Bai Xiaocha ran towards Yun Xiao happily. Before she could think of how to strike up a conversation, she suddenly noticed a man standing next to her.

"Yeah!" She stopped quickly, hid behind a small stall, and stuck her head out to observe secretly.

They are holding hands!

"What should I do..." She felt troubled in her heart and murmured in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if the old cow eats the tender grass, it's still someone else's grass. If I help that smelly uncle, won't I be harming this little girl? I

You can’t do that!”

However, she just wanted to go back, and as soon as she turned around, she remembered what the smelly uncle had just said - lose thirty years.

"Ahhhh! Damn it!" Bai Xiaocha stomped his feet in annoyance. If he hadn't been fascinated by his face back then, he wouldn't have signed the one-hundred-year contract by accident.

!

That year she was accidentally abducted into the sea market and turned into a commodity. Before she was about to be auctioned, the trafficker got into an argument with someone in the gambling room inside the building. The man had a good-looking face. Although he was a man, he looked really...

pretty!

The man was smiling and looking very weak. He put the trafficker to the ground in a few seconds. She had a weird idea. She was going to be sold as a commodity anyway, so she might as well rely on him, so she thought she was smart and wanted to take it.

She apologized, and the trafficker wanted to settle the matter, so he simply sold her to the man, and the two shook hands and made peace.

She happily signed a one-hundred-year contract of prostitution, and dreamed of going out with such a good-looking person. She never expected that the guy would change hands and sell her to a mirage again. Although not

Then there are the goods waiting to be auctioned, but she has just become a girl running errands, the kind of coolie who doesn't get any pay at all!

She worked like this in the sea market for forty years, until last year the old landlord died unexpectedly in a shipwreck, and this guy appeared out of nowhere and took her back to his side.

He is still so good-looking and has not aged at all in forty years. He also claims to be from the Lingfeng tribe and has lived for thousands of years.

She could no longer believe that deceitful mouth, but after getting along with him for a year, she gradually realized that the guy really didn't lie to her, and that there really was a special flame in his eyes that only the Lingfeng tribe had!

She grabbed her hand with a grimace and looked at the flame mark on her wrist. It was a curse mark engraved on the flesh and blood of the soul. Once she tried to escape, she would suffer bone-eroding pain.

"It's just a lie to buy a mask. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Bai Xiaocha could only comfort himself, coughed a few times to encourage himself, and then pretended to bump into him!

"Ah..." The next moment, Bai Xiaocha suddenly changed her attitude, pretending to be pitiful and touched her forehead, her eyes turned red instantly, and like a magic trick, she took out a white camellia flower from behind, and held it high

He held it up and said pitifully, "Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for your sister! This is the white camellia of our clan. If you give it to the girl you like, you will get the best love!"

Xiao Qianye looked straight at the little girl who bumped into his arms and recognized at a glance that she was from the White Tea Clan.

"You call me brother? I think you are much older than me, right?" He took the flower from Bai Xiaocha's hand, and sure enough he saw an embarrassed twitch on her face, and quickly explained, "Well, that can't be like this

Forget it! According to the age of our White Tea clan, I am really not an adult! But according to the age of your human clan, you are both adults. It is right for me to call you brother and her sister!"

"White tea tribe?" Yun Xiao bent down, and Bai Xiaocha quickly took her hand, "Sister, just ask your brother to buy you one. I can help you wrap the flower so that it won't wither for a few months.

of!"

Then she snatched the white camellia from Xiao Qianye's hand and murmured something. She saw a wave of water surrounding the flower, and soon it formed a water ball.

"Look! Just wrap it with water balloons like this!" She said proudly, holding the flower.

Yun Xiao's face hesitated slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the ball - it was the same spell, although it was much weaker, but it was exactly the same as the spell that trapped the mermaid!

"I'm not lying to you." Seeing that she didn't believe it, Bai Xiaocha became anxious, "Don't think this is just a very ordinary water polo technique. In fact, it has three layers. The first layer blocks light, and the second layer

It has sound insulation and a third layer of heat insulation, so the flowers can bloom in it for a long time! This is what my stinky uncle taught me. I have tried it many times. It is genuine and I promise it will not trick you!"

