Humanity

Chapter 1

MERRY FELT LIKE HE was in chaos, surrounded by sounds.

【Are you Meri? This character is pretty good! I just don’t have a good brain! What's so good about Murray is that he ended up getting involved with that married woman Shen Bijun. Even though she is beautiful, she is a bit old after all, and she is still the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world! So feel free to leave your body to me! I will definitely be able to live a wonderful life for you! Torture that scumbag Murray to death! 】

......etc? Murray... refers to her opposite-sex brother Murray who is five years, four months and three days younger than her? Yaoshou! Her brother is only twenty this year! Why did he get involved with a married woman? And is the most beautiful woman in the martial arts called Shen Bijun? How could she remember that there was a very popular person named Lin Xianer before? Besides, does this mean that you don’t take Shi Guanyin seriously?

besides! What kind of trash dares to scold my mother for having a bad mind? !

[Get out of the way! The system clearly said that this is the body prepared for me! Where are you from? What kind of serious things can Mary, a mentally retarded person who only thinks about abuse, do? You really think the whole world is supporting you in losing your IQ! My goal is to become the number one in the martial arts world, and I will definitely be able to fulfill Meili’s wish! 】

...No, where did you come from? And damn, does she not want to be the number one in the martial arts world? Her goal is just to roam the world wantonly! Drink a lot of wine and eat meat! She is very self-aware! It’s not like she’s a martial arts prodigy , so long as she can protect herself!

[You are dissing Meili and at the same time you still want someone else’s body? Haha, your face is so big! And that Mary, why do you say that Meri is not very smart? What a great character she has! Ride the fastest horse, climb the highest mountain, eat the spiciest food, drink the strongest wine, play with the sharpest knife, and kill the cruelest people! A woman like this could have a wonderful life! Even if people like Murray, they have never complained about Shen Bijun and have helped him many times! I know Meili best, so I am the most qualified person to inherit Meili’s identity. 】

...Thank you, both of them fell in love with her body. But this was quite new. There had always been many men coveting her, but this was the first time I saw a group of women competing for her.

[What are you talking about? You guys are just envious of other people’s resources and at the same time complaining that they have ruined a good hand of cards. Meili is good-looking, straightforward and has Murray as a younger brother who is always protecting her. It feels good, right? That iconic character looks cool, right? Don't say you know her best or really like her. If you really like her, will she become another person? Would you look down on her actions while using her resources? 】

......well said! Although she didn’t know what was going on with this group of people, only the last, eccentric person was the one who was most in tune with Meili’s feelings! If she hadn't been unable to move, she would have clapped her hands and cheered!

In the end, these people fighting for the body started fighting, and Merry felt very depressed. At first, he was thinking about all kinds of things , but so far he only had one thought left - to silence these things that he didn't know whether they were human or not.

And as soon as this thought came out, these things became panicked.

[Ahh-what's going on? 】

[What are these things? ! 】

【Escape quickly! There is obviously something wrong with this! The original owner of the body seems to be still alive! 】

【What? ! Meri is still alive? Then wouldn’t we...]

[...If you don’t do one thing, you won’t stop doing the other thing. System, is there a way to make the original Merry and these people disappear? 】

There were many things these people said that Meili didn't understand at all, and she didn't have the energy to understand them. She just fought and resisted subconsciously with perseverance and unwillingness.

During this battle, she came into contact with a lot of novel things and knowledge. The amount of messy information gave her a headache and she couldn't help but moan in pain.

who I am......

I'm Meri...

What kind of person is Meri...

Who are these people described in my memory?

...Who am I?

Eventually, everything returned to silence.

M erry, Merry... Murray sat beside the bed, calling out in a low voice, his brows tightly furrowed. Looking at the woman lying on the bed in a nightmare, he felt even more worried.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other person, and said in a bad tone: Tammy, are you sure you didn't do anything to my sister?

The person he was asking about was sitting next to the only table in the room. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but cry out in injustice: God, I swear to God! I really just said one word to Miss Feng!

Tammy also felt very wronged! Meili is somewhat famous in the world. Even though he is a prodigal, he knows which women are not easy to mess with. This time, he was just looking for the whereabouts of the red shoes and traced Meili to find out the details.

And he really just found someone and said, If I ask, the girl is Meili! He didn't say anything more and the other party fainted! Then Murray, who immediately claimed to be Meri's younger brother, appeared!

At first, he thought that the other party was plotted and poisoned or something, so he immediately sent the person to the miracle doctor Mr. Mei Er... Then Mr. Mei Er snorted coldly and looked at him like someone who had never seen the world before. Tell him calmly that the other person is suffering from nightmares and that there is nothing else going on and that he can just sleep.

God knows, if he hadn't taken the initiative to find Merry, he would have thought it was a trap set against him!

But Merry was unconscious for too long and it was such a coincidence... Murray is not the kind of person who takes his anger out on others easily, but Merry means something different to him.

He was the son of a groom, and was called Shiyilang because he had ten brothers and sisters, but they were all killed.

He had been alone since childhood and met Meili, who was also alone. Although they were not biological siblings, their relationship was better than that of ordinary siblings.

This was not the time when Murray would be notorious for being labeled a thief and taking the blame for everything in the future, nor was it the time when Merry had feelings for Murray but knew that the other party treated her like her own sister , and as she grew older she could not get the love she wanted and her behavior became more and more eccentric, and she was called a female monster. This was the time when the two of them depended on each other and had the best relationship.

Merry is his only relative. How can he not worry if something happens to her?

Hmm... A groan came from the carved bed, instantly diverting Murray's attention: Merry? You're awake, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you remember who I am?

Meili rubbed her temples and sat up. She frowned and looked at the man who was talking. Her blank eyes gradually came into focus. She smiled: Shiyilang!

