“You said her name is Shen Shuyi, and she likes to wear red dresses?!”
"Yeah." Yin Qianrou didn't understand why he was so excited.
Shi Zhengchun's mind was filled with the image of Shen Shu. She also loved wearing red. The weapon used by the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult was a long whip, and Shu'er's weapon was also a long whip. Could it be...
No, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult is dead, and Shu'er can't possibly be the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult.
But... Xie Xinghe didn't die after falling off the Cliff of Broken Souls. Could it be that Shu'er is really the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult, and she met Xie Xinghe at the Cliff of Broken Souls, and the two of them set out on this journey together...
Coupled with Shu'er's style of doing things, Shi Zhengchun became more and more certain the more he thought about it, but at the same time he was greatly shocked. Why would Shu'er lie to him!
Could it be that...she was afraid that I would discover her identity, so she deliberately concealed it?
Oh right... Shu'er must be worried that he would mind his identity as a demon cultist...
Silly Shuer, he doesn't even mind Qianrou, so how could he mind her? After all, they have lived and died together.
Shi Zhengchun was so excited that he wanted to find Shu'er immediately and tell her that he didn't mind!
…
The carriage was traveling on the official road of Cangshan Mountain. When passing through a village, Xie Xinghe called out into the carriage.
“Miss Shen.”
"What's wrong?" Shen Shuyi came out and sat with him in front of the carriage, looking at the scenery ahead.
"There's a village. Do you want to stop by and stay for the night?"
"Yes, yes, yes. My back is sore from sitting in a carriage all day."
"Xie Xinghe, I'm hungry."
"I'll buy some food from the villagers later." Xie Xinghe replied.
The two drove to the front of the village. As soon as they entered the village, villagers gathered around them. When they saw Shen Shuyi get out of the car, they immediately frowned.
Shen Shuyi felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she called out to the middle-aged woman at the front, "Auntie, is there a place to stay in the village?"
She took out her purse and handed the change to the old lady.
"No, no, no, girls, you should set off early before it gets dark and stay overnight in the city." The old lady refused the money and sighed.
Chen Shuyi didn't understand why she was so resistant. It was strange that she didn't want to make money even if she had one.
"We just want to find a place to stay in the village, have a hot meal, take a hot shower, and get some sleep. We'll leave tomorrow and won't bother you too much."
Someone came forward from behind and said, "Miss, it's not that we are against outsiders, it's just that the village has been restless lately."
"What do you mean?" Xie Xinghe asked.
When this matter was mentioned, someone started crying and explained the whole story in a halting manner.
It turned out that in recent months, young women had been disappearing in the village one after another, as if they had vanished out of thin air without making any noise.
It was so weird that some people endured the pain of leaving their hometown and took their children away from the village in order to protect their little girls.
There are no little girls in the village now, but now there is a beautiful woman as pretty as a flower. What if something happens to her?
"Some of us suspect that it's a monster in the mountains causing trouble."
"After all, girls, you should go."
Chen Shuyi raised an eyebrow, "What you all don't know is that Master Xie and I are from the Jianghu and know some martial arts. Why don't I stay in the village to lure out the criminals? Then we can catch them and see if we can rescue the girls."
Xie Xinghe cooperated with her and held the sword in front of him. The two of them looked extraordinary at first glance. The villagers were skeptical, but when they heard that this Young Master Xie came from the Canglan Sword Sect, one of the five major sects, they suddenly became excited.
They all asked them for help and enthusiastically took them to a clean house, brought them food and helped boil hot water, hoping that they could really catch the thief.
Shen Shuyi had his meal and took a leisurely bath. When he came out, he saw Xie Xinghe polishing his sword in the yard.
She asked, "Do you think the thief will come tonight?"
"I don't believe in ghosts or gods."
Xie Xinghe put away his sword and looked up at her, "Be careful."
“I know~” Shen Shuyi leaned over, “Xie Xinghe, are you concerned about me?”
Xie Xinghe's eyes were deep and he said nothing. He closed his eyes and meditated.
Shen Shuyi leaned over, boldly sat in his arms, and sniffed his scent, "You took a bath too, it smells so good, like the smell of bamboo."
Xie Xinghe closed his eyes, intending to ignore her, otherwise she would get more excited.
Just wait until she gets bored, then she should stop.
Shen Shuyi's fingers lifted his long hair and entangled it in her hands, her voice carrying a hint of bewitching, "Xie Xinghe, why did you protect me in your arms when we were in Donglin City? You could have just stood by and watched. I wouldn't have died from a few Liuli lamps anyway. At most, I would have suffered some minor injuries."
"Besides, you've been treating me much better recently. You don't call me a witch anymore."
"Xie Xinghe, are you in love with me?"
Xie Xinghe felt his temples throbbing. She was indeed a witch, sent by God to temper his swordsmanship.
"Now our lives hang in the balance. I'm taking action simply out of a sense of responsibility."
Shen Shuyi’s fingers touched his Adam’s apple, and she couldn’t help but touch it, “Then you are a person with a strong sense of responsibility.”
"Well...you and I have already slept in the same bed, so doesn't that mean you have to marry me?"
Xie Xinghe prides himself on having a good temper, but every time he is irritated by this witch.
He pulled the person down from his arms and said, "I'll go to the roof to keep watch."
Shen Shuyi snorted and said that he couldn’t afford to play.
Less than half an hour later, Shen Shuyi heard the system prompt while lying on the bed.
[Host, someone is coming.]
Shen Shuyi was curious, "66, what is the origin of this group of criminals who specialize in arresting young girls?"
[I've checked it out. Do you still remember the Sword Forging Villa?]
"Of course, last time, Su Qingyao and I were captured by bandits in collusion with the Sword Forging Villa. This group of people has a close relationship with the Heavenly Blade Sect."
