"Damn it." Hentian tried every secret technique he could find, but he couldn't remove the dragon and snake totem on his forehead, or even cover it up.
Because of the totem matter, Hentian was delayed for a while. Master Jingyun's master, Elder Mintian, arrived late, accompanied by Elder Liantian and several experts at the Earthly Realm.
"【Life and Death Tracking】." Min Tian immediately noticed the totem on Hen Tian's forehead.
On the way, Elder Mintian sensed something and calculated with his fingers that Daoist Jingyun's life tablet was shattered and his soul lamp was extinguished, meaning that both body and soul had perished. Now, seeing the totem on Hentian's forehead, what could Mintian not understand? His good disciple had risked his life to point out the scoundrels of the Heavenly Dao Palace and restore peace to the world.
...
Ji Xiaoxiao was escorted away from the Nie family by Daoist Jingyun, and floated eastward. Her enemies weren't just Nie Zhen and that servant, but also the mysterious and unpredictable Hentian. As a mere ghost, she was weak and powerless, and even dealing with Nie Zhen was beyond her capabilities. To complete her mission, she needed a powerful ally, and the Litian Dao Palace was undoubtedly the best choice.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, Ji Xiaoxiao felt tired and stopped under a tree.
"Beep beep beep..."
The sound of string and wind instruments drifted from not far away, slowly approaching her.
Ji Xiaoxiao's nose twitched. "Vast spiritual energy, righteous energy, a great being of the righteous path."
With a whoosh, Ji Xiaoxiao disappeared into the tree trunk, concealing her ghostly aura and blending almost perfectly with the tree.
The music grew closer, then stopped by the tree and remained motionless.
"Could it be that they've discovered me?" Ji Xiaoxiao wondered to herself.
She didn't panic or realize she'd given herself away; instead, she remained calm and quiet, like a part of the tree itself.
After a while, the music stopped.
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
It was a deep, pleasant male voice, melodious and magnetic, with a slightly husky tone, and a lazy, languid air, seemingly that of a noble cat who had just finished eating.
Ji Xiaoxiao ignored him; she was hiding in seclusion and shouldn't be discovered.
"Aren't you coming out yet?" The last syllable rose in pitch, carrying a seductive allure.
Ji Xiaoxiao swallowed hard. That person was amazing. A voice almost made her lose control.
"Could it be a nine-tailed fox or some other demon outside?" But that doesn't make sense either; that righteous energy couldn't possibly belong to a demon!
Ji Xiaoxiao emerged from the tree trunk and saw a large sedan chair carried by eighteen men parked a meter away, but there was no one around it. The light gauze of the sedan chair swayed in the wind, and the person sitting inside was vaguely visible.
"Come here." The person in the sedan chair beckoned to Ji Xiaoxiao with a finger, and Ji Xiaoxiao's body floated into the sedan chair uncontrollably.
A man sat in the sedan chair. He had a stunningly handsome face, and his clothes were half-naked, revealing his fair chest.
Ji Xiaoxiao blinked and murmured, "So white, I really want to touch it."
"Awestruck?" He chuckled softly, his starry eyes shimmering, more dazzling than the sun, moon, and stars in the sky.
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, this is the first time I have ever seen such a beautiful woman as you."
Everyone has a love for beauty; there's no need to be ashamed to express it.
"Am I pretty?"
"It looks good." Ji Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly.
"Then will you marry me?"
Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, then paused, "What did you say?"
"I saw you nod; you're willing to marry me." The man spoke to himself, his eyes growing even brighter. "Wedding... what do we need to prepare for a wedding? A phoenix coronet and embroidered robe? Dowry and betrothal gifts? A banquet for relatives and friends?"
The man shrugged and said he'd talk about it when he got back; his subordinates would take care of it.
"I'm Rong Tian," the man introduced himself. "And you?"
“Lou Yu,” Ji Xiaoxiao replied naturally.
“Louyu.” Rong Tian savored it for a moment and said, “It’s beautiful. She’s worthy of being my future wife.”
"Now, let's go home!"
Ji Xiaoxiao let out a soft "Eh".
