The First Evil Spirit

  The sea outside the imperial capital of Qi is gently rolling.

  A group of high-ranking officials stood on the shore, dressed in extremely luxurious and neat attire, standing there with great respect.

  The first emperor and empress set out in grand style, with the third prince standing beside Xia Xue'er.

  Some eunuchs were standing there trembling with fear, today was indeed a very special day.

  As far as the eye can see, mountains rise and fall, reefs are pitch-black, ships appear and disappear.

  One of the Taoist priests wearing a deep yellow robe stroked his beard lightly and said seriously, "The Heavenly Lord Wúliàng is indeed in a situation where one side is in trouble and eight sides are supporting him. The Heavenly City is also taking this matter very seriously this time, even sending a special envoy to assist, it seems that someone has come to lend a helping hand to the State of Qí in its time of crisis, which shows the spirit of humanitarianism!"

  "The Taoist priest is right, Tiankong City has actually sent someone over, this is indeed a big deal!" said Emperor Qi with a solemn expression.

  "This is also a blessing in disguise, and it's the face of our Qi State." The Empress Dowager said deeply.

  "Not bad, and this time there are more than a dozen Sky City envoys coming. They're not just any ordinary people, but rather many powerful individuals who have brought with them the military defense division of the Qi State's sea domain, divided into eight island strongholds. They propose that we princes each take charge of one stronghold." The Third Prince stood with his hands behind his back, speaking in a clear and unhurried tone.

  "My son really understands a lot and is very well-informed." Qi Hou said with a hint of relief.

  "Your Majesty, the third prince has been working very hard these days."

  "Oh?" Chi Hou's gaze shifted to one side, and he couldn't help but look at Xia Xue'er.

  Only Xia Xue'er was wearing a snow-white dress, which made her figure extremely beautiful, her hair bun was elegant like clouds, and her whole body had a kind of light and ethereal beauty. She murmured: "The third prince is really worried about the country and the people this time. At night, he lights candles and discusses with everyone how to respond. He is very thoughtful."

  Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi also nodded his head, and his gaze towards the Third Imperial Prince had a hint of kindness.

  Many officials hurriedly flattered him with a few words, and the Third Prince's face showed a hint of pleasure.

  But didn't notice that everyone's gaze was directed at them, with a hint of disdain, whether the Third Prince slept or not had nothing to do with her.

  The two aren't married yet, right? They're really close.

  At this time, Ming Jingdao also said: "As for the use of heart, other princes will not be too bad. Just like Wen Renyi, these days he has arranged a large number of people to set up defenses and is very hardworking. He eats and lives with everyone, but unfortunately, his financial resources, material resources, and manpower are all insufficient. However, the local villagers have even taken the initiative to help out, and in the local area, they have won the hearts of the people. Moreover, his wife is also very helpful and not afraid of hard work. She is really a good girl."

  Yu Luo's words fell, and Qi Hou, San Huangzi, and Xia Xuer's faces suddenly turned ugly.

  Especially Xia Xue'er, the jade hand in the wide sleeve clenched tightly, unable to bear a slight tremble.

  A flash of sarcasm and malice crossed her eyes, she had never been surpassed by a woman since she was young.

  What a shame! It's truly a great shame.

  She had arranged for some people to deal with that demon girl earlier.

  Let them set fire to their backyard, and let the people be confused about the chapter law, I don't know what's going on now?

  Everyone was lost in their own thoughts, but the national teacher looked up at the sky with a blank expression and muttered: "I believe that this time the people who came to Tiankong City are not so important, probably just as a kind of practice. After all, Tiankong City is above the world, belongs to the hidden door, turns over for cloud, covers for rain, the life of ordinary people in their eyes is like ants, what does the birth and death of mortals have to do with Tiankong City?"

  The words fell, and everyone's eyes turned to Guoshi, but Guoshi looked up at a distant place.

  Everyone's gaze turned to the sky, where a layer of clouds spread out, colorful clouds flew together, and a flock of geese flew by.

  The leading wild goose was self-satisfied, slowly flapping its wings, when suddenly a black shadow covered the sky above its head.

  Only a huge ship was seen slowly moving in the sky, with a loud "rumbling" sound coming from it. The giant bow of the ship cut through the clouds and fog, flying high, but with a hint of breaking wind and waves. Suddenly, a flock of wild geese were startled and flew away.

