Feng Wan's face was smeared with the blood and flesh of the man in black.

A sharp pain shot through my face—smack!

Gui Yan received a solid slap. "Useless!"

"Hiss!" She gasped, "Ah, my face!"

Although it was only a single drop of blood, it seemed to be poisonous.

When Gui Yan looked up again and saw Feng Wan's face, his eyes were filled with terror; "Your Highness."

"Mirror, where is the mirror?!"

Feng Wan covered her face. Gui Yan instinctively tried to hide the mirror, but Feng Wan had already seen herself in it. The blood splattered on her left cheek was spreading at a visible speed, and the black scar was as big as a bowl!

It took up almost half of her face.

"Ahhh!" Feng Wan covered her face and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Your Highness, quickly, take the medicine." Gui Yan took out a pill and gave it to Feng Wan.

The burning pain had finally subsided a bit, but—the bowl-sized scar was still there.

"Aaaaaah! How could this happen?!"

Gui Yan dipped a piece of paper in blood, and the paper turned black at a visible speed.

This blood is poisonous!

What a cunning Jun Qing! That despicable woman!

=========

Achoo!

At that moment, Jun Liuyue sneezed twice.

She had already left the ghost market, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Looks like someone's been talking about me."

Nine times out of ten, it's Feng Wan and Gui Yan.

She planted a deadly poison in the assassin's body, using his body as a vessel so that anyone who came into contact with the spurting blood would be burned by the poison carried in the blood.

In her previous life, among those who treated illnesses and saved lives, her most skilled skill was in making poisons.

The poisons she concocts are cunning and unpredictable; without real skill, there's really no way to master them.

but--

As a princess of the royal family, this poison shouldn't be difficult for Feng Wan to use, right?

Jun Liuyue's lips curled slightly.

After changing his clothes, Wu Yan finally didn't look so much like a homeless person. She took Wu Yan's pulse and found that his Qi Sea seemed to have been forcibly shattered. His current cultivation level was only at the level of a Spirit Master, but his strength was extremely great.

Even cultivators at the Spirit Venerable Realm might not be able to withstand his brute force.

With Wu Yan by his side, he blocked many of the ill-intentioned glances.

Not far away, a pair of eyes were fixed on the direction of the two, and they followed closely behind.

Her petite figure was easily concealed in the crowd, making her difficult to spot.

But as they walked, the scarlet figure disappeared.

She stopped and looked around.

The next second, her collar was lifted up.

"Let me go!"

Her eyes widened, but she couldn't break free at all; she was being lifted by her feet and dangling in the air.

Then—it was dumped in a small alley.

"What are you doing?!"

The little girl angrily raised her head and met that smiling face.

"Sister—Big sister."

The little girl's eyes lit up.

But when he saw the fierce-looking Wu Yan beside him, he extinguished the fire.

"Why are you following me?" She sensed someone was following her as soon as she left the ghost market.

Isn't this little girl the younger sister of that young man in front of the Dragon Capital Divine Doctor Pavilion?

But Longdu and Tianyun City are a day and a night apart. How long has she been following me?

"Sister, I didn't mean any harm!"

When she met Jun Liuyue's gaze, the little girl trembled and quickly waved her hands.

"Little demon!"

Just then, a young man's voice rang out from outside the alley.

"Brother, I'm here." The little girl's eyes lit up.

The young man walked in, looking at Wu Yan warily, and stood protectively in front of the little girl.

"My benefactor." The young man bowed respectfully to Jun Liuyue.

"What is your purpose in following me?"

"Please, benefactor, take in my younger sister, Xiao Yao." The young man lifted his robe and knelt before Jun Liuyue.

"elder brother!"

The girl named Xiao Yao's expression changed.

"You...didn't you say we'd follow our benefactor sister together?"

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Jun Liuyue's lips twitched slightly. When did she agree to take them in?

"To be honest, my benefactor, we came here with you from Longdu."

Upon hearing this, Jun Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, noting that more than a month had passed between the two events.

So, these two siblings spent the entire past month tracking her? And it wasn't until now that she discovered their existence.

"What makes you think I would take in your sister?" Liu Yue raised an eyebrow and sneered. "If you asked me to take her in, I would agree. There are so many people in this world, how could I possibly take them all in?"

"benefactor!"

The young man was at a loss for words, his face flushed with anxiety.

"If my benefactor is willing to take in this little demon, I will serve him like a slave for the rest of my life after I have avenged myself! I will never have any other intentions."

The young man kowtowed heavily, drawing blood from his forehead.

"I never keep useless people around me, so give up on that idea."

She never gets involved in troublesome matters; she's no savior.

“Sister, I’m useful,” the little demon said hurriedly. “I…I have half-demon blood.”

She rolled up her sleeve, revealing gray-black hair on her arm.

She looked pained, curled up on the ground, and then transformed into a pale golden mouse.

"It's a tracking rat. No wonder she could track you for a month." Xiao Luo exclaimed, "It's a tracking rat, so it's not surprising."

"Little demon."

The young man looked at Xiao Yao with heartache. Xiao Yao had already turned back into her original form, her baby face now extremely pale.

"Sister, it really works."
