When the scales on Mi Xin's body were attacked, Luo Zheyu felt it.
He took the clam monster away, opened the stone door where the monster had imprisoned the four women, left a few words, and hurried away.
The four women looked at each other in confusion.
Luo Zheyu told the four women that they were free, the clam monster could no longer trap them, and the stone door had been moved open. If they were willing to wait for him to come back and take them out of the city, they could wait here. If they did not believe him, or had other ideas, they could swim through the cave entrance and leave on their own.
The clam monster had found a lot of food for them, so it was no problem for them to survive for two or three days.
The red dragon grabbed the clam monster, swam upstream of the river, returned to the waterfall, changed into a human form, and ran quickly towards the direction of Bicheng.
The clam monster was naturally unwilling to follow him. It kept thinking about escaping and howling from time to time, saying that it was about to die of thirst on the shore.
Luo Zheyu remained unmoved and dragged the clam shell across the ground, making a clanging sound.
…
"I remember you. You went into the city with the demon during the day."
Tan Linfei looked at Mi Xin and said.
"What about the demon?"
Mi Xin sat on the chair, holding the old monkey and staring at the big hole in the floor made by the centipede, without saying a word.
"He abandoned you and ran away? Or...was he the one who brought the man and the demon here?"
Upon hearing this, Mi Xin raised her head and glared at him with a stern face.
"If you can't speak, shut up. Who do you think you are? Do you think I know you well? What happens between me and Brother Yu is none of your business!"
"Hmph, if my senior sister and I hadn't arrived, you would have been eaten by the monster by now." Tan Linfei was not willing to be outdone.
"Thank you. I appreciate your help, but that doesn't mean you can fart randomly. Besides, even if you didn't come here, I would be fine."
Mi Xin held the golden-red scales in her purse, feeling very confident.
She had never learned to read or write, and her speech was not elegant, but she was not ashamed to speak out and dared to say whatever she thought.
Tan Linfei had a sullen face and wanted to say something else, but a white hand patted his head and rubbed it a few times.
"Junior brother, please stop talking. I'm clearly doing a good deed, but you're making me your enemy."
"Hmph." Tan Linfei turned his head to the side.
"I was just warning her not to let the demon trick her into leaving nothing behind."
The man dressed as a scholar sighed slightly. Although he disagreed, he didn't say anything else.
"He" leaned over, winked at Mi Xin, and whispered:
"Don't worry about what he says. He is stubborn and only sees things in black and white."
Knock, knock, knock.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Tan Linfei and his senior sister looked at each other, and Mi Xin also looked towards the door nervously and expectantly.
It's a monster.
He opened his mouth silently.
The senior sister gave him a soothing look, signaling him not to act rashly, and said towards the door, "Come in."
The door opened and a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a burly build, sharp eyes and a murderous aura around him walked in.
The people in the room became alert, and Tan Linfei even put his hand on the sword and pulled it slightly.
"Ying Li from Wansheng Hall in Bicheng will be in charge of guarding this area tonight."
As he spoke, he held up a wooden sign and showed it to the people in the room.
The rectangular wooden sign was not even as big as a palm, and a few simple lines were outlined on the front. When Ying Li spoke, red light flashed on the lines, and the word "Eagle" could be vaguely seen.
Upon hearing this, Tan Linfei's eyes narrowed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, his senior sister, who knew his character well, took a step to the side, stepped hard on his left foot with her right foot, and rolled over it, full of warning.
Since the junior fellow apprentice regarded monsters as enemies, the master was unwilling to tell him too much about Bicheng. He only hoped that he could see with his own eyes, get rid of prejudices, and not rush to chop down monsters as soon as he saw them. Therefore, Tan Linfei knew nothing about Bicheng.
"So you are Brother Ying from Wansheng Hall. I have long admired you and heard that you are extraordinary and brave. After meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."
The senior sister bowed and blew awkwardly, and Tan Linfei's face turned black.
"You're too kind. You're a beautiful girl with intelligence and beauty." Ying Li replied coldly. They complimented each other and he could tell at a glance that she was a woman.
