Is Master Beauty crying today?

Shen Fengqu's heart suddenly rose, his eyes widened, and Chu Linyuan's voice came from beside him.

"what happened?"

He turned around and shook his head at Chu Linyuan. Chu Linyuan followed his gaze, and he turned back, and found that the second floor was empty and there was no one there.

Shen Fengqu had a bad premonition in his heart, but in an instant he thought maybe he was wrong.

He must have read it wrong.

Bai Yao said in front, "There are a lot of disciples cultivating immortals who came to Qianshui City this time. In order to take care of each other, the rooms are shared by two people. Now those who read their names come with me."

"The room between Jiang Xiaoqu and He Yun." Bai Yao pointed to the innermost room.

Shen Fengqu took a look, isn't he and Chu Linyuan in the same room?

"Brother Bai, can I change it?"

Bai Yao threw the room key to him, "No, you two are tired of being together every day and it's easy to delay things. Now that the general election is coming, it's better to separate."

Chu Linyuan stood where he was, looked at the room where Shen Fengqu lived, and said nothing.

"How can I get tired of being together every day..." Shen Fengqu muttered, and then the key said to Chu Linyuan, "Brother, I'll go in first and put down my luggage, and I'll find you later."

Chu Linyuan said "OK".

When Shen Fengqu went in, he felt someone was following him. He guessed that it should be He Yun, put down his luggage and said to the person behind him, "Are you in the inn? If so, I will hold the key."

"If I go out, I'll hold it for you." The person behind him didn't reply, Shen Fengqu turned around and looked over, the young man behind him had a wicked face, with a smile on his mouth...it was clearly Xue Changzhi.

I was not mistaken just now... When did this person sneak in? ?

With a "bang", the teacup in Shen Fengqu's hand fell directly on the table, the tea in it dripped out, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

"How will you be here??"

Shen Fengqu glanced outside, he was considering the possibility of calling someone, the blood curse burned along his body, and there was pain in his abdomen as his internal organs were pulled.

His face turned pale, and he stretched out his hands to cover his stomach, trembling slightly from the pain, and slowly squatted down against the wall.

Xue Changzhi squeezed a spell in front of him, his face changed into He Yun's face, and then changed back in an instant.

"Understood now?" The young man sat at the table with a playful voice, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"What did you do to him..." This man was able to hide the truth from Bai Yao and get mixed up with them so easily.

Xue Changzhi, "Don't worry, after the general election is over, I will return your disciple. During this time, he will first lend me his identity."

The pain in Shen Fengqu's body gradually subsided, and his fingertips still trembled a little.What Bai Jinye said before leaving echoed in his mind... Don't get close to this big devil if you don't have full confidence.

Now that he was in Xue Changzhi's hands again, it was impossible to get blood from Xue Changzhi's side without him noticing...

The silver dagger in Shen Fengqu's sleeve moved slightly, it's impossible anyway, it's better to chop off the devil first.

"Does it hurt that much? You haven't stood up yet." Xue Changzhi raised his eyebrows, stood up from the table and walked towards him.

Seeing that Xue Changzhi was about to come over and reach out to help him, Shen Fengqu regained his strength, the dagger in his sleeve flashed past, and stabbed directly at Xue Changzhi head-on.

Xue Changzhi turned his face slightly, the sharp blade drew a bloodstain on his face, bright red blood seeped out, his eyes were dark, and he chanted a mantra unhurriedly between his lips.

"Ah..." Shen Fengqu's face turned paler, the hand holding the dagger trembled, and the bloody dagger fell to the ground with a "bang".He lost all strength, let out a soft groan, and crashed into Xue Changzhi's arms in front of him.

Xue Changzhi wiped his face, and there was a lot of blood on his palms. He wrapped his arms around the waist of the man in his arms, and looked down at him like a spot of paint in his eyes.

"Want to kill me?" Xue Changzhi smiled slightly, and pressed his hand on the waist of the man in his arms slightly, "Think carefully before doing it next time, if you fail... But there will be punishment."

Shen Fengqu felt that his waist was about to be broken, and the person in front of him hugged his calf and carried him directly on his shoulders, turning around to walk outside.

