"You may come in now."
The literate guards carefully wrote down the information reported by Tan Linfei, and after confirming the authenticity of the identity card of the other party's villa, they let him enter the city.
Before leaving, he warned:
"Please do not cause any disturbance in the city. If something like what just happened happens again, don't blame the government for being ruthless."
Tan Linfei lowered his eyes slightly and frowned into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
"Xiaohong, come here."
He waved to the brown horse standing far away outside the city.
The brown horse stamped its front hooves, hesitated left and right, and snorted twice, showing great reluctance.
Upon seeing this, Tan Linfei put the fingertips of his right hand into his mouth and blew hard.
"Shh~"
A loud whistle sounded.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
The brown horse heard the whistle and walked towards this side reluctantly, gradually changing to a trot.
Tan Linfei led the brown horse into the city.
Pedestrians were coming and going, and the sounds of vendors shouting could be heard everywhere.
People wearing all kinds of clothing styles can be found everywhere. They speak with different accents and their manner of speaking is different from that of the people in Bicheng. They blend into Bicheng and form a delicate balance.
They are all recent outsiders.
He closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
The strong demonic aura from before has disappeared without a trace.
People have their own aura, monsters have their own aura, and the atmosphere in the city is very chaotic. It seems that there are other monsters, and there are quite a few of them, but they are very vague. They have their own ways to hide their own aura.
Before coming here, the master had reminded him that the situation in Bicheng was special and asked him not to act impulsively. Tan Linfei was confused at first and didn't know what he meant, but now he finally understood.
The local people are accustomed to seeing people with strange eyes, a large number of monsters gather in the city, and all kinds of people mix together.
It is chaotic and dangerous, with turbulent undercurrents hidden beneath the surface calm and harmony. In such a place, you always feel that your life may be in danger at the next moment.
It should be said that it is worthy of being the city bordering the Yanlong Jedi.
He doesn't like it here.
Monsters are different from humans. They are bloodthirsty, cruel, cunning, and full of lies...
No exceptions.
Tan Linfei will never forget what happened.
A pair of hands suddenly covered his eyes from behind.
"Young man, guess who I am? If you can't guess, I will eat you!"
An old male voice sounded from behind.
But the palm covering my eyes feels delicate and warm.
Tan Linfei hung his hands, expressionless and unmoved, but his frown relaxed.
“Senior Sister…”
He removed his hand from covering his eyes.
"Boring, you guessed it right again." A tall, handsome "man" in green clothes, dressed like a scholar, walked around in front of him, and his voice turned into that of a young man.
"You should at least pretend to fail at least once."
"Senior Sister, why are you here?" asked Tan Linfei.
“As for me…”
The man in green swung the folding fan in his hand, and it opened with a "swish" sound. He smiled and said, "It's boring in the village, so I came out to play."
Going out to play? It's not like Senior Sister hasn't been to Bicheng and Yanlong Jedi before. That's not a fun place.
Tan Linfei knew that his senior sister came here probably because she was worried about him.
But... Logically, Senior Sister should have left later than me, so how could she arrive earlier than me...
"Come with me. I have found a suitable inn."
After saying this, the man in green took the lead, swaying from side to side, and gently fanning himself with a folding fan.
Tan Linfei followed, leading the brown horse.
"Come to think of it... Xiao Lin'er, you came out before me. How come you're here only now? Senior Sister arrived yesterday."
The man in green asked with his head tilted. When he smiled, two dimples appeared on his face and his eyes were clear and bright, like a pool of autumn water.
"...Nothing, I was delayed on the road." Tan Linfei cleared his throat and turned his head to look away.
His lips were slightly parted, without opening or closing, yet a very small sound came out.
"Senior sister, could you please stop calling me like that outside?"
The man in blue looked at him with a half-smile, not exposing the fact that the latter could not recognize the road and had to rely on a compass to determine the direction and walk in a straight line, but always ended up in a dead end because the roads were blocked. He just leaned close to his ear.
"Xiao Lin'er, did you say anything? Senior Sister didn't hear clearly."
Tan Linfei's ears turned red, he pursed his lips and said nothing, leading the brown horse and rushing forward.
"Hey, come back, I took the wrong way, go this way..."
The man in blue grabbed him.
…
"Take good care of this horse."
After entering the inn, the man in blue called the waiter and threw a piece of silver.
"Okay! Sir, don't worry, I promise to take good care of your horse!"
The two went up to the guest room on the second floor.
