Chapter 103
Time flies. Spring turned to autumn with a snap of the fingers, and the green trees began to age, while Murong Yunshu''s good mood was just starting.
For the past three months, Murong Yunshu was treated like a distinguished guest of the Five Poisons Sect. She was enjoying the treatment of the Empress Dowager, which was no worse than her time at Murong Mansion.
But her cloudy mood had turned sunny sincest night. This morning, to be precise, after all, once midnight had passed, it was the next day.
Thinking ofst night, Murong Yunshu could not help smirking and giggling while looking at the scroll in her hands.
The maids standing on the left and right side of the room, who served and guarded Murong Yunshu, looked at each other. Why was she smiling? Both of them were bewildered. They couldn''t understand why Murong Yunshu wasughing inexplicably. If that smile were on anyone else''s face, they still would have thought they had met a psychopath. But the two maids didn''t let this question confuse them for long because they had already seen it and were used to being uninformed passers-by. After all, some issues were really beyond the ability of people in their position to figure out. For example, both of the couples were captives. But why was Chu Changge being imprisoned while Murong Yunshu was able to drink tea, read books, write and paint all day long like she was on holiday?
At first, they didn''t dare to ask questions. Later, after getting acquainted with Murong Yunshu, they began to ask her some questions, but her answers were always so iprehensible that they couldn''t understand them and became even more confused. Then, they simply stopped asking questions and let the questions rot in their belly as they listened to the arrangement of the Heavenly Maiden.
"Miss Murong, what would you like to eat for lunch?" The maid in white asked.

Murong Yunshu put down the book, thought about it, named a few dishes, and added at the end, "And a jar of agedHua DiaoWine."
The maid in white looked at the maid in ck with surprise. Was this considered an abnormal condition, as the Holy Maiden had said?
The maid in ck also looked puzzled. "Is Miss in a bad mood?" She heard that if a person who never drank suddenly drank, it was mainly because they were in a bad mood.
"No. I''m in a good mood." Murong Yunshuughed.
"Then why do you want to drink?"
"To celebrate."
"Celebrate what?"
"A happy event."
The maid in ck wanted to continue to ask ''what happy event'', but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back. It was not that she suddenly lost her curiosity. Even if she asked, she would not get an answer.
"This handmaiden will tell the kitchen to prepare." The maid in ck winked at the maid in white. They went out of the yard in tandem and muttered outside.
Murong Yunshu took a good look at their movements and smiled faintly. Then she picked up the scroll and began to be in a daze.
Her thoughts flew, andst night scene came back to her mind
Between half asleep and half awake, she suddenly heard someone calling her name. It was very light and soft. It was calling her, but it was cautious not to wake her up. The sound of the voice was very contradictory, switching between low and high, making it faintly discernible.
Murong Yunshu tried desperately to open her eyes, but she could not resist her heavy sleepiness. Thus, she was unable to open them.
After a while, the voice suddenly stopped calling her name and murmured to itself, "Never mind. Sleep in peace. I''ll see you tomorrow night."
Well, let''s talk about it tomorrow night.Murong Yunshu thought this in her mind. She stopped struggling, tugged at the nket and went back to sleep.
Half a secondter, she sat up with a jerk, no longer feeling sleepy.
That voice just now was clearly Chu Changge''s!
"Chu Changge, is that you?" Murong Yunshu asked in a low voice while looking excitedly towards the door and window, expecting that he had not gone far. Sure enough, he was standing in front of the window, with his back to her. He was about to jump but paused when he suddenly heard someone shout for him. His movement halted at the moment he was tiptoeing and waving his hands, which looked a bitical to her.<strong>[+]</strong>
Murong Yunshu couldn''t helpughing and asked, "How long do you n to stand like that?"
Chu Changge kept his original posture and rotated 180 degrees. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her as he said, "Until youugh out loud."
Murong Yunshu was startled by ''something'' that suddenly caught her eyes. It wasn''t that she wasughing at him on purpose, but the way he looked now, it was hard for her not tough.
"There." Chu Changge withdrew his hands and feet. He was d she finallyughed in an absolute sense. These days, although he was locked in a dungeon, he knew her situation like the back of his hand. Knowing that she was depressed all day long, he wanted to break out of prison at once. However, he was injured. He could not find a better ce to practise his martial arts than in the dungeon of the Five Poisons Sect, which was so heavily guarded and full of traps that no one could enter. Fortunately, his martial arts recovered pretty quickly. During these three months, he worked hard day and night and finally recoveredpletely.
"Madam, have you missed me all these days?" Chu Changge asked with a wicked smile while undressing and taking off his shoes, moving naturally, like a husband returning homete at night, into the nest that his wife had already warmed.
Murong Yunshu said, "There is no bed in the dungeon."
"Yes, there is none..." In the middle of the conversation, Chu Changge suddenly realised that she wasnt saying ''no bed in the dungeon?'', but ''there is no bed in the dungeon'', aplete statement at that. Hence what she ought to mean wasshe disliked him for being dirty.
