Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

"Don't look at me with those beautiful eyes." Cang Longyuan's lips curled up, and he leaned down slightly. "I'm not exactly a gentleman."

Chi Buwan's lips twitched twice, and he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"So beautiful." Cang Longyuan leaned closer, tilting his head, and said, "How about becoming my woman?"

The slight furrow between Chi Buwan's brows vanished in an instant, replaced by a chilling aura that quickly spread across her eyes. The corners of her mouth, which had just been barely upturned, gradually smoothed out, and her peach blossom eyes remained completely calm.

Canglong Yuan gave a wicked smile and slowly lowered his head.

Chi Buwan looked at him with disgust in her eyes. She stood up, took a half step back, and kicked him without holding back, her disgust undisguised. "Disgusting!"

"Your Majesty!!" The Right Protector rushed forward and helped the Demon Lord, who had been kicked and was staggering.

The demons hidden among the inn's crowd all stood up, glaring at him with murderous intent.

Chi Buwan's eyes were filled with intense disgust, his gaze cold and piercing. The next second, his wrist was grabbed and he was pulled back two steps.

He struggled to pull his hand away, but his hand, which he thought he couldn't break free from, was easily released with a gentle lift. He paused for a moment.

"Master, this place is for me, you go first."

Chi Buwan's eyelids twitched as he looked at Xiao Wuli, who had already blocked his way while he was speaking.

Those who had been watching the commotion in the inn, seeing that things were getting out of hand, had already fled in disarray.

"I've given you far too much of a hard time." Cang Longyuan's expression was grim, and he slowly released the aura of a Mahayana cultivator. "Never before has anyone dared to provoke me like this, even once or twice..."

"Bang--!"

Before the Demon Lord could finish speaking, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose in front of him. He raised his finger, and the smoke immediately dissipated, leaving the ground where the two people had been standing empty.

Cang Longyuan's dark eyes were deep and cold as he nodded with a sneer. "Pass on my order: anyone who arrives late is to be captured alive!"

"yes!"

A dense mass of people knelt down on one knee, and the Left Protector bowed his head and clasped his hands, understanding the Demon Lord's meaning.

Capture alive... even if they're barely alive, they're still captured alive.

.

"Junior brother, don't move!"

Chi Buwan stopped what he was doing, puzzled. "What are you doing here, Senior Brother?"

Fifth Senior Brother Xuanlu is a master of talismans and is in the late stage of the Dao Integration realm. He is just one step away from breaking through to the late stage of the Mahayana realm. He often seeks a way to break through outside the sect, and has long since left the affairs of the Lingxiao Sect to the eldest disciple.

Xuanlu cast two talismans into the chests of the two people in front of him, cutting off the demonic energy's pursuit, before raising his hand to scratch his head and saying, "Last night, five hundred miles away, I happened to look up and saw fire in the sky. I thought I had encountered some kind of wonder, so I followed."

He paused for a moment, not too late.

"After chasing for a while, I realized it was my junior brother's attendant." Xuanlu chuckled. "I originally just wanted to greet my junior brother, but he was running too fast and seemed to be in a hurry, so I followed him to see what was going on."

Chi Buwan stiffly tilted his head little by little to look at Xiao Wuli, who was standing not far away with slightly red eyes looking at him.

"Where's my junior brother? Why did he fly here in such a hurry?" Xuanlu chased after him, trying to kill him.

Chi Buwan coughed lightly, his mind racing.

It can't be said that it was because of avoiding Xiao Wuli, nor can it be said that it was because of the mission.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "Skin-whitening cream."

"Skin-whitening cream?" Xuan Lu repeated, then nodded slightly. "That is indeed a good thing."

My junior brother is always handsome, so it's not surprising that he came looking for this kind of ointment, but...

The old man said, "...However, that old man rarely comes up from the abyss. If you want to obtain it, you'll have to go to the bottom of the abyss to find him."

Xiao Wuli looked at his master, who was chatting happily with others, and slowly lowered his eyes.

The old man shook his head with feigned regret, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Let's go! We can go now!

Three months ago, this kid swore he wouldn't go to the bottom of that abyss to learn medicine, but now it's completely different.

Is this the first time Master has told this kid what he wants?

The old man, mimicking Xiao Wuli, lowered his head and suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth.

.

"...Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so how about I take you to see that secret forest tomorrow?" Xuanlu said.

Chi Buwan nodded, a smile playing on his lips: "Okay."

Xuanlu was somewhat shocked and said, "Junior brother, you really have become more polite than before, just as your senior brothers said."

Is it too late?

Not long ago, someone knocked on the little dumpling's window. "What does this mean? Could I be the original owner of this body?"

He was a voracious reader, and had read several books with this seemingly transmigrated-in-a-book premise that actually involved returning to one's homeland.

337 replied quickly: [Host, don't worry, you are definitely not the original owner.]

Chi Buwan felt relieved, glanced at Xuanlu who was muttering something under his breath, then paused slightly and slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Wuli, who was still standing there quietly watching him without saying a word.

Chi Buwan gently caressed her fingertips, remaining silent.

Xiao Wuli was covered in tricks, with the old man pointing out the way and the Heavenly Profound Sword being sacrificed with divine blood. He had run for four hours with great difficulty, and his attendants were even sparking from the friction, but he caught up in just two hours.

Moreover, if Xiao Wuli hadn't appeared in time, he would have directly attacked the Demon Lord with his sword and then been killed in return.

From any perspective, his escape was completely pointless.

She looked away, her lips pursed and her brows furrowed.

Forget it.

Xiao Wuli was only pinching his fingers; if he wanted to pinch them, he would let him. Maybe Xiao Wuli just thought his fingers were nice to pinch?

Chi Buwan bent his long index finger joint and gently pinched it with his thumb.

...not easy to handle.

He should give him something as a token of gratitude, but he no longer had anything that Xiao Wuli could use to show off in the future.

Suddenly, his gaze paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at his senior brother in front of him.

Xuanlu: ...........

He had a bad feeling.

"Don't leave," came the voice, not long after.

"Disciple is here." Xiao Wuli walked to his side and bowed.

Chi Buwan looked at her fifth senior brother and blinked her peach blossom eyes gently.

Xuanlu:.........

He knew everything that the handsome junior brother in front of him had done that year, even though he wasn't in the sect.

The eldest brother gave his most treasured high-level sword technique to the disciple named Xiao Wuli, along with a few days of closed-door instruction; the third brother took away jars and jars of pills he had refined, and the third brother often said in his non-standard accent that he was going to throw up from refining the Strengthening and Nourishing Pill; the eighth brother emptied the treasures on the top floor of the Wanbao Pavilion, and the usually old-fashioned eighth brother seemed to become much younger during that period.

Now... it's his turn.
