The bright moon in the dark night exuded a faint silver light, illuminating the gravel road that could accommodate two people walking side by side.
The big house was quiet, not even a soul was around.
A fox is floating in the air. If someone sees it, they will think they are dazzled.
The fox demon Xiaowei felt a little ashamed. A demon cultivator was actually reduced to being walked like a dog. If her brothers and sisters found out, they might not be able to laugh at her.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the dog following its owner closely. She felt even more ashamed and annoyed. She wished she could take him somewhere earlier so that she could get out of this predicament.
She was not blind. The eyes of the dog that was staring at her were full of hostility and contempt for her. What was even more annoying was that the dog's face actually maintained an inscrutable look!
What the hell!
I was so angry!
A cold gaze swept slightly, and the fox demon Xiaowei shuddered, withdrew the corner of her eyes and looked ahead, not daring to look ahead.
Walking on the gravel road, Zhu Yuanyu didn't take very big steps. In the quiet night, he could clearly hear the rustling sound of clothes.
He looked back and saw Qi Ao walking uncomfortably one meter away. He was wearing the large cloak he had given him on his upper body, a pair of wet trousers on his lower body, and his feet were bare.
Zhu Yuanyu was slightly distracted, but then he woke up and said, "Let's go find you some clothes first."
Xiaowei, the fox demon in front, immediately said: "There are probably clothes suitable for this young master in the front."
She was right. After walking down the gravel road for a while, she reached a side room. This side room was mainly used to store her prey.
For a man with outstanding appearance, the fox demon Xiaowei will keep him to slowly absorb the yang energy. The previous owner of that wing is no longer here. If Zhu Yuanyu does not come, it is no surprise that Qi Ao will be the new owner of this wing. .
Because he had to raise prey in the mansion, many men's clothing was prepared in the wing. For a while, the fox demon Xiaowei fell in love with watching plays, and often played different roles with her prey. One of her favorite plays was The Scholar Encounters the Fox Demon in the Deserted Temple. She felt that compared with the fox demon in the play, she was Missing someone who truly loves each other.
Unfortunately, after her sister knew her thoughts, she laughed at her: "There are no such infatuated people in this world, they are just made up."
The fox demon Xiaowei didn't believe it. She had been imagining in her heart that she could meet such a love. For this reason, she asked her sister to often go to other places, and every time she would pass by the deserted temple outside Youxi City.
Thinking of the dream that has not been realized so far, the fox demon Xiaowei felt a little disappointed for a moment.
Zhu Yuanyu opened the door, and the moonlight shone in from behind him. Even so, the room was still dark.
He moved his fingers, and the fox demon Xiaowei floated in.
"Taoist Priest, can you unlock the seal for me? I want to light the candle so it's easier to find—"
Before she could finish her words, a ball of blue light suddenly appeared next to her, illuminating the entire room instantly.
It's bright, but it looks a little spooky.
"ah!!!"
The fox demon Xiaowei screamed, ignoring the pain in her back, and tried her best to stay away from the ball of light.
"Taoist priest, I don't dare anymore! Please spare me!"
The ball of light was clearly a ball of lightning, which Zhu Yuanyu deliberately released to scare the fox demon and warn her not to make any small moves.
Zhu Yuanyu snorted softly, stepped in, and quickly found the target - the wooden box where the clothes were placed.
As he moved around, the ball of light also floated over and stopped above the wooden box.
The fox demon Xiaowei was slightly relieved when she saw this, and then she felt a burning pain in her back and took a sharp breath of cold air.
Qi Ao bent down and opened the wooden box with a creaking sound.
Under the light of the light ball, you can clearly see the neatly folded clothes placed in the wooden box. You can tell from the style that they are for men. The material looks pretty good, it seems to be brocade.
Qi Ao frowned, not satisfied with the fancy clothes, but he had nothing to wear now, so he could only feel aggrieved temporarily.
Just as he was about to reach out and pick up a random set, Zhu Yuanyu stopped him with his hand, "Has anyone worn it?"
This question was asked in a confused manner, but Qi Ao understood it. Not only him, but also the fox demon understood it, and he quickly said: "No, no, they are all newly made, for--" Then he suddenly remembered something. , shut up and stop talking.
"Oh." Zhu Yuanyu opened the wooden box next to him, took a look, then pointed to the top set of blue clothes in the wooden box, and said to Qi Ao: "That's the one."
Qi Ao turned his head and saw that the second box of clothes looked quite elegant, so he nodded, picked up the set of clothes that Zhu Yuanyu pointed to, shook them open and saw that they were straight clothes.
When I put it on, I found it fit quite well.
Qi Ao reluctantly returned the cloak to Zhu Yuanyu, and as soon as he took it off, he began to miss the fragrance.
"Let's go."
Without wasting any more time, Zhu Yuanyu let the fox demon continue to lead the way.
