Lord Tianshi, please take your seat

Because Zhong Wanning was taking care of Xia Chuyu's soul and was weak from prolonged exposure to the sun, the two walked slowly, and finally arrived near Baiqu Town after three days.

But Zhong Wanning didn't enter the town in a hurry, but took a small path and detoured to a deserted village.

Xia Chuyu was puzzled: "Wan Ning, why don't we go into the town, you've been running around for days, you should take a good rest."

Thinking of this, Xia Chuyu became more worried. She was a soul body, so this was nothing. With Zhong Wanning's care along the way, Xia Chuyu was not weak, but Zhong Wanning, who Along the way, I always felt a lot thinner.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuyu's hand unconsciously climbed up to the thin face in front of him.

Xia Chuyu finally came to her senses when her hand was caught by a warmth, and she was not secretly angry at her stupid behavior just now.

Zhong Wanning didn't notice Xia Chuyu's twitching. Holding Xia Chuyu's slender wrist, she stared at the village not far away and said, "When my father asked me to go down the mountain, he said that this village is weird. This trip has delayed me a lot. It’s time, let’s go and see first.”

Withdrawing the wrist held by Zhong Wanning, she nodded lightly, the only trace of warmth dissipating from her body, Xia Chuyu couldn't help but lose her mind.

Looking down at Xia Chuyu who was distracted, Zhong Wanning said, "Let's go."

Nodding, the two walked towards the entrance of the village.

The road at the entrance of the village was a bit muddy. When the two of them walked to the entrance of the village, they saw abandoned houses of various sizes, some of which had collapsed, and some of which were crumbling...

The chain around her neck gave off a faint burning sensation, Xia Chuyu closed her eyes, raised her hand to stroke it, and did not make a sound.

Zhong Wanning raised her hand, and the compass appeared. The pointer on it pointed to the entrance of the village, and it swayed slightly from side to side, but she was not sure of the direction.

Xia Chuyu couldn't help wondering, did the compass fail?

Knowing that he was doomed to fail, Zhong Wanning turned over his hand and put away the compass.

Passed the umbrella in his hand to Xia Chuyu: "After entering, be sure to hold the umbrella securely."

Staring into Zhong Wanning's eyes, Xia Chuyu always couldn't see through them. Could there really be affection in those unwavering eyes?

Dispelling his untimely thoughts, he took the umbrella, nodded, and followed Zhong Wanning quietly, and the two entered the village one after the other.

As soon as she stepped in, Xia Chuyu felt a bit of coldness, which was completely different from the feeling of standing at the entrance of the village. Even if she was a soul body, she couldn't help but flinch.

Looking at the figure in front of him, still as straight as a pine tree, Xia Chuyu couldn't hold back, raised his hand and poked it.

Sensing the movement of the person behind her, Zhong Wanning turned her head: "What's the matter?"

The faint voice was calm, but Xia Chuyu felt that she was mocking herself at this moment.

Lowering her head, Xia Chuyu replied in a low voice, "No...it's nothing."

The cat-and-mouse game atmosphere between the two didn't last long, and the spirit bell on Zhong Wanning's waist began to jingle. Accompanied by the deserted village, it seemed more and more lonely, making people break out in a cold sweat.

Zhong Wanning squinted her eyes, and with her fingertips lingering in golden tails, she slowly stroked the Evoking Bell on her waist.

The two were silent for a while, and the village was even more dead silent, only the ringing of the bell was mixed with the sound of the wind, making it more immersive.

It took a long time for Zhong Wanning to suppress the soul-calling ringtone.

Xia Chuyu held up her umbrella and tilted her head in confusion: "Wan Ning, why are you doing this? The compass has failed. Isn't it easier for us to follow the ringing bell?"

Hearing this, Zhong Wanning didn't answer, but walked towards the depths of the village.

Xia Chuyu was stunned for a moment, but she simply didn't ask any more questions, and quietly followed Zhong Wanning with her umbrella in hand.

The road in the village was not easy to walk. Looking at Zhong Wanning's muddy shoes, Xia Chuyu felt inexplicably spoiled.

The money sword on the back seemed to feel something, and began to tremble slightly, because it was wrapped in white cloth, and the golden light couldn't overflow.

Looking at the changes in front of her, Xia Chuyu only felt sour in her heart. Thinking of the previous sword strike, she was a little scared and did not dare to approach Zhong Wanning, and stood there stupidly.

Stopping, Zhong Wanning glanced at the hilt from the corner of the eye, and the money sword suddenly became quiet.

"come over."

The cold voice called Xia Chuyu back, she looked at Zhong Wanning who was standing there, and let out a silly ah.

Sighing helplessly, Zhong Wanning walked towards Xia Chuyu, took the umbrella from her hand and wrapped it up for her: "Don't be distracted when you walk from now on."

"Oh." After rubbing her nose, Xia Chuyu replied lightly.

The two searched side by side in this deserted village, but they were surprisingly a little comfortable.

After searching for a long time without finding anything, just turning around and preparing to leave first, there was a creaking sound of the door of the small house next to it.The two looked at each other, and they both kept silent in tacit understanding, staring at the door...