  The scene before their eyes shocked everyone, feeling unbelievable, all looking up at the sky.

  "Look, it's coming, it's coming!" a minister exclaimed in surprise.

  "Look, that boat can actually fly by itself."

  "That's not a ship, it's a warship of the Sky City." Someone beside him said calmly, casting a disdainful glance at him.

  Everyone's face was shocked and amazed, seeing such a huge thing flying in the air for the first time.

  However, the ship did not fall down, but instead flew rapidly around the imperial capital of Qi, circling back and forth. At a glance, the flying wheels on both sides of the ship were made of metal, with defensive capabilities that didn't seem very strong, but its speed was extremely impressive, instantly flying out over a hundred miles away.

  "What... what is this? What's going on?" The crowd murmured.

  "What are you looking at here?" someone suddenly asked in a cold voice.

  "Stop arguing, we're watching the ambassador of Sky City."

  His voice grew even colder as he said, "I am the envoy of Tian Kong City. Why are you looking elsewhere?"

  Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze hurriedly turned towards them, and Emperor Qi saw a dozen or so black-robed men standing in front of him.

  Although dressed in black, the crowd's attire was quite luxurious, with sleeves and collars embroidered with beautiful golden patterns.

  Everyone was in their early twenties, with hair scattered down and tied back with a headband. Their posture and tone were very proud, but their faces wore delicate small masks that exposed only the forehead and nose. Although the eyes of the mask were tightly covered, they emitted a faint green glow. However, everyone's skin was very pale, clearly not having seen sunlight for years.

  The Sky City is in the sky, but it's a lush and green place.

  Rumor has it that there are birds singing and flowers fragrant, like a dream, extremely beautiful, the lake is clear, like a poem, like a painting, everyone's skin is fair and smooth.

  "Everyone is a messenger from Tiankong City," Zidi hastily cupped his hands and said, "Then whose warship is that in the sky?"

  "I don't know." The crowd looked at each other in dismay and shook their heads.

  Just then the warship flew back again, suddenly slowed down its speed and slowly fell from the sky.

  A huge gust of wind came head-on, and the countless onlookers around him retreated in unison.

  Only then did the cabin door open, and four maidservants came out first, each one young and beautiful.

  Then a beautiful and elegant woman walked out, and everyone's eyes lit up in front of her.

  Only Zidi's face was somewhat different from usual, and he naturally recognized this woman.

  The woman in front of him was none other than Fang's wife's younger sister, Yu Furen, who is now the queen of Wudou City.

  She wore a phoenix hairpin made of bright pearls hanging from her temple, although she was approaching middle age, her figure was still as youthful as ever, with beautiful skin, elegant and charming. She boldly wore a Tang-style cheongsam dress, revealing a hint of cleavage, with a subtle rise and fall, extremely alluring. At first glance, one could tell that she had a bold personality. The beautiful woman raised an eyebrow, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, and the first thing she said was, "Mirror, where is my son?"

  Mingjingdao Chang hastily lowered his eyebrows and eyes and stepped forward: "Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Venerable of Wu Liang is actually meeting with the lady here..."

  Madam Yu's face sank, "You this garrulous and unceasing Taoist priest, you don't need to be polite with me now. Just now in Wú Shuāng City, I sensed that my son almost used his life-saving move. Is he in danger of losing his life?"

  The young master of Musou Castle's life is in danger? Upon hearing this, everyone's face changed color at the same time.

  Di Zhi's face turned pale in an instant, only then did he realize that Wu Shuang City's young master had encountered trouble within his own country.

  If something happens to him, won't the state of Qi inevitably perish?

  What kind of fool would dare to lay a hand on Yu Shizi?

  Xia Xue'er's face turned pale. She knew that this time it was her turn to make a move, but it was aimed at the demon girl. Was there someone who also wanted to deal with Yu Ran?

  This was truly an unexpected turn of events, and the Third Prince's expression also darkened a bit.

  "Madam Huan, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter."

  The lady's beautiful eyes sparkled with a hint of anger, her gaze sharp as she said, "Misunderstanding? If I were to send someone to kill your entire family and take the throne for myself, would that be just a misunderstanding?"

