Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

Xiao Mu choked on the words that were about to come out of his mouth. It seemed... that was the case!

He took a step forward, his face stiff, and tentatively hooked Shen Lishu's little finger, "Then... I'll coax you?"

Shen Lishu: …

Hahaha!

The way Xiao Mu tried to coax people with a cold face looked so clumsy, but also... so cute.

Shen Lishu suppressed his laughter and said, "You'd better stop coaxing me. It's creepy."

Xiao Mu: Thank you. I am really touched.

Xiao Mu pulled Shen Lishu into the room, turned around and pushed her against the door.

"I have prepared the betrothal gifts. Please wait for a few days. I will take care of things here and then we can go back."

Shen Lishu squatted down flexibly, came around and pushed Xiao Mu against the door panel with his backhand.

After they switched positions, she felt relieved.

"Who gave you permission to touch me?

What do you mean by marriage? I don't agree."

Xiao Mu's pupils shrank instantly, and his cold eyes almost spit fire.

"Shen Lishu, you don't really want to admit it, do you?"

"I... didn't!" Shen Lishu's face flushed, feeling a little guilty.

Haha, Xiao Mu, how do you know her so well?

Xiao Mu rolled his eyes at her, broke away, went to the table and poured a cup of tea to her, "What do you mean?"

Shen Lishu didn't think about it, picked up the teacup and drank it all, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve:

"I'm only 15 years old at best. If you dare to come and ask for marriage, my parents will beat you to death. Do you believe it?"

"Oh? Then what do you think we should do?" Xiao Mu looked at her indifferently.

It seems to be saying, keep making it up, I want to see how else you can make it up!

Shen Lishu: Guilty conscience? That doesn't exist.

She is a scumbag, clearly

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you let my parents accept you first before proposing marriage?"

“Besides, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

If I don’t... and you don’t like me anymore in the future, we can still break up.

But if we propose marriage, it won’t be that easy to separate.”

Xiao Mu's face darkened again, and the air around him almost solidified the cold air emanating from his body.

After a while, he uttered a word, "Ha!"

"Shen Lishu, you really are... you refuse to admit it when I lift your skirt!

How about...I help you recall how you took advantage of me?"

Shen Lishu quickly waved his hands, "No, no!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt hot all over.

His hand unconsciously pulled at his collar, and his eyes looked a little dazed when he looked at Xiao Mu.

"It's that cup of tea...what did you put in it?" Shen Lishu asked while grabbing his clothes.

Xiao Mu's Adam's apple moved, and he turned away in embarrassment without looking at her.

"The golden fruit is unique to the Nanman Mountains. Its flesh is dried and ground into powder, which has a very strong aphrodisiac effect. Generally, the Nanman people use it to feed the love Gu."

What?

Xiao Mu, your uncle...

You're giving me food for the bugs?

Shen Lishu was filled with grief and indignation, and his rationality was almost swallowed up by the heat all over his body.

He grabbed Xiao Mu's collar viciously and pointed his thumb at himself, "I! I am immune to all poisons!"

Xiao Mu brushed her away lightly, and his whole body was like the snow on the mountain, clean and holy.

"Oh, this is not poison, it's just a fruit with special effects."

"Then, where is the antidote?" Shen Lishu felt a little nervous for a rare moment.

"No."

Shen Lishu couldn't help but look bitter, "What should I do?"

She couldn't really do that with Xiao Mu, but she didn't mind.

"Bear with it," Xiao Mu said calmly.

A pair of clear eyes looked at her.

OK, you are so cruel

Shen Lishu suppressed the heat, turned around and leaned on the couch, took out the spiritual spring water and took a big gulp.

With a serious look of caring for the other person, he said: "Xiao Mu, are you willing to live with me in Balitun for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Mu was silent, and the fingers holding the cup tightened involuntarily.

Shen Lishu continued, “I guess the answer is no.

You have responsibilities that you were born to bear.

I have the same thing, so I can’t stay with you in Wusu City forever, let alone accompany you in rebellion.”

Tian Dao was immediately displeased, [Hey, hey, hey, you must help the Son of Luck. ]

Shen Lishu suppressed it in her heart, [Shut up, I don’t want to be the woman behind a successful man. ]

If you want to be a successful woman, be her.

Isn’t it great to be the master of your own house?

Xiao Mu was a very smart man. After just a few words, he understood what Shen Lishu meant.

"Shen Lishu, don't make excuses for your scumbag."

What you did shows that you are not someone who wants to live in a mountain village for the rest of your life.

