Hu Da made no promises, yet it was as if she had promised everything!

Hana-chan simply let out a happy whisper, turned around, and ran off with a laugh. Her lively, excited, and joyful appearance looked very familiar to Yao Anna.

That's not...

Is this what it's like when fans bump into their idols and even have contact with them?!

Okay!

Annabel Yao also felt that if Hu Da could enter the entertainment industry, she would definitely be one of the top performers who could easily reach the top!

However, she didn't seem to have any interest in it, and had always worked diligently behind Song Mengmeng as an assistant and image consultant.

Although she was right next to the three of them, she couldn't quite hear what they were saying, as if their voices were separated by thousands of miles. However, judging from the way the girl left, it seemed that they had a fairly harmonious conversation.

Annabel Yao has never been particularly concerned about these matters. In her view, as long as there is no dispute, there is nothing for her to ask.

Anyway, Mengmeng wouldn't hurt her!

This little incident did not dampen Song Mengmeng and her friends' enthusiasm for their trip. They didn't return to the city until dusk.

When Yao Anna decided to come to Xi'an, she suggested that she visit the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City.

Having just returned from Huaqing Pool, Hu Da, urged by the two young girls, drove to the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City.

Since Yao Anna had wanted to come and have fun for a long time, she naturally made preparations in advance. As soon as she got out of the car, she took out the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) that she had prepared in advance from the trunk, and pulled Song Mengmeng and Hu Da to change together. Then the three of them followed the crowded flow of people and walked into the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City.

Having experienced the true splendor of a prosperous era, Hu Da and Song Mengmeng would likely find this replica from a thousand years later somewhat less interesting.

But Yao Anna is different. The movie she recently filmed is about the Tang Dynasty. Having done her research on this period of history, she felt a unique sense of emotion and excitement when she was in this prosperous and beautiful place.

The three of them strolled along like this, and aside from everything else, it was enough for Yao Anna to dispel the lingering unease and fear in her heart.

However, this sense of ease did not last long. Song Mengmeng and Hu Da clearly felt the change in the atmosphere.

This feeling is very familiar to both Song Mengmeng and Hu Da!

A familiar yet repulsive taste!

"What do they want to do?!" Song Mengmeng frowned and stopped. They were at a crossroads, the most bustling central intersection in the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City, and the place made them feel a sense of oppression that made it hard to move.

Layers upon layers of black mist surged from the end of the Heavenly Street not far away, carrying an lingering aura of malevolent spirits. The faint, elusive sound of bells seemed to come from a more distant time and space, thousands of years ago...

"A parade of a hundred demons!"

Hu Da stepped to the side, blocking Song Mengmeng's path.

In that brief pause, in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a fantastical, prosperous world completely different from the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City they had been in before.

The scenery here feels strangely familiar.

However, the low-lying streets around them and the iconic carp streamers of the Sakura Kingdom proved that they were now light-years away.

What Song Mengmeng didn't expect was that Hu Da and Yao Anna were no longer by her side. This huge illusion array, which appeared almost instantly, seemed to be aimed at her.

"Long time no see, Miss Pixiu!" Just as Song Mengmeng was standing there, looking at the changes in the surrounding scene, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

It is Shuten-dōji, who has been missing for a long time.

It's a very persistent and haunting spirit.

"I will never believe a single word you say again!" Song Mengmeng turned around and threw a gold-embossed invitation at Shuten-dōji, who was standing not far from her. "You invited me to the gathering, but then stood me up! What we Pixiu hate most is being deceived!"

She didn't like the monster in front of her!

Even though he hasn't shown her any malice, she still doesn't like him!

"I'm so sorry, it was just a little accident, so I had to postpone it!" Shuten-dōji looked at Song Mengmeng apologetically and explained helplessly, "But don't worry, the Famous Blade Exhibition will definitely be held! I will personally come to welcome you!"

"But I'm not interested in this anymore! So, could you please stay away from me and stop bothering me with these pointless things?!" Song Mengmeng raised her chin slightly, rejecting Shuten-dōji's kindness with a touch of arrogance.

I know what you're planning to do!

If you want to revive your demon god, that's your business in the land of cherry blossoms!

Whatever trouble you cause in Japan is none of my business! But if you try to cause trouble in China, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Monsters have a sense of territory, and so do divine beasts!

The mythical beasts of their land have always guarded their own territory and have never had the habit of wandering around! But for those like Shuten-dōji who come across realms to cause trouble, they can't be blamed for taking action to drive them away!

“Miss Pixiu, you should know that I have never had any ill intentions towards you!” Song Mengmeng’s rejection caused a clear look of hurt to appear on Shuten-dōji’s face. He sighed softly, looking like he could not bear such a blow.

To be honest, Shuten-dōji was not bad-looking. It would be easy for girls who did not know the truth to be deceived by such a handsome man showing such an expression of being unable to bear the pain.

However, Song Mengmeng knew very well the true nature of the seemingly gentle and harmless handsome monster in front of her!

No matter how handsome he is, he'll still eat people!

"A bad person will not tell others that he is a bad person before he harms them!"

Similarly, when you, Shuten-dōji, are luring young girls into your trap, you don't tell them you're lying, do you? Song Mengmeng tilted her head, subtly taking a few steps back before standing still and looking at Shuten-dōji: "So, someone with a criminal record like you doesn't have any credibility with me!"

"Then how can I gain your trust, Miss Pixiu?!" Shuten-dōji sighed and actually followed Song Mengmeng's suggestion, no longer engaging in the meaningless pretense he had been doing before.

"Perhaps you should consider how you're going to face my beating?!" Before Shuten-dōji could finish speaking, he quickly retreated to a distance of about ten steps. Where he had been standing, Yan Di was coldly shielding the little girl behind him!
