Chapter 3257: You Act like a Thief in Your Own Home

“Of course, it’s very delicious, but you wouldn’t be able to taste it,” Ning Shu said directly.

Crossbow Lar had black lines all over his forehead—was it really okay to say that so directly?

Ning Shu finished eating, and a maid cleared the dishes.

“We’ve been traveling so long; you should rest early, too.” Ning Shu sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Crossbow Lar laid a mat on the ground.

While Ning Shu cultivated, she sensed someone sneaking in through the window.

Mei Ziqing dangled at the window; their eyes met.

“Why sneak in through the window instead of the front door? You act like a thief in your own home,” Ning Shu rolled her eyes.

Mei Ziqing climbed in and sat beside Ning Shu, saying, “I came secretly.”

“My five weapons stick to me like glue. I couldn’t find a chance to talk to you.”

Ning Shu frowned. “If that’s the case, why not just get rid of the weapons directly? Besides, they really would do the same to you.”

Why keep them? Keep them for winter?

“Getting rid of them means many secrets won’t be known. This time I came to ask you for a favor,” Mei Ziqing said quietly.

“What do you want me to do? How do I cooperate with you?” Ning Shu asked.

Mei Ziqing leaned close to Ning Shu’s ear and said, “You only need to do this: challenge me at the right opportunity.”

“Why, what’s the point?” Ning Shu asked with a puzzled expression.

Mei Ziqing said, “Actually, my entrustor’s five weapons basically never fight. They’re just kept like this.”

“Then aren’t they useless? They’re even worse than my Crossbow Lar,” Ning Shu said directly.

Crossbow Lar, sleeping in a nearby room, heard this. His lips curled and his face flushed as he turned over to look at the door.

Mei Ziqing’s face was filled with black lines. “Can you keep your voice down?”

“How do your weapons eat?” Ning Shu asked.

Only by killing moon beasts could weapons eat.

“There are servants who drag half-dead moon beasts in front of me. I only need to use the weapon to finish the moon beast in one blow,” Mei Ziqing shrugged.

Ning Shu twitched the corner of her mouth. This was beyond ordinary uselessness.

She had to admit her respect—rich people really knew how to play.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “I think this might be why your weapons darkened. They were originally strong weapons, but they’re more like forbidden delicacies your entrustor raises.”

“They even have to kill moon beasts half-killed by other weapons to eat. They probably get mocked by other weapons.”

“Weapons exist to kill,” Ning Shu analyzed while touching her chin. “Keeping them like this destroys the nature of weapons.”

What was the weapon supposed to do about their dignity?

“That’s why the weapons want freedom. And maybe because your entrustor won’t lift the contract, they darkened together.”

Mei Ziqing shook her head. “I thought so too before, but when I asked them, they said this life was good.”

“You can’t trust men. What’s the use of a challenge? Just tell them directly to cancel the contract and be done.”

Just split up and be done with it, no hard feelings.

Mei Ziqing sighed. “But the entrustor loves Long Spear Ban.”

“Love my ass—she ended up dead! If Long Spear Ban cared even a bit for your entrustor, it wouldn’t darken and eat her flesh.” Ning Shu just wanted to roll her eyes.
