Minglong

Chapter 350 The Spider Cave?
Yanbo City, inn.

Standing at the window, Nangong Ye searched the city's night market and restaurants with his binoculars, but after a long time he still couldn't find any trace of coal, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Could it be that something happened to Xie Jinhuan, and Coal Ball sensed something and went to look for him?"

Bu Yuehua also searched at the other window, but Yanbo City was too large and shrouded in mist, making it difficult to find an eagle. Hearing this, she frowned slightly.

"That's possible, why don't we go look for it?"

"Let's wait for news. Xie Jinhuan is confident in his actions, but once we leave the city, we'll be responsible for our own lives. If something goes wrong, we'll just be a hindrance."

Bu Yuehua was not unaware of the risks involved in this trip, and seeing this, she could only wait and see. However, after waiting for a while, Xie Jinhuan and Meiqiu did not return from outside. Instead, a voice suddenly came from inside the room:
"Don't worry, Xie Jinhuan is fine."

Her mature voice carries a hint of fortitude, much like a queen who has long held a high position, giving people a sense of unquestionable authority.

Nangong Ye had no idea that anyone had come upstairs, let alone entered the house. He walked more than ten feet away from the two of them. Hearing the sound, he was terrified and quickly turned around, making a lightning hand seal. Bu Yuehua was also quite startled and reached for the hilt of her knife to look back.

An oil lamp was lit in the room, and on the table lay a pile of colorful bottles containing the aphrodisiacs Bu Yuehua had just concocted, labeled with words like "Azure Dragon Spitting Water Powder" and "Hoohoo Breast Enlargement Pills"...

A woman from a foreign land sat at the round table, dressed rather lightly. She wore a wide gauze skirt, cinched at the waist with a belt adorned with gold bells, revealing her extremely fair waist. Above that was a bodice with gold thread outlining a geometric pattern, showcasing her delicate shoulders and arms, which were then slightly covered by a thin veil.

Her cool yet extremely gorgeous clothes exuded a strong exotic charm. Her attire was similar to that of the Western Region women in the city, but what set her apart was her extremely noble gaze. At this moment, she casually picked up a herb and played with it, looking like a foreign queen inspecting the treasures presented as tribute from a foreign land. Both her appearance and temperament were worlds apart from those of women from the Central Plains.

When Nangong Ye suddenly saw this exotic beauty, he thought Xie Jinhuan's mistress had come to visit.

Bu Yuehua was taken aback for a moment, then, as if she had found her pillar of support, she stepped forward and gave a graceful bow:
"Senior, why are you here?"

senior?

Nangong Ye and the demoness had known each other for many years, and now their relationship was even closer, yet he had never heard of Bu Yuehua having such an unfathomable senior demoness from the Western Regions. His eyes were filled with doubt.

"Who is this senior?"

Empress Dowager Guo opened the small porcelain bottle, smelled it, and then quickly moved it away, realizing the smell was off.

"Shanze Sanren once taught her a few martial arts techniques in the Southern Frontier, so he can be considered her half-master."

Master...

Nangong Ye was genuinely surprised to hear this, and also felt a bit delighted.

After all, she lost miserably to the enchantress. The only thing she could laugh at the enchantress for was that she secretly set up a scheme and shifted the blame for "not even a mistress dared to do it" onto the enchantress. It wasn't a real victory at all.

If the demoness had three generations living together, then she would only have a master and disciple...

blah blah blah...

Nangong Ye, Nangong Ye, how could you fall so low!
……

Bu Yuehua clearly didn't notice the wicked Taoist nun's subtle expression. She simply strode forward and swept the messy room items into her medicine box, looking slightly embarrassed.

"I was just mixing medicine out of boredom. It was a clumsy attempt, and I hope you'll forgive my poor work, senior..."

Empress Dowager Guo had just taken a puff when she found that the smoke entering her lungs aroused her lust, and she even felt a desire to flirt with men. She didn't think these were her clumsy works.

