After reading the book, I picked up the heroine’s script for cultivating immortality

"what--"

A shrill scream cut through the dawn, and not long after, officials and soldiers from the capital arrived.

Looking at the corpse deep in the alley with its heart ripped out, the expressions of those people were a little solemn.

This is already the eighth heart-rending case in this period, but not even a hair of the murderer has been seen.

The emperor was furious and ordered the case to be solved within a short period of time. As a national advisor, Ye Junhan was also very busy these days.

It wasn't that he wanted to meddle in other people's business, but that he sensed that there was something fishy about these recent heart poking cases, so he took the initiative to get involved in this matter.

Ye Junhan's current body is actually not his real body, but an illusion made of a thousand-year-old sacred tree. Inside it is just a wisp of the man's soul.

People in the upper world don't care about the affairs in the lower world, but Ye Junhan's heart cares about Mu Nanxi, so he separated a ray of soul.

But since he had already ascended, there was no suitable body in the lower world, so Ye Junhan made a special trip to Wutong Forest before looking for Nan Xi.

He begged Elder Wutong for a piece of thousand-year-old sacred tree, and transformed it into a body for the spirit to live in.

Getting back to the topic, Ye Junhan leaves early in the morning and comes back late every day, but Nan Xi has been left out in the cold these days.

But before Nan Xi got married, she was not favored in the house and developed a particularly sensible temperament.

So even though she hadn't been reunited with Ye Junhan for several days, she didn't complain at all.

However, just because she didn't tell him, it didn't mean that Ye Junhan didn't know, so that day, the man took his young disciple out of the palace.

Sitting in the carriage leaving the palace, Nan Xi seemed very happy. She couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.

Ye Junhan looked at his little disciple with rare joy on his face. Nan Xi had seen enough and lowered the car curtain.

"Jun Han, where are we going?"

"You've been bored in the palace these days. How about my husband taking you boating?"

When Nan Xi heard that he was going rafting, she immediately became interested. She nodded hastily and approached the man affectionately.

"Jun Han, you are so kind to me."

Ye Junhan's eyes were gentle and he unconsciously rubbed the top of Nan Xi's head with a big hand, "As long as Xi'er is happy."

Soon, the carriage stopped by the largest lake in the capital. Ye Junhan got out of the carriage first and turned around to lead Nan Xi down.

Seeing the beautiful scenery by the lake, Nan Xi became visibly happy. In the past, she was locked in a side courtyard and was not allowed to go out.

She didn't even think about the opportunity to go out for a boat trip on the lake like this. Now that she could go out with Ye Junhan, she was naturally very happy.

Seeing his little disciple's happy expression, Ye Junhan felt a little pain in his heart and held him in his arms.

"If Xi'er likes it, my husband will often take you boating in the future."

"Well~ Jun Han, where is our ship?"

Ye Junhan hugged Nan Xi and boarded a boat on the shore. After getting on, the boatman began to row the boat.

Nan Xi was inevitably a little excited when she was boating on the lake for the first time. She sat on the edge of the boat and kept looking out.

Ye Junhan ignored her and sat at the table drinking tea. Nan Xi looked here, then there, and then walked to the bow of the boat to look at the scenery.

Nan Xi looked at the beautiful scenery around her on the deck, but she didn't know that she was also the scenery in other people's eyes.

Ye Junhan was just sitting there quietly sipping tea. Suddenly, his eyes turned cold and he appeared beside Nan Xi.

Before she could ask any questions, she raised her hand and waved her palm in the air. Nan Xi looked at the direction of the man's wave in surprise.

Was there a flash of black energy there just now?

"Jun Han..."

Thinking that his little disciple was frightened, Ye Junhan gently coaxed him, "Don't be afraid, your husband is here."

Nan Xi knew that the man had misunderstood, but this was not the time to talk about it. Her hands tightly grasped the man's chest.

"It was just..."

Ye Junhan frowned. This black energy was silent and silent. If he hadn't been at a high level, it would be difficult to detect its existence.

And just now, the target of that black energy was clearly the person nestled in his arms at the moment.

The aura around the man was getting colder and colder. He didn't know that the black aura was treating his young disciple as the next target.

Or...the original target of that black energy was the young disciple.

Ye Junhan was not stupid. He immediately thought of the ninth reincarnation of his disciple. It seemed that someone was targeting Mu Nanxi.

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate Mu Nanxi's chance of waking up.

Mu Nanxi is Ye Junhan's reverse scale. Anyone who touches it will die!

The man's eyes gradually turned golden, and a golden mark loomed on his forehead.

But when Nan Xi looked up, Ye Junhan still had the same dark hair and black eyes, and there was no mark on his forehead.

Because a dangerous situation occurred during the boating trip, Nan Xi no longer wanted to have fun, so she begged Ye Junhan to leave.

Ye Junhan, who had always doted on his little disciple, naturally would not refuse, so he ordered the boatman to row back.

After the two landed ashore, they hurried back to the palace. Ye Junhan personally sent Nan Xi back to Zhaiyue Pavilion, said he had something to do and left.

Ye Junhan went to Yan Luochen and Nangong Li and told them about someone who wanted to harm Mu Nanxi.

Hearing that Nan Xi was in danger again, Yan Luochen and Nangong Li looked at each other, but there was no trace of surprise in their eyes.

Ye Junhan's eyes grew colder, "Are you hiding something from me?"

The pressure of the people in the upper world is not something Yan Luochen and Nangong Li can resist now, even if the Demon Lord is very strong.

"Actually, we have long suspected that someone wants to prevent the little girl from waking up, but this person... doesn't have a clue yet."

After Yan Luochen finished speaking, Nangong Li glanced up at him subconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Well, it's true...as the Demon Lord said."

Nangong Li did not say anything about her suspicion that Yu Menghuan was the real murderer, just because she was not sure whether Yu Menghuan had anything to do with it.

I thought, with Ye Junhan's protective character, if he knew that this matter was related to Yu Menghuan.

Maybe Yu Menghuan would really die. If she later learned that it had nothing to do with her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"But don't worry, Immortal Lord, Nangong Li will try his best to protect Xi Xi!"

Ye Junhan glanced at Nangong Li indifferently, "No need, I will protect my people."

After saying that, the man turned around and left. Nangong Li and Yan Luochen looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, Nangong Li slowly spoke, "Lord Demon Lord, I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it."

Yan Luochen looked at Nangong Li and nodded slowly, "Ask."

After thinking again and again, Nangong Li decided to ask out his concerns.

"If...one day, you find out that the person who wants to harm Xixi is Yu Menghuan, what will you do, Demon Lord?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Luochen fell silent, while Nangong Li kept staring at the man's face. A long, long time passed, and the man still didn't speak.

Nangong Li looked away and took a deep breath, "Demon Lord, there is no need to answer, I understand."

With that said, Nangong Li turned around and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped without turning around.

"No matter what the reason is for Demon Lord to protect her, I have only one sentence: If she harms Nan Xi, I will not let her go.

I just hope that by then, Demon Lord will not be our enemy. "

It was self-evident who "she" and "we" were in the words. Yan Luochen didn't speak, but just watched Nangong Li walk away.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting the corners of Demon Lord's bright yellow clothes. Yan Luochen raised his head, looked at the sky, and exhaled a long breath.

"This is the first time I have been threatened by a little girl. Tsk, what a treasonous act."

Although he said this, his tone was not sullen at all, but rather relaxed.
