Linglong Town (Thirteen)

At night, the full moon hangs high in the sky, as white as snow.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing and steady heartbeats could be heard. The bed curtains had fallen but were not put away. Clothes were scattered on the small table beside the couch, a mixture of blue, white and inky black.

Su Xuan looked at Sang Dai in his arms; she had fallen asleep long ago.

Sandy is very well behaved when she is asleep. Because her body is cold, she subconsciously craves warmth and curls up in Su Xuan's arms. The difference in their size also allows Su Xuan to wrap her completely in his arms.

They were not wearing any clothes. Su Xuan was holding naked Sang Dai. It was clear that the medicinal properties of the Heart-Resolving Grass had only been partially relieved. He used his spiritual power to suppress her estrus period, but at this moment he had no desire at all. He just wanted to hold her quietly.

Su Xuan kissed her forehead, but Sandy knew nothing.

He patted her back gently, his eyes calm.

He was not mistaken. Sandy was very frightened just now. Su Xuan had known Sandy for such a long time, but he had never seen Sandy break down and cry like that.

She seemed to have had a nightmare just now, and Su Xuan couldn't wake her up. Sang Dai covered her head with her hands, frowned, and moved her lips as if she was speaking. No matter how Su Xuan called her, she didn't respond.

Until Su Xuan also started to panic and wanted to use his spiritual power to explore her sea of ​​consciousness, but he was blocked outside by a strange yet familiar spiritual power. He could not enter Sandi's sea of ​​consciousness, and did not know what Sandi saw.

That spiritual power...

Su Xuan had seen it before; it was the seal of Weisheng's family.

The Weisheng family seal made Sandi see something. She was very scared and panicked. She held him tightly and cried for a long time before being coaxed to sleep by Su Xuan.

The little fox brushed away the hair of the person in his arms. Sandy's black hair was untied by him and now hung loosely. Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was not very restful even in her sleep.

Su Xuan placed his palm on her protruding shoulder blade, pursed his lips slightly, and tapped her even more gently, fearing that if he tapped her too hard he would hurt the swordsman.

She was too thin. Even though she gained some weight after coming to the demon world, she was still thin.

Su Xuan's chin gently rubbed Sang Dai's head and his tail wrapped around her waist.

Until the night was deep, the previous night passed and it was already a new day.

Sandy was awakened by the heat. She was being held by a heater, with the plush fox tail wrapped around her waist, so she naturally felt hot.

She struggled for a moment, carefully picked up the fox tail at her waist and was about to let go, but the fox tail wrapped around the swordsman's wrist and dragged her over.

The little fox hugged her slender waist and kissed her shoulders affectionately.

"Baby, what are you doing?"

Sandy retracted her neck and pressed her forehead against his throat. She could feel the little fox's Adam's apple rolling up and down.

She whispered, "Please put on some clothes."

Su Xuan refused: "No, I'm sleeping."

Sandy: "...How about wearing some underwear?"

Su Xuan said coquettishly: "No, hug me again."

The swordsman's body was smooth and tender everywhere. He liked her to the core and licked her like a fox cub, licking her all over her body.

Sandy felt a little itchy and was amused by him, so she laughed and shrank into the bed. Su Xuan took the opportunity to press over her.

"Have you... recovered from the poison of the Heart-Removing Grass?"

She pushed the little fox who was buried in her neck and kissed her.

Su Xuan kissed down, holding onto the soft and soul-stirring spot, with something in his mouth, his words became unclear.

"It's not completely eliminated. The remaining poison has been suppressed temporarily. The estrus period will come in a few days."

Sandy bent her legs slightly and her breathing became heavier: "Does it still hurt?"

Su Xuan kissed her and replied, "It's okay, you won't die, just let me kiss you."

"Will you feel better if I kiss you?"

"Um."

As expected, Sandy stopped moving.

Su Xuan smiled inwardly. His swordsman was too naive. She had been deceived by him many times, but she would still believe him next time. She was too soft-hearted and trusted him too much.

Su Xuan would never lie to her in other matters, except on this matter.

The kiss would hurt more, but it would make her feel better, and Sandy would like him more and be closer to him.

