Chapter 276: The Fake Son

Lou Xiao was drowsy, as if he was asleep, but it also seemed as if his soul was still sitting there, vigilantly observing the situation around him.

She could feel the Gu in the cage not far away squirming, the black snake spitting out its tongue, and a poisonous lizard switched to another foot.

Everything around her was still in her consciousness. She seemed to be able to see herself lying flat on the wooden bed, even her eyelashes were clearly visible.

The door was opened from the outside with a click.

As the silver bells rang, the first foot that stepped in was wearing boots embroidered with colorful threads. The silver bells hanging from the coat made a cheerful sound as the footsteps collided.

A figure wearing gorgeous clothes that Qieyue Village had never seen before, with a tall hat on his head, which was also covered with small dangling accessories.

It also shimmers in low-light interiors.

The person who came had a clear purpose and came straight towards her.

He stood beside her as she slept, and looked at her for a long time with his hands in his sleeves.

"You fell asleep. My nice clothes are wasted." He smiled softly, hugged his chest and bent over, as if he was smelling her scent.

"If you weren't hers, I would definitely - oh no, that would be more fun."

The good dog could not bring back the person he wanted, so he had to come in person.

But she was not like those women who could be controlled by their looks alone. He was also very distressed and didn't know what to do.

He has never met a woman in his life who doesn't buy into his ideas.

Better...

He gathered up the corners of his clothes and sat beside her, one hand slowly approaching her collar.

"You should kneel down and thank me for my gift. If you dare to betray me in the future... I will never forgive you."

Before his slender fingers touched Lou Xiao's collar, a hand suddenly grasped his, like a steel tie, preventing him from moving forward or backward at all.

The man in fancy clothes' pupils shrank, and he tried to pull his hand away, but he saw the woman lying on the ground slowly opening her eyes.

There was no expression on her face, as if she was looking at him, but also as if not.

"you're awake?"

The man couldn't tell whether he was happy or surprised, he greeted her like he was an old friend.

It made it difficult for the confused Lou Xiao to figure out who the other person was.

"who are you?"

Lou Xiao always felt that the other person was somewhat familiar. The man in front of him had his hat pulled down, and a row of silver ornaments on his forehead almost blocked his eyebrows.

But you can still see the superiority of his facial features, which are much better than Qizi's.

The man's mouth curled up, with a hint of anger and a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"I am the Holy Son of Nanzi, and I have come here for sacrifice. Who are you, and why are you lying in a nine-story tower?

Could it be the thief who dared to steal the poison?"

Lou Xiao was a little dull, and he held his forehead and sighed, "I am just a Central Plains person who came to Qieyue Village to seek help. I was settled here by the high priest."

She glanced around, "Where's Anilan? Why is she gone?"

The "Son of God" in front of him lowered his eyes and looked at her tightly held hand. Lou Xiao immediately threw it away like a hot potato.

"I thought you were up to something..."

Of course a man who really wants to do something bad won't say that, he'll just make up an excuse.

"I saw you sleeping in such a dangerous place, and I thought you were injured. I was just being too sentimental."

He looked at Lou Xiao and said, "So he fell asleep."

He was sitting next to her, and Lou Xiao instinctively didn't want to get too close to him.

So he stood up and moved away from him, "Sir, why are you here? Are you looking for the high priest?"

The man brushed his cuffs, causing the silver ornaments on them to jingle.

He replied perfunctorily, "Yeah."

There is no intention to explain too much.

Lou Xiao kindly said, "The high priest is busy preparing for the sacrifice. You may be able to find her in the square.

Currently, only Anilan and I are in this nine-story tower, and now I don’t know where Anilan has gone.”

So you should leave quickly.

The man seemed not to understand her implication, "There's no rush, there's still a long way to go."

He was still sitting on the bed, looking sideways at Lou Xiao, "I haven't asked for the name of the heroine yet."

His half-smile looked mysterious and unpleasant. Lou Xiao blurted out his pseudonym without thinking.

"My name is Zhao Xiaolou."

He chuckled when he heard it and repeated the three words "Zhao Xiaolou". Lou Xiao inexplicably felt that he knew it was a pseudonym.

"Miss Xiaolou, nice to meet you."

He took the initiative to reveal himself without waiting for Lou Xiao to ask, "My name is Huang Zheng."

His name doesn't sound like a name of a Nanzhi person at all, but rather like... more like a name of a Central Plains person.

Lou Xiao was about to ask again when she heard a few whistles from outside.

This was the customary sound of the Jianghu, and sure enough, the other party stood up from the bed and said goodbye to her.

"See you next time, Lady Xiaolou. I hope you can get rid of the poison in your body and gain freedom by then."

After saying this, the figure was already standing at the door, opened the door and walked out.

Lou Xiao originally wanted to grab him and ask him how he knew that he had a Gu in his body. Could it be that everyone in Qieyue Village knew about it?

But she heard the footsteps of Anilan climbing up the stairs, and thought that since she came to participate in the sacrifice of Qieyue Village, she would stay in Qieyue Village until the sacrifice was completed.

There are opportunities.

Anilan's voice came from far away, as if he was arguing with someone. It was obvious that it was Qizhi.

"Don't say anything more! After this sacrifice, you go by yourself. I want to find someone new. I want to see if there are any new young men in other villages."

"Anilan, they are not as good as me. Have you forgotten the good times we had together..."

Qizi was still trying to make amends with her, not wanting her to find someone else.

Anilan was not easy to coax, "I thought I was the best, but you slept outside the village. Leave me alone!"

After all, she was going to be the future high priestess, so how could she listen to a man?

Anilan said as he stepped into the room, pushed Qizhi who was about to come in, and closed the door with a snap.

Only Qizi was left outside the door, begging in a low voice.

Anilan said, "Hey," and grumbled, "I can't be without a man!"

Lou Xiao laughed out loud, and Anilan turned his attention to her.

"You woke up? So soon? I haven't done anything yet!"

She rushed forward to check her pulse. "It seems that ordinary poisons can't really do anything to you. It doesn't have much effect."

Seeing Qizhi standing at the door and still unwilling to leave, Lou Xiao gave Anilan some advice.

"Just now a man came to participate in the sacrifice. I think he looks good, better looking than him. How about you go look for him after the sacrifice is over?"

Anilan was stunned at first, then agreed readily, "Okay, okay, what's his name?"

After Lou Xiao reported her name, she saw Qi Zhi walking away dejectedly.

When there were only two people left, Anilan asked, "Which village is this from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Lou Xiao wondered, "Your Nanzi's Holy Son."

"Nanzi doesn't have a holy son." Anilan said doubtfully, "In Nanzi, both the chief priest and the village chief are women."

No Son?

So who did she just see?
