The demon was caught off guard and was forced to retreat repeatedly by the sword energy, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

"who are you?"

The demon asked sharply.

Bai Shuang said nothing, just looked at it coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Bai Shuang, the demon became afraid and dared not fight any longer, so he fled into the distance.

Seeing this, Bai Shuang didn't even raise his eyelids, but the hand holding the sword suddenly moved.

In an instant, countless sword energies burst out from his body and swept towards the fleeing demons.

The overwhelming sword energy instantly caught up with the demon.

The demon's eyes were filled with fear, and he finally realized that he had hit a wall.

Seeing the demon struggling in the sword energy, Bai Shuang looked indifferent, as if he just waved away the dust.

She shook the long sword in her hand lightly, and the sword energy was as cold as frost, instantly crushing the resistance of the demon.

The demon let out a shrill scream, and its body disintegrated in the sword energy, turning into pieces of ice crystals and dissipating in the wind.

Meng Wan stood aside, the wound on her shoulder still oozing blood.

But her eyes were fixed on Bai Shuang, her eyes full of shock.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for saving my life, Senior. If you hadn't helped me in time, I would have been in great danger today."

Bai Shuang put away his sword, turned to look at Meng Wan, his tone still indifferent.

"It's just a small favor. You're welcome. I just happened to be here and saw you were in trouble, so I just wanted to help you."

When Meng Wan heard this, her admiration for Bai Shuang increased even more.

She immediately invited him, "Since you are passing by here, why don't you come with me to the City Lord's Mansion to rest for a while? I will definitely treat you well to express my gratitude."

Bai Shuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'll bother you for a while."

When Meng Wan saw Bai Shuang agreed, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

"Senior, please follow me."

The two walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Although Meng Wan was injured, she seemed to be in exceptionally high spirits and kept chatting with Bai Shuang along the way.

Bai Shuang looked indifferent, occasionally responding with a gentle yet distant tone.

In the dark, Chi Ying looked at the two people's receding backs with a frown on his face.

He was originally planning to take action, but Bai Shuang got there first.

However, Bai Shuang has a steady personality, and it is not entirely a bad thing for her to be exposed in public.

Half an hour later, in the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking uneasy.

She had already learned that Meng Wan had encountered revenge from demons outside the city, and was worried that something might happen to her.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by Meng Wan's voice.

"City Lord, I'm back."

The city lord hurried forward and was relieved to see that Meng Wan was only injured in the shoulder, but he still looked shocked.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Wan waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and then began to introduce herself excitedly.

"It's just some minor injuries, nothing serious. Thanks to Senior Bai Shuang for saving me, otherwise I would have been unable to escape today."

The city lord then noticed Bai Shuang behind Meng Wan. Seeing that she had an extraordinary temperament and the aura she exuded was not weaker than his own, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

When did such a master in the late stage of refining emptiness appear in this city?

The city lord smiled and clasped his fists, "Thank you for saving my distinguished guest in the city lord's mansion."

Bai Shuang's attitude was neither cold nor warm. "City Lord, there is no need to be polite. I was just passing by here and did it for the sake of convenience."

The city lord quickly ordered his servants to prepare a banquet to welcome Bai Shuang.

During the dinner, Meng Wan was particularly enthusiastic towards Bai Shuang. She toasted him frequently and her words were full of gratitude and admiration.

Bai Shuang had an indifferent expression, occasionally raising her glass in response, with a hint of coldness in her demeanor.

After the banquet, the city lord arranged the best guest room for Bai Shuang.

Meng Wan personally escorted her to the door of the room and said with a smile, "Senior, please go to bed early. If you need anything, just let me know."

Bai Shuang nodded: "Thank you."

After Meng Wan left, Bai Shuang closed the door and the smile on her face gradually faded.

This time, we can no longer follow Meng Wan's itinerary.

However, she is now Meng Wan's savior, and her demonstrated strength is strong enough. Perhaps she can take this opportunity to get close to the little princess of the Suzaku clan.

Meng Wan returned to the room, closed the door, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

She could feel that one of the several auras that had been following her was missing.

She deliberately acted recklessly and took risks, and indeed successfully lured out a "tail".

However, she knew in her heart that it would not be easy to cut off the exposed tail.

But since Bai Shuang was exposed, even if she was his savior, it was impossible for him to stay by her side for twelve hours.

Just then, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door.

Then, the city lord's voice sounded, "My lord, I'm here to bring you some medicine."

Meng Wan collected her thoughts, put a smile back on her face, turned around and opened the door, "The city lord is so thoughtful, please come in."

The city lord walked in with a bottle of top-quality healing medicine. He glanced around the room inconspicuously, finally landing on the wound on Meng Wan's shoulder, and spoke with concern.

"How is your injury, sir? I took this elixir from the storehouse specially. It has a miraculous effect on healing."

Meng Wan took the pill and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, City Lord. This minor injury is nothing serious."

After delivering the medicine, the city lord did not rush to leave. He asked tentatively, "My lord, I wonder what the origins of Senior Bai Shuang are? Her cultivation is unfathomable, so she must have an extraordinary background, right?"

Hearing this, Meng Wan just shook her head blankly.

"I don't know either. Senior Bai Shuang said that she traveled here and saved my life. As for her bloodline and identity, she didn't mention it, so I didn't ask too much."

A trace of disappointment flashed across the city lord's eyes, but he soon smiled and said, "I see. But it is a blessing for you to meet such a strong man."

Meng Wan smiled and didn't respond.

Seeing that he could not get any information from the city lord, he stood up and said goodbye, "My lord, please go to bed early. I will not disturb you any more."

She was about to leave when she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked casually, "By the way, my lord, why hasn't the male concubine I sent to you been here these days? Is he not to your liking?"

Hearing this, Meng Wan said calmly, "He committed a taboo and I dealt with him."

The city lord's eyelids twitched and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

“I see… Since he doesn’t know the rules and violated the noble’s taboo, there is really no need for him to live.

I have many other male favorites of different styles. If you don't mind, I will send a few more tomorrow for you to choose from."

Meng Wan showed an interested look, "Okay, then I'll trouble the city lord."

The city lord smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble. As long as you like it."

After saying that, she turned and left. The smile on her face disappeared instantly the moment she closed the door, replaced by a hint of coldness.