  Qī Hòu stared with her eyes wide open, almost unable to speak. This woman was just a little girl back then, Fāng Fūrén married into the Qí state, Yuàn Fūrén was still waiting in the boudoir, and because of her overly bold personality, she couldn't get married out. She herself had coldly ridiculed this girl before, but who would have thought that she actually married the lord of Wú Shuāng City and became the princess of Wú Shuāng City? Now it's really like a sparrow turning into a phoenix... no, it should be said that she turned into a real golden phoenix.

  At this time, the third prince stepped forward and said calmly: "This lady, Yu Shizi is now on Island No. 5, fighting against external enemies with Wen Renyi. If you hurry there now, it's still possible to make it."

  Madam Na immediately let out a cold laugh, her eyes flashing with anger. "What a wonderful calculation, the imperial family of Qi is indeed good at calculations! They actually got my son to help defend against external enemies. What kind of virtue and ability do you people have?"

  Qidi's face turned pale again, thinking that he had blocked all the exits of the Qi state himself, and no one could leave. Indeed, it was hard to argue with that now.

  Madam Yu looked at Ming Jingdao and said, "You come with me, we'll talk about Yu Shizi's affairs on the way."

  Miss Ming hastily recited an incantation and said, "Madam, please follow me."

  Madam Yu suddenly turned around, her phoenix eyes flashing like lightning, coldly saying: "I'm going to find my son now. If anything happens to him, you can wait for the destruction of your country."

  Looking at that huge ship soaring into the air, only to see the surface of the warship as if it was covered by countless dense thunder and lightning, almost making people's eyes unable to gaze directly.

  The warship let out a thunderous roar and instantly transformed into a storm of lightning, as if this space was about to be torn apart. The warship, however, sped rapidly towards Island No. 5.

  The people around were frightened and relieved at last.

  At this time, Guoshi looked at the dumbfounded Tiankong City messenger and hurriedly said with a serious expression: "Everyone please follow me."

  ……

  In the forest, looking around with a glance, it is indeed mountain ranges rising and falling, strange peaks steep and precipitous.

  The mountains are layered and towering, with white clouds and mist swirling around.

  Even in the woods there are some mountain streams and secluded pools, waterfalls splashing hundreds of feet, all kinds of rare and exotic plants can be seen everywhere.

  Su Mo and Yu Ran slowly had their meal in the small courtyard, this ordinary farmhouse dish was eaten for nearly half a day.

  At this time, the wooden mechanical bird outside the window had flown back with a flutter.

  Yu Ran patted the bird's head, and a clear, cold voice came from inside, "Since you two are fine, I'll withdraw the people searching for you. My manpower is really insufficient here, and Mo Er, remember to come back early. Yu Ran, take good care of her, if she has any discomfort, I will hold you responsible."

  "What a good question." Yu Ran immediately stretched out her finger and tapped the table, saying in a bad tone, "This Wen Renyi is just fond of ordering Young Master around."

  Listening to Wen Renyi's elegant and pleasant voice, Su Mo's eyes sparkled with delight, her emotions gradually calming down.

  It has been an hour since I met Shifu, although she is very strong-minded, but also will be an exception to feel uneasy.

  At this moment, her mood was like the sea after a stormy rain, with ups and downs, but no longer with great waves.

  Su Mo picked up the mechanical bird, gently patted its head, and made an effort to make his voice sound normal, with a calm expression and a soft tone: "Wen Ren, remember to take care of yourself, don't overwork, I'm not by your side, you have to eat on time."

  She gently patted the bird's head, and it immediately spread its wings and flew out.

  Witnessing all of this, a thoughtful emotion flashed in Shi Mian's eyes.

  Yu Ran ate two mouthfuls of fruit and saw Su Mo's complexion gradually recovering its color, he was overjoyed in his heart, slowly stretched a lazy waist, while chatting with her, coincidentally a glib talker, on the other hand, imperceptibly narrowed the distance between the two. However, every time he shifted his buttocks slightly, Su Mo would slowly pull away from him a little, and her expression was distracted. Yu Ran continued to seemingly unintentionally lean in close to her, really persistent.

  Looking at the movements of the two people in front of him, Shi Yuan's eyes swept over Su Mo and then Yu Ran, with a smile on his lips.

  If you look at him closely, his smile is like a carving on his face, with no change in curvature.

