Chapter 222: The Martial Arts Demon Saint 7
Xiaoqing brought in the water and helped Jiang Yao take off her clothes.
Jiang Yao stepped into the bathtub. The water, which was a little warmer than normal temperature, felt very comfortable when it touched her skin.
Xiaoqing picked up Jiang Yao's waist-length hair, soaked it with warm water, and then washed it carefully with soap.
Jiang Yao used to refuse to be helped in taking a bath, but after being forced to try it once, she let go.
She leaned against the bathtub and sighed softly, her tone a little aggrieved: "Xiaoqing, after I go out, no one will help me wash my hair."
Xiao Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "Ordinary women would get married at this age, why is the Saint still acting like a child?"
Jiang Yao stirred up the water in the bathtub: "I am not an ordinary woman, and my father said that if I find a man I like, I can bring him back to be my husband."
At this point, her tone became lighter: "I can let you stay with me forever."
Xiao Qing's eyes softened when she heard this, and she said, "It is my honor to follow the Saint for the rest of my life."
Jiang Yao smiled and said in a sad tone: "But I may not live for more than a few years."
Xiao Qing paused rubbing her hair when she heard this. She said seriously, "No, the Saint will live well."
"People who are infected with the Heart-to-Heart Gu will not live more than 20 years." Jiang Yao said in a relaxed tone, "I have read a lot of classics before, and found that whether the Heart-to-Heart Gu can be cured or not, it seems to make no difference."
Xiaoqing couldn't help but tighten her hands that were holding the black hair. She wanted to say something, but was speechless.
What Jiang Yao said was true. All those who were planted with the Tongxin Gu would not live beyond twenty years. Xiaoqing also knew this, and even knew it earlier than Jiang Yao. Moreover, the more times the Tongxin Gu was activated, the shorter the life span of the person planted with it would be.
"But I have accepted my fate, it's just a pity." Jiang Yao said with a smile, "It would be a pity for someone like me not to be the leader of the martial arts world."
When Xiaoqing heard this, she fell silent.
Jiang Yao's talent is recognized by everyone in the Burning Heaven Sect as a peerless talent. Every elder who has taught her has praised her highly. If she were in a decent sect, she would probably have become famous all over the world.
Unfortunately, she is in the Demon Cult, and the Demon Cult wants to spread a bad reputation, which can only be accumulated by killing people.
Xiaoqing dried Jiang Yao's hair. When Jiang Yao came out of the bathtub, her face turned slightly red, but she still calmly wiped the water stains on Jiang Yao's body with a dry towel and put on underwear for Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao looked at Xiao Qing for a while, then smiled and hugged her: "Wait for me to come back."
The moment Xiaoqing was hugged by Jiang Yao, she froze for a moment, raised her hand and put it down again, and finally patted Jiang Yao's shoulder: "I will wait here for the Saint to come back."
Early the next morning, Jiang Yao took Chongli away from the Fentian Sect.
Gu Nanshan looked at Jiang Yao's back as she left, his eyes looking at a shadow in the dark. He left only after seeing the shadow following him.
The first thing Jiang Yao did after leaving Burning Heaven Sect was to go to the town under Burning Heaven Sect to eat and drink as much as she could, but...
The entire town is under the jurisdiction of the Burning Heaven Sect, and when they see her, they will even kindly ask her to go to Black Stone Town quickly.
Jiang Yao:......
Okay, then let’s go to another town and make plans.
Chongli followed beside her, always looking tense and wanting to hide under the eaves or the shade of trees from time to time.
If Jiang Yao hadn't held him back, he would have probably run away.
"Saint, I am a secret guard." Chongli wanted to tell Jiang Yao that the secret guards could hide in the dark and protect her.
"Then will you listen to me?" Jiang Yao didn't care about anything else and asked directly.
Chongli said without hesitation: "Listen."
"Very good." Jiang Yao raised her hand to pat Chong Li's head, but because he was too tall, she patted his shoulder instead. "Once we leave the city, take off your mask and be my personal bodyguard."
Upon hearing this, Chongli flatly refused: "Saint, I am a secret guard and cannot reveal my true appearance."
"Then will you listen or not?"
"listen……"
"Isn't that okay?"
"But……"
"No buts! I am the Saint, you are my secret guard, you have to listen to me, right?"
"right……"
How could Chongli possibly win the argument over Jiang Yao? As long as he absolutely obeyed this iron order, he could not disobey Jiang Yao.
However, when he thought about taking off the mask, Chongli couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.
Jiang Yao comforted him, "Chongli, no one has seen your appearance before. As long as you don't say you are a secret guard, who would know you are a secret guard, right?"
"No." Chong Li raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yao and said in a muffled voice, "The leader and the master have seen my appearance..."
Jiang Yao was speechless for a moment, and her desire to comfort Zhongli was gone. She raised her hand and patted Zhongli on the head, saying bluntly: "Stop whining, take off your mask when you leave the city!"
She rented a luxurious carriage with many secret compartments for books, fruits and snacks. It was also very soft to sit on, so as long as she rode the horse properly, Jiang Yao would not feel uncomfortable.
Then she took Chongli to buy several sets of clothes, one for herself and one for Chongli.
After the two left the city, things changed drastically.
Jiang Yao could tell from Chongli's eyes that he was handsome, but his appearance after he took off the mask made her whistle.
As if because he had not seen the sun for many years, Chongli's skin was very white, and his handsome face with red lips and white teeth seemed a little embarrassed because of discomfort. The boy had long eyelashes, which trembled uneasily at this moment, making him handsome and immature.
When Chongli heard Jiang Yao's whistle, his eyes widened in shock. Although he was not very experienced, he could hear the teasing and hooliganism in the whistle.
Jiang Yao clicked her tongue twice and raised her hand to pinch Chongli's cheek, but her hand was stopped halfway.
She struggled but failed to break free. She raised her eyebrows and said, "How dare you! Who allowed you to do this to this Saint...this Lady?"
Her voice was a little heavy. Chongli paused, loosened his hand, and immediately bowed his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, Saint, I have overstepped the line."
But he was obviously not convinced: "But...but men and women should not touch each other, please don't tease me, Saint."
His lowering of his head actually made it easier for Jiang Yao to move her hands.
Jiang Yao was not polite and directly pinched Chongli's cheek, squeezing and rubbing it.
After hearing what Chongli said, she snorted and said, "Chongli, you are wrong. When you go out, you have to call me Miss, understand?"
"Okay, miss, there shouldn't be any physical contact between men and women... well!" Chongli followed suit, but before he could finish his words, Jiang Yao pinched his mouth, making him like a duck, unable to speak.
Jiang Yao said seriously, "Zhongli, this is my punishment for you. As my personal bodyguard, you must obey me in everything. If you don't obey me, should I punish you?"
After hearing this, Chongli thought for a moment with his inexperienced mind and nodded hesitantly.
But after Jiang Yao let go of his mouth, he said stubbornly: "Miss, but men and women should not be intimate with each other, I think..."
Jiang Yao sighed, looked up and down at Chongli, and suddenly said, "Squat down!"
Chongli squatted down obediently, and then Jiang Yao slapped him on the back of his head and said arrogantly: "I don't care what you think, I care what I think. Why don't you go and drive instead of talking so much?"
