Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 76: The Adventures of the Lady of the Journey to Another World (13)

The principal's surname is Cui, and she is an enthusiastic middle-aged half-demon woman. Under the recommendation of Chrollo, after Celulu politely thanked her, she found an excuse and proposed the idea of ​​staying in the cast. Although it was a bit embarrassing because of the sensitivity of the times, I was afraid that bad elements would infiltrate and go to the palace to plot mischief, but after all, I couldn't hold back Cellulo's rhetorical pleading and Chrollo's eloquent lobbying. She went to Qingqiu Xiao to test her eligibility to stay in the regiment. After receiving the guarantee, Cellulu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least she took the first step.

"Aren't you going back?"

Following the person who was assigned by Director Cui to lead the way to Qingqiu Xiao's tent, Cellulu glanced at Chrollo who was walking slowly beside her, hesitated, and asked, she didn't really want to be in front of people she knew. Acting, it feels so embarrassing.

"Well? Do you mind if I follow?"

Chrollo asked innocently.

You said so, can I say that I mind? It's so fake, I slandered in my heart, but Cellulu also pulled out a fake smile on the surface, I hope Chrollo can dispel the idea of ​​​​following.

"No, it's just that the next test should be boring. It's just a romantic affair. I don't think you will be interested in Mr. Chrollo."

"Oh, no, I'm looking forward to Celluloid's performance. I'm sure it must be as good as your cooking skills."

Chrollo smiled and complimented the situation, but unfortunately, he still added a sentence incomprehensible after all.

"However, if it doesn't go well, don't forget to use your mind control."

"I see."

Chrollo didn't listen to Cellulu's admiration, but he did listen to the last sentence, and immediately replied with a solemn expression.

Before reaching Qingqiuxiao's tent, he heard a loud qin sound, sometimes ancient and simple, and sometimes flowing water and clouds. Celluloid couldn't help but smile, and she felt good. She stretched out her hand and picked the curtain to enter. The wind passed by, and before she could see anyone, she could only feel the fragrant wind on her face. It was like orchids like musk. , The man sitting in front of several desks was dressed in pink clothes, with silver hair shining like the Milky Way, purple eyes lingering in anticipation of brilliance, and what he was holding was as bright as a spring plum blossoming in snow, and he looked like an autumn moon reflecting on a marsh. Is this Qingqiu Xiao? Cellulo looked at the other party with a slight admiration, such a look is rare even among demons.

Seeing the two of them, Qingqiu Xiao got up, looked at Chrollo with a smile, and said.

"Hey, it's you? Grand Duke Sai, what, is the injury healed?"

"Young Master Qingqiu, thank you for your help before. This is my wife, Cellulu. I'm here to thank you today."

Chrollo didn't explain his intention directly, and as usual, he made a roundabout manner, and a lady's call was extremely natural and smooth.

Hearing this, Qingqiuxiao shifted his gaze to Cellulu, looked up and down curiously, as if it was not clear enough, he even walked in front of Cellulu and circled around before raising it lightly as if evaluating. Putting the back of his hand against his lips, he said.

"Well~ So you look like this, so young."

Before he could finish his words, he just tilted his head and smiled. It was originally an action without any ambiguousness, but it was done by him, but it was charming and charming.

"Yes, Young Master Qingqiu, I thank you for saving our family the day before yesterday."

Cellulu replied with a smile, and Fushen bowed to Qingqiu Xiao with a big gift.

After the tea was served, the two sides exchanged a few greetings. Seeing that Cellulu had other intentions, Qingqiu Xiao picked up a cup of tea, sipped it lightly, put it down gracefully, smiled slightly, and took the lead in getting to the point.

"It seems that Mrs. Xian's coming today is not just to thank you. If you have anything to say, I will do my best to help."

"It's really funny to be seen by Young Master Qingqiu, it's like this..."

Cellulu hurriedly repeated the remarks made by Director Cui before.

After listening to Cellulu's request, Qingqiu's originally enthusiastic face suddenly turned cold. He turned around and sat in front of his own case, fiddling with the strings for a while, he sneered, and he said nothing. Courteous, sarcastic.