  He inadvertently stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched the position on his chest.

  After dinner, Shi Ming took the two of them to the organ room on the third floor.

  ……

  The warship flew at a very fast speed, like lightning and an arrow, and the scenes of mountains and rivers below disappeared in an instant.

  It seems that everything below is false, those undulating mountains, those city walls, those towering palaces.

  At this time, in the grand hall of the warship, several beautiful maids had already prepared a rare and fragrant hot tea. The walls around the ship were adorned with tapestries, and on top, a piece of crystal glass shone brightly, truly a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

  Madam Yu's silk skirt trailed on the ground as she gazed coldly at Dao Zhang, "Dao Zhang, you said my son stayed here for a woman?"

  Mingjing's eyebrows twitched involuntarily and he nodded with a guilty conscience, "That's right, Yu Shizi has taken a liking to a woman."

  Madam's eyes sparkled with a hint of curiosity as she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What woman?"

  Ming Mirror knew that speaking out would definitely make the other party furious, and hung his eyelids to say: "I don't know, I think Mrs. Fang should know."

  Upon hearing Fang Furen's name, Yuan Furen's face slightly sank, and she stretched out her slender jade fingers to poke at the fluffy pastry in front of her.

  Although she is a middle-aged woman, there are some girlish recklessness and arrogance in the details of her movements. She said with some resentment: "It's all because of that sister, who has wronged my son Yu Ran so much. Now you actually mention this person again. I didn't expect that even things she knows, I don't know as the empress. Does Yu Ran still have me in his eyes? Does Fang Furen still have me in her eyes as a younger sister?"

  Bright mirror road long hangs head and stands, does not dare speak.

  That Infinite Heaven Lord, he really isn't stirring up trouble, really isn't!

  This lady, although lower in status than him, was not one bit inferior to the lord of Wudang Castle in terms of aura. She was originally a lioness from the east of the river, a shrewd woman, a beautiful and spicy pepper beauty. No matter how fiercely she scolded, her appearance became more and more stunning. The majestic Lord of Wudang Castle was surprisingly subdued by her, and he ended up marrying only her in his entire life, having only one son with her, Yu Ran.

  At this time, Madame Yu's heart was once again filled with discontent and extreme anger, saying: "This palace's sister originally had a somewhat pitiful life, I even sympathized with her. Who would have thought that later on she actually instilled some romantic and decadent ideas into my son? He didn't read good books, instead he went to write those kinds of novels! In the end, she even established a Golden Jade Hall, and even neglected martial arts. If it were just that, it would be fine, but her own son actually went to Kunlun Mountain to become a sword cultivator. My son will inherit Wuduo City in the future, ah! It's really too hateful!"

  Mingjing Road was embarrassed and smiled, but he knew that Yuanyuan's wife had a sharp tongue and a soft heart.

  The two sisters were very close, and no matter what, she still valued Fang's wife highly.

  Madam Yu was still in a huff, extremely annoyed, and said: "My husband spent money to support the Hundred Flowers Hall some time ago. Who knew it would be ruined by that stinky little brat? What a waste of talent, unfortunately not used for good purposes."

  "Young people are always like this, fond of rebelling." Ming Jing said with a long cough.

  "He's no longer a young man, already twenty years old. As the saying goes, there are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the worst. Yu Ran has abandoned his own parents, this behavior has been impeached by the officials countless times, even demanding to replace him as the heir, unworthy son. This unworthy son, if the woman he likes isn't a good woman, I'll pull out his tendons, strip off his skin, and bring him back to Wú Shuāng City to be imprisoned, feed him some medicine, and send some women to him, after he has children, then release him."

  The bright mirror reflects a long way, but it's not because of the support of the eyebrows. This mother is really too domineering!

  If I were Yu Shizi, I'm afraid... there wouldn't be time to laugh.

  This is true, not false, he wants to return to secular life, really wants to return to secular life.

  At this time, the boat slowed down slowly, and Madam Yu asked: "Where?"

  Ming Jing Road pointed down at a seaside area and said: "Wen Renyi is in that area."

  ……

  Master's small building, three floors, office room.

  When Su Mo stepped into the office, he saw that it was indeed similar to his previous life.

