Chapter 118
Lightning flashed.
The street that had just been shrouded in darkness was illuminated for a moment, and then fell deeper into the night again.
Thunder rolls.
On the street, pedestrians walked in a hurry and vendors hurriedly packed their things.
The whole street was in chaos.
The weather changes at any time without any warning.
Luo Qingzhou shuttled among the hurried crowds, searching every avenue and alley along the road to Jubao Pavilion.
A whole hour.
I searched almost all the streets in the inner city, but couldn't find that cold figure.
Did he get lost, cross the bridge, and go to the outer city?
Luo Qingzhou thought, not daring to rest, and continued walking towards the outer city.
It's a pity that there will be thunder and lightning from time to time, otherwise he could be out of his body and search from a high position, which would be much easier.
The soul has a natural fear of thunder and lightning.
Most of the treasures used to deal with divine souls contain some thunder and lightning power.
Even those with strong souls would not dare to fly in the sky when there is thunder and lightning.
Unless it is a super powerful soul that has survived the thunder tribulation.
I don’t know what state the spiritual senior who always stands on the eaves of Yuanyang Tower is in now.
These nights, he no longer has to go to Yuanyang Tower out of his body.
Because the eldest princess is coming, the security in Mocheng City has been greatly increased. Not only are warriors patrolling, but some magical weapons to restrain the ghosts have also been placed.
The soul senior will probably not go back for the time being.
Luo Qingzhou was thinking about things and walked quickly towards the outer city.
At this time, dark clouds came over the city.
The whole sky was dark.
A storm is coming.
The streets were empty, with all the pedestrians and vendors gone.
The shops facing the street all closed their doors and used tables and stools to prepare for the sudden bad weather.
Luo Qingzhou became anxious and quickened his pace.
After leaving the inner city gate, crossing the stone bridge over the moat, we arrived at the outer city where the houses were obviously low and dilapidated.
After searching aimlessly for a while, his mind suddenly moved and he remembered something.
When the girl followed him out, she thought he was going to a brothel to find a naked courtesan. If she followed him, would it be...
He looked around, quickly broke into a store that was closing, and asked the store owner directly: "Boss, do you know where there is a brothel nearby?"
Female boss: "..."
Luo Qingzhou was scolded and then kicked out with a broom by the female boss.
He had to find it himself.
Brothels are generally open 24 hours a day, and are brightly lit and beautifully decorated, and can be seen from a distance.
Usually, the rainier the weather, the better the brothel's business.
Because at this time, many shops were closed, markets were closed, people had nowhere to go, and there were few places for entertainment, so many people who had money in their pockets went to brothels.
Of course, some people also went to have tea and listen to the opera.
Luo Qingzhou walked through the streets and finally found a brothel with colorful lights. He walked over and took a look, but did not find the figure outside.
Ordinarily, Miss Xia Chan would not go in.
He went to find other brothels.
There was still no one outside the second brothel.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and the thunder became louder and louder.
There was not a single pedestrian on the street anymore.
Luo Qingzhou ran towards another street like a headless fly.
Following a man, he found the third brothel.
Suddenly, he saw three drunk men under the big tree on the left side of the door, talking drunkenly around a familiar figure.
The figure held a sword in his hand, his face was cold, and he stood motionless, staring at the door of the brothel, seeming to regard the three men as nothing.
It's Xia Chan!
Luo Qingzhou immediately walked over quickly and heard one of the men chuckle and say: "Girl, you keep staring there, your husband doesn't want you anymore, has he gone to look for a woman inside? Tsk, tsk, that Men are really nothing. To leave such a beautiful girl here alone is so blind. Girl, if you don’t want such a man, why don’t you just follow...ah!"
Before the man could finish speaking, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck from behind and threw him directly, falling heavily to the ground.
The other two men next to him saw this scene and were about to punch them while drunk, when Luo Qingzhou kicked them one by one and kicked them to the ground.
"Let's go home."
Luo Qingzhou looked at the cold girl in front of him with a serious expression.
It turns out that this girl really came to the brothel to sleep with him!
The girl clenched the sword in her hand, stared at him with cold eyes, then looked at the charming woman at the door of the brothel who was swaying her hips to attract everyone, then looked at him again, and said coldly: " Are you... inside?"
"Not here."
Luo Qingzhou replied briefly: "I went home and found you weren't there. I came out to look for you again. I just found you here."
The girl still held the hilt of the sword and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou could only say: "I swear, if I lie, there will be five thunders from heaven!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
Immediately, "cracking", big raindrops began to fall.
Luo Qingzhou: "...Well, I really didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Miss Bai Ling. She won't help me lie to you, right?"
The girl paused and slowly released the hilt of the sword.
"Boy! You..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just as the three men were about to stand up and curse, they were kicked to the ground again.
"Let's go home, it's going to rain heavily."

Luo Qingzhou urged while looking at the cold girl in front of him.
The girl was no longer stubborn, lowered her head and followed behind.
The two of them left the street one after the other.
Heavy rain suddenly poured down, and there was still lightning and thunder in the sky.
Luo Qingzhou found that the girl behind him was close to him, even pressed against his body. Whenever thunder sounded, her body would tremble slightly.
"It seems Bai Ling didn't lie to me. It turns out that this girl is so timid..."
The two of them crossed the stone bridge over the moat in the heavy rain and rushed towards the inner city.
However, just after crossing the bridge, I suddenly found that the gate of the inner city had been closed.
Luo Qingzhou's face changed slightly, and he secretly thought something was wrong.
