Chapter 25: Which bastard reported my location?

The atmosphere was a bit eerie.

Song Ruoxue’s expression and eyes looked as if she wanted to kill someone. Anyone could tell that she was very unhappy!

Bai Ningning gave two awkward laughs. “If there’s nothing else, Sect Master Song, I’ll be leaving now…”

—”Don’t go.”

A command, devoid of any emotion.

“Is there anything else?” Bai Ningning asked cautiously.

Song Ruoxue gracefully sat down on a nearby sofa. A hint of killing intent seemed to well up in her eyes, and her voice was very soft. “That dragon girl, tell me more.”

Bai Ningning pushed up her glasses. “Uh… actually, I’m not very clear on the details.”

“Tell me everything you know.”

“…Alright, that dragon girl’s name is Tang Yingyue. She is the princess of the dragon-kin and often appears in Flower City. Because of her special status, many people know her… Other than that, I’m not sure. I really only know this much,” Bai Ningning said with a mournful face.

“Then do you know what she and Little Li did? What they said?” Song Ruoxue asked, closing her eyes as she spoke.

“This… I don’t know.” Bai Ningning stood up and said, at a loss. “I just happened to see them after I finished my meal. I don’t know anything! I’ll be leaving now, Sect Master Song!”

With that.

The doctor in the white coat fled in a flash.

—Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of fingertips tapping on the tabletop, the rhythm fast.

Her brows were knitted into a knot. Song Ruoxue’s thoughts began to uncontrollably deviate…

What is the relationship between Junior Sister and this dragon girl?

They even went on a date to eat together…

And that carriage not far away, that coachman covered in ice… that was the Ice Spirit Root. Who used that power?

In order to cultivate the Ice Spirit Root, Song Ruoxue had spent a huge amount of energy and time, failing at least a dozen times before barely succeeding. Such a powerful ability was a rare sight in the entire Flower City…

There are so many suspicious points.

The foundation that had been built up in her heart was shaking. Countless possible answers flooded her mind, all of them ominous and strange.

Song Ruoxue opened her eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

From yesterday’s treatment at the Lucky General Store, to the Ten Thousand Immortals’ reminder… and what she was seeing now, all of it pointed in one direction—could it be that there’s really something wrong with Junior Sister?

Sunset Glow Village… why would Junior Sister go to Sunset Glow Village?

It was as if she could still see Su Li’er’s sweet smile, her beautiful eyes, her gentle and sunny little emotions… and the kiss from that day and the feeling of her heart racing. There were too many, too many beautiful things, and at this moment, they were like a messy bundle of threads, tying up her heart.

Song Ruoxue took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing those chaotic thoughts.

All in all, I’ll follow her and see first.

…

So this is Sunset Glow Village!

A quiet little village, with simple houses and pebble-paved paths leading in all directions… it looks very normal.

Su Li’er briefly observed her surroundings and couldn’t see anything strange at first glance.

In that case, I’ll go in and take a look.

Su Li’er walked into the village path, her eyes scanning the small wooden houses on both sides. The walls were cracked and very old. She walked from the first row to the tenth, and it was still very quiet.

Something is a little off. This village is uninhabited.

Su Li’er randomly found a small wooden house and gently pushed the door open.

—Creaak.

The sound of decaying wood, and the stench of blood in the house.

As rays of light penetrated through, the inside of the house gradually brightened. The house was very small, only about ten square meters, with a bed, a table and chairs… a simple window, and nothing else.

What’s that…?

Su Li’er narrowed her eyes slightly. On the table was a bowl of unfinished porridge, with some mold growing on it.

Afterwards, she investigated several more wooden houses and found a common point: every household had some traces of life left behind.

Which means… the villagers here all left suddenly.

Su Li’er rubbed her small chin and thought quietly.

—”Hey, have you heard? That dragon seems to have come again! I don’t know where she’s hiding!”

—”Is she looking for trouble with the Heavenly Thunder Mansion again? She’s so stubborn. She almost got killed last time, yet she still dares to come!”

Su Li’er quickly hid in the house, blending into the darkness. She looked towards the source of the voices. A group of men in black were pushing a wooden cart, on which were piled sparkling spirit stones. They walked from the village path deep into the village.

Only when the sound of discussion grew farther and farther away did Su Li’er dejectedly walk out of the small wooden house. A layer of light dust covered the top of her head. She shook her head and patted the dust off her body.

Dragon?

Are they talking about Tang Yingyue? She seems to be coming here too…

Mmm, now what… what should I do?

It feels a little dangerous.

Should I develop猥琐发育 and retreat first, or should I go directly to the back of the village to take a look?

I still have twenty days of lifespan. It’s fine to develop猥琐发育, I don’t have to be so desperate… Su Li’er thought calmly.

Suddenly, a shout was heard.

—”Who are you!?”

“Holy crap!” Su Li’er was so scared she jumped up on the spot. She took a closer look and saw a tall man in black standing beside her. He was burly and fierce.

“Where did this little brat come from?” The man in black was disdainful.

“Idiot.” Su Li’er’s face darkened.

“Damn, you little brat dare to curse me?” The man in black was about to draw his saber from his waist, then he shouted, “There’s an intruder!!!”

This shout was like a clap of thunder.

Su Li’er’s hair stood on end. “You’re not playing by the rules!”

The man in black sneered. “Rules? Can you eat them?… Eh? Why is my leg frozen… no!”

—Soon, the man in black in front of her turned into a burly block of ice.

“Where? Where’s the intruder!?”

“Report the location quickly! Where is it?”

Shouts came from all around, and the sound of footsteps approached rapidly.

Su Li’er panicked.

No, no, no.

I have to think of a way… think of a way quickly!

Her brain was spinning frantically… it felt like it was smoking.

I… I have it!

Su Li’er took a deep breath and shouted at the top of her lungs, “That dragon is in the east, go quickly!!!”

I’m sorry, Ms. Dragon. Whether you’ve infiltrated or not, I’ll let you take the blame for me first!

After shouting this sentence, Su Li’er didn’t care about anything else. She quickly fled, running towards the deepest part of the small village. There was no other choice. There were footsteps everywhere, so she could only run deeper…

After running for about five minutes.

Su Li’er was out of breath, leaning on her knees and unable to stand up straight. It was so… so scary.

If I had known there were so many people, I wouldn’t have come!

In the east of the village, it was a chaotic mess, with chickens flying and dogs jumping. Vague curses and muffled sounds could be heard from time to time, as if a world-shaking battle had broken out.

Su Li’er’s eyelids twitched. She was still in shock and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “Could it be… that I was right?”

Forget it, I can’t be bothered with that much!

Taking a deep breath and composing herself, a solemn expression appeared on Su Li’er’s face. Under her feet was an endless country road. In the deepest part, there seemed to be a sparkling small hill… it was a bit unreal, and she couldn’t see clearly what it was.

Since someone is taking the blame for me…

Then I might as well go and take a look.

****

In the east of the village, a fierce and chaotic battle was unfolding. Sword lights crisscrossed, and blood flew everywhere.

An endless rage welled up in Tang Yingyue’s eyes. “Which bastard reported my location!? I’m going to kill her!!!”
