Chapter 6: The Unlucky City Lord's Manor

  "Xue Er, where are we going?" Yao Jiao asked after Leng Qing Tian and the others, as well as the beasts, had all left.

  "Of course we'll go plunder first." Cold-as-snow said matter-of-factly, she had specifically left Yu and Ling behind for the purpose of plundering.

  "Hehe, great robbery, I like it." The demoniacally charming one smiled happily and said.

  "Hmm, Yu, go and find out where all the good things in the City Lord's Manor are hidden?" Leng Ruoxue instructed.

  "Yes, master."

  Ling gave Yu an invisibility spell and then Yu flew away.

  A moment later, Yu flew back again.

  "Master, I've found it." Yu exclaimed excitedly, heh heh, the treasures of the City Master's Manor are indeed numerous!

  "Feathers, take us away." Ling Ruoxue instructed.

  "Master, come with me."

  Ling gave Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Nie the art of invisibility, after which the two humans and two beasts walked together towards the direction of the treasure room.

  After arriving at the treasure room, Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jiao naturally didn't show any courtesy, sweeping the treasure room clean. Then, Leng Ruoxue also left a few large characters that read 'Qitian Dasheng came here for a visit', and the two people and two beasts left the treasure room with a swagger.

  After leaving the treasure room, Leng Ruo Xue released Xiao Qiuxiang again.

  "Ball, ball, look for more treasures!" Ling Ruo Xue instructed.

  "Okay, sister." Ball closed his big eyes, sensed a little, and then opened them again.

  "Sister, I feel something good in the northwest direction." Ball reported his results to Leng Ruxue.

  "Northwest direction? I don't know where it is? Let's go and take a look!" said Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Let's go!"

  Yao'er pulled along Leng Ruo Xue, and the two of them walked in the northwest direction that Qiu Qiu had mentioned.

  "Master, I've knocked out another guard." Ling said happily, wagging her little tail along the way.

  "Awesome." Leng Ruo Xue patted Ling's head, praising him. Alas! It seems that his own beast has gone bad.

  Ling, who had been praised by Leng Ruoxue, became even more aggressive, directly knocking people unconscious as soon as he saw them.

  "Sister, it's just here." Ball pointed to a courtyard not far from them and said.

  "Monster, this should be the courtyard of one of the Miss Zhū's. Let's go in and take a look!" Lěng Ruò Xuě suggested, the environment here is quiet and elegant, the courtyard is filled with fresh flowers, it must be the residence of one of the Miss Zhū's.

  "Alright, hopefully it's not Zhu Furan's courtyard." The demon said with some disgust.

  "Haha! It's better for her, I was just thinking of going to find her!" Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile, tonight they came with another purpose, which is Zhu Fu Rong!

  Two men and three beasts walked into the yard, and Ball flew directly towards the flower bed. Before long, it flew back, with a small red flower in its paws.

  "Sister, for you." Ball Ball handed the flower in his paw to Leng Ruo Xue's hand, then obediently lay on her shoulder.

  Leng Ruo Xue gazed at the palm-sized red flower in her hand, its color exceptionally vibrant, as red as fire, and emitting a strong fragrance. However, she didn't recognize this flower.

  Leng Ruo Xue sent this unknown flower into the pendant and handed it over to Qing Jue.

  "Monster, let's go take a look over there." Leng Ruoxue pointed to the room in the courtyard.

  "Hmm." The demon nodded and the two of them rushed into the room with three beasts.

  Not even close to the room, I heard a strange sound coming from inside.

  Two people stuck their ears to the window, inside except for some strange sounds, there were also voices, Cold-as-Snow and Demoniac became somewhat curious, perked up their ears to listen.

  In the room, a young couple was making out, engaging in some kind of primal activity...

  "Get rich, you just told me that Second Sister has taken a liking to a man?" A beautiful young girl asked while gazing at the fully naked man beside her during their break.

