The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 709: Bell Shadow
The blurry figure was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a sinister tone, "You knew I would come?"

"You didn't really want to kill me when you were in the restaurant, did you?" Zhao Chen asked instead of answering. Then he got off the bed and walked straight to the figure. While touching the shadow covering the other person's face with his hand, he smiled and said, "And I have guessed who you are..."

"Feimeng!"

As these two words came out, the shadows on the visitor's face disappeared, revealing a face of indescribable beauty.

She has willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, eyelashes as thin as a brush, a straight nose, and lips of moderate thickness. Except for her slightly pale face, everything about her is perfect, and she is not inferior to Ming Xueling and Zheng Qingyan.

Although she doesn't look like Fei Meng, her attitude is clearly revealed.

"How did you guess it was me?" After being recognized, Qi Feimeng no longer used the disguised eerie voice, but instead spoke in a clear and magnetic voice, "I don't think I have revealed any flaws... In fact, before I came here, I was still thinking about how to gain your trust."

Zhao Chen smiled and responded, "Because when you escaped before, you left your traces too cleanly, so clean that my Dongxu Eyes couldn't see any clues at all. This is actually very abnormal.

“Even if Master Dongxuan deliberately erased his aura, my Dongxu Eyes would not be able to provide sufficient intelligence support for the Identification ability, and I would not get nothing like this.

"Only you who know me and my abilities well enough can do this.

"And the black light you attacked me with seemed to be going straight for my vital points, but it was actually just a scare... Specifically, the 'defense spell' I added to the 'Spirit God Body Protection Spell' didn't consume any 'star coins' at all."

Of course, there is another point. When you emerged from the shadows just now, the little monkey did not give you another warning.

Obviously, it has predicted that you will not hurt me this time.

And when we were in the restaurant, the reason why its hair stood up was probably because it "saw" the black light suddenly shining towards me.

"It seems that being overly cautious can sometimes reveal your true colors..." Qi Feimeng's new "alias" said self-deprecatingly, and then asked, "But based on this alone, you can't be sure that I am Qi Feimeng, and I will come to see you at night, right?
"After all, you can't rule out the possibility that I'm gifted in cleaning up traces."

Zhao Chen nodded slightly: "In fact, I am not sure... But since you are here and no longer hostile, plus the doubts you just mentioned, the possibility that you are Fei Meng is quite high."

As he spoke, he pointed to the storage bag on the waist of the girl who had completely walked out of the shadows, and added with a smile,
"And the more important point is that even though you said you didn't know how to make me trust you, you carried with you something that could make me trust you."

"So that's how it is. It seems that this thing sold me out..." Qi Feimeng pouted and took out a white long skirt from the storage bag. It had a simple design and was dotted with ice crystals on the surface, which was very beautiful.

This is exactly the gift that Zhao Chen gave to Qi Feimeng - the magic weapon "Xuanbing Feather Robe".

Since this magic weapon has passed through Zhao Chen's hands, it has naturally become his "commodity". It would be fine if it was far away, but at such a close distance, it is difficult to escape the "collector's" instinctive detection.

After actually seeing this "Mysterious Ice Feather Robe", Zhao Chen let down his last bit of defense, took the initiative to pull Fei Meng to sit at the small table beside the bed, and poured them each a glass of Guannei's unique sparkling water.

"Where did you get this 'incarnation' from?" Zhao Chen asked curiously after taking a look at the image of Fei Meng's "vest".

It must be said that each of Fei Meng's "incarnations" grows in line with her own aesthetics, no wonder they are all "connected" with her. "Strictly speaking, this is not my 'incarnation', but 'her'... As a result, when she came to assassinate me, I 'snatched' her away, which will not be counted in the total number of 'incarnations' in my supernatural power stage." Qi Fei Meng answered vaguely.

"'She'?" Zhao Chen frowned. "Qin Sheng said that my 'fate' with you is too deep and will bring me danger and pain. Is it because of 'her'?"

"Part of the reason is..." Qi Feimeng's answer was still ambiguous, "Qin Sheng should have told you that you have to discover my secret yourself. I can't tell you on my own."

I see... Zhao Chen touched his chin thoughtfully and asked again: "If you can take her 'incarnation', she should be able to take yours too, right? Is the 'Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Heart Sutra' a technique with unique attributes?"

He had read relevant content from Chai Xun's memory palace and had a certain understanding of it.

"That's the theory... But as long as my avatar doesn't leave Daxia, 'she' can't do it at the moment." Qi Feimeng's new avatar didn't want to continue the topic after replying this sentence, and asked, "Can you guess the identity of this 'avatar' now?"

Seeing that Fei Meng refused to say more, Zhao Chen could only put these issues aside for the time being. Anyway, when he set his long-term goals, he had already included the item of "thoroughly studying Fei Meng", so there was no need to rush.

After thinking for a moment, he responded affirmatively: "Most likely a killer... from the underworld?"

"You guessed it right." Qi Feimeng narrowed his eyes, "Remember, this 'incarnation' is named Zhong, with a single character named Ying, and is the head of the Punishment Department of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion in the Central 'Yinsi'.

"And she has another identity... She is the illegitimate daughter of the Zhong family, and the niece of the current queen."

"Zhong Ying... the current queen's niece? It seems that the 'Underworld' is indeed not on good terms with the royal family. No wonder this organization can gain a foothold in Zhongzhou, where the rules are the most prevalent."

Zhao Chen had long speculated about the killer organization called "Yinsi", and even suspected that the so-called "Empress Pingxin" who founded the organization might have an affair with the Emperor Gaozu of Daxia.

Now it seems that this possibility may not be impossible.

Well...it is known that Lord Moyun and "Empress Pingxin" are in a hostile relationship, and Moyun is the queen of Zhao Song.

When Daxia attacked Song, Emperor Gaozu went to seek help from "Empress Pingxin", so it was reasonable for the two to become friends.

"Because this 'incarnation' was taken from 'her', it cannot be close to you in public, lest you be exposed...but all 'incarnations' have a 'connection' with you, and it is impossible to avoid them completely, so I accepted the mission of assassinating you..."

At this point, Fei Meng, or Zhong Ying, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile: "Do you know how much you are worth?"

"How many?"

"That's a full 13,000 strings of cash!"