He forgot that because the eldest princess was coming to Mocheng recently, the inner city was much more heavily guarded at night, and the city gates were closed much earlier.
He quickly ran over and pushed the heavy city gate, trying to see if the door was just ajar, but found that the door was tightly closed and motionless.
Apparently, a heavy bolt had been placed on the back of the door.
At this time, even if there were guards inside the door, they would never open the door for him.
"Boom!"
The night sky was filled with dark clouds, with lightning and thunder.
The rain was pouring down, with no sign of stopping.
Suddenly an angry shout came from the city wall: "People below, don't linger in front of the city gate, be careful with bows and arrows!"
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and glanced up, without saying anything. He had no choice but to run to the girl who was also soaked in the heavy rain and said: "The city gate is closed and we can't get in. We have to find a place tonight." Let’s settle down. Let’s go to the outer city and find an inn. We’ll go back tomorrow, okay?”
The girl was stunned and nodded slightly.
Luo Qingzhou immediately took her across the stone bridge and returned to the outer city.
As a result, they found two inns in a row, and the owner kicked them out.
"Recently, the eldest princess is coming to Mocheng. The government is conducting a strict check. She has no identity certificate and no acquaintances to bring her. If an inn is closed, she will not only be fined but also jailed. You two guests, I'm really sorry. .
It's all the same rhetoric.
The two of them were once again living on the streets, soaked in heavy rain and not knowing where to go.
"sneeze……"
While Luo Qingzhou was thinking of a solution, he suddenly heard the girl behind him sneezing.
No more rain everywhere.
He suddenly turned around and said: "Miss Xia Chan, let's go to the brothel. Identity documents shouldn't be required there. Let's go in and find a place to stay for the night. Do you think it's okay?"
The girl stood still and rejected him with cold eyes.
"sneeze……"
She sneezed again and turned away from him.
Luo Qingzhou could only say: "Then we can only go to the last place, under the bridge. It can take shelter from the rain and is drier. It's just a little cold. Can you bear it?"
The girl didn't answer, she directly raised her steps and walked towards the stone bridge.
Luo Qingzhou sighed and had no choice but to follow her.
The two of them, one after the other, quickly arrived at the stone bridge, then went down the side and entered the dark stone cave.
The cave was overgrown with weeds and filled with an unpleasant smell.
But at least no more rain.
Late at night, there were warriors patrolling the streets of the outer city. If they stayed on the streets, they would probably be taken back for interrogation after being discovered.
So it's safer here.
Luo Qingzhou found a clean patch of grass, took off his shirt and said, "Miss Xia Chan, sit here, it's cleaner."
The girl walked to the grass and sat down, bending her legs and holding the sword in her arms, her thin body trembling slightly.
Luo Qingzhou squeezed the water out of his jacket and put it on again.
There was ventilation on both sides of the bridge, and the temperature dropped sharply due to the rain, making it very cold.
Luo Qingzhou walked out from the other side and went to the riverside to pick up a lot of dead branches and piled them in front of the girl.
I went out twice more and brought back a lot of dead branches that were soaked by the rain.
Fortunately, the heavy rain had just fallen, so these dead branches were only wet on the surface, but they were still dry inside.
Luo Qingzhou first set fire to the dead grass and leaves he picked up from the bridge hole, and then set up the dry firewood.
Smoke rose in the bridge cavity.
The damp dry firewood quickly "crackled" and burned.
Because the bridge hole is deep and there is wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside, no one can notice it.
After the bonfire started, Luo Qingzhou took off all his shirts, sat down naked opposite the girl, and began to bake the clothes in his hands.
The two sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke.
The bridge hole was silent, with only the occasional burning sound of dry wood.
When the shirts were almost baked, he stood up and walked to the girl opposite and said, "Take off your coat, I'll help you bake it, you put on my clothes, it's warmer."
The girl held the sword, looked at the clothes in his hand, and then looked at his naked upper body. She was silent for a while, and just took his coat and wrapped it around her.
The large man's coat wrapped around her slender body, making her look even thinner and weaker.
Luo Qingzhou did not force it any more, put on his underwear, sat down next to her, and added firewood while whispering: "Your clothes are wet, it will be uncomfortable to wear them, and you will get sick. You are wearing underwear inside, and I won't see you, why don't you take it off?"
The girl turned her face away and said nothing.
The flickering firelight reflected on her pretty little face, even though it was still as cold as snow, it was also very charming.
Luo Qingzhou took a look, then looked at the shoes under her skirt, and said: "If it is inconvenient to take off your clothes, you can take off your shoes and socks and roast them. The shoes are full of water, which will be very uncomfortable."
After that, he took off his shoes and socks and roasted them on the fire.
The bridge hole was silent again.
Luo Qingzhou roasted them for a while, put the shoes and socks that were no longer stained by the fire, and continued roasting them. Then he turned his head and looked at her and said, "You are a martial artist, why do you have to be so particular about these things? As long as you are comfortable, there is no need to care too much about other people's opinions. What's more, I am the only one here, and I won't tell anyone."
The girl was silent for a moment, then turned her face away and looked at him, and said coldly, "Do you... want to see me?"
"No."
Luo Qingzhou calmly denied it and said, "I can go out, you take off your clothes and roast them, and I will come in after roasting them. Is that okay? I just think that you are very uncomfortable like this, and you will get sick."
The girl stared at him blankly, and was silent for a while. Then she lowered her head slightly, stretched one foot in front of him, turned her pretty face away, and whispered, "Take it off."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and looked at her slender feet.
