The demon was caught off guard and was forced to retreat repeatedly by the sword energy, with a trace of horror in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
The demon asked sternly.
Bai Shuang said nothing, just looked at it coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Bai Shuang, the demon became afraid and dared not fight any longer, so he fled into the distance.
Seeing this, Bai Shuang didn't even raise his eyelids, but the hand holding the sword suddenly moved.
In an instant, countless sword energies burst out from his body and swept towards the fleeing demons.
The overwhelming sword energy caught up with the demon in an instant.
The demon's eyes were filled with fear, and he finally realized that he had hit a wall.
Seeing the demon struggling in the sword energy, Bai Shuang looked calm, as if he was just waving away the dust.
She shook the long sword in her hand lightly, and the sword energy was like frost, instantly crushing the resistance of the demon.
The demon let out a shrill scream, and its body disintegrated in the sword energy, turning into pieces of ice crystals and dissipating in the wind.
Meng Wan stood aside, the wound on her shoulder still bleeding.
But her eyes were fixed on Bai Shuang, her eyes full of shock.
After a long while, she took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior. If you hadn't intervened in time, I would have been in great danger today."
Bai Shuang put away his sword and turned to look at Meng Wan, his tone still indifferent.
"It's just a small favor, no need to be polite. I just happened to be here and saw you were in danger, so I just wanted to help you."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wan's admiration for Bai Shuang increased even more.
She quickly invited him, "Since you're passing by, why don't you join me at the City Lord's Mansion to rest for a while? I'll definitely treat you well to express my gratitude."
Bai Shuang pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'm a little tired, so I'll bother you."
When Meng Wan saw Bai Shuang agreed, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.
"Senior, please follow me."
The two walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Although Meng Wan was injured, she seemed to be in high spirits and kept chatting with Bai Shuang along the way.
Bai Shuang looked indifferent, occasionally responding with a few words in a gentle yet distant tone.
In the darkness, Chi Ying looked at the two people's receding backs, frowning slightly.
He was originally planning to take action, but Bai Shuang got there first.
However, Bai Shuang is a steady person, so it is not entirely a bad thing for her to be exposed in public.
Half an hour later, in the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking uneasy.
She had already learned that Meng Wan had encountered revenge from a demon outside the city, and was worried that something might happen to her.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by Meng Wan's voice.
"City Lord, I'm back."
The city lord hurried forward and was relieved to see that Meng Wan was only injured in the shoulder, but he still looked shocked.
"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Wan waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and then introduced herself excitedly.
"It's just some minor injuries, nothing serious. Thanks to Senior Bai Shuang for saving me, otherwise I would have been unable to escape today."
The city lord then noticed Bai Shuang behind Meng Wan. Seeing that she had an extraordinary temperament and the aura she exuded was not as weak as his own, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
When did this city have another expert in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm?
The City Lord smiled and clasped his fists, "Thank you very much for saving this distinguished guest in my City Lord's Mansion."
Bai Shuang's attitude was indifferent. "City Lord, there's no need to be so polite. I was just passing by and took advantage of the situation."
The city lord quickly ordered his servants to prepare a banquet to welcome Bai Shuang.
During the dinner, Meng Wan was extremely enthusiastic towards Bai Shuang, toasting her frequently and speaking with gratitude and admiration.
Bai Shuang had an indifferent expression, occasionally raising her glass in response, with a hint of coldness in her demeanor.
After the banquet, the city lord arranged the best guest room for Bai Shuang.
Meng Wan personally escorted her to the door and said with a smile, "Senior, please go to bed early. If you need anything, just let me know."
Bai Shuang nodded: "Thank you."
After Meng Wan left, Bai Shuang closed the door and the smile on her face gradually faded.
This time, we have gone from secret to open, and we will no longer be able to follow Meng Wan's itinerary in the future.
However, she is now Meng Wan's savior, and her strength is strong enough. Perhaps she can take this opportunity to get close to the little princess of the Suzaku clan.
Meng Wan returned to the room, closed the door, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
She could feel that one of the several auras that had been following her was missing.
She deliberately acted recklessly and took risks, and indeed, she successfully lured out a "tail".
However, she knew in her heart that it would not be easy to cut off the exposed tail.
But since Bai Shuang was exposed, even if she was his savior, it was impossible for him to stay with her for twelve hours.
Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door.
Then, the city lord's voice rang out, "My lord, I'm here to bring you medicine for your injuries."
Meng Wan collected her thoughts, put a smile back on her face, turned around and opened the door, "The City Lord is so thoughtful, please come in."
The city lord walked in with a bottle of top-quality healing medicine. He glanced around the room inconspicuously, and finally landed on the wound on Meng Wan's shoulder, and spoke with concern.
"How are your injuries, sir? I specially brought this elixir from the warehouse. It's very effective in healing injuries."
Meng Wan took the pill and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, City Lord. This is just a minor injury."
After delivering the medicine, the City Lord didn't rush to leave. Instead, he tentatively asked, "Sir, may I know the origins of Senior Bai Shuang? Her cultivation is unfathomable. I'm sure she comes from an extraordinary background, right?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Wan just shook her head blankly.
"I don't know either. Senior Bai Shuang said she traveled here and saved my life. As for her bloodline and identity, she didn't mention it, so I didn't ask too much."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the city lord's eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "I see. However, it is a blessing for you to meet such a powerful person."
Meng Wan smiled and didn't respond.
Seeing that he could not get any information out of him, the city lord stood up and said goodbye, "Please rest early, my lord. I will not disturb you any more."
She was about to leave when she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked casually, "By the way, my lord, why hasn't the male companion I sent you here been around for the past few days? Is he not to your liking?"
Hearing this, Meng Wan said calmly, "He committed a crime and I dealt with him."
The city lord's eyelids twitched, and the smile on his face froze.
“I see… Since he doesn’t understand the rules and has violated the noble’s taboo, there’s really no need for him to live.
I have many other male companions of different styles. If you don't mind, I will send a few more tomorrow for you to choose from."
Meng Wan showed an interested look, "Okay, then I'll trouble the City Lord."
The city lord quickly smiled and said, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. As long as you like it."
After saying that, she turned and left. The smile on her face disappeared instantly the moment she closed the door, replaced by a hint of coldness.
