Since Ling Xiao had blocked a fatal attack for Lie Ruyu, Lie Ruyu had been living in guilt.
In the first two months, Lie Ruyu had urged her father to send a lot of warriors to kill the Bloodthirsty Roving Bandits and the Ox Village Gang.
The leaders and gang leaders of these two groups of bandits had already been killed. The remaining people didn't pose much of a threat at all. Lie Ruyu led a large group of experts, mobilized a lot of manpower and resources to find them, and then killed them one by one.
When Lie Ruyu returned to Clear River City, she looked so haggard. She didn't have her lively personality anymore.
Lie Wudi felt so sorry when he saw his daughter like this.
He had to ask Ryoei to take Lie Ruyu back to Blazing Flame City to heal her "heart wound." At the same time, he used the secret technique to inform his father that they didn't need to make a big fuss.
After all, if they sent an Incipient God Realm expert, it would create a big commotion.
On a big flower boat on the moat of Blazing Flame City.
This was a private boat of the Blazing Flame Merchants. It wasn't a boat for the flower and wine business.
Two peerless beauties were sitting in the cabin. One of them was holding a glass of wine and drinking while the other was sitting in front of a table. She was playing a sad melody, which made the woman who was drinking even sadder.
It was like the old saying, "Drown your sorrows with wine!"
When the song ended, the woman sobbed as if she couldn't finish her grievance and pain.
The woman who was playing the melody had a beautiful face like a flower. Her beautiful eyes were like autumn water. She was wearing a light blue silk dress, which outlined her seductive, snake-like body perfectly.
This woman was Zhou Zhijing, an inner disciple of the Blazing Flame Merchants. She used to find a husband on this moat.
The other woman looked like a fairy. Her facial features looked like they were made of exquisite sculptures. She looked so perfect and flawless. However, she had a sad but beautiful smile on her face, which made people feel sad and sad.
"Little Junior Sister, don't torture yourself like this!" Zhou Zhijing walked over to Lie Ruyu's side and pressed down the wine cup in her hand.
Seeing her junior sister so sad for the first time, Zhou Zhijing's heart was also very distressed. A vague figure appeared in her mind, and she sighed softly in her heart.
What is love in the world? It's called living and dying together!
Lie Ruyu bitterly smiled and said, "Senior Sister, I just want to get drunk. Otherwise, I will always think of that guy. Tell me, why did he block that attack for me in the end? Otherwise, he wouldn't have died!"
Thinking of Ling Xiao, Lie Ruyu's heart ached.
In the beginning, she hated this guy to death and wanted to kill him as soon as possible. However, after interacting with him, she found that he was not that hateful. Although he was a little thick-skinned, shameless, and lecherous, he was quite loyal and knew that he would stand in front of women in times of danger.
That was what moved her the most!
She still remembered the first time he touched her chest, the first time he didn't care about her identity, and even the first time he spanked her …
Although they only got to know each other for a short period of time, in her heart, he had become extremely important.
Zhou Zhijing gently stroked Lie Ruyu's back and said softly, "Didn't you say that you would never like those stinky men in your life?
Forget about him, you still have me! "
Lie Ruyu did not say anything. She grabbed the wine pot and drank it alone.
Zhou Zhijing did not know how to persuade her. She could only pray in her heart that Lie Ruyu would get through this as soon as possible.
In her heart, she was also wondering if she would be so sad for a man one day.
"Greetings, Vice Club Leader!" The servant's respectful voice came from outside.
A well-built figure stepped into the flower boat. This figure had a strong waist and a strong back. From afar, she looked like a strong man, but she was actually a woman. She was also the Vice Club Leader of the Blazing Flame Merchants.
"Missy, you're here?" When Zhou Zhijing saw Lie Ruyi, she immediately became well-behaved and greeted her.
She was one of the few people who knew Lie Ruyi's identity. This was also because she was Lie Ruyu's best friend.
Lie Ruyi nodded lightly. She then looked at Lie Ruyu, who was still drinking, and frowned.
"Sister, you're here. Come and drink with me. Let's not go home until we're drunk!" Lie Ruyu called out with a dazed expression.
Lie Ruyi did not say anything. She walked in front of Lie Ruyu and flipped all the dishes on her table.
Splash!
"How long are you going to drink?
You've been drowning your sorrows in alcohol ever since you came back from Heqing City. Are you going to keep doing this? "Lie Ruyi questioned.
Looking at her dispirited sister, Lie Ruyi's heart was bleeding.
She had once thought of letting something happen between Ling Xiao and her sister. It would be best if they could be in love with each other.
In this way, they could form a relationship with Kim people. In the future, the Blazing Flame Merchants would definitely be stronger than before.
However, there was a misunderstanding at that time.
She had originally dismissed the idea, but it still happened. Her sister actually became like this because of Ling Xiao. It was a far cry from her usual self.
