“Okay!” Zhengzheng nodded quickly.
After Ye Xianya set up the barrier, she was about to go in when she suddenly remembered Qi Chengshuo standing next to her: "Why don't you go wait for us at Aunt Hong's place first?"
"I'll go with you. Even if it's a demon inside, I'm capable of fighting it. Don't worry," Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.
"Do you still have the jade pendant I gave you a few days ago for protection?" Ye Xianya asked.
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengshuo quickly pulled open the cloak he was wearing, revealing the jade pendant hanging at his waist.
“Let’s go together then!” Ye Xianya nodded.
Zhengzheng, who was standing on her shoulder, glanced at Qi Chengshuo with a wary look.
Don't think it doesn't know; this person is trying to steal its sister.
Although there is a first-come, first-served principle in everything, Qi Chengshuo knew his sister first, but... his sister clearly liked it more.
"Zhengzheng!" Qi Chengshuo laughed, "I heard from Xianya that you especially like the wine from Zuixianlou. I had someone buy more than a dozen jars of the best wine from Zuixianlou and sent them to the Ye family. They're placed at the door of Xianya's room. You can drink them slowly when you get back."
"Well... thank you very much!" Zhengzheng said somewhat awkwardly.
Although this person was quite annoying and always liked to follow them, they turned a blind eye to him because he bought them good wine.
The two people and the beast simply scaled the wall and went inside.
In the courtyard, a young woman wearing a light red jacket was drawing water from the well, braving the wind and snow.
The man inside the house was sitting by the brazier reading a book.
"Yunniang, I'm a little thirsty. Is the tea ready?" The man placed his cold hands over the brazier, rubbing them together to warm them, and called out towards the door.
"Please wait a moment, young master. I just finished fetching water, it will be ready in a little while." The young woman called Yunniang said as she carried the small bucket to the eaves, poured some water into the small red clay jar, and then carried the jar into the house.
There was a stove in the room. Yunniang placed the small red clay pot on the stove, took out a fan from the side, and gently fanned it, hoping to make the fire burn brighter so that she could boil the water sooner and make tea for the young master.
She didn't seem to feel cold, and she worked quickly and efficiently.
"Come here!" The man beckoned to Yunniang.
Yunniang quickly put down her fan and walked over. As soon as she reached the young man, he pulled her into his arms.
"Young Master!" Yunniang called out timidly.
The man touched Yunniang's soft and warm little hands and said with a smile, "You are really different from others. In such cold weather, you have been busy outside for so long, and your little hands are still so soft and warm."
"Let me feel you, young master. Is your other parts as hot as if they're on fire?" the man said, as he reached his hand inside Yunniang's clothes.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xianya, who was standing outside the window, quickly reached out and pressed down on Zhengzheng's head.
These inappropriate scenes for children could not be allowed to be watched by Zhengzheng any longer.
The two people inside were like dry tinder, ready to ignite at any moment. Qi Chengshuo and Ye Xianya exchanged a glance and felt extremely embarrassed.
Without saying a word, Ye Xianya stepped forward and kicked the door open.
Qi Chengshuo "..."
"Who goes there?" The man quickly got off Yunniang and closed his clothes.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Yunniang's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by gentleness.
Ye Xianya went straight into the house.
She looked at the young man in front of her and Yunniang, who was tidying her clothes, and quickly understood everything after a quick calculation.
"You...you young lady, what are you trying to do by trespassing on private property?" the young man asked, blushing as he looked at Ye Xianya.
He thought that the maid Yunniang he bought on the road was already quite beautiful, but he didn't expect that the little girl who barged in now was an even more rare beauty. Although she was a bit young, her face was exceptionally delicate.
Could it be that his luck is extraordinary, not only did he buy a very capable maid who can also warm his bed, but a young girl also wants to throw herself into his arms?
That's not impossible.
After all, he was already handsome and dashing, and he had passed the imperial examination. If he could become a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) next year, he would rise to great heights.
When he left his hometown, many of the local gentry who had previously looked down on him were eager to marry their daughters to him, but unfortunately... those ladies were all plain-looking, and he didn't like any of them.
Once he passes the imperial examination, will he still have trouble marrying a beautiful and noble lady?
After Ye Xianya saw through his disgusting thoughts, she didn't say a word, but raised her hand and slapped the bastard across the air, knocking him to the ground.
“Bird spirit, this man is so disgusting. I'll allow you to eat him first, and then we can talk slowly, how about it?” Ye Xianya sat down on a chair and asked with a smile.
Qi Chengshuo didn't know why Ye Xianya had sent the man flying from a distance, but judging from her actions, he knew that the man was no good. So he kicked him again, sending him into a corner.
The man curled up in pain, staring at Ye Xianya and the others, especially Yunniang, with a look of horror on his face!
Bird spirit?
Was Yunniang bought by him?
Yunniang was taken aback by Ye Xianya's words and her eyes widened in surprise. After a moment, she said, "You...you're a demon hunter?"
The Great Yan Dynasty had many Taoists, some of whom were highly skilled. They often traveled in groups of three or five to the Jiyuan Kingdom, calling themselves demon hunters and specializing in killing demons.
Of course, many of these people were also killed by powerful monsters.
When Yunniang traveled from Jiyuan Kingdom across mountains and valleys to the Great Yan Dynasty, she encountered a demon hunter. Fortunately, the emperor sent someone to help her stop the powerful demon hunter. In addition, she carried a treasure that could hide her demonic aura; otherwise, she would not have been able to reach the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty smoothly.
But she never expected that this seemingly young girl, who hadn't even reached marriageable age yet, would expose her true identity.
If she had known this would happen, she should have rushed to the palace to see the princess and delivered the letter the emperor had asked her to give to the princess, instead of spending several days here being all lovey-dovey with a man and neglecting her important business.
"A demon hunter!" Ye Xianya smiled and shook her head: "I'm just an ordinary person, you don't need to be nervous."
Yunniang looked at Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo, as well as the little golden eagle perched on Ye Xianya's shoulder, her face pale.
The two demon hunters, even though they were both young, looked quite formidable; she estimated she was no match for them.
Moreover, the woman had a spirit beast perched on her shoulder, which made things a bit tricky.
Yunniang suddenly transformed into her true form and flew outwards, but was blocked by the barrier and couldn't fly out of the courtyard at all.
She fell from the sky, and after transforming into human form, she sat on the ground in a somewhat disheveled state.
She had only heard of demon hunters who could set up barriers from their own kind; this was the first time she had encountered one.
Yunniang was extremely frustrated.
She will likely face certain death today.