Tammy watched from the side and felt something was not right, and her eyes changed.

These siblings ... call each other as intimately as lovers...

Meili...ah, yes, I am Meili. Meili lowered his head, his face became more serious, and he pondered for a moment, I remember that I wanted to ride the fastest horse, climb the highest mountain, and eat the hottest food. Food, drink the strongest wine, play with the sharpest knife, kill the most ruthless people...

Murray coaxed from the side: Okay, okay ! We'll do this when you recover!

Wait a minute, there seems to be another one... Meili squinted his eyes , feeling that his mind was in chaos, and murmured, What is it... the wildest man in the world?

Her whisper was soft, but the two people in the room had good hearing.

Murray hesitated for a moment : Sister...you have to choose someone first...

Tammy: Pfft—cough cough cough—

Choked by her own saliva, Tammy immediately overturned her previous thoughts. This was definitely something that only a brother would say!

Merry asked inquiringly, Kid, who do you think is the wildest in the world?

Murray thought about it and hesitantly turned his gaze to the third person in the room.

Tammy: ... No! I'm not! I didn't! Don't think about it!

Murray said sincerely: I think it's probably Tammy.

Tammy: !!!

Merry glanced over as well : Four eyebrows Tammy?

Tammy shuddered and stood up straight at once. He was always eloquent but he stuttered: Miss Feng, Miss Feng...

Before he could finish, Merry had already shaken his head with a look of regret: No, she doesn't look like my type.

Murray was obviously relieved. That's great. I don't quite agree with it either. I heard that he has a lot of relationships and lovers outside. You, Meri, will easily suffer.

Tammy: ... Wait! ?

The author has something to say:

It's open! A silly martial arts novel!

The plot has been changed ! Zong Gu Long + Wen! Use it to adjust your mood! Yuan Geng!

The heroine is just a shrimp without self-awareness ! This is the history of the chaotic evil Meili who has absorbed the messy information of the time traveler and is looking for herself ( X)!

PS: CP is not Murray or Tammy, it’s Judy!

chapter 2

TAMMY WAS QUITE AMUSED and helpless after being bullied by this pair of fake siblings.

Fortunately, he did not forget his real purpose and began to explain his true intention - he wanted to investigate a poisoning case committed by the Five Poison Ladies and eventually found out about the Red Shoes organization.

The Red Shoes is a mysterious organization whose members are all women and behave strangely. It is said that the characteristic of the members of the organization is that they all wear a pair of bright red embroidered shoes.

The red shoes are like the symbol of the bride's wedding night, except that the embroidery on the shoes is not of loving mandarin ducks, but of a ferocious owl.

Spot your prey at night and strike!

This is also the reason why Tammy approached Meri.

Merry has become somewhat famous in this not-so-small world.

After all, there are only so many women in the world, and the beautiful ones are always fewer than the ugly ones. Among the remaining beautiful women, those with unruly personalities are always more outstanding than the others.

Men make up the majority of the world's population, and the topics passed down among men may change from time to time, but there is one topic that will never change - that is women.

And she is a beautiful woman.

If it is a woman with a distinctive personality, it is more likely to become a conversation topic after drinking.

Meri is such a woman.

She has been around the world for quite some time, and no one knows her age, and no one cares that much, because as soon as she stands there, no one will think about how old she is.

She is a beautiful woman and has good martial arts skills.

She also likes all kinds of excitement - [riding the fastest horse, climbing the highest mountain, eating the spiciest food, drinking the strongest wine, playing with the sharpest knife, and killing the cruelest people. 】

Therefore, anyone who has seen her will sigh - [Meili, she is really a woman in this world. 】

one in ten of these people who sighed had seen her, but that did not stop them from using her as a topic of conversation, making their completely fabricated impressions sound plausible and adding a few more blems to Merry's already not-so-good reputation.

Tammy had heard of Merry's reputation before, but had never had the chance to meet him.

Although he likes beautiful women, he is afraid of trouble. And Merry's personality sounds like trouble, so he will not take the initiative to provoke her.

But when trouble came to him, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

After all, there are more important things in this world than dealing with troublesome difficulties.

Once the reputation of the red shoes spread, there were only a few suspects. Merry happened to appear in this town, so Tammy naturally came to him.

Then what just happened happened.

It's just that Merry was... a little different from what he imagined.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Meili is not a beauty. On the contrary, she is more beautiful than he imagined. When they met, her bright smile and bright eyes really made him feel moved.

...Ah, but no matter how much I wanted to do it, I was scared back in a few breaths .

He had only heard of the first few, and thought that if the distinction between men and women was eliminated, Merry's personality could make him a pretty good friend.

Then he heard that the other party wanted to fuck the wildest man, which scared away the little romantic thoughts that had just arisen in his mind.

He wants to take back what he said.

If this Meili is a Fushiro , he really wants to be friends with him, and then encourage him to have sex with the wildest girl to realize his dream. Then he can go to him for a drink, laugh at him and comfort him when he fails again and again. Finally, Be more intentional.

That will be a great joy in life!

Unfortunately, this premise was not established, so his happiness disappeared and he still had to worry about whether he would become a target.

Of course, Mery and Murray were unaware of his vast array of mental activities.

This pair of siblings started out just playing around in the town. From childhood to adulthood, they have been robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

Ah, this poverty refers to oneself and not others.

When he was found by Tammy, Meri thought it was because he had gotten into trouble by stealing things in the past. His original intention was to run away, but an accident happened.

Although she survived the accident, her mind became a little confused because of the accident. She always felt that she knew a lot of things, but upon closer inspection, she didn't know what those things meant.

She began to have confusion about her self-understanding.

Of course, this is something to talk about later, and this point has not been shown much yet.

