C824 The Body Disappeared
The dishes brought back this time were much more sumptuous than the previous meal. Although it was not as good as the dishes made with heavenly treasures or demon beast meat in the Delight Restaurant, it was still delicious.
Looking at the dishes, Wu Qiao'er's saliva could not help but flow out. The fragrance lingered around the tip of her nose. In addition, he had been hungry for a long time, so his stomach immediately began to grumble.
"If you are hungry, then hurry up and eat. There are so many of them that they are all yours." Ye Hong Tian said with a smile.
Thinking that Ye Hong Tian was laughing at his stomach, Wu Qiaoer glanced at Ye Hong Tian and sat down on the stool next to the table to eat.
In front of Ye Hong Tian, Wu Qiaoer didn't care about her eating manners at all, as if she completely abandoned her status as the Seventh Princess of the Lie Yun Kingdom and wolfed down her food.
After a short while, more than half of the dishes on the table had been eaten by Wu Qiaoer. The speed at which she ate made Ye Hong Tian think that Wu Qiaoer was a beggar who had been hungry for several days.
"Burp! So full, so full. I have never eaten like this in the Palace before." Wu Qiao'er rubbed her slightly bulging belly and said.
Seeing Wu Qiao'er's actions, Ye Hong Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Although I can help you buy time to live as a civilian in the city, no matter what, you are still the Seventh Princess. You have to pay attention to your own image. Otherwise, if the Crown Prince suddenly came to visit you and saw this scene, he would kill me. "
As he spoke, Ye Hong Tian began to clean up the leftovers on the table. When he finished packing, he went out to see that the sun had already set.
Staring at the sun that slowly disappeared into the horizon, Ye Hongtian revealed a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he frowned.
"It is getting late. I will let Bai... Fox play with you for a while. You can wash up and rest. I suddenly remembered that there are some things I need to settle, so I will go out and lie down first." Ye Hong Tian turned around and said.
After saying that, he took out Bai Xueyan, who was hiding in his clothes. Bai Xueyan naturally heard what Ye Hongtian said and struggled madly. She didn't want to stay with Wu Qiaoer, so she used sound transmission to resist Ye Hongtian.
"Don't leave me here. I don't want to be with this woman. I want to be with you."
Just like that, Bai Xueyan struggled for a quarter of an hour. Eventually, Ye Hongtian saw that Bai Xueyan was really scared of Wu Qiaoer, so he could only put her on his shoulder helplessly.
"Looks like this fox is really sticking to me. You should rest early. I really have to go do something. Protect yourself and don't run around."
After saying that, Bai Xueyan who was on his shoulder got into his clothes. She showed an apologetic look to Wu Qiaoer when she couldn't leave Bai Xueyan behind. She turned around and left the house and jumped out of the General Ye's Estate.
Wu Qiaoer was bored. She stood at the door and looked at Ye Hongtian who was leaving. Then she snorted and closed the door, preparing to rest.
After leaving the General's House, Ye Hongtian jumped up a few times and arrived at the place where he had killed the first watchman. After landing on the ground, Ye Hongtian looked around with a serious look on his face.
After making sure there was no one around, Ye Hongtian walked to the place where the first watchman's body was. However, there was no body there. Only a big pool of blood was left after the first watchman was killed.
Staring at the pool of blood on the ground, Ye Hongtian rubbed his chin and murmured, "The blood on the ground was not processed, but the corpse was taken away. It seems that the people from the Prime Minister Qi's House came to collect the corpse."
Because Ye Hong Tian killed the first watchman to chase after other people, he did not deal with the corpse and blood stains. This time, he left the General Ye's Estate to deal with the corpse of the first watchman he killed.
Since the corpse had been taken away, Ye Hong Tian did not intend to investigate further here. He attached the trace of soul power he could use to his eyes and looked at the surrounding ground, walls, and everything. He turned it into detailed data and recorded it in his mind. Then he used the Concept of Water to create a water ball to wash away the blood stains on the ground. One. With a flash, he disappeared from where he stood.
Returning to General Ye's residence, Ye Hongtian sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and recalled the information he had just used his soul power to memorize. It didn't take long for him to know the situation at that time.
"It seems that I was careless and only paid attention to the nearby areas. I didn't pay attention to the ones in the distance. The twelve martial artists that gathered here are probably just a small team used by the Prime Minister Ye's residence to assassinate me. The one who took the corpse away should be the small team responsible for observing my movements in the distance. This time, we have alerted the enemy. " Ye Hong Tian covered his forehead and said.
While thinking about how to deal with the assassins who would appear in the vicinity of the General's Estate from time to time, he muttered to himself, denying some of the plans in his heart.
Just at this moment, a wave of rustling sounds came from Wu Qiao'er's room, and it instantly interrupted Ye Hong Tian's thoughts.
"Is this... bathing? Speaking of which, it seems like it has been a long time since I last bathed in this body. Although we martial artists cultivate to purify the dirt on our bodies, it is still too early for me to do so. If I don't take a bath, I will still feel very uncomfortable." Ye Hong Tian muttered.
Since he thought of taking a bath, Ye Hong Tian immediately jumped back to the room next door. He took out a big wooden bucket from the room and put it in the yard. He used the Concept of Water and the Concept of Fire to make a big bucket of hot water.
He quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the bucket, causing a lot of water to spill out.
"Ha, comfortable! As expected, I need to take a shower to make my heart feel better." Ye Hong Tian laughed in the bucket.
As soon as he finished, his smile froze on his face. At the place where he had just thrown his clothes, Bai Xueyan stuck her head out of his clothes and looked at him.2
Although Bai Xueyan was in the form of a fox, Ye Hong Tian's face turned red when he thought about how the fox could transform into a human. He quickly sat down in the bucket.
"Sorry, I forgot you were still in your clothes. Go to your room and rest." Ye Hong Tian turned around and said.
After he finished speaking, there was no sound from behind him for a long time. This made Ye Hongtian think that Bai Xueyan had already left and he couldn't help but sigh in relief.
But just as he let out a sigh of relief, a pair of delicate and white hands rested on his shoulder, causing his body to tremble.
"Bai... Bai... Bai Xueyan... didn't I tell you to go back to your room and rest?" Ye Hongtian said nervously.
However, after he said this, the hands on his shoulder did not have any intention of moving away. Instead, it seemed to be grabbing his shoulders tightly.
After a while, he actually felt some pain on his shoulders. He couldn't help but frown and look back.
He originally thought that these hands were Bai Xueyan's hands, but when he turned his head, he realized that the person who grabbed his shoulders was not Bai Xueyan. It was actually a man he did not recognize!
"Holy crap!"
Upon seeing this person's appearance, Ye Hongtian could not help but curse. With a wave of his hand, he sent the person flying.