  It seems that there are many things, on the ground, on the shelves, and on the walls, all kinds of mechanical parts are hung, but they are arranged in an orderly manner. The mechanisms inside are dazzling, with everything you need, a wide variety of species, and a multitude of patterns, making people's eyes dizzy. Su Mo walked past each shelf, his eyes filled with familiar small mechanical objects from the past.

  Yu Ran was taken aback for a moment, his eyes darting back and forth, even he who had seen much of the world was completely captivated.

  After taking a look around, Yu Ran raised an eyebrow and his eyes caught sight of some rare and unusual treasures. He couldn't help but wave his fan and praise in a lazy, low voice: "Even the tools here are rare, the mechanical arts are indeed profound and intricate. Just seeing these things makes me feel extremely astonished."

  Shi Yin smiled lightly and spoke calmly, "Yu Shizi only saw a part of it. This place is just one of my small mechanism rooms. The real large-scale mechanism room is as big as a battlefield."

  At this time, Su Mo was slowly and carefully playing with a mechanical insect.

  She gave him a sideways glance, thinking to herself that he actually had a large organ room.

  Her eyes sank, and she thought to herself that her past life was indeed unknown, unclear about everything.

  Yu Ran couldn't help but say: "It's just like Master Ling's three mechanical beasts, this house is probably too small to accommodate them."

  Shi Yin smiled faintly: "That's right, those were built inside large mechanical rooms."

  Yu Ran curiously approached a mechanical dog and gently patted it, saying: "Master Ling, what materials are these puppets made of?"

  "The mechanical puppet is different from other mechanisms, after all, it belongs to the active mechanism of attack and defense, so it is very particular about the materials used in its creation. It can be made with mineral metal, but this kind of mechanical puppet would be too expensive and heavy, making it inconvenient to move around. Therefore, it's best to choose some materials that are easy to shape and have been aged for over a hundred years, such as mineral wood, which is very solid and flexible at the same time."

  "I see, interesting." Yu Ran stroked his chin.

  "By the way, I just saw two broken wooden mechanical beasts outside. Are they Miss Yaoji's?" Shī Yuàn slowly looked towards Sū Mò.

  "It's mine." Su Mo nodded slightly, his tone already very calm and unruffled.

  Her two wooden mechanical beasts were slightly inferior in material, so they were easily destroyed by Hua Xiangyue.

  "But I can see that the girl's craftsmanship is very good." Master Sui said with a smile, "Very much like a famous master's style."

  "Mr. Ling's praise is misplaced." Su Mo lowered her eyelids, he had personally taught her back then, so naturally her craftsmanship was not bad.

  "By the way, Mr. Ling, how can these large mechanisms be moved?" Yu Ran continued to ask in a soft voice.

  Shi Yin held a crystal stone, as if plucking a flower from the air, and said calmly: "Yu Shizi asked a good question. Apart from materials, it also requires a considerable number of spirit stones. After all, the mechanical beast won't move on its own and needs to be controlled by human consciousness in daily life. However, for large-scale puppet movements, some energy is needed to drive the array patterns, so when refining, spirit stones must be added to the eyes or other parts, only then can it move."

  "It's indeed ingenious, so in order to control these mechanical puppets, one must divide their divine consciousness into countless parts at the same time, right?"

  "What Yu Shizi said is quite right." Shi Mian nodded slightly.

  "If a person's divine consciousness is stronger, then there will be more manipulated puppets?"

  "That's right."

  Yu Ran stood up, stroking his chin as if in thought. He recalled the numerous mechanisms he had seen on his way here, but most of them required spiritual energy to control. Suddenly, he realized that this Shifu's spiritual energy was extremely powerful and exceptional.

  He shouldn't be able to know Su Mo's pure yin body?

  At this time he glanced at Shi Yun, Shi Yun's white clothes fluttered, clear and quiet, as still as snow, with a spirit like jade.

  His eyes were obscured by a lifelike butterfly mask, with silver snow flowing, and his eyes could not be seen clearly in the dark.

  Not to mention his mysterious identity, just looking at him makes you feel very mysterious.

  "Master Yu, I'd like to learn the art of puppetry from you. Is that possible?" At this moment, Su Mo's lips lightly opened, and her eyes flowed with infinite elegance. Although she wasn't close to Master Yu at this point, there was indeed a mechanism here that had moved her heart greatly. She hadn't learned it before, and he hadn't taught it to her either.