  "Uh, Second Miss has taken a liking to that man and even locked him up in the dungeon. However, that man is already married and doesn't like Second Miss at all. Tonight, Second Miss ordered me to go to the dungeon, originally planning to help them escape, but who knew those two wouldn't follow me." The young man said with frustration, and flipped over again, pinning the girl underneath him.

  "Get rich? Look at how anxious you are, let me take a break." The girl said somewhat discontentedly.

  "Third Miss, everyone under you wants you dead." The young man said resentfully.

  "Get rich, you first honestly answer my question." The girl pouted and said coquettishly.

  "Yes, Miss Third asks, I will definitely tell you everything." The man named Fa Cai guaranteed.

  "Will he agree, that man, if you ask him?" asked Zijuan, the third Miss of the Zhu family, with some misgiving.

  "It shouldn't be." The road to wealth is uncertain, but in his heart, he was as clear as a mirror. He knew that the man didn't take Second Miss seriously at all.

  "That's good." Zhu Lianrong heard Fa Cai's words and put her mind at ease. There was no other way, if the second sister got married ahead of time, Father would definitely marry her off to that old man, so she had to ruin the second sister's plan.

  "Third Miss, why don't you like Second Miss getting married? If Second Miss gets married, won't that mean there's no one to compete with you for Blue Guild Leader anymore?" Fa Cai asked in puzzlement. The object of affection for the three Zhu sisters was indeed the Blue Guild Leader of the Mystic Master Guild, a fact that wasn't a secret in Windless City.

  "Second sister is not my opponent, but if she gets married, Father will have to marry me off to that old man from the Sun family. So, I must stop second sister from getting married! Fa Cai, you have to help me!" Zhu Lianrong said coquettishly. Fa Cai was second sister's confidant, but he had been seduced by her, so she knew everything about second sister's affairs.

  "Third Miss, rest assured that I will definitely help you." As soon as Fācái saw the beautiful woman pouting, he immediately threw his own master to the back of his mind.

  "Getting rich, others know you're the best." Zhu Lianrong said happily, and she was also proud of her own beauty plan.

  "Third Miss, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you, so you must reward me handsomely!" said Fatt Choy with a greedy glint in his eye, before continuing his plundering...

  Outside the room.

  "The sisters of the pig family are quite friendly!" Leng Ruoxue exclaimed, gazing up at the full moon hanging high in the sky.

  "Mm." The demon nodded in agreement.

  "Xu'er, let's leave this place!" The demon continued, he didn't want to stay here any longer, the sounds coming from the room were really too unbearable.

  "Alright, let's go somewhere else." Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile, but as soon as her words fell, she heard a sharp and terrified cry coming from afar...

  "Ah! There's a snake!" Then came a loud crash...

  Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jie exchanged a glance.

  "Has it been discovered by someone?" Leng Ruoxue guessed.

  "Found out? I think it's just pretending to be scary." The demon said with a knowing tone, Snowy's beastly companions, although they were all well-behaved in front of Snowy, but in reality, each one was more sinister than the last, and had many ways to tease people.

  "Hmm! Whatever! We're just here to cause trouble anyway." Leng Ruoxue said, with two beads of cold sweat on her forehead.

  "Xu'er, let's go somewhere else!" the demon said.

  "Alright, go find Pig Rong's residence, hehe, I'll let her know that her own sister is plotting against her!" Leng Ruoxue said with a wicked smile, she had already made up her mind to carry out the scheme of sowing discord to the end. Moreover, before leaving, she also sent a little gift to Zhu Lianrong.

  "Xuě ér, you're so adorable when you're being bad!" The demon suddenly pulled Leng Ruoxue into his arms and kissed her fiercely, saying tenderly.

  "I'm doing it for their own good! Sisters must take care of each other!" said Leng Ruo Xue with an expressionless face.

  "Uh-huh, sisters can't become sworn enemies." The demon concubine said in strong agreement.

  The two left Zhu Lianrong's residence and searched from house to house.