"You put me down—" Shen Fengqu fell on his upper body, his stomach hurt very uncomfortable, he stretched out his hand and hit Xue Changzhi twice.

He doesn't have much strength now, and he feels light when hit on the body, Xue Changzhi doesn't take him seriously at all.

Xue Changzhi walked to the door of the room, pressed him directly against the wall, dragged his legs to his shoulders, and supported him to prevent him from falling.

Bai Yao was still reciting the names of his disciples outside, and several disciples were also discussing in low voices.

Shen Fengqu's legs were folded in half, this posture was too shameful, he stretched out his hand and pushed Xue Changzhi, his face flushed.

"You shameless devil, let me down."

Xue Changzhi's face was still dripping with blood. He looked at Shen Fengqu, stretched out his hand and squeezed his waist, "If I fucked you here... Do you think those brothers outside of you will hear?"

"Ok?"

Shen Fengqu's face changed in an instant, the devil might really have the guts, he began to struggle, and pushed Xue Changzhi hard, "Put me down...get out!!"

The door creaked as he struggled, worried that people outside would really hear it, Shen Fengqu didn't dare to move, he stared at Xue Changzhi, wishing to eat people with his gaze.

Xue Changzhi chuckled lightly, pressed his waist with some unknown meaning, hugged Shen Fengqu and threw him on the bed.

With a touch of his hand, the wound on his face disappeared.

"What should be said in a moment... what should not be said...you should understand?"

Shen Fengqu tightened the bed sheet, his fingertips turned slightly white with force, he looked into Xue Changzhi's eyes, suppressed the aggrieved heart, and answered "yes" in a low voice.

It's too tough, he can't beat him at all...follow him first, and then think of a way.

There was no movement outside, Shen Fengqu sat on the bed for a while, and wanted to get up and go out.

Xue Changzhi stopped him vaguely, "Where are you going?"

Shen Fengqu got angry when he saw him, and said angrily, "I just said outside that I want to find my senior brother, if I don't go, he will be suspicious."

"I'll go with you." Xue Changzhi stood up from the table, his face changed to He Yun's.

"You can't be with me." He paused for Xue Changzhi's half-smile expression, "Usually I'm only with my senior brother at the outer gate, and I won't... take others to find him."

"It's not in your Canglan Peak now." Xue Changzhi looked at him, not intending to change his mind.

Shen Fengqu wanted to say something more, but the person in front of him pulled his collar at the nape of his neck, "Why don't you go and choose one yourself?"

In the end, Shen Fengqu was forced to take him to find Bailianhua together.

He didn't intend to tell Bai Lianhua about this. It would be tricky enough for him to get Xue Changzhi alone, and he didn't want Bai Lianhua to get involved.

At that time, he heard Bai Yao's next name was Chu Linyuan's name, which should be the one next door to him, so he reached out and knocked on the door.

"Brother Chu? Are you inside?"

There was slight movement from inside, and after a while, the door was opened, and Chu Linyuan came to open it.

Chu Linyuan's eyes first fell on him, and then slowly...Looked at Xue Changzhi behind him.

"He Yun."

Xue Changzhi took the initiative to introduce, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "I heard that Junior Brother Jiang is going out. I happen to be free and want to go out."

"Junior Brother Chu, don't you mind if I have one more?"

Chu Linyuan recognized Xue Changzhi at a glance, he did not answer, but looked at Shen Fengqu and said softly, "Is that what he said?"

The ink in those glass-like eyes surged, and he looked at Shen Fengqu for a moment, waiting for his reply.

Shen Fengqu hesitated for a while, feeling a faint pain in his abdomen again, he clenched his sleeves tightly and replied, "It's as he said..."

"En." Chu Linyuan responded softly, covering the emotions in his eyes.

"Let's go."

When they went down, they happened to meet Bai Yao, and Bai Yao told them, "I'm going to meet the other three peak disciples tonight, you should come back earlier."

"it is good."

Shen Fengqu responded, and when he went downstairs, he noticed Xue Changzhi's gaze, and subconsciously covered his abdomen again, feeling the throbbing pain.

Soon his figure froze. This time his abdomen didn't hurt anymore, but his legs felt like they were numb. Every step he took was strenuous, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat after a while.

A chuckle came from behind.

