Upon hearing this, Gu Zixiao subconsciously intercepted the Taoist's flowing fortune and placed it in his palm. Only then did he examine himself and discover that he had not been cursed by the Taoist.

He took off his elaborate wedding robes and subconsciously put them away. Then he looked down at the old Taoist priest. Just in case, Gu Zixiao used his dagger to form a trapping array on the old Taoist priest to prevent him from leaving any hidden tricks that might cause trouble.

Just as Gu Zixiao finished doing all this, Qi Nan and Wang Zhenfeng came looking for her.

Qi Nan asked, "How is it?"

Gu Zixiao: "Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The mystery of this place was broken, and the mountain god of Baixing Mountain, who had been imprisoned, was released."

"As expected of our Paranormal Bureau's ace, you're a force to be reckoned with the moment you make a move," Wang Zhenfeng remarked.

Gu Zixiao remained silent for a moment, then said with some resentment, "...I didn't do it."

It was that damn bastard who did it.

Wang Zhenfeng and Qi Nan both showed disbelief at the same time.

"Who did that?" Qi Nan couldn't help but ask, driven by her gossip.

You should know that Gu Zixiao is the ace of their paranormal bureau and the army, although her temper is a bit strange and unpredictable.

But their strength is beyond doubt.

Gu Zixiao: "It should be that man."

"That man? Who is he?" Qi Nan asked, somewhat confused.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenfeng reacted quickly and immediately felt a toothache: "Holy crap, it was him? How did he get here? Wait a minute! He has this ability too? Otherwise, how did he manage to do it?"

"I don't know." Gu Zixiao looked at the two of them. "Where are the Wang siblings?"

When the topic of the brother and sister came up, Qi Nan and Wang Zhenfeng both fell silent.

"what happen?"

Wang Zhenfeng looked at Qi Nan, signaling him to speak.

Qi Nan sighed: "When this strange place was in turmoil, Wang Qianqian took advantage of Wang Xinbei's inattention and stabbed him, snatching the long knife from his hand."

That long sword was once a family heirloom of a prominent family in the Kingdom of Sakura. It was later seized by Wang Xinbei's father and became his weapon, which earned him many military merits.

This was Wang Xinbei's first mission, and his father, wanting to encourage his son and help him achieve a perfect result, reluctantly allowed his son to bring his precious treasure along.

"Where is Wang Xinbei?" Gu Zixiao asked.

Qi Nan and Wang Zhenfeng both fell silent.

Gu Zixiao raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that he's dead?"

"No, not at all." Wang Zhenfeng looked like he had a toothache. "He's currently in bed with a good-looking older man named Lan Xingcheng."

Gu Zixiao: ...

Gu Zixiao: !!

Gu Zixiao: ?_?

He paused for a moment, then said, "...In that case, let's go find the person first, and then leave this place."

Qi Nan: "No need to look for anyone. The people who came here before found us on their own after the strange realm was broken."

Gu Zixiao said "Oh," and then continued, "In that case, you can go first. I have something to do."

Wang Zhenfeng grabbed Gu Zixiao's sleeve: "I'll go with you. You can't act alone."

Gu Zixiao gave him a deep look and chuckled softly, "Okay."

Qi Nan glanced at Gu Zixiao, then at Wang Zhenfeng, and waved them away with a headache.

Gu Zixiao didn't stand on ceremony and released the aura of the old Taoist's fortune, which the little ball recognized and followed.

Gu Zixiao had a feeling that if he followed this aura, he could find that man.

We'll talk about it when we meet him...

...

Lan Yao had no idea that Gu Zixiao wanted to find her, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.

Just now, Lan Yao felt a shiver run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat. Before she could do anything, her spatial dimension and left eye began to snatch something away.

Taking advantage of the space's ability to devour things, the jade Pixiu escaped from inside.

As soon as it ran out, it exclaimed, "Master, you, you've been cursed!"

Lan Yao: "...I'm such a kind person, who would have the time to curse me?"

The jade Pixiu reminded, "...that Taoist priest from before."

Lan Yao exclaimed, "I have no grudge against him. Why is he cursing me? That old Bi Deng, I should have killed him if I had known."

Unfortunately, she left that old Bi Deng to Gu Zixiao to commit murder.

"That's not right! It shouldn't be like that. Why doesn't he curse that man?"

Jade Pixiu: "...It's probably because you, Master, have too much, and he's just too jealous of you."

Otherwise, why would you think of casting a curse before even seeing the person?

Jade Abacus said smugly, "My master is indeed mighty and domineering."

Lan Yao pinched the bridge of her nose: "Then how do we remove that curse?"

The jade Pixiu paused for a moment: "...No need to remove it, the space boss swallowed it."

Lan Yao: ...

"...Why does it eat everything?"

Lan Yao didn't care at all why the space had become like this.

She's lived for so many years, what hasn't she seen?

Now that the problem was solved, Lan Yao decided to rest for a while, eat something, and then go up to see how to sabotage the Sakura Kingdom's plans.

She had been busy for two days, and even though she had taken a mental energy recovery potion, she was still mentally exhausted and needed rest.

She closed her eyes to rest while stuffing seafood dumplings she had bought earlier into her mouth.

The seafood filling is made of mackerel. The skin is thin and the filling is generous. The meat is delicate and delicious. It feels like no seasoning was used. The fishy smell was simply removed, and the freshness of the mackerel was brought out to the fullest, making it irresistible.

As Lan Yao ate, she said, "When we get back, I'm going to stock up on more seafood dumplings. They're so delicious."

Yu Suanpan: "Once Master goes to the capital and retrieves the spiritual spring, we can return to Shenzhen."

Lan Yao: "We definitely need to come back. Isn't this place very close to Hong Kong? We still haven't caught that Lan Jiaojiao, have we?"

Jade Pixiu: "Master, there's no need to be in such a hurry to find her. Wouldn't it be better to wait for her to come to you later? Maybe you can even get some resources from her then."

Lan Yao: ...

What to do? She was successfully persuaded.

After all, many of the things she has now were taken from Lan Jiaojiao.

To be honest, stolen goods always taste better.

"...Are you sure she'll come looking for me again?"

Jade Pixiu: "I have a feeling that she will never let my master go. After all, my master stole 80% of his fortune from her."

How could someone like Lan Jiaojiao, the original protagonist and a favorite of Heaven, possibly give up the benefits that rightfully belonged to her?

Lan Yao instantly understood the meaning behind Yu Pixiu's words. She said "Oh" and her eyes lit up: "In that case, let's wait for her to come. Then we can devour her completely, leaving not even a bone or a scrap."
