghost like her couldn't even block one of her sister's attacks.

"Well, it turns out someone wants to murder me."

Xia Li listened to what Qi Ming said.

Suddenly I thought of the way that Manager Zheng insisted on contacting Cheng Qian, and how he was extremely embarrassed about his lack of support. The confusing guesses in my mind before finally made sense...

of course.

She would never reveal her true thoughts, but instead followed Qi Ming's line of thought and admitted it.

"...But I am just a little ghost who was promoted not long ago, and my status is humble."

You can only talk if you have topics, and you can only have frequent contact if events occur.

Xia Li knew this very well, and every time he opened his mouth he uttered nonsense.

"I was assigned to be a caretaker, I had no choice, how could I resist and escape?"

——What she said makes sense.

Since Sheng Sheng's perception has entered the [Fourth Realm] level, ordinary first-grade warriors cannot detect her cultivation level.

Qi Ming thought that the other party was really a little ghost who had just escaped from the pit. He had offended someone and was assassinated by someone through his sister.

Thinking about this...

They felt a sense of common hatred and a common enemy.

That person wanted to harm Fang Shengsheng and also harmed her loved ones. How could Qi Ming not be indignant?

"How long will you be here as a caretaker?"

The position of slave area caretaker is not a lifetime job. After all, it is a lowly job that requires constant care of humans. Generally speaking, the person will be replaced every six months or a year.

"Well... maybe three to five months."

Shengsheng thought about it.

The battle between the two cities was quite loud and the grudges had been going on for a long time, so it should last about half a year. Moreover, within three to five months, she should have obtained all the information she needed to gather, so she answered.

"Then, stay close to me when you enter and leave the cell."

Even though I'm no match for my sister, I can still protect her a little.

There is no way to replace people. The only thing we can do now is to be vigilant to prevent Fang Shengsheng from losing her life easily... It doesn't matter if her soul is destroyed, but I don't want my sister to be buried with her.

With this thought in mind, Qi Ming made up his mind.

"...Also, from now on, when you are recuperating, you will bring my two sisters with you."

The sixth caretaker died at the door of the breathing room.

The Yin Yu shackles suppress the circulation of a warrior's qi and blood, so they will be temporarily removed before recuperating. The moment the guy removed the shackles, Qi Wan happened to go crazy.

Slap it to death...

In order to prevent this situation from happening again, Qi Ming asked Xia Li to lead two people.

With her watching, at least we can avoid making the same mistake again.

"Yes! And..."

Qi Ming crossed his arms over his chest and blabbered on and on about a bunch of things to pay attention to. These were the avoidance experiences he had summarized after his previous caregivers died.

Although he talks incessantly, he does not seem verbose. Instead, he sounds condescending and bossy.

"...The last thing you need to remember is that my sister is very dangerous after the battle, so you should be more careful. Observe her demeanor carefully before putting on the shackles."

“Puff~.”

Qi Ming completely believed what she said. When Sheng Sheng heard her serious explanation, she suddenly wanted to laugh. This was the most innocent girl she had ever seen since she woke up from Yunyin.

Ok.

Xiang Yi is also simple, but not a little girl!

Shengsheng didn't try to suppress her emotions, she just laughed when she wanted to...

"What are you laughing at? Do you think what I just said is funny?"

Qi Ming frowned, his tone sounding a bit annoyed and angry.

As expected, the ghost only has the memory of his life, but has lost his humanity and does not know the etiquette and rules in his memory. She saved the other person, even though it was for her sister...but she should not be so frivolous and rude when she was explaining.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

"I felt the deep sisterly love between you two from your words, and it reminded me of my sister, so I laughed."

Shengsheng waved his hands quickly, looking serious.

“…This is a happy smile.”

——It’s definitely not because I think you’re too gullible that I laughed out loud. It was so smooth and easy for you to complete the first step of getting information.

"happiness?"

Qi Ming had a deep prejudice against ghosts, so he naturally wouldn't be happy about the other party's praise.

She repeated the two words, then showed disdain and sneered.

“Without humanity, there is no happiness.”

"What you call happiness is actually joy. Ghosts are like beasts. Killing brings you joy."

Chapter 51: The Little Cook

Faced with Qi Ming's prejudice, and the disgust and accusation against the ghosts from the bottom of his heart.

Shengsheng is very calm...

She didn't even argue and remained silent.

Anyway, she didn't think about getting along well with Qi Ming on the first day and talking about everything with him. Her initial goal had been achieved.

At least.

In the following days, Qi Ming would continue to contact her because of Qi Wan. With her skills, as long as she had more contact, would she be able to get the information she wanted?

After the two talked, Qi Ming did not go in directly to cultivate his energy, but followed Xia Li on another round trip and took Qi Wan with him... Nothing unexpected happened during the journey, and Qi Wan had a blank expression on her face and did not say a word.

Even a bit like a lady from a noble family...

There is no sign at all that he is the brutal and habitual criminal who killed nine ghosts.

......

"It seems that I have good luck."

In the evening, after finishing a day's nursing work, Shengsheng took a carriage back to Lu's mansion.

There were six palace guards following the carriage, but she was the only one sitting alone in the carriage.

this will.

She began to summarize her gains for the day. The most gratifying thing was of course the chance encounter with her former maid. Because of the past teasing... ahem, the residual power of the past, the other party still had a feeling of 'awe' in her.

On the other hand, the progress in understanding the intelligence of human warriors is also progressing smoothly.

Of course...

Xia Li still has to find an opportunity to secretly contact Xiao Liuzi. She is very curious about the other party who has broken the life span limit of 100 years. She intuitively feels that there must be something extraordinary hidden inside.

Unfortunately, Xia Liugui is under the jurisdiction of a second-rank guard, so there is no opportunity for a secret talk for the time being.

As Sheng Sheng was summarizing her plan, the carriage slowly drove back to Lu's residence. She planned to skip dinner and directly sent the servants away to practice...

After rescuing Xiao Liuzi, there are still five drops of water left. When she is at the fourth level, one drop of water represents one level. Maybe she can break into the first level and take off directly tonight!

Once you have achieved the first level of cultivation, you can go wherever you want.

But in this vast Western Continent, she already has the ability to protect herself.

"you are back!"

"???"

Xia Li, who was full of ambition and aspirations, had just stepped into Taoyuan when he heard a voice that pretended to be calm but was actually suppressing joy.

She looked at the beautiful ghost in front of her, and then looked at the sky.

A question mark on his face.
