Li Mei looked at Er Zhu with complex emotions, wishing she could engrave him into her memory so she could find him in the next life.
Swish...
A gust of wind blew, and Er Zhu suddenly appeared in front of her!
Before Li Mei could react, Er Zhu pulled her behind him. At the same time, the dozen or so ghost shadows, guided by the copper coins, rushed towards Miao Ying!
"Idiot, go over there!"
Miao Ying's eyes widened, and he roared in anger. But he seemed to have forgotten that these ghost shadows had no sentience; they could only attack according to the Feng Shui formation.
And just now, a copper coin had landed in the Feng Shui formation, completely changing its layout!
The controller became the target of the attack, and the target of the attack became the controller!
"Ah!"
Instantly, the ghost shadows pierced through Miao Ying's body. Miao Ying let out a heart-wrenching roar!
Following that, his inhuman, non-ghostly face was revealed!
It turned out that Miao Ying's constant hiding within the black robe was not for the sake of mystery, but because his body had undergone drastic changes through countless Gu poison experiments!
His body had been invaded by Gu poison, his skin as black as coal!
His eyeballs were bulging so much they were about to fall out, all his teeth had fallen out, and his lips were a dark purple!
Seeing such a terrifying face, Li Mei instinctively moved closer to Er Zhu's embrace. She could only bear to look for a moment before trembling with fear!
Bang!
Miao Ying collapsed heavily onto the ground, his eyes still filled with anger and unwillingness!
He had spent day and night arranging the Feng Shui formation with the sole purpose of killing Er Zhu, only to end up being the one who died!
A generation of Gu poison master thus perished!
And to make matters worse, he died at the hands of an unknown nobody!
As Miao Ying died, the ghost shadows also vanished, and the four copper coins disappeared into Er Zhu's body. Everything returned to peace.
Feng Ruo Shuang watched the scene before her, her eyes filled with shock and fear. She slumped to the ground, staring blankly at everything.
It was all over!
Her master's meticulously planned operation for a month had ended with his death. What a great irony...
"Er Zhu,呜呜... Er Zhu..."
Li Mei, having recovered, hugged Er Zhu tightly. She had a thousand words she wanted to say to him, but in the end, all she could do was repeatedly call his name.
As if only by doing so could she feel at ease!
"It's alright, Sister Mei. He's dead now."
A flicker of heartache flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He hugged Li Mei back, gently patting her back to comfort her.
Fortunately, he had returned!
A thrill of having regained something lost made Er Zhu incredibly excited. He slowly tightened his grip on Li Mei, as if only this could prove she was by his side!
"Um, Er Zhu, could you take off your jacket for me? My clothes..."
After hugging for who knew how long, a gust of wind blew, and Li Mei suddenly remembered something.
Following Li Mei's gaze, Er Zhu saw the situation. A blush crept onto his face, and he quickly took off his jacket.
"Is it really necessary? Aren't people very open-minded these days? What are you two pretending for?"
As Li Mei was putting on her clothes, Feng Ruo Shuang, who had been watching for a long time, spoke with a hint of disdain in her angry eyes.
Their embrace just now had been so close they were almost one, and now they were acting shy. These people were truly amusing!
"It's over now. You should go wherever you came from, and we're leaving too."
A trace of awkwardness flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. As he walked past Feng Ruo Shuang, he said this and then pulled Li Mei forward.
"Just leaving like this? If I hadn't brought you here, this woman would have been dead long ago!"
Feng Ruo Shuang would not easily let Er Zhu go. She turned her head, a cold glint in her eyes.
Men were so heartless, discarding her after she helped. He clearly knew her feelings!
"There are plenty of men here. Pick any one you like."
Er Zhu rubbed his eyes and pointed to the men in cages not far away, responding perfunctorily.
"Wang Er Zhu, do you have a heart at all? You know very well that you're the only one I want!"
Feng Ruo Shuang walked over, furious, her eyes wide and her voice a roar of anger.
If Feng Ruo Shuang wanted a man, would she lack suitors? But now, all she wanted was to be with Er Zhu!
Even if it was just for one night!
"That's impossible. I still have important matters to attend to. I warn you, don't pester me."
Er Zhu glanced at Feng Ruo Shuang with a firm tone. Feng Ruo Shuang was about to chase after him, but seeing Er Zhu's icy gaze, her feet felt as if they were glued to the ground.
"Oh, right, release all the animals and people here."
Just as he reached the cave entrance, Er Zhu suddenly seemed to remember something. He glanced back at Feng Ruo Shuang and instructed her.
Feng Ruo Shuang was reluctant to agree, but thinking of Er Zhu's masterful Feng Shui skills, she could only comply.
And so, Er Zhu and Li Mei embarked on their journey to the capital. Feng Ruo Shuang could only stand on the mountaintop and watch.
Wang Er Zhu? What kind of person was he?
His name sounded rustic, yet his skills were exceptional. His Feng Shui and Gu poison arts had reached the pinnacle of perfection!
In this world, could such a formidable man truly exist!
But it was a pity that this man was not hers...
"If you want him, I can help you, but you must join the Qing Cheng Pavilion!"
As Feng Ruo Shuang was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned around and saw a person wearing a silver fox mask and a black cloak standing before her.
"Ye Lang?"
Feng Ruo Shuang examined him for a long time before realizing the man's identity.
Ye Lang, who claimed to be the pavilion master of the Heaven Pavilion of Qing Cheng Pavilion, had once invited her master to join, but he had refused.
Qing Cheng Pavilion had four pavilion masters: Ye Lang, the master of the Heaven Pavilion; Feng Ying, the master of the Earth Pavilion; and Ye Hun, the master of the Branch Pavilion.
The Heaven Pavilion was the strongest assassin force within Qing Cheng Pavilion; Yu Hu Die was a member of the Heaven Pavilion.
The Earth Pavilion was the next strongest, and the Branch Pavilion was the weakest, dealing with petty criminals and thugs.
Ye Lang's sudden appearance was originally to invite Miao Ying to join the organization, but he had witnessed the scene just now!
Wang Er Zhu!
The one who had captured Yu Hu Die had killed Miao Ying!
This debt needed to be settled!
"It is I. If you join Qing Cheng Pavilion, I will let you spend your life with Wang Er Zhu!"
Ye Lang glanced in the direction Er Zhu had left, then nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'll join. But you must keep your word, and I'll only give you one month!"
Hearing this, Feng Ruo Shuang readily agreed.
Wang Er Zhu would only be hers, Feng Ruo Shuang's!
Ye Lang said nothing but handed Feng Ruo Shuang a business card, which contained the location of the Heaven Pavilion and the contact information of the leader.
Just as Feng Ruo Shuang was heading to the Heaven Pavilion, Er Zhu and Li Mei arrived in the capital. Looking at the bustling scene before them, Li Mei couldn't help but sigh, "The capital is different from other places. Er Zhu, you'll have to work even harder in the future!"
Li Mei gently patted Er Zhu's shoulder, but Er Zhu looked at everything with complex emotions...
