"No, I can't stay here any longer. I need to get away and lay low for a while until things calm down a bit after that idiot got struck by lightning. That bandit is riding high right now, and I can't afford to clash with her!"
Xue Bingling quickly made a decision. After packing up the valuables left by Bai Yusu, she checked out and left.
The handsome young man living across from Xue Bingling had been tracking her with his divine sense.
Knowing that Xue Bingling had checked out of the room, the young man turned to Song Huilan, who was meditating on the couch to recover her energy, and said, "It's time."
Song Huilan suddenly opened her delicate but lifeless eyes, a hint of resistance flashing in her gaze.
"Trust me, you'll love your new body," the young man said as he approached the bed, his cool gaze softening slightly.
Song Huilan met his gaze and, unable to resist, slowly extended her hand as the young man reached out to her.
Holding Song Huilan's hand, whose entire body was buried in her robes and hood, the young man calmly left Tongcheng.
Once outside the city, the young man mounted his flying sword and leisurely chased after Xue Bingling in the direction she had left.
Changing bodies is not something that can be done overnight, so it cannot be done in a place where people come and go.
He had to wait for Xue Bingling to take them to a safe place and make sure his men were safe.
Song Huilan stood behind the boy, her arms tightly wrapped around him, her face pressed against his back, feeling his body temperature which was lower than normal. She felt both happy and sad.
A body can be replaced, and memories can be sealed away, but does that mean those real events will cease to exist?
Her lord was such a noble and flawless man; he deserved the purest woman in the world.
Xue Bingling didn't know why, but the farther she was from Tongcheng, the stronger the inexplicable fear in her heart became.
She once thought that Ji Fengyao had sent people to kill her.
So she moved faster and faster, and her escape route became more and more secretive and secluded.
It wasn't until the handsome young man appeared before Xue Bingling, carrying Song Huilan hidden in his robe, that Xue Bingling suddenly realized what had happened:
It turns out that her enemy was never that bandit.
That night was indeed a dark and windy night, an exceptionally dark night rarely seen on the Danling Continent.
The mournful cries of foxes echoed through the silent, deserted forest, startling all the night birds and beasts into cowering in their nests, too afraid to move, their very desire to forage for food completely suppressed.
Ji Fengyao, carrying a large bag of freshly made, super-enhanced Drunken Golden Immortals, quietly made her way down the mountain with Xi Que.
The master and servant excitedly sneaked into the Jin Fu Inn in Tongcheng, only to find it empty.
After asking the innkeeper, they learned that Xue Bingling had checked out and run away shortly after returning in the afternoon.
"That vixen is really cunning. She guessed we were coming to cause her trouble, so she ran away early this morning," said Xique, disappointed.
"That's why they say she's a vixen," Ji Fengyao said, showing little interest.
To be honest, this was the first time she had ever gone out to rob someone, and she ended up empty-handed.
Just as the two were about to head back, they were reluctant to leave and silently circled around the Jin Fu Inn.
It's not that I expect to catch Xue Bingling by going around in circles, but rather that I'm following the principle of eliminating (thieves) and violence (unrest) and keeping the peace (empty). Since I'm already here, I might as well... just wander around.
Let's see if we can catch a bully (or pick up a bargain) or something.
You know what, there are plenty of good people in this world, but there are also quite a few bad people.
As soon as the two turned to the back of the inn, they saw a furtive figure carrying something inside.
