Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 243: Legend of the Blood Clan (27)

As there were many problems within the blood clan and no time to rest, Shi Qi set out early in the morning.

Her plan was to resolve the drought and flooding in the west and south of the city within three months, and then deal with the problem of fallen vampires in the east of the city within a month.

To avoid being sabotaged by someone with ulterior motives, Shi Qi kept a low profile and asked Dier and his men to ensure the logistics and affairs system in the castle. Only Wen Liang and a few hidden guards went with her to the western part of the city where the drought was severe.

The hidden guards were naturally only visible in times of crisis. At this moment, on the spacious road, there were only Shi Qi and Wen Liang, and Wen Liang had temporarily regained his original appearance.

He was handsome, masculine, yet delicate, with a calm expression and bright eyes. The man was shirtless, wearing a black scarf, with full muscles and smooth lines. The shallow scar on his right face made him look wild and unrestrained. Perhaps because he rarely saw the sun, his skin was very white.

The overall feeling is quite different from the previous children's style. In Shi Qi's words...

Bald: "Looks like a cool hero, huh?"

This time the child doesn’t look like the enchanting Meizu, but rather looks like the leader of a peasant uprising in an illustration in a history book.

Bald: Sorry to bother you...

"How did you get the scar on your face?" Shi Qi spoke first during the rare time they had alone.

"Stop meddling in other people's business. We're already outside. There's no need for you to pretend to be kind. Your Highness should think about how to deal with the drought." The man said in a stiff tone and moved closer to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi curled her lips: "It's really not cute at all."

"Now that you've said that, be honest. Since you came to the Blood Clan and followed me here, and have repeatedly used mind control on me, isn't it all... for the blood mark?"

Wen Liang paused and raised his eyebrows with interest: "How did you find out? Oh no, you are very smart, I should ask... when did you find out?"

"Mind your own business. There's no need to pretend to care about me. You should just think about how to completely control my consciousness and get the blood mark~" Shi Qi said, stuffing a thick book into the man's arms and touching his hair.

"Here, this is a gift from me to you. It will be useful for your control method. Learn it well... I'm looking forward to the day when you can completely control me." After Shi Qi retorted to the child, he was in a good mood and his steps forward were much lighter.

Wen Liang, who was being scolded, looked at Shi Qi who had already walked away, and then looked at the booklet in her arms. Although she looked doubtful, she still quietly put it in her arms.

It didn't matter if he was discovered. Since he could control her briefly, it was only a matter of time before he could completely control her will...

Wen Liang put away the booklet, looked at the dark yellow sky in the distance, concentrated his attention, quickened his pace and caught up.

But it took him a long time to realize that any control... was useless on her.

She was awake throughout.

Of course...that’s all in the past.

……

The blood clan is very large, so large that it would take half a day to tour a city district according to the teleportation speed of vampires, let alone the entire blood clan.

The West District is the largest of the four districts, with the steepest terrain and the most impoverished and backward area. The climate is dry and rainy all year round, but because it is surrounded by water and has a fixed water supply, it does not affect normal life.

This year, the only large canal here failed, and the water from the west of the city flowed into the rainy south of the city. The drought here became increasingly serious, and the south of the city...was flooded.

In other words, as long as the drought in the west of the city is resolved, the flood in the south of the city will be much easier to deal with.

And the root of the problem... lies in the damaged canal.

It’s just that the canal is located at a high altitude and is surrounded by mountains, so nature has formed a natural protective shield for it. In addition, there are people who inspect and repair it every year. How could it suddenly malfunction?

Or... are some responsible persons cutting corners to make huge profits?

As Shi Qi was thinking, his throat started to itch. He took a light breath and coughed, and felt a lot of yellow sand in his mouth.

Looking around, the yellow soil on the ground had cracked into deep grooves. Wherever you look, there is dust and no grass.

When you get here, you feel like you have traveled to the world of western cowboys.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I didn't know it has come to this point. It seems we have to repair the canal as soon as possible." Shi Qi held his breath and said softly.

"There is no one in this area, and we don't know where they have gone. And...are you vampires also afraid of natural disasters like drought and floods?" Wen Liang said, subconsciously walking in front of Shi Qi to block the wind and sand.

He didn't know why, but he felt a little panicked when he heard her coughing. Maybe the backlash from last time was too severe and made him dazed.