"I wonder what's up Brother Eagle?"
"I let those two little thieves get away. Come and ask about this girl."
The senior sister pulled Tan Linfei out of the way, but the latter seemed to be born on the ground, not moving an inch, his eyes still staring at Ying Li.
"...Xiao Lin'er, be obedient." The senior sister gritted her teeth and shouted softly. She placed her hands on Tan Linfei's waist, pinched a small piece of soft flesh, and rotated it 180 degrees.
The latter failed instantly and was pulled aside with a stiff expression.
Ying Li walked forward and sat on the stool opposite Mi Xin.
A pair of eagle eyes stared at Mi Xin.
"What's the girl's name? When did you come to town? Are you alone?"
"Mi Xin, I came to the city yesterday with Brother Yu. He...he is the same as you."
Hearing this, Ying Li looked at Mi Xin a few times. When he approached her, he indeed sensed a strong demonic aura from her.
"Monster? Where is he now?"
"You came to the inn with me last night and stayed in the guest room next door. I don't know where you are now."
Mi Xin lowered her head and looked at the old monkey.
The old monkey looked up at her, then suddenly looked away and reached for the teapot on the table.
"I see that you are not a cultivator, but do you know why those two thieves came to arrest you?"
"I don't know, but..."
Mi Xin recalled that after waking up, she heard the conversation between the giant centipede and the short man.
"They mentioned 'master', as if they were taking orders from someone else. They also said they wanted to capture me and take me back to be a member of some large formation. Because I had the scales given by Brother Yu on my body, they didn't dare to do anything. I was too scared at the time, and that's all I remember."
"Think about it carefully. Is there any other information?"
"Others... Oh, by the way, they also said that the formation will be activated on the day of the lunar eclipse!"
…
"Oh, the young master is really back, but he is reluctant to leave his sister?"
When Luo Zheyu dragged the clam monster back to Bi City, Sister Mei'er was still guarding the city gate.
"Why do the monsters in Bi City attack ordinary people for no reason?"
He ignored Sister Mei'er's question and asked expressionlessly.
His eyes were colder than usual.
"Of course not. I've already told you that in Bi City, even monsters must abide by human laws."
As Sister Mei'er spoke, she twisted her hips and walked towards me in a charming manner. Her slender and bright fox eyes were extremely charming. Her slender and white fingers gently brushed the loose hair beside her ears and tucked it behind her ears.
The clam monster that was being dragged on the ground stared with its eyes wide open.
"Young Master, where did you catch this clam monster? How did he anger you?"
When the clam monster heard this, he felt that it was an opportunity. He could beg and complain, telling them how he had rescued the brides from the water with compassion and how he had taken good care of them. They didn't have to work, and only had to wait for delicacies to be delivered to them every day. How could there be such a good life in the world? He had done good things, but now he was being beaten and arrested, and his life was in danger.
However, all the excited words that he had prepared, before they could be uttered, froze in his throat as the young man in red turned around and gave him a cold look with his golden eyes, and he couldn't utter a single word.
"They spread lies to confuse the people, pretending to be river gods, and tricking the villagers into sacrificing brides for the river gods. There are currently four of them, all of whom have been imprisoned in the cave."
Sister Mei'er's eyes were slightly cold. She raised her hand and looked at her slender fingers, her tone of voice was charming and seductive.
"Wow~ You're so brave..."
"That's great. Come with me to Wansheng Hall and take him with you."
"Take him away."
After Luo Zheyu finished speaking, he threw the clam monster away, and before Sister Mei'er could react, he quickly left the city gate and headed towards the inn.
"Hey! Where are you going!" Sister Mei'er stomped her feet, watched the river clam monster hesitate for a moment, picked it up in the other's extremely complicated eyes mixed with many emotions, and flew to catch up with Luo Zheyu.
"Do you really think that Bicheng is a place where you can come and go as you please?"
"That's not the case, it's just that the little girl traveling with us got into trouble."
Luo Zheyu replied.
