As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me

Under the setting sun, a farewell with a mixture of sadness and humor is taking place on the riverside.

Bai Xi looked at Lin Xiao on the shore reluctantly, jumping up and down and looking back. After swimming for a long time, most of his body was still in the water.

If Master Lin hadn't been so angry and showed no mercy, she might have thought of dragging him back into the water to live with him.

"Then you have to come and play with me more often!"

"No."

"why?"

Bai Xi was stunned by the answer and was not used to his good friend's behavior of turning his back on him.

"Your Highness, you should go back."

Lin Xiao did not give a direct answer, but just urged the little guy to go home with a cold face.

But she called out the title of "Your Highness" again, which made the little fellow, whose intelligence had increased a lot, start to think subconsciously.

"Well, goodbye, good friend."

"Well, good-bye, good friend."

Hearing that Lin Xiao did not deny the word friend, Bai Xi inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

She took one last look with a somewhat fearful look, and then disappeared with a whoosh.

After a long while, the water surface returned to completely calm.

Lin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief and silently said to the water, "I'm sorry."

Make friends with the little princess, she has a special purpose.

It is not only for the feeling of clearing one's mind, but also to try to find a possible way back home in the water.

The Nianxiang River begins at Jieguan and flows through various regions of the Real Realm. So where is its source?

According to conventional geographical knowledge, most large rivers originate from high mountains and are derived from meltwater from glaciers.

If it were the current river, Lin Xiao was not sure whether this theory was true, but he could not rule out this possibility.

She never forgot that she suddenly fell into the river while walking, and then followed the current to the boundary pass.

This shows that the source of Nianxiang River at least crossed the boundary pass and extended towards the boundary sea.

Of course, water routes are only an alternative.

After all, humans are not fish, and the earth gives us a greater sense of security.

After figuring out the general outline, Lin Xiao shook off the mud and sand on his body, stood up and left the riverside.

Not long after she left, a big white fish quietly surfaced and looked at the receding figure with great confusion.

why?

Why don’t my good friends come and play with me?

[Because you are too weak, you could be captured at any time, and your friends don’t want you to be in danger because of themselves.]

【Mother……】

[Oh, now you know how to call me mother? Come, my little Princess Bai Xi, let's continue our duel. ]

Bai Xi: "..."

It’s strange, why does it feel like a familiar taste, just like the unpalatable green fruit I ate before?

"Mother, I went to see my third grandfather, and he said he would give me a gem."

gem?

Looking at the little guy running away quickly, the King of White Jade sighed, and then couldn't help laughing.

The child is my own, so how could I not see his little thoughts? I just hope Uncle San doesn’t get sick from being angry.

Lin Xiao, Bai Xi...

She silently repeated the two names, and then prayed as a mother: May this little human girl have a positive influence on her own child.

Bai Yu does not belong to the demon race, but their essence is the same. Many of their concepts and morals are far from those of humans.

The most typical example is cannibalism.

It is true that the little princess is the only heir to the tribe, but that is only after she becomes intelligent.

Before that, she was just one of billions of fish eggs, one of the thousands of small fish that successfully hatched...

Other Baiyu may have brothers and sisters, but the royal bloodline must maintain its blood concentration and can only be passed down to one person.

The King of White Jade was worried that after being in contact with humans for too long, his children would begin to doubt this way of survival, which would affect their state of mind.

Logically, Bai Xi should be prevented from learning from humans.

But somehow, the fact that only humans can achieve enlightenment gave this king a hint of ambition.

If her child follows the path of the human race, will it...

After the huge wave, the water took a long time to calm down. At this time, Lin Xiao was ready to enter the city.

"Girl, the city lord wants to see you."

At the city gate, the person who blocked Lin Xiao's way was none other than Lao Li's brother-in-law Wang Changsheng, who was also the source of the news of "the fool falling into the water".

He tried his best to maintain a kind expression and politely invited the girl in front of him with full sincerity.

At least in Wang Changsheng's mind, this is the fact.

From Lin Xiao's perspective, he saw a man who was taller and more burly than Uncle Ma, with a scar on his face, saying in a muffled voice that the city lord wanted to see him...

Combined with the large ring knife on the shoulder, the flavor of the society is simply overwhelming!

After just one encounter, Lin Xiao had already figured out the other party's moves.

So, she made full use of her habit of treating people differently and chose a completely different way of dealing with the situation.

"Okay, please lead the way, Lord City Guard."

City Guard? Also, sir?

Normally, Wang Changsheng was never called anything else except "son of a bastard", "debt collector" and "dead face".

He could swear on his head that the name the little girl just said was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard in his life.

"Don't be afraid, girl. The city lord's grandson likes to stir up trouble, otherwise everyone would have forgotten that there is such a person. Because you are an outsider, you are targeted, do you understand?"

"I understand. Thank you, Lord City Guard, for your advice."

Lin Xiao bowed and thanked him solemnly, with gratitude clearly written on his face.

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

The effect of doing so is obvious.

"No, it's okay."

