Offering Salted Fish To Master - chapter 20

For a time, Liao Tingyan wondered if this black snake colleague was trying to kill her with a borrowed knife.

But after a few days of observation, she came to the conclusion that the intelligence of this snake and the dog raised by her former roommate was the same. It was difficult to accomplish this kind of technical content in the workplace with its IQ, so she unilaterally forgave her black car’s behavior, and still gave it some bamboo water when it came begging.

Everyone knew that at work, colleagues must share snacks.

In just three days, Liao Tingyan got acquainted with this new job. Her colleague was easy to get along with, and the boss often didn’t show up. Although the work object liked to swear and vomit, it was easy to handle. Generally speaking, she wasn’t dissatisfied. What dissatisfied her was that the journey to work was too hard, and she was desperate to die as she climbed the twenty-story stairs.

After three days, Liao Tingyan couldn’t bear the stairs, so she had to think of a solution. She moved a roll of her bedding to the 22nd floor and simply lived in the central tower so that she wouldn’t have to go upstairs and downstairs every day.

Although she was a little afraid of that ancestor, it was tiring.

On the first day of living on the 22nd floor, she was worried that her master would get angry and put her on the wall as a mural, but the other party didn’t care about her at all.

It was a new moon night. Liao Tingyan was lying on the bed looking at the thin moon outside. The almost completely hidden moon looked hazy and ambiguous in the clouds.

She arranged a place for herself to live in a corner of this floor, with great lighting and ventilation, and good scenery. She had been able to relax like this after the initial tension. She was indifferent to the giant chains outside and could enjoy the moon before going to bed. It could be seen that the potential of human beings was unlimited, and the adaptability was also first-class.

There was no wind that night. Even if the window was open, one could feel the heat coming in from the window. Liao Tingyan was inexplicably restless. So she was still lying there in a daze.

“Today is a new moon!” The flame not far away spoke, and the child’s voice was filled with excitement, “The first new moon that the Three Saints Mountain has seen in 500 years.”

Starting from that morning, the flame changed its swearing threats attitude and became silent. Liao Tingyan watered it and found that the flame got smaller than usual. Compared to its state with the size of the flame, its current state must be very poor. But not only was it not afraid, but it was looking forward to something.

What did it expect?

A chill, and a cold breath poured in from outside the door, and then a dark figure appeared at the door. As he walked around, the hot air that made Liao Tingyan restless cooled down.

Why would Shizu come here this time?

Liao Tingyan went from a relaxed paralysis to a nervous paralysis. She even held her breath unconsciously. Sima Jiao, who walked in, had a gloomy and sullen expression, but his bright red lips hooked upward.

In fact, Liao Tingyan had seen this ancestor appear in the middle of the night before, when the big black snake came to drink bamboo juice, she accidentally looked out the window and saw Sima Jiao twice. At that time, he was also so dark, walking alone on the plain of white jade like a wandering soul. He walked down the Three Saints Mountain and stopped when he reached a certain distance. The chains that imprison the central tower would rattle as he walked down the mountain, and then after a while, he would turn around and walk back. As he walked around, the robe was like a black cloud.

Sima Jiao at this time also had that kind of depression. He walked directly to the flames, stretched out his hand and picked them.

The scarlet flames spread silently throughout his body, and then quickly merged into it.

Looking at this unusual scene, Liao Tingyan slowly picked up the blanket she had kicked aside before, and covered herself. The air-conditioning was too adequate, and it got cold.

It was because of her actions, Sima Jiao looked at her abruptly.　

Liao Tingyan: “…” 

A group of red marks appeared on Sima Jiao’s forehead, which merged with the flames. He still had a gloomy temperament, as if he was raising his hand to kill someone. Liao Tingyan looked at him, but didn’t dare to move.

Sima Jiao raised his hand and picked the flower that was alone in the pool.

Liao Tingyan: “…” Wait, that pool of clear water shouldn’t be the tears of the flame brother while crying, right?

Holding the red lotus, Sima Jiao approached Liao Tingyan, and finally sat down on her couch.

Liao Tingyan only felt the red lotus brush her face, and a faint fragrance penetrated into the tip of her nose, making her instantly refreshed as if she had drunk three bottles of Red Bull.

“Do you know what this is?”

Sima Jiao, who sat on her couch, shook the beautiful red lotus.

Liao Tingyan found that she was hit by the truth spell of this fellow man again, and couldn’t help but answer honestly, “Red lotus.”

Sima Jiao said, “No, this is Fengshan blood congeal flower.”

He asked again, “Do you know what is the use of this thing?”

Liao Tingyan continued to answer, “I know, a petal can be used to cultivate for a thousand years.”

Sima Jiao casually played with the flower on his hands, “Yes, a petal can be used to cultivate for a thousand years. However, if anyone takes it without my blood, even if I only eat a little bit, they will turn into a blood flower.”

Liao Tingyan had cold sweat. Thanks to her nature as a salted fish, she didn’t dare to use this thing there. If she used it, she would have turned into a bloody flower.

Sima Jiao looked at her with strange confusion in his eyes, and asked, “Do you want to kill me?”

‘You seem to have asked this question before. Do I look so murderous?’

 Liao Tingyan slumped there and said, “I don’t want to.”

Sima Jiao laughed, and threw the big red lotus in his hand to her, “Here, for you.”

Although it was a treasure, she couldn’t use it! Liao Tingyan grabbed the flower, with stiff wrists. This stupid boss gave her a box of money without the key. Wasn’t he teasing her?

Sima Jiao put his chin in one hand, and suddenly asked her, “Are you scolding me in your heart?”

Liao Tingyan said, “Yes.”
