Chapter 961 The Worried Taoist Master Han

Song Chunxue would never do something that would offend people.

But the next moment, she looked at Master Han, who had suddenly stood in front of her, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"You...you want to force me to become a messenger?"

Master Han handed the brocade pouch to her, saying, "This contains Lan Jin's natal magic treasure, which she deliberately left behind last time. If we were truly in love, I would have kept it to help her overcome her tribulation using special methods. But love is fleeting, and my tribulation is over; I will not fall in love again."

“I will naturally help her with her tribulation, but this thing is crucial to her and must be returned, understand?”

“Oh,” Song Chunxue took it, “I understand, that’s good.”

It seems he will stay here for an even longer period of time.

Song Chunxue turned around and asked her senior brother what his plans were.

She leaped into the deep forest, and before she could speak, Qingyu landed in front of her.

She reached for the brocade pouch and sighed almost imperceptibly, "She heard everything. You should go back."

Song Chunxue took out a cloth bag and handed it over, saying, "These are freshly baked flatbreads from today. Try them."

Qingyu smiled and said, "Thank you."

She held out her palm, in which lay a pair of earrings. "It is impolite not to reciprocate."

Song Chunxue smiled and accepted them, "You're too kind, senior. They're just two guokui."

"See you later." Qingyu lightly leaped onto a branch and disappeared.

Song Chunxue felt envious, wondering when she could come and go so freely, like the wind and a shadow.

She stayed in the woods for a while, and just as she was about to slide down, she suddenly heard a very fast sound.

She immediately drew the short knife from her waist and held it to her heart.

"Clang~"

Damn it, another one who wants to kill her.

She threw Wuyou away as fast as she could, yelling in her mind, "Wake up! Some people say you're just a pretty face with no substance."

Who? Who has the audacity to provoke this Sword Immortal?!

"Clang clang clang!"

Wuyou shot off like an arrow, quickly flying towards the place where she had ambushed Song Chunxue.

In the silent woods, the sound of weapons clashing rang out.

"Bang bang bang!"

Come quick, there's a leopard demon here!

A leopard spirit?

Song Chunxue hesitated. Could she be a match for the leopard demon?

[Come here, what are you dawdling for? Otherwise I'll stab you to death, and then what will you be doing?]

Her eyes immediately lit up with joy; with Wuyou by her side, what did she have to fear?

It's a good opportunity to test my courage.

She immediately pulled out a peach branch and rushed over.

A tall, dark figure, half-hidden in a cloak, with sharp eyes that seemed to be watching its prey, sent a shiver down Song Chunxue's spine.

But she quickly regained her composure, staring at him with the same ambitious gaze, her eyes blazing with murderous intent.

The moment Wuyou left the leopard spirit's neck, Song Chunxue grabbed him, and with her right hand, she wrapped the peach branch around the leopard spirit's neck.

But the leopard demon moved quickly, the sharp blade in its hand slid straight across her neck, the sharp edge flashing a chilling light in the sunlight.

A sudden heat rose to Song Chunxue's head, and she felt inexplicably excited; this was the feeling of meeting a worthy opponent.

She seized the opportunity, showing no weakness and delivering deadly blows.

Peach branch's agility compensated for her short arms and legs, and the imminent threat of death made her blood boil.

This leopard was incredibly powerful; its legs were so strong that she could only dodge repeatedly, using her speed and tricky angles to leave sword marks on its body.

As her entire body soared into the air and leaped among the branches of the trees, Song Chunxue belatedly realized that her movements were much lighter and faster than before.

It seems that what Senior Lan Jin taught her was all practical and very important in actual combat.

Before she could catch her breath, she fought desperately like a madwoman, the longsword in her hand flashing out afterimages.

But gradually, she discovered her weakness. Her opponent was incredibly strong, and if she didn't kill him with a single blow, she might lose her life in a moment of carelessness.

Just as she hesitated, a command suddenly came from the distant void: "Stop."

The leopard demon suddenly stiffened, its sharp pupils trembling slightly.

He found a sharp blade pressed against the back of his neck, which had already cut his clothes.

Song Chunxue looked up, "Master Han?"

The leopard spirit reluctantly released the spikes in its hand, took off its cloak and hood, and turned to look at Master Han.

"Greetings, senior."

Song Chunxue raised an eyebrow. Did they know each other?

"Are you standing up for Lan Jin, or are you harboring resentment over Chong Shan's matter and seeking revenge?" Master Han sneered. "You deliberately chose the weakest one to attack. Do you even consider yourself a man?"

The leopard spirit lowered its eyes and remained silent.

Song Chunxue jumped onto a tree branch behind Master Han and looked at the leopard demon with great interest. "A very strong monster. By mortal standards, his physique and appearance are no worse than yours. Why did Lan Jin take a fancy to you?"

"..."

"..."

Their eyes were all on Song Chunxue.

"I meant no offense. What I mean is, brother, we have no grudge against each other, why are you trying to kill me?"

Judging from his appearance, Song Chunxue thought he was Senior Xin Yuelan, so she gave him some advice.

"If you truly love Senior Lan Jin, you should take the initiative to pursue her. Read more folk tales and learn those blush-inducing, heart-pounding scenes that no woman can resist. With your qualities, Lan Jin should fall for someone else within a year."

"Oh, by the way, the most important thing to win a beauty's heart is sincerity, don't be secretive..." Song Chunxue looked at the leopard spirit's increasingly red face and couldn't help but be surprised, "Although this person tried to kill me just now, he..."

Master Han raised his hand to block her eyes, saying, "Do not look at what is improper. You are a married woman and should uphold the virtues of a wife for Lord Xie's sake."

ah?

Adhering to traditional female virtues?

She only glanced at the leopard spirit's shy expression.

Song Chunxue's lips twitched slightly. "I didn't commit adultery. I just simply thought, 'So, even leopard spirits...'"

She wanted to say something more, but Master Han cast a silencing spell on her.

He waved his hand at the leopard demon, "Next time, look carefully before you act. Although she's not very strong, with this sword, you wouldn't be able to die hundreds of times over."

The leopard spirit bowed its head and clasped its hands, but the next moment, it stumbled and fell off the tree.

In a panic, he grabbed the tree trunk and clumsily slid down, his face flushed red and his neck looking like it had been splattered with chicken blood.

Song Chunxue pursed her lips tightly. She understood. This leopard spirit was easily embarrassed.

But she will not forgive him for the arrow he just shot.

To be precise, it was a dart.

"Whoosh!"

Song Chunxue threw out the dart she carried with her, which struck the leopard demon in the back.

The leopard spirit suddenly turned around, its eyes fierce.

"It's only polite to return what you've received," Song Chunxue said calmly. "Remember, I'm not someone to be trifled with now."

Master Han breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Let's go."

He frowned and after a long pause, he said, "Actually, most of the demons who have cultivated from animals are more clumsy and simple-minded than ordinary people. Don't flirt with them next time, lest you get into trouble with bad romantic relationships at your age."

"..." She wanted to say, "Am I any bigger than you?" but was afraid of getting beaten up.

"Besides, most demons have cultivated seductive arts, and you can't resist them," Master Han earnestly advised her. "If Lord Xie knew, he would definitely be saddened."

"..." Song Chunxue was speechless. "Master Han, I will never praise any man other than Master Xie again, never."
