Inside the noodle shop, a peaceful atmosphere prevailed.

Dropping a gold brick anywhere would cause a huge uproar, let alone in a roadside shop like this, especially with a stunningly beautiful woman sitting there with her legs crossed and a slit in her long skirt revealing her shapely thighs.

And the red lines on the calves and thighs.

It's a fox.

What was surprising was that no one in the noodle shop disturbed them. Everyone seemed not to see Lu Cheng and simply walked past him, as if this group of people were in a completely different world.

His eyes trembled violently. On that rainy night, before his senior sister unleashed her sword energy, a woman approached him from behind. However, it was dark at the time, and he couldn't make out her appearance at all. Only a clap of thunder allowed him to catch a glimpse of her.

The dead memories were attacking his brain frantically, and combined with the woman's words, he made a judgment in an instant!

"You are the one who brought that heavy rain."

"Yes, that's right."

He readily admitted it without batting an eye, then stood up and walked to the counter of the noodle shop, picking up a pot of wine as if it were something from his own home, and said something to the waiter.

"Waiter, put this on this young master's tab."

"Okay!"

The gesture of turning his head and nodding was extremely strange.

Throughout the process, the people in the shop seemed to have seen her, yet also seemed completely unaware of her existence. They smiled and sat down in front of the boy while carrying a wine pot, and without any ceremony, filled his teacup.

"The noodles will get soggy if you don't eat them soon."

They even have the mood to offer a friendly reminder.

Staring intently at those amber-like eyes, he then keenly noticed a thin, red vertical pupil in the center of the woman's eyes.

"The demon race."

Two words appeared in the boy's heart, completely different from ordinary demons that had lost their minds.

"Would you like a pot? Although Da Yue is of low character, their wine is absolutely superb."

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but I won't accept it."

"Just call me Susu, there's no need to be so formal, Young Master Lu Cheng?"

I sat back down.

He stirred the dough in the bowl a few times with his chopsticks, restoring its elasticity from clumping. His emotions had completely calmed down. The other party had not only infiltrated the city but also knew his name, which meant that his whereabouts and whereabouts were completely under their control.

Given the level of this person, there was no need for them to hide anything if they wanted to kill him. The only thing that made him curious was why such a god would come looking for him.

He casually took two bites and pushed the plate of beef on the table over to her.

"I haven't touched the snacks to go with the drinks."

"Oh? There's such a good thing."

Without any ceremony, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating, her posture elegant yet revealing a wild side. While eating, she even winked at Lu Chengzhi.

"You're more composed than I imagined. I thought you'd rush out of the noodle shop and run to the Demon Suppression Bureau to have Ji Xiaoxiao stand up for you."

"I'm not sick."

The young man shrugged. He wasn't just pretending to be calm. According to his senior sister's description, although that expert had a different stance from Da Yue, he was definitely not a bloodthirsty person.

Based on the information I have gathered, it is highly likely that these two people who fought in the sky above Zhennan Pass realized that something was amiss, which is why they took the initiative to come and meet me.

"With your level of cultivation, crushing me would be less strenuous than crushing an ant. Since you've come here from the Demon Realm, it means you must have something important to do."

"The fact that Lady Ji did not react to your entry into the city indicates that she tacitly approves of it."

"You can't have come to Jingnan just to make things difficult for a newbie like me."

The bowl of noodles was empty.

His body was restless, and his spiritual root was flashing wildly within him, like a person who had been thirsty in the desert for several days craving water. The woman in front of him, named Susu, was exuding an aura called demonic filth. He was certain that this person was the source of the demonic filth.

What if I said yes?

"Then it's yours. You can do whatever you want with it, just leave me some peace."

She rolled her eyes.

Even under these circumstances, Lu Cheng could still crack a joke. Su Su's smile didn't disappear. She tapped the table lightly with one hand and held her forehead with the other, letting out a soft sigh.

"Oh, you clever little rascal, no wonder Ji Xiaoxiao took you as her apprentice."

"So the Demon Suppression Division really does have its own spies."

"Hmm~"

With a noncommittal smile, Su Su's personality was the complete opposite of Ji Xiao Xiao's. She was cynical, mischievous, and full of curiosity about anything new. She was never combative, and if the border incident hadn't caused such a big commotion, she wouldn't have bothered coming to someone else's territory.

"I hope Miss Susu will tell me directly what brings you to Jingnan, so that I can inform my senior sister."

He corrected his form of address, since in most people's eyes, Lu Cheng was Ji Xiaoxiao's disciple, not her junior brother.

Susu tapped her embroidered shoes lightly on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then spoke up.

"Just as you said, I did not come here for you."

"A few years ago, chaos broke out on the border. Your Jingnan cultivators wandered around the Demon Suppression Abyss like madmen, killing any demons or monsters they saw, claiming to be eliminating harm for the people. There were also a few ignorant scum who infiltrated our demon realm."

"So, you, the Great Yue and the Demon Suppression Bureau, who consider yourselves prestigious and righteous families, have pinned the blame on our Demon Realm, remaining silent about why you violated our borders. How cunning of you."

"The matter escalated, and even Ji Xiaoxiao intervened several times. It only subsided after I took the initiative to come to the border of the Demon Realm, and the battle between the two sides temporarily stopped."

"Later, I heard that Ji Xiaoxiao had some enlightenment and took the initiative to go into seclusion to try to question the Heavenly Dao. Of course, you know the result. Someone took advantage of the weakened defenses of Jingnan City and brought the demonic energy that I had cultivated in hardship into Jingnan, causing many people to fight each other."

"Even Ji Xiaoxiao was forced to come out of seclusion, suffering serious injuries. However, I do not know the truth at this time, so I can only test it myself."

"You were the one who spied on our duel that day, weren't you, Young Master Lu?"

Snapped--

The boy put down his chopsticks.

He had finished eating the noodles, but he couldn't calm down at all. The other person's description was almost identical to the memories he had been searching through. Of course, he wouldn't believe the other person's words so easily, so he asked a question in return.

"So you've completely distanced yourself from this?"

The sentence itself had no derogatory meaning, but in this context it sounded like sarcasm. Su Su calmly took a small sip of the wine, and even Lu Chengxin tensed up, thinking that this woman was about to get angry.

but……

"Yes, they were picked clean."

She stuck out her pink little tongue and playfully "skipped" it twice, her face beaming with a smile.

"Even if your master were sitting here, I would give the same answer."

"Little fellow, you have not yet reached our level. If you had reached that level, you would not have this question. Anything that harms your Dao heart will only become a stumbling block on your path to immortality."

"Ah, I've already answered your question, young master. Now it's your turn."

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and even his tone became serious. He slightly raised his chin and narrowed his eyes into slits.

"You devoured my demonic energy, didn't you, Lu Cheng?"
