Minglong

Chapter 123 The Seller of Jiazi Lotus!
As the Yang poison attacked his limbs and bones, Nangong Ye felt as if he were being burned by fire. When he saw Xie Jinhuan coming to protect him, he trusted the 'righteous knight' and stopped paying attention to things outside himself.

But just as she was struggling to suppress the potent poison, she suddenly noticed a surge of icy energy coming from in front of her.

The vital energy is like a gentle breeze in a blazing inferno; though a drop in the ocean, it cannot extinguish the raging flames, but it can still alleviate the burning pain, making one subconsciously want to pursue and obtain it. And then:
"Eh eh eh?!"

Xie Jinhuan had just waved his hands twice when he noticed the black-clad female warrior sitting cross-legged in front of him suddenly leap forward like a mother leopard pouncing on her prey. She grabbed his hand with her right hand and his shoulder with her left, slamming him to the ground!
Thump~
Next, they forcefully extracted Qi. Xie Jinhuan and Mu Yunhong put their palms together, feeling as if they were pressing down on the inlet of a high-pressure water pump with one hand. It was estimated that their Dantian Qi Sea had even started to swirl!

Realizing something was wrong, Xie Jinhuan tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't, and had to stop circulating his internal energy.

But the black-clad female warrior pressing down on him was incredibly domineering!
Upon realizing it was gone in just a few hits, his hands instantly crackled with bluish-white lightning, and he began to shock him...

Stab la la——

"Hiss~ No no no no—?!"

Xie Jinhuan felt as if he were being pressed down by a 'black Pikachu', his body trembling violently from the electric shock. He quickly circulated his internal energy and continued to channel his qi.

The woman in black then stopped the physical punishment and continued to extract the icy energy he had transformed...

? !
Xie Jinhuan was quite shocked, and after recovering, he was filled with rage!

After all, he's not a pushover; he's always the one taking people away from him, never the other way around.

Now that he's being beaten, humiliated, and sexually assaulted, he still doesn't dare stop. What a humiliation this is!
"Mu Yunhong! You crazy woman... wake up!"

The woman in black showed no reaction, but methodically extracted the essence.

"Hey? I'm just..."

Xie Jinhuan opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could do.

Ye Hongshang, who was squatting nearby watching the show, comforted him upon hearing this:
"She's going through a tough time right now and really needs this. You should take good care of her and try to get through this. Maybe you'll end up with a great wife for free."

Xie Jinhuan knew that Mu Yunhong might have done it unintentionally, but she was still quite dissatisfied.

After all, I'm giving it to you, so you can take it.

I won't give it to you, you can't just take it from me, and you definitely can't hit me...

If you beat me up, I'll give you what you want. Does that mean I, Xie Jinhuan, am a spineless coward?
Xie Jinhuan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and stopped circulating his cultivation technique again.

The next instant, lightning crackled from the black-clad heroine's hands:
Stab la la——

It's even heavier than last time!

"Oh my god..."

Xie Jinhuan gritted his teeth, filled with resentment and anger after being electrocuted!
Although he quickly replenished his breath, how could he resist? His gaze shifted to the full, supple full moon behind his waist, and he picked up the mace sheath:
Snapped--

The mace sheath, like a ruler, struck the taut black cloth, causing ripples and tremors. Because of the sweat, even a little water vapor was shaken up!

"You crazy woman, you think I wouldn't dare hit you? Come on, why don't you electrocute me?"

The woman in black showed no reaction to this.

?

Xie Jinhuan saw that spanking Mu Yun's red bottom was useless, so he had no choice but to lie on the ground and breathe, his eyes filled with a sense of despair, just like a humiliated young hero.

Huhu~
The warehouse was completely silent, save for the swirling air.

After an unknown period of time, the black-clad female warrior lying on top of him gradually lost her body temperature.

Xie Jinhuan was also almost completely drained of his Qi, and seeing this, he called out again:

"Hello? Mu Yunhong? Hello? Hello?!"

"call……"

After suppressing the rampant Yang poison within his body, Nangong Ye's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his consciousness gradually returned to his mind.

Upon hearing the call in his ear, Nangong Ye was initially bewildered. But when he realized the solid body beneath him, his expression froze, and his breath caught in his throat!

what happened?

Why should I press down on this child?

……

Xie Jinhuan, who had been shouting angrily, was shocked to find that the black-clad female warrior on his body had suddenly stopped breathing. He initially thought she had died suddenly, but his heart skipped a beat.
"The Heroine Mu? Miss Mu?"

wow-

Before she finished speaking, the woman in black sprang up with the speed of lightning, grabbed her sword along the way, and instantly regained her upright posture!

Xie Jinhuan looked up and saw Mu Yunhong carrying a single sword on her back, exuding an otherworldly and aloof aura. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with calm composure, and she resembled a female sword immortal perched atop a mountain peak.
"Are you OK?"

Her clear, ethereal voice carried a hint of concern for those in lower positions.

?

Xie Jinhuan was stunned when he saw the expert's demeanor and eyes, thinking to himself:

Is it alright if I get my money back?
If you hadn't forcibly pinned me down and bullied me for so long, I would have thought I had fainted and you had revived me!