She just listened to Tammy's narration, nodded in recognition, then got out of bed, stood upright, and gently lifted the corner of her skirt, revealing a corner of her shoes.

You mean my red shoes?

Meri's shoes were indeed bright red.

It’s just that instead of owls, it’s embroidered with lotus flowers.

I'm not a member of the Red Shoes. It's better to say that I have a grudge against them. Merry put down her skirt, snorted, and flipped through her memories. With a little anger on her face, she said, It was those stupid women who spread rumors about me!

Tammy, who didn't understand the twists and turns between women but was particularly aware that conflicts were more likely to arise between beautiful women, shut up and didn't intend to interrupt.

Anyway, I'm not. If you find any members of the Red Shoes, remember to tell me. I still want revenge. At least I have to scold them in person before I can get my revenge. Merry snorted. Murray beside her patted her shoulder very sensibly: Merry, don't be angry. I've already said they are a group of women. You only used those few words to scold them. You can't win.

No! I feel full of power now. I have a lot of new curse words in my mind. I will definitely win!

... Tammy felt that Merry's suspicion had been basically ruled out, but out of instinct he still habitually asked one more question, Um... Excuse me, Miss Feng, you hate red shoes so much, why do you still wear them? Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood? Or is there any deeper reason?

Oh, that's what you're talking about. Meili said indifferently, Because this year is my zodiac year.

Murray was horrified: Merry! What's wrong with you?! Normally you care most about your age and would never tell anyone! Not to mention that he's a man you just met not long ago... You're not still holding on to your previous thoughts, are you?

Merry glanced at Tammy hesitantly and shook his head firmly, No, he's not wild enough.

Tammy: ... That’s enough.

she had wasted her time, been teased a few times, and wasted money paying Mr. Mei Er for his medical treatment. She did not continue to bother with the brother and sister and left quickly.

After thanking Mr. Mei Er, Murray and Merry also left.

Merry, you almost got into big trouble. Murray's voice was still smiling, and his tone was relaxed. Since you are okay, I will leave first.

Although the two grew up together, they have long since lived their own lives after being able to live independently. In other words, whenever they encounter trouble , they will immediately find the other person as if they have telepathic connection.

Normally at this time, Merry would say he was nagging, then ride away on his horse in a cloud of dust.

She would never be the one to be left behind first.

Today's Meili is different from usual.

She suddenly took the hand of her younger brother, whom she had known since childhood, and said solemnly: Shishilang, do you believe in fate?

Murray: ...what?

I don't know why, but I suddenly had a hunch...and I'm confident that I'm more accurate than Dazhi Datong. Meili pressed her chest, her expression becoming more and more solemn, You will fall in love with a woman named Shen Bijun, who is She is the most beautiful woman in the world, but we can’t be together. But don’t worry, the other person loves you, even if she is married to someone else and was pregnant with you when she was in love.

Murray was shocked: What?! Is the child mine?!

Meili shook her head: Ah, no, it belongs to her husband.

Murray: ...Oh.

Meri: Seriously, my head is telling me this.

Murray: ...Sister, are you drinking too much?

Although he said that, looking at Merry's vow, Murray... felt a little fussy in his heart, and the fate the other party mentioned made him still have a little... little expectation.

The most beautiful woman in the world...

Then Murray went to check out out of curiosity... and found out that the eldest lady of Shenjiazhuang and the granddaughter of Golden Needle Shen Taijun, Shen Bijun.

Then, Shen Bijun, she is ten years old this year.

She is still at an age when her front teeth have been lost and need to be replaced.

...My sister must have drunk too much. No, sister, what do you think of me? ——Murray thought indifferently.

Not knowing what was happening on Murray's side, after spending almost all his money on eating, drinking and having fun for a few days, Merry felt that the messy memories in his mind were finally sorted out, although they were still a little confusing.

It was because of this chaos that when she passed by a small building full of flowers, she felt somewhat familiar and walked up unconsciously.

Chapter 3

AFTER MERRY SLOWLY walked up the stairs to the small building, he saw the gentle young man sitting in front of the window.

The other person turned his head towards her, smiled, and spoke in a gentle voice, not seeming displeased by the sudden visit from this stranger.

Did something happen to the girl?

Nothing... Merry looked around and sighed, But if not having money is a problem, then I am in trouble.

If someone else asked for money in such a straightforward way, they might start to lament her shamelessness, but the young man in front of him did not show any dissatisfaction. He just smiled and continued to speak in his soft tone: I wonder how much money the girl needs?

It doesn't have to be too much... one hundred taels is enough. Meili asked for a big sum without hesitation. When she thought the other party would be angry, he slowly took out a silver note of one hundred taels.

Meili was stunned for a moment. Although he took the banknote, he was not very satisfied in his heart: Mr. Hua, with such a hand, even the Hua family will be ruined by you.

The small building that Meili entered unconsciously was not someone else's place, but a small building full of flowers.

Hua Manlou is the seventh son of the Jiangnan Hua family.

When mentioning the Jiangnan Hua family, everyone’s first reaction is wealth.

The Jiangnan Hua family is an extremely wealthy family. As a petty thief, Mei Li has secretly robbed their home many times when money was tight , so he naturally knows the Hua family quite well.

And Huamanlou doesn't look like the kind of young master who comes from a very wealthy family. He lives alone. Although his residence is not simple, it is definitely not a wealthy family at a glance.

Meili had already heard about this person. She would have chosen to stay away from him originally, but the extra messy information in her mind drove her to come here.

When Huamanlou heard her address, he was not surprised, but laughed: Because I believe you will pay back the money, girl.

What if I don't pay it back?

Hua Manlou also returned very quickly, without any hesitation: Then I can only consider myself unlucky.