  "Young lady, you might as well say it first, what kind of mechanism technique do you want to learn?" asked Master Sui.

  "Humanoid puppet." Su Mo said leisurely.

  "Young lady, why are you so eager to learn this and that? Mr. Lian is not familiar with us either."

  Yu Ran touched his nose and deliberately pulled himself closer to Su Mo's relationship.

  "I'm quite perceptive and a quick learner, I think anyone who likes the art of manipulation would, upon seeing Master Ling, make an unreasonable request." Su Mo said this with a completely straight face, in a calm and composed tone.

  "The young lady is indeed clever and eager to learn. Take this book of human puppetry, it has detailed records inside."

  As he spoke, Shifu had already tossed over a booklet with his hand.

  Her gaze fell upon the book, and she stretched out her slender white hand to gently stroke it. The pattern on the cover was very simple, but for a moment, Su Mo's eyes became complex and distant. She suddenly remembered when she first transmigrated into this world, unfamiliar with everything. In the study room, she had randomly picked up a book to flip through, only to find her eyes uncomfortable, and when she looked at the candle flame, the book had accidentally caught fire. It turned out that the book was the one used to create the human puppet. At that time, she had been flustered and never mentioned it again, until she completely forgot about it.

  She couldn't help but smile, it turned out that the master thought she didn't like humanoid puppets or was afraid of being embarrassed by remembering this matter, so he deliberately didn't teach her about humanoid puppets, not intentionally reserved, it was actually like that.

  She finally let out a deep sigh and raised her eyes to say softly: "Thank you, Mr. Yan."

  "Thank you, Mr. Yan, we've seen enough." At this time, Yu Ran also came forward to thank him.

  "It doesn't matter, let's all go downstairs and have some tea." Shī Yuàn said softly.

  Just as the three of them had just come out of the office, suddenly there was a sound of flapping wings outside the window.

  "The bird is back, I wonder what Yu Yan said this time?" Yu Ran immediately swung her fan and gently patted the bird's head.

  Another voice quickly came from the body of that bird, but it was not Wen Renyi. "Wu Liang Tianzun, Yu Ran, the situation is urgent. I have a good news and a bad news to tell you."

  Yu Ran burst out laughing and said, "This Wen Renyi is really boring, actually coming to play such a joke on me."

  "The good news is that you didn't come back earlier, or else you would have been in big trouble." The person opposite him said with a tense tone.

  "What? What's the bad news?" Yu Ran stretched and chuckled lightly.

  "Bad news is that your mom has arrived, she's now looking for you everywhere. I'm telling you before she comes over, she wants to lock you up, but your dad absolutely doesn't agree with her way of doing things, so I'm just giving you a heads up... Ah no! Trouble!"

  Just then, a loud chirping noise came from the direction of the birds again.

  Then came a cacophony of sounds, slamming doors, and a flurry of chaotic footsteps.

  Soon, the sound of "pitter-patter" gang fight and melee was heard, followed by a woman's voice, "You guys beat him hard, teach this mirror who eats inside and outside a lesson. He was just a poor Taoist priest who liked to deceive people at first, relying on his little skills to mix until today. Are you listening to me or the city master? I knew you were sending messages to Yu Ran. Is my wrist really that scary? And... Ran, I heard you have a woman you like now, is that true?"

  Dye! Dye! This sound was like a thunderclap on a clear day, an earth-shattering crash that exploded in Yu Ran's mind.

  "Dye, daughter this time came over to find you, is to see what kind of woman you like."

  "If you look good, have a good family background, and are clean and honest, then marrying you is fine, Mom won't say anything."

  "If the conditions are a bit poor and the family background is not good, but as long as she's clean and honest, I'll take her in as a concubine, Mother won't say anything."

  "If she's nothing to you, or if you're not even looking for a woman, then go back with your mother. We'll start arranging blind dates for you from tomorrow, and you can choose from 20 women every day, or 10 if that's too many! Your mother won't force you, Dye... hurry up and come back...". But all she could hear was the voice on the other end growing more urgent, with a hint of tears: "Dye, don't you want your mother anymore? It's been so long since we've had a peaceful meal together as a family. Your mother is calling you to come home for dinner!"

  With a "crack", the fan was broken again.

