Chapter 64: The Walking Dead.

Xuanniao and Shen Wanqing were dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Why is Puppy Xie so rebellious?

Did he run away from home just because he couldn’t sleep?

Before Shen Wanqing could react, she heard a series of heart-wrenching screams coming from all around the dense forest, followed by the sounds of intense fighting. Then a group of monsters began to wail and howl in a very rhythmic manner.

When the bird and the person arrived at the scene, the brave warrior Xie Wuyan had already pierced through the dense forest and was arrogantly barging into the old lair of the mountain monsters, starting a small skirmish.

The mountain monsters cried with their heads in their hands, “Why? Today I only ate a little white rabbit!!”

The entire forest was filled with crying.

“We’ve been very honest for decades. We just occasionally eat a few lost and dying people. We are already very well-behaved monsters.”

“He’s bullying us. Such a powerful person picking on small monsters! I just finished my breakthrough in seclusion and woke up, I’m just an ordinary little snake monster.”

“He even burned my little potted plant!”

For some reason, these monsters were crying miserably, and Shen Wanqing couldn’t help but think that they were the innocent ones, and she was the monster.

But after thinking about it, it was true. They didn’t provoke anyone and were beaten up for no reason. They were indeed pitiful.

So Shen Wanqing grabbed Xie Wuyan, who was preparing to destroy their nests, and advised, “Forget it, forget it. They clearly know they were wrong.”

Xie Wuyan stopped in confusion, looked at the blood on his hands, and then pointed to the group of monsters next to him.

Being pointed at by him, the monster shivered all over and then burst into tears, huddling together.

Xie Wuyan gently uttered two words, “Dangerous.”

…Obviously you are even more dangerous.

Shen Wanqing finally understood what it meant to lift a stone only to drop it on one’s own foot.

She coaxed and persuaded, dragging the person back. The mountain monster even quickly helped her find the carriage and arranged them in two lines, tearfully watching them off.

Suddenly, Shen Wanqing thought of something. “By the way, may I ask…”

“You may ask!” The monster, beaten just moments ago, immediately stood up straight.

“In Chitong Pass ahead, there’s a monster named Xia Qing. Does anyone know her origin?”

Xia Qing, the female banshee who attempted to seduce Ji Feichen.

Upon mentioning this name, the faces of the surrounding monsters changed.

“Immortal, Xia Qing is not a monster but a spirit.”

“A spirit?”

“Yes, a spirit is not a monster but a transformation that occurs in rare circumstances when a person undergoes a fortuitous change. This situation only occurs once every few hundred or even thousand years.”

Shen Wanqing had heard about spirits from the Cultivating Spirit Book.

Spirits cultivate much faster than humans and their methods are more ruthless. Their abilities are prone to violent outbreaks and difficult to control.

“A few decades ago, Xia Qing slaughtered most of the monsters in the dense forest and then went to Chitong Pass.”

Since then, the mountain demons in the dense forest have suffered heavy losses, which is why they have become what they are now.

Shen Wanqing thanked and pulled Xie Wuyan back onto the carriage.

She was unsure whether Ji Feichen was currently in Chitong Pass and at what stage the plot had developed.

She didn’t have much time left and couldn’t waste too long in Chitong Pass.

So Shen Wanqing decided to kill Xia Qing directly.

Sitting in the carriage, Xie Wuyan let out a big yawn.

Shen Wanqing immediately patted her own shoulder and said, “Please.”

Xie Wuyan obediently leaned against her.

Tired Shen Wanqing took out her small notebook where she recorded ‘Xie Wuyan’s wants and don’t wants’ and wrote a line on the first page: [Important reminder: Do not prevent Xie Wuyan from sleeping].

When they were approaching Chitong Pass, they could faintly smell a strong smell of blood.

Dark clouds enveloped the city, and the sound of thunder rolled, creating a particularly oppressive atmosphere.

“Demon hunter?” The guard lifted the curtain and took a look inside, his gaze sweeping over Xie Wuyan, who was wearing a cloak, then he smiled and spoke to Shen Wanqing, “Chitong Pass hasn’t been very peaceful in the past few decades, but there have been quite a few exorcists coming recently.”

“Recently?” Shen Wanqing asked, “Are there still exorcists coming here these days?”

“Yes, just a couple of days ago, a man and a woman, both immortals, came nearby and eliminated quite a few demons. They are said to be from the Xuantian Pavilion.”

It seems that Ji Feichen has arrived.

So Shen Wanqing inquired about the inn they were staying at.

Since Chitong Pass became less peaceful, there have been more people leaving than entering. The guards are also talkative, unable to stop talking once they start.