"Looking for an errand? Recently, I often meet people who come to find an errand. Although Wenxinyuan has a little reputation in various countries, it is only a lowly person who lives in the world, and it has never been seen before. It's so popular, every day there are people who want to come into the garden, how come it happened to catch up with King Li's birthday, but everyone comes out and says that their livelihood is difficult. Well, it must be a bit of a fuss~"

Hearing this, Cellulu was stunned, but she didn't expect that there were more than a few of them who had impure goals. No matter why the others wanted to enter Lingyuan, they naturally couldn't admit Qingqiu's accusation. Lulu said warmly.

"This, Young Master Qingqiu, I don't know what you've misunderstood, but I'm really here to get a job, and you see, even if there is a plan, will a normal person drag his family out? Just to make ends meet."

Chrollo smiled and interjected, agreeing.

"Young Master Qingqiu, my wife was also an excellent artist in her native place, but because the local villain is poor, it is difficult for anyone to appreciate this elegant thing. There are many family members, and my wife is all on my own. It is really difficult, so I went to Beijing with people, hoping to find a good job. Now, thanks to your help, it is also a famous actor group that we have been looking for. Naturally, we do not want to miss this opportunity. Besides, the decision is still up to you. Why don't you give us a chance to let my lady perform, if the skills are not as good as others, we naturally won't entangle more, but just because we don't want to accept the accusations that are unwarranted, we are too wronged, aren't we?"

"Sai Daxianggong is able to speak well, and it seems that his reasoning is not bad. Even so, don't say that I won't give you a chance, Mrs. Sai, what do you know, let's hear it."

Qingqiu Xiaoyan wave swept away, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, he didn't have a bad impression of Chrollo. Seeing his help, he was relieved and asked Cellulu.

"This, I basically know a little bit of instrumental music. If you don't mind, can you lend me a three-foot Yaoqin and play a piece on your behalf?"

Hearing that, after thinking for a while, Cellulu asked tentatively.

"Playing the piano? We don't have a shortage of musicians here."

Hearing this, Qingqiu played with his hair boringly, and replied lazily.

"Ah! In terms of singing and dancing, if we Wenxinyuan people are the first, no one in the world will dare to be the second. You have to think carefully. It is not so exquisite that it is impeccable, but I will not accept it. Oh~"

Qingqiu held his cheek in one hand, and said slowly with a malicious smile on his bright face that was worthy of Taoli Zhengchun.

Hearing the other party's words, Cellulu's heart froze. Although she let go, the other party's attitude was clearly deliberately making things difficult. Obviously, she still didn't want to invite people in. She thought that Manager Cui had been told. Here, but now, it would be too unwilling to let this opportunity go. Qin is obviously not good enough. Song and dance, let’s ignore it for the time being, but that dance, as long as you don’t practice for a few days, don’t say that your muscles can’t keep up , she couldn't even grasp the feeling, not to mention she didn't know that she hadn't touched this thing for hundreds of years.

Are you going to give up like this? Chrollo, who swept aside, had already given him a wink and asked him to hypnotize Qingqiu Xiao directly. Seeing that the situation seemed to be helpless, Cellulu had no choice but to make the last resort. With a sigh, she took a step forward. Just as he was about to open his mouth to control the other party, out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a playbook on several cases. It seemed that his thoughts were not going well. There were scribbled revision marks on it, and the lyrics on the cloth were dyed pitch black. This The discovery instantly gave Cellulu a flash of inspiration, and the words that were originally intended to be spoken were also abruptly turned into other words.

"Young Master Qingqiu, since you are not interested in qin songs and dances, why don't you listen to my play? I have some new notes in my hand. If you are interested, I am willing to perform a piece for you."

"Play? Let's sing some more."

Qingqiu Xiao, who wanted to let the other party retreat in spite of the difficulties, couldn't help but hesitate after seeing Cellulu's appearance of confidence. After a while, he said.

When she got the chance, Cellulu gave it her all. She turned her heart and closed her eyes. After hypnotizing herself for a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and sang a cappella when there was no one in front of her.

Could it be that the step is shaking and the treasure bun is exquisite,

Could it be that the skirt is dragged around the ring.

Could it be that the wind blows the iron eaves and moves forward,

Could it be that the bell of the Brahma King's Palace is ringing at night.

