However, as soon as he agreed, Xie Huaizhi felt a little regretful. How much is a promise worth in this world?
He stared at Lou Jinhuan twice, and suddenly pulled her sleeve. Lou Jinhuan looked down at him in confusion, "What?"
Xie Huaizhi smiled slightly, and there seemed to be waves flowing in his eyes, like two whirlpools, attracting her deeply.
When Lou Jinhuan met his gaze, she could no longer look away, and her expression gradually became confused.
Xie Huaizhi held her hand and said softly: "Since you like me so much, you must protect me. You can't do bad things to me, nor force me, nor go against my will, okay?"
This voice was as ethereal as a cloud of smoke, coming toward her face. Lou Jinhuan couldn't help but feel a little dazed. At that moment, the alarm bells in her head rang loudly, and she suddenly woke up.
Something's wrong, he's using mind-power on her!
[Tsk, host, you were almost fooled. The goal of this mission is a bit difficult]
[Every drop of water can penetrate a stone, I can always make him put down his guard]
Although Lou Jinhuan saw through Xie Huaizhi's soul-obsessing technique, he did not show any abnormality and nodded under his gaze, "Okay."
Xie Huaizhi was silent for a moment, and then added, "If I want to leave, you can't stop me."
Lou Jinhuan also agreed, "Okay."
Seeing her being so obedient, Xie Huaizhi's remaining conscience ached slightly, but only for a moment.
Feeling that it was almost done, Xie Huaizhi let go of Lou Jinhuan's hand, smiled, and the light in his eyes gradually faded, "Go on packing your things, I'll help you."
Lou Jinhuan blinked slowly, as if he had just come to his senses, and glanced at Xie Huaizhi doubtfully, "What happened to me just now?"
"It's nothing, maybe you're a little tired?" Xie Huaizhi looked back innocently.
"Maybe." Lou Jinhuan followed his words, turned around and looked around. After making sure that there was nothing missing, he said to Xie Huaizhi: "Here is the mask for you, let's go."
Xie Huaizhi took the mask from her and put it on. The mask was already big, so it fit him just right.
When the two arrived at the lobby, the remaining three people had already come down. As soon as the five of them met, Lou Jinhuan walked out of the inn before they had time to say anything.
The five people hurriedly walked out of the city. They were not blocked when they left the city. They left the control area of Feiyu City. Lou Jinhuan summoned the flying boat and called for everyone to come up.
Xie Huaizhi flew up with difficulty and sat in the back.
Lou Jinhuan glanced at him, said nothing, and sat in the front seat, with Cong Xin next to her.
"Sit tight." Lou Jinhuan reminded, pouring spiritual power into the flying boat, and the flying boat immediately took off and shuttled through the clouds.
"Those men in black probably didn't react. Let's leave quickly. We might just miss them."
Xu Xinghe held his sword and was full of hope.
Cong Xin shook his head, and the bell under the hairband jingled, "I don't think it's that simple. It's better to be careful. What if the other party comes directly outside the city to intercept us after the auction?"
Xu Xinghe: "...Junior sister, it's better not to say such things."
[Don’t set flags randomly! Be careful and it will come true. 】
[Stop talking, it seems to have come true. Look at that dark thing in front of you? 】
[Oh my God, there are so many people! 】
Lou Jinhuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the people gathered in front of him in the darkness, and whispered: "Get ready, we are going to have a fierce battle."
Ling Xiao smiled sadly, "Junior sister shouldn't learn spiritual arts, but should learn the spirit of speech. After all, not everyone has the talent of a crow's mouth."
Cong Xin gritted his teeth: "Shut up."
Xu Xinghe obediently pulled out his sword and did not participate in their bickering.
Xie Huaizhi sat at the back, unarmed and with a gloomy face.
Suddenly there was a sound breaking through the air. He raised his hand and caught it, which was a jade pendant.
Xie Huai was stunned, and raised his eyes to meet Lou Jinhuan's gaze, "It contains my master's full blow, which can protect you. Put it on."
After saying this, Lou Jinhuan turned back and stood up. Her wide robe and wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, making her waist slimmer and taller.
Xie Huaizhi pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the jade pendant.
"Who is coming?"
Lou Jinhuan stretched out her hand, lightning flashed in the air, and the Nine Mysterious Whip fell into her hand.
The flying boat stopped in mid-air, and a man wearing a black-and-red-striped cloak walked out from the opposite side. He raised his head, revealing a bronze fanged ghost mask that seemed to be crying and smiling.
There was black energy floating around him, and he was extremely evil.
Lou Jinhuan recognized him without him having to say anything, "Demon clan member?"
"You still have some eyesight. Since you know that we are demons, I advise you to hand over the fire ice grass honestly. I can still keep your whole body."
The masked man's tone was very contemptuous, and his eyes looked at the building as if he were looking at ants.
"As expected, I came here for the Fire Ice Grass." Lou Jinhuan was not surprised. "The Fire Ice Grass is a holy medicine for healing weapons. You are so anxious to get it. Who among the demons was seriously injured?"
The masked man's eyes widened, the aura around him surged, and the black mist surged and roared towards Lou Jinhuan, "You talk so much."
"It seems so." Lou Jinhuan thought thoughtfully, who should be the general of the Demon Clan who could dispatch so many people.
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty. Give it to me!"
As soon as the masked man gave an order, the dark-skinned people in the black mist immediately rushed over and surrounded the flying boat.
Xie Huaizhi was sitting at the rear, looking at the demon soldiers rushing in front of him. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his head. The pain made him unable to stand and his body swayed.
The nearest demon soldier immediately pointed the knife at his heart. Xie Huaizhi tried to gather his spiritual power, but his spiritual veins were completely dry and he could not squeeze out any spiritual power at all. He was now as fragile as a child.
The knife with the smell of blood swept across. Just when Xie Huaizhi felt desperate, a bolt of lightning came through the clouds with the power of thunder. The demon soldier struck the knife in his hand and instantly turned into powder and dissipated in the wind. No screams were left, only the dazzling flash of lightning proved that he did exist.
Xie Huai was startled, and his waist tightened suddenly. He looked down and saw a strong and delicate whip. With a little force, he flew backwards.
The man in black disappeared in his sight and turned into a strand of long black and blue hair.
He turned his head in confusion and met Shang Jinhuan's gentle gaze, "Stand behind me."
After Xie Huaizhi stood firm, he realized that the other end of the whip was in Lou Jinhuan's hand.
Cong Xin and Xu Xinghe faced Xie Huaizhi with their swords behind each other, and joined forces to repel the enemy. For a moment, various spiritual powers on the flying boat flashed alternately, making people dizzy.
The masked man's face looked ugly, "You have two brushes."
He slapped it with a palm, and there was a faint sound of ghost howling. Lou Jinhuan slapped it with his backhand.
Lightning and thunder stirred up the sky, and the mask on the masked man's face suddenly cracked, revealing an extremely ugly face. He stared at Lou Jinhuan in shock and fear, "You--you are the Spirit King?"
Xie Huai's heart trembled, Spirit King?