The little lunatic fox likes to hear Sandy's comfortable voice. He is no longer cold to him as before. He has more emotions and likes him more.

Sandy is so soft-hearted. If he goes back and coaxes her a little, she will definitely be his wife.

The little fox kissed her for a while, and felt that if he continued kissing he might go too far, so he lay down on his side and held her in his arms.

Sandy closed her eyes, with some faint tears on her long eyelashes. Su Xuan saw Sandy's thick eyelashes. She was beautiful everywhere, and every eyebrow and eye were perfect and impeccable.

Su Xuan kissed her eyes and asked softly, "Daidai, did I hurt you?"

Sandy froze and said nothing.

Su Xuan apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I'm inexperienced and not prepared for you. I won't be so reckless during the estrus period. In the future, you must tell me if it hurts, don't just bear it with your teeth."

He still remembered that she bit her lips tightly and refused to say anything. If it weren't for the fact that the hand that pinched Su Xuan's arm had not unconsciously exerted force, and if it weren't for the fact that he was in a dilemma, Su Xuan would have removed the barrier and seen that she was in pain. He was afraid that he would really do it to the end, and she would definitely feel bad.

The little fox felt very regretful and coaxed her in a low voice for a long time, apologizing all the time.

Sandy's ears were almost worn out by what she heard, and she just snuggled in his arms without saying a word.

It was very quiet outside. It was already late at night in Linglong Town. It would probably be dawn soon. She had to go to Manxiang Pavilion at midnight tonight.

"Daidai." Su Xuan suddenly spoke: "What did you see when you had the nightmare just now?"

Sandy's hands, which were around his waist, curled up slightly.

"Speak, don't be dumb, tell me, okay?"

Sang Dai lowered her eyes and just happened to see Su Xuan's heart.

The muscles there were tight and there were no bloody holes that would cause terrible bleeding.

Her fingertips touched his heart, and Sandy felt his strong and regular heartbeat.

She whispered, "I saw your destiny, Su Xuan. One hundred years after my death, you came to the back mountain of Jianzong and stood in front of my bamboo house. It was snowing heavily at the time. Shen Ciyu came behind you. I cried and shouted for you to leave, but you didn't move, and let Shen Ciyu pierce your heart."

"Then... the thunder from the sky shattered your soul, and you died."

Su Xuan remained silent, but his hands continued to pat Sang Dai's back.

He didn't seem to care at all, nor was he surprised, and remained calm from beginning to end.

"Su Xuan, what were the last words you said before you died? You said—"

Dai Dai, I love you very much.

These were words Su Xuan had never said to her before. It was not like, but love. It was an exceptionally solemn and serious confession.

Their eyes met, and Su Xuan could clearly see the fear in Sang Dai's eyes.

Sandy didn't know why she suddenly saw that incident. There was no mention of Su Xuan's confession in the book, and there were only a few cursory sentences about his ending. However, she saw his death with her own eyes and heard his confession with her own ears.

Because of this, Sandy was even more scared. Words were not enough to convey too many pictures. The impact that Sandy felt from the ending of the original book and the ending of Su Xuan that she saw with her own eyes was incomparable.

Su Xuan held her waist and whispered, "Daidai, have you ever thought about why you can see my destiny and why you can see your own destiny?"

Sandy narrowed her eyes slightly: "I think...it might be because of my seal."

Su Xuan kissed her forehead gently, "Yes, just now I wanted to explore your sea of ​​consciousness, and a spiritual barrier stopped me. That spiritual power was the seal of the Weisheng family contract. It was also the seal that awakened me to save you and changed the destiny of heaven."

Sandy didn't respond, her thoughts a little confused.

She became very different after waking up from that battle. The Weisheng Family Seal awakened Su Xuan, and her destiny was changed. The endings of her and Su Xuan were changed. She could even hear Su Xuan's voice. Just now, because of Su Xuan's words, the Weisheng Family Seal made her see a scene that she shouldn't have seen. After all, Sandy was already dead at that time.

Could it be that... the ability to hear Su Xuan's inner voice is also related to Wei Sheng's family seal?

Sandy didn't understand how such a ridiculous thing could happen, and why the Weisheng family seal had the ability to change fate.