"What's wrong?" Chu Linyuan stopped beside him.

"Physical discomfort?"

Shen Fengqu nodded or shook his head, and replied, "It's nothing, brother, you go first. I have something to say...to brother He."

"Let me take a look for you." Chu Linyuan didn't listen to him, but squatted down in front of him, holding his calf with cold fingers.

"Brother..."

"Leg hurts?" Chu Linyuan pressed the button for him, and raised his eyes to meet Xue Changzhi's gaze behind him, with a cold look in his eyes.

Shen Fengqu felt that Chu Linyuan's pressing for him was really effective, but he was a little uncomfortable, he subconsciously stepped back a little, "Brother, it's much better, you don't need to press."

After he finished speaking, Chu Linyuan stood up.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shen Fengqu found that his legs really didn't hurt anymore... Bai Lianhua still has the ability to make Xue Changzhi's blood curse invalid?

Where he couldn't see, Chu Linyuan was holding a bunch of bright red long curses in his hand, he glanced at Xue Changzhi faintly, and crushed the blood curses in his hand directly.

Xue Changzhi's eyes were dark, and he looked at Chu Linyuan with deep eyes. He opened his thin lips and said a word softly.

The voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

It's useless.

Chu Linyuan paused with his fingertips, ignored him, and asked Shen Feng, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore!! Senior brother is so powerful." Shen Fengqu praised knowingly this time, and when he said it, he glanced at Xue Changzhi quietly, his voice was much softer.

Fortunately, Xue Changzhi didn't act like a demon again.

The three of them left the inn together.There are people coming and going outside, and all kinds of panacea are sold on both sides of the streets and alleys, and some are snacks and gadgets from Qianshui City.

Flags of various colors were hung in the air, including Canglan, Chonghua, Tianshui and Fengluan.There are also some sects of magic cultivators, black ones fluttering in the wind.

There are also a lot of disciples in the city, they are wearing Yuehua white robes as the symbol of Canglan, and they saw many familiar disciples on the road.

Shen Fengqu originally wanted to go out for a stroll, but he was dazzled by the sights along the way, and when he came to a small stall and scanned something, he suddenly stopped.

"Immortal, take a look? These are the jades that our Guiyufang collected from the fourteen states."

Shen Fengqu's eyes fell on a piece of red wreath in the middle, that piece of red wreath was like a piece of vermilion amber, clear and crimson, if you look closely, there are some tiny impurities in the middle.

"Immortals have really good eyesight. This red gemstone was left by the former queen of Yuezhao Kingdom..."

Chu Linyuan asked from the side, "Want this?"

Shen Fengqu shook his head, this piece of Kodama is fake at first glance, there is no need to buy it.

Just now, something flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it. He wanted to take a closer look and see if he could remember it again.

"No, brother, let's go."

Xue Changzhi followed behind the two of them, and said, "Yuezhao Country... I remember that your master has a Yuezhao Sword."

"Cough cough." Shen Fengqu coughed twice, and glared at Xue Changzhi. It is well known that he has the Moon Shining Sword, so it is too easy to reveal his secrets by asking such a question.

In his opinion, Chu Linyuan didn't know it was Xue Changzhi, and he didn't want Chu Linyuan to know, so as not to involve Bai Lianhua.

However, Xue Changzhi knew that these two people knew his identity, so he didn't bother to pretend, but the little man actually hinted at him, which made him a little funny.

Didn't he know that his senior brother cut it out to be a black one?Seeing that the little man is so worried about his senior brother, it's not bad to tease him.

He sent a voice to the little man.

"Tell me, if I cast a blood curse on your senior brother too... you two just happen to be a couple, how about it?"

Xue Changzhi actually set his sights on Bai Lianhua again... How can this work?There should be no surprises for Bai Lianhua in this general election.

His face was anxious, and he couldn't speak in front of Chu Linyuan, so he could only keep staring at Xue Changzhi with warning in his eyes.

Xue Changzhi looked at him impatiently, curled his lips in satisfaction, and said nothing more.

However, along the way, Shen Fengqu was in no mood to go shopping anymore, and he kept thinking about how to stop Xue Changzhi.

It wasn't until the screams and shouts of pedestrians came from not far away, and many disciples of cultivating immortals passed by with their swords in hand, that Shen Fengqu withdrew his thoughts and looked not far away.

