Chapter 254: You Came Just in TimeTranslator: Storm in a Teacup

Just as Long and Shi returned to the house, Liu and Ouyang also came back.

“What a coincidence. You’re also back.”

Liu looked very serious. “We spent half a day checking the whole city and found that there were ten more places like what we told you earlier.”

“What?” Long was surprised. “That’s unbelievable.”

“We spent some time in the first place, but we didn’t find anything. Then, we searched the whole city and ten places were found in total. We also checked the last place carefully and still found nothing.”

Long frowned. “There are so many places.”

Liu nodded. “I don’t know if it’s because those places really have problems… or we’ve been confused.”

Shi said coldly, “We’ve been confused.”

Long was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“I always felt that someone was stalking us today. I asked Ying Feng and the others to watch closely, but they didn’t find anyone. However, I still think we have been stalked. If I’m right, I guess those people just put that thing at one place and other places are used to confuse us. More likely, all those places are used to confuse us and we still haven’t found out the real place that the mysterious thing is hidden!”

Hearing Shi’s words, all people fell silent.

They knew instinctively that Shi was right.

Long pursed his lips. Then, he asked Liu and Ouyang, “Do you have that feeling? If someone stalked Qingzhou and me, it must’ve happened to you, too.”

“Well…” After a pause, Liu said, “If that’s true, then… that man must’ve been far away from us.”

Shi said, “They just want to know where we go, not what we do.”

Ouyang said, “If so, it is likely that our whereabouts have been known to others. They might be great martial artists and stay far away from us, so we didn’t notice that.”

Long said, “If that’s the case… Qingzhou is right. It is very likely that the mysterious thing isn’t in the place where we found, so those people didn’t appear at all. I have an idea.”

“What’s that?” Liu asked immediately.

“Songye city isn’t that big and we have a lot of people. We can split our people into groups and go to different places to see where they will appear. If they appear, we’ll know where that thing is hidden.”

“It needs much time and effort, but it may be useful,” Liu said.

Long smiled. “That’s it. I’ll order the Shadow Guardians to take actions this evening. They’ll bypass those ten places.”

Liu’s eyes brightened slightly. “Yes. We need to tell them that we already know it’s a trap.”

“Go to some other places and see if we’ll be stopped.”

“Right. We’ll work together in the evening,” Liu said.

“Well, I guess those people will pay much attention to you guys, especially you, Liu Suifeng. You are an excellent doctor and know how to deal with the poisonous creatures. So they will certainly care much about your whereabouts. Do you have anything that can help you find that thing accurately?”

Liu was slightly stunned.

“You can’t just rely on the smell. You need to feel it,” Long explained.

After thinking about it, Liu turned to look at Shi.

Long was stunned. “Why are you staring at Qingzhou?”

Shi understood and directly took out a wooden box from his pocket.

Long was very familiar with the box, because the poisonous insect was in it.

And Shi once said that he would put the poisonous insect into Long’s body!

If they didn’t find anything at the city gate, Shi would have already asked Liu to do it!

“Yes, the poisonous insect can sense that. Brother Ouyang was very familiar with it. If there are poisons, the poisonous insect will be more sensitive than human beings.”

“In this case… we don’t need to use that stupid method. On the contrary, we can make a plan.” Long touched his chin.

“We don’t know where that thing is hidden, so we need to find those people first. Now that we have the poisonous insect, we can make use of it and find that thing first. Then, we can surround it and wait for those people to come. If that thing happens to be in the enemy’s base camp, we can directly destroy that. It’s good in every aspect,” Ouyang said.

After they discussed the method for a while, Liu and Ouyang left.

Later, Long clapped his hands. “I forgot to ask if they’ve eaten yet.”

Shi took a look at him. “They will eat if they haven’t. Don’t worry about it.”

“Qingzhou, are you jealous?” Long blinked.

Shi said coldly, “You’re thinking too much.”