Su Xuan saw that she was silent and knew that she was thinking about this matter. The little fox sighed and said, "Daidai, Weisheng's family will not harm you. We will take other things one step at a time. I will always be by your side. We will not end up in that situation."

Sandy raised her eyes to look at him.

In the past, the little fox always pretended to be indifferent, as if he really disliked Sandy. Sandy never understood why he came to Sword Sect to fight with her every few days if he obviously disliked her so much?

Until I heard his inner voice.

Her archenemy really likes her very much.

It seemed that the appearance of the mind reader was to prevent them from missing each other again. After she heard Su Xuan's thoughts, they have never been separated since then.

If she didn't read her mind, Su Xuan would continue to be stubborn because he was afraid of losing her. She would always refuse Su Xuan's approach, and they would still gradually drift apart.

But all that has changed.

Sandy hugged him, reached out to touch his cheek, gently stroked along his brow, and asked what she wanted to ask: "Su Xuan, I was very afraid that you would die just now. If I really died, would you really leave with me?"

Su Xuan's Adam's apple rolled, the little fox hugged her and kissed her eyebrows gently.

"Yes, if you die, I can't live either, so Dai Dai, you have to live well."

From the beginning to the end, Sandy's destiny was not just her own destiny. It was tied to the life of another person. If she really reached the end set by heaven, her life would end, and Su Xuan would not be able to survive.

Jian Xiu's nose was sour, he smiled and asked him: "Are you stupid?"

"I'm not stupid. I can't live without you." The little fox kissed the corner of the swordsman's lips, "Daidai, we still have thousands and thousands of years, we all have to survive."

Sandy raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips: "Well, I promise you."

She would live, she didn't want Su Xuan to die.

"I will go to Manxiang Pavilion in the ghost market tonight. Hualing said I will go alone."

Su Xuan didn't say anything and seemed to be in deep thought.

Sandy poked his face and said soothingly with a smile: "Are you worried about me?"

The little fox nodded: "Worried."

Before Sandy could reply, he continued, "But I also believe you. Dai Dai is very powerful. She can't kill you."

Sang Dai grabbed his silver hair and played with it, "Su Xuan, I will go into Manxiang Pavilion by myself, you..."

She raised her eyes and looked at Su Xuan, "Go find Wu Hanshu."

Su Xuan asked: "Do you still want to investigate him?"

"Look into what happened at the Heroes' Gathering." Sang Dai said, "I thought about it carefully. The Heroes' Gathering was held for a thousand years, but it was stopped for no reason three hundred years ago. My master, Wu Hanshu, my parents, and Master Tan Huai's parents all participated in that Heroes' Gathering. They have hardly seen each other since then. They are obviously good friends, but they avoid each other. Why is that?"

"Let's just take direct action this time. I think Wu Hanshu is working with the person behind the scenes, but he doesn't want to harm my master, so asking directly may help. I don't want to waste time with them anymore."

Su Xuan nodded: "It's indeed strange. I'm going to find Wu Hanshu to investigate the matter of the Heroes' Gathering. If you go to the Ghost Market alone...how about letting Tan Huai accompany you?"

Sandy smiled and said, "Master Tan Huai may not be available. He has his own things to do."

Su Xuan only needed to think about it for a moment to understand what Xiaosangdai meant.

He hugged Jian Xiu and asked, "If you go by yourself, can you handle it?"

Sandy nodded: "It's nothing more than a fight, but... I actually think Hua Ling has something to tell me. If I haven't come back in a day, you can come find me."

"Um."

The little fox kissed her forehead and gently stroked the swordsman's back with his hand.

"Put on the Nine-Handed Hairpin. If anything happens to you, I can find you immediately."

"good."

"If we find the Spring Shadow Sword, the sword spirit will be able to sense the master's location, and it will be easier for us to find Immortal Lord Ying Heng. Dai Dai, this will be over soon."

Sandy nestled in his arms, smelling the light scent of grass and wood on him, and feeling his hot body temperature lingering around her.

"Yes, Su Xuan."

It was not easy along the way. She had been looking for Ying Heng for nearly a hundred years, but had no clue where to find him. She had been looking for him for a hundred years with the thought that Ying Heng might really be dead.

