Chapter 182: The Cold Taoist Priest's Heart Is Hard to Forge
Nuonuo turned around and looked at the clear and delicate woman in front of her and spoke viciously.
"Human race? You are overestimating your own capabilities."
Wen Ling wears a Star Returning Stone around her waist to block the demonic aura on her body. The Star Returning Stone is the most precious treasure of the demon clan, and there are only two in the entire demon world. It looks no different from an ordinary jade pendant.
Wen Ling hooked her fingers around the tassel of the Star Return Stone and then pulled off the jade pendant.
The suppression from the demon clan's bloodline and level came instantly, and Nuonuo's expression trembled and then he knelt down.
"Go back to Jiuyou Valley. This is not the place for you."
Nuonuo lowered her brows and responded respectfully. Sensing that Wen Ling's suppression was easing, she quickly stood up and rushed towards the Jiuyou Valley.
Oh my god, I finally escaped from the valley to play, and didn’t get caught by those aunts in charge, but was caught red-handed by the valley master.
Your life is over, so run away quickly.
Wen Ling helped Qinian up and looked at his features.
The young Taoist priest is quite capable, but he is too naive and has no sense of vigilance at all.
Take her back to the inn where she was staying.
"001, you said that now that I have slept with him, does that mean I am halfway through the first phase of my mission?"
【Then the host will not be able to complete the other half of the mission. 】
"Of course I know, you tell me."
【…】
"When will Xiaoqi come back?"
【Soon. 】
Wen Ling sneered, "You said the same two words when I asked you five hundred years ago."
001 Read but not replied.
Wen Ling leaned her head and looked at the boy on the bed. Half of the boy's hair was tied up, and there were very thin and barely noticeable braids on both sides. It seemed that he was well-fed.
She reached out and poked his porcelain-white face, then looked up to meet his watery eyes.
"you're awake?"
Wen Ling didn't realize she had been caught at all. She slowly withdrew her hand and explained seriously.
"Your face is so soft and pale, I couldn't help it."
Qi Nian sat up, pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say. In the past eighteen years, no one had ever taught him how to treat such a shameless girl.
He rarely saw any girls in Jiangming Mountain.
"Why don't you speak?"
"do not know what to say."
This is extremely honest.
Wen Ling's eyes widened. "After all, I saved you from that fox demon, and you don't even want to thank me?"
Qi Nian, however, focused on another idea.
"The girl knows how to subdue demons."
Wen Ling's peach blossom eyes curved like petals, and she stretched out her hand to gesture to Qinian.
"Just a little bit."
Wen Ling wiped her nose and began to make up a lie.
"I was an orphan who was picked up and raised by an old man. The old man knew some skills in exorcising demons, so he taught me how to defend myself."
There are many people in the folk who know some magic tricks to exorcise demons, but they are all unconventional and not everyone has the talent to practice magic.
Wen Ling saw Qinian nodded without any doubt.
She blinked her eyes and said, "It's good to be innocent, but being innocent means being easy to deceive."
Qinian pursed his lips. He really wanted to thank them, but when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the noise outside. The two looked at each other and opened the door, only to see that the surrounding area was crowded with people from Yucheng.
When they saw Qinian, they all rushed towards him, wiping their tears.
Qi Nian had grown up in the mountains and had never seen such a scene. His cold eyes revealed a hint of helplessness as he looked at Wen Ling.
Wen Ling stopped the people who were about to break through the threshold.
"Send a representative and tell us what happened."
They all looked at Qi Nian as if he were a savior. It was obvious that they wanted to ask Qi Nian for something.
The leading man spoke, "Please, Taoist, save my daughter."
His tone was anxious and his face was full of sorrow. He was about to kneel down to Qinian. The young man, who was already at a loss, seemed to be anxious when he saw this. He jumped to the side like a rabbit and avoided the bow.
Wen Ling burst out laughing, then quickly held the man's arm.
"Uncle, there's no need to be like this. Just tell me what you think. I believe that the Taoist is kind-hearted and will definitely help if he can."
The man looked at Qinian and spoke only after seeing that he did not refute.
"Well, since the beginning of this year, there have been flower thieves in the city. At first, everyone thought it was some evil person causing trouble, so they reported it to the authorities, but they couldn't catch him for a long time. Later, one of the kidnapped girls escaped and said it was a demon."
Speaking of this, the man's face was full of sadness.
"If it's a human, we still have a way to deal with it, but if it's a monster, we ordinary people really have no way to deal with it."
The lady behind him continued, "Yes, so today when we heard Mr. Zhou say someone was coming, we hurried over."
Wen Ling chuckled. It seemed that the people in this city were really anxious. Qi Nian had only been in this city for a short time, yet he had already found out everything and came to the inn so quickly.
Seeing that it was about catching monsters, Qinian spoke with a serious face.
"Please tell me all the information about that monster."
While Qi Nian was here gathering information, Wen Ling was leaning against the door and yawning. After seeing him send all the people away, he sat down in his seat and frowned in thought.
The serious little Taoist priest is a pleasure to watch.
"Are you wondering where the monster's lair is?"
Seeing him nod, Wen Ling hooked the tassel of the Star Return Stone around her waist and chuckled, "No need to go through so much trouble."
A gentle breeze blew by, and Wen Ling arrived in front of Qinian. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed and she looked directly into the eyes of the little Taoist priest.
"What do you think of my appearance, Taoist?"
Qinian quickly retreated to create distance.
"Miss, this is dangerous. I can't watch you take risks."
"The little Taoist priest is looking down on me because I am delicate."
"Not yet."
His face remained cold and distant, and Wen Ling stroked his face.
"Although I'm a girl, I also have a chivalrous heart. Those girls who were abducted are so pitiful. I also want to do my part for them. I'm suitable, right?"
"After all, little Taoist priest, I was the one who rescued you from that fox demon."
What she said made a lot of sense, and Qinian couldn't refute it, so he could only take out a talisman and hand it to Wen Ling.
"This talisman can save my life at a critical moment. Please be careful."
Wen Ling smiled brightly, "With you, little Taoist priest, I'll be fine."
When he met her eyes full of trust, there was a flicker in his eyes for a moment.
"I will do my best to ensure the girl's safety."
All families with daughters have now moved out of Yucheng, and some of them are worried about their parents at home and deliberately make themselves look ugly.
The monster would kidnap any beautiful girl, regardless of whether she was married or not.
There were only a few girls who dared to wander around the streets at night. Wen Ling stood on the street, listening to her mother-in-law's admonitions.
"Girl, you'd better go home early. That monster likes to kidnap beautiful girls like you."
The mother-in-law was anxious and handed Wen Ling a veil to cover her face. Unfortunately, people with naturally beautiful appearances would look good no matter how they dressed up. Wearing a veil revealed a pair of affectionate eyes, which added a bit of mysterious beauty.
"Mother-in-law, I'm going back now."
He looked up and saw Qinian, who was watching him from upstairs.
