Chapter 5: Charm Demon
Suddenly, thick smoke seeped in from the cracks in the door, appearing dark purple and a strange color.
It seems that the monster here is a ghost.
There are four types of monsters: puppets, spirits, ghosts, and evil spirits.
Puppets are the lowest level of monsters. They have not yet taken human form, are good at manipulation, and often live in groups.
Charms and spirits are mid-level or high-level monsters. Charms are usually extremely beautiful and their main function is to bewitch people, while spirits are usually powerful and their main function is to rule by violence.
The most difficult to deal with are evil beings. When they appear, all life is destroyed and everything is reduced to ruin. In this world, there are only two evil beings. One died in the first year of Yongning, and the other has never been seen by anyone, or rather, everyone who has seen him is dead.
There are also different levels of charms. The demonic auras emitted by ordinary charms are mostly purple and red. The most evil of the charms are those that emit turquoise, but they are very rare to encounter.
Li Yuanying had long known that there was something wrong with the Hehe Inn, so she didn't expect to have a good night's sleep today, but she didn't expect Qilang to tie her to the bed and prevent her from moving.
There was a sound of heavy footsteps in the corridor.
Boom, boom, boom.
As if demanding his life, he walked towards Li Yuanying's room step by step.
The cold symptoms worsened further, and Li Yuanying gradually lost consciousness in her abdomen. She exhaled cold air and trembled all over, as if she was in the bitter winter.
She held her breath, trying not to let the demon notice her.
Under the cover of night, a man and a demon, one bright and one dark, the mystery of life and death is still before our eyes.
Suddenly, everything was quiet, with only the faintest breath of Li Yuanying remaining.
Then there was a loud bang, the evil spirit broke through the door, and Li Yuanyinghua was terrified.
She thought to herself that this demon must have discovered her. But she could do nothing but sit and wait for death.
A sharp, evil wind blew past, and the room was filled with the smell of rouge and powder. Because the smell was too strong, Li Yuanying couldn't help coughing.
Suddenly, a charming woman poked her head in. Her black hair was as long as silk and dragged on the ground for ten meters. Her eyes were golden and looked like precious treasures. Although she looked like a human, her appearance was strange. Although she was beautiful, her behavior was creepy.
"What a beautiful face." The demon chuckled and walked over slowly.
This swaying figure can indeed bring about springtime beauty.
"I really want your face." The charmer approached Li Yuanying. She stretched out her slender hand with nails that were half a foot long.
Just when the demon touched Li Yuanying's face, the binding technique on Li Yuanying's body suddenly boiled, the ghost figure became restless, and turned into a ball of black liquid that sprayed towards the demon.
Then, the demon screamed, and a thick smoke came out from her hand, and the room was immediately filled with the stench of rotting flesh.
"Damn it! What is this thing!" the demon cursed viciously.
She frantically wiped the black water off her hands, and then her face turned pale. She looked at Li Yuanying in horror, retreated step by step, almost crawled out of the room, and ran away.
Li Yuanying was wondering about this when a dark shadow broke in through the window.
As soon as the shadow landed, it hurried to Li Yuanying's side. Only then did Li Yuanying see the man's face clearly. After not seeing him for several years, he looked so dignified, upright, and elegant.
Zhang Qingchen.
"Senior brother?" Li Yuanying was a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet her senior brother here.
The Zhang family is the most renowned sword-master family in Kyushu. Li Yuanying has been a disciple of Master Zhang since childhood, training with Zhang Qingchen. However, when the Li family was needed to defend Yaoshui Town, the Zhang family was left behind in the Yuanming Realm to protect the emperor, and the two were separated.
"Wanwan, are you hurt?" Zhang Qingchen's face was full of worry, and he carefully checked Li Yuanying.
Wanwan is Li Yuanying's nickname. Apart from her mother, only her senior brother calls her that.
She had always treated Zhang Qingchen as her own brother. Hearing him call her that, Li Yuanying's eyes actually became moist. She hadn't felt the care of her family for a long time.
Since her mother's death, Zhang Qingchen is probably the only person who truly cares about her.