  "Xue Er, this is the last yard in this area," the demon reminded.

  "Let's go in and take a look!" said Leng Ruoxue. They had already searched several courtyards, but none of them were Zhu Fu Rong's residence.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao walked into the courtyard and directly came to the outside of the room, leaning against the window to listen to the movements inside.

  "Huh? That man seems to be the steward of the City Lord's Manor!" said Leng Ruoxue, hearing a somewhat familiar voice coming from the room.

  "Housekeeper? The housekeeper's residence in the city lord's mansion is quite good." The demon sneered faintly, this place was obviously a woman's residence, and according to his guess, the resident here was not the city lord's daughter, but rather the city lord's concubine, and probably one who was highly favored.

  "The woman inside seems to be the lord's concubine." Leng Ruoxue said after listening to the conversation inside.

  "It seems that no one in this castle is willing to be lonely! The steward climbed onto the bed of the lord's concubine, while the lord's daughter is seducing her own sister's guard, haha, it's really chaotic." The demoness laughed lightly, with contempt on her face.

  "I'll leave them a little gift too!" Leng Ruoxue said with ill intentions, and along the gap in the door, she sent a thread of her green mysterious power inside.

  "Heh heh, tomorrow when City Lord sees this scene, he will definitely be very grateful to us." The demon said with a hint of excitement.

  "It's about time! I've been wearing this green hat for so long, and now I don't have to wear it anymore." Leng Ruoxue said, then pulled the demon away from the place.

  "Xue'er, let's go find Grandpa and the others!" Yougui suggested, but she didn't know how Grandpa and the others were doing.

  "Good." Cold-as-Snow nodded and the two of them, along with the three beasts, went together to find Cold-Engine Heaven and the others.

  After searching for a while, the two finally found Leng Qingtian and the old man in the courtyard of the main house.

  "Grandfather, what are you doing?" After entering the courtyard of the main house, Leng Ruoxue called out softly. She saw her grandfather and others squatting on the ground, seemingly lost in thought.

  "Ah! Xue Er, it's you guys! We were thinking about something!" Leng Qing Tian said.

  "What are you thinking about here?" Leng Ruo Xue's forehead dripped with cold sweat, and Grandfather and the others had also found a good spot.

  "Yes! I just heard something and thought about it casually." Leng Qingtian said somewhat embarrassingly.

  "What did you hear?" asked Leng Ruo Xue curiously, looking at the serious expressions of Grandfather and others, could it be related to them?

  "Ah Niang, you know the relationship between the City Master's Mansion and the Sun Family, right?" Old Man Zao asked.

  "Hmm, what's going on?" The relationship between the City Lord's Manor and the Sun family doesn't seem to be a secret!

  "Just now we heard the city master say that he wants to find some young and beautiful women to send to the Sun family, and that pig Fuhong recommended you to his father." Old Man Zhao explained.

  "Oh, and then?" asked Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "Then, the city master said that he would go to the prison tomorrow to take a look at you. If you pass, then there will be no need for Piggy Fong to marry over." said Old Man Zhao.

  "Oh, then we'll wait for him in his cell tomorrow." Lan Ruoxue replied calmly.

  "Little girl, why aren't you worried at all? I suspect someone in the Sun family is practicing evil skills. Otherwise, why would they need so many young and beautiful women?" The old man said with some concern.

  "What's the use of worrying, the Sun family is one of the three major families, not someone we can handle now." Leng Ruoxue said calmly. Hum! Thinking of sending her away? Don't even think about it! She's not someone who can be easily manipulated, those who try to control her should be prepared to pay the price.

  "Xue'er, if it's really not possible, let's leave Windless City now!" Leng Qingtian was worried that his granddaughter would get hurt. At this point, they were indeed too weak.

  "Grandfather, we can't run forever. What if there's another city lord like the one in Windless City? Escaping won't solve anything and it's also a sign of weakness. We have to work hard to become stronger so that we won't be controlled by others." Leng Ruoxue analyzed calmly. As newcomers who were unfamiliar with everything, they could only rely on and trust themselves.

