Chapter 501 Conjoined Induction
Chapter 501 Conjoined Induction
Shi Rong realized that humans could not defeat monsters, and Du Wu was so cautious from the moment she stepped into the mirror space.
She transformed herself into a person sitting in a carriage and deliberately threw dirty water on her coat, just to test her sincerity. In terms of being meticulous, she was no match for him.
"You're quite astute."
This was the only compliment Shi Rong could express to him after careful consideration.
Du Wu shook his head, watching the performance of Bo Fan and Bian Fei on the stage, while enjoying the refreshing fragrance surrounding Shi Rong.
"If I were truly smart, the person waiting here for 2000 years wouldn't be Yu Qing, but you."
After a pause, Du Wu slightly tightened his grip on Shi Xing.
"Instead of blaming men for being fickle, why not look in the mirror and take a look at yourself. No man in this world can resist your charm, unless he has a problem with his sexual orientation."
Shi Rong was completely shocked!
It was just a few hours of contact in the mirror space, but he was able to learn from her memories that she was a modern person who did not belong to the ancient times.
How can you learn new words so easily?
He speaks Mandarin much more fluently than Du Su and Chu Ji. How could he do that?
Isn’t that the end?
Shi Rong now just felt a headache. Du Wu was obviously much more difficult to deal with than the previous two monsters.
After the song was over, Du Wu raised his hands and clapped for them a few times. He tilted his head and looked at Shi Rong with affection.
"I'm in the palace bedroom. I've prepared a table of your favorite food and wine. Would you like to have some with me?"
Palace?
Bedroom?
Shi Rong still remembered what the old demon did to her on the bed when she killed Chu Ji.
She wanted to ask if she could not go, but before she could open her mouth, Du Wu got there first.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, nor will I force you. I'm not my brother, and I'm not Chu Ji."
He extended the back of his delicate fingers and gently brushed the outline of Shi Rong's face.
"I know you're here to kill me. The silver scimitar dagger with a pink jade coral handle hidden in your sleeve is a magical weapon that can suppress me."
After hearing this, Shi Rong's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Not only did she not act like the real person, but he also easily saw through the purpose of her trip.
"Do you believe in the conjoined connection between brothers? When you killed Du Su with your own hands, I knew there was no escape tonight."
"It's a pity that you didn't kill me first, but chose Chu Ji instead. Is it enough for you women to have a good appearance?"
Shi Rong was speechless. What kind of jealous nonsense was this?
She went to Chu Ji first because the seal on his bronze mirror had cracked.
Du Wu couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he just put down the palm that was stroking her cheek and turned it upwards again.
"Give me the dagger."
Shi Rong sighed resignedly. It seemed that if he wanted to successfully kill Du Wu, he would have to spend a long time here.
Wouldn't the monster imprison her for this?
Noticing Bo Fan and Bian Fei, Shi Rong had the urge to fight him, but he shook his head. With Du Wu's cautious and reckless style of doing things, a hard fight would only result in both sides suffering.
After thinking about it, Shi Rong finally compromised. She slipped out the dagger Xie Yixiu gave her from her sleeve and placed it in Du Wu's palm, intact.
The latter lowered his eyes and took a glance. On the pale pink jade coral handle, which felt wonderful, was engraved a vivid picture of a dragon colt and a phoenix chick.
The scimitar is about half the length of an adult's forearm, with a sharp blade that flashes with a cold and intimidating light.
Du Wu laughed at himself, a look of sadness appeared on his face, and then quickly disappeared.
He transformed the scimitar and dagger into a white mist and put them away. The terrible thing was, his movements were so fast that Shi Rong couldn't see clearly. Where on earth did he hide the magic weapon?
While she was still searching for a strategy to deal with him, Du Wu suddenly stood up, picked her up and carried her horizontally, and walked towards the towering palace not far away.
Shi Rong was startled and just stretched out her little hand to grab the collar of his shirt on his shoulder.
Then he gave orders to Miao Man and the other two who were still standing there in a daze.
"Come in, have a rest and have some tea."
He is quite thoughtful!
The three of them exchanged glances privately, then took a step forward without thinking and followed.
When I entered the magnificent and prosperous palace, I saw that there was no one here, only rows of royal flags fluttering in the wind.
Shi Rong couldn't help but feel curious. Where had all these people gone? Could it be that Du Wu, a king of such high status, didn't need anyone to serve him?
"Before you came, I had already sent them away. Sooner or later, they will all die. I just want to be alone with you before I die. The time left is short, and I don't want to be disturbed by outsiders."
Shi Rong raised her watery eyes and looked at the old demon who was answering her questions. His words at this moment were filled with unexpected sadness.
There is a kind of calmness as if life and death have long been disregarded.
After entering the bedroom, Shi Rong was placed on a low stool beside the cedar dining table by Du Wu, and he sat down opposite her.
Shi Rong looked around and saw the existing decoration style in the house, simple and elegant gray and pink silk cloth matched with pure white gauze.
On the tree branch pergola placed against the rock wall, there are various antiques and cultural relics from the Warring States Period, which are obviously priceless at first glance.
Whether it is the gilded table top or the carved couch, they are all made of precious and rare nanmu wood. Although the style is rather dim, it also has a unique rustic beauty.
"This is my first time cooking for others. Please try it."
On the table in front of me, the dishes served on mother-of-pearl plates are mostly basic in presentation, without any fancy colors or decorations.
There are chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, meat, seasonal vegetables, fresh fruits and mushrooms. It doesn’t look particularly appetizing, but it smells delicious.
Du Wu picked up a piece of roasted lamb with chopsticks and placed it on the jade plate next to Shi Rong.
"Eat."
Shi Rong followed his instructions and picked up the bamboo chopsticks, which were slightly longer than ordinary tableware. He picked up the small piece of meat with the tip of the chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew.
It is cooked to the right degree, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, neither salty nor bland, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, without the strong fishy smell of mutton. One bite and your mouth will be filled with juice.
"It's delicious. You said it was your first time cooking. Didn't you ever cook for Yuqing before?"
Du Wu smiled and raised his jade hand slightly. A eunuch-looking subordinate appeared outside the door, serving Miao Man and the other two who were sitting at the edge of two tea tables.
Serve hot tea and several plates of precious royal snacks.
He said he wanted to be alone with Shi Rong, but out of respect for others, he brought them in together.
"There are so many people around her who are willing to study hard for her and become culinary masters with superb cooking skills. For example, Chu Ji, he is the one who cooks the best among us."
Du Wu picked up the double-handled wine cup filled with nectar, which was made of gold and copper and engraved with cloud patterns of fortune and luck.
"The only drawback is that Yuqing can't drink. She hates the smell of alcohol, which is completely different from you."
