"Impossible! How could this be!"
The man in the Taoist robe was completely stunned.
Mo Yunhan seized the opportunity and cleaved out a palm strike with his inner energy.
At the same time, a sharp whooshing sound came from the air.
Dozens of iron needles shot straight at this side.
Mo Yunhan was worried about Jiang Qingwan, so he could only withdraw his palm and retreat.
A mechanical bird, about the size of a palm, floated in mid-air, its base a rotating thousand-hole lock.
"gentlemen!"
The crowd at the entrance knelt down and shouted.
A man in a blue robe emerged wearing a crimson fang mask.
Jiang Qingwan had already broken through the feng shui formation with talismans. She turned around and grabbed Mo Yunhan's hand, "Let's go."
But then they saw the mechanical bird, and the vine gourd hanging from the waist of the masked man standing in front of the crowd.
She was completely stunned.
Mo Yunhan had already heard her command, and carrying her, he quickly climbed the earthen wall on the east side and disappeared outside the wall in the blink of an eye.
"Go after them!"
The man in the Taoist robe shouted angrily.
"No need, let them go."
The man in the blue robe slowly turned around and watched the departing figure until it was no longer visible, without removing his mask.
The Taoist-robed man standing to the side stomped his feet in anger.
"Sir, they ruined my treasure! I want them to be my slaves, and that woman too, I want her..."
"Smack!"
A slap without warning.
The Taoist robe-clad man with the fan spun around several times before stopping, half of his face was red and swollen, and he had even lost a tooth.
"Sir...?"
"You dare mention her? If there's a next time, I'll turn you into a dried-up corpse."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, his voice drifting back leisurely.
"At midnight tonight, slaughter the city gates!"
The others were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe and knelt down in unison.
"yes!"
The man in the Taoist robe felt uneasy.
This was the first time he had ever seen his master so angry.
But he couldn't tell whether it was because of the woman or the man.
Jiang Qingwan remained silent throughout the journey.
As soon as the two arrived at the council hall, they saw a group of villagers blocking the way outside, some holding eggs and others holding smoked meat, all craning their necks in anticipation.
"The fairy maiden has arrived."
Someone shouted, and everyone rushed over in unison.
Mo Yunhan immediately stepped in front of him. His aura was already strong, and coupled with the fact that Jiang Qingwan's expression had been unpleasant the whole way, he assumed she was feeling unwell. At this moment, his handsome face became even more murderous.
It's as if they'd snap anyone who dared to get close.
Dongzi held up two large geese and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Fairy, fairy, please grant me a child. I will do anything you ask."
When the others saw him like this, they all knelt down as well.
"Please, fairy, grant my family a child."
"And my family, please beg the fairy godmother."
"We are willing to build a shrine to worship the fairy maiden."
"Yes, yes, we are willing to make offerings to the fairy."
Jiang Qingwan walked out from behind Mo Yunhan.
Looking at everyone, his gaze was unusually calm.
There was a hint of pity and guilt in his calm.
After a long while, he said, "You should go back first. Before you leave, I will break the feng shui formation of Qingfeng Village and give you your freedom."
No one understood her last sentence, so Dongzi hurriedly asked,
"Does that mean we can all have children in the future?"
Jiang Qingwan nodded. "I don't know how to cure diseases. As long as you are healthy, that's fine."
Everyone was overjoyed and kowtowed in gratitude.
Then someone remembered what the street chief had said.
“Fairy, the street chief’s house has a stone statue with a ghost face, which is said to suppress evil spirits. Please remove it as well.”
The stone statue flashed through Jiang Qingwan's mind again.
She still couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
However, there was one thing she was certain of.
"There are no evil spirits in Qingfeng Village, and the feng shui has nothing to do with that stone."
After dispersing the villagers, Jiang Qingwan entered the courtyard and went straight back to her room.
Lian'er carried Xiao Hong over, but was blocked outside.
Xiao Hong could keenly sense her emotions, so she jumped down from Lian'er's arms, squatted at the door, and made low whimpering sounds.
Lian'er, worried, curtsied to Mo Yunhan.
"Your Highness, what happened to my young lady? She looks so pale. Is she injured?"
Mo Yunhan felt something was off.
"I will go in and take a look."
Just as he was about to push the door open, Xiao Hong suddenly let out a low, warning growl, her teeth bared.
It was clear that he wasn't allowed to go in.
"Didn't you make peace with me? Why do you still want to fight?"
Xiao Hong still refused.
Qin Minglang, standing not far away, said sarcastically, "What's wrong with Your Highness, Ninth Prince? You can't even get through the door? Should I knock and plead for you? After all, in the past..."
Mo Yunhan looked down at Xiao Hong.
As if she truly understood, Little Red leaped away and slapped her twice with her claws.
Now, Qin Minglang's face was covered in claw marks, with not a single patch of good skin left.
Qin Minglang was furious and about to lash out when Xiao Hong had already jumped steadily into Mo Yunhan's arms.
He proudly raised his head, giving off a sense of being a bully who borrows the tiger's power.
"Your Highness, are you just going to let this thing attack me? Or are you going to use a beast to kill me?"
Mo Yunhan raised his hand and touched the fox's head.
"Why would I need to use it to kill you? General Qin, why bother with a fox? It makes you seem very ungentlemanly."
Qin Minglang was furious, pointing at his battered face.
"I lack manners? I will never let this matter go."
At that moment, the door opened.
Jiang Qingwan stood at the door with a blank expression.