"Xiao Lin'er, you've seen the situation in Bicheng. Stop shouting about capturing monsters and rushing towards them whenever you see one."
"But monsters can harm people. There are so many people in the city..."
"Bi City has existed for a long time. These monsters did not just come here recently. Just relax."
"But……"
"No buts, Xiao Lin'er doesn't listen to Senior Sister anymore?"
Tan Linfei pursed his lips, frowned, and looked down at the floor.
The man in blue put his index finger between his eyebrows and poked it a few times with slight force until his wrinkled skin was smoothed out.
"Like a stubborn old man..." he muttered.
"It's getting late. You've traveled so far and it must be hard. Take a rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"...Okay, take a good rest, Senior Sister."
Everyone went back to their rooms.
Downstairs lobby.
"Today is the happiest day of my life, thank you, Brother Yu!"
Mi Xin was holding a bunch of things in her hands. As she walked into the inn, she turned back and smiled at Luo Zheyu.
Her eyes were curved like almonds, her full, rosy lips curved upward into a crescent shape, and her cheeks were slightly red.
She was wearing a goose yellow long skirt with the hem slightly lifted, and her black hair was half tied up and fixed with a golden plum blossom hairpin.
Bright eyes, white teeth, and smooth skin.
If Luo Zheyu hadn't been there to intimidate them along the way, many people would probably have pretended to "encounter" the beauty by accident.
"Just be happy."
Luo Zheyu, dressed in red and with golden eyes, followed behind, carrying even more things in his hands, of various sizes and shapes.
These are all Mi Xin’s “trophies”.
As long as she looked at it a few more times, Luo Zheyu would buy it.
This girl is very nice. Their reunion is short, and Luo Zheyu is willing to make her happier.
"Sir, you..." The waiter came over quickly and took the things from the two men.
"Stay in the hotel, two rooms."
"Okay! Please go upstairs, both of you."
Mi Xin followed him upstairs with a smile on her face, but from an angle where Luo Zheyu couldn't see, her eyes showed sadness.
Brother Yu is very nice, but she can't rely on him all the time.
After walking through half of Bi City today, Mi Xin carefully looked at the outside world, the people outside, and the rules outside. However, the more he looked, the more confused he became. He didn't know how he would make a living in the future.
There are many large houses here, and many people, which is very different from the people in other villages.
They don't farm or fish, but they have enough food and clothing...
Mi Xin didn't know what she could do.
…
"Go to bed early. Keep this close to your body and don't take it off."
Before entering the room, Luo Zheyu handed Mi Xin a palm-sized red scale, which was bright and lustrous with faint golden spots.
"This is……"
"Stay in your room and close the door. Don't open it no matter what's going on outside."
Mi Xin was puzzled.
Just then, the waiter came up with a basin of water and said, "Sir, you are right. After the night watchman starts the second watch, no matter what noise is going on outside, don't come out to join in the fun."
"Why?"
Hearing what he said, Mi Xin was a little scared.
"Hey, it's nothing, don't be afraid, sir. It's just an unwritten rule in the city. It's said that the dead come back at night and need to borrow the road, so they don't want to offend the living."
After the waiter finished explaining, Mi Xin became even more frightened.
"It's fine if you don't come out. It's just a rumor. In fact, the people in Bicheng sleep soundly at night! I even dreamed of eating a Manchu-Han banquet last night and was gnawing on a roast suckling pig. Hehe, it's a pity that when I woke up, there was nothing in front of me. I felt so empty inside."
The waiter made a sad and disappointed expression and said jokingly.
Mi Xin couldn't help but smile, put the scales given by Luo Zheyu into her purse, and carefully tightened the rope.
"See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
…
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The night watchman walked past the street beating a gong.
Second update.
The lights in the inn had long been turned off.
In the guest room on the second floor, a door opens from the inside.
With his red sleeves fluttering slightly, Luo Zheyu turned around and gently closed the door.
Squeak...
The old door hinges made a teeth-grinding sound.
However, the sound did not come from the door in front of Luo Zheyu, but from downstairs.
A ray of moonlight poured into the inn with the sound of the door opening.
Immediately following.
"What a coincidence! Is the young master going out to see me?"
A charming and seductive female voice came from behind, very close.
When Luo Zheyu turned around, he met a pair of provocative fox eyes.
The corners of her eyes are slightly red, her eyes are long and bright, and the light flows when her eyeballs move. The red at the corners of her eyes seems extremely gorgeous and alluring.
Every glance is a deadly poison that makes people indulge in it, heartbroken and unable to escape.