Now, it seems that they are really going to meet, and she seems to be able to find Ying Heng.

We can find out what happened back then by finding Ying Heng.

They didn't know where the man behind the scenes was now. Since Shi Yao had cooperated with the man behind the scenes, what was she doing now? In short, it seemed like a lot of traps were waiting for Sandy to fall into.

Sandy tilted her head slightly, and the little fox closed his eyes, but continued to pat her back with his palm.

In the past, she investigated Ying Heng's affairs by herself, but a few months ago, he was now by her side.

No matter where they went, Su Xuan was with her.

Sandy pursed her lips and chuckled, reaching out her hand to cover his cheek. There were thin threads left on the swordsman's hands from sword practice, which felt a little itchy to the touch. Su Xuan smiled and opened his eyes.

"What's wrong, taking advantage of me?"

Su Xuan held her hand and rubbed his cheek against her palm gently.

Sandy laughed and asked, "You won't let me have it?"

Su Xuan felt soft in his heart. Sandy had really changed a lot compared to before. She used to live like a little old-fashioned. How could she say such witty words?

The little fox kissed her wrist and said, "Let me touch you, you can touch anywhere."

Sandy blushed and took her hand back, "No need."

Su Xuan turned over and pressed on her, whining and acting coquettishly: "Baby, can you kiss me for a while longer?"

"Isn't it the toxicity that's suppressing it?"

"It's not because of the toxicity, I just want to kiss you."

Sang Dai didn't say anything, because Su Xuan didn't let her speak either. He pressed Jian Xiu down and kissed him all over.

She was a little dazed, her neck slightly raised, sweat surfaced and was wiped away by him, her panting sound was very pleasant, at this time the swordsman was very obedient and very easy to be fooled.

The little fox kissed her soft spot and asked her, "Will you be with me?"

"……Um."

"Marry me?"

"……Um."

"Want to do it with me?"

"……Um."

"I'll do it with you after I marry you."

Su Xuan took a light bite and heard the swordsman's weak moan. She pushed his shoulder and said blankly, "It hurts."

The little fox quickly let go, picked her up and put her in his arms, holding the swordsman's waist and kissing her gently.

"Daidai, that's it. Tell me if it hurts, and tell me if you feel comfortable. I hope you are happy, and don't bear it for me."

Sandy leaned on his shoulder and sat in his arms, breathing heavily.

"……Um."

She noticed the little fox's hand moving down, and was about to stop him when she heard him whispering in her ear.

"Wash your hands and try again, okay? You should get used to it. My estrus will be very severe this year, and I'm afraid of hurting you."

"It's still early, Dede, will you stay with me?"

Sandy bit his shoulder, her body shaking. He placed a night-shining pearl on the couch, which just illuminated the swordsman's face.

Su Xuan turned his head to look at Sandai who was lying on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and her chest rose and fell rapidly. When he hit her hard, she would subconsciously raise her waist to hide, and when he hit her lightly, she would sob and tremble.

Very well behaved and innocent, very cute.

"Does it hurt?"

“…Don’t ask.”

"Dede, speak."

“…It doesn’t hurt.”

As long as it doesn’t hurt, that means I’m crying in comfort.

He figured out some rules, such as where would make the swordsman feel comfortable so that he could serve her better.

What kind of force will hurt her and should be avoided.

Su Xuan leaned over to kiss her lips, his hands moving non-stop, and Sang Dai's breathing was swallowed by him.

The arrogant and ruthless swordsman was dragged down to the mortal world by him. Su Xuan did not feel guilty at all, but was filled with joy.

It's too cold up there, and his Dai Dai shouldn't live alone up there.

When Sandy was enjoying extreme pleasure in his hands, she couldn't stop crying and her body was completely exhausted. She sat limp in his arms, with her two long thin legs wrapped around his waist, trembling.

Su Xuan laughed out loud, pulled over the shirt beside him and wiped his hands casually, and whispered: "Our Dai Dai is too pure, so sensitive."

Sandy wanted to refute him because he had too many tricks, but she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth. She could only glare at him fiercely.

"It's so pretty. She's so cute even when she stares at you."

