Luo Jiu didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly, while the voice of 007 inappropriately rang in her mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! Hidden quest completed! Reward: One Golden Elixir! Keep up the good work, victory is just ahead!! #SprinklingCrayons#]
A few weeks ago, 007 issued a mission that seemed to have no beginning or end, but all the doubts were answered at this moment.
"In the great battle many years ago, everyone thought I had defeated the demon, but in fact I only sealed him away."
Yan Ze's voice was low and hoarse, but every word he uttered next tugged at Luo Jiu's heartstrings.
The war between the cultivation world and the demon race many years ago was undoubtedly a catastrophe.
The Xiuyun Immortal Sect, in conjunction with all forces in the cultivation world, spared no expense in sealing the demon, for which Yan Ze paid a heavy price.
During the final stage of the sealing process, a wisp of the demon's soul escaped into Yan Ze's consciousness, awaiting its final revival.
As a result, around the middle of each month, Yan Ze would suffer excruciating pain and temporarily lose his magical powers.
That's why Luo Jiu saw the weakened Yan Ze that day, and everything that had happened in the past became clear.
However... this time the cycle seems to be a bit longer.
Luo Jiu looked at Yan Ze. The man before her was as calm and powerful as ever. He laid bare everything about himself without the slightest fear or apprehension.
She couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle. Yan Ze, oh Yan Ze, that's just the kind of person he is. Even if he lays bare all his weaknesses, he's confident you can't defeat him.
"The spiritual energy within you is quite unique..."
Yan Ze's words sent a shiver down Luo Jiu's spine; her spiritual power...
She's a rabbit demon, so her spiritual power is quite special? That naturally makes it different from theirs...
Why are you so nervous?
Yan Ze's gaze was exceptionally sharp, as if he could see through Luo Jiu's hidden facade.
"I mean, I can borrow your spiritual power to recover temporarily."
Luo Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and patted her still-shaken heart.
"Then... is it absolutely necessary to see blood?"
Luo Jiu is most afraid of pain. If it happens every time, that would be terrible!
"No, there are other ways."
"What……"
Before she could finish speaking, the man immediately interrupted her: "Think for yourself."
Luo Jiu: "..."
Her eyes immediately dimmed, like a pitiful abandoned puppy.
She took three steps at a time and walked towards Yan Ze. Just as she was about to reach out and tug at Yan Ze's sleeve, she heard the door be opened with a "bang".
Luo Jiu, who was standing nearby, seemed to be startled by something. Realizing that the distance between them was too close, she immediately moved two steps to the side.
Yan Ze looked somewhat displeased, his eyes darkening as he glanced at the newcomer.
"Master! Lord Ma's concubine has woken up!"
The person who came was Wen Zhaobai. He was slightly surprised to see Luo Jiu there as well, and he even overlooked the unusual expression on Yan Ze's face.
"Junior sister? You're here too?"
Yes, yes!
Luo Jiu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and pointed to the medicine bowl not far away: "I've come to deliver medicine to Master."
So... please don't misunderstand.
"Oh, is that so! Where is Master injured?"
Yan Ze watched helplessly as the two turned the topic to him, his expression becoming even more somber.
"Didn't they say that person woke up? Hurry up and go see."
Having said that, he turned and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, seeing Luo Jiu still standing there in a daze, he condescended to turn back and say:
"Hurry up and follow me!"
Luo Jiu seemed to wake from a dream, her little head drooping, and she quickly caught up with the group.
In no time, the room, filled with a strange fragrance, was once again crowded with people.
The woman's surname was "Wei," and she was someone Lord Ma had redeemed from a brothel. At this moment, she was hiding behind Lord Ma, her once rosy face now pale with an unnatural pallor, timidly observing Luo Jiu and his group.
“Madam, there is no need to be afraid. The evil spirit has been exorcised. May you extend your hand so we can examine your body to see if there are any problems?”
Wen Zhaobai has a very gentle and kind face, which makes people overlook his handsome face because of his temperament.
However, Wei did not make any move. When she saw the hand being offered to her, she actually pulled it back in.
"Don't be afraid, these are Taoist priests, they can heal you. Hold out your hand and let them take a look."
Lord Ma's attempts to appease her seemed to have no effect; Lady Wei still looked timidly at the group of people in front of her, refusing to cooperate at all.
The group knew they wouldn't get any results, but since the fox demon had been eliminated and she had received Qiu Ji's medicine, she was probably out of danger.
Everyone went back inside to pack up, planning to leave the next day.
The next morning, Prefect Nama prepared a farewell banquet for everyone to thank Yan Ze and his group for their help.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ze scanned everyone but couldn't find Luo Jiu and Wen Zhaobai anywhere.
His originally calm and composed expression grew increasingly impatient.
"Where are the two of them?"
"Junior Sister Luo Jiu and Senior Brother Wen Zhaobai made an appointment to go to the street to buy dried fruit early this morning."
After the disciple kindly explained, he felt a cold wind blow past him for some reason, and even in the early summer, he felt a chill.
How strange!
Meanwhile, Luo Jiu got up early to intercept Wen Zhaobai.
As her trip to Luoxian Town was coming to an end, she felt that her relationship with the male lead hadn't progressed at all, so she specially asked him out to reconnect.
"Senior brother, do you want some?"
Luo Jiu held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, the morning light shining on her side, making her incredibly beautiful.
"No need, eat more if you like."
Wen Zhao paused for a second, then refused. He didn't dare look Luo Jiu in the eye; how could he stare at his pure junior sister so rudely?
"oh."
Luo Jiu took two steps forward, the hawthorn in her mouth was crushed, mixed with syrup, making a crunching sound.
"Senior brother... what kind of woman do you like?"
"Um?"
Wen Zhaobai was puzzled, not expecting the topic to have turned to this.
Just as Luo Jiu was patiently about to ask again, a terrified scream came from not far away.
"Ah...someone's dead!"
The two people who were chatting stopped, looked at each other, and hurriedly walked towards the scene of the crime.
...
"The deceased died because his vital energy was drained."
The body was found in an abandoned storeroom. The deceased was a young girl, wearing a pink shirt.
Her eyes widened, as if looking at something in disbelief. Her young body rapidly withered away, and her pink robes became loose and baggy.
Wen Zhaobai carefully examined the corpse in front of him, looking for any other clues.
"This isn't Wang the blacksmith's daughter, and I haven't heard of anything strange happening to her. How could she suddenly be targeted by evil spirits?"
"That's right. I don't know if the people that Lord Ma invited are even useful. Strange things keep happening one after another, and there's been no relief at all. On the contrary, they've become even more rampant."
The hushed chatter of those around her reached Luo Jiu's ears, and she gazed thoughtfully at the scene before her.