Here I stalk and listen to the sound in the east of the wall,

But it turned out that the man from the west wing was Li Sitong.

He doesn't do the iron cavalry and spear.

He is ineffective at the mountain and the sky.

He didn't try to get the wind and the moon out of his arrogance,

He was like a child whispering in the small window.

He thinks and hates being poor,

They all lost their sexes only for Jiaoluan and young phoenixes.

Before the end of his song, I have already made up my mind,

It is clear that the shrike is flying from west to east.

Feeling a heartbroken night,

The bosom friend has the same heart through the ages,

All in silence.

Chrollo looked at Cellulo with interest. Thanks to the translator, he could fully appreciate and understand this strange art form. Cellulo's voice was soft and melodious. The tone of voice with hidden tenderness and sweetness sings a hundred times and a thousand times, the sleeves are lightly raised, the body is leaning low, the orchid fingers are twisted, and the face is half-covered. However, he hesitated and paused, like a girl who was immersed in love but worried about gains and losses. The interpretation of the girl's feelings is always a poem. It turns out that she can also make such an expression, Chrollo thought with a smile.

After singing the song, Qingqiu said excitedly after changing his previous scorn.

"Okay, okay, your singing voice is unheard of, but it's strange. The lyrics are also beautiful and graceful. This is definitely an innovation. Did you come up with it yourself? Bring the book to me, and let's study it together. Ah, maybe we can catch up with this big birthday, it will definitely shock all four..."

Indulged in the excitement of seeing the new play, Qingqiu Xiao fell into the inextricable self-world as he spoke.

"Young Master Qingqiu, that is to say, you are willing to let me join the group..."

Looking at Chrollo, Cellulu interrupted the other party's self-talk and confirmed.

"Of course." Peach Blossom Eyes looked over like a fascinated soul. Qingqiu Xiao's smile was bright and bright, and she eagerly wanted to hold Cellulu's hand, but before touching it, she seemed to want to avoid suspicion and paused for a while. , and then put it down.

After that, Cellulu devoted herself to the rehearsal of the new play and spent the whole day in Qingqiu's tent. Originally, because of the mission, the big men didn't have any opinion, but she was so busy that she didn't even see anyone. A few big men who were used to being served and taken care of by Celluloid made them very uncomfortable.

Pulling back the curtain, Hisoka looked at Cellulu who was writing **** several cases, and said lazily but with a serious tone.

"My lady, I'm going to be jealous by spending time in other men's tents every day. If you don't come back quickly, I have something to do at home for you to take care of~"

In front of outsiders, Hisoka's wife has always spared no effort to call her, and she is not reluctant at all. However, these days, other people have become accustomed to this name because they are under the shelter of others.

"Ah, okay, Young Master Qingqiu, I'll go first, I'll come back when I'm done."

Hearing this, Cellulu put down the pen in her hand and looked at Qingqiu Xiao apologetically,

"It's okay, Xiaosai, go ahead, I'm familiar with the lyrics myself."

Qingqiu Xiao is also a familiar one. After getting to know him, his name changed from Mrs. Sai to the current Xiaosai. After sorting out the cloth in his hand, he smiled understandingly.

The so-called family matters, in fact, are nothing more than two things, cooking and laundry, although the rice ball is provided, but the few people who are unwilling to do it will naturally not eat it, and don’t expect to do laundry. I once let a few big men do it themselves , but it turned out that the clothes were washed immediately, which added another burden to the economy that was already worse at the time, making Cellulu angry and distressed for money, and finally took the job herself.

Therefore, when Qingqiu Xiao went out for a walk after half an hour, what she saw was the scene of Cellulu washing by the river.

"Hey, you just said there was something at home, and that's it? Where's your housekeeper, why didn't you wash it?"

Looking at Cellulu's action of rolling up her sleeves in disbelief, Qingqiu's eyes widened and he questioned.

"Well, they're not very good at housework~"

Cellulo smiled awkwardly and hesitated.

"I'm not good at it, so I don't do it? How can there be such a man~"

Qingqiu's red lips parted slightly, a look of astonishment on his face.

Suddenly a voice came from beside him.