  Yu Ran's eyes suddenly lost their focus, her heart racing like a thousand horses, completely losing her composure.

  He was seen with cold sweat dripping down his face, his eyes drifting away, and his usual carefree and casual demeanor was completely gone.

  Su Mo looked at Yu Ran in front of him and couldn't help but reveal a sympathetic gaze, with a hint of schadenfreude in his heart.

  Yu Ran's mother was indeed a bit frightening in her personality, clearly being sisters with Lady Fang, yet they were fundamentally two completely different people.

  No wonder he's in a hurry to find his fiancée, it seems that his own unruly behavior was also forced.

  At this time, Shi Yin smiled and said: "It seems that Yu Shizi should go back."

  Yu Ran came back to his senses, his face still somewhat pale. "Mr. Ling, no, Brother Ling, I have an unreasonable request at this moment. Just now, you've already agreed to the unreasonable request of Miss Yaoji, so you must also agree to mine."

  "What's the matter." Shi Ying asked gently.

  Yu Ran coughed and let out a heavy sigh, his face slightly embarrassed as he said: "Brother Yun is definitely a Bodhisattva with a kind heart. If I go back, I'll definitely be imprisoned, and the place where I live won't be comfortable at all. Moreover, in Wushuang City, my trusted subordinates are not enough, and I'm afraid of some people stabbing me in the back when doing things. So, please, Brother Yun, take me in for a few days and let me temporarily avoid this storm."

  "Actually, you can stay here, this place is hidden and I'm afraid no one will be able to find it."

  Yu Ran's lips curled up slightly, "Really? Can it be done? Mr. Yan, you're really a good person."

  Su Mo watched the commotion for a while and smiled: "Since you're here, I'll just head back myself."

  Shi Yin turned around and said lightly, "Miss Yaoji, the other party's strength is not to be underestimated, someone will definitely follow the transmission bird to come. However, in my place, there are layers of arrays, so they can't get in at all. Therefore, Yu Shizi is very safe here. If you go out like this, you will definitely be caught by them."

  Yu Ran nodded immediately, "Mr. Ling is right, I know my mother's temper, when she gets angry, nothing else matters."

  Su Mo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, what was this? A disaster that came out of nowhere?

  Yu Ran was already sitting in front of the desk, pouring herself a drink and saying calmly: "No matter what, I'll just stay at Mr. Yan's place for now, and not go anywhere else recently."

  "But I heard someone is still outside, I have to go back." Su Mo knew he couldn't stay here for too long.

  At this time, Shi Yin turned his head and muttered: "Actually, Wen Ren Gongzi can also come over to live, my place is closer to the coast."

  Su Mo's face suddenly sank, she didn't want to show affection with her husband in front of the man she liked in her previous life, this situation was indeed a bit eerie.

  Yu Ran said: "Right, I heard Mr. Xuan's meaning, is there another exit here?"

  The teacher nodded, "Not bad, there's a cave here that leads directly to the sea."

  Su Mo knew that this person always left some secret passages and so on, but didn't know what he was hiding from.

  "She said in a low voice: 'Then I'll just follow the cave back.'"

  Shi Yin slowly shook his head, "Only during the full moon tide can you return, now inside are all blood-sucking bats, and the mountain cave is crisscrossed with paths, miss, it's impossible to find your way back."

  Su Mo naturally knew that when the tide rose, the sea was roaring, and the bats couldn't tell the direction.

  At this time, if you want to go back, wouldn't it be necessary to have a great battle with the bat for 300 rounds? Can't help but hesitate.

  Yu Ran lazily lay on the table, slowly drinking his rice porridge, and chuckled softly: "Yao Ji, agree to stay here, you can't do anything back there anyway. Besides, the environment is so good here, and Master Ling has a way with guests. Why go back to suffer? Moreover, hiding here will also make Yu Yi feel at ease, won't it?"

  "By the way, Yu Ran, when is your mother going back?" Su Mo thought that this woman was the biggest hidden danger.

  Yu Ran was about to habitually wave the fan, but remembered that she had already broken it. She said with a huff: "She's still in a bad mood now, maybe after some time has passed, I can go out and have a good talk with her. Anyway, you just relax."

  As he spoke, he slowly yawned and suddenly felt his eyelids getting heavier.