Meri laughed too: You're much funnier than Tammy.

Hearing the name of a familiar friend, Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, and her voice had a hint of warmth: You know Tammy.

Well, we had a chance encounter before.

He was very aware of his friend's ability to provoke women, but Huamanlou still became a little curious: The girl was the first to say that.

Um?

Say I'm funnier than Tammy. To other people, he must be a lot funnier.

He's not good at it. Merry frowned, shook his head and sighed, Apart from his interesting beard, there's nothing interesting about him.

There was a smile in Hua Manlou's voice : What the girl said made me even more curious.

The time we met before, he mistook me for the red shoes group. Meili got angry when talking about this, I just wore red shoes to ward off evil spirits in my birth year, but I didn't expect that It’s even worse!

Huamanlou did not interrupt her, but listened to her complaints with a smile.

I forgot to introduce myself... I'm Meili. Meili pulled up a stool and sat down in a familiar manner, I won't mention it anymore... As the saying goes, you lose money and eliminate disasters. You have such a good attitude, so I will tell you your fortune. Bar.

Hua Manlou said with surprise: Is Miss Feng a fortune teller?

Yes, I suddenly gained a new ability five days ago. Meili, who was very confident in the extra information in his mind, said earnestly, Believe me, I am more accurate than Dazhi Daoshi.

He suddenly had this ability five days ago... Hua Manlou thought to himself while still being considerate and nodded to show that he was listening.

Seeing the other party's cooperation, Meili was very satisfied, and then showed a serious expression: You have to remember that your weakness is women, and beautiful women at that.

Hua Man Lou: ... Hey? Wait? Was this fortune-teller wrong? Did he choose the wrong person? No matter how he listened to it, it seemed more suitable for my friend.

Listen to my sister's advice. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

Ahem... Miss Feng, I should be older than you.

It's not important! Did you remember what I said?

Ahem... I've remembered that. Hua Manlou seemed a little embarrassed, But is Miss Feng also within this range?

Of course, I'm a good liar. Merry's tone was still somewhat proud. She glanced at the other person's slightly lifeless eyes and suppressed the urge to ask him how he could judge beauty and ugliness when he couldn't see.

Her memory told her that the best attitude towards blind people like this was to treat them as ordinary people.

Because of the other party's straightforward answer, Hua Manlou couldn't help but smile a little: But I think Miss Feng's words are still credible.

Because I don't lie to good people, my conscience would hurt. But some people are different. Merry smiled, obviously in a good mood.

No matter which woman she is, she will be very happy to hear others sincerely praise her beauty and show trust in her.

It would be even better if the person is a good-looking man.

So Meili generously told him what she knew: I haven't finished yet. You will meet a girl named Shangguan Feiyan. She looks innocent and cute, but she is actually deceiving you. She is using you to drag Tammy into a scam of the Jinpeng Dynasty.

The other party spoke in a very convincing manner and even mentioned the name. Hua Manlou also took it seriously: Golden Roc Dynasty?

Yes. This Jinpeng Dynasty is a declining dynasty in the Western Regions. At that time, Shangguan Feiyan will play two roles. On one hand, she will deceive you and then disguise herself as another woman, claiming to be the princess of the Western Regions. Shangguan Danfeng and Tammy will fall in love and have physical relations...

Hua Manlou: Ahem... ahem...

Meili was confused: What's wrong? A cold?

Hua Manlou: ...No, nothing.

Merry nodded. Okay, I'll continue... Then they'll ask you and Tammy to investigate. They say they want to recover the property of the Jinpeng Dynasty. The property is currently in the hands of three former traitors, and these three traitors have become three very powerful people now.

Hua Manlou's expression became solemn. He intuitively felt that the next thing would be the key.

On the other side, however, Merry was a bit stuck.

She thought for a moment, then said in a positive tone: Those three people are a very wealthy jewelry owner! One is the boss of a building! And there is another one, I remember it very clearly - the leader of the Emei Sect! Master Miejue!

I was just wondering if that jewelry owner was Yan Tieshan’s Hua Man Lou, who owned the most jewelry and the Jewelry Pavilion: ...Um, Miss Feng, the leader of the Emei Sect is not Nun Miejue, but Dugu Yihe.

Really? But I remember that one of the three traitors was a eunuch hiding his identity... I thought he was a man dressed as a woman... Ah, what if he was a woman dressed as a man!

Hua Manlou didn't know how to correct the female companion's statement that she was dressed as a man. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to clear the name of the leader of the Emei Sect: I don't think she is a woman dressed as a man...

In this case, then Dugu Yihe is ruled out as the eunuch... Ah, I know! That's the other chief who I can't quite remember! Meili said with certainty, The building he opened must be a brothel! I remember it has the word qing in it! The eunuch was disguised as a brothel owner and mixed in there!

express his opinion without offending Miss Feng ?

Chapter 4

HUAMANLOU'S THOUGHTFULNESS was not received by Meili, so naturally she wouldn't appreciate it either.

After Meili told what he thought was the truth, he felt that he was great and worthy of the one hundred taels he received, so he planned to leave.

After she stood up, she noticed the first question that others would notice: Is there any inconvenience if you can't see it?

Her tone was pure curiosity, without any pity or sympathy.

Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied in a gentle tone: No.

You are so amazing. Meri praised sincerely. Apart from Helen Keller, you are the one I admire the most.

Helen? Hua Manlou repeated the name curiously after hearing a strange name suddenly. He just did it subconsciously, and when he felt that the other party wanted to continue talking, he felt a little weird. He didn't know whether his action was good or bad. After all, his curiosity last time had turned the head of Emei Sect, Dugu Yihe, into Nun Miejue.

Besides, who exactly is Nun Miejue?

