Hua Wu Que was speechless at her question, feeling like a fool himself. He knew this girl’s thinking was different from normal people, yet he still asked her these questions.
Xiao Long Nu glanced at him indifferently, took a sip of her tea and said, “You think I’m a weirdo, don’t you?”
Hua Wu Que was a little surprised, he hadn’t heard that this girl had mind-reading abilities!?
Xiao Long Nu stood up and slowly walked towards the door. “Since you can’t get out either, and you’re here because of me, you can only stay here. I’ll take you to Sun Po Po’s place, you can rest there from now on.” Without waiting for Hua Wu Que’s response, she moved lightly and floated away.
Hua Wu Que inwardly complained, “What about the scenario where I sleep on the bed and you sleep on the ropes? Is my appearance really not as good as Yang Guo’s? Seeing her walk further away, he quickly got up and followed.
They arrived at the entrance of a stone chamber. Xiao Long Nu pointed to the interior. “You’ll live here from now on, don’t enter my resting place without my permission.” With that, she turned to leave. Walking halfway, she stopped and said softly, “I just don’t understand, but I’m not stupid,” and then slowly walked away.
Hua Wu Que looked at her back in a slightly embarrassed way, feeling that he had really made a mistake. This Xiao Long Nu, at such a young age, had cultivated her martial arts to a higher level than even Li Mo Chou, how could she be a stupid person? It’s just that she had never interacted with outsiders since she was young, her mind was pure, and she didn’t understand human affairs.
He shook his head, dispelling his dejected mood. Since he had already entered the Ancient Tomb, it was a solid step towards success. This Xiao Long Nu was also a woman, he wouldn’t believe he couldn’t handle her!
Encouraging himself inwardly, Hua Wu Que turned and entered the stone chamber. Inside was equally spotless. There was no one else in the Ancient Tomb, it could only have been cleaned by Xiao Long Nu. Although she showed no sadness over Sun Po Po’s death, her actions showed that she cared about the old woman.
“What a kind and good girl!” Hua Wu Que touched his chin and thought as he leaned against the stone bed.
…
Morning
Xiao Long Nu was awakened by the sound of stir-frying. She rolled off the rope, walked out in confusion. Sun Po Po had already passed away, who was cooking?
Walking into the kitchen, she saw Hua Wu Que, wearing an apron, holding a wok in one hand and adding ingredients to the pot with the other. Hearing her footsteps, he turned to look at her. “You’re awake? Go wash up, the food will be ready soon.”
Xiao Long Nu nodded, without thanking him, she turned and left. Hua Wu Que had expected her reaction, knowing the road ahead would be difficult. He turned back to continue cooking.
“Why aren’t you eating? What are you staring at me for?” Xiao Long Nu held a rice bowl, chewing her food in small bites. Sensing the intense gaze from across the table, she raised her head in confusion and asked.
Hua Wu Que hurriedly lowered his head and ate a few bites, inwardly exclaiming, “Sure enough, a triple-threat girl is powerful. This girl, unintentionally, reveals her youthful charm, and she’s got me mesmerized.”
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Xiao Long Nu shook her head, feeling that the person in front of her was indeed a fool. He was young, it was a pity.
After they finished their meal, Xiao Long Nu got up, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and walked towards the kitchen. Walking halfway, she turned back and said, “You made better food than Sun Po Po. From now on, you’ll cook, and I’ll wash the dishes.” She secretly assigned Hua Wu Que the position of head chef without waiting for his response, and then turned to leave.
After she washed the dishes and came out, she saw Hua Wu Que leaning against the door. She was a little puzzled. “Why do you always follow me? Don’t you have anything to do?”
Hua Wu Que roared inwardly, “This broken place has nothing, and you dare ask me if I have anything to do?!”
“Long Jie, I learned from a previous senior that Wang Chong Yang seems to have something with your family’s ancestor?” Hua Wu Que made a pretense of gossip, desperately trying to get her to take him to see the Nine Yin Manual.
Xiao Long Nu nodded. “I don’t know much, but my ancestor did have a feud with Wang Chong Yang.” She found it strange why this person would ask such questions.
Hua Wu Que nodded. “That’s right. Take me to your family’s coffin-storage place, I have some guesses.”
Xiao Long Nu didn’t say anything, leading him inside. After winding through a series of turns, they arrived at a stone chamber where several stone coffins were placed.
Hua Wu Que inquired for a while before walking to a stone coffin. He channeled his internal energy, pushing the lid open with his hands. He took a candle from the side and looked inside.
Xiao Long Nu didn’t know what he was up to. She was convinced that this person was a fool, and she stood aside watching him look around. Suddenly, she heard him shout, “Found it!” She was puzzled and walked towards him.
Walking closer, she saw Hua Wu Que looking up at her. “Long Jie, come and take a look.” He held the candle in his hand and pointed to the inside of the stone coffin.
Xiao Long Nu thought that although this person was a bit foolish, he wouldn’t hurt her. She didn’t suspect anything, and leaned forward to look. In the dim candlelight, she could barely make out a few large characters: “Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, surpassing all true arts. Chong Yang’s entire life, never weaker than anyone.”