"Sister!"

A lively voice came along with the sound of the door being pushed, and standing in the opened door were Luo Sheng and Ye Zhinan who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The tense nerves were relaxed, and Xia Chuyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The scorching heat on her neck disappeared without a sound.

Zhong Wanning obviously didn't expect it to be them, and her tone was a little bit taken aback: "Zhinan?"

Luo Sheng also walked over with a smile, held Zhi Nan who was bouncing around, and saluted Zhong Wanning: "Senior sister." At the same time, he also looked at Xia Chuyu who was beside her and nodded, "Miss Ah Chu."

Looking at the well-behaved Luo Sheng, Ye Zhinan curled his lips and saluted.

Looking at the compass in Luo Sheng's hand, Zhong Wanning asked, "Why are you two here?"

It was a coincidence that Luo Sheng and Ye Zhinan arrived at Baiqu Town in one step, but there was nothing unusual in the town. The two searched to no avail. In addition, Zhong Wanning and Zhong Wanning had not arrived, so they decided to come to this village to investigate first. After a while, unexpectedly, I happened to meet the two people who rushed over.

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, there is nothing abnormal in the village at the moment, and everyone plans to go back to the town to rest.

……

【Baiqu Town】

Compared with the deserted village, Baiqu Town is much more lively. There are vendors everywhere in the town, and people come and go.

Ye Zhinan looked at the crowd bouncing around. Behind him, Zhong Wanning took a look at the surrounding environment, and silently moved closer to Xia Chuyu.

"These days, there is something unusual in the town." After confirming that Xia Chuyu was fine, Zhong Wanning asked.

Luo Sheng shook his head: "It's strange to say that when Zhinan and I came to this town, it was always calm and there was nothing unusual."

"Is the message wrong?"

Glancing at Ye Zhinan who was not far away, knowing that she was still within his sight, Luo Sheng replied: "I have already confirmed this when I first came, and there is indeed such a thing. Originally, people in the town would close their doors at night. I can’t go out, but there is nothing unusual recently, and the talents in the small town have started to set up stalls.”

The two of them were chatting, and they had already arrived at the inn where Luo Sheng and the others rested.

Before he could speak, Ye Zhinan stood at the door of the inn and shouted: "Senior sister, here!"

Luo Sheng smiled helplessly, looked at Zhong Wanning who was holding an umbrella and said nothing: "Senior Sister, come with me."

Nodding, Zhong Wanning led Xia Chuyu into the inn.

After running around for several days, Xia Chuyu knew that Zhong Wanning was also tired, so she was sitting obediently in the room at this moment.

As night fell, Zhong Wanning was taking a bath behind the screen, and all her instruments were displayed on the table.

The lights flickered, and Xia Chuyu looked at the assortment of magical artifacts boredly. Zhong Wanning put a spell on them, and the magical artifacts would not hurt Xia Chuyu.

A gust of wind blew in, thinking that Zhong Wanning was taking a bath, Xia Chuyu was about to get up and close the window tightly.

The Qiankun bag on the table shimmered inexplicably. Xia Chuyu was attracted by this strange movement, and when she looked closely, she realized that it was a ghostly aura.

Except for the celestial master, only ghosts can see it.

Thinking of the wisp of black smoke that flew out of Zhang Hanyu's body before, Xia Chuyu put his hand on it.

The black smoke seemed to feel something, and it began to wrap around Xia Chuyu's fingertips, and was slowly inhaled by her.

Accompanied by these forces, Xia Chuyu gradually felt that her fingertips began to turn red, slowly extending...

Suddenly, the chain around the neck began to tighten, accompanied by the scorching heat, Xia Chuyu was out of breath. Sensing something strange, Xia Chuyu hurriedly wanted to withdraw her hand, but the black smoke was like two hands, pulling Xia Chuyu don't move.

Almost instinctively, the nails on Xia Chuyu's hands swelled, and ghost energy gathered in her palm.

Suddenly, there was a suction force behind her, and Xia Chuyu felt her body lighten, and she was carried by the chain and fell into a warm embrace.

"I told you not to mess with these instruments."

After taking a bath, her voice seemed to be a little clear, and Xia Chuyu didn't realize it until the coolness came from her neck.

Gently pushing Zhong Wanning away, Xia Chuyu lowered her head, her fingers had returned to their original shape at some point, and the red long armor had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Xia Chuyu in a daze, Zhong Wanning tapped her forehead: "What are you thinking?"

Shaking her head, she looked at Zhong Wanning who had just come out of the shower at this moment. The water stains from the tips of her hair dripped down, wet most of the front of her chest, and the wet clothes outlined a good figure in her abdomen.

After touching her face, which was unlikely to be hot, Xia Chuyu turned her head: "It's nothing, I... I'll wipe your hair."

"it is good."

Standing in front of the mirror, there was no way to reflect Xia Chuyu's figure in the mirror. From the outsider's perspective, the towel seemed to be controlled by someone, gently caressing her hair.

Weird, but also warm...
