Chapter 552: Past
The sunlight shone through the dense leaves, leaving mottled shadows on the ground. Qingtong walked slowly, thinking about the recent news.
As a spy sent to Shenhuoshan Villa by Lady Poison, one of the Five Poisons of the South, she currently rarely sends any intelligence to Lady Poison. Even if she does send some information, it is basically all false.
In the past, when she sent some information that was of little value, the South Country would always send her very harsh words, always urging her to do her job well, otherwise she would bear the consequences.
In short, it was a very threatening statement.
But Qingtong didn't care too much about these threats.
But recently, the Southern Kingdom has not sent any messages to me for several months, and there are no harsh words or threats.
It seemed as if he had forgotten the existence of her as a spy.
This made Qingtong feel vaguely uneasy, and she subsequently told her master about these anomalies.
The master also took this matter very seriously, thinking that the Poison Lady of the South might be doing something, so he told her not to go out recently to avoid any danger.
Obviously, the owner is concerned about his own safety first.
But Qingtong didn't want to keep the potential threat with her master. She cared more about her master than herself, so she wanted to lure the snake out of its hole.
The owner did not agree at first, but after I persisted in asking many times, the owner finally agreed that I could only go out once a day and I needed to be on guard.
Qingtong was very happy about this.
She knew that she was now her master's exclusive household demon. In the eyes of outsiders, she had a very high status in her master's side. If the Poison Lady knew this, she would definitely come looking for her.
Qingtong knew that if she went out like this, it would be very dangerous if she met the Poison Lady, but she... didn't care.
Rather than bringing danger to her master, she would rather eliminate the source of danger from herself. She was originally an inconspicuous little demon like a roadside weed. Her life was miserable and dark. She had only suffered from day and night weaving work and beatings. Only when she came to her master, she received the care that belonged to her. It was also the first time she felt the feeling of being cared for and being taken seriously.
These warm things are far more important than life.
Even if it costs her life, she will protect it.
But I have been going out like this every day for several months, and there has been no movement, and no one has looked for me.
This made Qingtong doubt whether she was overthinking it.
"Perhaps, that poisonous lady has never cared about a little demon like me."
Qingtong walked while thinking silently that in the eyes of Poison Lady, she was just one of the many unknown little demons. She didn't even have a name, only a cold number '12580'.
Perhaps, the Poison Lady had already forgotten the existence of this little demon.
Although being ignored may seem a little uncomfortable, it may also be good news.
"12580, it's been a long time."
Just when Qingtong felt that she might be ignored by the Poison Lady and even forgotten about the existence of this little demon, a slightly indifferent voice sounded behind her.
The familiar voice made Qingtong's body tremble instinctively. The instinctive fear from the past made Qingtong almost subconsciously kneel on the ground and bury her face in the ground.
But at this moment, Qingtong bit her lips tightly, and stood on the ground with her legs straight. At this moment, she did not dare to bury her face deeply in the ground as she did in the past, not even daring to raise it a little.
At this moment, she turned around, raised her head, and her eyes fell stubbornly on a figure that suddenly appeared behind her.
It fell on this figure that I had never dared to look directly at before.
From the poisonous lady of the past who made people feel terrified at the first sight
But at this moment, although his body was still vaguely controlled by his past instincts and felt fear, his heart suddenly felt less afraid.
"Poison Lady."
Qingtong bit her lip and looked at the other person quietly.
Poison Lady was slightly stunned. She had obviously never thought that the other party would dare to call her by her name. Even at this moment, when he saw her, he did not kneel down, but stood there straight.
Although he felt the other person's body trembling slightly, the look in his eyes when he looked at him no longer contained the fear and submission of the past, but instead had a hint of stubbornness.
This made Poison Lady suddenly realize, was this still the little demon she had seen in the past? The little demon in her memory who was always trembling and lying on the ground, not even daring to raise her head.
"'12580', you've really improved! You even kneel down to greet your master."
Poison Lady spoke with a cold face, somewhat shocked by the other party's change.
"I now have a name, Qingtong. I am no longer a little demon under your command with only a number, nor am I a little demon under your command that you can kill at will."
Qingtong gritted her teeth slightly. Even though she had received the warmth from her master now, she still could not forget those dark years in the past.
I can't forget the endless work day and night in the dark cave.
I can’t forget that dark period of life when I couldn’t see the way forward.
If she had not been rescued by her master, she might have become like a stray dog on the roadside, dying in the cold winter of some year, or being beaten to death by someone at will.
Qingtong cherishes everything she has now, and will not allow anyone to destroy her happiness, nor will she allow anyone to hurt her master.
Even if this person is the Poison Lady who makes her instinctively feel fear.
"Good, good, good. It's really a trip out. My wings have grown fat. I don't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is."
Poison Lady was angry. No matter how high Qingtong's status was in Shenhuoshan Villa, she was still a little demon after all, and she couldn't kill her at will.
However, in addition to anger, Poison Lady felt vaguely uneasy, especially since the other party knew that she could kill him with ease, but was still so calm and even dared to face her.
Aren’t you afraid that you will take action immediately?
Thinking of this, he became alert and immediately took action to snatch Qingtong away and leave this place immediately.
However, just as he was about to move, he suddenly turned back as if he had sensed something.
I didn't know when, there was a person standing behind me, a person who looked ordinary and seemed to pose no threat.
But at this moment, Poison Lady felt her hair stand on end and cold sweat soaked her back unconsciously. If the person was really harmless, how could he get close to her without her noticing?
What's more, she also recognized the other person's identity.
Su Mu, the man who killed Du Fuzhi, is also a sword genius of the younger generation who has recently risen in the Dao League. Even Wang Quanye, the number one swordsman in the world, the Wang Quan family, is not as good as him.