If you were to polish the color with perilla leaves again, and then hide it in the most secure safe, waiting for some old devil who likes to take her things...

Jie Jie Jie...

However, it was clear that Empress Dowager Guo had not come to ask for medicine; she simply gave a peaceful response.

“Coal Ball just went to Bai Zhang Ze, and Xie Jin Huan will be back soon. I came here to talk to him about something.”

Nangong Ye sensed that this Hu woman was probably no ordinary person, so he went to the table to help pour tea.

"Senior, you also know Xie Jinhuan?"

"Xie Jinhuan is so famous, how could I not know him..."

Empress Dowager Guo sensed the demonic aura emanating from the dragon and knew that something was wrong with Xie Jinhuan. Therefore, she left a magical artifact with a tracking mark at the camp and quietly went to the Dragon Emperor's Cave in case Shang Laomo personally intervened and Xie Jinhuan was unable to handle the situation.

However, given her current situation, she didn't stand much of a chance against Shang Laomo. She could only do her best to escort Xie Jinhuan away, so it was best to remain hidden. After Xie Jinhuan returned with a little girl in his arms, she followed him back to the city and arrived at the inn ahead of time.

"I just checked on him. Xie Jinhuan is fine, but his companion has been poisoned by the Xuanjiao Dragon Poison and the Manluo Flower Poison, which is difficult to cure. You should prepare the Burning Bone Vine and Dragon Marrow Fungus in advance, as they should be needed for the antidote later..."

"Dragon Poison..."

Bu Yuehua knew how to cure the poison of the Mandarava flower, but she had only heard of the Dragon Poison in books and it was a blind spot in her knowledge. She didn't dare to delay and sent Nangong Ye to the market to buy the necessary medicinal materials. She closed her eyes and focused her mind to summon Wanyi so that she could go back and discuss countermeasures with Zisu.

While the three were exchanging a few words, a noise came from outside the room.

As soon as Nangong Ye put on his veiled hat and went out, he saw Xie Jinhuan, who was wrapped in a cloak, walking in with a woman in a veiled hat on his back and carrying a large burlap sack in his hand. Judging from its weight, it looked like a bandit who had just robbed and kidnapped women.

Xie Jinhuan cautiously entered the room and was startled to find a stunningly beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes sitting inside. He only looked at Bing Tuozi with relief after recognizing her as Sister Guo.

"Are you getting ready to go out?" Nangong Ye glanced at the woman behind him.

"I'm going to buy the medicine needed for the antidote. You take her inside first, I'll be right back."

"Oh……"

……

Ye Yunchi was lying on his back, and because the poison had penetrated his lungs and internal organs, and he had to suppress his breathing to avoid being discovered after entering the city, he was almost unconscious.

She thought she could finally relax after being carried to the inn, but upon entering, she saw three stunning beauties standing or sitting in the room, as if she had entered a spider's cave. Their scholarly faces looked rather bewildered.
"These are..."

"They are all my wings."

Xie Jinhuan noticed that his back was soaked with sweat. He didn't have time to explain, so he carried Senior Sister Naigua to the window and put her down. He then turned to Sister Bu, intending to ask for help, when he saw Sister Bu open her eyes and scan her surroundings.
"Huh? Why are there so many people?"

Xie Jinhuan could tell from the body language that this was Da Wanwan, and immediately greeted him:

"Senior Ye has been poisoned, come and take a look."

Lin Wanyi hurried forward. As she passed the flamboyant Western Region vixen, she was still a little puzzled. She politely nodded and greeted her before sitting down by the bed, covering her wrist to take her pulse. She then discovered that this female knight-errant was also a stranger...

?

what happened?

This scoundrel went out and hooked up with two new wives?

This is probably the Lady Ye that Zisu mentioned, a disciple of the Qingming Sword Manor, who is either her master, senior sister, or mistress...