At the corner of the street not far away, there was a black mist, which looked like demonic energy. There were dark vines hidden in it, and the vines dragged the pedestrians on the side of the road in, and the nearby pedestrians fled one after another.

The gaps on the green brick courtyard wall spread, and the whole thing fell apart. The stall was swept away by the vines, and the wooden frame next to it suddenly fell apart.

"what happened?"

As soon as Shen Fengqu finished speaking, a dark vine quickly approached him, his heart skipped a beat, and a hand beside him pulled him aside.

He was dragged into Chu Linyuan's arms by Chu Linyuan, and the vines were drawn on Chu Linyuan's shoulders, and Yuehua's white robe was instantly covered in blood.

"Senior Brother Chu—" Shen Fengqu chopped off the vine with his sword, and quickly supported Chu Linyuan.

"Are you okay?" He glanced to the side and found that Xue Changzhi had disappeared at some point, so he was relieved.

It's a good thing the big devil is gone.

Chu Linyuan reached out and touched his shoulder. His cold white fingertips and bright red contrasted together. He glanced at his palm and put down his hand.

"Nothing, let's go back first."

"Okay." Shen Fengqu performed a healing technique on him, stopped the bleeding, and followed him back.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Chu Linyuan suddenly asked when he was about to arrive at the inn.

Shen Fengqu was stunned, and shook his head, "Brother, I'm worrying too much, I'm just a little nervous about the election."

"Is that right?"

Shen Fengqu nodded.

Chu Linyuan didn't say anything more, and the two of them went to the second floor together.

Shen Fengqu saw him opening the door, and said behind him, "Brother, let me stay with you for a while, just to show you your injuries."

Chu Linyuan said "yes", and then opened the door. The disciple who lived in the same room as him was not there, and there were only the two of them in the room now.

"Senior Brother Chu, if someone asks you to drink something these few days, don't agree. Now you are outside...be careful."

He was reminding in disguise that Xue Changzhi needed a medium to cast the blood curse, which was usually in tea.

Chu Linyuan took off his clothes in front of him, and the wound on his shoulder was no longer bleeding, so he let out a "huh".

"I'll help you." Shen Fengqu took the ointment, dug out some with his fingers, applied it on the wound, and spread it evenly.

He didn't mention the matter of Cai Xie Chong just now, thinking that Xue Changzhi is in the city now... maybe Xue Changzhi did it.

After applying the ointment, the wound slowly healed, Shen Fengqu helped him wrap the gauze a few more times, and bandaged it up.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this white lotus has been raised by him all the time, and now it has developed feelings, it actually feels a little distressed to touch him when it hurts.

"Brother, be careful, don't touch this shoulder again."

Chu Linyuan glanced at the bow tied on his shoulder, and said "Mmm".

Shen Fengqu squeezed a cleansing technique on his hand, looked around the room, "Who is living with senior brother? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"I live alone," Chu Linyuan said indifferently when he saw his surprised face, "The one who shared with me went to find someone else."

"Brother Bai Yao agrees?" Shen Fengqu asked.

Chu Linyuan, "He went directly."

"That's it..." Shen Fengqu's eyes lit up, then he can also come directly to sleep with Chu Linyuan.

"Brother, I also want to come and sleep with you at night."

Chu Linyuan didn't say anything, and gave him the key in his hand.

"Senior brother is so kind, I'll come to you when I finish my work." Shen Fengqu put the key into his arms, and bent his eyes at him.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Linyuan raised his eyes and asked him.

Shen Fengqu, "Some minor matters, I'll come to senior brother after I settle them."

"Brother, I'm going back first, and I'll come to you at night."

Chu Linyuan paused, "Come here soon."

Shen Fengqu smiled, "Okay, I'll come over as soon as I finish my work." The apprentice Bai Lianhua is still cute.

After he finished speaking, he got up and left the room, thinking of telling Xue Changzhi directly that he would not go back at night, but Xue Changzhi might not agree.

Standing at the door for a while, he walked out of the inn and sent a message to Bai Jinye.

Outside the inn, he glanced into the distance, Xie Chong had been dealt with, and several disciples were helping to clean up the mess.

