Following the handsome silly boy, Zhu Jiu saw people coming towards him with torches and umbrellas in the distance.

Tall, short, fat and thin people emerged from the dense forest like ghosts.

They looked comfortable and friendly. Zhu Jiu discovered that half of them were ordinary people, and the strongest of the remaining ones did not exceed the Jindan stage, and their overall strength was not high.

Their clothing and weapons were not elaborate, they wore dark armor designed for convenience and lethality. The faces of men, women, young and old had toughness etched on them, their muscles were well-developed, like cheetahs ready to pounce.

They looked like soldiers from the city who often dealt with monster crises, but the composition of these soldiers was very strange.

Zhu Jiu secretly kept it in mind.

When the two sides met, they both looked unhappy.

After they saw Zhu Jiu and the other person clearly, their expressions of surprise faded away and they stared at Zhu Jiu warily, even a little scared.

Compared to Feng Zhiyi who was blinded by lust and had great skills and was bold, their first reaction when they saw Zhu Jiu was - a female ghost?

Feng Zhiyi saw this group of people, without any joy on his face, and asked in a serious tone, "Why are you here?"

As he spoke, his brows were stern, his eyes were like torches, and he looked around vigilantly.

"The group of monsters just retreated. If you rashly leave the city, you may encounter an accident if you are discovered. Besides, the city has also been lost."

Upon hearing this, one of them turned his suspicious gaze away from Zhu Jiu and said with concern, "We saw that the young city lord had entered the Ningyinggang and had not returned for a long time. We were afraid that you were ambushed, so we chased after you."

Ningyinggang is the place where Zhu Jiu met Yue Shangshuang. To be more precise, it should be called Dead Infant Gang.

This place is gloomy and no one usually comes here. But if someone comes here, it must be because someone has given birth to a stillborn baby, which is unlucky. The baby will be burned and buried in Ningyinggang behind the city.

This is also the important reason why Zhu Jiu was almost disappearing and still couldn’t find a suitable body.

The good news is that there is a dead person. The bad news is that it is ashes.

Zhu Jiu was laughing at himself in his heart, but the man didn't stop talking, "There is a city lord in the city, so he can handle it for a while if something unexpected happens."

"Besides, the poisonous miasma is coming soon. Monsters are always afraid of this thing and dare not attack. Nothing will happen."

Hearing about the poisonous miasma, everyone's faces tensed. They looked into the depths of the eerie Ningyinggang and saw an ominous fog quietly gathering around them.

Wherever it passed, it swallowed up the earthen mounds and graves. The scene was like the gate of Fengdu opened and hundreds of ghosts were about to parade.

Creepy.

Even the Jialan people who have lived under the poisonous miasma for many years could not help but have a look of fear in their eyes, and said in disgust: "Young City Lord, let's go quickly. If we are infected with this poisonous miasma, we will not be able to sleep well at night."

Feng Zhiyi pursed his lips unhappily, his bright eyes darkened a little, and he nodded.

The group originally planned to go back quickly... but found that they couldn't go any faster.

At first glance I found that they were all female ghosts of unknown origin... No, it was the woman who caused the trouble. She walked slowly and unsteadily with every step. She looked pretty, but she was really slow.

And their beloved young city lord, who always refused to walk when he could fly a sword, always kept his steps steady, and always acted when he said he would, now had a proud look on his face, took small steps, and selflessly held an umbrella for someone.

When passing by a mud puddle, they would even eagerly offer a hand to others for support.

Zhu Jiu shook her head. Her leg injury was only half healed. It hurt when she raised her leg and pulled on the wound. She really didn't want to make herself suffer when it was not necessary.

The Jialan soldiers, who had been through thick and thin, frowned as they watched. What kind of pretentiousness was this, of a delicate young lady?

One person couldn't help but sneer in a low voice: "Oh, this little princess on the run has ended up in this poor and remote place in the mountains. Don't you know that the young city lord hates weak soldiers the most...?"

Before she finished the last word, Feng Zhiyi looked at Zhu Jiu with clear eyes and smiled brightly, "It's okay, you can just go around it." It seemed that the young ladies outside were very particular about their manners.

This was what Zhu Jiu had originally planned, so he walked in another direction.