Although she was full of questions, Lin Wanyi was driving her master's car and was afraid that saying too much would lead to mistakes, so she just silently checked her wrist.

Empress Dowager Guo was not skilled in medicine, so she did not join in the fun. She put down her teacup, got up, beckoned to Xie Jinhuan, and went to the next room.

Xie Jinhuan followed behind, his eyes taking in the sight of the red veil cascading down like a waterfall, concealing her slender waist and hips. Although her back view was extremely alluring, his heart was as hard as iron. However, he knew it was best not to look around recklessly at this moment, so he asked in a low voice:

"Why is Sister Guo here?"

Mrs. Guo later went to the next room and sat down at the round table:

“I just went with Coal Ball to check the situation, just in case something happens to you. This time, the evil sects are almost recklessly targeting you. Wei Kun's identity has been exposed, and Ye Yunchi will also be targeted. If you go out to seize opportunities again, it will be difficult to hide your tracks. What are your plans next?”

Xie Jinhuan had already witnessed today how powerful the Underworld God Sect was, and with Yanbo City confirmed to be involved, the risk of trying to seize the Azure Dragon's divine gift was indeed high.

After all, the process of seizing treasures involved Yanbo City discovering the location of the opportunity first, announcing one of them, and letting outside cultivators try to seize it.

He used to operate under the alias 'Wei Kun' so that he wouldn't attract attention when he left the scene. By the time his true identity was exposed, he had already succeeded, and all that was left was to escape.

Now that his disguise has been exposed ahead of time, if Yanbo City wants to deal with him, all they need to do is guard the place where the opportunity appears. There are no unknown people participating in the treasure hunt. Whether it is Ye Yunchi who appears or other unidentified people who arrive, they can just fight them directly. There are almost no outsiders except him.

Faced with this situation, Xie Jinhuan considered it briefly:
"The world of martial arts is unpredictable. Since underhanded tactics won't work, let's try open ones. The news of my arrival at Dragon Bone Beach can no longer be kept secret. Whether I hide it or not, all cultivators will see me as a formidable enemy, and they will definitely target me. So be it..."

Xie Jinhuan finished speaking, dragged his small stool over to Sister Guo, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Empress Dowager Guo felt that there was no need for a man and a woman to whisper secrets between them. She had just inhaled a puff of aphrodisiac smoke, and now the man's breath brushed against her earlobe, making half of her body feel weak. However, she did not flinch, listened attentively, and then nodded slightly.

"That's a viable option, but it not only requires exceptional personal skills, but also depends heavily on fate. If the opportunity arises too early, and reinforcements haven't arrived in time..."

Xie Jinhuan spread his hands slightly: "We've already made enough money by grabbing so much today. At worst, I won't participate in the scramble for opportunities and will just stay in the city as a guest. What can Yanbo City do to me? Sister Guo, just keep your identity hidden. As long as you don't reveal your secrets, Old Demon Shang will have no reason to cause trouble in the city. Once things are over and Dragon Bone Beach returns to order, the initiative will be on our side."

Empress Dowager Guo nodded and said, "I know what I'm doing. By the way, what's the background of this Miss Ye?"

Xie Jinhuan was just about to ask this. Sister Guo and Ye Sheng were comrades-in-arms, so they must be familiar with each other. He immediately asked:

"I feel that Lady Ye is Ye Sheng's daughter, but I don't remember Ye Sheng ever being married. Does Sister Guo know anything about this?"

"Daughter?"

Empress Dowager Guo rested her arm on the round table, crossed her legs, and carefully recalled the past:

"When the chaos of the witchcraft cult broke out, Ye Ci suddenly appeared. Many female warriors did like him, but Ye Ci's personality is completely opposite to yours."

"Oh?"

Xie Jinhuan maintained a dignified demeanor and an innocent expression.

"Is Ye Sheng not as self-disciplined as I am, and rather a womanizer?"