"What did you say!! You are now in Xue Changzhi's hands again????"

Bai Jinye's high-pitched voice came from beside his ears, and Shen Fengqu felt his ears ache from the noise.

He walked towards a remote place, and the charm of the sound transmission of thousands of miles was burning on his fingertips, and he replied, "Yeah, I can't help it, who made such a coincidence that he is also in this inn."

"And he is still eyeing my apprentice now, I have to find a way quickly."

Bai Jinye, "You really...let me tell you what's good about you? Does your apprentice know about this?"

Shen Fengqu, "Of course I don't know, why should I let him know? Of course, if he came to participate in the general election, it would be better to have one more thing than one less thing."

Bai Jinye over there stopped talking, and said in silence for a while, "I have already sent a letter to Jiang Fei, he is not in Qianshui City now, and it may take some time before he arrives."

"Be patient during this time. It would be best if you can get his blood. If you can't get it, don't act rashly. Wait for Jiang Fei to pass."

Shen Fengqu said "Oh", "Is there no other way?"

Bai Jinye, "Are you worried about that apprentice of yours? I don't think you need to worry too much. During the peak sword meeting, he beat Song Zhiyi as if it was a joke... I kept watching from the side, feeling that he might not care about you." as simple as that."

Shen Fengqu didn't take it seriously, he responded with Bai Jinye, he seemed to catch a pair of black boots from the corner of his eyes, turned his head to look over, and froze in place for an instant.

Under a peach tree not far away, Xue Changzhi stood under the tree with thoughtful eyes.

Shen Fengqu scattered the thousand-mile sound transmission talisman in his hand. He didn't know how much Xue Changzhi heard. He was in a panic, but he managed to maintain his composure.

"Come here." Xue Changzhi hooked his fingers at him.

The corners of Shen Fengqu's lips were tightly pursed, he reluctantly passed by, and walked slowly in front of Xue Changzhi.

"What did you just say, your apprentice?" Xue Changzhi pinched his face with his fingertips, pinched it twice, leaving a few light red marks on it.

Shen Fengqu's face hurt from being pinched by him, but he didn't dare to move.He mumbled, "No...you heard it wrong."

"You don't think you are Shen Fengqu, do you?" Xue Changzhi looked him up and down, and smiled mockingly.

"A clown with a big heart, how can you compare yourself with Cang Lan's number one beauty?"

Shen Fengqu let out a sigh in his heart, thinking that the No. [-] beauty of Canglan you mentioned is right in front of him, so he doesn't know who he is!

He said, "I'm not ugly, you are ugly."

Xue Changzhi pinched his face hard again, directly bruising his face.

"It hurts—" Shen Fengqu covered his face and stared at him, stepped back a few steps, his face darkened, "How can you let me go?"

"Let's let you go...it's not impossible." Xue Changzhi twitched his fingers, feeling that the ugly thing's face felt good when pinched.

He made a fool of himself, looked at the person on the other side looking at him nervously, and murmured, "I'll tell you tonight."

Shen Fengqu didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he said to Xue Changzhi, "Then I'll go back first."

Turn around and go back to the inn.

Xue Changzhi didn't stop him, watched people enter the inn, his eyes followed the direction of the second floor, and saw a figure on the window of the second floor.

A gust of wind blew over, and the figure quickly disappeared.

When Chu Linyuan came back from the window, what Xue Changzhi said just now echoed in his mind.

He only heard the second half, and didn't hear the front part.

Disciple?

There was a glint of light in his eyes... It disappeared in an instant, no, he tried it on the first day, and the soul was not that person.

Put this matter in the bottom of my heart in advance, and it will take a long time, so I can slowly find out what's going on.

What we need to do now... is to let that person learn to tell him what he has to do, and stop hiding it from him.

……

Shen Fengqu went upstairs, only to remember that he hadn't told Xue Changzhi that he wanted to sleep with Chu Linyuan at night.

But I guess the devil won't agree with it, so let's think of a way later.

He stayed in Chu Linyuan's room for a while, and when he heard Bai Yao calling them outside the door, the two went out together.

When Bai Yao saw the two of them coming out of the same room, he didn't say anything, and when they were all together, he said to them, "Now go to the city lord's mansion, and the disciples of the other three peaks are also there. When you go, don't make any mistakes. Listen to me." Arrange, don't run around."