The big man with a fierce look on his face started to walk with his hands folded.

Not only that, he felt that he could not let such a good girl suffer, so he simply exposed the city lord's past.

"Little girl, let me tell you, the city lord can't beat anyone here, and no one can control him. If you've been wronged, go and cry to Liu Niang, and she will definitely tear down your shack and make him sleep on the street."

"This... my aunt is so powerful?"

"What do you think!"

Speaking of Liu Erniang, Wang Changsheng subconsciously looked around, fearing that he would be caught red-handed.

If that woman wasn't so powerful, my brother-in-law wouldn't be unable to enter my sister's room because of a joke about "white buttocks".

"Well, since the City Lord is in this situation, you..." Lin Xiao judged that what the big man said should be true, but he noticed something unusual from it.

Does the city lord want to see me, or is this uncle taking this opportunity to tell me all this?

"Oh, turtle... The city lord promised to give me two hundred yuan in reward, so he asked me to come and treat you."

Wang Changsheng didn't expect that the girl his brother-in-law was talking about would be so perceptive. He calmly took out the words he had prepared.

This is actually the truth. If there is no benefit, who would be willing to run errands for this bastard?

"understood."

Hearing the sound of calling someone a bastard, Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing.

She walked behind the uncle, chatting with him casually, and learned many secrets that only city people knew.

For example, there is a tradition of ringing bells on the city tower when the old year turns to the new year every year.

The person who rings the bell can only be the city lord, first three, last three, and three more times, a total of nine times.

And this is also the fundamental reason why there is a city lord in this place.

"Uncle Wang, according to what you said, the city lord can't beat anyone, and no one believes in him. How did he become the city lord?"

"Uh……"

Wang Changsheng was stunned at first, then he looked at the little girl deeply and said, "Because he can't beat anyone!"

After explaining the reason, he gave Lin Xiao a look that said "figure it out yourself" and he immediately understood the reason, which made him speechless.

If you choose a strong one, there will always be people who will not accept it, making it difficult for everyone to live a peaceful life.

Reverse selection solves the problem perfectly!

My Lord City Lord, I’m afraid you are not a poor little thing who can be bullied by anyone.

Lin Xiao naturally had such thoughts, but when she saw the real person, she felt that she was extremely wrong.

The city lord is not as simple as he seems.

"Girl, here, this is the city lord. Remember what I said, don't be afraid."

In front of the house that was about to collapse, Wang Changsheng pursed his lips and reluctantly pointed at the green-robed scholar not far away, not hiding the strong emotion in his tone at all.

"Thank you, Lao Wang."

"Bullshit, don't do these empty things."

The scholar looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, put on a quick smile, and pulled out a hundred coins from his waist.

"Grandson, how dare you play tricks on me?" When Lao Wang found out that the kickback fee was halved, he immediately glared with his eyes wide open, full of murderous intent.

"Old Wang, take it first. I will make up for it when I have enough money."

The city lord used kind words to appease his irritable subordinates.

"Humph, if you dare to default on your debt, I will tear down your rotten shack."

Lao Wang gave a fierce warning and winked at Lin Xiao before leaving, asking the latter to learn from him.

As the sound of the obscene tune faded away, the two people who met for the first time made their first eye contact, each judging something in their heart.

"Girl, where are you from?"

The city lord asked the question first. Lin Xiao kept in mind his uncle's instructions and handled it if he could. If he couldn't, he would prepare to call for help.

"My Lord City Lord, do I have to tell you this?"

In other places, facing the lord of a city, Lin Xiao’s question would be a provocation.

But this is the border pass, a border pass where any dog ​​has a more prominent presence than the city lord.

When the city lord heard the little girl's answer, he not only did not feel strange, but instead had a strange feeling in his heart.

Although it was mostly a rejection, the girl at least used a question, which was an act of seeking her opinion. How polite.

Well, good boy.

After thinking for a while, the city lord couldn't help but laugh.

He looked just as Lao Wang described, a complete show-off.

But in fact, the city lord’s question just now and Lin Xiao’s response can be interpreted from another perspective.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Just pretend I didn't ask." (Little girl, you are very confident!)

"Thank you for your understanding." (It's OK.)

"You're welcome. Miss, are you planning to stay here permanently, or?" (Are you just passing by, or did you come here on purpose?)

"Is there any difference?" (Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?)

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I want to tell you that if you want to stay here permanently, I can find you a cheaper house. Lao He is a shady guy." (Leave as soon as possible if you have nothing to do. You don't belong here.)

"No need to bother. My aunt found the house for me. Uncle He is quite kind. I will come to see you when I need you." (Don't worry, I will leave when the time comes.)

The two sides fought back and forth, at the doorstep of a dilapidated building that was barely habitable, engaging in a confrontation that ordinary people could not understand.

After their eyes met for the second time, they immediately refreshed the database.

Just as Lin Xiao was preparing for the next round of confrontation, the city lord raised his eyebrows, suddenly changed his strategy, and said something meaningful.

"Girl, are you interested in being the mayor of this city?"