After turning a few corners, they walked through the corridor and came to the second room with candles lit tonight.
"This is it." Fox Demon Xiaowei said.
At this time, she was very nervous and conflicted. She wanted to have someone the Taoist knew on the other side of the door, but she also didn't want there to be someone the Taoist knew on the other side of the door, because she could not have expected the outcome of either situation.
Qi Ao, who had changed into clothes, stood in front of Zhu Yuanyu and pushed the door open.
The people inside looked over in surprise, "Who are you?"
Qi Ao's tall back blocked his view. Zhu Yuanyu moved a step to the left and finally could see who was in the room - two men dressed as servants. They were very tall and their faces were not as sallow as other men in the city. Instead, there was a layer of blush covering her face, as if there was too much blood in her body, making her face turn red.
They didn't recognize him, but Qi Ao didn't forget that they were the ones who tied him up.
After walking out of the Yuelai Inn, Qi Ao walked in the opposite direction from the noodle stall until he returned to the tea shop. He stopped when he passed through a dark alley.
He sensed that someone was following him.
Unexpectedly, the person who was following him was very arrogant and appeared when he saw him stop. Five or six burly men surrounded him and blocked the way out.
Qi Ao was very confident in his martial arts, but he didn't expect that the other party would use underhanded moves, and he didn't even try to cross the line. As soon as he met him, he quickly sprinkled a handful of powder on him and quickly fascinated him.
He tried to avoid it, but suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the fans followed him as if they had eyes. No matter what they did, they couldn't avoid it until he was hit.
So Qi Ao really wanted to educate the two men who used dirty tricks.
But without Zhu Yuanyu's instructions, he would not take action even if he thought about it again.
Those two men were just puppets manipulated by the fox demon Xiaowei to catch people. Their status was very low. They were usually responsible for guarding the captured people, but now it happened to be their turn to watch the night.
Since his status is low and it is difficult to even meet him, of course he will not know the true identity of the fox demon Xiaowei.
Usually when people are captured in a big house, there will be a dedicated confidant of the fox demon Xiaowei who is responsible for presenting the prey. In this big house, the division of labor is very clear, and everyone has their own scope of responsibility. Because the punishment is terrible, no one will ever If you dare to take it seriously, overstepping it is absolutely not allowed.
Of course, different levels have different levels of manipulation.
The two men who were responsible for catching people were only controlled by their freedom; but the dedicated confidants had completely controlled their thoughts and were very loyal and could be used by the fox demon Xiaowei with confidence. puppet.
Because there are too many people, secrets will be leaked, so there are no more than ten servants in the big house. Every night, servants who have no duties must stay in their own rooms. They are not allowed to light lights or step out of the room, otherwise there will be consequences. The whole person just disappeared.
All these are rules made to facilitate the fox demon sisters to collect and replenish their yang energy.
The fox demon Xiaowei cannot appear in front of others, so she hides outside and does not go in.
Zhu Yuanyu ignored her and walked into the room with Qi Ao.
Maotou seemed to know that the strange flying thing in front of him was his master's prey, so he took the initiative to keep a close eye on the prey for his master.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, Maotou's eyes reflected the moonlight and glowed strangely, making the fox demon Xiaowei panic.
Besides, inside the house, a fight started at the slightest disagreement. With Zhu Yuanyu's approval, Qi Ao finally beat the two men to a pulp and took revenge on his fans.
Zhu Yuanyu also successfully found Li Zhuangzhuang and Cuier who were awake in the inner room, as well as several other men and women.
Seeing him, Cui'er had tears in her eyes and looked like she was dying of grievance.
Li Zhuangzhuang didn't seem to express much, if his eyes weren't so shiny.
There was no wax in the inner room, so the light ball came in handy again, and everyone's expressions could be seen clearly.
Except for Li Zhuangzhuang and Cui'er, after all, they knew that their master was a capable person, so they were not too surprised when they saw the light ball at first glance. On the contrary, the others stared at the light ball in surprise, and when they looked deeper, they seemed to be a little bit... Terrified and frightened.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't explain, and directly cut the rope off the person's body. The person who had the rope cut off didn't see anything. As soon as his body relaxed, he found that he was free again.
Zhu Yuanyu, who had done a good deed, silently put away the light from his fingertips. At this time, no one would pay attention to the scorched black end of the rope.
Li Zhuangzhuang pulled off the cloth from his mouth and said loudly: "Master, what is this place?"
Zhu Yuanyu smiled and found that several other men and women were staring at him with wary faces. They did not directly answer Li Zhuangzhuang's question, "A big house."
Li Zhuangzhuang was not the kind of person who liked to get to the bottom of things. After getting his answer, he stopped asking. This made several other men and women who were eager to find out the situation angry.
Although one of them tried his best to conceal his tone, it still had a questioning tone, "Do you know the people in this house? Are you two here to save people?"
