Upon seeing this, a group of armed Japanese soldiers guarding outside rushed into the courtyard under the leadership of their captain.
Because Chu Nian had set up a shield, the people inside the room were unaware of the situation outside and were wondering why a thick fog had suddenly rolled in.
The Japanese were also enveloped in thick fog, unable to see even their closest companions. Now, only Wang Chengcheng stared in terror at Chu Nian, who remained sitting calmly.
She finally realized that the girl in front of her was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
She demanded, "You're not an ordinary person. What are you? Are you a demon or a monster?"
Chu Nian answered frankly, "I am a human being."
Wang Chengcheng: "Who is it?"
Chu Nian: "Uh... she's not an ordinary person."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Chengcheng asked again, "What exactly is your relationship with Lin Xiaolou?"
Mentioning this, Chu Nian smiled, a feeling of "my son is growing up" welling up inside her. She said, "Guess."
Wang Chengcheng snorted, "I already know that Lin Xiaolou is not an ordinary person. It is said that he has lived for a very long time."
Chu Nian: "Where did you hear about this?"
Wang Chengcheng remained silent with a cold expression.
Chu Nian: "Jiuju's life?"
Wang Chengcheng remained silent, but the surprise that flashed across her face indicated that Chu Nian's guess was correct. Chu Nian asked, "How much do you think Jiu Ju knew about Lin Xiaolou throughout her life?"
Wang Chengcheng said, "He only said that Lin Xiaolou is a person who has existed since ancient times, and may belong to the ancient era of the Investiture of the Gods... a god."
Chu Nian: "So, why do you still want to be his enemy?"
Wang Chengcheng: "My master would never be an enemy of Lin Xiaolou."
Chu Nian: "So Jiu Ju Yisheng really is your master." After a pause, she added: "If you are my enemy, you are Lin Xiaolou's enemy."
Wang Chengcheng chuckled and said, "You think you can rival Lin Xiaolou just because you have some skills? Let me tell you, my master can't do anything to Lin Xiaolou, but Lin Xiaolou can't handle the magic weapon in my master's hands either."
"Oh? What kind of magic weapon?" Chu Nian asked. A magic weapon capable of restraining Lin Xiaolou truly piqued her curiosity!
She stood up.
Seeing this, Wang Chengcheng couldn't help but chuckle again: "What, you can't sit still now that you know Lin Xiaolou can't come back to save you?"
Chu Nian said, "I'm going to see that magic weapon. Do as you please!" After saying that, she turned into a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Chengcheng was completely stunned until a thick fog rolled in and completely engulfed her. Only then did she come to her senses: it turned out that Fang Nian was an extremely powerful mage.
"Fang Nian! Fang Nian! Come out here!" she roared as she cautiously made her way forward through the fog.
But Chu Nian had already gone outside the city to watch the excitement and had no time to pay attention to her. However, as she walked, she encountered a group of Japanese soldiers who were standing still and dared not move.
The captain of this Japanese squad was also from the Jiuju family, but not everyone from the Jiuju family had the talent to cultivate demonic arts. He was just an ordinary person, but the gun in his hand was still enough to deal with Wang Chengcheng in her current state—after all, her magical power was still quite limited.
In fact, he had already received orders from the head of the Jiuju family: this Wang Chengcheng had received the care of the Jiuju family for many years because of her relationship with Jiuju Yisheng, but she did not have the Great Japanese Empire or the Jiuju family in her heart. In particular, her temptation of Jiuju Yisheng had affected Jiuju Yisheng's decision. The head of the family ordered him to find an opportunity to kill this woman.
So when Wang Chengcheng saw them and thought she had found her companions, the captain shot her in the heart.
Wang Chengcheng stared at him in disbelief.
The captain said in Japanese, "Sorry, I was just following orders."
"How could this be? Lord Yisheng..." Wang Chengcheng's eyes rolled back and she breathed her last before she could finish speaking.
Chu Nian was genuinely surprised to discover a murder had occurred within her misty array, and that the deceased was none other than the female lead. The plot had veered awry: the female lead was dead? Her love story with the male lead hadn't even begun…
However, she was still quite curious about the magical artifact that Wang Chengcheng had mentioned earlier that Lin Xiaolou couldn't handle, so she went to the skies above a forest in the northern suburbs of Beiping.
Jiuju's bone age is nearly three hundred years old, but on the surface he looks like a young man who is not yet thirty years old. He and a group of members of the Demonic Cult stood solemnly in the sky, confronting Lin Xiaolou, whose face was cold and aloof.
Although Lin Xiaolou was alone, her aura was in no way inferior to theirs.
The members of Jiuju's team were not very old, the oldest being around eighty years old, and most of them were close to their outward age. Although these people practiced demonic cultivation, their cultivation levels were quite limited.
Although Chu Nian arrived, she remained hidden in the shadows and did not show herself, instead observing from the sidelines.
Since Jiuju made a promise with Lin Xiaolou, she hasn't set foot in China for so long, but she suddenly came here this time. Chu Nian doesn't believe that Wang Chengcheng didn't play a part in this.
However, Wang Chengcheng is quite resourceful; she managed to invite a powerful figure like Jiu Juyi, so she must have put in a lot of effort. It's a pity she doesn't use her talent and hard work in the right way.
Lin Xiaolou and Jiuju Yisheng started their conversation calmly, but then, for some reason, Jiuju Yisheng mentioned that Lin Xiaolou now had a weakness, which startled Lin Xiaolou.
He thought to himself, "The only person I care about is my master. Could it be that he hasn't appeared for so long because he's been imprisoned by the Jiuju family? But how could the Jiuju family have such power? How could their meager skills possibly restrain my master? But that thing in Jiuju's possession..."
His thoughts caught Jiuju Yisheng's attention, making her feel that she was right and that her scheme had succeeded. She couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems that Chengcheng is right. You do have someone you like and care about now."
Lin Xiaolou frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Chengcheng? Who is that?"
Jiuju said in surprise, "Uh, she said that she had a romantic entanglement with you in Beiping, China."
Lin Xiaolou thought for a while and said, "No, I haven't had any romantic entanglements with anyone."
Jiuju's face turned pale: she felt deceived. No, if she wasn't truly entangled with him, how would she know he had someone he cared about, someone who had a weakness?
Jiuju laughed heartily and said, "That's not important. What's important is that my people have already gone to talk to the person you care about."
Lin Xiaolou was overjoyed and asked, "Really? Where is he?"
Jiuju Yisheng's lips twitched. This gentleman's reaction was a bit off! Shouldn't he be anxious and worried about the person he cares about being controlled by his side? Why does he seem quite happy?
