Nangong Jue believed such arrogant words.
A heart that had been buried in the sea of hope finally began to beat with passion. He eagerly asked, "Who... are you?"
Wen Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a curved lip, "What? Don't you recognize me? I am Wen Xi!"
"Wen Xi..."
Nangong Jue murmured her name, revealing a smile as warm as the spring breeze, and said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go to Yuze City with you."
Miao Tong and Miao Shu gasped, and Miao Tong anxiously tried to stop him, "Young Master, are you crazy? Don't you know your situation? You can't leave at all..."
There were so many people here that she couldn't say much. Her anxious eyes fell on him and her lips were almost bitten.
"Miaotong, you and Miaoshu go home first. I will come back after I finish my work."
Nangong Jue spoke calmly, but his tone did not allow them to refute.
"No way..."
"I have made up my mind, you don't need to say anything more."
He turned to look at Wen Xi and Song Shiming and reminded them, "It's getting late, let's set off now."
"Okay, I'll drive you there."
Mr. Wang rolled up his sleeves, full of energy, and asked everyone to leave.
Lin Dayong saw them off to the car and said expectantly, "If you can find my child, you will be my benefactor. Please be careful and stay safe. Don't get into direct conflict with the bad guys."
Lin Dayong was both excited and worried.
Miaotong and Miaoshu were abandoned aside and were about to cry. This was probably the most rebellious time that Nangong Jue had ever acted since he was a child. They looked at Wen Xi with resentment, thinking that it was she who led the young master astray.
The luxury car sped away. Miaotong and Miaoshu felt very disappointed and decided to go back to Nangong's house to ask for help. Otherwise, what would they do if something happened to the young master?
After leaving Changjing City, Nangong Jue felt suffocated and panicked, as if someone was squeezing his heart. He leaned against the wall with a pale face, squinting his eyes at the scene passing by outside the car window, and felt that his breathing began to weaken.
Suddenly, a slender white hand rested on his shoulder, and a warm current swept through his body. A golden light flashed quietly before his eyes, his heart began to return to normal, and the blurry scene in front of him became clear.
Wen Xi asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Nangong Jue frowned and said hesitantly, "It seems... it's okay!"
The little ghost was still floating on his shoulder. He was originally weak and powerless, but now he looked much more energetic.
Wen Xi looked past Nangong Jue and at the Japanese patrol officer who was sticking to the car window. After seeing her, his lifeless eyes suddenly became bright, and a look of panic appeared on his pale face.
Oh my god, why is this young lady here?
Wen Xi silently spat out a word at him, "Get out!"
The Day Patrol Envoy shrank his head and smiled dryly at her. Seeing how familiar she was with Nangong Jue, he knew that the ghostly soul could not be taken away, so he quickly slipped away.
After driving for two and a half hours, before nightfall, they finally crossed the mountains and arrived at Honghai Village in Yuze City. It was a remote place. After crossing the hill, they saw continuous villages, with smoke rising from cooking fires and the aroma of rice floating in the air, making people's stomachs rumble.
Song Shiming scratched his head, a blush appearing on his handsome face. He said embarrassedly, "I didn't have time to eat at noon. Now that I smell the delicious food, I feel hungry."
Mr. Wang parked the car in a nearby open-air square. He looked around the village and asked cautiously, "Miss Wen, Mr. Nangong, is Lin Zihan's body buried here? Where exactly is it? Can we go dig it up?"
He couldn't wait.
"The sky is filled with crimson clouds, and a dragon vein is hidden. This place may seem warm and ordinary, but it is actually filled with evil spirits!"
Nangong Jue frowned, his eyes dark, and he could see a gurgling black air current floating here.
"I can't see anything, I just know I'm so hungry. Brothers and sisters, let's go find something to eat first?"
Song Shiming looked at them eagerly and suggested.
The sky darkened, the red glow dissipated, and dark shadows began to appear around. Seeing groups of ghosts begin to float out, Wen Xi said thoughtfully, "This place is really scary."
Boom boom boom!
Outside the car door, a middle-aged man's face came up, looking a little wretched in the night. Seeing their eyes focused on him, he quickly showed a simple and honest smile.
"Hey bosses, why are you here in Honghai Village? Are you here to stay overnight or have a meal at the farmhouse?"
Seeing them get off the car, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and driving a luxury car, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands and smiled ingratiatingly, "My name is Li Dazhuang, and I'm the village chief here. Our village has many local delicacies, and they are all delicious."
Song Shiming's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Okay, okay, where are we going to eat? Let's go!"
Mr. Wang grabbed him, curled his lips in disdain, and said in a low voice, "We still have business to attend to."
Wen Xi stared at Li Dazhuang. A female ghost in red was wrapped around his back, her long black hair moving in the wind, and she was grinning at her. She suddenly smiled playfully and said, "Okay, then please trouble the village chief to take us to dinner. We came here because we heard that this mountain village has delicious local specialties and delicacies, right, Uncle Wang?"
Mr. Wang was bewildered. When he saw her glance at him, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we want to eat the best. Take out all your treasured things to treat us. We are not short of money."
Li Dazhuang's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, his smile reaching his ears. He led them inside and said with a smile, "Don't worry, boss, the dishes here are all delicious. We even have the kinds of food that are not allowed to be hunted in the mountains. Look, a tour group has also come to our Honghai Village because of our reputation and are having a feast in the village."
Tour group?
Wen Xi and Nangong Jue looked at each other and followed Li Dazhuang to a private house. There was a large courtyard at the entrance and a two-story villa, which looked like a commercial farmhouse B&B. There was also a rockery and a pond with fat koi swimming around in it.
Song Shiming felt something was amiss. He leaned over to Wen Xi's ear and whispered, "Sister Wen, why do I feel like this village is quite wealthy? Each fish in this pond costs hundreds of thousands. We have dozens of them at home, and I recognize them. And that rockery, carved by a famous artist, must have cost at least hundreds of thousands. And the village chief, when I saw him smile, he showed off several of his gold teeth. He must be a wealthy man."
Wen Xi smiled in an unfathomable way, "All the money was obtained by sucking human blood, and sooner or later it must be returned. Of course, the return is also human lives!"