Feng Zhiyi followed beside him holding an umbrella. He was a cheerful young man on weekdays and didn't let any rain touch Zhu Jiu at all.

The two of them walked by themselves in the drizzle, one was tall and outstanding, the other was slender and soft, they were a perfect match as if they were alone.

Zhu Jiu asked a few questions from time to time, and Feng Zhiyi, who was listening attentively, had red ears and shining eyes.

If you don’t know, you might think the question is “Are you going to sleep tonight?” instead of “What’s your name?”

Everyone inside and outside the screen: "..."

They were like passing dogs that got kicked.

The rain was sour and smelled rotten.

Some people are so poor that they only have one umbrella for two people.

……

Outside the screen, Ji Qi is indeed a genius special effects master. The backs of the two people riding under the same umbrella are circled in the shape of a heart with pink petals.

Colorful captions: If you never leave me, I will stay with you through life and death.

Everyone covered their stomachs that were causing acid reflux: "..."

The fellow disciples' eyes once again pierced through Feng Zhiyi's umbrella.

Chu Yi smiled wryly: "Tsk, no wonder I've never heard Jia Lan Sword Immortal mention his relationship with the Evil Emperor. It turns out that I don't think it's worth much, so I can't bring myself to talk about it."

Feng Zhiyi hid under the umbrella to escape from himself. Hearing this, he raised the umbrella and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence without confidence, "Didn't my senior and junior brothers never tell stories?"

It wasn't a very destructive statement, but Jueya and the others were all strangely silent, even Chu Yi and Wenren Sejue kept their mouths shut.

Not really.

Everyone looked gossipy, as if they had discovered some blind spot.

Xi Lingyi couldn't stand it anymore. She came here to judge the Evil Emperor, not to see "his romantic past".

……

within the screen.

The Jialan people were very angry. Who was this wild woman who appeared in the wilderness?

A strong woman walked up to the two men in a bad mood, "Young City Lord, this girl is not from Jialan, right? How come she ended up at Ningyinggang in the middle of the night, covered in blood?"

Aunt Lin wanted to remind Feng Zhiyi that Jialan City was a remote and lawless city that was half-abandoned by the Jiling Empire. Apart from the presence of ferocious monsters, it was neither beautiful nor rich, nor had any mineral resources, so no one would come here.

Unless someone has eaten his fill and has nothing to do, or is running for his life.

What's more, this girl looks like she has had a blood accident. This is a big trouble! Hurry up and find out what happened, and then throw it away.

Feng Zhiyi also understood this. He frowned his heroic brows, a look of heartache flashed across his eyes, and he smiled like an optimistic little sun.

He said to Zhu Jiu in a clear voice: "Our Jialan City is a quiet place, and everyone is very friendly. You can rest assured and stay here to recuperate."

"I don't have much to do on weekdays. People in the city often ask me for help. If you need anything, feel free to come to me!"

Aunt Lin looked confused: "..."

You're not reliable except when you're killing monsters, but aren't you just running around and causing trouble on a daily basis?

Glancing at Feng Zhiyi, Aunt Lin raised her hand to comfort the anxious comrades behind her.

She still did not give up the treatment and said earnestly: "Young City Lord, have you heard the story of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian?"

Feng Zhiyi's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

"Then do you think that Nie Xiaoqian, the sinister, weak, white-clothed ghost girl, is worthy of such an outstanding young man like Ning Caichen?" Aunt Lin said in a pretentious tone.

Zhu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Feng Zhiyi frowned and shook his head decisively. Aunt Lin and the others felt that there was hope and were about to make further efforts when they saw Feng Zhiyi raise his sword-like eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Nie Xiaoqian must be paired with a hero like Yan Chixia who punishes evil and eliminates evil!"

"..."

“Hahaha…” Seeing that everyone was looking at her viciously, Zhu Jiu covered her mouth apologetically and drooped her eyelashes, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh.”

When Feng Zhiyi saw Zhu Jiuxiao for the first time, he was stunned with amazement. Then his handsome face turned even redder and he started to smile too. His smile was as clean and refreshing as the breeze.

Everyone felt despair: Oh no, a high-level female ghost.

This will surely fascinate the young city lord to death!