You have ambitions for the world, and my responsibilities conflict with your ambitions.

You are afraid that we will become enemies or a pair of resentful couples in the future, so you are unwilling to give your true heart, right? "

Yo ho!

Little thing, your guess is pretty accurate.

Shen Lishu lowered his eyes and said calmly, "It's good that you understand. I won't be soft-hearted just because of you."

Xiao Mu looked at her seriously, "But I will never give up on you."

He wants the world, and she wants it too.

Shen Lishu was speechless and gave a thumbs up, "If you want to talk about greed, you are this."

"Until we can find a way to have the best of both worlds, let's just do this for now and let nature take its course."

Xiao Mu frowned. In fact, he had no obsession with the throne.

The reason why he persisted was simply that he didn't want to see the old people who followed him disappointed.

But looking at Shen Lishu's cold face, he suddenly hesitated.

Which is more important, the world or beauty?

Shen Lishushu didn't give him a chance to think, and said mercilessly: "Go out, I want to be alone."

Xiao Mu stood up and put down a porcelain bottle, "Antidote."

He saw clearly that Shen Lishu might like him a little

But, not much.

Maybe even less than a maid beside her.

Taohua just came in to deliver some snacks and looked at Xiao Mu with suspicion as he left.

"Boss, what happened to Young Master Xiao?"

Shen Lishu just took the antidote and rubbed his forehead, "It's nothing, it's my problem."

Peach Blossom, it’s Young Master Xiao who is in a bad mood again. I didn’t think much about it.

"Why do you think so much all day long, Mr. Xiao?

You can live a happy day or an unhappy day, so why bother yourself? "

Shen Lishu was stunned. In fact, what Taohua said was not wrong.

She patted her forehead and realized that she was going backwards as she got older. She was not even as romantic as others.

Yes, why think so much?

If you want to enjoy his body, just enjoy it. If you want to sleep, just sleep. Why bother thinking about being responsible?

Taohua was full of question marks: Is this what I meant?

Tiandao sighed: What a scumbag!

After such a good sleep, Shen Lishu was no longer in a hurry to go back, and he strolled around the streets with Taohua all day long.

Once, when the two of them were returning home with a lot of bags, they happened to run into Yao Muling.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

I am so exhausted every day entertaining ladies and young ladies that I don't even have time to drink a sip of water.

But the real owner is just eating, drinking and having fun every day!

Yao Muling stomped her feet and said, I quit!

I'm going on strike, whoever wants to can do it.

Those women are too difficult to deal with. They beat around the bush when talking. I’m not going to do this anymore. I’m not going to do this anymore.

She would rather have a fight with someone than deal with these ladies.

So the next day, he shamelessly went out for a walk with Shen Lishu.

When she gave up, the ladies and girls in the city were stunned.

I thought I had made some mistake and was rejected by the city lord.

So they all went home and started to talk to each other, and all the pressure was put on Xiao Mu.

Since ancient times, it has been important for men to build relationships outside and for women at home to build relationships inside.

In his heart, he wanted Shen Lishu to take charge of the situation.

But... he didn't dare

He knew Shen Lishu's temper very well.

He was afraid that if they disagreed, Shen Lishu would beat those ladies to death.

Xiao Mu could only try his best to comfort her. He became busier and thinner day by day.

Yao Muchuan followed him all day until his legs were weak from exhaustion and his face was as pale as paper.

"Master, I am truly ashamed for my willful behavior."

Xiao Mu had just finished reviewing a memorial. Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head. "It's okay. These things aren't what she should have done."

Yao Muchuan sighed and secretly encouraged, "Master, I am the mistress you have chosen.

How about you go and say something nice to him?

If this continues, your only subordinate will die young."

Tang Dashan leaned against a pillar nearby, his eyes dull, "Master, how about... you go and apologize to Miss Shen?

He loves your face the most, so maybe he would be willing to help us?

Besides, this is what she should do.”

Xiao Mu paused, then said calmly: "Do you dare to invite me?

Xiao Mu didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Doesn't he want to give in?

He is someone who can't stop Shen Lishu at all!

Yao Muchuan and Tang Dashan's faces froze, and they waved their hands, "Forget it, forget it.

We are not as good looking as you, and Miss Shen will not feel sorry for us."

Xiao Mu sighed, "Send a letter and ask Madam Yu to come over."

"Also, General Tang, bandits are rampant in Zhou County. You are responsible for suppressing them. If you can't do it well, don't come back..."

Tang Dashan cried, why is it always me who gets hurt!

He raised his eyes and saw the threatening look in his master's eyes, and dared not say a word.

