Zhang Yuan felt a flicker of embarrassment when he saw the golden Pixiu.
Jia Zheng continued in a serious tone, "This Pixiu has been with me for many years and contains my powerful magic. Ordinary evil spirits and monsters dare not approach it."
Even if we're not there, this Pixiu will protect your home and keep you safe and sound!
Jia Zheng spoke eloquently, describing an ordinary Pixiu statue he bought from a roadside stall as if it were a powerful magical artifact.
Zhang Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and tried to interrupt several times, but was eventually dissuaded by Jia Zheng's look.
When Zeng Houyi heard that there was such a powerful magical artifact that could solve the problems that had troubled his family for a long time, he was overjoyed and held the golden Pixiu in his hand with great delight.
The three chatted for a while on the sofa in the living room on the second floor. Zeng Houyi, feeling the effects of the alcohol and having not slept well for the past week, was overcome with drowsiness and fell asleep on the sofa.
The young maid helped Zeng Houyi to his room to rest, and then she also went to her room to rest.
In the living room, only the wall lamps emitted a dim light.
A slightly drunk Jia sat on the sofa for a while and started snoring, leaving Zhang Yuan alone to meditate and cultivate quietly.
Time passed second by second.
Outside, the city night was peaceful and serene. Inside, nothing strange happened; there were no eerie footsteps, no unusual curtain movements, and no terrifying demons or monsters appeared.
Just when Zhang Yuan thought the night would end like this, around 3 a.m., something unexpected happened.
Behind Zhang Yuan, a huge, orange-yellow, furry face was quietly approaching. It was the face of a fox, as big as half a person.
The giant, furry fox face, with a sinister smile, slowly approached.
Zhang Yuan sensed something approaching from behind and suddenly opened his eyes.
Inside the room, the wall lamps cast a dim light.
Outside the window, darkness enveloped the city, leaving only a few scattered lights. Jia Zheng was still fast asleep, snoring loudly.
Through the reflection in the living room glass, Zhang Yuan saw a huge, furry monster face quietly approaching from behind him in the living room.
His heart skipped a beat, and he secretly kicked Jia Zheng.
"Master Jia, wake up!"
Master Jia turned over and actually fell asleep again.
"What an idiot!"
Zhang Yuan cursed inwardly.
Just then, Zhang Yuan saw through the glass that the giant fox face behind him suddenly pounced on him. He immediately rolled over and hid in Jia Zheng's direction.
The giant fox face missed its target and was furious!
Zhang Yuan got a clear look at that hairy face.
Weird, sinister!
A fox face with fluffy orange-yellow fur and a row of sharp teeth!
A fox mask, half the height of a person, floated in mid-air, baring its teeth at Zhang Yuan.
The sudden appearance of such a strange face in the middle of the night terrified Zhang Yuan. Fortunately, he was protected by his true yang energy and was not afraid of these ordinary demons and evil spirits. Otherwise, he would probably have been scared out of his wits by now.
Zhang Yuan's noise finally woke Jia Zheng up. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jia Zheng complained rather unhappily, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? You're keeping me awake!"
As soon as Jia Zheng finished speaking, a huge, ghostly fox face appeared before him.
Its enormous mouth and sharp teeth looked as if it could bite a person's head off in one bite!
Before Jia Zheng could react, the fox-faced creature bared its teeth and charged at him.
"ah!"
"Help!"
Just as Jia Zheng was about to be bitten by the eerie fox-faced creature, Zhang Yuan grabbed a chair from the hall and slammed it down on him.
"Bang!"
The bizarre, half-human-sized fox face disappeared.
Jia Zheng leaned back on the sofa, panting heavily, cold sweat pouring down his face, and his heart rate gradually slowed down from 200 beats per minute.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
"That scared me to death!"
After the fox-faced creature was hit by the chair, it turned into a wisp of green smoke.
Wisps of smoke drifted through the living room, resembling the graceful figure of a woman, while melodious laughter echoed from within.
Come on!
Come and play!
"I'm so lonely all by myself..."
Amidst the melodious music, wisps of smoke transformed into a young and graceful ancient woman.
The woman was incredibly beautiful, her blue dress as thin as a cicada's wing, revealing her graceful figure in a way that was both alluring and subtle.
She waved her bare arms, beckoning Zhang Yuan and Jia Zheng to come over and play.
Jia Zheng stared at the beautiful woman, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, and exclaimed in a daze, "What a beautiful woman!"
I'm going over there to play, to play..."