  Su Mo couldn't help but yawn, her body feeling tired and heavy. She thought to herself that it was probably because she hadn't rested well the night before. So, she also leaned on the desk, gradually closing her eyes.

  A white gauze flashed by, and in front of her eyes was that man in white with a hint of a smile on his lips.

  ……

  A huge airship has landed outside the forest, and a group of people have started searching in the woods.

  Madam Huan gave a cold glance at Mingjing Daozhang, who was kneeling beside her with a bruised and swollen face. She held a feathered fan in her hand and sat elegantly on the stool, her high bun resembling clouds, as if the Heavenly Queen had descended to the mortal world.

  However, all around was a blur, with fog swirling and everything hazy.

  The surroundings are filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, a little floating.

  The fragrance of flowers and the sweet songs of birds are heard without end.

  At this time, a group of guards came forward and said: "Lady Yu, we can't find where that bird flew to."

  Madam Yu's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and upon hearing this, she immediately raised her hand and slapped him, "Useless thing."

  Although the guard was hit, it didn't hurt much; he knew that Madam Yu had always been ill-tempered.

  He then knelt down and said: "However, along the way, I found some people who were seriously injured, and there was a man in black clothes. At first glance, he was killed by the young master."

  "All right, ask them where Young Master has gone." Madam Yu said through gritted teeth.

  "However, they all bit their tongues and died." The guard found it difficult to speak.

  "Slap" Another slap landed on his face, and Madame Yu's expression was displeased as she said: "Next time get to the point."

  "Yes, yes." The guard nodded repeatedly.

  Madam Yu suddenly looked sorrowful, took a few slow steps forward, and loudly called out in the woods: "Yan Yan, I know you're inside, say one sentence to me, we can discuss anything, isn't that right?"

  For quite some time, there was no sound in the woods.

  Madam Yun's lips pursed slightly, "Yan Yan, I won't force you anymore, just come out."

  At this time, Ming Jing Dao Chang slowly opened his eyelids, which had swollen to the size of a walnut, and thought to himself: If it were Dye Gongzi who came out, it wouldn't be like this. He estimated that he would still be beaten and skinned, then imprisoned, fed medicine, and afterwards a group of beauties would be sent over. A year later, a little young master would be born... Such shameless things, such base things... Why did they never happen to him?

  Just as she was thinking, a loud mechanical sound suddenly came from the forest, and Yuanyuan's wife was taken aback.

  All that was seen was a huge wooden scorpion slowly crawling out, with a terrifying appearance, but on its back was the figure of a man in blue clothes.

  Madam carefully took a look and excitedly called out: "It's Yan."

  "Hurry up and rescue him, why has he fainted?"

  "Don't worry, madam, he's just fallen asleep."

  ……

  In the woods, white fog fills the air, a man holds a green paper umbrella, wearing a long white robe.

  The man stood just ten yards away from them, yet no one noticed his presence.

  Only the master's wind and grace are like thin clouds covering the bright moon, as if the green water is washing the lotus pond, like the clear wind sweeping the jade flower, surpassing the white jade carved hairpin flower. The face is truly warm and elegant like jade, with a shallow and gentle smile on the beautiful face of orchid and iris, and the dark eyes hide a fleeting smile, gazing at the distant Yu dye.

  At this time, a person walked out from behind him, with a seductive face, it was Hua Xirong. He said lightly: "You actually handed over Yu Ran, didn't you see the true face of that demon girl? Why did you keep her and hand over Yu Ran?"

  The teacher smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

  Hua Xiangyong continued: "And you just promised him that you would keep his? Why did you go back on your word?"

  "It's just that I don't want to disappoint her."

  "But you've already disappointed her."

  "So she fell asleep too, unaware of what happened afterwards."

  "I think you're just not interested in her, but she's pretty good-looking." Huā Xī Róng asked with some surprise.

  Shi Yin touched her chest, and a wave of heat came from there. The man said in a low voice: "This woman gives me a special feeling."

  Hua Xirong swept him with a glance, "What's your impression?"

  Shi Yin's lips curled up slightly, a smile with elegance, "It's a very strange feeling, this demon girl seems to have a familiar feeling."

  "Do you like her?" Huaxian Rong suddenly smiled slyly.

  "How is it possible? How can I like a woman in such a short time? It's just uncomfortable here." He pointed to his chest.
