Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

The first thing that happens when bitten by the Five Poisonous Beasts is that they go crazy and keep trying to bite people.

Tang Xuejian listened to these words without making a sound. Lin Yaoxie found it strange. Wasn't this usually Tang Xuejian's favorite topic?

Therefore, in Lin Yaoxie's mind, Tang Xuejian was an exceptionally cheerful and bright girl with a radiant laugh, two small dimples on her lips, and sharp canine teeth; her smile was absolutely adorable.

However, Tang Xuejian seemed preoccupied and unhappy. Lin Yaoxie thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't offended the girl in front of him recently.

The three arrived with their own thoughts in mind. The place where the poisoner had been yesterday was still as desolate as it had been yesterday, after all, it was the outskirts of the city.

However, there was one difference. The originally yellow land had become somewhat strange. Under the sunlight, wisps of black smoke rose from it. Lin Yaoxie squatted down and, by the sunlight, could see clearly that the color of the land had indeed changed, turning green. The blood of the poisonous people yesterday was green. Apart from the fact that some of the poisonous people had died, they were burned to death by Lin Yaoxie. But if they were burned to death, they would turn into ashes. But there shouldn't be this much blood, right?

Could it be that after they left, someone else killed the poisonous people here? And looking at the color of the soil, it's green with droplets. A bold idea formed in Lin Yaoxie's mind: could it be that someone collected the blood of these poisonous people? But what could this blood of poisonous people be used for?

“Come and take a look.”

Lin Yaoxie pointed to the green land and told them his thoughts.

Xu Changqing nodded. Their thoughts coincided, indicating that someone had indeed killed the Poison Man after they left.

Lin Yaoxie had already learned about the functions of the Five Poison Beasts' blood. It turned out that at dawn, those poisonous people were normal, just like ordinary people. However, as the night grew darker, white mist would appear, and these poisonous people would also appear uncontrollably.

Conversely, as dawn breaks, the poisonous creatures become less aggressive, which is why some people can kill them easily.

It's like playing a game in modern times. You have a really awesome skin, but you can only use it at night. As soon as it gets light, you'll be killed. That's the same principle.

Lin Yaoxie had a headache. Right now, there was the matter of the poisonous people, and the Five Poisonous Beasts. Now, out of nowhere, another thing appeared—something that specifically collects the blood of the poisonous people. One thing after another, it was as if they had jumped into a long-planned conspiracy. All of these seemed to be interconnected.

"Brother Lin, how about this? First, we need to find the Five Poison Beast and use its poison to cure the poison in their bodies."

Xu Changqing felt that the first thing to find was the Five Poison Beasts. Only by accepting their poison could they become like normal people, and the collection of blood from poisoned people could then be stopped.

Lin Yaoxie thought about it for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Searching everywhere for the Five Poison Beasts isn't a solution.

It was already late afternoon. Lin Yaoxie and his group planned to reappear after a while, just like they had the night before, to see if they could find any trace of the Five Poison Beast.

"Xue'er, what's wrong?"

Tang Xuejian didn't say a word the whole way, and it was unclear what she was thinking. She was absent-minded the entire time.

"It's nothing." Tang Xuejian suddenly looked up at Lin Yaoxie, then quickly lowered her head again.

Lin Yaoxie had a headache, and Tang Xuejian didn't say anything.

"It's nothing." Tang Xuejian said dismissively, but the more she said that, the more Lin Yaoxie felt something was wrong.

Lin Yaoxie was somewhat helpless. Oh well, he figured he just needed to keep an eye on Tang Xuejian.

Lin Yaoxie didn't take the matter to heart.

Seeing his concern, Tang Xue tried her best to hold back her tears. Although she didn't know what would happen if Lin Yaoxie found out about this, she couldn't care less anymore.

They ate a quick meal at the inn and went out as usual. Just like yesterday, the fog was getting thicker and thicker. Unlike last time, this fog contained some green gas.

Lin Yaoxie calmly took out the Flame Powder that the system had given him the night before and sprinkled it all into the white mist. The mist seemed to be on fire, which was quite magical.

Lin Yaoxie pulled the two of them back quickly and hid under a big tree. Although someone as powerful as Lin Yaoxie didn't need to hide, there were two other people nearby who weren't as powerful as him, so they needed to hide.

Sure enough, after they left, the white mist slowly dissipated. Although he didn't know what the mist was for, Lin Yaoxie gradually found out.

