Chapter 22 (1/2)
After killing Chen Pu, Chen ShaoBai looked at An Zheng.
Later on, Chen ShaoBai decided not to kill An Zheng. He did not want to kill An Zheng because he did not know if what An Zheng had said was just him showing off or if it was the truth. Chen ShaoBai could feel how creepy An Zheng was now. He also understood why An Zheng had fed the kitten with the crystal stone of the devil beast in front of him. Due to the kitten, Chen ShaoBai did not dare to act without carefully considering.
– “Had you planned everything carefully?”
Chen ShaoBai asked.
An Zheng shook his head:
– “I am not G.o.d, and I am not the legend Emperor of the f.u.xi Dynasty either. How could I have carefully planned like that? It was only due to my habits. I always prepare many things ahead no matter if they are useful or not. How about you? What kind of person are you? Only I know that you have left the Value a.s.sembly Courtyard, and only I know that you want to join a secret sect. Therefore, you want to kill me to shut me up.”
Chen ShaoBai said:
– “I hope that until we say goodbye, you will forget that I had wanted to kill you today.”
An Zheng did not say anything.
Chen ShaoBai asked:
– “Don’t you really want to go with me? Although you cannot practice now, you will also be able to do so if you have fate for Cleansing the Marrow. There are always no closed doors. You just need to try, and then everything can change.”
An Zheng smiled a bit:
– “Don’t talk nonsense. I will never follow you. I know your origins clearly. Once you arrive in that sect, I will be your object to bully.”
Chen ShaoBai laughed out loud. He clearly had no sorrows:
– “An Zheng, don’t die nonsensically because in the future, you may be my compet.i.tor, and not a bad compet.i.tor at that. Don’t let me pa.s.s you too far, or I will feel that it’s not interesting to kill you when we meet again.”
Having finished speaking, Chen ShaoBai turned back and left.
Waiting for him to disappear for after a while, An Zheng turned down and held the kitten in his arms. He petted the kitten and said:
– “You're very good. I was even about to be cheated. Although you have just eaten some crystal stone of the devil beast, you are still a kitten.”
The white kitten said meow once with little arrogance.
– “Show yourself! I know you are hiding from me. Qian Men has many secrets, but you are pretty good at hiding.”
An Zheng had just finished speaking, Zhong JiuGe was ashamed. He showed up from behind a great tree:
– “You know, I am not his opponent. Therefore, when he took action on Du ShouShou, I could only choose to hide. However, I insisted on following him in the hopes that I could have rescued Du ShouShou. An Zheng. I hope you will forgive me.”
– “How could it be?”
An Zheng said:
– “You do me a favor. Qian Men has a basic skill which is in disguising. Now you look at that dead person clearly, and then you disguise yourself as him. Are there any problems?”
Zhong JiuGe nodded hurriedly:
– “Disguising is just child's play. For Qian Men, it is as easy as eating breakfast. Give me some time and I a.s.sure you that even his wife cannot recognize him.”
Zhong JiuGe moved to the corpse of Chen Pu and looked at it carefully. He took a small bag from his chest and opened it. Inside the bag were some small jars. He opened the jar, and then he applied it on his face. About 10 minutes later, he stood up and looked at An Zheng:
– “So, is it good?”
An Zheng thought for a bit and said:
– “The brows should be upwards a little. Eyes are the most important. However, this can’t be helped. It’s lucky that it is dark now, and the Chen Pu men are busy with many things. Therefore, they will not doubt you.”
Zhong JiuGe took out a set of clothes in the back, and then he looked at the clothes which Chen Pu was wearing:
– “This is the Thousand Transforming Attire of the Qian Men. Although it is not seen as treasure, it took the Qian Men's predecessors thousands years to create it. This outfit can change color and form. It is a useful weapon to cheat people on the outside.”
An Zheng used to see this item, so he was not too surprised at the Qian Men’s stuffs.
Zhong JiuGe had worn the clothes, and then he asked:
– “What’s next?”
An Zheng said:
– “Let’s check Chen Pu's body. There must be some keys. Such a person like him will surely keep something precious with him. After that, you go to the Chen family and think about a solution to find the holly stones. Chen family’s properties are many times bigger than the Great Bandits Hall. Remember carefully! When you go there, you must keep calm. Don’t be hasty. If you cannot find out the Chen family’s treasure storage, you should tell the servants ‘I will follow you to the treasure storage’, and then you just need to follow him.
– “I don’t care how many items you pick. I and Du ShouShou just need 24 holly stones.”
An Zheng said:
– “The rest of them will be yours.”
Zhong JiuGe took a deep breath:
– “Riches and honors come from danger. An ye, I'll go now.”
Waiting until Zhong JiuGe left, An Zheng dug a hole to bury Chen Pu’s body. He saw that Du ShouShou was still unconcious without any injuries. He found a robe and tied Du ShouShou’s left hand tightly. After that, he based on the moon's shadow on the main street to find some chicken s.h.i.+t in order to apply it on Du ShouShou’s right hand. He squatted next to Du ShouShou and used the chicken feathers to tickle Du ShouShou’s nose.
For a while, Du ShouShou felt itchy in his nose. He scratched his nose by his left hand. However, his left hand was tied, so it could not move. Therefore, he scratched with his right hand, and slapped the chicken s.h.i.+t on his face.
An Zheng laughed out loud.
Du ShouShou woke up due to a terrible smell. He opened his eyes and got surprised:
– “What happened? – An Zheng, are you ok?”
An Zheng slapped Du ShouShou’s shoulder:
– “I’m ok, good brother!”
– “Why is it smelly here?”