The melodious female voice seemed to possess a powerful allure; every time the woman spoke or waved, Zhang Yuan would get a headache and experience a moment of disorientation.
"Hey bro, wanna play together?"
"I wish..."
After the sexy woman in the green smoke acted coquettishly for a few moments, Zhang Yuan also fell for her. Just like Jia Zheng, he was bewitched and walked towards the woman in green.
One step, two steps, three steps!
No matter which way they went, they couldn't get close to the woman in green.
Unbeknownst to them, Zhang Yuan and Jia Zheng had already left the villa's hall and walked outside. In the darkness, one after the other, their eyes glazed, they slowly left the villa.
The early spring midnight was still a bit chilly.
Jia Zheng kept saying, "I'm here, I'm here," as he followed the woman in green. Not far behind, Zhang Yuan also followed suit, looking dazed.
Suddenly a cold wind blew by, and Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shiver and wake up.
"Um?"
How did I get here?
Ahead, Jia Zheng was still shouting incoherently, "Beautiful lady, wait for me! Wait for me!"
He walked forward, chuckling to himself.
Zhang Yuan looked around, but there was no beautiful woman in green. The midnight was empty, with only the cold wind blowing. He instantly understood.
"They've been bewitched."
"Depend on!"
"Master Jia, come back quickly!!"
Zhang Yuanchao shouted from the front in the darkness.
Jia Zheng seemed completely oblivious to Zhang Yuan's shouts and continued walking forward in a daze.
Zhang Yuan called out a few times, but Jia Zheng walked further and further away.
Zhang Yuan glanced at Jia Zheng, who was shrouded in profound illusions, then looked at the villa behind him, and finally decided to go back to the villa first.
This charm can bewitch people's minds, but for now, there seems to be no danger. The real danger may come from the villa behind us.
Who exactly is causing this trouble, and what is their purpose?
Tseng Hou-yi may be in danger!
Zhang Yuan ran quickly through the darkness, through the iron gate of the villa that had been slightly ajar, and back into the villa.
The wall lamps on the second floor were still dim. Zhang Yuan held his breath and used his "Heavenly Eye" to scan the surroundings, but found nothing unusual in the entire villa.
"wrong!"
Something was wrong with Zeng Houyi's room. He sensed a red aura, the aura of a demon.
"They hid it so well!"
Zhang Yuan rushed over, pushed open Zeng Houyi's room door, and saw a scene that made him gasp in astonishment.
In the dimly lit room, Zeng Houyi held the waist of a young and beautiful maid, sucking on her face and neck. The maid's originally neat updo was now disheveled, falling naturally and making her look even more charming and alluring.
Her clothes were disheveled, and she struggled to break free.
"Hey, let me go!"
"Let me go!"
Zeng Houyi's iron-like arms held the maid tightly, preventing her from leaving. At the same time, wisps of yang energy flowed from Zeng Houyi's body into the maid's.
The midnight moonlight shone through the window into the room.
By the moonlight, Zhang Yuan saw this awkward scene. He was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "What kind of monster are you? Let go!"
Zhang Yuan's loud shout, imbued with true energy, startled the maid and Zeng Houyi.
Startled, the two separated.
Zhang Yuan rushed forward, ready to capture the maid.
But after the pretty maid dodged Zhang Yuan to the side, she fled towards the window, attempting to escape the villa. Zhang Yuan suddenly found himself holding a yellow talisman.
The sealing talisman was thrown out and stuck to the glass before the maid jumped out of the window. Instantly, a faint halo filled the entire room, as if the room was wrapped in a membrane.
The sealing talisman sealed the room. The maid crashed into the glass and bounced back, letting out a scream.
Zhang Yuan stepped forward again to capture him.
Under the moonlight, several phantom figures could be seen moving rapidly in the room!
Zhang Yuan's body moved faster and faster until it was almost invisible!
He was using the tiger demon's extremely fast movement technique, the Azure Cloud Step.
This is a movement technique he recently comprehended from the mysterious gold foil on the tiger demon's body!
The Qingyun Step technique is extremely advanced. Zhang Yuan has only grasped it to a basic level, and his speed has almost doubled compared to before!
However, it is still far inferior to the speed of the tiger demon.
However, Zhang Yuan was already very satisfied!
Zhang Yuan used his movement skills to the extreme. No matter which direction the maid ran in, Zhang Yuan could always appear in front of her in time and block her way.
After several failed attempts to escape, the maid was knocked away by Zhang Yuan with a single palm strike and captured by him.
"What kind of monster are you?!"
