The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 216: An unexpected encounter?
Late at night, the owners of the closed shops in the town had been let out. They were all at home, still open for business, but their eyes were dull and their movements were like puppets.

Xiaojiu brought a few little demons and transformed into mortal forms, occupied a shop, and pretended to be the boss to sell things.

Qu Si Ning, Shang Jing Yu and other tourists who were detained were also released. The mess on the street was cleaned up, some people rested wherever they were tired, and some people were still shopping as usual during the day.

It was late at night and the shops were still open. They also deliberately let people like Qu Si Ning and Shang Jingyu wander around the streets, obviously to lure out Xia Yu and Luo Fan from the dark.

They were sure that Xia Yu and Luo Fan would be hungry and go out to buy food. Even if they could bear it, seeing their friends wandering around the streets like wooden men in the middle of the night, they would not be able to resist saving them.

However, after losing the marriage bracelet, Xia Yu's wound healed slowly, and her magic was not enough. Her magic was like a band-aid applied to the wound, and on the surface it seemed that the immortal energy was no longer lost, as if it had healed, but in fact it had not.

Not only did she lose her magic power, but her injured arm was basically immobile. Once the wound was moved, her spiritual energy would continue to be lost. If she remained motionless, the wound would slowly heal within three days.

Luo Fan came out while Xia Yu was sleeping to find out what was happening outside. When he saw Qu Si Ning and Shang Jingyu, he wanted to call them but held back.

He knew that was the "bait" used by the monsters to catch them. He didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only hide and sneak into a sparsely populated and inconspicuous shop to steal some food, and then hurried back to the dark alley where they were hiding.

After checking again and again that no one was following him, Luo Fan came to Xia Yu's side. He took out the bag he carried with him from a basket next to him and put the few matcha cakes he had just stolen into it.

Xia Yu was very smart. His clothes were stripped off and his bag was thrown on the ground. He had forgotten about the bag, but she remembered to take the bag with her when she ran away.

Unfortunately, their cell phones had no signal in this town, so they couldn't contact anyone. Just in case, Luo Fan simply turned on the "flight mode" for both phones, fearing that the monsters would find their phones and call them.

Xia Yu's face was a little pale. She was sitting on the ground, leaning against an old broom and falling asleep. Luo Fan wanted to hold her in his arms to make her warm and comfortable, but he remembered her instructions before going to bed not to move her injured arm, so he had to sit quietly beside her.

……

Just as day broke, Luo Fan was awakened by a slight noise.

He suddenly opened his eyes and actually... actually saw Xia Yu sleeping with a man!!
The man was wearing rags, his long yellow hair was like rockets, his face was dirty, and he looked like a beggar.

This image...he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Luo Fan wanted to wake the man up to prevent him from taking advantage of Xia Yu, but then he thought that Xia Yu might sleep more comfortably with a human pillow, so he kept silent.

"Ah..." The man suddenly woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he yawned for a century. When he was about to stretch, he found a woman leaning on him.

"What the hell is this..." (I didn't have a chance to finish the last few words.)
"Keep your voice down!" Luo Fan suddenly covered the man's mouth with one hand, worried that the sound of his voice would attract those little demons.

The risk factor during the day is much higher than at night. The originally dark alley is now bright, making it more difficult to hide.

"Um……"

The man nodded slowly, indicating that he would speak in a low voice, and Luo Fan let go of his hand.

"No... yes..." The man slowly tidied his messy hair, touched his beard, looked at Luo Fan carefully, and finally asked like a sloth: "Who... are you... ah...?"

Luo Fan was confused. How could this person speak as if he were slowing down eight times? Then he thought that this person might be a disabled person with a congenital defect. He had to respect him and not laugh.

"My name is Luo Fan, who are you?"

"I am……"

At this time, Xia Yu also woke up with a frown. The first thing she realized was that there was someone behind her. She turned around suddenly and was stunned.

"Junk Star?" "...Shao..." Jinx was about to introduce his name in the mortal world, but he spoke too slowly and Xia Yu beat him to the punch and revealed his true identity.

Sweep...jinx?

Upon hearing this, Luo Fan compared the man in front of him with the image of the "jinx" in the TV series and found that they were exactly the same.

Next is the conversation between Xia Yu and Jinxing:

Xia Yu: "You jinx, why are you here?"

Jinx: "...Go up..."

Xia Yu frowned: "Why are you talking like that? What happened?"

Jinx: "... string..."

Xia Yu (anxious): "Who is Shao Shangxian?"

Jinx finally realized that the woman in front of him was Xia Yu, and he felt a little happy.

“…little…fairy…” The subsequent parts are omitted: “Why are you here? Long time no see. I’m so glad to meet you” etc.

There was no other way, Xia Yu simply asked all the questions she wanted to ask at once, and then waited for Jinx to explain word by word.

"Little fairy, come, eat some cake and listen slowly. He may not be able to answer you in an hour, so let's eat first. In case someone comes, we can escape." Luo Fan said as he took out a piece of matcha cake from his bag and put it into Xia Yu's mouth.

Xia Yu was eating the sweet cake, and was surprised. She asked with a smile: "Where did you get the cake? I remember there were only a mobile phone, a power bank, and toilet paper in the bag."

Seeing Xia Yu's surprised expression, Luo Fan suddenly replied mysteriously: "To be honest... I secretly learned magic from the God of Land, and I made this cake out of toilet paper."

"Really?" Xia Yu was shocked. A mouthful of cake felt like it was stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it.

"Of course it's fake." Luo Fan said with a smile: "Even if I want to learn, the God of Land may not be willing to accept me as his apprentice!"

"Then..." Xia Yu swallowed a bite of cake with confidence, then looked at the cake handed to him by Luo Fan, took it in one bite, and waited for his explanation.

"Last night, while you were asleep, I went out to take a look, to find out some information, and by the way... stole some cakes." Just after he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Xia Yu would misunderstand, he added: "But, I will definitely return the money for these cakes to the boss in the future. Now is an extraordinary period, so..."

"I know." Xia Yu smiled.

The two of them ate some cake and seeing that no one had discovered this alley for the time being, they stopped and listened carefully to what the jinx said.

"This jinx..." Luo Fan looked at him carefully, and suddenly asked Xia Yu curiously, "Is he really the same as in the TV series? Whoever meets him will be unlucky?"

This one...

Xia Yu thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say, you can only try your luck. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're unlucky..."

"How powerful is his magic?" Luo Fan asked again. He really hoped that his magic was powerful enough to take them away from here!
"Just... a little taller than me." Xia Yu said with a smile.

Her words were true. Broom Star had practiced for a lot longer than Xia Yu, a full 300,000 years, which was longer than the seven princesses. Unfortunately, his comprehension was limited, and although he had practiced for a longer time than the seven princesses, his actual magical power could not be compared with others.