His shameless look left Sandy speechless and she turned her head away.

Sandy could do nothing to him, as she could neither talk him into a fight nor hit him.

Su Xuan kissed her earlobe and said softly, "Daidai, I will take responsibility."

Sandy said nothing.

"I will be responsible for everything I do. As soon as you agree to get married, I will send an invitation to Liu Lixue to preside over the ceremony, and we will become citizens immediately."

Sandy's back of her head was facing him, but her eyes were fixed on the small shirt thrown inside.

He prepared everything for her from head to toe, even her underwear, and Su Xuan always took good care of her.

Sandy herself lived a muddled life, just getting by, but Su Xuan always treated her well and never neglected her at all. It seemed that he was making up for what the Sword Sect lacked from her.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Su Xuan.

There was still an obvious blush on her face, and tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes, which were the tears that Su Xuan had just forced out.

He wiped it off for her gently.

Sang Dai suddenly spoke up: "Su Xuan, I like you too."

Even though she doesn't like him as much as Su Xuan, Sandi likes him very much.

She touched his face, lingering on his features.

"I won't let you die. I will change everything. Su Xuan, you have to stay by my side. I will give you a satisfactory answer soon. The relationship between us will definitely be fair."

Su Xuan put her on the couch, turned over and kissed her red lips.

Sandy climbed onto his neck and kissed him back slightly.

His silver hair fell on his body and his ears stood on top of his head. Sandee grabbed them and rubbed them.

The little fox had difficulty breathing and sucked and bit her neck hard.

"Dade, give me an answer soon. My estrus period is really coming. I will die without you this year."

"……good."

"Baby, can you help me one more time?"

"…I want to sleep."

"It will only take a moment."

"……real?"

"Yes, really."

An hour later, Sandy kicked him.

She was always deceived by Su Xuan, but the next time he acted coquettishly, she would immediately believe him again. She was deceived over and over again.

The little fox happily hugged Sandy, and his tail wagged in the quilt, as if he wanted to wag his tail to pieces in front of her.

"Dede is so nice. Dede really loves me."

Sandy ignored him and whispered, "I'm going to sleep now. I have something to do at midnight tonight."

Su Xuan pecked her spine, then hugged Sandy from behind, with his tail resting under her head.

"Go to sleep. I'll stay with you."

Sandy falls asleep very quickly. When she feels safe, she relaxes her guard and her heart calms down very quickly.

Su Xuan wasn't sleepy at all.

In just one day, he and his swordsman had progressed to this point. They had completed everything they needed to do except the last step. Su Xuan had previously thought that he might not be able to get married this year, but now...

He glanced at the person in his arms.

I will definitely marry her this year because Dai Dai is so soft-hearted.

The little fox hugged the person in his arms tightly, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

If they find Immortal Lord Ying Heng, who is Sandy's only relative, the little fox will surely get Ying Heng's approval, and then they can propose marriage legitimately.

***

On the top of a high mountain, a full moon stands high in the sky. The terrain here is so high that it seems like you can touch the moon by raising your hand.

The shadows of the trees are swaying and the wind is blowing rapidly.

Standing on the top of the mountain on the outskirts of the city, you can overlook the entire Linglong Town. There are not many people in this small town.

There was a rustling sound from the grass behind him. The vines tried to touch his calves, but he kicked them away.

"Get lost! Don't touch me after I just ate someone."

The vine felt aggrieved, shook off its wet leaves, and burped.

The young man in black frowned: "Are you evil?"

vine:"……"

How can a vine like this be so disgusting!

The young man in black rolled his eyes at it and asked it, "Are you full?"

The vine nodded and shook its leaves for him to look.

There is still one last flower that has not bloomed.

There is only one left.

He sat down on the ground with his legs crossed. At the foot of the mountain was the Ghost Market, and in the distance was Linglongzhen. Neither of these two places was peaceful.

The vine stayed beside him, nudging him gently with its leaves.

"What?"

The vines gestured.

The young man in black raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do with Ying Heng?"

Ivy nodded.

The young man in black took a sip of wine and said, "As long as he doesn't die, it's fine. Let him do whatever he wants."

