An eerie silence fell over everyone.
Until the fox princess with a furry face got up from the ground.
When Sheng Ning told Liao Qifeng that the people in Chang Le Fang were all demonic cultivators, the latter was somewhat skeptical.
After all, his father had told him before he returned that the demonic cultivator branch had been destroyed.
Even if the demonic cultivators still wanted to come, they wouldn't appear again at this dangerous juncture.
However, the fox princess's furry fox face slapped him hard across the face like a palm.
They really are demonic cultivators!
Liao Qifeng drew his sword on the spot, releasing the pressure of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, instantly silencing the once bustling market.
"Demonic cultivators? It hasn't been long since the demon clan's branch was destroyed, and you still dare to invade? You're courting death!"
Fox Princess never expected that her disguise would fail.
She raised her hand to touch her face, and upon touching a handful of hair, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"
She pointed at Sheng Ning, who was wearing a red mask, and said, "It's all your fault that I've become like this!"
All the changes occurred after Sheng Ning appeared.
Ignoring the oppressive aura emanating from Liao Qifeng, she was determined to crawl towards Sheng Ning and strangle her, even if it meant crawling on her own.
Fox Fairy's cultivation level was not as high as Liao Qifeng's, let alone the other demonic cultivators in Chang Le Fang.
With Liao Qifeng present, Sheng Ning, no longer restrained by the pressure, stepped forward with a composite crossbow in hand. "Do you know Shi Yueyao?"
The tip of the compound crossbow's short arrow was aimed directly at the fox spirit's demon core in her abdomen.
The latter was suppressed and watched as Sheng Ning walked to his side and asked him a name he had never heard of before.
The fox spirit gritted her teeth and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"
Sheng Ning poked the arrowhead into her skin. "Just asking, do you know Shi Yueyao?"
This was the second time Liao Qifeng had heard this name.
He frowned, wanting to ask who this person was, but to cooperate with Sheng Ning, he increased his pressure, "You just need to answer whether you know or not."
Fox Princess shook her head.
Sheng Ning suddenly smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Now you know, my name is Shi Yueyao. If you're so capable, send the demons to kill me."
Fox Princess: "...Do you think I look like an idiot?"
Shrugging, Sheng Ning never took off her mask from beginning to end. "Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you."
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. After all, names are given by parents, and I can't change them."
When Sheng Ning 'revealed' her identity, the fox spirit didn't believe her lies at all.
After hearing what she said, Fox Princess's thoughts wavered instantly.
Sheng Ning had achieved her goal. She looked up at Liao Qifeng and said, "Young City Lord, you can take the person away now."
Liao Qifeng hummed in agreement. "That's it?"
She risked being killed by the fox spirit just to tell her that her name was Shi Yueyao.
Liao Qifeng's eyes twitched slightly for a moment before he took out several Immortal Binding Ropes from his mustard seed bag. "Please help me tie them up."
As the name suggests, the Immortal Binding Rope is so powerful that even immortals cannot escape it, because once bound by it, even the divine power and immortal energy of an immortal will disappear.
Not to mention cultivators like the Fox Fairy.
However, the demonic cultivators actually sent so many Golden Core cultivators to be stationed in Youyun City, which is a large city and serves as a transit point.
It is unknown whether other cities have been invaded by demons.
Liao Qifeng swiftly bound Fox Fairy and the others with the Immortal Binding Rope, then inspected the neighborhood again to make sure no one had escaped before leaving the neighborhood.
“I will take these demonic cultivators back for rigorous interrogation, then discuss it with my father and inform the other city lords about the demonic invasion.”
The tall, imposing man standing in front of Sheng Ning made her appear exceptionally petite.
He was tall, and Sheng Ning could only look up at him. "You've worked hard, Young City Lord."
Her words made Liao Qifeng's brow twitch.
He handed over the fox spirit and other demonic cultivators to the city guards, then pulled them aside. "I was just about to say that your voice sounds very familiar."
After saying goodbye to him, Sheng Ning changed her clothes and put on a mask.
The mask covered her entire face, obscuring her voice.
Liao Qifeng had only been back in the city for a short time, and most of the city's residents did not recognize him.
After running out of Chang Le Fang, Sheng Ning grabbed him as he passed by and spoke as if they were old friends.
Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Liao Qifeng still couldn't be sure.
Is the person in front of him really the same person he saw not long ago?
It wasn't until Sheng Ning removed the mask covering her face, revealing her delicate features, that she said, "It's only been a couple of hours, and the young city lord doesn't recognize me?"
"It really is you!" Liao Qifeng's doubts disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile.
He glanced up at the archway of Chang Le Fang not far away, but didn't ask her why she went into the neighborhood, nor did he ask her why she provoked the people there.
He withdrew his gaze and looked down at the person in front of him. "You, your name is Shi Yueyao?"
Sheng Ning's scumbag words, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do," not only bewitched Fox Fairy, but even Liao Qifeng believed them.
Hearing the uncertainty in his tone, Sheng Ning understood why, in the original story, he was completely taken advantage of and exploited by Shi Yueyao before being kicked aside.
Liao Qifeng, a young city lord, is actually a naive and innocent person?
A playful look appeared in her eyes. She stepped forward and asked him, "What would you do if I called you Shi Yueyao?"
Seeing her approach, Liao Qifeng subconsciously took a step back, a slight blush appearing on his face. "Miss Shi, are you... are you married?"
have to.
This young city lord of Youyun City is not just a naive and innocent person.
She's still a hopeless romantic.
With a smile that deepened, Sheng Ning reached out and grabbed his collar, forcing him to lower his head. She then whispered in his ear, "I told the young city lord about it the first time we met."
"My name is Sheng Ning. If the young city lord doesn't believe me, why is he talking to me about marriage?"
She released her grip on his collar, and after seeing the astonishment in his eyes, she smiled and took a step back.
“Shi Yueyao is my nemesis. I have said before that if the young city lord encounters her in the future, he must stay away from her.”
"Young city lord, you should be more careful, lest you be sold out and then help the seller count the money."
"I must thank the young city lord for his help today; otherwise, I would not have been able to defeat so many demonic cultivators on my own."
Then she lowered her head and said to Bai Ze, "It's getting late, we should go back."
Bai Ze nodded, her rosy lips parting slightly, "Okay."
After saying goodbye to Liao Qifeng, the two, one big and one small, turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Liao Qifeng was left standing there in a daze, his mind replaying the words Sheng Ning had just whispered in his ear.
'If you don't trust me, why are you talking to me about marriage?'
He doesn't even trust Sheng Ning, so what right does he have to admire her?
With his hands clenched into fists at his sides, Liao Qifeng wanted to say that he believed it now.
However, Sheng Ning and the other woman had already gone far away, and it was too late for him to believe her now.
