"Lord City, I have several fellow disciples. Don't worry, with us here, we will definitely protect the City Lord's Mansion."
"Yes, City Lord, don't worry, our Qingyun Sect's senior sister's strength is no joke." Shen Muqing chewed on dried fruit and chimed in, "You can all rest assured."
"Okay, okay, I believe in immortals."
In the west of the city, Ling Yeyao and his group arrived at the home of the first victim. As soon as they pushed open the door, thick dust filled the air, and the smell of decay, along with a faint stench of blood, filled the air.
The house had been uninhabited for a long time. As soon as Luo Yi entered the house, he knew that it was the work of his kind. There was a demonic aura in the house, and Ling Yeyao could also smell the demonic scent.
"This is a demon."
Ling Yeyao said confidently, and Jiang Duxue looked at him with admiration, "Senior brother, you are so amazing!"
"Pfft"
The sound came from Luo Yi, who chuckled and paced around the house, trying to see what kind of demon had done this.
"why are you laughing?"
Ever since Luo Yi left Yun Ruoyue and followed him, his face has been sour, showing his unwillingness. He is a docile little lamb in front of Yun Ruoyue, but becomes arrogant and unapproachable when he is away from her.
"Laughing at you."
Ling Yeyao's expression also turned ugly upon hearing this. He had long disliked Luo Yi and was now acting like a spoiled brat.
"Junior Brother Luo, don't be so hostile. We're a team and should work together," Jiang Duxue advised, believing she still had some influence.
"Who is your junior brother? My master only has one disciple, me."
Luo Yi spoke without any mercy; when he was being ruthless, he could poison someone with just a smirk.
Don't be ungrateful.
"Oh, I'm just ungrateful, what can you do to me?"
"Senior brother, look at him, he's so fierce."
Jiang Duxue had no choice but to ask Ling Yeyao for help. She was completely out of line, standing very close to Ling Yeyao and holding his sleeve.
"nausea."
Luo Yi coldly uttered two words and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Ling Yeyao called out to him. They were a team and should act together.
"none of your business."
He didn't linger, lifted his leg and left. Soon his figure disappeared from the house, leaving only Ling Yeyao and Jiang Duxue in the same spot.
"Senior brother, what should we do now?"
"Never mind him, let's keep looking."
"good."
After Luo Yi left, he disappeared around the corner. His figure quickly appeared at the second victim's house. This time, he was even more certain of his guess. This was a monster that fed on people's emotions. The house was filled with regret, love, and resentment.
Interesting, he has never encountered a demon like this before.
At the City Lord's Mansion, Yun Ruoyue observed the buildings and prepared for tomorrow's operation. She sent someone to tell the waiter that if the three returned, they should come to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Yueyue, what should we do tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow we'll pretend to be the bride's maid and follow her around the room, acting as we see fit."
The wedding was held at the city lord's mansion, and Zhang Zhengqing was considered to have married into the family.
"Okay, no problem."
Shen Muqing was still a little excited; she had never seen what a monster looked like before.
After dinner, Luo Yi returned first, and Shen Muqing looked curiously at the person behind him, "Where are the other two?"
Luo Yi's expression fell, and he looked pitifully at Yun Ruoyue, "Master, those two are isolating me and won't take me with them."
"It's alright, come and eat."
Yun Ruoyue's expression was normal, no longer showing the same concern for him as before. Luo Yi lowered his eyes, his long, dark eyelashes covering his narrow eyes. "Master, you don't care about me at all."
"Uh, Luo Yi, how old are you that you still need people to care?" Shen Muqing really didn't want to say anything, but she still spoke up.
"Go eat, don't overthink it."
"Okay, Master."
An hour later, Ling Yeyao returned with a tired-looking Jiang Duxue. The two had been running around all afternoon, and seeing the leftovers on the table made them dizzy.
"Ah Yue, why didn't you wait for us to eat together?"
Yun Ruoyue put on a gentle expression, "Ayao, Qingqing said she was hungry. You know, Master told us to take good care of her."
Her tone was full of helplessness. She didn't want it to be this way, but what could she do when the other person was the Immortal Venerable's disciple?
"I'm sorry, I said I wanted to eat first, I hope you won't mind." Shen Muqing mimicked Jiang Duxue's tone, "People as understanding as you should be able to understand me."
What else could be done after all that? In the end, the housekeeper had the kitchen prepare another meal for them.
While they were eating, Yun Ruoyue talked about her plans.
"Tomorrow, Qingqing and I will pretend to be Lady Li's maids. You two keep a close eye on the situation outside the room. If there's any disturbance, use the communication talisman. Understand?"
"clear!"
"Yes, Master."
Luo Yi's voice was hoarse as an evil idea was born in his mind.
Everyone received their task and is just waiting for tomorrow.
In the still of the night, a wisp of purple smoke drifted into a certain part of the city lord's mansion.
Almost as soon as the wisp of smoke entered, Luo Yi noticed that in the darkness, his eyes were faintly red, and he opened them sharply, shooting them in that direction.
Then he closed his eyes again, deciding not to meddle.
The next day, the entire city lord's mansion appeared to be filled with joy, but in reality, everyone inside was terrified. If it weren't for the fact that the wages for that day were ten times the usual amount, probably no one would have been willing to come.
The auspicious hour had arrived. Yun Ruoyue and Shen Muqing, dressed as maids, followed behind Li Qianjin, one on each side. Li Qianjin's belly was slightly protruding, and her hands were gently placed on her stomach. Even with her veil covering her head, one could feel the joy and maternal glow emanating from her. At this moment, she was undoubtedly happy.
People are always happiest when they are closest to happiness.
In the lobby, after waiting for a long time without the arrival of the groom Zhang Zhengqing, Yun Ruoyue had a bad feeling. She thought to herself, "This is bad, he is in danger."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was terrified, especially Li Qianjin. She lifted her veil, revealing her delicate face, and exclaimed, "What did you say? My husband is in danger?"
Lord Li hurriedly helped her up, "My dear daughter, don't get agitated. With the immortals here, nothing will happen."
"Father, you must save Qinglang. He is the father of my child. He can't be harmed."
"Don't worry, sweetie, don't get excited."
