Chapter 214 It's hard to be a person, it's even harder to be an informant.
"I, Lou Yu, truly cannot bear the weight of the King of Hell's favor!"
Lou Yu almost ended up living in Bengbu.
"Please, Bodhisattva, help me plead with Yama, the King of Hell, to stop taking care of me..."
If we keep taking care of him like this, his dark circles will be hanging on his grave!
Zhai Rongyu pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh.
She unfurled the cloak of justice and draped it over Lou Yu's shoulders.
[I never imagined that this freebie would come in such a useful way.]
This trip to the ghost market was definitely worth it!
Lou Yu looked at her with some confusion through her blurry, tear-filled eyes. Zhai Rongyu pointed to the ghosts and said, "Chief Lou, take another look."
Lou Yu turned her head shakily, her eyes widening suddenly.
The area in front of the bed was empty; there was no ghost to be seen!
He rubbed his eyes and looked closely—
There's still nothing there!
"This, this!" Lou Yu touched the cloak on his shoulder in surprise. "Bodhisattva, could this cloak be some kind of magic treasure?!"
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the cloak was shimmering with silver light and embroidered with the Vajra Mantra that reassured him, yet it felt light and undetectable when worn, truly a divine item.
He raised his hand to gather the cloak, his delight growing ever stronger.
Zhai Rongyu said, "My cloak is called the Righteousness Cloak. After wearing it, evil spirits will retreat and evil spirits will not dare to approach."
"This is exactly what the chief of the stronghold needs."
Lou Yu's eyes lit up.
"really?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the color of his cloak changed, emitting a faint golden luster.
He looked at Zhai Rongyu in surprise.
"Bodhisattva, what is the reason for this?"
Zhai Rongyu gave a slightly mysterious smile.
"The Righteousness Cloak changes color according to its wearer's mood. Now that you are wearing it, your heart is bright and joyful, and it emits a golden glow like the rising sun."
Lou Yu was overjoyed.
Wouldn't that also allow you to show off your skills?!
Seeing his obvious delight, Zhai Rongyu curled her lips slightly and took the cloak back without hesitation.
Lou Yuming's cheerful mood suddenly turned gloomy.
He turned his head stiffly.
Sure enough, he saw a group of strangely shaped ghosts staring straight at him.
"what!!!!"
He screamed in terror, closed his eyes, and slid off the bed to his knees, kowtowing several times to Zhai Rongyu.
"Bodhisattva!" he wailed, his lips trembling. "I, Lou Yu, am willing to offer all my treasures in exchange for this cloak of righteousness, Bodhisattva! I beg you, Bodhisattva, to grant my wish!"
Zhai Rongyu looked down at him and pointed to her face with her index finger.
Do you think I look like the kind of person who's short of money?
Lou Yu opened one eye to look at her.
The girl in front of me was wearing a thin, light green dress, the kind of ordinary people would wear, not luxurious at all. Her ethereal beauty was entirely due to her face.
Besides, it's the dead of winter, and they're not even wearing a cloak...
[Poverty Index +1]
He looked up at her headdress again.
Her full head of black hair was styled into a single bun, adorned with a hairpin resembling a peach branch, which looked as if it had been casually broken off from a tree...
[Poverty Index +2]
His gaze fell again on Zhai Rongyu's slender waist, which seemed so small he could snap it in two with a single blow. Perhaps she had never been truly well-fed...
[Poverty Index +3]
Then look at the cloth bag hanging from her waist; it even has a patch on it, and the stitching is crooked and uneven, indicating that she couldn't even afford a skilled seamstress.
[Poverty Index+]
Lou Yu: ...
The Bodhisattva not only looked poor, but so poor that his clothes were shiny and gleaming.
But he didn't dare to say.
Zhai Rongyu caught his gaze and awkwardly covered her bag with her hand.
[Bad dish.]
The bag the turtle chewed through, the patches the turtle made, but why am I still the one who has to bear it all...?
The Boundless Divine Turtle sensed her complaint and angrily swallowed a gold coin from its pouch.
This stingy woman would rather force it to use a needle to embroider patches than change the bag!
it's good now!
She was criticized for not having money, and then she blamed it on him!
Zhai Rongyu reached out and flicked the tortoise shell.
The Boundless Divine Turtle felt dizzy and quickly retracted its limbs.
Save where you can, spend where you can.
All my efforts have ultimately been in vain!
【?(//?Д/?/)?】
Lou Yu saw that Zhai Rongyu didn't want the money and knew that she had other plans, so he immediately kowtowed.
"A Bodhisattva is of noble character and would naturally not value such filthy gold and silver treasures!"
Zhai Rongyu: ...
Are you okay?
Is money dirty?
I think it's you who's disgusting to think like that!
【(?==≡??(` Pan′?)?】
Zhai Rongyu cursed inwardly.
Just as he was about to complain, Lou Yu said, "Whatever the Bodhisattva wants, just say the word! I'm willing to give everything I have to the Bodhisattva! If I don't have it..." He slapped his thigh and declared boldly, "I'll go and steal it for the Bodhisattva!"
Zhai Rongyu interrupted him: "There's no need for that."
"I just want you to stay in Black Wind Stronghold and do nothing."
"Do nothing?" Lou Yu opened his eyes, somewhat confused.
Is there such a good thing?
Zhai Rongyu nodded, "Yes, do nothing."
“We will not rob the people down the mountain, we will not support Nan Sang, and we will not act as informants or pass messages to the traitors of Long Yan.”
Lou Yu's face turned pale instantly.
"How could the Bodhisattva know..."
He stared at Zhai Rongyu with surprise and doubt, suddenly questioning her identity, "You actually know who I am..."
"Who are you!"
He reached for his waist, discreetly pressing the dagger hidden in his belt, his eyes wide with alertness.
Zhai Rong crossed her arms in front of her chest, bent down with an air of composure, and looked down at him. "Just now you were calling me a Bodhisattva, but now you want to kill me."
"Since the chieftain of Lou Village is so disrespectful to the gods, I suppose you wouldn't even care about these ghosts!"
She straightened up and snapped her fingers.
A group of ghosts immediately floated up to Lou Yu, crowding their faces together like they were taking a selfie, and the dagger in Lou Yu's hand clattered to the ground.
He crawled forward on his knees and grabbed Zhai Rongyu's skirt tightly.
"Bodhisattva! I, Lou Yu, have been blinded by greed! How dare I be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva!"
He cried out, "It's hard to be a person, but it's even harder to be an informant!"
"Especially for someone like me who's juggling both ends, it's incredibly difficult!"
"Please, Bodhisattva, have pity on me."
"If I don't do things for that Fifth Prince, I'm afraid all 108 people in my Black Wind Stronghold won't survive until tomorrow!"
Fifth Prince!
[It's actually the Fifth Prince!]
Zhai Rongyu remembered.
The hidden big boss mentioned in the original book is indeed the Fifth Prince!
She said those peach blossom eyes looked so dangerous!
[His brother's crime of treason was orchestrated entirely by him!]
Zhai Rongyu composed herself and pulled her skirt away from Lou Yu's hands. "I know you're in a difficult position, but have you ever thought about living openly and honestly under the sun with the brothers of Black Wind Stronghold?"
Lou Yu looked stunned.
"Open and aboveboard..." he suddenly retorted, somewhat agitated, "Black Wind Stronghold will never accept amnesty!"
Zhai Rongyu shook his head, "It's not about surrendering to the government."