Long went to hold Shi’s hand. “Qingzhou, let’s go to our room.”

“Mhmm,” Shi responded.

Long laughed.

Shi narrowed his eyes. “What are you laughing at?”

Long hurriedly shook his head. “Oh, nothing.”

“Humph!” Shi shook off Long’s hand and left.

“Wait for me, Qingzhou!” Long called Shi’s name at once and naturally, Shi ignored him.

Long caught up with him. “Qingzhou… you can just tell me if you’re jealous. I’ll try to make you happy.”

“Humph!” Shi snorted again. “I said you’re thinking too much!”

“Okay, I think too much.” Long admitted and then took Shi’s hand. Shi shook him off and Long tried again.

After five times, Shi was tired of that. Long finally succeeded and felt very happy.

Then, Long took his empress to the room. “Qingzhou, we should go to bed.”

Shi curled his lips.

Long said, “I think we can take a bath before that.”

“There isn’t hot spring here,” Shi said.

“It’s okay. We can just bath in the barrel. It’ll be much fun.”

It would be fun? Shi looked askance at Long and didn’t say anything.

However, Long thought that Shi had given tacit consent to that. So he rushed over and took his empress to the bathroom…

Long and Shi had a romantic and relaxed night.

On the other side, Liu and Ouyang had a hard time, because they needed to look around the whole Songye city.

Moreover, they had to be more careful. After all, it took time for the poisonous insect to sense a place.

Before dawn, Ouyang said, “Only the inner city area is left, but it’s in the charge of the government.”

“The government…” Liu narrowed his eyes. “Let’s get inside.”

A quarter of an hour later, the poisonous insect finally reacted.

Ouyang stopped at once. “It’s moving.”

Liu was very happy. “Finally!” They’d been to too many places. If there was still nothing at this place, they really wouldn’t know what to do.

Ouyang said, “We can’t expose ourselves, or others would follow us.”

Liu said, “I understand. Let’s pretend that we don’t find anything. We’ll come here again after we make the arrangements.”

Half an hour later, Liu and Ouyang left the place.

This time, they went back to the house directly.

“Whoa, that was close,” One of the two men in black said.

The other one said, “Yes. Fortunately, they didn’t find it. Let’s go back and report it to Mr. Chen.”

“Let’s go. They’ve left. We don’t need to follow them anymore.”

The two men left.

Liu and Ouyang returned to their own room in the house.

“We’ve found it. Shall we tell Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou?” Ouyang asked.

Liu yawned lazily. “No rush. They need to take actions in the morning anyways. It’s almost dawn. Let’s go to sleep.”

“I’m afraid they’ll come to us when we just fall asleep,” Ouyang said.

“Uh…” Liu said, “They wouldn’t be so inhuman.”

“I think it’s possible,” Ouyang said, “Especially Shi Qingzhou. I bet he’ll come.”

“Well…” Liu didn’t know what to say.

Ouyang said, “But I think we can sleep for a little while. Come on, let’s go.”

Liu smiled. “Mhmm.”

Ouyang really guessed right.

Shi woke up earlier than Long. In order not to disturb Long, he got up carefully. Long was sleeping like a log, so he didn’t know when Shi left.

Shi went directly to Ouyang’s place. At that time, Ouyang and Liu really just fell asleep!

Shi skipped the formalities and went straight into their room without knocking on the door.

Shi made a loud noise, so Ouyang and Liu were awakened.

When Liu saw Shi, the corners of his mouth twitched. Well, his Brother Ouyang was right. Shi wouldn’t let them have a good sleep before making things clear!

Shi didn’t care what Ouyang and Liu were thinking about. He said directly, “What did you find? Where is it hidden?”

Liu yawned. “Empress, you came in time. We just fell asleep.”

Being indifferent to Liu’s complaint, Shi stared at Liu with his red eyes, which really scared Liu!

“All right, I’ll tell you. It’s hidden in Song mansion.”