After the fog dissipated, the streets remained deserted, without a single person in sight. Lin Yaoxie knew that someone was likely pulling the strings behind the scenes, and their target was them. Lin Yaoxie remained vigilant; the quieter it was, the more suspicious it seemed.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mystery [Second Update]

"Crack." A sudden sound rang out in the quiet street. Xu Changqing was about to draw his sword in a panic when he suddenly realized that the sound was coming from beside him. Xu Changqing turned his head and saw Lin Yaoxie holding an apple and crunching it on.

Xu Changqing was both amused and exasperated.

"Brother Lin..."

Even Xu Changqing, a man of great learning and skill in both literature and martial arts, couldn't find any words to describe the bizarre things around him that he could still eat at a time like this.

Xu Changqing looked around and, finding nothing amiss, turned to speak.

Turning around, she realized that Tang Xuejian was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother Lin and Miss Tang are missing," Xu Changqing said with a grave expression.

Brother Lin, I hadn't noticed it yet. I was still munching on an apple when I finally breathed a sigh of relief and realized the girl next to me was gone.

"Holy crap, where is he?" Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but curse.

"Brother Lin, what did you say?" Xu Changqing didn't understand Lin Yaoxie's "Holy crap".

Lin Yaoxie felt extremely annoyed. He had just noticed that Tang Xuejian was acting strangely today, and now she had disappeared.

This place is extremely dangerous. You never know when a poisonous person might appear. And where would a girl with no martial arts skills go?

Lin Yaoxie activated his awesome special effects, X-ray vision, and every blade of grass and tree within a ten-mile radius appeared in his eyes. Lin Yaoxie concentrated on searching for a while, but still found no trace of Tang Xuejian. Lin Yaoxie was a little irritated. He suppressed his irritation and continued searching. Sure enough, he finally found her under a tree not far away.

Before Lin Yaoxie could speak, he immediately ran out, with Xu Changqing helplessly following behind.

Following the trees he had just seen, Lin Yaoxie found Tang Xuejian at that moment.

But Lin Yaoxie stopped walking forward at this moment, because he saw that Tang Xuejian's hair was growing wildly, and soon it had grown as long as the legendary blonde girl's hair.

The dense hair everywhere made Lin Yaoxie, who suffered from trypophobia, feel a chill run down his spine. He wasn't afraid of the hair itself, but rather had a severe phobia of it.

However, he knew that if he didn't step forward now, Tang Xuejian would misunderstand him, which would put him in trouble, and in serious cases, he might hurt her feelings.

Tang Xuejian kept rubbing her hair, knowing that Lin Yaoxie was standing in front of her, but her heart was in turmoil. She didn't know what to do. What if he was scared and she was like this?

Thinking this, Tang Xuejian couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"Xue'er, is this why you're avoiding me?"

"Go away, I don't want to see you."

Tang Xuejian tried her best not to let him hear her unusual behavior, but Lin Yaoxie, with his exceptional hearing, still noticed it at this moment.

"I know you shouldn't be afraid, I'll stay here with you." Lin Yaoxie came to her, brushed aside her hair, and pulled her into his arms.

Like soothing a baby: "Don't be afraid, sweetie." He reached out and patted her back.

When Xu Changqing arrived, this was the scene he saw. Seeing their sweetness, he seemed to have this image in his eyes.

A man dressed in white and a woman dressed in purple are embracing sweetly.

Xu Changqing tried hard to shake off the scenes in his mind. He didn't know why he could always see these images and feel the same way about them, as if the man was him.

Unbeknownst to them, the woman from the previous scene appeared.

“Zixuan, have you considered Qing’er’s feelings when you did this? He is a disciple of Shushan, not Gu Liufang or Lin Yeping. He is Xu Changqing, a disciple of Shushan. Don’t forget what you said to Master Qingwei back then.”

The Holy Maiden was truly angry, and she was angry at none other than Zi Xuan.

“I have no choice, Holy Maiden. I just like him and love him. Without him, I would rather be dead.”

Zixuan's pitiful tone made even the Holy Maiden unable to bear to blame her.

"It's been three lifetimes, Holy Maiden! Why can't Heaven open its eyes and let me be with him? Why?"

Zi Xuan roared angrily. Three lifetimes had passed, and she still hadn't given up her love for Xu Changqing, whether he was Gu Liufang, Lin Yeping, or Xu Changqing at this moment.