  "If Snowy has a point," Lin Liang said in agreement.

  "Grandfather, after resolving the matter with the pig family, Blue Will Long will arrange a place for us to stay. At that time, we can all go into seclusion and cultivate in space for a month. With the acceleration of time, it's equivalent to several years. Who knows, maybe we'll be able to break through." suggested Cold Snow.

  "Alright, let's listen to Xue Er." Leng Qing Tian agreed, in fact, at this point, they were basically all following Xue Er's opinions.

  "Grandfather, what did you gain from this?" Cold Snow asked with some curiosity after resolving the troubles of Cold Tian and others.

  "Ah, Lass, I've collected quite a few materials for refining equipment!" The old man said with a self-satisfied expression.

  "If it weren't for the fact that there's a pig in your family that can refine equipment, would you have been able to afford it?" The old man said with disdain.

  "I don't care who the original owner of those materials is, once I've found them, they're mine!" The old man said with an overbearing tone.

  "Stop arguing, by the way, do you know where Zhu Fu Rong lives?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some helplessness.

  "Come on, girl, follow me." The old man said excitedly, his face full of enthusiasm.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao followed by Lao Tou and others soon arrived at Zhu Fu Rong's residence.

  After arriving at Zhu Furen's residence, Leng Ruxue quietly snuck into her room, knocked her out while she was bathing, and then put her in the pet ring.

  "Xue Er, what do you plan to do with her?" The demon asked with some curiosity.

  "You'll know when the time comes, hehe." Leng Ruoxue smiled slyly, her face full of mysterious meaning.

  "Grandpa, let's go!" After leaving the room, Leng Ruo Xue said to Leng Qing Tian and others waiting in the courtyard, then recalled her own beasts.

  All the beasts had arrived, and Leng Ruo Xue sent them back to their respective owners. Then, she left the City Lord's Manor with You Yao.

  "Xue Er, where are we going?" The demon couldn't help but ask after leaving the city master's mansion. This road wasn't the way back to the prison cell, was it?

  "Go to the city gate! That's where most people are." said Leng Ruoxue matter-of-factly.

  "Oh!"

  After arriving at the city gate, Leng Ruo Xue summoned Yu out.

  "You demon, turn around and don't look." said Cold-as-Snow with an air of authority.

  "Yes ma'am." The demon obediently turned around, heh heh, even with his eyes closed, he could guess what Xue'er wanted to do.

  Leng Ruoxue took out a rope made of animal tendon and tied Zhu Fu Rong into a bundle, then handed it over to Yu.

  "Yue, hang this thing at the city gate." Leng Ruoxue instructed.

  "Yes, master." Yu somewhat disgustedly used his claws to pick up one end of the rope and flew into the air, finding a good spot to hang Zhu Fu Rong.

  At this time, the guards standing at the city gate did not think that the lord's daughter was hanging above their heads, and what's more, she was stark naked...

  After all this was done, Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jiao returned to the prison cell with an air of innocence.

  "Monster, eat this disguise pill!" As soon as they entered the prison cell, Leng Ruo Xue took out two disguise pills and handed one to You Ye, eating one herself. Alas! She didn't want Grandfather to worry!

  "Hmm, Xue'er, let's take a nap! Tomorrow will be fun to watch!" The demon said after eating the Easy Disguise Pill.

  "Let's sleep first, tomorrow we'll wait for the city master's arrival." said Leng Ruoxue with a light smile.

  "Hmm, whoever dares to bully my woman is dead for sure." The demoniac said with hatred, then carried Cold Snow and lay down on the chaise lounge...

  The next morning.

  "Ah! Xue'er, why are you hitting me?" The demon covered his face, his eyes welling up with tears, and said in a wronged tone.

