Leng Qingning immediately covered her mouth in surprise. Seeing the man's hunched expression, she felt as if she had gotten into big trouble, and took small steps to slip away.
Yan Ci gritted his teeth and grabbed her collar and said, "You want to sneak away after getting into trouble? No way. You stupid woman, you hit me so hard. You almost ruined my happiness for the rest of my life."
Yan Ci's words immediately made her cheeks flush with shame. Leng Qingning quickly coughed to hide her embarrassment. She didn't know that the person behind her was him. Who made this guy so scary just now?
"Why did you follow me? Weren't you sleeping in the house just now?" Could it be that this guy still cared about her? She immediately rejected this idea. This guy must have followed her secretly because he was afraid that she would get him into trouble and his life would be in danger.
This is good, she now has an extra bodyguard and doesn't have to worry about her life.
"Why do you mind me? I do whatever I want." He didn't want to care at first, but when he thought about how stupid this stupid woman was and how poor her cultivation was, if something happened, wouldn't he, the wise and mighty demon king, be buried with her?
Yan Ci had recovered and was hugging his arms again, returning to his previous nonchalant look, with no trace of his previous embarrassment.
"Okay, since you're here, let's go together."
With Yan Ci there, the two of them easily passed the patrolling guards and found the city lord's room. At this moment, a strong demonic aura emanated from the room.
The two looked at each other, and a bad look suddenly appeared in their eyes.
"Oh no, a demon has sneaked in"
Leng Qingning was about to rush over to help, but was stopped by Yan Ci. What on earth was wrong with this guy? Why was he stopping her at this time?
"Why are you stopping me? What if the city lord is killed by a monster?"
Yan Ci looked at her meaningfully, still trying to stop her, and said, "Really? Why do I feel like the City Lord doesn't look like he's in any danger at all? Take a closer look. Are you sure you want to save him?"
Leng Qingning stopped immediately. This guy was right. She was indeed a little impulsive just now. It would be better not to act rashly before finding out the truth of the matter.
"Dongfang Ao, I'm going to kill you, you bastard!"
A female voice filled with hatred came from the room. Strangely, the guards patrolling outside the room seemed not to hear the voice and walked away.
Yan Ci explained: "I have set up a formation here, so they can't hear it."
So that's how it is. What surprised her even more was that Dongfang Ao actually knew magic and his cultivation was quite high.
"You monster finally showed up. You were lucky to escape that day. Today, I will not let you go no matter what!" The powerful voice sounded very familiar. It was the city lord whom they rescued from the wild cats not long ago.
There were two figures in the house fighting fiercely. Both the man and the demon were very skilled, especially the old man, who was agile and powerful. I'm afraid that Yan Ci would not be able to get the upper hand in his hands now. He didn't look like he was half buried in the ground.
Suddenly, Dongfang Ao covered his face and screamed, and saw the banshee's body being quietly thrown out of the door. The beautiful banshee covered her chest and spit out large mouthfuls of blood.
When she saw Leng Qingning and the other person, she was stunned at first, then she turned into a pure white cat, climbed up the high city wall and disappeared into the night.
Yan Ci immediately chased in the direction the cat demon fled, "Hey, why don't you wait for me!" Leng Qingning, who was left behind, was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and looked up at the air.
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard, and Yan Ci, who was supposed to be chasing the cat demon, was rubbing his body in pain, looking at her with rather resentful eyes.
It was all because of this damn contract. He was so anxious to chase the cat demon that he didn't think too much and forgot to bring this woman with him. Unexpectedly, the strange feeling of spiritual energy failure would happen again. If he wasn't thick-skinned, he would have broken his bones long ago.
Leng Qingning knew the mechanism of the system. Yan Ci's behavior just now was assumed by the system to be an act of abandoning his master, so his spiritual power was temporarily ineffective. Yan Ci's gaze made her feel a little guilty.
"Who's over there?" Dongfang Ao was startled by the unusual situation here and was approaching this side step by step. Yan Ci was brewing demonic power in his palms and preparing to take action.
"Meow~"
A black cat suddenly emerged from the corner of the wall, glanced at Dongfang Ao with a sarcastic look, climbed up to the roof along the pillar with a nimble body, and ran away under Dongfang Ao's nose.
Dongfang Ao cursed angrily with a bloody face, "It's that damn stinky cat again. It's really endless!"
"Did you notice when this cat arrived?"
Yan Ci looked at her strangely, "Wasn't it squatting next to you just now? Didn't you see it?" He clearly saw that when the stupid woman Leng Qingning almost sat on the black cat's face, the black cat quickly retreated and turned towards her with a look of disgust.
Okay, she really didn't see this guy, let alone see him rolling his eyes at her, but why would this black cat help them?
Dongfang Ao, with his face scratched and bloody, looked sinisterly in the direction where the black cat left. When he saw the bloodstain left by the banshee on the ground, his expression became extremely cold.
"Damn that bitch! She's lucky she got away again!"
"I am late, please spare my life, Lord City Lord." The patrolling guards arrived late. When they saw Dongfang Ao's gloomy expression, they were so scared that they begged for mercy.
"How did you guys do things? Why did you take so long to come? That cat demon has already run away!"
The guards were about to kneel down and beg for mercy when the sound of fierce fighting here attracted the attention of Ye Qingzhu and others. They rushed out of the room with their magic swords and rushed over here.
Hearing the hurried footsteps, Dongfang Ao's face changed. He absolutely couldn't be exposed at this moment. He immediately raised his hand and slapped himself, spurting blood from his mouth. He staggered to the ground, breathing very weakly.
"Tsk tsk, this Dongfang Ao is such a ruthless man, how could he be so cruel to me?" Leng Qingning watched Dongfang Ao acting and subconsciously touched her chest.
"Lord Dongfang, what happened to you? Why are you so badly injured?" When the five people who rushed over saw the old man lying on the ground and spitting blood, they were suddenly shocked.
Ye Qingzhu and Lu Yan supported the old man on both sides and helped him up. Bai Xichen took out a pill and put it into his mouth.
The pill quickly melted in Dongfang Ao's mouth, and the old man's face looked much better.
She and Yan Ci pretended to come out from the corner, feigning ignorance and exclaiming, "Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Bai, what happened to the Lord of Dongfang City? Why is he so badly injured?"
I have to find an opportunity to tell them what I just saw, so that these guys won't be fooled by this cunning old man.
