Chapter 109

  The enchanting face of the demon queen flashed with a faint hint of surprise. If her opponent could dispel this ancient seal without relying on external forces, did that also mean she had the ability to unseal the sealed heart of the demon?

  As soon as this idea emerged, it immediately occupied the entire mind of Yaoji Meiji like a tide; there was no way to resist, the temptation in front of Yaoji Meiji was too great; she simply didn't have the determination to resist such temptation.

  No, she had to capture her opponent herself; then let her replace herself to unseal the seal of Sutah's witch heart, this idea sprouted in the mind of Yao Ji Mei Ji like a seed; and grew wildly.

  The more the demon queen thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was feasible. She decided that no matter what, she had to let her subordinates capture the white-clothed woman who was with Yan Hongye alive.

  Lin Ruo Lan didn't know that her unintentionally revealed move had made her remembered by others.

  The abacus of the charming girl is indeed well-played, but she has neglected one thing; this ideal is plump and full, but reality is very bony!

  The abacus is clicking away, but I don't know if it can be achieved!

  "Lan Yi, take a few people to quietly capture that white-clothed masked woman." The enchantress Mei Ji nodded at Lan Yi's name, letting her lead her own little demons to catch Lin Ruolan.

  The demon princess didn't know that this unintentional decision would make her fall from being a high and mighty demon princess to becoming a lowly spirit pet bound by contract to a human.

  If the demon queen knew that it was just an unintentional decision, and as a result she lost her freedom; I wonder if she would regret it? This demon queen, who had been so smug and self-satisfied, soon experienced what it meant to regret.

  "Yes, sir!" The blue-clad figure bowed his head respectfully and replied in a low voice.

  Unbeknownst to him, the blue-clothed man with downcast eyes silently rolled his eyes in his heart; he was inwardly cursing his luck, wondering who he had offended; whether it was Mo Jun Ye Qi, Yan Hong Ye, or that white-clothed masked woman who was with them; these people all looked like they were not to be trifled with.

  That damned witch, Mei Ji, actually let herself sneak up on people, humph... In her opinion, it's more suitable for others to catch her; thinking so, the blue-clothed one quickly took a few small demons and disappeared in front of Mei Ji.

  Nie Xiaoqian had been keeping an eye on Yaoni and Meijie, as well as the blue-clothed man's every move. After the blue-clothed man left with the little monsters, Nie Xiaoqian saw that only three to five small monsters of average strength were left beside Yaoni and Meijie, and her mind began to stir.

  Now is a good opportunity, the little monsters have been taken away by the blue clothes, and if they don't leave now, it may be difficult to find another suitable opportunity to leave. However, when Nie Xiaoqian thought of being locked up by Yao Ji Mei Ji, that bookworm named Ning Caichen, her expression became a bit hesitant again.

  I still have some minor magic, but Ning Caichen is a bookworm who doesn't even have the strength to tie up a chicken; if I bring him along, it's likely we'll have a hard time escaping from here successfully.

  Nie Xiaoqian's face was filled with difficulty, and she furrowed her brow. As soon as she thought of Ning Caichen's handsome face, and how he looked foolish every time he saw her, Nie Xiaoqian, who had just fallen in love, couldn't help but blush.

  Forget it! I'll just go all out!

  Nie Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and finally made a decision, she would sneak to the back first to rescue Ning Caichen, that bookworm; then bring Ning Caichen with herself to escape from Lanruo Temple. Anyway, Seventh Brother had already arrived; as long as they had enough time to escape to Seventh Brother's side, she wouldn't be afraid of any demoness or enchantress.

  Nie Xiaoqian made this relatively bold decision precisely because she had overheard the conversation between Blue Clothes and the two demon girls, Mo Jun and Mei Ji, and knew that Demon King Qi Ye had already arrived at Lanruo Temple.

  Taking advantage of the fact that Yaoji and Meiji were not paying attention, Nie Xiaoqian's white figure disappeared in an instant; however, what Nie Xiaoqian did not expect was that a small monster named Xiaoxue had been watching her every move from behind. Just as Nie Xiaoqian disappeared, this little monster also followed suit and vanished into thin air.

  In the back of the Lanruo Temple, in a cell used to hold food, a young man was being held; wearing a blue robe that had been washed white, with a pale face that looked malnourished for a long time, not like the usual robust and handsome men; his facial features were delicate and refined, with a hint of elegance; he was an extremely elegant and refined gentleman.

  He is Nie Xiaoqian who left the Yin Yue Imperial Court this time and fell in love with a man at first sight; a bookworm named Ning Caichen.

  Ning Caichen, dressed in a pale blue robe that had been washed until it was almost white, sat dejectedly in a corner, his eyes fixed on the skylight above him as a multitude of emotions swirled inside.

  Since Ning Caichen had memory, he only had a mother; and his own mother also had a strange mental illness, most of the time his mother spent in madness; only a small part of the time was sober.

  The days slipped away with Ning Caichen and his mother, the two relying on each other for survival; although their lives were simple and poor, they were very fulfilling for Ning Caichen. However, because Ning's mother had a mental illness, their home was truly impoverished. As long as Ning had some silver in hand, he would use it to buy medicine for his mentally ill mother; there was no savings at all.

