Chapter 216 Chu 9 didn't want to see him, he knew

As soon as she finished speaking, not only Chu Jiu, but also Mo Xinglan and Chu Furong were stunned.

Mo Xinglan's eyes gradually became cold and flashed with a chilling light.

Chujiu opened his eyes wide, pointed at himself in disbelief and repeated: "You... like... me?"

The girl nodded affirmatively without hesitation, and the burning passion in her eyes turned into a hint of evil charm: "Yes, I like you. So, according to the custom of our Manzani Prairie, if you like someone, you have to fight with him. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it?"

Hearing this, Chujiu's mouth twitched.

What kind of custom is this? If you like someone, you have to beat them up. It's really prairie-like.

Wait, she said, prairie? Manzanilla prairie?

In doubt, he asked, "What's your name?"

The girl then remembered that she had forgotten to tell her her name, and suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, my name is Delia Garcia, the youngest daughter of the Lord of the Manzani Prairie."

After a pause, she smiled mysteriously and said, "If you think this name is too long and troublesome to call, you can also call me another name."

"Another one?" Chujiu muttered to himself. He had a premonition in a trance.

The girl opened her red lips and said, "Xiao, Xiao."

After hearing this, Chujiu's eyes widened in disbelief. He opened his mouth to speak but didn't know what to say.

His lips trembled for a long time before he managed to utter two words: "Xiao...Xiao."

"Yeah." Xiao Xiao smiled at her with curved eyebrows.

"..." Chujiu only realized at this moment that this was really Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao had known it was her from the beginning and deliberately said this to her.

She was not angry but so excited that she didn't know what to say or what expression to use.

In the end, there was only a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was rarely gentle.

Mo Xinglan, who had been paying attention to her, froze when he saw this. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

She had never expressed this to him before. What on earth was it about him that made her unhappy?

At this time, Xiao Xiao once again proposed to compete with Chu Jiu: "According to our rules, if you win, I will go with you, but if I win, you have to go with me. How about it, Xiao Jiu, how about a competition with me?"

Seeing that she looked serious and didn't seem to be faking it, Chujiu didn't understand what she meant. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay..."

"I'll compete for her." Before she finished her words, a clear young voice was heard.

After a pause, he looked sideways, only to see Mo Xinglan staring at Xiao Xiao expressionlessly.

What does he want to do?

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, as if he had just noticed his existence, and looked him up and down.

Until I saw his pale face, I was not very optimistic: "You?"

After a pause, he continued, "This is a matter between Xiaojiu and me. What does it have to do with you? Why do you want to compete on behalf of Xiaojiu? Did Xiaojiu agree?"

The series of questions made Mo Xinglan's eyes gradually cold, but he quickly hid it. He said calmly: "You just said that you like her?"

"Hmm." She nodded.

Mo Xinglan smiled faintly: "That's a coincidence, I like her too. So, I think it's more appropriate for you to compete with me, after all..."

He paused, looked her up and down, and said sarcastically, "The one who wins is qualified to say he likes her."

With just one sentence, he successfully changed Xiao Xiao's opponent.

Xiao Xiao was not afraid at all. He raised the corner of his mouth, stood up and looked down at him: "Okay."

Anyway, no matter whether she wins or loses, she has already won.

After hearing this, Chujiu came to his senses and said quickly: "Not good, wait..."

She had only said half of her words when the two men went straight onto the stage, completely ignoring her words.

"Mo Xinglan!" She shouted at Mo Xinglan on the stage.

Compared with Xiao Xiao and the black-hearted monster, she is not worried about the black-hearted monster, but more worried about Xiao Xiao.

However, Mo Xinglan just glanced at her lightly, ignored her, and really started fighting with Xiao Xiao.

That look carried a hint of coldness and warning, which made her feel inexplicably panicked and she dared not say anything.

The two people on the stage had already exchanged dozens of moves. It couldn't be said that the fight was close, it was simply an overwhelming contest.

Although Mo Xinglan did not use his full strength and basically stood still without moving much, each of his moves was ruthless.

Not long after Chujiu returned to the room, Xiaoxiao came up to her and stayed in her room, chatting with her about how he came to this world.

According to the timeline, Xiao Xiao did come to this world three years ago. He did not know why his soul traveled through time and space, and he had the memories of the original owner, and practiced various things.

Chujiu asked her if she had a system gold ring or something, and Xiaoxiao said no. Xiaoxiao also asked Chujiu this question. But Chujiu secretly asked Piaomiao if she could tell, and Piaomiao's answer was no, so she had to say no.

But she and Xiao Xiao had such a good tacit understanding that Xiao Xiao understood with just one look and stopped talking about it. Even Piao Miao was fooled by the two.

Ever since meeting Xiao Xiao, as long as Chujiu doesn't think about Mo Xinglan, he is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, pulling Xiao Xiao around to talk about this and that, and go shopping here and there every day.

Xiao Xiao knew that her injuries had not healed yet, so he would always watch over her until she drank the medicine. He would never take her out to do anything exciting, but would just walk around, stop, look, and buy things.

The medicine that Chujiu drank was brewed by Chu Furong.

As for Mo Xinglan, after Chujiu recovered from her injury, she had been leaving early and returning late every day and had not seen him for many days. Another thing was that she deliberately avoided Mo Xinglan.

Mo Xinglan also had his own things to do. After meeting the old man before, he decided to start the next plan.

The old man's name is Wu Li, and he is the Demon Lord of the Western Demon Realm. The two rarely meet, but the place of each meeting is different.

Mo Xinglan needs to find out how many masters there are in this Piaomiao Domain and which ones are arranged by Mo Hengsong.

The other party has many people and is in the dark, so he must act cautiously. But Wu Li is a demon king after all, and he is a leader among the old guys in the entire Piaomiao Domain. It is no problem for him to investigate the incident. And he also has Liu Yue as a thug. It is rare for him to do it himself.

But after all, he was seriously injured, and it was common for him to be exhausted from running around all day. So he often didn't have much energy to look for Chujiu after returning to the inn. He would only look at him a few times in the middle of the night, and then leave quietly.

He knew that Chujiu didn't want to see him.

But one day, he couldn't help but follow Chujiu and found that someone was following them in secret.

That day he followed her, and the man in the dark didn't find a chance to act. He asked Liu Yue to follow the man in the dark to investigate the man's origins.

Later in the evening, I returned to the inn and learned from Liu Yue that it was Mo Mingjie who was behind this. There were several people following Chujiu, and they were an organization that specialized in assassinations.

Although there are administrators in Piaomiao Domain, there are always loopholes. There is no guarantee that those assassins will not kill people using moves that the administrators cannot see.

Mo Mingjie cannot move yet, because if the assassination organization is taken down like this, it will be easily exposed.

Suddenly his eyes turned cold. If that was the case, then he could only...

……

Day two.

That day, Chujiu and Xiaoxiao were walking in the corridor one after the other, preparing to go out.