Tengman thought this man was really weird. He went to great lengths to save the person, but didn't save him to the end. He took the elixir and let a person who had lost all five senses choose for himself. He was not afraid of poisoning the person to death at all. It was as if everything he did was just because he wanted to do it, without asking for the reason and without seeking anything else. That was all.

The vine lay listlessly beside him, asking him when it could eat a few more of the Four Bitter Bodies.

The young man in black finished the last jug of wine. He was a little drunk, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked up at the full moon.

"Tonight, if you eat a few more of the four bitter things tonight, you will be able to bloom."

***

Sandy slept until the evening.

She woke up twice during the sleep, and after seeing Su Xuan still holding her and catching up on sleep, she didn't want to wake him up, so she fell asleep again.

It was not until the evening that she finally couldn't sleep anymore. She opened her eyes and thought about how to sneak out of Su Xuan's arms.

The little fox who was holding her and sleeping peacefully suddenly moved, held her face and kissed her.

Sandy blinked, then covered her mouth and said, "What are you doing?"

Su Xuan touched her hair: "Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"

"……Um."

Sandy glanced out the window. "It's already evening."

It has been a whole day since they came in yesterday and stayed in this room all day.

Su Xuan stood up and walked towards the bathroom carrying the person in his arms.

"Take a shower first. Does your body feel uncomfortable?"

Sandy lay lazily in his arms: "I'll wash it myself."

Su Xuan held her with one hand and tested the water temperature with the other.

"Not with me?"

"……No."

After not eating for a day, Su Xuan couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he smiled and put her in the hot spring.

"You wash first, I'll get your clothes for you."

Sandy didn't dare to look at him. She turned her head away and hid in the water: "...Yeah."

When the two of them finally packed up and came out, they saw a shiny head and a peacock in a gorgeous red dress as soon as they went downstairs.

Tan Huai was drinking a bowl of porridge. When he saw the two of them, he seemed to have thought of something and coughed softly.

"Well... Miss Sang must be tired. Let's eat first."

Sandy: “…”

Liu Lixue shook her fan and knocked on the empty seat beside her: "Sit down, aren't you tired after a day?"

Everyone could understand what was said. The little fox glanced at Sandy who was blushing beside him and unconsciously held her hand.

"Let's go and eat."

Sandy sat down under the gaze of two pairs of eyes. The marks on her body could be erased with spiritual power, and she slept well, so she looked no different from yesterday.

Liu Lixue and Tan Huai stared at her intently.

Sandy: "...Let's eat. It's getting cold."

Peacock whispered, "My Lord, when will we hold the unification ceremony? I will make it a grand ceremony and invite those blind people from the Immortal Realm to come and watch."

Tan Huai stepped forward and said, "I should be fine these days, so please ask the Demon King and Miss Sang to give me an invitation."

Su Xuan looked calm, lowered his head to pick up food for Sang Dai, and said calmly, "Shut up and eat."

Liu Lixue glanced at Sang Dai who was drinking tea crazily and Su Xuan who was peeling shrimps quietly, and her beautiful eyes narrowed.

"You can't ask too much, my Lord. Don't you intend to take responsibility? Maybe Miss Sang has already had little fox cubs."

The tea that Sang Dai had just drunk suddenly got stuck in her throat. She covered her mouth and coughed softly. Su Xuan hurriedly helped her to calm down.

"Did you get bitten? Does it hurt?"

After saying that, he glared at Liu Lixue fiercely and said, "Shut up, my Lord."

Kong Que felt wronged: "No... Didn't you always say you wanted to marry Miss Sang? Now that we are husband and wife, you should be responsible."

Sandy stopped coughing and explained in a low voice: "No...we didn't..."

"Well, nothing?"

Liu Lixue blinked.

Tan Huai eavesdropped quietly.

Sandy: “…”

What to say?

You said that if you don't make it to the end, there can't be little fox cubs?

But how can I say it at this time?

Su Xuan interrupted coldly: "Eat, and then go get things done."

Liu Lixue raised her eyebrows and swallowed the words she had yet to say.

That's right, there is still business to be done.

They were able to eat the meal in peace and quiet. Since Sang Dai ate slowly, Tan Suxuan and the other two also slowed down. By the time they finished eating, it was already dark.

