C235 Changes of Zhou Zhiruo
On this trip, his biggest gain was still the mutated Phantom Snake Emperor and snake gall, which allowed him to acquire the ability to be immune to poisons and low level illusions.
Other than that, the rest of the messy stuff was not as useful as Point Of Holy Origin in Lee Shi's eyes.
Lee Shi suddenly remembered the letter that Wanyan Tianzhao wrote to Waller.
The [Key] mentioned in the letter caught his attention.
The Taotang Duchy from before, seemed to be as if it had no strife with the world.
However, in recent years, not only did the Thunder Kingdom in the west be like a tiger watching its prey, even the various northern countries like Grand Duke Guo had their own strange movements.
If not for the fact that the east and south sides of Tao Tang were surrounded by the East Sea and the South Sea, the pressure on this small duchy would have been even greater!
They thought about how such a colossus of a continent like Netherworld and the Cangri Sect that had suddenly entered the Duchy. Even a devil sect like Demon Controlling Sect had secretly snuck into Tao Tang's territory.
For a small southeastern border country to attract the attention of so many forces at the same time!
Lee Shi couldn't help but think, could it be that some treasure in Tao Tang had been targeted?
Could it be the 'key' in the letter?
While Lee Shi was deep in thought with his eyes closed, Zhou Zhiruo had fallen asleep on the bed.
Lee Shi opened his eyes and saw Zhou Zhiruo's quiet sleeping posture.
Her elegant face was filled with serenity and comfort.
Lee Shi stared at Zhou Zhiruo quietly, but in his heart, there was only pity and no other evil thoughts.
He suddenly slapped his head, got up and pulled the blanket over himself, intending to cover Zhou Zhiruo with it.
Of course, at Zhou Zhiruo's level, she wouldn't be troubled by the minor ailment of a cold.
This was just Lee Shi's subconscious concern.
Maybe it was because Lee Shi was acting too quickly, but Zhou Zhiruo suddenly opened her almond-shaped eyes and woke up with a start.
When she saw the movements of Lee Shi's hands as well as the concern in his eyes that didn't have any impurities, her heart suddenly felt warm. She whispered: "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."
Lee Shi smiled and said, "Shall we go down and have a bite to eat?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhiruo immediately complied obediently.
"Ding dong!" "Congratulations to the Holy Spirit, Zhou Zhiruo's Loyalty, who has risen to 90."
Hearing Mei's voice, Lee Shi suddenly seemed to have thought of something.
Sometimes, what a woman needs is a little care.
Before leaving the inn, the shopkeeper said that he wouldn't take Lee Shi's money.
Lee Shi saw that the shopkeeper had suddenly become a bit nervous, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.
This scoundrel Zou Qi, was he trying to bribe him, the mayor?!
With a cold expression, he warned the shopkeeper, "Tell Zou Qi not to do such petty things. None of the punishments he deserves will escape!"
After saying that, he slammed the gold coin on the counter heavily!
Although the shopkeeper didn't know Lee Shi's identity, he was told by the mayor not to take their money.2
Now, seeing Lee Shi casually call out the mayor's name, he was immediately scared and repeatedly said yes as he watched the two of them leave.
After leaving the town, their relationship was much more normal.
Zhou Zhiruo no longer avoided Lee Shi. Occasionally, there were even some intimate actions. This made Lee Shi quite happy.
They continued to head north. After getting directions in Dali Town, they were about half a day away from Lee Shi's next target — Star River Town.
At his current speed, he should be able to make it before nightfall.
When they passed by a river, Zhou Zhiruo stopped to wash up and rest. However, she suddenly pointed at the river bank. "My lord, there seems to be a child there!"
Lee Shi looked over and saw a petite figure in a black dress lying motionlessly on the riverside less than 200 meters away from the two of them. Whether she was dead or alive was unknown!
