The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Zhuang Mu stood up, "What kind of name is important? What matters is that he has the ability."

Xu Yao shook his head: "Is that his strength? That's Yuan Qingzong's."

During these days of getting along, Xu Yao felt that although Pei Shuo seemed to have control over Yuan Qingzong, Yuan Qingzong also had a stranglehold on Pei Shuo.

Otherwise, if Pei Shuo really inherited Wuming's internal strength and skills, he might have a way to break free from Yuan Qingzong.

"You always want to fight against Yuan Qingzong, but you don't think about it. In fact, Yuan Qingzong has the same goal as you. It also wants to unify the world. If Pei Shuo can go with the flow, unify the world, and become the new master of the world, then the power he can obtain will only be stronger.

I have known Ah Shuo for a long time, and I have some understanding of his personality. In terms of ability and means, he is not inferior to anyone. In terms of character..."

Zhuang Mu smiled and said, "Don't think that he has been tortured by Yuan Qingzong for a long time. Sometimes people find it difficult to control themselves. But when I saw him today, it was probably because of you that his condition has stabilized a lot. Before I met you, I would never have dared to think so, but after seeing you, I think he might be able to give it a try."

Xu Yao felt that these people really thought highly of her, and she herself didn't even think she had that ability.

Pei Shuo was seriously listening to her, so why would he force himself that night?

These days, he has been pestering me almost every time he has time.

After the window paper was broken, Pei Shuo no longer pretended and would always hold her in his arms when he went to sleep at night.

Xu Yao sometimes felt like he was coaxing a child.

He can't fall asleep if you don't coax him.

She felt that the situation was too complicated for her to handle.

After seeing Zhuang Mu off, Xu Yao fell asleep early.

She had a dream at night. She dreamed that she was walking on the streets of the capital. The streets that were once prosperous were now littered with corpses and filled with smoke.

She heard a child crying. Xu Yao went in the direction of the crying and saw a little girl with tattered clothes and blood all over her body, crying very pitifully.

Seeing Xu Yao, she was limping and staggering towards Xu Yao. She hugged Xu Yao tightly. The short child could only hug Xu Yao's calf. Even so, she still tilted her head back and cried for her mother.

Xu Yao was panicked. Looking at this face, he felt that it was similar to himself and also to Pei Shuo.

She asked the girl in a panic: "Where is your mother?"

The girl shed tears and said, "You are my mother, mother, please save me, it's so scary here, people are killing people everywhere, mother, please take me away, I'm scared."

Her crying made Xu Yao so heartbroken that he sat up in panic.

Xu Yao hurriedly felt her pulse and found it was calm, so she was not pregnant.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then she remembered that she had been so upset these days that she seemed to have forgotten to use contraception. If this continued, it was possible that she already had a child.

Xu Yao lay in bed unable to sleep all night, and suddenly realized an important problem. If she was pregnant, the child would most likely be born in troubled times.

Can she watch her child survive in this chaotic world?

Xu Yao found it hard to imagine that kind of scene. In the end times, the most frightening thing was seeing children. The parents of those children lost their lives in order to protect their children. Some lucky children would be rescued, while some unfortunate children would become food for zombies or living people.

Xu Yao didn't dare to think about what kind of hardship the child would suffer if she got pregnant and was born in troubled times.

If she couldn't accept her own child living such a life, then how could millions of parents in this world accept their children living in troubled times?

Xu Yao waited until midnight before Pei Shuo came back.

Seeing that she was still awake, Pei Shuo asked with concern: "Can't sleep? If you can't sleep, we can do something else."

Xu Yao ignored him and said that he just had a nightmare and woke up.

"What nightmare did you have, Ayao? Tell me about it and I will interpret it for you."

Xu Yao deliberately provoked him, "I dreamed that you killed me and went to reconcile with Liu Moyan. You two were in love and you even raised a child for her. You said that you only used me from beginning to end and didn't have a single bit of love for me. I watched you being hacked to death and finally having no place to bury your body."

This is a common cliché in many novels, where the scumbag ruthlessly kills the heroine or the supporting actress for the sake of his white moonlight.

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuo knelt on one knee. Xu Yao was sitting on the edge of the bed, shocked for a moment.

Under Xu Yao's shocked gaze, Pei Shuo put a bracelet on Xu Yao.

"What are you doing?"

"There is a drug in here that can restrain me. If one day I betray you, you can use it to kill me. I will have no complaints."

Xu Yao looked at the special gold bracelet and said with a half-smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you right now?"

Pei Shuo held her hand and smiled at her, without a trace of fear in his eyes. "I am willing to die in Ayao's hands."

Xu Yao saw a hint of weirdness and madness in his eyes, and couldn't help wanting to take off the bracelet, but found that he couldn't take it off no matter what.

"It was specially made. You can't take it off unless you die or cut off your hand."

Xu Yao didn't believe it at all and was about to use his bone-shrinking skill in front of him.

Pei Shuo held her hand and said, "Master, please don't take it off."

Xu Yao suddenly found that something moved behind his ear. She reached out to touch it, but the thing disappeared.

Pei Shuo's eyes were moved by her actions.

"No, calm down... I, I am..."

Before Xu Yao could finish his words, Pei Shuo pinned him down.

In the darkness of the night, Pei Shuo hugged Xu Yao tightly and fell asleep peacefully in her arms.

Xu Yao waited until he fell asleep before touching behind his ear, and finally felt something move.

Xu Yao thought, could this be the thing that Yuan Qingzong used to control him?

While Pei Shuo was asleep, Xu Yao quietly got up and walked to the table.

He took out a set of silver needles, pierced Pei Shuo's fingertips, dripped a few drops of blood, then cut his nails and combed his hair, put them in a box, and hid them quietly.

The next day, after Pei Shuo left, Xu Yao used the method he learned from the Immortal of the South China Sea. He used a special herb, added Pei Shuo's blood, hair and nails, mixed them and burned them. The ashes emitted purple light.

Xu Yao immediately understood that Pei Shuo's body was not only poisonous but also contained a special poisonous insect.

The smell produced by this poisonous insect made Xu Yao feel familiar, as if she had smelled it somewhere before.

Xu Yao couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go look for Old Man Qu, but he found out that he was not there.

The servant said that Pei Shuo took the man away to treat his illness.

"If you feel unwell, please ask the doctor to come in."

Xu Yao refused. The situation outside was very chaotic and there was nothing wrong with her health, so it was better not to cause trouble.

She was about to leave when she suddenly thought, does Old Man Qu have any contraceptive pills? She must get some. Pei Shuo is so crazy, she really doesn't dare to have a child now.

She pushed the door open and searched the room for a while. Suddenly, she smelled a familiar scent. She followed the scent and found an alchemy furnace. The furnace was already filled with ashes. The familiar smell startled Xu Yao.