Helen was a foreigner. Merry flipped through his memories and explained enthusiastically, When she was still in her infancy, a serious illness made her deaf and blind. It can be said that a person has been trapped in a dark and silent world since birth.

Hua Manlou was originally thinking about writing something else, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but be absorbed in it and asked, What happened next?

Because of the loss of hearing, she can't speak normally even if there is no problem with her throat. Meili said with a bit of regret. Although her parents love her, they don't know how to teach her correctly. They use methods to teach her when she makes mistakes. He always gave her candy when she did something right , so Helen had a bad temper when she was a child."

Hua Manlou frowned, obviously a little worried. Having been blind for so many years, he can naturally better understand Helen's situation as described by the other party.

Fortunately, Meili didn't show off too much and got to the point quickly.

But Helen soon met the woman who changed her life - her teacher Annie! Her teacher was also basically blind, but she was gentle and amiable. She taught Helen patiently, took Helen to experience everything, taught her sign language, and taught her to speak by letting her touch her own mouth shape. Merry paused here and asked mysteriously, The first word Helen learned was [water]. Do you know how Annie taught her?

Hmm? Hua Manlou listened attentively to the other party's story, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, It should be... letting her touch the running water, and then writing on her palm, right?

...Well, that's it. Having failed to show off, Merry touched his nose in dismay and continued, Anne taught Helen and changed her life. Helen later went to study at the best academy in their area and wrote many books, which were translated into many languages and circulated, becoming a talented woman of her generation.

A smile appeared on Hua Manlou's face, a smile of genuine joy: That's great.

He did not ask the other party how he knew such a story, because the other party spoke in a very sincere tone. Someone like Hua Manlou would not suspect someone without reason .

sat down again in the conversation .

Oh, yes, I read all these stories from Mr. Helen's book, Three Days to See.

Hua Manlou's curiosity had been aroused, so he asked, Miss Feng, do you have any of Mr. Helen's works?

It's a pity that I didn't stay. Merry shook her head with a hint of regret. She only remembered that she had read it in her early years... and it was a must-read?

......Huh? etc? Why did the phrase read and recite the full text pop into her head?

Hua Manlou was also very sorry, but he was not a pushy person, so he accepted it calmly after being disappointed for a moment.

But I still remember some of the content. Meili touched his one hundred taels and felt that he could start a friendly and long-term cooperation with Huamanlou, so he was extra patient and tried to recall it. He remembered good words and good sentences . I found some content in it, Mr. Helen said that darkness will make people cherish light more, and silence will make people love sound more. The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, and must be felt with the heart.

Hua Manlou smiled, and her tone was unconscious agreement: That's exactly it.

Then, his original regret resurfaced: It's just a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to read Mr. Helen's masterpiece.

It doesn't matter, I will tell you immediately when I remember something! Meili promised boldly, patting his chest.

Okay! Sensing that the other party's nature was like this, Hua Manlou didn't make any excuses, Then I'll bother you, Miss Feng.

You don't have to be polite, dude!

Miss Feng, what did you say you remembered...could it be that you forgot something before?

Oh! Don't mention it! It's all because of your friend with four eyebrows! It's made my recent memory a little confusing! Meri passed the blame to Tammy without hesitation, then stood up and said, This time I really say goodbye. I'm leaving!

Miss Feng, walk slowly. Hua Manlou said warmly.

As the hearty chuckle faded away, the small building regained its tranquility.

W hat!? Was it me?! Did Merry really say that?! - Tammy, who came to chat with her old friend, heard her friend's retelling and spat out her drink.

Hua Manlou smiled and asked, Isn't it?

Although I bumped into her and she fainted in front of me...but that's not the case at all! Tammy was speechless. After all, there was no third person in the situation, so it was Merry who spoke up. Forget it.

But she did indeed faint.

Huamanlou, why are you talking so much about Meili today? Tammy said with a smile that was a bit teasing, This is the first time I've heard you mention a girl so many times.

After the teasing, he remembered Meili's words fuck the wildest man. For a moment, his expression became a little subtle. He looked at his friend opposite him and said hesitantly, Um... I'm not saying that you two may not be suitable.

It seems like you really have a grudge against Miss Feng. Hua Manlou said with a smile, This is the first time I've seen you avoid a beautiful woman who has nothing to do with you.

I'm not hiding...but she's a little weird. Tammy added, Not the bad kind of weird, but real, she's a bit weird. It's like someone who openly casts a spell on someone, and the person being cursed knows it's happening and thinks it's impossible for them to really fall for it, but they're still affected.

Hua Manlou waved the fan in his hand and said leisurely: It seems that you have suffered a loss at her hands.

... Tammy shook her head and said angrily, Why are you always talking for Meili? Are you my friend?

Hua Manlou smiled: Miss Feng is also my friend.

Tammy's eyes widened in surprise: This is really strange - tell me, why did that woman lower her head to you?

...You talk like this, and being targeted by Miss Feng is really not innocent at all.

Huamanlou didn't sell it and told everything about her first meeting with Meili.

Including the opponent's Dugu Yihe is the exterminator and the mystery of which of the old ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty is the eunuch. As for the other party's statement that he would be deceived by a woman named Shangguan Feiyan, and this woman also pretended to be the Jinpeng Dynasty. The former princess seduced Tammy and so on... Ahem, he felt there was no need to say it.

Tammy laughed so much that she tapped her wine glass with her chopsticks.

After laughing, he felt a little unbalanced: Why should you encounter such an interesting thing, but I have to be buried by Merry?

After he finished complaining, he suddenly thought of something - the old ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty that Meili mentioned, one was the head of the Emei Sect, Dugu Yihe, one ran a jewelry store, and one ran a brothel...