"Yu Jian was in the past, come with me now."

Shen Fengqu glanced back, and found that Xue Changzhi was looking at him from behind, so he turned his head quickly, pretending not to see it.

They followed Bai Yao all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

The mansion is made of blue bricks and green tiles, a plaque on the top is engraved with strong characters, red lanterns are floating below, and disciples of cultivating immortals are guarding the door.

The two disciples were wearing black gold-rimmed Taoist robes. They saluted Bai Yao and led them in.

"We should be able to meet Ye Qingchong and Chang Nianyin this time...they will certainly participate in the Sifeng election."

"That's not necessarily true. Whether people want to come or not is another matter."

"The two of them have been famous in fourteen states for a long time, I really want to meet..."

"I want, too."

Shen Fengqu listened to the discussion of his fellow disciples behind him, and then he remembered that the two geniuses in the original book were from Chonghua and Fengluan...what was it written at that time.

It seems that it was just a passing mention, because Chu Linyuan did not have the opportunity to meet these two people face-to-face.

It's different now... Let Bai Lianhua get to know her better.

Thinking this way, Shen Fengqu and Chu Linyuan entered the main hall, and sat in the seats assigned to them according to the arrangement.

He glanced into the hall and recognized them immediately, which two should be Ye Qingchong and Chang Nianyin.

The carved beams and painted buildings in the main hall are almost full of people now, and basically everyone's eyes are on the two teenagers opposite.

The two teenagers were not sitting together, one was as gentle as jade, and his brows looked gentle.The other raw Jianmei Xingmu seemed impatient.The same temperament comes out of the dust, but each has its own merits.

A lot of people surrounded the two of them, and they all wanted to get acquainted.

After Shen Fengqu found out that they came in, many eyes fell on Chu Linyuan.

Bai Lianhuasheng's bright and beautiful appearance is normal for some people to look at, but some eyes are a little sticky, which makes people very disgusted.

Shen Fengqu felt a little upset, is Lao Tzu's apprentice also something you people can miss?In the future, Bai Lianhua will reach the pinnacle of her life and marry a wife.

He turned sideways to block those gazes.

Fortunately, the positions of the two of them were not particularly conspicuous, and Bai Lianhua was sitting in the corner, so they couldn't see it.

The city lord of Qianshui City hosted Sifeng's disciples who came to participate in the general election. After a while, people came over.Shen Fengqu glanced at it. The city lord looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, wearing a black gold robe. He explained a few words to them with a smile, waved his sleeves and went down.

"It's really an honor for you all to come to my Qianshui City. You are all young geniuses in the Four Peaks. It's rare to get together now. You can get to know each other at the banquet. I won't spoil the fun here. I hope you all have a good time."

After the city lord went down, the sound of the piano sounded slowly, and the banquet gradually became lively.

Chu Linyuan didn't move his chopsticks much, watching the people next to him eat.The people next to him ate seriously, and he found that Shen Fengqu had tasted almost everything, except for the almond cake.

"Don't like it?" he asked.

Shen Fengqu drank a glass of wine and suppressed it. Hearing this, he shook his head, "I'm allergic to almonds, so I can't eat them."

After he answered Chu Linyuan's question, he heard Xue Changzhi's voice transmission.

Xue Changzhi let him go now.

Shen Fengqu hesitated for a while, and got up from his seat, "Senior Brother Chu, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

His wrist was held, Bai Lianhua looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Fengqu faltered and couldn't speak clearly, and said to him, "I'll tell my brother when I come back."

Bai Lianhua paused slightly with her fingertips, and slowly let go of him.

"Brother, I'll be back in a while."

Shen Fengqu walked far out of the main hall, and according to what Xue Changzhi said in his ear, he walked along the mansion, more and more sideways.

He looked around near the rockery, but he didn't see anyone. He was about to turn around when he put a hand around his waist and pulled him into his arms.

A deep voice rang in my ears, "Don't you want me to let you go, now I will give you a chance."

Shen Fengqu was about to turn his head when the person behind him bit his earlobe.

"Let me fuck you once, and I'll let you go, how about it?"