Thatwas her reaction? She thought he was dirty?
This, this.....this was far from what he expected!
He didn''t expect her to hug him and tell him how she felt, but it had been a long time. Shouldn''t she at least give him a look of affection, if not tears of joy, right?
Chu Changge discovered that she had not given him a proper look from the moment he turned around. Even though she did nce at him, she did it very carelessly. She wasn''t like that before. Did he get ugly?
Chu Changge raised his hand and touched his face. After a little bit of mourning in his heart, he said, "I had freshened up before I came."
Murong Yunshu moved her eyes as if in understanding, then said with a forlorn expression, "So the first thing you do when youe out is to freshen up."
The other meaning of this sentence was:it turns out that the most important thing in your mind is your image. Chu Changge was so clever that he certainly did not miss the meaning beyond her words. However, he didn''t know if it was an illusion, but he saw a hint ofughter under her eyesthe opposite of despair on her face.
It was an illusion, right? Chu Changge thought so, then put that smile behind him and said with deep affection, "I can''t wait to fly to you as soon as I get out of the dungeon. How can I be in the mood to take a bath?" By implication,you are the most important thing.
However, Murong Yunshu was not moved by this. Instead, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed while slowly saying, "I''ll give you the bed."
"Uh..." Chu Changge was dumbfounded. Couldn''t she ignore the fact that he hadn''t bathed and slept on the haystack for three months
Okay. She really couldn''t.
Chu Changge initially didn''t feel anything, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed disgusting. He hadn''t even bathed for three months......
But then again, it was not easy to maintain such a sophisticated image after three months without a bath.
"Wait, I''ll be right back."Chu Changge jumped out of bed and was just going out to find a ce to clean himself when she said something that had left him speechless for a long time before he could respond"Just wash right here."
"Here?" Chu Changge thought he had heard wrong. She had always been so shy that she refused to even bathe with him. Thus how could she suddenly ask him today to be naked here, in front of her eyes......
"Uh-huh, here." Murong Yunshu responded.
Chu Changge was happy at that time, "Okay, here it is then." It was kind of interesting to undress for your beloved woman. But with what?" There was neither water nor a tub. You couldn''t dry-clean, could you? He was sure that dry-cleaning was worse than no cleaning.
Murong Yunshu raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn''t it the Leader who wants to take a bath? Why don''t you go get the water yourself?"
Chu Changge was stunned for a moment, and then it dawned on him. He said with a smile, "So you''ve already found out."
"Nine people wandering around like ghosts in front of you all day long. Of course, anyone can spot them." Murong Yunshu said it with great righteousness.
The nine men hiding in the shadows, however, suffered internal injuries. Even a weak woman who didn''t know martial arts could detect their presence. She had wasted their decades of practising kung fu! Fortunately, they didnt usually go out to meet people. Otherwise, they would have no face left.
What a failure. Truly a failure.
The nine drifted away in silence to boil water for the bath.
Chu Changge then smiled and leisurely stated, "Madam, you have made your husband proud." Under the sky, the one who could see the movements of the Heavenly Killing Demons of the 9 Provinces could be counted on one hand. One was him, and the other one was her.
Murong Yunshu nced at him again and asked, "May I borrow yourQinglongDivine Sword for a moment?"
"Of course." Chu Changge immediately summoned the Qinglong and handed it to her.<strong>[+]</strong>
Although she was well prepared for it, Murong Yunshu almost missed it when she caught the sword. It was so heavy. She held the sword with both hands, raised her eyes to Chu Changge, and said, "Close your eyes."
Chu Changge obediently closed his eyes and immediately opened them again while asking nervously, "What do you want to do?" First, she wanted to borrow the sword; then, she asked him to close his eyes. By looking at her posture with the sword, why did it look like she wanted to murder her own husband......
"Giving you a shave." Murong Yunshu said indifferently.
"......" Was he hallucinating?
"And your eyebrows."
"......" This must be a hallucination.
"The dungeon of the Five Poisons Sect is really not a ce for people to stay. A nice handsome man goes in andes out as a savage in the mountains that is even indistinguishable from male or female."
Savage in the deep mountains......was also indistinguishable from the male and female......Chu Changge was petrified for a long time, then he flew to the bronze mirror for a look and was petrified again.
An illusion. This must be an illusion.
Chu Changge thought he was the most beautiful man of his generation. No matter how unkempt, or no matter how sloppy he was, he would not be looking like this......he was a human but looking, unlike any human. To say he was an animal, he wasnt looking like any savage animal......
It had only been three months. Howe his beard had almost grown to match his hair? And his hair was more than twice as long as it had been three months ago. If he hadn''t grown so tall, it would have been dragging down to the ground. And his eyebrows. This was the first time he had ever seen them grow so long. What was most bizarre was that he didn''t feel these abnormal changes in his body!
He had been ruined. He had beenpletely ruined.
He was afraid he would beughed at for the rest of his life and unable to get over it, ever.
The dungeons of the Five Poisons Sect were truly no ce for a human to stay......