Su Xuan wiped his mouth and said slowly: "I went to the City Lord's Mansion to find Wu Hanshu. The owner of Manxiang Pavilion said that only Daidai is allowed to go to Manxiang Pavilion. Liu Lixue, you——"

He glanced at Peacock's pale face, pursed his lips, and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere else."

Liu Lixue: “?”

"My Lord—"

"Tan Huai, where are you going?"

Su Xuan didn't have time to argue with Liu Lixue. He looked at Tan Huai with a faint gaze and asked him in a deep voice.

Tan Huai put down the bowl, put his hands together and performed a polite Buddhist salute, and responded in a gentle voice: "I still have my own things to do, I hope you will forgive me."

Liu Lixue didn't know what exactly happened in the ghost market, but Su Xuan and Sang Dai knew what he meant.

Both of them looked calm.

"Yeah, okay."

Liu Lixue looked at Tan Huai in confusion, but the monk stood up.

"The poor monk still has something to do, so he will go ahead."

Su Xuan and Sang Dai responded in unison: "Okay."

Seeing Tan Huai leave, Liu Lixue asked in surprise, "This matter of high-level monsters capturing independent cultivators is the business of the Zen sect, right? Why doesn't he follow you to investigate? What is it that must be done at this time?"

Sang Dai smiled and asked, "How do you know, Master Liu, that what Master Tan Huai is busy with has nothing to do with this high-level monster?"

Liu Lixue was stunned.

He really didn't know that the disappearance of the Linglongzhen cultivators was related to the person behind the scenes. It was that person who captured these people with vines. The sudden improvement of Linglongzhen City Lord Wu Hanshu's cultivation must be related to this incident. He practiced the Guxin Dao. If it weren't for his Guxin Dao, there wouldn't be so many wandering cultivators entering the city.

Now the Spring Shadow Sword appeared in the Ghost Market, but the only person who knew Ying Heng's whereabouts should be the man in black behind the scenes, so he thought that the man in black deliberately led Sandy to the Ghost Market.

Liu Lixue felt that this matter could only be tackled from two parties, Wu Hanshu and Guishi.

But Tan Huai chose the third way and did not go to either side.

Liu Lixue frowned, but her Lord and his wife seemed quite calm and even started chatting.

Seeing how nonchalant both of them were, Liu Lixue could only suppress her emotions.

He glanced outside the door and saw that the night was growing darker.

When it was almost midnight, Sang Dai and Su Xuan got up and walked out of the inn.

There were not many people on the street, and the little fox glanced at his swordsman.

He had a long sword tied around his wrist, the Zhiyu Sword on his waist, a nine-string hairpin on his head, and his Qiankun bag was filled with many life-saving elixirs. He was fully prepared.

He leaned over and hugged Sandy: "Dade, if you have any problems, just come out. Don't be so stubborn."

"Okay." Sandy hugged his shoulders, "If I don't come back within a day, you will go find me, okay?"

Su Xuan rubbed her cheek and kissed the swordsman's earlobe.

"Okay, I'll make a note of that."

He watched Sandy teleport away to the ghost market.

Su Xuan withdrew his gaze and went towards Wu Hanshu's City Lord's Mansion.

They didn't plan to investigate secretly. Perhaps sometimes force was the key to solving a problem. If Wu Hanshu didn't tell them, they would just beat him up.

Sandy came all the way to the outside of the ghost market, where miasma was still everywhere, but she was not a demon, so the medicinal properties of the heart-relieving grass had no effect on her.

She picked up the sword and walked towards the ghost market.

The ghost market is a gloomy area, and there is no curfew here. The ghost market that Sandy had been to was very lively and crowded even in the second half of the night.

But tonight, the ghost market in Linglongzhen is quiet and silent.

The closer we got to Manxiang Pavilion, the more severe the eerie atmosphere became.

The long spike on her wrist hung behind her. Zhiyu sensed something and it kept buzzing.

Sandy stopped in front of the door of Manxiang Pavilion.

The seven-story attic is the only light in the dim ghost market. Dozens of lanterns are hung on the building. In this dark ghost market, it is too eye-catching and too weird.

Sandy looked calm.
