37 You will learn it in one go

He lowered his head, following the gaze of Sandman Xie Hanjing, and looked at the flower in front of him, as leisurely as if he was strolling in his own garden.

Suddenly, they both reached out their hands.

…

The sandman Xie Hanjing turned away with empty hands, knowing nothing about it.

The strange man slowly withdrew his hand, and no dust was seen flying. However, all the flowers were annihilated into gravel one by one. The whole process was silent and rapid.

A small brown bead had nowhere to hide, and just as it was about to fly out of the yard, an icy aura instantly wrapped it up.

The bead trapped in the spiritual energy instantly turned gray. The strange man walked forward and gently held it in his hand.

It's the key!

Hua Lang subconsciously wanted to take a step forward, but then she realized that her body seemed to be fixed and she couldn't move at all.

Oh no, her existence must have been discovered by this person a long time ago!

Sure enough, after the man took the key in his hand, he immediately turned around and looked at Hua Lang who had broken into the garden.

His face seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, making it difficult to see his facial features. A few strands of hair that were not pinned up in front of his forehead hung down casually, and his whole body exuded a lazy air, as if he was strolling in the garden.

But when he saw Hua Lang clearly, his composure disappeared and he stepped back repeatedly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Hua Lang was startled by his action and forgot about the situation for a moment. "What, what happened?"

Hearing the voice, the man calmed down slightly and stood in the distance looking at Hua Lang.

He was standing far away, and Hua Lang only noticed his toes. For some reason, although he had clearly reached the ground, he was still not touching the ground.

Before he could take a few more glances, the man who had been retreating repeatedly teleported in front of Hua Lang. He lowered his head and looked at Hua Lang's face carefully.

Although he couldn't see his facial features clearly, Hua Lang could clearly feel the confusion on his face.

"How can a mortal look so similar to her? The nose... the mouth... are exactly the same, only the eyes are different..."

Although this person was strange, he did not take anyone's life directly. Hua Lang tried to communicate with him, "What are you talking about? What's similar?"

Rong Cheng Yunxuan did not respond. He stretched out his hand, as if trying to wipe the dust off Hua Lang's face.

At this moment, a sword energy broke through the flying sand and headed straight for him!

Rong Chengyunxuan did not move at all, and the sword energy seemed to be covered by ice, solidifying in place inch by inch.

Hua Lang turned his eyes and looked over, it was Xie Hanjing!

He seemed to have been immobilized by the same move, and the sword he had not been able to retract was still pointing steadily at Rong Cheng Yunxuan.

Rong Chengyunxuan's fingertips stretched out towards Hua Lang without any hindrance, but did not touch her face. He just lightly touched her from a distance. A soft and cold breath blew over, and the dust on Hua Lang's face was peeled off, revealing the fair skin underneath.

Rong Chengyunxuan withdrew his hand with satisfaction, "This is much better to the eye. It looked so dirty just now."

After being frightened for so long, he ended up washing her face. Hua Lang said angrily, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

He seemed to notice Hua Lang's mood and asked doubtfully, "Are you angry? I just saw that you were disheveled and dirty, so I cleaned up the dirt for you."

That's not necessary. Hua Lang said bluntly: "Compared to this, what I need more is for you to remove the immobilization spell on me."

Rong Cheng Yunxuan waved his hand and actually untied the restraints on Hua Lang.

Hua Lang stretched her body, still a little bit in disbelief. She pointed at Xie Hanjing and said tentatively, "Untie him too."

Rong Chengyunxuan nodded, but as soon as he untied it, Hua Lang ran to Xie Hanjing without hesitation and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Hanjing still didn't put down his sword. He looked at Rong Chengyunxuan warily and replied to Hua Lang softly, "Disciple is fine, Master, this person has ulterior motives and may have other intentions."

Hua Lang nodded in agreement and added, "It seems like he has some mental issues as well."

Rong Chengyunxuan looked at the two people who were talking to each other and felt a little unhappy. "Why are you standing so close to each other? He is your husband?"

The guilty feeling of having just spoken ill of someone else instantly disappeared, and Hua Lang angrily said, "We are master and disciple! A master-disciple relationship!"

Rong Chengyunxuan remained skeptical, "Master and disciple? How could a cultivator take a mortal as his disciple?"

Hua Lang retorted, "First of all, I am not a mortal. Secondly, even if I were a mortal, why can't I accept a monk as my disciple?"

"Really?" He looked at Hua Lang, as if giving alms but also as an order. "No matter who you are, you must obey me now. Time flows slowly in Sand City. Once I have complete control of this city, you can stay here. You should be able to live another hundred years."

How could there be such a strange person in this world? Hua Lang was still pondering this question when Xie Hanjing swung his sword towards Rong Chengyunxuan. "You really have bad intentions and want to trap Master here!"

Rong Chengyunxuan was puzzled again. Was this man angry? From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever disobeyed his orders, let alone behaved so disrespectfully in front of him.

He waved his sleeves, and a surge of spiritual energy rushed over, turning every inch of it into ice.

