Chapter 57 Why are you doing this? Xiao Bai is arrested
Xiaobai squatted on the ground, frowning as he looked at the unconscious Yun Zheng.
This person is not very strong and doesn't seem to be very brave either.
She sighed, resigned herself to her fate and stretched out her chubby little hand, ready to drag Yun Zheng to Yinluo City just like she had towed the small bamboo raft before.
At this moment, the boy on the ground's eyelashes trembled.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes seemed brighter than before, less gentle, and more sharp and interesting.
“Hmm…”
Yun Zheng sat up and rubbed his forehead. His movements were smooth, totally unlike someone who had just fainted.
He looked at Xiaobai and a smile so bright that it was dazzling appeared on his face.
"Little White Sister, thank you for saving me again."
His voice was much louder than before, and a little too enthusiastic.
Xiaobai was startled by his sudden alertness.
"Brother Yun Zheng, are you okay?"
She asked cautiously.
"It's okay, it's okay. I feel much better. I've never felt better."
Yun Zheng stood up and dusted himself off, his movements showing an unfamiliar sense of elegance and neatness.
He even took the initiative to extend his hand. "Come on, Xiaobai sister, let's go into the city quickly. I'll take you with me."
Xiaobai looked at the hand he extended to her, then looked at his overly enthusiastic face.
Brother Yun Zheng seems like a different person.
She muttered to herself.
However, maybe he was frightened just now, but now he has recovered and wants to thank me properly.
Three and a half years old Xiaobai doesn’t quite understand the complexity of human hearts.
She nodded and put her little hand into Yun Zheng's palm.
Well, his hands seemed to be stronger than before.
The two soon arrived at Yinluo City.
The city gate was gloomy and filled with ghosts, but it was more orderly than the wilderness outside.
The streets in the city are wide, with many shops run by ghosts on both sides, selling various items unique to the underworld.
"Wow……"
It was the first time that Xiaobai saw such a scene and he looked around curiously.
The smile on Yun Zheng's face deepened. He looked around with interest, his eyes sharp, as if he was evaluating something.
"Sister Xiaobai, look how big this city is."
He said in a relaxed tone, "I don't know which shop I can find the herbs in. Why don't we go together? That way we can look after each other."
Xiaobai was worrying about how to find his third senior brother, and immediately nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, okay, Brother Yunzheng, let's look for it together."
Her mind was now preoccupied with her "weird" third senior brother, and she did not delve into Yun Zheng's subtle changes.
The two walked side by side on the streets of Yinluo City.
When passing by a shop with a plaque that read "Biluo Pavilion", Yun Zheng's footsteps paused almost imperceptibly.
He glanced at the plaque out of the corner of his eye, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he pulled Xiaobai and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
"There doesn't seem to be anything special here. Let's go to the front and take a look."
[Damn it, this is it, Biluo Pavilion, my medicine, go back quickly, please, go back and buy it, okay. ]
An anxious and weak voice was shouting wildly in the depths of Yun Zheng's mind, but it could not affect him at all.
The current "Yun Zheng" has no interest in the so-called life-saving herbs.
He thinks that this is good enough now.
Xiaobai was unaware of all this, and her attention was soon attracted by a roadside stall selling candy figurines of ghost faces.
"Brother Yun Zheng, look at this, what a strange candy man."
She stood on tiptoe and pointed at a sugar man with a green face and fangs.
I saw a stall next to it selling various masks.
"Huh? A mask."
Xiaobai's eyes lit up, he ran over and picked up a mask that was half black and half white with strange lines.
"Brother Yun Zheng, this is for you."
She held up the mask and handed it to Yun Zheng like offering a treasure.
"If you wear this, those bad guys won't recognize you and won't dare to bully you."
Yun Zheng looked at the mask, then at Xiaobai's big, clear eyes, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.
Then, he chuckled and took the mask.
"Thank you, little sister Xiaobai."
He casually put the mask on his face, covering half of his face, revealing only a pair of deep and difficult to discern eyes and a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"This is indeed much more convenient."
Just as Xiaobai was still excitedly browsing the various strange stalls, a cold gaze fell on her.
Not far away, several ghost guards in black armor were surrounding a ghost cultivator with a gloomy and powerful aura, staring at her coldly.
The leading ghost cultivator was none other than the city lord of Yinluo City.
A hint of greed flashed in his narrow eyes.
Such pure soul power and such special soul aura, if they were to be refined into a puppet, it would surely be of top quality.
"Bring that little girl here to me."
The city lord spoke sinisterly.
"yes."
Several ghost guards instantly pounced towards Xiaobai and Yunzheng.
"not good."
Xiaobai reacted very quickly, grabbed Yun Zheng and turned to run.
"Brother Yun Zheng, run quickly."
Her small body burst out with strength, pulling Yun Zheng through the crowded group of ghosts.
Yun Zheng was being pulled by her, but his steps seemed to be a little "staggering", and he was "almost" caught up several times.
He was wearing a mask, so no one could see his expression at the moment. Only his exposed eyes were flashing with a gleam as if he was watching a play.
[Hurry up, what are you waiting for, protect her. ]
The voice in my head was almost driving me crazy.
"Yun Zheng" turned a deaf ear to it.
Run? Why run? Isn't it more fun this way?
Finally, they were blocked by the ghost guards in a remote alley.
A powerful restriction fell, trapping the two of them.
Xiaobai's face was tense. He protected Yun Zheng behind him and looked vigilantly at the ghost guards who were approaching step by step.
"Brother Yun Zheng, don't be afraid. I will protect you."
She was ready for a big fight.
However, Yun Zheng behind her suddenly moved.
Instead of dodging like before, he took a step forward.
“Tsk.”
A light sneer came from under the mask.
Under Xiaobai's astonished gaze, "Yun Zheng" moved.
His figure was as fast as a ghost, and it was even impossible to see his movements clearly.
All I could hear were a few muffled thuds and the sound of bones cracking.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The several powerful ghost guards who were so aggressive just now were instantly knocked away like rag dolls and hit the wall heavily, and their lives or deaths were unknown.
The whole process takes only a snap of the fingers.
Silence returned to the alley.
Xiaobai stared blankly at "Yun Zheng" who was standing there and clapping his hands, as if he was just brushing off the dust.
He turned around slowly, and his eyes hidden under the mask fell on Xiaobai with a cold, all-seeing scrutiny.
[You, you are not...]
Xiaobai's mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't speak.
The person in front of him was completely different from the gentle, protected "Brother Yun Zheng" he knew before.
"Yun Zheng" looked at her shocked little face and seemed very satisfied.
He took a step toward her.
Xiaobai subconsciously took a step back.
"hehe……"
A deep laugh escaped from beneath the mask, with undisguised malice and amusement.
"Sister Xiaobai, it seems that I have to go first."
His voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
"You yourself..."
He paused, glanced at the ghost guards around him who had been knocked down by him, and then looked at Xiaobai who was trapped by the restriction and had a dazed look on his face.
"Take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he actually penetrated the restriction that had trapped them just now, as easily as passing through a layer of water curtain.
Then, without looking back, he disappeared into the shadows at the alley entrance.
