Chapter 3 The Spoiled Concubine 3

Is Mu Ruoyan still alive?

late at night.

In the deep, quiet bamboo forest...

Luo Xi came here alone. She stopped in her tracks when she saw the person standing in front of her with his back to her.

Just then, Mu Ruoyan turned around, revealing her beautiful face. She was the woman in the white dress that Shen Su had encountered on his way home earlier that day. At this moment, there wasn't a single bloodstain on her dress…

Mu Ruoyan smiled and walked towards Luo Xi, teasingly saying, "You came so fast? What? Afraid I'll steal him away?"

Luo Xi:

That's an understatement; even if she wanted to, she couldn't win.

Luo Xi skillfully took Mu Ruoyan's hand. She was startled for a moment, but Mu Ruoyan didn't notice.

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Sister Ruoyan, it's so good that you're alright."

"By the way, where have you been all these years? I've been looking for you for so long and I still can't find you."

Luo Xi is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, and Mu Ruoyan is also a fox spirit; they are good friends. Ten years ago, Luo Xi was seriously injured by several Taoist priests and nearly died. Mu Ruoyan lured the priests away and saved her life. Mu Ruoyan then completely disappeared that day...

Luo Xi searched for a very long time but couldn't find her. Finally, she returned to Jade Cold Mountain and used a forbidden technique to rapidly increase her cultivation. While forbidden techniques could quickly boost cultivation, they also shortened lifespan. Having used the forbidden technique, Luo Xi could only live for a maximum of ten years, essentially trading her life for cultivation.

Later, Luo Xi went to the Lindao Temple, captured the Taoist priests who were chasing them, and interrogated them about Mu Ruoyan's whereabouts.

They said Mu Ruoyan ran away and they couldn't catch her.

In the end, she killed them.

If it weren't for them, she and Mu Ruoyan wouldn't have gotten separated. Besides, who knows if what they said is true? After all, she had been searching for her for a long time without success.

Three years ago, she passed through the capital and sensed the presence of demons there, so she decided to stay.

Mu Ruoyan: "Xi Xi, that year, I was seriously injured and had no choice but to hide in the deep mountains to recuperate. I'm a little better now, but I've still damaged my primordial spirit, so I have to go back to Yuhan Mountain to continue recuperating."

"I noticed you were here, so I thought I'd come and tell you."

Luo Xi said without hesitation, "I'll go back with you."

Mu Ruoyan asked in surprise, "You're coming back with me? Aren't you going to take care of Prince Su?"

"He's not as important as you."

Luo Xi: "Besides, I can help you."

Mu Ruoyan thought for a moment, then said helplessly, "Okay."

Luo Xi: "Wait here for me, I'll go back and tell Shen Su."

"good."

The moment Luo Xi turned around, her expression changed.

She is not Mu Ruoyan.

Luo Xi quietly set up a barrier here.

The next moment, she slightly turned her hand, and a knife instantly appeared in her palm. Then, she quickly turned around and cleanly plunged the knife into "Mu Ruoyan's" left chest.

"Ah!" A scream rang out...

"Luo Xi, you........you......" "Mu Ruoyan" stared in disbelief at the sword stuck in her chest.

The next second, she turned into a large black snake, writhing in pain in the bamboo forest, making a huge commotion.

Luo Xi took a few steps back, looking at her coldly. Then, she waved her hand, and the black snake was frozen in place.

Just as Luo Xi was about to kill her, the black snake became frightened and shouted:

"Don't you want to know where Mu Ruoyan is? If you kill me, you'll never find out."

The next second, the black snake's head and its vital spot were severed.

Luo Xi thought to herself:

Where is Mu Ruoyan? She's dead; her inner core is inside this black snake. No wonder she carries Mu Ruoyan's aura.

The moment she touched its hand, she knew it wasn't Mu Ruoyan. Its hand was slippery and smelled strongly of snakes.

It's truly despicable! It even stole Mu Ruoyan's memories.

Luo Xi knew why it came to her: it wanted to go to Jade Cold Mountain, where there were many spiritual fruits that could improve one's cultivation. Naturally, it wouldn't let such a thing go to waste.

Unfortunately, it couldn't enter alone because it couldn't break the barrier. Only members of the fox clan knew about and could master that barrier. So, it came to find her.

Luo Xi raised her hand, and an inner core emerged from the black snake's body. She put the inner core into her purse.

Finally, she burned the large black snake with a huge fire.