Dugu Yihe is definitely not a woman dressed as a man. The one in the brothel is to be determined, and the one in the jewelry... Yan Tieshan, the owner of the Jewelry Pavilion... In terms of appearance alone, she really looks like Tai...

——Wait! Stop! How did Merry really lead me into this ditch?

Tammy shuddered and shook the thought out of her mind.

Neither of them took it seriously.

However, a week later, an uninvited guest came to Hua Manlou's building.

I am Shangguan Feiyan from Jiangnan. The little girl who came uninvited said in a lively tone.

Hua Manlou: ... So...Dugu Yihe is really...?

Chapter 5

HUA MANLOU ADMITTED that he had a crush on this little girl at first, although he also knew that she had lied.

But this good impression was really not as powerful as the impact the other person's name had on him.

After all, as soon as this name comes out... doesn't it prove that Merry is not talking nonsense.

So, the Jinpeng Dynasty and Gu Yihe... are they real...

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but as he was gentle by nature, he would not embarrass the little girl directly by asking her questions at this time, so he still spoke kindly and let her stay .

Of course, after the other party disappeared, he still went to visit.

Although he didn't have any charming thoughts towards Shangguan Feiyan at the moment , he still couldn't bear to see anything happen to the little girl.

And... what is the truth behind this matter, and who are the three former officials of the Jinpeng Dynasty that Meili mentioned... He also wants to know.

Another person who had similar ideas was Tammy.

But he is a little better than Hua Man Lou.

After he saw Shangguan Danfeng and heard him announcing his family status, his first reaction was - so is it the one from the brothel or the one from the jewelry...

Anyway, he didn't believe that Dugu Yihe was disguised as a man. Thinking about it made his eyes irritate .

Naturally, he did not have a relationship with Shangguan Danfeng.

First, it was because he thought that if what Meili said was true, then the other party's identity was Shangguan Feiyan... He was not the kind of Liu Xiahui, a beautiful girl who wanted to give him a hug... but when he thought that it was a fake, the other party still flirted with her. He killed his brother, if he attacks again...

Suddenly, Meri's expressionless face appeared in his mind, with scrutiny and the devilish phrase Who is the wildest man... He immediately trembled and lost all thought.

But what about the Jinpeng Dynasty incident... He will still investigate it.

After all, Meili had revealed so much information to them... Although he was also curious about how the other party knew it, that was only after he investigated.

Before that, he didn't want to alert the enemy, but instead put Meili, who kindly tipped them off, in danger.

Meili, who was worried by others, almost spent all the money after eating, drinking and having fun for a while.

She arrived near Xingyun Village at this time.

The original name of Xingyun Village was Li Yuan. It was originally the ancestral property of Xiao Li Feidao Li Xunhuan . Later, Li Xunhuan's cousin Lin Shiyin married his sworn brother Long Xiaoyun, and at the same time Li Xunhuan left the customs, Li Garden was renamed Xingyun Village.

Of course, Meri knew better.

Although not everything she knew was true, no one knew whether it was true or false until she said it. Even if you say it, it is reasonable and well-founded, and others may not be able to refute it.

Merry himself is naturally more convinced of himself.

But this time, Meili did not mention the love and hatred between Lin Shiyin, Li Xunhuan, and Long Xiaoyun.

It was now the tenth year since Li Xunhuan left the country, and few people mentioned Li Xunhuan.

People are always forgetful.

Meili came here because she vaguely remembered that someone who was against her mentioned Lin Xian'er.

Her memory told her that Lin Xian'er, the most beautiful woman in the world who is now sought after by the world, is a femme fatale, but she would not confront her directly.

She didn't know why, but she felt that Shi Guanyin would teach Lin Xianer how to behave. She just has this crazy confidence.

At this moment, Meili was sitting in the best and largest inn in this town, holding his chin in one hand, thinking about something.

The waiter wiped the table and asked her: Girl, what do you want?

Let's have a plate of duck tongue and a jug of good wine. Meili said and asked, Wait a minute, waiter, are there any storytellers here?

Not now, but if you want to hear it, I'll find it for you...

No, I don't want to listen. Merry said slowly, I'll tell you.

Xiao Er: ......Ah?

Meili's money was all gone, and she didn't want to rob the rich to help the poor for the time being. Although she could ask Hua Manlou for money, he would definitely give it to her, but it was not good to cheat her friends all the time . So she suddenly had an idea... and thought of such a way to make money.

I haven't made any real money yet. ——When he thought of this, Merry was a little excited.

And the story she told was naturally not an ordinary story.

Although he always walks on the dangerous edge of other people's sanity, Meri still has some sense of risk aversion. So she won't directly tell the secret gossip about the existing characters that she knows about here. She chose...characters who are no longer in the world.

But it can’t be too long, otherwise no one will know about it, and naturally they won’t be interested.

After some screening, she selected someone.

The man who disappeared ten years ago because he went to sea, but whose reputation is so great that it is almost universally known - Judy, the Thousand-Faced Young Master.

Meili's so-called story telling was decided after a discussion with the shopkeeper, and the business share for the day of the story telling was also set.

Although Meili thought it was because of his own charisma, only the shopkeeper knew that it was because the inn belonged to the Hua family, and Mr. Hua had promised to take care of this girl.

The day before the storytelling, Meili made a special advertisement. When she came on the stage, no matter what her intentions were, the audience was full.

Merry was very satisfied. After taking his seat, he said, You all know who I am going to talk about today, right?

When people in the audience see such a beautiful girl, no matter what, they should first applaud her.

Others took the initiative to ask: I know, I know! It's about Judy, the Thousand-faced Prince!

Meili nodded with satisfaction: Does everyone know who Mr. Thousand Faces is? Do you know what happened back then?

Of course I know! Mr. Shen Lang is a friend of Mr. Shen!

