After dinner, Chang Yue went back to the room to rest.
Soon midnight fell, and the bright moonlight scattered across the earth, shining into the inn room through the window.
Taoyuan City was originally a sparsely populated city. Now that it was late at night, it seemed even more silent and eerie, like a ghost town.
"Meow~"
The sound of cats meowing in the distance added a bit of terror to this peaceful night.
Suddenly, there was the sound of slight footsteps outside Changyue's door. Not long after, a bamboo pipe penetrated the window paper and stretched into the room. Waves of soft smoke floated out from it.
About a stick of incense later, voices sounded outside the door.
"It should be almost time, right?"
"Go in, if you are hit by my incense, even a Condensing Yuan realm warrior will sleep like a pig."
As the conversation ended, Chang Yue's door was pushed open with a creak. She had obviously bolted the door before going to bed.
There were two people coming in.
One of them was the waiter who greeted Chang Yue in the evening. The waiter was short and thin, but his walking movements were extremely nimble. It was obvious at a glance that he had a foundation in martial arts.
The other one was the cook of the inn. He was fat and almost two meters tall. Just standing there made him feel very oppressive.
The cook also held two kitchen knives in his hands, and the blades reflected wisps of cold light under the moonlight.
The two of them walked to Chang Yue's bed. The waiter threw out a cloth and tied Chang Yue tightly in an instant.
Just when the fat chef raised his knife to chop at Changyue, a snow-white spider suddenly hung silently from the roof, and a transparent spider silk was wrapped around the cook's neck at some point.
There was a pop, and the cook's head flew high into the air, hot blood sprayed out, and most of it fell on the waiter.
The waiter subconsciously wanted to scream, but in the next second, a shimmering spider leg was placed around his neck. The cold touch was like the scythe of death reaping life.
It turned out that the snow jade spider hanging from the roof had been lying on his back at some point.
At this time, Chang Yue suddenly opened her eyes, then slowly sat up from the bed, and said to the waiter in a joking tone: "Don't make a sound, otherwise your head will be separated."
"You...you're not asleep?" the waiter said stiffly.
"Asleep? Just because of your inferior fragrance?" Chang Yue wanted to laugh when he heard this.
The waiter in the shop was choked by Chang Yue and was speechless. The incense had always been something he was quite proud of, but now it had become something inferior in other people's mouths, which made him very angry.
"How many people are there in this black shop of yours?" Changyue asked.
In fact, she guessed that this restaurant was a shady restaurant when she was having dinner, because the meat and dishes served to her by the waiter were all made of human flesh.
As a pharmacist, Changyue's sense of smell is extremely sensitive. She can easily detect the difference between livestock meat and human flesh with just a slight sniff.
So she didn't sleep at all after nightfall, but lay on the bed to practice.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, this black shop was about to take action.
Because Chang Yue only booked one night's accommodation, if they didn't take action tonight, she would leave tomorrow, and wouldn't there be no chance to take action?
"Just...just three people." The waiter stammered in reply.
Business in Taoyuan City is sluggish. How can their inn afford to hire others? Even if they open a black shop, they can't make much money.
"Where's the other one? Take me to find him!" Changyue kicked the waiter.
"Yes...yes!" The waiter walked out of the room tremblingly, with the snow jade spider clinging tightly to his back, and even gesticulating on his neck with his claws from time to time.
At this time, in a room on the first floor of the inn, the innkeeper was talking quietly to a man wrapped in black.
"This is the reward promised to you." The man in black took out two golden tickets and handed them to the innkeeper. "Don't reveal our identities, otherwise you will know the consequences." The man in black said in a warning tone.
The innkeeper shined the golden ticket against the candlelight. After confirming that it was genuine, he smiled and stuffed the golden ticket into his arms and said to the man in black:
"Messenger, please rest assured. Are you still worried about me doing things? This is not the first time we have cooperated. If we can capture that little girl, I will send you a message immediately."
"Don't be careless, she is no ordinary little girl." The man in black reminded the innkeeper.
"Don't worry, I've been doing this for so long, how have I ever made a mistake?" the innkeeper said with a smile.
At this moment, the man in black's ears twitched, and then he said to the innkeeper: "Someone is coming, I'll take the first step." After that, he turned into a black mist and disappeared into the room.
Bang bang bang~ There was a knock on the door.
"Old...boss, I'm back."