  "Ah! You're a monster?" Leng Ruo Xue was extremely embarrassed, she had just opened her eyes and saw that the person hugging her was a strange fat man, so without thinking, she punched him...

  Uh! When she just woke up, she really forgot that the demon had eaten the Easy Change Pill last night. Because when they went to sleep yesterday, the Easy Change Pill hadn't taken effect yet. And this Easy Change Pill was her new concoction, with many new medicinal ingredients added inside. So, what form would the Easy Change Pill change the demon into? Honestly, she wasn't sure herself. But unexpectedly, the Easy Change Pill had transformed the demon into an ugly fatso - this was something she hadn't anticipated.

  "Xu'er, you can't even recognize me? Waa...I'm so heartbroken!" The demon said with a hint of despair, tears welling up in his eyes.

  "I didn't do it on purpose, your change is just too big!" Leng Ruo Xue said with some embarrassment. How could she have expected that a small pill would not only change the appearance and figure of the demon?

  "Xue Er, even if you've become ugly, others can still smell your scent at once. How can you not recognize me?!" The demon was getting more and more heartbroken, waaah...

  "Huh? What's with smelling her scent, when did the demon become a little puppy? Cold as Snow had black lines all over his forehead, thinking to himself."

  "Sorry, Yao! I wasn't mentally prepared and got scared!" said Leng Ruo Xue with some guilt.

  "Then kiss me and I'll forgive you." The demon took advantage of the opportunity to demand a kiss.

  "That... let's not kiss for now, okay? I feel a bit weird." asked Leng Ruo Xue tentatively.

  "No, no, wu... Xue'er, you despise me, but I don't despise you! Actually, you're also very ugly." The demon said with a sob.

  "Hey, don't cry! A kiss is just a kiss, who's afraid of whom?" Leng Ruoxue said with a somewhat resigned tone, and then pulled the demon's head closer, closed her eyes, steeled herself, and kissed him. Mmm, although his appearance had changed, the feeling hadn't, it was still good, still good...

  I don't know how long it's been since we last kissed, but the little monster is finally temporarily satisfied...

  "Xue Er, you look so ugly." The demon smiled lightly and teased.

  "Really? Let me see." Leng Ruoxue took out a mirror from her sleeve, and through the mirror, she saw her current appearance.

  Mom! Is that her? The demon said it was still somewhat subtle, but now she looks like not even an ugly word can describe.

  All I saw was her in the mirror, with sallow skin, dry hair, and irregular features. Her mouth was crooked, one eye big and the other small, her nose red, and her figure somewhat bloated. In short, she was an ugly woman who couldn't be any uglier.

  "You're quite something, aren't you?" Leng Ruoxue said sincerely to the demon after admiring her own appearance.

  "It doesn't matter, I don't mind, so you can't dislike me either!" The demon's starry eyes were filled with tears, and he said with a slightly coquettish tone. In fact, he was quite satisfied with Xue Er's current appearance. Hehe, this way, no man would dare to have ideas about his Xue Er again.

  "Hmm, I don't dislike you, it's just that earlier I was a bit unaccustomed to it and it hurt, didn't it?" Leng Ruoxue gently stroked the bruise on Yao Jiao's face, her voice tinged with concern.

  "It doesn't hurt, I have thick skin, your little strength can't hurt me, hehe." The demoniac hugged Cold-as-Snow tightly, smiling foolishly.

  "That's good." Leng Ruo Xue said, and then summoned Ling out.

  "Ling, go outside and check out the situation!" Leng Ruoxue ordered.

  "I guarantee the completion of the task!" Ling stared at Leng Ruo Xue with wide eyes, disbelievingly gazing at her for a long time before speaking up, "Wu... where is its incomparably beautiful mistress?"

  "Monster, I'm a bit depressed." Ling disappeared and Leng Ruo Xue slowly spoke up. She hadn't expected that the effects of the Easy Change Pill would be so remarkable, actually changing her and the monster so thoroughly that even her own beast almost couldn't recognize her...