"Does that stinky uncle of yours also know how to do this kind of water polo technique?" Yun Xiao followed the lead and asked calmly. Seeing that she took the bait, Bai Xiaocha nodded quickly, pulled her sleeve and pointed to one side, "If you

If you don’t believe me, I can take you to find him. He is very powerful and knows many strange spells!"

Yun Xiao and Xiao Qianye exchanged glances, "I also like magic very much. Can you take me to meet him?"

She fell into the trap so easily? Bai Xiaocha was secretly dumbfounded, this was so smooth, God finally opened his eyes and wanted to give her thirty years off!

"Of course, my stinky uncle likes a little girl like you, hehe." She smiled maliciously and led the two of them back. They saw that the stinky uncle had already chased away the vendors around him, and he had a good look.

Sitting in front of a mask stall like this, he really looks like a businessman.

"Ahem, uncle, someone wants to find you."

Xiao Qianye had been observing her, and the way she winked showed that she had another purpose.

"Okay, Xiaocha, you go back first. The dance floor will open soon. Go back and work hard." He waved his hand and wanted to push Bai Xiaocha away, but he saw her eyes widened and she sat down on the ground.

He refused to leave, "You, you promised to take me with you this time. Don't think about me going back to do odd jobs. I have been working here for forty years in vain. I just rely on the mercy of the rich to reward me."

Pocket money... I won't leave, and if you want to drive me away, I will..."

She glanced at Yun Xiao and secretly put pressure on him.

"Sir, I have a question to ask you." Yun Xiao had obviously seen the relationship between the two, but she was still more concerned about the water polo technique and asked, "I have seen similar spells in the city before.

, it trapped a mermaid inside. The mermaid was about the same size as a normal person, but the water polo technique actually shrunk it to the size of a glass ball. Now the mermaid accidentally fell into my hands. I don’t know if Mr.

Is there any way you can help me rescue her?"

As soon as she spoke, Feng Jiuqing's heart suddenly sank, and his sharp eyes stared straight at her chest.

"Hey, uncle, what are you looking at?" Bai Xiaocha pulled away from him awkwardly, "Where are you looking! There are so many people, please pay attention!"

He seemed to have lost his soul and subconsciously reached out to take off the mask from her face.

"Sir." Xiao Qianye stopped him, and his other hand seemed to have been pressed on the sword spirit under his clothes.

"Don't, don't, don't... don't be angry. My stinky uncle is just a lecher. Don't be angry!" Bai Xiaocha hurriedly came out to smooth things over, stopped in the middle, and persuaded in a good voice, "My stinky uncle is, he is.

The mask seller must think that the masks you are wearing are too ordinary and want you to buy his! Hey, craftsmen all have this strange problem. They always feel that what they do is the best. Don't be angry. Let's do this.

If you choose any of the masks on the stall, you can apologize to both of you!"

Xiao Qianye's eyes were like a terrifying sharp blade. Bai Xiaocha was so frightened that he was speechless and could only make up random things.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Yun Xiao gently pulled Xiao Qianye back and looked at Feng Jiuqing again. He was still motionless and silent for a long time, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

Is it Qiu Shui's child? That year she left without saying goodbye. I thought she would give up the fetus in her belly, but she didn't expect that she actually gave birth to the child?

This child... is still alive and has grown so big. He never knew that he had a daughter of this size.

"Heh... let me see that mermaid." Feng Jiuqing woke up in a blink of an eye, and her eyes finally became brighter. Bai Xiaocha breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and sat aside, panting with lingering fear.

gas.

"That's it." Yun Xiao took out the water polo he got from Xiao Qinlou and handed it to him. Feng Jiuqing took it and waved it in the palm of his hand a few times. "It is indeed a water polo technique. I heard that there are traffickers who specialize in hunting fish for a living.

After being caught, they will be sold to major restaurants, or to some businessmen with special habits, and they can make a lot of money in a year. The mermaid tribe lives in the sea, and most of them do not have the ability to live on land, so they use water balloons.

The technique is trapped to facilitate buying and selling."

"Specialized mermaid traders?" Yun Xiao lowered his voice, a little anxious, "Are they the only ones who can remove this kind of spell?"

"That's not true." Feng Jiuqing smiled, "What does this mermaid have to do with you? It's not difficult to save her, but it does take a little effort. There is no need for you to spend a lot of time on someone who has nothing to do with you."