Although the two of them were half-sisters, the feelings between them were very sincere. As the elder sister, she also felt distressed for her younger sister.
"Sister, you don't understand. He died because he blocked that fatal blow for me. Otherwise, I would be the one who died …" Lie Ruyu cried.
"He blocked that blow for you. That's what he should do. He's just a Guest Deacon that we hired!" Lie Ruyi emphasized.
"That's right. He's just a small guest deacon, but … but he once taught me to think more about the people around me. If it weren't for my stubbornness, insisting on pestering my father to arrange for me to enter the Chaotic Ridge, then perhaps he wouldn't have been in trouble. It's all because of me," emotionally said Lie Ruyu.
"So what? You're a young mistress, and he's a Deacon. It's his honor to sacrifice his life for you. Don't be so naive, okay?
Don't tell me you've fallen for him? "Lie Ruyi said loudly.
"I … I'd rather die myself than let him die. Wah …" Lie Ruyu responded and cried bitterly on the bridge.
Lie Ruyi sat beside her and patted her shoulder. "Silly girl, Ling Xiao is a good man. If he can stand in front of a woman, he's prepared. How can he let a woman stand in front of him? Pull yourself together. I believe he doesn't want to see you so sad!"
Lie Ruyu didn't say anything. She just kept crying bitterly.
Lie Ruyi could only sigh silently in her heart. She hoped that time could heal her painful injury!
At this moment, Zhou Zhijing walked in from outside the boat and said, "Young mistress, a Deacon said he has something to report to you."
Lie Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but she still let go of Lie Ruyu and walked out.
After a while, Lie Ruyi hurried in with a smile. "Sister, let me ask you. If he's not dead, what are you going to do?"
Lie Ruyu didn't know what her sister meant. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I … I don't have any plans. As long as he's not dead, I don't have to feel guilty."
"That's it?
Don't you want to be with him?
Tell me the truth? "Lie Ruyi said slyly.
Lie Ruyu showed a bit of shyness. When she thought of that naughty smile, her heart rippled.
"I … I don't like that pervert," Lie Ruyu gritted her teeth.
"If that's the case, then I'll send him to a remote place so that you don't have to worry about him!" Lie Ruyi said.
"Yes, send him … What, sister, what do you mean?" Lie Ruyu first said a few words, then suddenly woke up and exclaimed.
"Didn't I just say it clearly? You don't like that pervert. If I don't kill him, I'll just punish him. Later, I'll order someone to send him to another place," Lie Ruyi said and walked out at the same time.
Lie Ruyu suddenly jumped up and grabbed Lie Ruyi, "Sister … You mean he's not … not dead?"
"Hehe, he deserves to die!" Lie Ruyi replied with a light smile.
How could Lie Ruyu not hear her sister's words? She immediately showed an extremely anxious expression and said, "Sister, where is he? Tell me quickly!
Could there be news of him from Clear River City?
I'll go look for him immediately! "
Lie Ruyi smiled and stroked Lie Ruyu's face, "Didn't you say you don't like him?
Why are you so anxious now? "
Lie Ruyu lightly punched Lie Ruyi and said shyly, "Sister, even you make fun of me!"
Lie Ruyi said seriously, "Ling Xiao is indeed still alive, and he has returned to Raging Flame City!"
"Really? That's great. Sister, hurry up and call him over. No … I'll go look for him!" Lie Ruyu said in surprise.
"Don't rush this matter. Tell me honestly, do you like Ling Xiao?" Lie Ruyi said very seriously.
Lie Ruyu showed a bashful expression and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? Why would I like him!"
"Alright, since you've said so, then I won't interfere in the matters between the two of you. This time, Ling Xiao didn't come back alone. He also brought two stunning women with him. I really didn't expect him to be such a playboy. To think that you would cry your heart out for him!" Lie Ruyi said.
"What, he … actually brought back women!" Lie Ruyu suddenly shouted in shock.
"Mm, anyway, you're a mistress, and he's just a servant. He's not worthy of you. Moreover, his playboy has nothing to do with us. We can't do anything about it. So be it!" Lie Ruyi said indifferently.
"This won't do. This perverted thief doesn't even put me in his eyes and actually dares to find other women. I'm so angry, and I even cried myself to death for him!" Lie Ru Yu revealed an angry expression.
"Then what do you want to do?
Kill him?
Or kill the women around him? "Lie Ruyi asked.
Lie Ruyu was suddenly speechless. She sat back on the deck and revealed a bitter smile. "It's good that he's back. This way, I don't have to feel guilty. How many women he brought back has nothing to do with me. Really!"
"You poor girl, don't lie to yourself. If you like him, go ahead and pursue him. With your qualifications, who knows how many people will line up to fight for you?" Lie Ruyi said encouragingly.
To be honest, she really approved of her sister and Ling Xiao's relationship. This was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.