"It's a whistle. How are things going with you and Ah Xiang?" the innkeeper asked as he stood up quietly. He held a broad knife in his hand and walked softly to the door.
"It's done, please open the door." The waiter said in a trembling voice, "We got something good... from that little girl."
"Come here, just wait." The innkeeper seemed not to notice anything unusual.
The moment the door opened, a cold light flashed quickly, and the innkeeper struck at him with his knife.
With a gentle push from Chang Yue outside the door, the waiter was pushed towards the innkeeper. The innkeeper did not show mercy just because the person who jumped at him was his own boy.
There was only a pop, and a huge wound was cut on the chest of the waiter. He screamed and fell to the ground. After twitching twice, he stopped moving.
At this moment, Changyue had already attacked with an ironwood sword in hand.
When~
The iron wood knife collided with the broad knife in the innkeeper's hand, and sparks of fire burst out.
The two retreated at the first touch.
After closing the distance between him and Chang Yue, the innkeeper sneered and said, "Young lady, you are so capable. I have never missed the scent of the whistle. I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands today."
Chang Yue looked at the boss and found that he was a Shangyuan realm master like herself, and was a little surprised for a moment.
"A master of the Shangyuan Realm actually opened a black shop here. Don't you feel ashamed?" Chang Yue said coldly.
The innkeeper said with a smile: "There is no way, business is hard to do. It is easy for outsiders to come to Taoyuan City. If my inn doesn't do some special business, how can I still come..."
In the middle of the innkeeper's words, suddenly a crystal clear spider leg passed through his back, instantly piercing his heart.
"Ho ho ho..." The innkeeper looked at Chang Yue in disbelief, "You actually carried out a sneak attack..."
I saw countless blood pouring out of the innkeeper's mouth. He immediately reached out to cover the hole in his chest, but the spider legs stuck in his chest exuded strong ice energy, which caused the speed of the true energy in his body to change. Gotta be slow.
Changyue took back the iron wood sword and said with a smile: "Thanks to your age, don't you know that teenage girls like me who are walking outside are actually the worst people to mess with.
Also...the villain dies because he talks too much! "
The innkeeper stared with round eyes. The calf-sized snow jade spider behind him was afraid that he was not dead, so it pierced its legs deeper.
This time the innkeeper tilted his head and lost his breath instantly.
The Snow Jade Spider slowly pulled out its legs, slowly crawled to Chang Yue, and shook off the blood on its legs.
This snow jade spider is one of Jin Shuangshuang's kin, and its strength is also in the Shangyuan realm.
"thank you!"
Although she knew that the Snow Jade Spider could not understand, Changyue still thanked it and then took it back to the Mirror of All Things.
After killing the owner and employees of the inn, Chang Yue did not leave. He continued to sleep in the inn for one night. He got up early the next morning to dispose of the corpses and plunder the properties of several people.
They are all poor people. This time Chang Yue touched the corpse and found nothing of value. Only the innkeeper had a few golden tickets, but to Chang Yue, this little money was nothing.
Changyue also found the formula for the incense in the store's waiter, but she didn't take it seriously. It was just a low-grade incense, so she put the formula away casually.
After Chang Yue left the inn, a man in black appeared near the window on the second floor of the inn. He stared at Chang Yue's retreating back for a long time, then took out a homing pigeon and let it fly.
The carrier pigeon flew all the way into Sanhua Mountain, and finally fell into the hands of another man in black. After the man in black saw the message sent by the carrier pigeon, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"You underestimated the Pavilion Master of Cangyue Pavilion."
Chang Yue walked outside the city and came to the place where she and Hong Yu parted yesterday. She was about to call Hong Yu out when she suddenly saw an old woman walking out of the peach forest.
This old woman has snow-white hair, a stooped body, and is leaning on a mahogany crutch with a pink bag hanging on it. Coupled with her pink clothes, she is a beautiful old lady.
However, the old woman was able to withstand the poisonous gas of the Peach Blossom Miasma without being corroded. She was obviously not a simple person.
When the old woman saw Chang Yue appearing outside the peach grove, she had a look of surprise on her face. She walked forward slowly, with a kind face and a friendly tone and asked:
"Little girl, have you seen a little red snake around here?"
Little red snake? Could it be referring to ruby?
Chang Yue shook her head, "Sorry, I just came here and didn't see it."
