Returning to the alley where I met the old woman, I saw a young couple tidying up their yard at the corner.
Zhu Yi knocked on the door and asked, "Young man, have you ever seen a kind old lady and a little black cat?"
"No, no! Get out of here, we haven't seen anything!"
Zhu Yi got angry as soon as she heard this, "I'm talking to you nicely, what do you mean by telling me to get lost right away!"
"Just get out of here! Stop talking nonsense!" The man threw down his hoe, stopped working, and strode up to Zhu Yi, his eyes blazing with anger.
Zhu Yi sensed something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the man and his wife were both shrouded in a faint black aura, their blood and qi were turbulent, and the veins on their foreheads were clearly visible. They were not like ordinary residents of the cultivation world.
Li Mei was somewhat smug; this was her masterpiece! Let's see how this brat handles it!
"The old woman clearly said she lives here, so how come there's no one here?" Zhu Yi asked tentatively. The man opposite her had bloodshot eyes with black energy emanating from them, and a chilling aura came from beneath Zhu Yi's feet. She was somewhat incredulous that there were demons performing evil magic right under the feet of the Tianlan Sect.
"They really don't respect us cultivators at all!" Zhu Yi glared fiercely at Li Mei.
Li Mei rolled her eyes and turned her head away from Zhu Yi, but in her heart she was overjoyed. Haha, the Great Protector really didn't lie to me. Setting up the Demon Soul Array to bewitch these people's minds will definitely give me more helpers!
"Crack! Crack!" Li Mei couldn't laugh. Zhu Yi lashed her hard with the whip, one lash from the left and one from the right. Instantly, Li Mei saw red marks on her delicate, snow-white skin. She gritted her teeth in anger.
"What are you looking at! Never experienced being beaten before? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out and feed them to the dogs!" Zhu Yi didn't bother arguing with an ordinary person whose mind had been bewitched, and vented all her anger on Li Mei. "Serves you right! You wait, when I have time, I'll go to your demon realm and set up a few demon-slaying needles for fun!"
Haha, do whatever you want. Do you think we demons are as particular as you cultivators? You might just set up a demon-slaying formation and one of your own demons will immediately try to pull people in for you!
With such a great opportunity, I should at least bring along a few demons who don't get along with me!
Li Mei was already mentally calculating which female demons in the Demon Clan were at odds with her. She would have to keep a close eye on Zhu Yi and see when she went to the Demon Clan.
In fact, Li Mei's ideas are very simple, but I always feel that something is missing from her thinking.
Zhu Yi was unaware of these subtle thoughts; if she could read minds, she would be furious right now.
The lamps of the Brahma were lit, and Zhu Yi cast a lotus-shaped spell, which landed on the foreheads of the demonized couple in an attempt to bring them back to their senses.
However, the fiery red lotus spell vanished without any effect, like a drop of water falling into a vast ocean.
"How could this be?" The Brahma Lamp is usually very effective at exorcising demons and evil spirits, so why did it fail this time?
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" The man went berserk, grabbing a hoe and intending to beat Zhu Yi mercilessly.
"If you don't leave, then stay and become our food!"
Zhu Yi cleverly dodged, but was caught off guard and hit all over the head with a winnowing basket by the woman, making her see stars.
In the courtyard, the couple seemed even more irritable than before Zhu Yi arrived.
Switch to doubles mode?
Seeing that things were going badly, Zhu Yi turned and ran, not forgetting to grab Li Mei, who was immobilized by the immobilization talisman, before running away.
Li Mei stumbled and skipped along behind Zhu Yi.
The movements were clumsy and slow, comparable to Xue Shan's previous zombie jump.
Zhu Yi had only run a few steps ahead when she realized that the two men who had been baring their teeth and claws behind her had disappeared, and only a malicious Li Mei was following behind her.
At the entrance of a small alley not far away, the couple lingered. Zhu Yi felt something was wrong; it seemed as if they were being blocked from coming out by something.
It was as if an invisible barrier was nurturing them.
Scarlet eyes, purplish-black lips, trembling mouth, as if it wanted to suck blood!
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zhu Yi immediately sent a message to Mu Yu explaining the whole story.
Mu Yu's response was swift; in less than fifteen minutes, he arrived, riding the wind on his sword. His snow-white robes were spotless, and his dashing figure in mid-air rivaled that of the male celebrities in Zhu Yi's previous life—outrageously handsome!
"Junior Sister, you said there are traces of demons here?" Before Mu Yu could finish speaking, he landed and saw two ordinary people tainted by demonic energy at the alley entrance not far away.
"The demonic formations are indeed powerful!" Mu Yu's eyebrows furrowed, his expression grave. "Junior Brother Lin Yuan was once afflicted by the demonic oath curse. Despite his Golden Core cultivation at the time, he was forced to remain in seclusion underground at Lotus Lake for more than half a year before emerging. If he had encountered some cultivators with lower cultivation levels, he probably would have been directly captivated and unable to extricate himself!"
After Mu Yu finished speaking, Zhu Yi's mind was filled with the thought: "Is Su Linyuan in seclusion at the bottom of Lotus Lake?"
"Hmm, right? What's wrong, Junior Sister?"
"..." Zhu Yi didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After Mu Yu used his magic to calm the couple opposite him, Zhu Yi stammered, "But... there's a little black snake at the bottom of Lotus Lake!"
The key point is that Zhu Yi changed her clothes in front of the little black snake!
At that time, she had just entered the bottom of Lotus Lake to recuperate her soul, and her clothes would always get completely wet from going in and out.
She could only prepare a few sets of clothes to change into each day. It was only later, when Zhao Cai reminded her that she could use a water-avoidance spell, that she was able to avoid soaking in the Lotus Lake... Zhu Yi quickly recalled the situation at the time. When she first went to sleep at the bottom of the Lotus Lake, she had several times been in front of the snake sleeping opposite her in the lake!
She wondered if Su Linyuan remembered her. It was best not to! She was a little scared; what if Su Linyuan really saw her… There's always a chance of something going wrong. She was too embarrassed to ask directly; she couldn't very well shamelessly ask Su Linyuan, “Oh, did Senior Brother Linyuan see something special at the bottom of Lotus Lake?”
How embarrassing!
Zhu Yi carefully pushed the bound Li Mei to Mu Yu. Her sudden dejection puzzled Mu Yu, but he still did his best to clean up the mess, destroying the demon's formation and taking the demonized couple away with him.
Just before leaving, Zhu Yi slapped her forehead: "Oh no! We didn't find Zhao Cai!"
