Chapter 34 Chen Duo, I'm in front of you
In Ma Xianhong's view, although these elderly people had extraordinary temperaments, they did not have any obvious Qi fluctuations.
It's probably either an elder in Wang Ye's family or a hired butler.
"Uh..." Wang Ye's lips twitched, "I guess you could say he's... an elder."
He thought to himself: "Old Ma, have you lost your senses? This is an ancestor!"
"Welcome, welcome!"
Ma Xianhong was quite magnanimous, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhang Zhiwei and Su Wuxian:
"Since you elders are here, you are guests. In Biyou Village, we believe in education for all, regardless of social status; whether you are an extraordinary person or an ordinary person, you are all welcome to eat!"
"I am the village head, Ma Xianhong. How shall we address you all?"
Zhang Zhiwei pushed up his sunglasses, remained silent, and perfectly maintained his aloof demeanor.
Su Wuxian walked forward with a smile and patted Ma Xianhong on the shoulder.
Ma Xianhong instinctively tried to dodge, but found that it seemed like he had dodged, yet he hadn't.
There's no way to dodge it!
"Xiao Ma, right? You're quite a spirited young man."
"My surname is Su, you can call me Uncle Su. This man in sunglasses is Uncle Zhang, and the one in the Zhongshan suit is Uncle Tian."
"We heard this place has beautiful scenery and can even cure illnesses, so we came to take a look. Are we disturbing you?"
"Uncle Su?" Ma Xianhong looked at the young man in front of him, who seemed to be a few years younger than himself.
Why are you calling me "old man"?
Although she found the address a bit odd, she still politely replied, "No need to bother you. Healing? You mean the Body-Cultivating Furnace? That's my masterpiece!"
Mentioning the Body Cultivation Furnace, Ma Xianhong's eyes lit up instantly, and that fanatical enthusiasm returned:
"Gentlemen, I'm not bragging. My furnace can turn the rotten into the miraculous, transform ordinary people into extraordinary beings, and make the flawed perfect!"
He took a special look at Tian Jinzhong's legs:
"This old man has difficulty walking? No problem! Once he's inside my furnace, although his limbs won't regenerate, with the help of my magical artifact, standing up and walking will definitely be no problem!"
Tian Jinzhong was delighted to hear this, stood up from his wheelchair, and jumped up and down twice.
"Oh, young man, that's very kind of you. But I'm perfectly fine on my feet now, this wheelchair is just a means of transportation, something to play around with."
Ma Xianhong: "..."
So you came here in a wheelchair?
"Alright, Little Horse, stop blowing on your stove."
Su Wuxian interrupted him, his gaze passing over Ma Xianhong and looking towards a small path deep in the village.
There, a petite figure wearing a green protective suit and a hood was walking slowly by, leading a spotted dog.
The girl kept her head down, seemingly indifferent to everything around her, radiating an innate loneliness and deathly stillness.
—Chen Duo.
Upon seeing Chen Duo, Lao Meng, who was standing behind her, trembled violently, tears welled up in his eyes, and he covered his mouth, almost crying out loud.
Black pipe and Xiao Zizai tensed up instantly.
That is the mission objective—the Gu-body Saint Child!
Su Wuxian's gaze softened as well.
He ignored Ma Xianhong's incessant chatter and walked straight toward Chen Duo.
"Hey? Grandpa Su? Where are you going?" Ma Xianhong tried to stop him.
"Go play with the dog."
Su Wuxian waved his hand without turning his head, "You guys chat, I'm going to have a chat with that girl about life."
......
A village path.
Chen Duo was walking aimlessly with her dog, named Chen Junyan.
Suddenly, a shadow blocked her way.
Chen Duo stopped and looked up somewhat slowly.
What came into view was a young face with a kind smile.
"Girl."
Su Wuxian took out a sausage from his pocket, peeled it, squatted down, and fed it to the spotted dog.
The dog wagged its tail and ate happily.
"This dog is well-fed; it's quite plump."
Su Wuxian said with a smile.
Chen Duo blinked, and for the first time, her dark green eyes flickered.
In the past, people who met her were either afraid, disgusted, or, like Ma Xianhong, treated her as a "kindred spirit" or a "tool".
No one ever starts by praising her dog.
"Its name is... Chen Junyan."
Chen Duo's voice was soft and somewhat hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time.
"Nice name."
Su Wuxian stood up, not backing down despite the terrifying primal Gu poison on Chen Duo's body.
Instead, he reached out and very naturally helped Chen Duo straighten her slightly crooked hood.
"In this heat, aren't you stuffy wearing such thick clothes?"
Chen Duo was stunned.
She instinctively wanted to dodge because she knew how dangerous her body was.
Anyone who gets close to her will die.
But the man before them was not only not dead, he was even...
His hands were warm.
"I'm poisonous..."
Chen Duo took a step back and said in a low voice.
"poison?"
Su Wuxian smiled.
He pointed to Ma Xianhong, who was bragging to Zhuge Qing not far away, and then pointed to himself:
"What does that idiot kid who built the furnace know about poison?"
"Girl, do you know who I am?"
Chen Duo shook her head.
Su Wuxian leaned closer to her, like a strange uncle trying to fool a child, but his tone was full of unprecedented confidence and doting:
"I am your advisor."
"I came here specifically to pick you up and take you home."
"This protective suit is too ugly, it doesn't suit you."
"Later, I'll strip it off, change you into a floral dress, and take you to get ice cream, okay?"
Chen Duo stared blankly at Su Wuxian.
Come back home?
Floral dress?
ice cream?
These words were in her dictionary of life, a dictionary filled with killing and control.
It was so unfamiliar, yet so... alluring.
And not far away.
Old Meng, who witnessed this scene, was already in tears.
From this moment on, Chen Duo's fate was completely changed.
That man who could make a hole in the sky.
Now I'm standing in front of her.