It is said that they were once sworn enemies, but later became friends!

But according to the legend, didn't the Thousand Faces Master retire and go out to sea with the great hero Shen Lang and his wife? Someone who was listening to the story asked curiously.

Yes, they went out to sea. Everyone knows the story they left in the Central Plains, but what everyone doesn't know is that the story doesn't end there. Merry said slowly with a serious face, The Thousand-Faced Prince Judy did not stop his steps because of this. On the sea, he learned a secret.

In this world, what everyone loves to hear the most is secrets. Plus, everyone has a gossipy heart, so all of a sudden, no matter if they originally thought she was talking nonsense, took it seriously, or just listened for fun, everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

Merry deliberately kept the question a secret and didn't say it directly.

Someone below couldn't help it.

Miss Feng, what's the secret?

Once one person takes the lead, others will follow suit.

Yes, what is the secret? Now that you have mentioned it, don't hide it. Just tell me now.

Merry coughed lightly and said solemnly, When Judy was at sea, she learned about a treasure left by a sea overlord.

There was an uproar below.

What do people around the world love most? First, secrets; second, treasures.

After Merry said this, everyone became a little fanatical.

What treasure?

If it's on the sea... is it King Shi Tian?

Hey you idiot ! King Shi Tian asked Miles to be destroyed a long time ago, it's definitely not the case!

The name of this sea overlord is...Roger! Merry paused and affirmed, He was arrested by the government back then and left a message before his execution - Do you want my treasure? If so. , then go to the sea to find it, I’ll put it all there!

Meri is a woman of the world, and she is one of the most cheerful, heroic and fierce people. When she said that sentence, she was full of energy and willfulness. In conjunction with the content of the sentence, it aroused the imagination and yearning of countless people.

A group of people came to their senses and asked one after another.

And then ?

Where is the treasure? Has it been discovered?

Of course, some people have raised doubts.

Roger, the Overlord of the Sea... Is there such a person?

How come we didn't know that he was arrested and executed by the government...

Of course, those who questioned this were quickly beaten back.

Of course you don't know! You'll know it as soon as you hear it, but the King of the Sea has so many treasures, the government must want to take them all!

It's very likely! After all, it's the government...

I guess Roger said this before he died because he didn't want his treasure to fall into the hands of the government...

Merry ignored the chaotic noise below and coughed twice.

The surroundings immediately became quiet, and no matter what she was thinking, every pair of eyes was fixed on her.

This treasure...finally fell into the hands of one person. Merry looked at the people below the stage and said word by word.

The people in the audience took a breath.

Has it been taken away by someone...

How many treasures are there...

Wait a minute, suddenly talking about this treasure, we were still talking about...ah, could it be...

That's right! It was Judy, the Thousand-faced Young Master, who took it away! Meri patted the table and gave the final answer directly to the last moment of the story. He said passionately, Judy lost the fight. Countless enemies! All the pirates on the sea were convinced by his methods, and finally gave him the title of Pirate King!

Pfft - When everyone was in an uproar, an inconspicuous and plainly dressed middle-aged man sitting in the corner of the inn lobby spat out a mouthful of tea.

Chapter 6

MERRY SAID IT WITH satisfaction, and so did the audience.

But time was limited anyway, so she only said the beginning and stopped.

The audiences were all eager to hear more. Although this was just the beginning and it sounded like a story, it was interesting!

They are all very worried. After discovering the tragic death of his master Aizen, the young man named Gon decided to go out to sea. Did he find his biological father, Master Jin, in the end?

Also, when will Judy the Thousand Faces appear? Or has he already appeared before but is just a fake identity so they don't know?

Meili had no idea what these people were thinking. She took the share given to her by the shopkeeper and went to drink and eat.

The shopkeeper was also very happy. You know, at the beginning, he just wanted to make Meili a fool. Although it might cost a lot of money, he would not be harmed by his boss anyway. So at this time, Meili actually told stories in a serious manner and made him money, which was a pleasant surprise.

The shopkeeper happily arranged a room upstairs for her, provided her with delicious food and drink, and also wrote a letter to report to Hua Manlou.

The shopkeeper was happy, the waiter was happy, the audience who were listening to the story were happy, and the new storyteller Meili was also happy.

At first glance there's nothing wrong with it.

And Meri kept talking for seven days, and his wallet became fatter.

Then, she decided to leave.

When the shopkeeper heard the bad news, he stopped him sincerely: Did we fail to provide good hospitality? Miss Feng, you are a friend of the boss. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, just mention it...

No, no, I didn't plan to stay in one place too long. Meili smiled, Besides, I'm a little worried about Playboy.

Huamanlou is the owner, and the shopkeeper's attention immediately shifted: What news did Miss Feng get? Did something happen to the owner?

Meili's expression became serious: I calculated with my fingers that he was entangled by a bad woman.

Shopkeeper: ... Let's not talk about it for now... Bad women get entangled or something... Okay, friends will also pay attention to this...

Huh? Obviously, the Seventh Young Master has a good relationship with a beautiful woman as a friend who is worried that he will be entangled by a bad woman. Normally, even if he has no bad intentions , he will be excited to match them up. But why does he have no motivation at all now?

It’s obvious that Miss Feng is good in every way.

Before the shopkeeper could figure it out, Merry had already made up his mind to leave.

Naturally, he couldn't stop her, but he felt a little regretful: Alas, Miss Feng's departure will probably take away many people's hearts and minds. I don't know what will happen next. Will Xiaojie get the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword to unlock the secret of the treasure on the sea? And who did the Thousand Faces Prince pretend to be... Was it the Aizen who faked his death, or the bandit leader Kuroro... Ah, it can't be the biological father who has never met, Mr. Jin? Everyone agrees that the prototype of Mr. Jin should be Shen Lang...

