Chapter 232 Holding a Grudge
Jiu Jiu: [Oh, so you guys keep in touch privately too.]
Jiu Jiu: [So what were you trying to say just now?]
Mu Chen: [It's alright, it's alright]
Mu Chen: [I just wanted to say, be careful on your way home.]
Jiu Jiu: [What, did you plant a bomb on my way home?]
Jiu Jiu: [Be careful on your way home]
Mu Chen: [How could I dare? How could I bear to hurt you?]
Jiu Jiu: [That's more like it]
Jiu Jiu: [I'll text you when I get home]
Xiao Jiu put her phone in her pocket. She had just teased Brother Mu Chen and was in a good mood. Did they really think they could fool her? It's just that there are people of theirs nearby. They should just say so directly. Why are they being so secretive? They're not open at all.
If she were an ordinary person, she might not have noticed those people's presence, but she is not an ordinary person. How could she not sense the unfamiliar presence around her?
These people hadn't done anything to her, so she ignored them. Now, they were chatting with her one after another. What was the difference between this and self-destruction?
However, since neither of them said anything, and I didn't expose them, they wouldn't do anything bad to me. Even if they did want to do something to me, these people weren't qualified.
It's not that she looks down on the people of this world; it's just that she's not an ordinary person—she's a fairy!
Duan Qingchen was filled with anxiety, fearing that Jiu Jiu might know something. Although he had taken the blame for Ze Yi, he was still afraid that Jiu Jiu might not have believed him at all.
Xiao Jiu had no idea what Duan Qingchen was thinking. Even if she did, she would only think it was his own fault. It was something that anyone with eyes could see, and she still thought she could be fooled by his words.
"Is there really a way to get me home? What do you need me to do? I can do anything, just tell me what to do," Liu Mubai asked, seeing that she had finally put down her phone and stopped chatting.
"Let's talk at my place," Xiao Jiu said, glancing at the driver in front. She really thought this snake was brainless. But then again, snakes aren't as smart as foxes, since snakes spend so much time in the water, who knows if their brains get waterlogged.
"Oh, is your home far away? How much longer until you get there?" Liu Mubai truly lived up to Xiaotiandao's description of him as a chatterbox. Look at him, he looks so much like a quiet and reserved person, but once he opens his mouth, it really makes you want to poison him and make him mute.
How could a man talk so much? He didn't think that talking so much was out of character for his gentle and refined appearance. If he were to live in this world like this, he might not even be able to find a wife.
"You talk too much. If I say where I live, can you fly there or something?" Xiao Jiu rolled her eyes at Liu Mubai. How could a grown man have so much to say? Oh no, I should say how could a snake have so much to say?
"Boom..."
"Young master, the tire has blown out."
The driver was used to it and no longer made a fuss about it as much as before.
"Oh, then let's change the tire."
Liu Mubai knew this would happen, so they all had spare tires in their cars. He also figured out the pattern: a car will eventually have a tire blowout once. Once a tire has blown out and been replaced, it won't blow out again. If there's another problem, it's something else.
When Liu Mubai asked about the location, he wasn't just asking how far it was; he mainly wanted to know how long the car could last.
"Wuhu, are you really that unlucky?" Xiao Jiu didn't expect that he would get a flat tire after only traveling a short distance. Xiao Jiu had initially been skeptical when he told her that he was unlucky, wondering how unlucky he could be. But now it seemed that he really was unlucky.
"Would I lie to you? I'm used to this. Don't worry, it won't involve you." Liu Mubai and the other got out of the car. Fortunately, the driver often followed Liu Mubai and knew that this situation would occur, so he took a more secluded route.
It was designed to make it easier for them to repair their own vehicles. The car was equipped with all sorts of equipment to prevent such situations from happening on the way. Otherwise, the journey from Liu's house to here, which should have taken about two hours, would have taken them from 11 a.m. to 8 or 9 a.m. the next day.
It's not that they don't consider changing cars, it's just that there's no need for it; changing cars wouldn't make a difference.
Xiao Jiu and Liu Mubai got out of the car. Liu Mubai made the best of a bad situation by taking out two folding chairs for Xiao Jiu to sit and wait. The drivers who came out with Liu Mubai were all skilled at both driving and repairing cars.
Those who went out with Liu Mubai were all seasoned veterans, used to the unfortunate things that happened when they were with their young master, and they all had ways of dealing with them.
"You can't blame anyone else for this," Xiao Jiu thought of his connection with the Liu family and their unreliable ancestors. He couldn't really say that; he could only say it was karma.
If his ancestors hadn't left this world, they wouldn't have been born. Even if they had, they would have been just ordinary snakes, not like him now, with human form and magical powers.
However, he has no magic power or human form now, only a soul, which is quite pitiful.
"????"
Liu Mubai was filled with questions. What did this have to do with him? He had been dragged into this place for no reason, not only losing his snake form but also becoming a human. And to make matters worse, he was always so unlucky.
He's already so pitiful, and this fox is still kicking him while he's down.
"You've gone a bit too far. This isn't anyone else's fault, so why should I be blamed?"
Liu Mubai felt extremely wronged. It wasn't easy for him. In all his years, these past twenty years had been more difficult than the hundreds of years before. Before, at least he could cultivate or sleep and get through the time. Now, he had to wake up every day to eat and go to the toilet.
If a person doesn't wake up for a day, people will think there's something wrong with them and they'll have to go to the hospital for blood tests. They can tolerate not eating one meal, but if they don't eat for a day, two days, or three days, their body won't be able to take it. The same goes for not going to the toilet.
Compared to when he was a snake, there were far too many troubles, and he didn't like being human at all.
Even though he was unlucky, his family still arranged study tasks for him and arranged for a tutor to provide one-on-one tutoring. The tutors who came to tutor him were all used to his bad luck.
"It's all your fault, but you're the only one who's unlucky." Xiao Jiu saw that there were other people around, so she couldn't explain to him in detail the connection between him and his current body. But she wasn't wrong; it was the snakes' fault.
Snakes are no match for foxes. Xiao Jiu still holds a grudge against the snake for speaking ill of her, and she always tries to put them down in every situation.
Only in this way can I relieve my dissatisfaction.
"you you……"
Liu Mubai really wanted to argue with her, but then he remembered that his hope of getting home was still in her hands, and he couldn't make her angry again. What if she didn't take him home? Foxes hold grudges the most.