Shi Qi's mouth froze, and he explained: "We just have magic that can make us live forever. The food we eat is different from humans, but we still rely on nature to survive. In the face of natural disasters, we are also fragile and insignificant."

"Oh, I see. The terrain here is very complicated. There may be a storm surge later. Let's find a place to stay first." Wen Liang put his fingers in front of his eyes, squinted with difficulty, and searched for the general direction.

"Go this way, there should be a main road here." After a while, Wen Liang turned around and said to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi was a little curious. This place was very dry and cracked, and there was no trace of a road on the ground. How did the child push it out? "How did you know?"

"Not necessarily, it's just a guess. We just arrived at the west of the city, and we should be in the lowest place in the west of the city now. When there was water before, the underground soil should have been relatively moist, so the cracks were small. The cracks in our place are very large, and it is the driest place. People should now gather in relatively moist places that can preserve water, such as the mountainside." Wen Liang explained carefully.

Shi Qi was stunned when he heard this, and blinked at Wen Liang, "How do you know all this? Are you studying geology?"

Every child in the world has their shining point. The more you look at them, the more likable they become, and the more promising they become.

Suddenly meeting Shi Qi's probing and admiring gaze, Wen Liang's face turned red, and he said awkwardly: "Well, there are many strange and weird places in the Meizu. I have been to many places and have been to many places. Over time, I have become more familiar with it."

"Oh~" Shi Qi nodded.

"There is too much dust on you, stay away from me. It's really strange, why am I telling you these things when you don't understand." Wen Liang shook his head and walked forward.

Shi Qi's mouth twitched, and he was a little annoyed. He shouted in a sullen voice from behind: "Who are you looking down on? I'll give you a chance to say it again!"

"Hey! Kid...explain it to me again!"

"Did you hear that..."

"you…"

Wen Liang listened to the shouting behind him, and seemed to be able to imagine her hugging her chest and stamping her feet with her cheeks puffed up with anger.

As I thought about it, an unconscious smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

……

Finally, before dark.

They found a... and only one, a small inn in the desolate wilderness.

Shi Qi stared at the shaky lamp on the wooden door, and hesitated: "Is this... really a hotel?"

Wen Liang raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it written on the sign? Signature Hotel.

Signature hotel?

Shi Qi pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.

"There's no place to live nearby now. Oh, I forgot that Your Highness is of noble status and cannot live here. Can you look somewhere else?" Wen Liang stood under the lamp and shrugged innocently.

Shi Qi always felt that the child was most likely seriously ill this time. How could he be so vicious?

"No need for that. You'd better think about yourself carefully, otherwise you won't know how your blood dried up in the middle of the night." Shi Qi raised his head, glanced at Wen Liang, and walked inside in his leather boots.

Wen Liang chuckled and followed closely.

He himself was also confused. He was apparently a gentle and calm person, but why did he always want to tease Shi Qi when he was with her?

This woman...did she take advantage of the backlash against him and cast some spell on him?!

How abominable!

"You two, what a coincidence, we only have one room left. I wonder what is your relationship...? Is it convenient for you to stay in the same room?" The speaker was the store manager at the counter, a charming, mature and elegant woman who was out of place in this shabby hotel.

Shi Qi: “Husband and wife.”

Wen Liang: "Enemy."

Manager:?

"Hmm? I mean... is it convenient for you two to live together?"

Shi Qi: “It’s very convenient.”

Wen Liang: "Absolutely impossible."

Store Manager: Ah, this...

Although the answers are different, they are very synchronized.

"Hahaha, you two had an argument, right? How can a couple hold a grudge overnight? There is no extra place to stay now. If you want to go somewhere else, the road will be very dangerous." The store manager clapped his hands and laughed, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Although we only have one room left, it has everything we need. It's a romantic room for couples, and it has everything we need..." Seeing Shi Qi lowering his head, the store manager whispered in Wen Liang's ear.

Wen Liang was stunned, her cheeks flushed pink: "What are you talking about? Just one room... one room! Please prepare another quilt."

Two people were arguing here, and Shi Qi lowered his head.

At this moment, my mind is filled with sadness and anger.

'The child rejected her...'

'How dare the child refuse her?'

"It really needs repairing!"