Zhou County is notoriously difficult to manage and chaotic.

It is the biggest cancer in Wusu City. Any kid on the street is a liar.

You can't trust anyone there.

The officials there are ineffective.

His master asked him to suppress the bandits, but this is asking for his life!

At this time, Shen Lishu had already walked into Zhou County with Taohua and Yao Muling.

In just a few days, the three of them became the tyrants of Suzhou City.

The common people lined the streets to welcome him, and the powerful and wealthy trembled in fear when they saw him.

As a result, the powerful people in the city couldn’t stand it anymore, so they tricked people into coming to Zhou County.

Shen Lishu looked around at the streets on both sides and said, "It doesn't look that weird, does it?"

This Zhou County looks so normal, with shops everywhere, people coming and going, it is very lively and much more interesting than the city!

"That's right. The rumors outside are definitely exaggerated." Yao Muling also looked around with great interest.

Each of the three people held a portion of fried bee pupae and ate them crunchily.

Suddenly, a thin man stopped them.

With a big smile on his face, he said, "Girl, I see you all use whips."

"I have a whip here, are you interested?

This is made by a master, a genuine product of Wanbao Pavilion! It’s really free!”

Yao Muling pointed to a crowded store not far away and said, "It should be the Wanbao Pavilion.

I heard that the stuff there is not inferior, it’s just too expensive.”

Shen Lishu also became interested and decided to buy it for Taohua to play with if the price was right.

"How much do you sell it for?"

"Three taels!" The man smiled and held up three fingers. "This Scarlet Whip costs ten taels at Wanbao Pavilion. You will definitely not lose out if you buy it!"

If this price is true, it is really worth it.

"Okay." Shen Lishu nodded, "Where's the whip? Take it out so we can see it."

The man rolled up his sleeves and said, "Wait!"

What?

Shen Lishu was stunned

The man walked into the Wanbao Pavilion after many turns and came out after a while.

He handed a scarlet whip to the three stunned people.

"Here, silver and goods are paid." After saying that, he dropped the box, snatched the silver, turned around and ran away.

The three of them were stunned as they held the freshly-baked whip.

Yao Muling swallowed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, he stole the whip."

"It really is... not free!" Shen Lishu was also amazed by this operation.

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a few aggressive men coming out of Wanbao Pavilion.

Shen Lishu was startled, put away the box and ran away, "Run! They are chasing us!"

Yao Muling reacted very quickly, quickly covered her face, and climbed onto the roof using the shelves next to her. "Then I'll go first!"

Shen Lishu pointed at her angrily, "Yao Muling! Damn you!"

She actually left us and ran away!

Shen Lishu dragged Taohua and ran while scolding Yao Muling for being disloyal.

It's great to be able to do Qinggong, woooooo...

The Wanbao Pavilion was robbed, and the entire street was turned upside down.

The vendors whose stalls were overturned pulled out machetes from under the shelves and chased after them.

Even the old lady selling sachets was walking briskly with a kitchen knife in hand.

More and more people were falling behind the two of them.

Shen Lishu and Taohua were chased so hard that they were out of breath. They hid here and there and finally managed to get rid of that group of people.

The two found a secluded corner to rest for a while.

"I'm so tired..." Shen Lishu said breathlessly, "The people of Zhou County are really tough, and their reputation is well-deserved..."

Taohua panted and said with a smile: "That's not as good as the big boss."

Shen Lishu casually threw the whip to Taohua, "You can use it to play with it. I don't need it."

Taohua continued hurriedly, moved to tears, "Thank you, Boss!"

Although she didn't like using a whip.

As he was speaking, there was a sudden noise.

Shen Lishu looked over and saw a group of people gathered in a corner, seemingly arguing about something.

She became curious and pulled Taohua over quietly.

It turned out that a fat white vendor was selling a strange fruit, claiming that eating it could prolong life and bring the dead back to life.

Shen Lishu looked at the fruit and felt that it looked familiar.

She suddenly remembered, isn't this the golden fruit?

Xiao Mu used this to plot against her before.

I went out of my way to learn about this fruit. It is golden in color and tastes sweet and sour, just like the one in that person's hand.

"Boss, is he lying?" Taohua had also read the introduction of the golden fruit.

"Keep your voice down!" Shen Lishu said nervously.

Uh... Taohua raised her hand and pointed forward, "It seems... it's too late."

Only then did Shen Lishu realize that the surroundings were as quiet as a chicken, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at them.

The fat white man drew out his big knife, "How dare you accuse me of lying? Catch them!"
