"Is it really possible for someone to create such a space?" Tang Nian murmured.
The Ye sisters can live normally in their room, and there is also a hidden space that they are using. Even the immortals on Kunlun Mountain might not be able to create such an exquisite space.
But she didn't have time to think about it now.
The sudden feeling of being squeezed in the space made it hard for her to breathe.
The room was very hostile to them, or rather, very hostile to outsiders.
As soon as the two entered, the entire space trembled violently, screaming as if trying to force them out.
But having gone to such lengths to find this place, how could they possibly leave so easily?
Finding that he couldn't shake the two out of his space, the ground began to shake.
Tang Nian almost fell because she lost her balance, but Lou Mu quickly reached out to support her.
Without Tang Nian noticing, he quietly held her tightly in his arms.
"careful."
Tang Nian wasn't much better off.
Lou Mu shielded her from most of the damage, but they still had a symbiotic contract, so she was still affected by Lou Mu.
She also subconsciously grasped Lou Mu's hand, which was loosely wrapped around her waist.
The two held hands tightly, and after an unknown amount of time, perhaps the one who created the space gave up, the space finally stopped trembling.
"alright."
Tang Nian let out a long breath, only then realizing that their posture was somewhat ambiguous, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
Lou Mu also looked away somewhat awkwardly and quickly put his hand down.
However, the blush on his face suggested that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Just then, the two suddenly heard the sound of men talking not far away.
The pleasant atmosphere in the air vanished quickly.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately headed towards the source of the sound.
They were still in the room, but now there was a screen in front of them.
Two figures could be vaguely seen through the screen.
Tang Nian leaned against the screen and quietly peeked out.
Not far away, two figures were sitting face to face.
I don't know what they were talking about, but the atmosphere seemed a bit tense, and neither of them was willing to speak first.
Tang Nian immediately recognized the slightly younger man as Song Shiyan.
Another middle-aged man had his back to her, and she searched her memory for a long time but couldn't recognize who this man was.
The two seemed to be spatially isolated, and the sounds they heard were very muffled, but they could still make out some things based on their movements and lip movements.
But didn't Song Shiyan die?
Is the person in front of me the real one? Or is the person who died in the other courtyard the real one?
Why did he appear in this mysterious space?
Tang Nian was a little confused for a moment. She straightened up slightly to move her joints and then leaned over the screen to peek.
The two seemed to be discussing something important, gesturing on the table.
Tang Nian squinted and carefully read Song Shiyan's lip movements; he seemed to be talking about some kind of medicinal herb.
However, as they talked, perhaps due to a disagreement, they started arguing. Even the usually refined Song Shiyan couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and stand up. Neither of them would give in.
Tang Nian wanted to get closer to hear more clearly, and was thinking about how not to be discovered by the two of them when she suddenly felt a clearing in her ears, and then the sound of their conversation became clear.
Tang Nian listened intermittently to the two arguing, and it seemed that they were arguing about the acquisition of placenta.
Tang Nian felt a chill run down her spine; she thought of the golden toad.
Could it be that Song Shiyan and this mysterious man are also related to the wealthy merchant mentioned by the golden toad?
Could it be that the person who killed Song Shiyan and the murderer who killed the golden toad are the same person?
She was so busy thinking about her own guesses that she didn't notice Lou Mu's gloomy expression.
He thought of the group of pharmacy workers he had met in Jinzhou who were buying up human placenta.
Placenta is a medicinal herb, so it's not surprising that it was purchased. However, he later asked Jingyao to investigate, but Jingyao returned empty-handed.
Such an ordinary thing seems to have been concealed by someone.
The biggest problem is that nothing can be found.
He planned to go to Jinzhou to find out what was going on once the matter in Jingning City was resolved.
Immediately afterwards, a keyword struck Tang Nian, who was shocked and her eyes were filled with astonishment.
"I found all those human skins for you!" Song Shiyan suddenly looked ferocious, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and shouted loudly at the middle-aged man.
Human skin!
Even this matter is related to Song Shiyan?
Why did he bring her and Lou Mu here again?
Thinking of the people who died tragically in Nanyu City, Tang Nian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Keep your voice down, there are only the two of us here." The middle-aged man's voice also rose a few decibels.
He shifted uncomfortably, revealing half of his face.
This profile view... seems familiar.
Tang Nian couldn't help but frown.
Perhaps intimidated by the middle-aged man, or perhaps realizing that he was being too emotional, Song Shiyan snorted and sat down.
"So what do you want?"
The two returned to their previous volume, and Tang Nian listened carefully for a long time but still couldn't hear them clearly, which made her very curious.
The place where she and Lou Mu were hiding was not close to the two men, and since they were deliberately keeping their voices down, she couldn't hear any of the key points.
She looked up at Lou Mu, who still had a stern face.
Tang Nian sighed and decided to take matters into her own hands.
Just as she was about to move closer to listen, Lou Mu's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly covered Tang Nian's ears.
Tang Nian frowned, and just as she was about to retort to Lou Mu, she noticed that Lou Mu's expression was a little off.
His face was pale, as if he was trying to hold back something.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Nian felt a slight itch in her ear, which was also a little painful.
Before she could say anything, she saw blood flowing from Lou Mu's ear.
Tang Nian's expression changed drastically, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart.
Lou Mu, a fox who had just entered the path of immortality, could not withstand this mysterious attack. He could no longer stay in this space.
If they dawdle any longer, she and Lou Mu will both perish here.
But this was her first time in this strange space, and she had no idea how to get out.
She suddenly remembered something that had been pretending to be dead.
"Hey! I know you can get me out of here!" Tang Nian tapped the scabbard with her backhand and said in a low voice.
Tang Nian did not forget that there were two people outside the screen. Although she did not know if they would discover her, she still had to be careful.
The sword in its sheath seemed to sense Tang Nian's extremely bad mood and dared not be pretentious any longer. It quickly flew out of its sheath and drew a line in the air beside the two of them.
The surrounding space distorted.
The crack grew larger and larger, eventually engulfing the two of them.
In Tang Nian's last glimpse, the figures of Song Shiyan and the middle-aged man who were talking disappeared.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the Ye sisters' room.