  It's just that this clever woman found it hard to cook without rice, because the triennial imperial examination was approaching; Ning Caichen's family didn't have a penny, as the saying goes, "a single coin can bring down a hero"; in order to raise enough money for the trip to Beijing, Ning Caichen started looking for work everywhere; wanting to raise enough travel expenses in the shortest time.

  This time he just wanted to make up for the travel expenses to Beijing, so he reluctantly took an order; it was just to collect debts on behalf of a money house, but the place where he collected debts was a bit strange; it was actually a place he had never heard of before - Nanguo Town!

  Nanguo Town is a place, and no one in the Sunrise City where he lives has ever heard of it. He himself doesn't know where Nanguo Town is either. If it weren't for the generous payment offered by the other party, Ning Caichen wouldn't have taken on this task so recklessly.

  After great difficulty and effort, Ning Caichen finally found out the location of Nanguo Town; it took him almost a month to get from Riyue Mountain City to Nanguo Town, but he hadn't even entered the town yet. It was during his overnight stay at Lanruo Temple that he met a beautiful girl named Nie Xiaoqian.

  If it were someone else, this desolate mountain and wild ridge; also in the wilderness outside the broken temple, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared; no matter who would have some doubts, but Ning Caichen was good; not only did he not suspect Nie Xiaoqian at all, but he also told Nie Xiaoqian about his ancestors for eight generations.

  I've seen stupid people before, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as Ning Caichen; he's actually managed to get himself killed. But who knows, maybe this Ning Caichen really does have some luck on his side.

  Ning Caichen's foolishness unexpectedly won Nie Xiaoqian's favor, not only did she not take Ning Caichen's yang energy on the spot to offer to the demoness Mei Ji for enjoyment; but instead, under Nie Xiaoqian's design, Ning Caichen temporarily escaped the disaster of extinction.

  This really proved the old saying, "Fools have good luck"; it's not entirely false, but more or less; here, it can't be denied that there is a part of the reason, because Ning Caichen has a pretty good face.

  To be honest, Ning Caichen is quite handsome and can be considered a refined and elegant young scholar, but compared to Mo Jun Qi Ye, he still falls short. It's really puzzling why Nie Xiaoqian would overlook the high-end and elegant Mo Jun Qi Ye and instead fall for Ning Caichen, who is just a bookworm.

  What the...? That look in Nian Xiaqing's eyes really makes people quite afraid to compliment her.

  However, it's not that there isn't such a thing, probably because Nie Xiaoqian has been looking at Mo Junyi's face for over a decade; this is what caused aesthetic fatigue. So when Nie Xiaoqian saw Ning Caichen, who was completely different from Mo Junyi in terms of type, she ended up liking him instead.

  It's just fate!

  Ning Cai Chen is really a guy who lacks a screw in his brain, he's already been locked up; what he's worried about now isn't his own safety, Ning Cai Chen is worried that; usually Nie Xiao Qian would come to see him early in the morning, today it's almost noon; yet he still hasn't seen Nie Xiao Qian's shadow, could something have happened?

  Ning Caichen was thinking of Nian Xiaoyan, and immediately he heard Nian Xiaoyan's pleasant voice whispering in his ear: "Ning Caichen... stinky bookworm..."

  Ning Caichen fixed his eyes and took a closer look, at the white-clad woman who had slipped in from the doorway; it couldn't be anyone else but Nie Xiaoqian he was just thinking about.

  "Xiao Qian, you've finally arrived." Ning Cai Chen was excited as soon as he saw Nie Xiao Qian: "I thought time had passed and you wouldn't be coming today, Xiao Qian."

  Nie Xiaoqian looked at Ning Caichen with the same excited face, and even her voice unconsciously carried a few happy feelings.

  "Ning Cai Chen, I'm telling you; soon we can leave this Lanruo Temple."

  Ning Cai Chen looked at Nie Xiaoqian with a confused expression, his eyebrows furrowed: "Xiaoqian, can you make it clearer? What do you mean by 'we can leave Lanyifu Temple soon'? Are you planning to escape?"

  Ning Cai Chen widened his eyes and looked at Nie Xiaoqian, with a worried face, saying: "But last time, didn't you say that the one called Yao Ji Mei Ji was very powerful; we simply wouldn't have any chance of escaping?"

  Nie Xiaoqian explained to Ning Caichen, "Ning Caichen, don't worry, today there are several very powerful people who know magic outside the Lanruo Temple. The demoness Mei is too busy to bother with us, and my Seventh Night brother has also arrived. Even if we were discovered by the demoness Mei, with Seventh Night brother here, nothing will happen."

  Others may not be sure, but for Mo Jun Qi Ye, Nie Xiaoqian is very confident! Her own Seventh Night brother is the Holy Lord of the Yin Yue Imperial Court, the master of the Demon Realm; how could he not be a match for the demon queens and enchantresses? This statement would not be believed no matter where it was said.