She was very close.
The tip of her small nose was almost touching Luo Zheyu's, and the breath she exhaled while speaking hit her face.
So close that I could smell the faint incense on her body.
"Are you looking for me?"
Luo Zheyu turned around without blinking and strode towards the stairs.
"Yes..." The woman jumped down from the railing in the corridor and followed Luo Zheyu. She had just hooked her legs on the railing to get close to him.
"But it will be hard for my sister to find it."
She twisted her hips and swayed her crotch, and even her walking posture was extremely seductive. Her pair of snow-white, smooth long legs were exposed to the air, and only a few pieces of gauze that could not cover anything were swinging back and forth, making people feel itchy and wanting to tear them off.
Although Luo Zheyu did not know how to conceal the evil spirit, the city was like a colorful dye vat. A splash of red fell in and blended in, no longer conspicuous as it was outside.
"What do you want me for?"
He asked, walked out of the inn's door, turned around and closed it.
"Oh~ My dear young master, you are so handsome. I fell in love with you when I saw you. I couldn't help but wait until late at night to play with you..."
As the woman spoke, she raised her red lips and moved her body forward, pressing towards the young man in red. Her bright skirt only covered key parts, leaving most of her chest, half of her shoulders and arms, and her two long legs, revealing her snow-white skin.
"Can you swim?"
Luo Zheyu walked on the street in the direction of leaving the city without even looking back, and suddenly asked a question that was completely unrelated.
The woman was also stunned and stopped sticking to him.
"What do you mean, young master?"
"You are a fox and I am a fish. It is impossible for us to be like this. Moreover, from a biological point of view, you are a mammal and I am an oviparous animal. There is reproductive isolation."
"?" The woman was at a loss.
"What's the meaning."
Luo Zheyu turned around, his slightly raised golden eyes were clear and shallow, naturally revealing a cold chill, and he said seriously:
"You should go back. My mother won't let me play with nursing monsters."
The woman opened her mouth and was suddenly speechless.
There's no way to respond to this.
But what should be done has not been done.
After holding it in for a long time, she somehow asked, "Are your parents both fish?"
After saying that, she realized that she had asked a stupid question, her face suddenly turned serious, and she said sternly:
"No matter what kind of fish you are, once you enter Bi City, you should abide by the rules!"
"What are the rules? Please tell me."
Luo Zheyu slowed down his pace, caught up with her, and asked seriously.
Seeing how sincere and obedient he was, the woman was speechless for a moment.
She originally intended to give him a warning.
The monsters outside Bi City are very different from the monsters inside Bi City. They are the real monsters, eating raw meat and drinking blood, killing living beings, and doing whatever they want. Even if they disguise themselves well on the surface, they are still full of ferocity in their hearts and are completely opposed to humans.
And Bicheng... is a special place.
"In Bicheng, you must be a 'human' and obey human laws."
"that's all?"
"...You are not allowed to fight with monsters in private, and you are not allowed to disturb mortals at will. All grudges must be settled in Wansheng Hall."
"Where is Wansheng Hall?"
"...the mansion next to the City Lord's Mansion."
The woman began to suspect that Luo Zheyu was an abnormal fake demon.
"I will obey. Can you tell me about the situation of the people and monsters in Bicheng?"
Hearing this, the woman's eyes rolled slightly, and she smiled again, saying in a frivolous tone: "It's okay to tell you. If you stay in Bicheng, you will know it sooner or later."
"But... kiss me now and I'll tell you~"
Luo Zheyu glanced at her, his eyes were calm and his cold and arrogant appearance remained unchanged.
He hooked his finger.
The other person narrowed his fox eyes and moved his face closer with a smile.
Luo Zheyu also smiled, his smile was not ostentatious, and was as gentle as the March sunlight, the melting ice and snow, and the spring breeze and drizzle.
His slender fingers touched the woman's face.
While the other person was stunned, he put his thumb and index finger together, pinched the white and smooth cheek and pulled it outward.
“Ouch!”
The woman covered her cheek and let out a low cry. Two red marks of fingers quickly appeared on her fair cheek.
With a few low chuckles, Luo Zheyu tapped his toes and quickly flew out. In the blink of an eye, only a shadow as small as a sesame seed was left, and only the words he left behind were still echoing in the original place.
"Sister, take a good rest. I will check it myself and won't bother you."
The woman stamped her feet in anger, and her body swayed, and a white fox fell to the ground, and it quickly alternated its limbs and chased after it.