  "Hmm! Xue'er, it's okay, they'll get used to it." The demon comforted.

  "Hmm, for our safety, I'll just have to make do!" Cold Snow nodded and said.

  About half an hour later, Ling returned to the cell from outside.

  "Master, it's very lively outside now." Ling climbed onto Leng Ruoxue's wrist and said happily, heh heh, and also helped spread some rumors...

  "Tell me all about it." said Leng Ruoxue with great interest.

  "Master, that shiny woman is still hanging at the city gate. I heard the city master has tried many methods but can't rescue her from up there. Many citizens have gone to the city gate to watch the commotion. And, hiding in the crowd, I spread the news of what happened at the city master's mansion last night. Hehe, now Windless City is almost in chaos."

  "Well done." Leng Ruo Xue praised, haha, this is exactly the effect she wanted, I'm sure the current city master must be so angry that he's about to vomit blood...

  "Xue Er, the city master's face has completely lost all its light." The demon smiled and said, "Hmph! Daring to have ideas about his woman, this punishment is still considered light!"

  "Monster, you say, will Lord City come looking for us again today?" Leng Ruo asked with some curiosity.

  "It's definitely going to be! His own daughter is beyond hope, he still has to pin his hopes on you!" The demon said with a knowing tone.

  "Hmm, let's get ready to welcome him then. At that time, we'll give him a big gift." A sly smile appeared on Leng Ruoxue's stunning face as she said this.

  "Who are you trying to welcome?" At this time, a sarcastic voice echoed in the prison cell.

  "It's definitely not you, how did you come again?" Leng Ruo Xue looked at Lan Ming who appeared in the prison cell and frowned.

  "You're really heartless! I came all the way here early in the morning to see you, and you treat me like this... Waaah, it's so sad!" Lan Meng said with a mix of singing and speaking.

  "Don't pretend anymore, you're here to watch the excitement, aren't you?" said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "Heh heh, I'm here to take a look and see if there's anything that needs my help. Also, to take in the excitement." Lan Meng said truthfully. This morning, after hearing about the incident at the City Master's residence, he immediately thought of Leng Ruo Xue and Ye Chen, so he rushed over right away.

  "Lan will be long, if you want to see the excitement, it seems you've come to the wrong place. The city master's mansion is where all the excitement is now." Cold Snow reminded.

  "I'd rather not go to the castle lord's manor, I'm more interested in you guys." Lan Meng said with a hint of fear, as if the castle lord's manor was a lair of dragons and tigers.

  "Haha!" Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but laugh wildly, she of course knew what Lan Ming was afraid of. Those few young ladies from the City Master's Manor had taken a liking to him as if he were the most delicious food, it would be strange if he wasn't afraid.

  "Is it funny?" Lan Meng said somewhat angrily.

  "Isn't it funny? You demon, you say it's funny?" asked Leng Ruoxue, turning her head.

  "Blue will grow, no need to be embarrassed, I understand you." The demon's words were full of sympathy. Alas! Being chased by a woman with an inverted stomach was indeed not something worth boasting about.

  "Thank you, but I'd like to know, how did you two end up looking like this?" Lan Meng was extremely curious. If it weren't for his good composure, he would have been scared off by the two people in front of him. Eh! They really looked too peculiar.

  "That face has been seen for a long time, it's a bit annoying, so I want to change to a fresher one." Cold Snow teased.

  "But this is also a bit too sudden, uh! I suggest you'd better not go out at night, otherwise, you will definitely be mistaken for ghosts." Lan Meng said very seriously.

  "All I can say is that some people's mental endurance needs to be strengthened." Leng Ruoxue said calmly.

  “……”

  "Right, what happened at the City Lord's mansion last night was done by you guys, wasn't it?" Although it was a question, Blue Ming's tone was extremely affirmative.

  "If I said no, would you believe me?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "No, except for you, no one in Windless City has the guts to be so bold." Lan Meng said calmly, he still had this much judgment.