He originally wanted to defeat Xie Hanjing directly, but unexpectedly, Xie Hanjing seemed to be not afraid of the extreme cold at all. He blocked the attack head-on, broke through the ice and snow, and swung his sword again.

…

After being fixed by Rong Chengyunxuan, Hua Lang sighed and advised Xie Hanjing behind him, "This Sand City is so small, there's no way to escape, why bother to confront him head-on?"

Xie Han coughed up blood in shock, his voice weak. "Master, this man is too arrogant. If Sand City recognizes him as its master..."

Hua Lang naturally understood what he wanted to say. Fortunately, they were back to back. She moved her fingertips secretly, and Xie Hanjing immediately understood. He let go of her hand and crossed his fingertips with hers.

Failing the main quest is scary enough, but if you also have to resort to the imprisonment game, you might as well just die.

What's the difference between staying in a dead and silent sand city for a lifetime and entering a cemetery?

Hua Lang said, "Hey!" and after successfully attracting Rong Chengyunxuan's attention, she said, "Although I don't know why you think I'm a mortal, I am indeed a cultivator and have reached the Golden Core stage. Why don't you take a closer look?"

Rong Cheng Yunxuan, who was tidying up his hair that had been messed up by the sword energy, turned around and looked at Hua Lang's dantian very obediently. After a moment, he really found something wrong. "Huh... This is strange. Could it be that you have gone astray? If so, it would be inconvenient for me to take you back to Zhongzhou with me."

As Rong Cheng Yunxuan walked towards Hua Lang, he was thinking seriously about how to preserve this interesting toy for hundreds more years.

"If you are really a demon cultivator, then I can only peel off your skin, mount it on a painting and take it back." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and was about to feel Hua Lang's vital pulse.

At this moment, Hua Lang immediately turned over his hand and slapped the ground. Layers of flying sand were lifted up by the spiritual energy and pierced straight towards Rong Cheng Yunxuan like a hidden weapon!

But before it got close, the force was taken away, and the grains of yellow sand could only linger in the air in vain.

Rong Chengyunxuan: "Although the speed is fast, the power is average. This shouldn't be your spirit—"

Before he finished speaking, the yellow sand suspended in the air suddenly became messy, and a black creature covered with sand suddenly flew up and pounced towards Rong Cheng Yunxuan -

Then he skillfully pulled up the collar.

As the robe was wrinkled, fine sand and dust rustled into the collar. When Coal Ball escaped along the shadow, Rong Chengyunxuan could still see the round, earth-colored mark on his chest.

His scalp felt slightly numb, and waves of coldness spread from his chest throughout his body. Unable to bear it any longer, Rong Cheng Yunxuan turned his head and began to dry heave.

After vomiting, he clutched his chest tightly, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. His face was as pale as rice paper and he had no time to care about the two people who were tied up. He stumbled over to change his clothes.

Excessive mysophobia is a mental illness!

Seeing Rong Chengyunxuan leave, Xie Hanjing asked in a low voice, "Master, is there something wrong with your body?"

Although Hua Lang himself was unsure, he still whispered back, "Don't worry, it will be fine after a while."

Xie Hanjing was not fooled by her, "Master, are you really possessed?"

Hua Lang knew that this matter had nothing to do with demonic possession, but the existence of the system could not be mentioned. Unsure how to explain it, he casually said, "Yes, I am a demonic cultivator now. You'd better not call me Master."

Xie Hanjing fell silent.

Hua Lang had his back to him and felt inexplicably nervous when he heard that he didn't continue speaking.

The joke didn't seem funny.

But the next second, Xie Hanjing's tone was firm and he said seriously, "Even if you are a demon cultivator, you are still my master."

Hua Lang suddenly wanted to look back and see the expression on his face.

She suppressed the heaviness in her heart and continued in her casual tone, "I'm not worried, so why should you worry? The most important thing right now is to get the key back."

Xie Hanjing didn't seem to think it was ridiculous for the two of them to try to snatch something from a Nascent Soul cultivator. He analyzed, "Sand City has been largely destroyed. If the remaining part of the city is destroyed before he can fuse the key, the key might be restored."

Hua Lang's eyes moved slightly. She tried hard to look up, only to see that the sandstorm in the sky had stopped, the thick yellow color faded, and the city seemed even more desolate.

The man just came here in person to look for the key, probably because in the entire sand city, only the northern corner of the city is still intact, so it is not difficult to destroy it.

She said worriedly, "I just don't know when this immobilization spell will be released."

Xie Hanjing behind him suddenly said, "Okay."

Hua Lang was puzzled, "What do you mean by good..." Before she could finish her sentence, she found that her neck could be twisted.

The immobilization spell was actually broken by Xie Hanjing!

He can do it in one go, worthy of being the male lead!

"You can do it in one go?" A familiar voice sounded from behind. Rong Chengyunxuan, dressed in white, smoothed out the last wrinkle on the corner of his clothes and said softly,

"You two, master and disciple, seem very interesting."
