"Then I won't do it." Fang Ruotang tossed her head and walked away haughtily.
She really didn't lie about this.
It was just that I suddenly realized that only Rong Xing and Gu Nancheng couldn't talk to the little mirror. If something happened in the bamboo forest, these two wouldn't have any way to ask for help.
She thought she would deal with it quickly and take the two men in first, then take in Rong Xing and then Gu Nancheng. After all, there were four other men besides Rong Xing, and she was too embarrassed to make a scene. Wouldn't that mean everyone would know what she was up to?
However, Rong Xing did not cooperate at all.
Stealing from someone is quite difficult.
Fang Ruotang wanted to target Gu Nancheng again, but seeing his grinning face, she felt that he would excitedly shout out as soon as she brought it up.
Then everyone knew.
Thinking of that scene, Fang Ruotang was completely dumbfounded, and he returned to Beiliang without hesitation.
They had already notified Gu Yanjin on the way, so when they arrived, Gu Yanjin was already waiting there. Unlike Ye Wuxia and the others, he didn't have many thoughts about Fang Ruotang leaving him to run errands for two days. He just felt sorry for her having to travel so much.
Are you tired?
"Not tired! It's great."
Fang Ruotang stretched out her fist with one hand, trying her best to let Gu Yanjin see the muscles underneath her slender arm. Unfortunately, it was too thin and was covered by her clothes, so nothing could be seen at all.
"It's good that you're not tired. Shall we go now, or rest for a day?" Gu Yanjin had anticipated Fang Ruotang's thoughts. Everything was prepared, and the matters that needed to be discussed with General Gao had all been resolved. He was ready to go with Fang Ruotang at any time.
"Now! I can't wait!" Fang Ruotang said eagerly.
If it weren't for her fourth sister and the others being so incompetent and insisting on going along, she would have actually planned to go alone, leaving the spirit boat behind and letting her eldest brother-in-law lead the others to deal with the remaining monsters.
It's pretty much the same now; all the monsters on their continent have been dealt with, and the passage has been temporarily sealed off.
Little Mirror said that once she recovers a bit more, she can come back and seal off those passages, so that those monsters will never be able to appear and harm people again.
Fang Ruotang rushed ahead, but just as she was about to step into the bamboo forest, Gu Yanjin pulled her back and whispered, "Walk behind me."
Fang Ruotang blinked, and without any courtesy, grabbed the person with one hand and tossed them backward.
"You should be walking at the back!"
Gu Yanjin's mind went blank for a moment.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
He's never been this embarrassed in his entire life.
Fang Shengtang teased with a smile, "Gu Yanjin, you're not His Highness the Crown Prince anymore, you're our Sixth Prince's little husband, so you'd better just obediently follow behind her!"
The other five people, who had originally wanted to step forward, now obediently followed behind Fang Ruotang. The Crown Prince had already lost face, and they couldn't afford to lose face too.
Gu Yanjin raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly. He walked behind Fang Ruotang expressionlessly and explained in a low voice, "I was worried about you."
"No need, I'm much better than you." Fang Ruotang rolled her eyes, thinking that Gu Yanjin couldn't distinguish between the two kings, but she also knew his intentions. She patted his chest and said, "Taking care of yourself is helping me."
Gu Yanjin twitched his fingers, wanting to move Fang Ruotang's head a little, but seeing her current superior demeanor, he felt that if he dared to make a move and ruin her act, he would definitely get beaten up.
Seeing that Gu Yanjin did not go back on his word, Fang Ruotang nodded with satisfaction and then said to the others, "Everyone stay close. Fourth Sister, you all stand in the middle and don't wander off!"
“Okay! Xiao Liu, don’t worry about us, we’ll be fine,” Fang Wantang replied immediately.
Cheng Xiaocheng, Wei Xuan, and the others all said at roughly the same time that they would behave themselves and not hold others back.
Fang Ruotang was the first to walk in, and she didn't feel anything.
She stepped back.
Everyone stared at her nervously.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Fang Ruotang shook her head, "No! I just didn't feel anything, so I went in again to see if it was just my imagination."
Everyone was speechless, but no one dared to say anything to her.
Fang Shengtang, her delicate face tense, sighed and gently scolded, "Stop playing around. The atmosphere is so tense; are you trying to scare us to death?"
"Hey, no way! Look, all the monsters coming out of here are low-level demons, so there's obviously not much danger. There might be some demonic energy in there, but I haven't sensed any!"
"Demonic energy won't harm you; it can even be used to your advantage." The little mirror provided the answer at the opportune moment.
Fang Ruotang made a few "oh oh oh" sounds, her face almost beaming with laughter.
Haha, am I really that amazing?
Yes, Your Excellency is the most powerful being in the world.
I think so too.
The two, one the host and the other the instrument, spoke in a cheerful tone, which unconsciously put everyone at ease. They slowly followed Fang Ruotang into the bamboo forest, but what they found was not what Fang Ruotang had said.
They felt the air around them suddenly become very viscous, as if it wanted to stick tightly to their skin and penetrate their bodies.
However, Yu Sheng and the other six felt similarly to Fang Ruotang; the murky air inside did not affect them.
Seeing that they were alright, the others could hold on as well.
Guided by the small mirror, Fang Ruotang and her group continued walking forward.
The Guiding Lands are bordered by the Misty Forest, but fortunately, our location only connects to the outer edge of the Guiding Lands, so no high-level monsters come here.
[These two names don't sound like good places to me.]
[It's nothing special. Many disciples from the Cloud Deep Continent come to these two places to kill demons and improve their cultivation. The Misty Forest has many exotic flowers and herbs that emit hallucinogenic poisonous gas. Moreover, the forest is always shrouded in a thin layer of white mist. Although it doesn't completely obscure the view, it veils the entire forest in a light mist, hence the name Misty Forest.]
Everyone else overheard Fang Ruotang's conversation with Xiao Jingzi.
As soon as the group left the Demon Gathering Land and arrived at the Misty Forest, they saw a woman stumbling and running forward. Fang Ruotang chased after her without thinking.
The others naturally followed suit and started running.
"Get out! If you dare follow me again, I'll kill you all!" the woman shouted at the crowd, her face flushed as she glared at them, struggling to hold a sword and pointing it at Fang Ruotang and her group.
Fang Ruotang blinked, a little unhappy, and pouted: "You're such a rude girl. We're just passing by, and you start cursing at us like that."
The woman gave a cold laugh, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
"You've been following me all this way, and you're saying you were just passing by? Hmph! A few Qi Refining stage trash like you think you can kill me? I'll kill you first."