“By the way, is the person inside the carriage the girl’s friend? Why is he still wearing a cloak inside the carriage?”

Shen Wanqing glanced at Xie Wuyan, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder. She was about to speak when Xie Wuyan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his dark irises moved slightly.

Suddenly, he turned over and raised his hand, seemingly wanting to grab the guard’s neck.

“Wait!” Shen Wanqing quickly sensed his movement and swiftly held his wrist.

Although Xie Wuyan hadn’t reached out his hand yet, the guard was frightened by his cold gaze and quickly silenced himself, stepping back a few steps.

“Sorry, he… he recently had a confrontation with a monster and got injured, so he’s more cautious,” Shen Wanqing explained.

Xie Wuyan stared at the guard intently, clenched his teeth, like a lion protecting its master, ready to strike at any moment.

The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced a smile, “It’s alright, please go inside quickly. The city gate will close soon.”

It was only after the curtain was drawn and the carriage entered that Shen Wanqing released her hold on Xie Wuyan’s hand.

She had been mistaken.

Xie Wuyan’s obedience and compliance were only towards her.

Apart from her, he harbored strong hostility and a desire to attack towards almost everyone and every demon around him.

Xie Wuyan’s murderous intent in his eyes had not dissipated yet. His hand continuously tried to break free until Shen Wanqing held his face, forcing him to look into her eyes, gradually calming him down.

When Xie Wuyan’s soul disappeared, his physical body still remembered the ‘resistance’ and ‘unwillingness to die’ that he firmly held onto before leaving, so he instinctively wanted to kill anyone who approached him.

She couldn’t be sure of the exact reason why he was so obedient to her.

But considering the current situation, his violence would only become increasingly difficult to control.

Ordinary people could be fooled for now, but Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing were both intelligent individuals who would definitely notice something amiss.

The original plan was for her to pretend to be a demon hunter like them and have a conversation, then expose Xia Qing’s true identity and quickly eliminate the spirit together.

But now, it seemed better to minimize contact.

After some turmoil, Shen Wanqing stayed at the inn where Ji Feichen and the others were.

Since coming out of the Sealed Demon Cave, Xie Wuyan had become increasingly sleepy. Soon after entering the guest room, he fell asleep on the bed.

Shen Wanqing also noticed something.

At the beginning, in the Sealed Demon Cave, there were constantly fierce beasts trying to devour him, so those lingering thoughts in Xie Wuyan’s body always supported his unwillingness to die.

However, after leaving the Sealed Demon Cave, he no longer needed to fight for his life every moment. Gradually, the remaining consciousness became weaker.

His sleepiness was clear evidence.

Shen Wanqing stood up and looked at Xie Wuyan curled up on the bed like a child. His black hair was soft, his eyes tightly closed, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

She lowered her gaze.

If it continue like this, Xie Wuyan will really die.

Shen Wanqing sat on the second floor of the inn, munching on melon seeds, looking downstairs.

Sure enough, it was Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing.

Long time no see, it seems like the two of them have undergone significant changes.

Ji Feichen had injuries, and one could clearly see a long scar spreading from his neck, as if it had been whipped.

Feng Yaoqing was talking to the shop assistant nearby, standing straight, looking the same as before, but there was something different in her eyes.

The two of them had a look of “I have a story,” just standing there, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Following their gaze, Shen Wanqing saw Xia Qing.

The last supporting female character in the original book.

Just sitting there, she appeared extremely charming, with a blood droplet flower tattoo on her collarbone. One hand supported her cheek, and she looked towards Ji Feichen with a smile in her eyes.

Ji Feichen turned his head and said a few words to her, bowing his head low, as if whispering in her ear. Then, he chuckled a few times and lightly patted Xia Qing’s back.

Shen Wanqing was so startled that she dropped the melon seeds, instantly filled with anger.

For some reason, although the system seemed to have stopped the piercing headache alarm since that day, at this moment, she could almost hear the piercing scream in her mind.

She trembled with cold anger.

There is a kind of game where you play all day long, working hard to conquer the female protagonist. But just when you finally figured out how to win her over, the game crashed and all the progress was lost.

She glanced at Feng Yaoqing.

Feng Yaoqing acted as if she hadn’t seen anything, and even handed a glass of water to Xia Qing.

Shen Wanqing felt a sense of satisfaction.

Being completely oblivious is the characteristic of a female lead in a shuangwen novel1!

On the other side, Xia Qing chatted about something, laughing so much that her whole body trembled, then playfully pushed Ji Feichen and handed him a sachet.

And then…

Ji Feichen accepted it!!

Shen Wanqing’s heart turned cold.