However, as soon as Chang Yue finished speaking, a red afterimage emerged from the peach forest and landed on her shoulder. It was Hong Yu who came to look for her.
Changyue looked at the ruby on her shoulder and then at the old woman opposite, feeling extremely embarrassed.
You guy, why don't you look at the atmosphere when you appear? Changyue glared at Hongyu.
()???Hongyu looked confused.
When the old woman saw Hongyu and Changyue being so close, she was surprised, "Little girl, is this red snake yours?"
"Exactly." Chang Yue nodded, "I just deceived my mother-in-law. I am here to apologize to you."
The old woman raised a smile and said: "It's easy to say, as long as the little girl gives me the red snake, I will forget the blame."
"Hiss, hiss~~~"
Hearing the old woman's words, Hongyu immediately bared her teeth at her: Bah, old witch, you chased me all night last night. If you don't give up today, go ahead and dream! I am born as the master's snake, and die as the master's dead snake. No one can get me except kissing the master!
Chang Yue frowned when he heard this, feeling that the old woman's words were a bit rude, but still politely refused: "I'm sorry, Hong Yu is my friend and cannot be given away casually."
Yeah~ Hongyu nodded solemnly, and felt happy when she heard her master say that she was a friend.
After hearing Chang Yue's answer, the smile on the old woman's face disappeared instantly, "Since the little girl doesn't want to, then the old woman can get it herself."
After saying that, she twisted her hands into claws and quickly grabbed Changyue.
Upon seeing this, Changyue quickly retreated, nimbly avoiding the old woman's claw attack, and at the same time drew out the iron wood knife and swung it out, the blood-colored blade light flew out, forcing the old woman to retreat repeatedly.
The old woman retreated to a distance and looked at Chang Yue with a wary face, "You little girl is so powerful!"
Changyue ignored her, used the teleportation technique, tapped his toes, and instantly came to the old woman's side, raised his iron wood sword and continued to attack her.
Although the old woman was old, her movements were extremely flexible. She moved quickly and dodged Chang Yue's attacks time and time again.
The first style of the Weeping Blood Knife Technique: drip blood into a blade!
The second style of the Weeping Blood Knife Technique: Qi and blood soar to the sky!
The third form of the Weeping Blood Knife Technique: Blood Waves Rolling!
Changyue's sword strikes were faster and sharper than the last. The powerful force of the sword was concentrated all over her body, causing her to cut higher and higher. Gradually, the old woman began to be unable to resist.
It's the power of the sword! What a scary little girl!
The old woman exclaimed in her heart.
Pfft~
Finally, the old woman's arm was cut by Changyue.
"Wait, little girl, stop it! You don't want that red snake body anymore."
Chang Yue turned a deaf ear to her words and continued to attack. Seeing that Chang Yue was attacking more and more fiercely, the old woman lowered her tone again.
"Little girl, it's all my fault. I apologize to you. Please stop."
Chang Yue still pretended not to hear.
Puff... Puff... Puff...
As time went by, the old woman became more and more exhausted, blood stains began to appear on her body, and the originally bright pink clothes had turned into rags.
At this time, the old woman suddenly stopped and gently waved the crutch in her hand. She saw bursts of pink mist floating out of the bag hanging on the crutch.
It’s peach blossom miasma!
This old woman can actually control the Peach Blossom Miasma, and it seems to be a condensed Peach Blossom Miasma!
Seeing this, Hong Yu suddenly sprang out from Chang Yue's shoulders, and the next second turned into a giant snake. She opened her mouth and sucked all the peach blossom miasma controlled by the old woman into her belly.
Hum~Use poison in front of me? Do whatever you want.
I saw Hongyu opening his mouth to the old woman and spitting out a ball of blood-red mist. Unexpectedly, the old woman was swallowed up by the poisonous gas.
When the fog dissipated, the old woman was lying on the ground with bruises all over her body. Her body was still twitching. It was obvious that she was deeply poisoned.
Ruby's poison is indeed overbearing.
The cultivation speed of the alien beasts is slow. You must know that Hongyu has not even reached the Condensing Yuan Realm, but now he used poison to knock down the old woman in the Shangyuan Realm.
Seeing Chang Yue walking in, the old woman quickly begged for mercy, "Little girl, we have something to talk about."
Chang Yue looked at the old woman lying motionless on the ground, rolled her eyes, and asked, "I wonder what I call my mother-in-law?"
