Put the little yellow fox into the storage bag.
Gingerbread looked at Burning Extinction and said, "I definitely heard a crunching sound, like bones being crushed."
"Why didn't you go and investigate?" Fen Jue's eyes met the girl's serious gaze.
When he asked this.
Gingerbread paused, "I....."
While they were still in a daze, the boy opposite them smiled.
His slightly upturned phoenix eyes held a meaningful smile, clearly indicating that he understood why she hadn't investigated.
"..." Gingerbread puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "You're only at the Nascent Soul stage now. I'm afraid you'll kick the bucket and get scolded by your master when you get back."
"Let's go, let's go!"
She quickly put an invisibility talisman on herself and said with a shifty look in her eyes, "I'm going back to sleep. You can continue to seduce me."
When exiting the illusion.
Gingerbread stumbled and fell.
Behind him came Fen Jue's lighthearted laughter.
Back in the gloomy alley, the flush on her cheeks faded slightly, and she patted her face as she spoke.
"Why are you feverish? Why are you turning red? Be cold again!"
At this moment, the eerie wind of the opera house street did not frighten her at all. She only wanted to encounter the skinning monster so she could kill it. When she was embarrassed, she was terrifyingly powerful.
Gingerbread flew back to the inn.
She tossed and turned in bed until late at night when she heard Fenjue return to his room next door before she finally fell asleep.
"Junior sister, come out for breakfast."
Liu Zheng's regular knocking sound entered my ears.
Gingerbread quickly got out of bed, performed a dust-removing incantation, and opened the door.
He closed the door behind him.
"Senior sister, what shall we eat?"
"Junior Sister." Liu Zheng pursed his pale lips and pointed at Jiang Bingbing's eyes, saying, "You've got panda eyes again."
"Huh? Oh, oh..."
One of the worst things about gingerbread is that whenever she doesn't get enough sleep, she gets dark circles under her eyes, as if her yang energy has been drained.
Liu Zheng accompanied her downstairs and asked with concern, "Junior Sister, were you worried about the Skinning Monster, that's why you didn't sleep well?"
"Yes...yes!"
She nodded slowly.
"It's alright," Liu Zheng patted her head reassuringly. "Your senior sister is here for you."
I've gone halfway up the stairs.
Standing in the same spot as yesterday, Li Dapu shouted, "Bingzi, are ten steamed buns enough for you?!"
!!!
I really want to swear.
Gingerbread slowly shifted its gaze to Fen Jue beside it, and sure enough, that guy had the same smile as last night.
She wanted to tear that idiot Li Dapu apart!
She rushed down and covered Li Dapu's mouth.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly eat ten buns?" Jiang Bingbing glared at Li Dapu, then turned to the waiter with a shy smile. "Just a bowl of congee would be fine, please."
"Alright, I'll go right away."
“Mmmmm—”
Li Dapu was like a tortoise struggling to turn over, his limbs flailing in the air.
She leaned closer and threatened in a low voice, "Xiao Li, watch your words, understand?"
"Mmm!"
Li Dapu nodded vigorously before she released his mouth, shaking her hand in disgust, "So much drool."
"Nonsense! I'd probably spit out something if I tried to speak."
Li Dapu had no idea what kind of evil had bewitched his fellow villager.
So what if I can eat?
Being able to eat is a blessing!
As soon as Gingerbread sat down, a long, slender hand reached out from across the table.
"Wipe it off?"
She looked up and saw Fenjue handing her a handkerchief.
"oh."
The handkerchief still retained the same cool fragrance as he did.
Gingerbread finished wiping her face, her ears turning red, and said, "I'll return it to you after I wash it."
"Hey! My saliva isn't poisonous!" Li Dapu's head creased with annoyance. "You don't need to wipe it for so long, do you?"
Gingerbread examined his hands seriously and said slowly, "It's not poisonous, but it's oily."
She had just mustered up the courage to cover Li Dapu's mouth.
After all, just how greasy is Li Dapu?
You cover his mouth.
You'll have to worry about whether he'll lick your hand!
"Sister, don't talk nonsense with your eyes wide open. Where is he greasy? He's always been like this for years. Sometimes you should think more about your own reasons. Do you have a prejudice against a warm guy like me?" Li Dapu said in a high-pitched voice.
Liu Zheng's eye twitched, which was rare for her. Just then, the waiter brought over some steamed buns, and she picked one up and stuffed it into Li Dapu's mouth.
Li Dapu hummed in agreement, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.
"!"
Liu Zheng was struck dumb.
The chopsticks fell onto the dining table with a clatter.
Remembering what my junior sister had just said, I was extremely glad that she hadn't used her hands.
Gingerbread couldn't bear to look, so she pinched a bun to cover her eyes and secretly ate the meat bun when no one was looking.
Fen Jue turned his head to the side, pursed his lips, and a forced, restrained smile appeared on his lips.
Pingyang County during the day is completely different from Pingyang County last night.
I ate breakfast by the window.
The sounds of vendors hawking their wares drifted from the street.
After the four finished eating, they headed to the county government office.
The county magistrate personally came out to receive them.
The magistrate of Pingyang County was named Cui Shou'an. He was nearly fifty years old, with a dignified and refined appearance and the air of a scholar.
Knowing they were immortals sent by the Sword Sect to exorcise demons, they were exceptionally hospitable, saying, "Immortal Master, please come in."
Magistrate Cui invited the people to the reception hall.
Gingerbread followed behind, discreetly observing the surroundings and the magistrate's subtle expressions.
Liu Zheng cut to the chase, "I heard that the first body discovered in Pingyang County was your wife's younger brother. Would it be convenient for you to meet the magistrate's wife?"
“Of course.” Magistrate Cui instructed his servant, “Have your wife come here.”
Without hesitation, and without any suspicious expression.
There are currently no problems with this county magistrate.
