Chapter 79: Celebrating A Little Too Early (1/2)

Meow ah! Lou Qingyun sure was like a cockroach. She had thought he was dead several times already, yet he survived!

Tang Doudou was rather happy to hear Lou Qingyun’s voice. The two were pretty much comrades that had gone through life or death trials and tribulations together. When she found out he wasn’t dead, she was delighted and hastily ran towards the voice.

“I thought you had already died. Your vitality sure is strong!” Tang Doudou exclaimed as she ran.

These words probably injured Lou Qingyun a little because he replied gloomily, “No better, no worse (than you)…”

However, he was heavily injured and so his words were completely weak. Tang Doudou laughed at him. “Who’s no better, no worse with you? I’m not injured at all. From the sound of your voice, even if you’re not dead, aren’t you pretty close?”

Lou Qingyun choked from her words and didn’t know what to say.

Tang Doudou didn’t waste time and reached Lou Qingyun in a few steps. As she took in his miserable appearance, she felt complete pity for him.

His clothes had been worn out to shreds and exposed the bruised skin under. There were even little Black Demonic Nightcrawlers hanging off some areas. Upon seeing this, Tang Doudou picked up some of the rice straw that was burning to the side and moved it towards those Black Demonic Nightcrawlers.

Lou Qingyun immediately opened his eyes and glowered at her. “What are you planning to do!?”

“If you don’t get rid of these Black Demonic Nightcrawlers, you’ll die!” Tang Doudou lifted the burning rice straw in her hand and moved it towards the Black Demonic Nightcrawler. She saw the bug withdraw backwards and exclaimed happily, “I think these little things are afraid of fire. Endure the pain a little, I’ll get them out. Rest for a while, then we can leave.”

“You’re going to save me?” Lou Qingyun looked at her, astonished. It was to the point that he didn’t even notice when Tang Doudou pressed the fire against his skin. “Even if you get rid of the Black Demonic Nightcrawlers, I still can’t move. If you leave me, you’ll definitely be able to get out. But if you bring me along, that won’t be certain.”

“Haa, even you’re saying that it’s not certain. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you behind.”

Tang Doudou started thinking, but her hands continued to move. In reality, she wasn’t that good-hearted. When she heard Lou Qingyun say that he couldn’t move, she also hesitated a little. However, on second thought, if she really watched with her own eyes as another living person died, especially if it was because she didn’t extend a hand to help, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly for the rest of her life.

When Lou Qingyun heard what she said, he was so moved he couldn’t even speak. Just as he was about to say some words of gratitude, he heard Tang Doudou continue. “Of course, the remuneration can’t be left out. An ordinary antique lamp already costs five thousand taels, so a person as big as you should probably be worth several ten thousand taels right? However, looking upon the fact that we’ve gone through trials and tribulations together, I’ll give you an appropriate discount when the time comes…”

“Several ten thousands? Why don’t you just rob me!?” Lou Qingyun was left speechless. He had actually thought her kindness had flared up. Turns out it was for the sake of money!

“The risk in robbing is too great, it’s not a suitable choice for people as civilized as me. Saving people is still better. Not only can you earn money, you can also boost your reputation.” As Tang Doudou chattered, she switched through several stalks of rice straws. Finally, she managed to get all the bugs off Lou Qingyun’s body. After stamping them to death, she lifted her head and asked Lou Qingyun, “What do you think about this deal? Isn’t it worthwhile? A couple ten thousand taels to trade for one human life!”

“You, this, you’re taking advantage of the fire to loot a burning house!” Lou Qingyun exclaimed weakly.

“That’s right ah, I am taking advantage of the fire to loot a burning house. Who asked God to have me take a wifey but not even possess the money to arrange the wedding matters? Aiy…” Tang Doudou sighed. “Alright, I’ve gotten all the bugs off for you. As for that deal, it just depends on you!”

Only then did Lou Qingyun notice that all the bugs on his arm had been gotten rid of. Quite a few black coal marks were left on his arm and there was even the scent of roasted meat. When he smelled that, Lou Qingyun became completely speechless. Did she directly roast the bugs along with his flesh!?

Luckily, he had long been hurt so bad that his senses had gone completely numb. Otherwise, he definitely would have fainted from the pain.

“You’re really going to marry Baili Yu?”

Wasn’t she acting pretty unwilling earlier on the streets?

“Since he’s sent himself to my door, isn’t it a waste to turn him out? Not to mention, since he’s becoming my bride, he has to give me a dowry, right?”

“Ahem, you sure are direct.” Lou Qingyun was speechless.

Tang Doudou rolled her eyes. Direct? As if! She just has no other alternatives ah!

Making it so that everyone thought she was doing it for the sake of Baili Yu’s money was also a good choice. It was perfect for covering up the fact that she had been poisoned by the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance…

“Lou Qingyun, yes or no? Give some response ah!” Upon seeing that Lou Qingyun wasn’t responding, Tang Doudou started urging him. The surrounding fire was growing bigger and bigger. Earlier the ground was too damp and so the fire wasn’t as strong, but after burning for a while, the heat had dried out a lot of the rice straw. If this continued on, this place was going to turn into a sea of flames.

Lou Qingyun gritted his teeth and said with a rather helpless tone, “Then I’ll have to trouble Alliance Head Li to bring me out.”

This is having a clear view of things! Tang Doudou smiled. In reality, even if he didn’t agree to it, she still would have brought him out. However, wouldn’t it be stupid not to seize a benefit when it’s laid out for you?

However, Lou Qingyun’s words were a little off ah!

Tang Doudou laughed ‘hehe’, then elbowed Lou Qingyun a little. “Then, how are we supposed to get up?”

Lou Qingyun blinked several times as he looked at her. When he saw that there wasn’t the slightest trace of insincerity in those sparkling eyes, he was completely speechless.

“You…”

“Hehe, doesn’t this require big Young Master Lou’s resourcefulness? You’ll come up with the idea and I’ll come up with the strength. Isn’t that a great combination?”

“How much money is Alliance Head Li prepared to pay for my idea?”

“Aiyah, don’t worry, don’t worry. Once we get out, this Alliance Head will definitely calculate it fairly. Lou gongzi will definitely be treated fairly! Right now, you had better think of an idea quick. Any longer and we’ll become roasted meat.”