It is true that Master Shen Lang and Master Shen have a son. Meili said with a sigh, It is true that I have never met Master Shen.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened in surprise.

But Meili didn't intend to continue talking, and neatly raised his hand: Thank you very much, shopkeeper, for taking care of me these days. I'll take my leave!

The shopkeeper couldn't come to his senses for a long time, and after Meili left, he sighed: The world, the world...

I thought that Shen Lang and Eva were deeply in love as a couple, but I didn’t expect that Shen Lang also had an illegitimate son living outside...

As soon as he turned his head, he shouted to the waiter standing over there: Help Miss Feng check out... and then tell everyone that Miss Feng has something important to leave and the storytelling is suspended.

The waiter smiled and responded attentively: Okay——

What Meili said to the shopkeeper was not bluffing. She really thought Hua Manlou might be in trouble and that was why she went to help.

Because Hua Manlou gave him a letter saying that Tami and he were found by people from the Jinpeng Dynasty.

Originally, the two of them didn't plan to involve Merry, but after all, Merry had said so much before, and not only was he very detailed, but a lot of things also matched...so they had to find someone.

It just so happened that the place where Meili was staying was Hua Manlou's property, so it was very convenient to find someone.

When Merry found Tammy, he was drinking.

While drinking, he tapped the wine glass with chopsticks and sang.

But what he sang over and over again was just two lines: To be successful in life, you must have all the joy, don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon...

Huamanlou was annoyed by his singing and couldn't help but said: Can you change the sentence?

That's it. Merry also said this and walked over to sit across from the two of them. I heard this sound from so far away that I almost didn't want to come.

Tammy stopped then: But you still came.

Meili pointed at Huamanlou and said, Because people are short-tongued, I have to return Huamanlou's favor.

Hua Manlou smiled: Meili, you don't have to be polite, you have already returned the favor.

If we continue like this , I'm afraid there will be no end... Meili sighed, shook his head, and then smiled, Then you just think I'm here because I'm worried about a friend.

Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, then he started to smile, and the depressed mood he had been feeling for the past few days seemed to dissipate a lot.

So...you said you met someone from the Golden Roc Dynasty? Merry asked curiously.

Hua Manlou hesitated for a moment and then began to tell them about what had happened to them in recent days.

Because of the existence of Merry, this wonderful spoiler, Hua Manlou naturally did not fall in love with Shangguan Feiyan as the original trajectory, and Tammy did not do anything because she had doubts from the beginning.

But it was obviously aimed at the two of them, and Merry didn't know everything, so the two naturally chose to go and find out .

But it seems to involve a bigger mystery.

Even if there was no emotional involvement, Hua Manlou did not want a little girl like Shangguan Feiyan to die, even if the other party wanted to plot against him.

Similarly, although Tammy did not have physical contact with Shangguan Danfeng as in the original trajectory, he was still a person who was reluctant to let the beauty die. Coupled with his curiosity... He was afraid that he would take care of this matter to the end.

But those three old ministers...

I remember very clearly that the Shangguan Feiyan and Shangguan Danfeng who appeared in front of you two are the same person. The real royal descendant Shangguan Danfeng has been killed by Shangguan Feiyan. And the one who wants this batch of dynasty treasures should be one of the three old ministers... Meili paused and thought for a moment, then said affirmatively, The leader of the Emei Sect doesn't have much money, and the one who runs the jewelry store is not short of money. By the process of elimination, the most suspicious person is the one who runs the brothel!

Hua Manlou and Tami, who already knew who the three old ministers were, were silent for a while.

After a while, Tammy couldn't hold it in any longer and said, It's Qingyi Building.

Meili wowed : The name of this brothel is quite stylish... huh? Does it sound familiar?

...Of course it sounds familiar! It's Qingyi Tower!

Qingyi Building is not a brothel, but a killer building.

Still the kind that keeps secrets, takes people's money to do things, and doesn't distinguish between good and evil.

Tammy already sensed the difficulty of this matter.

As Meili said, the identities of the three old ministers have been revealed - Dugu Yihe, the leader of the Emei Sect, formerly known as Ping Duhe, Yan Tieshan of the Yan family of Guanzhong Jewelry, formerly known as Yan Liben, and the richest man in the world formerly named Shangguan Mu. Huo Xiu.

The king of the Jinpeng Dynasty asked him and Huamanlou to go. His words were very logical and his request was very reasonable.

He said that the Jinpeng Dynasty's wealth had been swallowed up by three people and there was no hope of restoring the country. He just wanted these three rebellious officials and traitors to return their wealth, and then personally go to the late king's tomb to confess his mistakes.

There is only one word left and right.

Although this request is difficult to achieve, nosy people like Tammy will really help.

Assuming all this is true.

After all, what he heard from his friends before that was another story.

Didn't I tell you everything? In fact, their wealth was divided into four parts and they all dispersed to start a new one. The king who called you over was a fake, and the only true bloodline, Princess Shangguan Danfeng, has been killed. Now that dynasty It’s really all wiped out, Meili said earnestly, Tami, if you don’t believe me, just do it yourself and don’t drag Huamanlou along.

Ta Mi, who was still in a heavy mood, laughed when she heard this: When did you and Hua Man Lou have such a good relationship?

Because Hua Manlou is indeed a good person. Meili's tone was rare and serious, But he is good to help other people, not to make it easier for those people to take advantage of him.

Tammy choked , looking helpless at Hua Manlou who was smiling like a spring breeze.

He was still hesitant before, but now, the balance in his heart is also tilted towards Meili.

Even though it was obviously his second time meeting Merry, they had only known each other for a short time.

"The king of Jinpeng Dynasty said that the owner
