The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 850: Warmth
"Why did you kill him?"

The woman's voice sounded faintly, calmly without a trace of emotion.

"Because he wanted to kill me."

Liu Sheng's answer was equally calm.

There are crisp bird songs in my ears and strong floral and incense scents in my nose.

There were two noisy sparrows under the window, a large peony in full bloom in the vase, and the heater in the house was burning brightly, bringing a warm feeling.

Such living conditions are simply unimaginable in the North.

But if you think that this is the study of the famous adjutant Luo Muyu, everything seems reasonable.

But Liu Sheng could see that Luo Muyu didn't like it here.

You could get a clue from the way she frowned when she smelled the incense, and from the way she held the silver spear and poked the big peony flower intermittently.

"He wants to kill you, maybe he has a legitimate reason?"

Luo Muyu tore off a peony petal from the tip of the gun and twisted it between his fingers, which turned bright red like blood.

"Adjutant Luo, do you think so?" Liu Sheng asked back.

Luo Muyu raised his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You are quite courageous."

"Thank you for the compliment." Liu Sheng's expression remained unchanged.

"Do you think I won't punish you?"

"If you really wanted to punish me, you wouldn't let me stand here and answer."

"He's a smart man."

"I hear this a lot."

Luo Muyu stared at Liu Sheng closely. "But smart people are most likely to die quickly because of their own cleverness - unless you have enough strength."

Liu Sheng also looked at Luo Muyu calmly.

“I don’t deny this.”

The two looked at each other, and a subtle spark collided between them.

After a while, Luo Muyu spoke up: "Your strength is far superior to that idiot Zhuo Ruhang. It's a pity that he was shortsighted and was fooled by you, and finally lost his life in vain. But you killed the Northern Border Army... The Northern Border will not tolerate you."

"He arrested people for no reason, so he deserves it." Liu Sheng raised his eyes slowly, "What's more... Adjutant Luo, you should find a way to accommodate me, right?"

Luo Muyu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"You are indeed very smart."

"Then do you know why I tolerate you?"

"You can see my strength, and..." Liu Sheng paused and continued, "I have the ability to heal these weird people."

Luo Muyu smiled: "That's right."

"You can see the current situation..."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly focused and looked outside the door.

Liu Sheng also sensed it.

There were footsteps in the flower-filled courtyard, and without any announcement, the door was pushed open.

A man with peach blossom eyes and a lazy look walked into the study with a smile on his face. The two birds immediately started chirping excitedly.

"Go on, don't mind me."

He sat next to Luo Muyu in a familiar manner, picked up the purple clay teapot on the table, poured himself a drink, smacked his lips and said:
"Adjutant Luo, the tea you have here doesn't seem to be good enough. It tastes astringent. I have some Lingqiu Erh tea sent by Lord Xin. I'll have someone send some over for you to try later."

"Thank you very much, Captain Hu." Luo Muyu said calmly without being annoyed.

"Adjutant Luo, you are being too formal. Now that we are all working under the governor, we naturally have to rely on and support each other, don't we?" Captain Hu gave him a deep look and smiled.

"Of course." "So when I heard that you had a talented person here, I immediately became curious! I wanted to see what kind of talent he was that could be solemnly invited into the study by Adjutant Luo." Captain Hu said meaningfully.

Luo Muyu nodded: "Here, this is Manager Ling from the Snow Mountain."

Captain Hu looked at Liu Sheng.

But the girl just looked at him indifferently, with no awe or disgust in her eyes, just an undisguised indifference, almost like neglect.

This kind of look irritated Captain Hu the most.

But there was still a smile on his face.

"Talented people do have tempers."

"But I heard that he is just a servant in the Snow Mountain, right? Why is he called 'Lord Ling'? It will not cause misunderstanding..."

"I wonder what Captain Hu might have misunderstood?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Well, it's nothing." Captain Hu waved his hand, still smiling, "I just suddenly remembered an official from Beijing who was afraid of the severe cold at the Great Wall and fled early."

He spoke lightly, without noticing that Liu Sheng's fingertips hanging at his side tightened slightly.

"It seems that Miss Ling has some ability to be a manager in Snow Mountain despite her temper."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly and did not deny it.

"In that case, I hope you can show your ability and help these weirdos recover..."

Captain Hu spoke in a slow and drawn-out voice.

"These servants are about to die. I wonder how heartbroken the masters are. After all, the masters... are the most kind and holy beings in the world. Although the ghosts have not served for a long time, they have developed feelings for them..."

He pretended to sigh and changed the subject:
"So, if Steward Ling can help these adults solve their problems, perhaps, what you want...what Xueshan wants, may not be impossible to get."

Although it is not explicitly stated who "we" refers to, it is obvious to anyone who has stayed in the outer city for some time.

Liu Sheng only smiled faintly: "Then please ask Captain Hu to provide a more spacious residence so that I can accommodate the strange people and take care of them together."

"Of course you can. There are plenty of empty houses in the outer city. I'll find someone to clean them up."

Captain Hu nodded, then looked at Luo Muyu with a hypocritical smile, "Adjutant Luo, do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Ever since Captain Hu stepped into the study, Luo Muyu had been fiddling with the peony with his head down, seemingly having no intention of interjecting.

Hearing the question, he just nodded expressionlessly and said, "Captain Hu's arrangement is naturally appropriate."

Captain Hu was very satisfied with Luo Muyu's performance. He tapped his smooth chin and pretended to think:

"Of course, we can't do this indefinitely. After all... time is tight, right, Adjutant Luo?"

After a moment's silence, Luo Muyu looked up and said to Liu Sheng, "I'll give you fifteen days to cure all the weirdos in the Great Wall. Is that ok?"

Captain Hu immediately raised his voice in an exaggerated tone:

"Fifteen days? That's too long. You know, in fifteen days, the Divine Blessing Tour will arrive at the North. This is the last stop! By then, even the Holy Temple will come here to pray for the world, strengthen the Great Wall, and suppress the weirdness. At this moment, if we can present our great achievements as the blasphemers to the Holy Temple, wouldn't it be a blessing on top of a blessing?"

He added: "If the governor were here, he would definitely say the same thing. I know it very well."

Luo Muyu lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the peony, saying calmly: "Then I wonder how many days do you think are appropriate, Lord Governor?"

Captain Hu looked at Liu Sheng, his smile deepening: "I heard that the little girl you saved that day was so badly injured but she recovered in just three days... Manager Ling really has extraordinary skills."

"How about seven days?"

"Within seven days, all the weirdos on the Great Wall will be cured. Are you willing to accept this?"

As she spoke, her peach blossom eyes blossomed like peony flowers.

I thought Liu Sheng might look embarrassed, but unexpectedly, she nodded without changing her expression.

"can."

"But I have a condition."
