"Have you found any trace of them?"
Wuguzi didn't care about Nangong Ziyan and Beiming Haotian acting alone. The more Nangong Ziyan ran around, the more chances she had to obtain the Seven Eternal Jade. These past few days, dark clouds had been covering the area, preventing him from observing the changes in the Seven Eternal Jade, which made Wuguzi somewhat angry.
His tortoise shell divination broke when Nangong Ziyan appeared. He didn't know why, but there was a strong possibility that what he had predicted back then would not happen, while something he hadn't expected would happen to him. He had been searching for a way to restore the tortoise shell divination, otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
"Master, they are on their way to the South China Sea Glazed Palace, but given the Demon Lord's personality, they will appear there in a few days."
"Yes! You need to hurry. Also, during this time, I want you to continuously send out our most elite people to assassinate Bei Ming Haotian. I want him to be restless day and night, exhausted. Send them out whether they are demonic beasts or monsters."
"Yes, Master."
As Baili Yuechan lowered her head, Wuguzi had already disappeared from the room.
Baili Yuechan looked out the window, her heart torn apart by hatred and jealousy, her expression twisted into a grimace.
After Nangong Ruichen brought the woman in white back to the inn, he quickly found a pharmacist to treat her. The woman had only lost a lot of blood and was otherwise fine.
Because Nangong Ruichen brought back a woman, Sima Jiaorong, Nangong Yuze, and Nangong Jingqi all came over.
The woman woke up shortly after the pharmacist left.
The woman had a fair and delicate face, but her lips were a fiery red, giving her a strikingly alluring look. Especially when she lightly swept her lips across her face, her shimmering eyes could make anyone who looked at her want to be captivated. Nangong Ruichen suddenly felt his heart clench, a bad premonition washing over him. He took a deep breath, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart. This woman was beautiful, but she inexplicably instilled a sense of dread in him.
"Girl, are you alright?"
Nangong Ruichen asked expressionlessly, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.
The woman glanced at Nangong Ruichen, then turned her gaze back to Sima Jiaorong and the others, before finally returning it to Nangong Ruichen.
"Was it you, young master, who saved me?"
The woman's clear voice was very pleasant to hear.
"How did you know it was me who saved you? It seems you encountered a magical beast, young lady. Was the wound on your arm inflicted by a magical beast?"
The cold voice carried a hint of doubt, yet it was not easily discernible.
Nangong Ruichen thought about the location where the woman appeared, which happened to be the exact moment Dongfang Yifei disappeared. There were too many people out tonight, and the woman's appearance was too coincidental. Although the wound on her arm was quite painful, it was in just the right place.
He had been tracking Dongfang Yifei for more than just a night or two. Dongfang Yifei had changed so much recently that he had to be on guard.
"Young master, I have been chased by monsters for two days and two nights. I was injured and exhausted, which is why I fainted."
The woman explained softly, her face showing lingering fear.
"Being chased by a magical beast?" Nangong Jingqi probed the woman's strength with great interest. On the surface, she looked delicate and beautiful, but her cultivation was quite good. You should know that the terrain in this Netherworld Continent is not like other continents, and magical beasts rarely appear.
"Where are you from, young lady? Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
Sima Jiaorong asked, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Nangong Yuze didn't speak, but looked at the woman with suspicion. These were special times, so he had to be careful.
"Madam, my name is Xue Ji. I am from Qinghe Town on the Netherworld Continent. I heard that the glass ornaments of the South Sea Glass Palace are very beautiful, so I secretly ran away by myself, hoping to see the splendor of the South Sea Glass Exhibition. I did not expect to get lost on the mountain and encounter a magical beast, which led to this incident. Xue Ji is still very scared when she thinks about it."
Yuki looked terrified and her expression was so serious that it was hard to doubt her.
"So that's what happened. It seems Miss Xueji was quite frightened. Miss Xueji, you should rest early, as we have to travel tomorrow."
Although Sima Jiaorong had some doubts, seeing this woman named Xue Ji gave her a sense of unease and unease, and her intuition told her that she didn't have much affection for Xue Ji.
"Thank you, Madam!"
"All of you, get out!"
Just as the family turned around, Xue Ji suddenly called out to Nangong Ruichen.
"Young master, please wait."
Nangong Ruichen frowned slightly. "Mother, Father, you should go back first."
"good!"
Nangong Jingqi pouted. Why didn't he have a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? So he followed Sima Jiaorong and the others out.
"Is there anything else, young lady?"
Nangong Ruichen stood still and asked.
Xue Ji frowned slightly. What a cold man. With her beautiful appearance, if she met any other man, he would have been as gentle as water to her long ago. But Nangong Ruichen was not bewitched by her. Was she not pretty enough in his eyes?
"Young master, the magical beast chasing Xue Ji is very powerful. It's not something Xue Ji can easily defeat. Xue Ji thanks you again for saving her life."
Yukihime expressed her sincere gratitude!
"Young lady, you're injured, you should rest early!"
Nangong Ruichen showed no sympathy as he turned and walked away.
The moment the door closed, Yuki's angry face instantly transformed into a wolf's head, her eyes wide with fury. Only after her anger subsided did she return to her human form.