"Hey, woman, have you washed it yet? That kid Illumi has already brought over today's dishes."

Then a figure flashed by quickly and stopped beside Cellulu. It was Feitan. Seeing Qingqiu, he just glanced at him casually and then stared back at Cellulu.

"Just one more piece. Why don't you take this pot back first and tell them I'll be back to cook soon."

Celluloid pointed to the clean basin of clothes by her hand and said.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Qingqiu couldn't help it any longer, and asked in surprise,

"Are you a waiter? It's too presumptuous to call your wife and master a woman, and not only let your wife and master do laundry, but also cook?"

I thought that the waiter had called the word "woman" so rudely, and Cellulu would definitely teach her a lesson, but she didn't think she was at all embarrassed, she was so used to it, and stared at Cellulu in surprise, Qingqiu was just astonished. It's hard to believe that there is such a woman.

Cellulu was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, her face was a little red, in the world of the female honor, such behavior must be quite shocking, so she usually avoids the crowd when doing laundry, and goes to a far place to cook. Behind his tent, he concealed his eyes and ears, but he didn't expect to be hit by Qingqiu Xiao today.

Before Cellulu could answer, Feitan narrowed his golden eyes and stared at Qingqiu unhappily.

"Which green onion are you? Can you control the affairs between us? I can call it whatever I like."

"Feitan, don't mess around."

Cellulu frowned, grabbed Feitan who wanted to make trouble, and then turned to explain to Qingqiu.

"Er, it's just a question of name, it doesn't matter, as for the food, they are not used to it, so that's it~"

"Even if you're not used to it, it's usually done by men. You guys are really amazing~ Well~ But, you feel sorry for them~"

Qingqiu Xiao refuted it disapprovingly, and then laughed.

"Hehe, it's alright~"

She didn't know how to answer, and only smiled awkwardly.

"What else, let's go."

Picking up the wooden tub on one side, he threw the last piece of washed clothes into it, Feitan urged impatiently, walking away first.

"Young Master Qingqiu, I'm sorry."

Cellulu bowed her bow and said goodbye with a smile.

Qingqiu looked at the two people who were completely opposite to the world, with the man in front and the woman in the back gradually walking away.

A few days later, Xilulu and the others followed Wenxinyuan to Miyun. Miyun was already full of people. Li Guo’s birthday was very grand. It lasted for a month. All countries sent envoys to congratulate. The program arrangement of the celebration requires that there be no repetitions every day, and it must be renovated every day. For this reason, a team of famous actors in the world is even recruited to sing and dance to help the fun. King Li also generously set up a ten-mile flowing water banquet outside the city to entertain the Quartet spontaneously. People from all over the world.

For a time, Miyun was overcrowded, and envoys, actors, merchants, merchants, and even some bad elements flooded into the city, filling the streets, even inns and the like were full. Fortunately, the text Xinyuan was the imperial summons, so a fixed post house was arranged instead.

Wenxinyuan's program was scheduled for the second half of the month, and naturally, Cellulu and Qingqiu Xiaopu were still together, rehearsing the program. After the matter was confirmed, Chrollo and the others went to their respective activities. Every day. It is also not even a shadow of a person, and only appears when eating.

After getting along for the past half a month, Cellulu and Qingqiuxiao have become familiar with each other. Today, during the rehearsal period, there is nothing to do. She asked Qingqiuxiao about the birthday.

"By the way, the general birthday is only three or five days. Why is it so ostentatious this time, even if you want to say why Yu Guijun celebrates his birthday, it is too grand."

Qingqiu Xiao stopped fiddling with the strings and explained.

"Actually, it's three happy birthdays. This time it's not only King Li's 30th birthday, but also Huang Huang's husband. If you give birth to a child, you'll be too daughter-in-law. However, everyone doesn't care about this matter. Watching Yu Guijun go."

Looking up to see Cellulu, she seemed very dazed, completely puzzled by how good-looking Yu Guijun was, Qingqiu Xiao continued.

"That Yu Guijun is Yu Xiaoli, who is known as the most beautiful man in the world and a talented person. How many royal nobles were about to break their heads for him, but they only love their fiancee, and as a result, what kind of despicableness did King Li do? The means, killed his fiancee, forced him into the palace, just two months after entering the palace, he has already been enshrined in the position of the noble, this big celebration is also to show off."