"Zixuan, for a man you can never be with, you actually froze Qing'er! Zixuan is your own daughter!" the Holy Maiden said, exasperated. In her eyes, Zixuan had already become a demon; she was capable of anything for a man.

0oo is asking for flowers....

"It's just been frozen for a hundred years. That's Xu Changqing's daughter. Once we're together, we'll break Qing'er's ice." In Zixuan's mind, such a picture had already appeared: she, the man she loved, and their daughter, living happily together in a place where no one knew them, and living a good life.

Zixuan seemed to realize that such a life was not far away from her, so she tried her best to make Xu Changqing remember her.

"Zixuan, you two will never be together. Why are you so persistent?" The Holy Maiden earnestly advised, afraid that her fears would come true, worried that Zixuan wouldn't listen.

I advise against it, but you insist on going your own way.

"I will find a way, Holy Maiden. No one can say we can't be together." Zi Xuan seemed to have made up her mind; she was determined to be with Xu Changqing.

The Holy Maiden did not refute her words, but shook her head. If it were really that easy to be together, Xu Changqing's life in his previous two lives would not have been so tragic.

Lin Yaoxie here is trying hard to think about the story of Xu Changqing and Zixuan, but those are just TV dramas, not real ones, but this is the real world.

As I was thinking about how to make these hairs disappear, the long hairs disappeared very quickly and eventually returned to their usual length.

Tang Xue felt her hair wasn't so heavy anymore, and couldn't help but climb out of Lin Yaoxie's arms. Seeing that her hair wasn't so scary anymore, her mood immediately improved. Her big eyes rolled around, and after a while, she found that there was no one outside, or rather, no one at all. So she gave Lin Yaoxie a kiss on the cheek.

Lin Yaoxie knew it wasn't easy for the conservative Tang Xuejian to do this, so he didn't tease her. Instead, he quietly held Tang Xuejian, burying his head in her shoulder and greedily inhaling her scent.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Clues [Third Update]

"Get off me." Tang Xuejian shyly pushed Lin Yaoxie's head away, but Lin Yaoxie not only didn't get up, but hugged her even tighter.

"There's no one here with Xue'er, what are you afraid of?" Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but rub against her.

Tang Xuejian remained silent, tacitly agreeing with Lin Yaoxie's actions.

The two embraced like that, and before they knew it, the night had passed. Just moments before, Lin Yaoxie had been remarking, "Good times always seem to fly by."

Tang Xuejian's pretty face burned with embarrassment at the thought that she had actually spent the whole night with this guy.

However, she quickly came to terms with it, not because of anything in particular, but because she realized that Lin Yaoxie was just like that, shameless and shameless, and there was no point in saying anything.

Lin Yaoxie and Tang Xuejian sighed as they left. Last night they were supposed to be dealing with the Five Poison Beasts, but they ended up sleeping there for "seven seven sevens" nights.

When they returned to the inn, Xu Changqing was still the first one there. Lin Yaoxie even wondered if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Lin Yaoxie was extremely dissatisfied that he was always the first to arrive every day; he should be the first one there.

Just as I was about to speak, I noticed that Xu Changqing had dark circles under his eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had been beaten up. In reality, it was because Xu Changqing hadn't slept.

Zixuan didn't come last night, but for some reason, he kept having images of being with her in his mind.

Although it was a dream, the feeling was real. Xu Changqing sat there all night without sleeping.

"Tell me honestly, did you pick up girls last night?" Lin Yao looked at Xu Changqing seriously. Xu Changqing paused in his breakfast, seemingly pondering the meaning of Lin Yao's words.

"White Tofu, although you're handsome, don't overindulge in lust." Lin Yaoxie patted Xu Changqing's shoulder with an air of maturity, and Xu Changqing understood these words.

"Brother Lin, you've misunderstood." Xu Changqing tried to explain, but Lin Yaoxie shut him up with a single sentence.

"Did you like that woman from last night?" Lin Yaoxie asked while eating.

"What woman?" Xu Changqing was momentarily taken aback.

"Does Master Xu have someone he likes?" Tang Xuejian asked with a gossipy look. Her hair had grown wildly last night, but it had returned to normal today. With her hair back to normal, she was happy. When you're happy, everything looks pleasing to the eye, and you become curious about everything. Tang Xuejian could say that this was her current state.

Don't ask her how she knows; she's just happy because her hair isn't growing anymore.