"Relationship... I don't know this mermaid girl. I just got her accidentally by chance." Yun Xiao didn't hide it. Feng Jiuqing was not surprised at all when he heard such an answer. He even expected it.

——He has the same nosy temperament as Qiu Shui, but I don’t know whether the face under this mask is more like him or more like Qiu Shui.

"Need anything special?"

Feng Jiuqing nodded: "The five elements restrain each other, and earth restrains water. This special water polo technique requires something called Lianjin Ni. As long as you sprinkle it on it, it will melt naturally."

"Lianjin mud?" Xiao Qianye continued, "It's something from Yangchuan. It is said that the kind of mud used in the construction of the Temple of the Sun in Dayan City was the same."

"Oh? You know so well?" Feng Jiuqing was slightly surprised, and then she noticed the man beside Yun Xiao who had just stopped her. His eyes suddenly lit up, and the smile on his lips suddenly faded a lot.

Even though he was wearing a mask, he still recognized this person at a glance. This was Xiao Qianye, the master of the imperial military pavilion!

Indeed, Xiao Qianye studied in the Kunlun Mountains of the Central Plains, and he and Yun Xiao are from the same school.

Just because he appeared here at this moment, did he discover the traces of the Lingyin clan so quickly? No, according to the Lord's calculation, it would take at least half a year for the imperial capital to find the two fugitives, and only one month had passed.

Just showing off?

Feng Jiuqing remained calm and continued the topic just now: "Indeed, even gold mud is unique to Yangchuan. It is not particularly rare in the Sunset Desert to the west. It just takes some effort to extract it, but it doesn't matter.

, if you want to save this mermaid, after the dance floor opens, go north to find a place called Changlefang. The proprietress there is an acquaintance of me. She used to do business in Yangchuan, so she should be there.

have……

"Changlefang... Changlefang again!" Bai Xiaocha jumped up excitedly, grabbed Yun Xiao, and stared at Feng Jiuqing warily, "Don't believe him, I was deceived by him there.

I signed a 100-year contract of sale of my life, and it hasn’t been paid off yet! It’s a black shop, so don’t go there!”

"Bai Xiaocha, lead the way for them." Feng Jiuqing ignored her completely and instead gave her own order.

"I won't go, you have to go by yourself!"

"Minus another ten years."

"You, what did you say..." Bai Xiaocha was immediately moved, and his tone suddenly became low-key. Feng Jiuqing looked at her and said word by word, "I said - ten more years."

"Deal!" She immediately changed her face and said with a smile, "Sister, although Changlefang is a gambling house, it's actually not bad! I see that the shabby clothes you wear are definitely not people addicted to gambling.

, then it’s okay. When the dance floor opens in a while, I will take you to find the landlady to get the gold mud and silver... Even if it’s on this stinky uncle’s head, don’t worry, with me, Bai Xiaocha, I’ll definitely succeed!”

"Then thank you little sister." Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Qianye frowned, not daring to let down his guard at all.

Frankly speaking, there was no malicious intent on the part of these two people, but the abnormal behavior between them always made him uneasy.

"Hey, wait, here's this for you." Feng Jiuqing stopped them and took off two masks from the shelf, "Is this your first time coming to Mirage? The people here are very powerful, so change to a more expensive mask.

, don’t cause trouble for others.”

"Yes, yes, what this uncle said is absolutely true." Bai Xiaocha quickly agreed, "In the sea market, people recognize money but not people. Wearing a mask is just to make it easier to buy and leave. No matter what happens after that.

You can’t find anyone for any problem, but this mask is a symbol of status. The more expensive it is, the less likely anyone will want to bully you. Please put it on quickly."

"Then thank you both for your kindness." Yun Xiao then took it. The mask was heavy and heavy, and it also came with a gorgeous phoenix crown headdress, studded with jewels.

She took off the ordinary mask on her face, only to find that at this moment there was a fiery gaze looking at her unabashedly.

Feng Jiuqing's eyes were extremely complicated. Looking at her face, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

Qiu Shui... She is indeed somewhat similar to her mother, but she has more of the characteristics of the Lingfeng clan - tall, thin, with a calm face, but if you look closely, you can see that there is a burning flame in her eyes.