"Ao, this is it, then looking at it this way, this Yu Guijun is also a pitiful person."

Celluloid nodded and said.

"Yeah, you can't help yourself. Even if you are unparalleled in the world and you are beautiful, you are not at the mercy of others. If I find a wife and owner, it must be someone who is willing to take me first." Qingqiu Xiao sighed.

"You will definitely find it, Young Master Qingqiu." Cellulu smiled comfortingly.

"Unfortunately, it's hard to find good women. Most of them are bad-hearted women. I see that you are really kind to your relatives. You obey your words. If you want to add me one more, what do you think?"

Qingqiu Xiao pretended to sigh, and then asked with a half-truth smile.

"Huh? Young Master Qingqiu, you are joking,"

Cellulu was stunned for a moment, then said uncomfortably.

"No, I'm serious, Xiaosai."

Qingqiu Xiao suddenly pulled Cellulu's hand, her purple eyes were like a deep pool, deep and bottomless, but they showed a different kind of persistence.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be serious, Cellulu was stunned, trying to withdraw her hand while trying to persuade her.

"Young Master Qingqiu, you are a person like jade and pearls, and you will definitely find someone who is willing to mingle with you in the future. I am already a married woman, and I have no appearance or virtue, so how can I climb high."

"What do you say is not high, I'm just an actor, you are too modest, Xiaosai, you say that Yiqiu priceless treasures are rare to have lovers. These days, you and your husband and wife get along, and I also see it in my eyes. What I want is such a wife and owner who is willing to respect others and not restrain others' freedom, I thought it was my extravagant request, but I didn't expect it, but I was really met, how could you let me miss this opportunity."

Qingqiu Xiao let go of Cellulu's hand, but still stared affectionately.

"This, no, I'm not as good as you said••"

Looking at the other person's skeptical expression of "You don't need to say anymore, I can see how good you are to them" in both eyes, Cellulu can't express her pain now, but she looks good because they are halfway husband and wife, and they are polite to each other. , In fact, how can there be true feelings, the hypocrisy is full of hypocrisy, but now she has no choice but to ruthlessly refuse.

"Also, Young Master Qingqiu, I have no love for you."

"Well~ it's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, as long as you don't hate me, it's fine. Anyway, I also want to find a good wife and owner, and I didn't expect anything from you. Feelings, I believe that after entering your house, you will treat me well too."

However, Qingqiu Xiao just pondered for a while and returned with a smile on his face.

"what?"

Celluloid was dumbfounded, but immediately launched a shield,

"But, you see, there are already six ministers in my family, and they will definitely not agree."

"It's easy to handle. Now I'll go and tell them, I believe, I will be able to get along well with a few brothers."

Hearing this reason, Qingqiu Xiao laughed even more, and couldn't help but say, grabbed Cellulu, and moved quickly to find Chrollo and the others.

"No, Young Master Qingqiu, listen to me, you..."

Cellulu was in a hurry. It was just a pretext. I didn't expect that the other party would dare to go directly to someone else's room. Would an ordinary man be so disrespectful? As she struggled, she wanted to drag him back, but she was not strong enough to be an enemy, and was pulled away as usual.

Being pulled out of the room door, before Cellulu could continue to persuade her, she heard Qingqiu Xiao say hello.

"Ah, Grand Master Sai, I just happened to be looking for you."

Hearing this, Cellulu was stunned for a while, and she looked up immediately and saw that Chrollo was coming back from outside the park calmly, she couldn't help crying, how could it be, why Chrollo appeared at this time, God, This joke is humiliating. She desperately blocked Qingqiu Xiao in front of her, and Cellulu tried her best to persuade him to go back.

"Young Master Qingqiu, let's go back to your room first."

As soon as Chrollo stepped into the inner courtyard, he saw the two people pulling and pulling in the courtyard. Seeing that Cellulu looked suspicious, Qingqiu Xiao was eager to say something to him, and thought for a while, He asked with a smile.

"Young Master Qingqiu, do you have anything to do with me? Why don't you go to my room and talk slowly."