But when she took a closer look, Shen Wanqing, who had experience as a flower courtesan, suddenly realized that the sachet handed by Xia Qing contained aphrodisiacs. Although the scent was very weak, with her current cultivation, she could still feel it instantly.

Then why…

Shen Wanqing frowned and looked at Ji Feichen.

Ji Feichen’s cultivation should not be weak, so why couldn’t he sense anything unusual about this sachet?

Could it be that he deliberately accepted it?

And at that moment, a waiter walked up to Ji Feichen, Feng Yaoqing, and whispered something in his ear.

The next moment, two people simultaneously looked up and had an exciting eye contact with Shen Wanqing, who was peeking from upstairs.

Shen Wanqing paused her action of cracking melon seeds.

After a brief moment of panic, she remembered that she was in disguise.

So she put down the melon seeds and pretended to smile generously at them, then prepared to leave.

Then the two of them were led by the waiter, clanking upstairs and stood neatly in front of her, staring at her without blinking.

Shen Wanqing: “?” Have I been recognized?

The next moment, Ji Feichen saluted with a fist: “Just now, I heard the waiter mentioning that besides the two of us, there are other demon hunters here. I didn’t expect to encounter fellow practitioners here. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Shen Wanqing: “…indeed unexpected.”

You guys are very enthusiastic.

“I’ve heard that in the past few years, almost every day, men and women are found dead here, their essence drained. I assume Miss came for this reason too?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You’re truly brave and righteous.”

“Well, indeed.”

“Do you not have any companions? Did you come alone?”

Shen Wanqing had a headache and was considering how to explain Xie Wuyan’s identity when suddenly, from the direction of Xie Wuyan’s room, there was a loud noise.

Oh, no.

When she rushed to the guest room, she found the entire door smashed. A waiter was lying at the corridor entrance, coughing up blood and trembling.

Feng Yaoqing quickly reached out to help him up and stabilized his pulse with her skills.

Xie Wuyan sat on the bed, eyes lowered, rubbing his messy hair. He raised his gaze, his eyes filled with coldness.

The surroundings were filled with voices.

To him, it was like monsters with hideous faces, surrounding him.

Visibly, his emotions seemed to be gradually losing control.

A strong sense of killing intent surged through his entire body, as if a bloody storm would erupt in the next second.

“Xie…” Shen Wanqing uttered a syllable but stopped, remembering something. She walked towards him, reached out, and held his head. “It’s all right now.”

However, Xie Wuyan’s emotions seemed to remain uncontrolled. His eyes were filled with a chilling glare, his whole body radiating heat, his chest heaving as if he was full of resistance.

Shen Wanqing didn’t let go, holding him tighter.

Xie Wuyan raised his hand and tightly grabbed her arm, as if trying to squeeze out blood.

Shen Wanqing crouched down, pressing her forehead against Xie Wuyan’s forehead, repeatedly soothing him and continuously channeling her spiritual energy into his body.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the people at the door were dispersed by Ji Feichen, and Xie Wuyan finally calmed down. He rested his head on Shen Wanqing’s shoulder, seemingly falling asleep.

Shen Wanqing raised her head and belatedly felt the burning pain in the place where Xie Wuyan had squeezed her.

The surrounding decorations and arrangements were all shattered by the powerful force that Xie Wuyan had just unleashed, leaving a mess everywhere.

“Miss, your companion is…”

The voices of Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing sounded behind her.

Shen Wanqing was tired now and hadn’t even thought about how to come up with a good lie to deceive the two of them. She rubbed her eyes and said, “He…”

“Was his soul taken away by a demon?”

However, Ji Feichen didn’t let her explain. Instead, he came up with a reasonable excuse himself, “In our clan, we have experienced such a situation before. The soul is taken away but the body remains alive. Under certain fortuitous circumstances, iit can lead to such a riot.”

Shen Wanqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing behind her, then nodded, “Hmm.”

“Don’t worry, I will explain it clearly to the people in the inn. We have some influence here these days, and they will understand,” Feng Yaoqing smiled and glanced at the wound on Shen Wanqing’s arm, “Let me treat your wound?”

Shen Wanqing remained silent for a while and then smiled, “Okay.”

In Ji Feichen’s clan, such a situation had never occurred.

They might have already recognized her identity.

The author has something to say:

I’m sorry, but this book was really difficult to write. The themes I wrote before are all modern and emotional, which is very different from this book, so the rhythm has not been well grasped and the plot does not know how to transition. Anyway, there are really many problems when writing. This book will still be very stuck in the middle, and the plot will always be deleted, deleted, and revised every day, but it will be finished before November, so you can wait until the 25th or so to read it.