How did you manage to take the initiative and not feel awkward at all?
Could it be that you've been practicing your posture and deportment since you were three years old?
Xie Jinhuan sat up abruptly, scrutinizing the large, icy figure who exuded an aura of superiority, his eyes flashing with annoyance:
"I was fine at first, but you ruined it for half a day, and now I'm in trouble. What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?" Nangong Ye, dressed in a black dress and carrying a single sword on his back, displayed the flawless demeanor of an ancestor.

But a hint of embarrassment in his eyes still caused a few cracks in his otherwise icy aura.

Faced with Xie Jinhuan's veiled mockery, Nangong Ye remained composed, showing no sign of distress, and simply responded calmly:

"Thank you. It was an emergency, and neither of us had any other choice. Please don't take it to heart. The path to immortality is long, and we will part ways someday. I must take my leave now..."

"Eh?"

Xie Jinhuan noticed that this chivalrous woman, who didn't recognize him after putting on a dress, immediately stood up and spread her arms to block his way:

"You're just leaving?"

Is Nangong Ye just waiting to die if he doesn't run away?
The dignified head of Zihui Mountain was pinning down and humiliating the young hero. If word got out, would she still be able to maintain her standing in the old ancestral circle?
Originally, Nangong Ye did not want to reveal his identity for the time being, but after this incident, he was too ashamed to do so.

Seeing Xie Jinhuan blocking his way, Nangong Ye, with his sword behind him, considered his options briefly:

"You want an opportunity?"

What opportunity do I need?

Xie Jinhuan thought this female knight-errant had lost her mind, so he spread his hands and said:

"I'm slaying demons and monsters, what are you doing here?"

"Also, did someone secretly try to silence us just now? Where are they?"

"How am I supposed to continue the investigation if you leave without saying a word?"

Nangong Ye blinked his sharp, intelligent eyes and explained calmly:
"I was wandering around this area at night when I unexpectedly encountered a powerful demon bandit. I only saw many ghostly figures, making it difficult to determine his exact identity..."

"You mean you didn't even see the person clearly before you were beaten up like this?"

Xie Jinhuan looked at him with disdain, and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

? !
Nangong Ye took a slight breath, causing the hem of her black dress to billow high, like a rapidly inflating hot water bottle, but she did not show any anger:
"I've been poisoned and my movements are impaired, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape. As for clues, I'll help you investigate. I'll let you know as soon as I find anything. Goodbye..."

"and many more!"

Xie Jinhuan stepped aside to block her path, carefully examining the stunningly beautiful female knight-errant:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Hey?"

Before he could finish speaking, the black-clad female warrior in front of him gracefully bent down, slipped under his arm, and leaped out of the house with fluid movements and lightning speed.

Call ~
Xie Jinhuan even tried to grab his arm, but couldn't hold on. His eyes widened in surprise and doubt, and he chased after him to the door, calling out loudly:

"You just leave like that? Weren't you going to give me this opportunity? You have no conscience, do you? Mu Yunhong?!"

There was no sound outside the door, not a soul in sight.

"Hey?"

Xie Jinhuan searched the courtyard, then leaped onto the wall, only to find that Mu Yunhong was nowhere to be seen, leaving him bewildered.

"This girl's cultivation level seems to be more than three ranks."

Ye Hongshang stood beside him, carrying a red umbrella, and hesitated for a moment:
"Indeed, she's more than that; it's entirely possible she's already reached the first rank. Hmm... This girl is poisoned and definitely needs the Rejuvenating Herb. Her presence near the East Market suggests she might be the seller of the Jiazi Lotus!"

"what?"

Xie Jinhuan was startled and turned around:

"Does that mean she tricked me out of the antidote at the music store and ran away without even showing her face?"

Ye Hongshang shrugged slightly and teased:

"You were the one who insisted on flirting with her, how can you say you lied? She was secretly following you, probably to see if you had any 'resurrection herbs'."

Xie Jinhuan suddenly realized something was wrong, put his hands on his hips, and felt that something was probably not right.

He didn't have any resurrection herbs, so the only way he could get something for nothing was to use his silver tongue to exchange for the 'secret method' provided by the ghost.

As a result, Mu Yunhong got her hands on the antidote, but didn't give him the medicine!

And just now they drained his mana bar, and didn't give him any opportunities!
He spent all that time only to slap someone's butt. Isn't that a huge injustice?

Xie Jinhuan had spent his whole life exploiting fellow Daoists, only to find out in the end that he had been exploited by them. How could he bear it? He immediately wanted to find Mu Yunhong and use his skills honed over the past ten years to trick the Jiazi Lotus back.

Now he only hopes that the home address 'Fengyi River, Suyunzhai' is not fake.

If he couldn't find her, he would have to draw hundreds of "missing person notices," writing down the righteous young hero's humiliation and the details of it all on paper, and then post them all over the capital and even the capital city, hoping that this heartless heroine would come out on her own!

Hopefully things won't escalate to this point...

As Xie Jinhuan pondered this in secret, he sped along the houses.

However, before they had gone far, they saw flames rising around Yip Sai Wing's residence, and large groups of soldiers patrolling the streets, indicating that all the officials had arrived.

As the sole investigator on the case, Xie Jinhuan obviously couldn't leave without giving any notice. So, he headed straight for Ye Shirong's residence to hand over the case before settling accounts with Mu Yunhong...