"I'm fine. Senior Brother, shouldn't you be guarding the Ming Guard right now?" Li Yuanying's binding spell had transformed into black water, driving away the demon, but her coldness remained. But none of this was enough to concern her; she was more concerned about why her senior brother was here.
"It's a long story, Wanwan. I'll explain it to you later. Let's find a safe place first." Zhang Qingchen was about to pick up Li Yuanying and leave.
As soon as he touched Li Yuanying, he found that Li Yuanying's body was stiff and as cold as snow.
"Wanwan, why are you so cold?"
Li Yuanying was about to answer when a sinister voice came from behind Zhang Qingchen.
"Who the hell are you, brother? How dare you touch my wife?"
When Zhang Qingchen heard the voice, he looked over and saw a handsome young man with a murderous look on his face, glaring at him.
"Um... Senior Brother, this is my husband, Qilang." Li Yuanying was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly explained, "Qilang, this is my senior brother, Zhang Qingchen."
"I don't care whether you are Zhang Qingchen, Zhang Wukong, or Zhang Wanwan, you are not allowed to appear in front of my wife for twelve hours a day." Qilang walked towards Li Yuanying. He gently pushed Zhang Qingchen away, seemingly without exerting any force.
But Zhang Qingchen was thrown three meters away. He covered his chest in pain and looked at the person who came with some surprise and anger.
He was the head of the Zhang family and the first successor of the Sword Sect, but he didn't expect to be beaten away by this hairless kid.
"you……"
Li Yuanying didn't know Qilang was so rude to Zhang Qingchen. She wanted to say something fair, but unexpectedly, Qilang grabbed her hand tightly and said, "Madam, look at you. Your husband has only been away for a while, and you are already disobedient."
"Wanwan... this is the husband you wrote about in the letter..." Zhang Qingchen felt a little sad and unwilling.
"yes."
"Madam, you are so cold. Let me warm you up." Qilang didn't seem to be prepared to pay attention to Zhang Qingchen. He rubbed Li Yuanying's hands and put her hands in his arms.
"Wanwan, I, I'll go out and wait for you. It's not advisable to stay here for long. Please come out as soon as possible." Zhang Qingchen became uneasy. He knew it was not good to stay any longer, so he hurried out of the room.
As soon as Zhang Qingchen left, Qilang let go of Li Yuanying's hand. His expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
There was anger in his eyes: "You two are calling each other so intimately."
Qi Lang recalled that after Li Yuanying had physical contact with her that day, she did not show any reaction but remained calm. He began to wonder if she and this so-called senior brother...
"Yeah." Li Yuanying was also a little annoyed. "Why did you trap me here just now? Do you know..."
"So, didn't I rush back immediately?" Qi Lang didn't know where the suffocation came from. His chest felt a little uncomfortable, and some words came out uncontrollably. "I really can't believe that Madam and Senior Brother are here being affectionate. She even calls you Wanwan..."
Li Yuanying didn't care about Qilang's emotions. She suddenly felt like something was grabbing her heart. She began to breathe heavily and hugged her arms in discomfort.
It was as if the cold had invaded her heart.
She no longer had the heart to argue with Qilang, she just closed her eyes, trying to relieve the pain.
Qilang frowned, he reached out and touched Li Yuanying's legs, and found that they were already like two popsicles.
He originally thought that Li Yuanying's illness would only occur once every three days, but he didn't expect it to be so serious tonight.
Could it be because his form-binding technique is a very yin thing?
There is only one terminal illness in this world that cannot be touched by anything extremely yin, and that is cold.
It is impossible for ordinary humans to suffer from colds.
unless……
Qilang frowned and pursed his lips, his expression changing slightly.
"Does it hurt?" he asked softly.
"Um."
"If you feel uncomfortable, call your husband and I will help you feel better."
Li Yuanying's breathing became rapid, and the cold seemed to be swallowing her up. She was a little angry that Qilang still wanted to tease her at this point, so she glared at the boy and didn't want to say anything.
"No?" Qi Lang raised his eyebrows, then gently embraced Li Yuanying in his arms, "If you don't scream, don't blame me for being rude."