  "Who says no one has such a big nerve?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "Huh? Is that so? How come I didn't know?" Lan Meng was stunned, he had been in Windless City for several years and had never heard of anyone daring to disregard the city lord like this. After all, the city lord was like a god to the people of Windless City!

  "It's you!" said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "Me? You overestimate me, if I had the guts, I would have made a move long ago." Lan Meng said with a bitter face.

  "Chairman, stop pretending to be pitiful, your acting skills are too bad." Leng Ruo Xue said disdainfully. According to her guess, Lan Meng didn't take action against the City Master's Mansion not because he didn't dare to, but because he was too proud to bother. After all, with Lan Meng's status, a small City Master's Mansion wasn't even worth mentioning!

  "Alas! Can't you not be so clever? You're right, I'm just too lazy to bother with those ants." Lan Meng's beautiful face was filled with disdain.

  "Fire ants can also bite people, if you can get rid of them early, don't leave them to cause trouble for yourself!" Leng Ruoxue strongly disagreed with his idea. In her opinion, any danger should be strangled in the cradle.

  "That's also true, but you still haven't told me whether it was your doing or not, the matter of the City Lord's manor?" Lan Meng asked persistently.

  "You think it is then it is, if it isn't then it isn't!" Leng Ruoxue said ambiguously, heh heh, wanting to get an accurate answer from her was impossible.

  "Are you speaking in riddles to me?" Lan Meng was speechless, this girl was really too troublesome! Sigh... Fine, he didn't ask anyway, after all, except for them, no one else would dare to do so!

  "Lan will be in charge, when the Lord of the City arrives, you must take care of us!" Cold Snow heard footsteps coming from afar and suddenly said pitifully.

  "Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you guys." Lan Meng said in a very cooperative tone.

  "Lan Hui Zhang, how did you come?" Along with the approaching footsteps, a loud and clear voice sounded in their ears.

  "Hmph! Our union's Xuan Shi was captured by the second miss of your noble house, and as the president, I couldn't not come!" Lan Meng said coldly.

  "What? They are the Xuan Shi." Zhu Binghuan was shocked in his heart, feeling a bit ominous. He was very clear that the people locked up in the prison were exactly the ones his daughter had mentioned, and he had come for these two today.

  "What? Doesn't the lord of the city believe me?" Lan Meng's icy gaze swept over Zhu Binghuan, his voice cold.

  "Ah! Blue will grow, I didn't mean that, I just feel like they don't seem to have the air of a mysterious master, so I'm a bit curious." Zhu Binghuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled.

  "You're just a spirit, yet you think you can sense the aura of a Xuan Shi? Ha! You're really delusional, daydreaming. Blue Ming said disdainfully, as a Xuan Shi, if one can't even hide their own aura and is instead sensed by a spirit, then that Xuan Shi is truly a failure."

  "Ah! Blue will grow, I didn't mean that, what I meant to say is that many masters like to release their aura outside, so..." Zhu Binghuan explained with a trembling heart.

  "Zhu Chengzhu, have you ever seen a truly powerful Xuan Master? Those who can become strong Xuan Masters are all very low-key and often like to show off, they can only be considered as trash." Lan Ming said with great disdain.

  "Lan Hui Chang is right." Zhu Bing Huan nodded in agreement, but in his heart, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, you're a strong one, of course you don't care about those ordinary cultivators. But to them, those cultivators are already considered strong."

  "Are these two the ones who were caught by the young lady for stealing her jewelry?" Zhu Binghuan shifted the topic, turning his gaze to the two people in prison. However, this one look almost scared him to death! What the f**k, where did this ghost come from?! He had lived for several decades and wanted to scare people, but he had never seen anyone with such a unique and ugly appearance before, it was truly shocking!

  Seeing the two people hugging each other in the cell, he deeply doubted his daughter's vision. Nima, even if you don't want to marry into the Sun family, do you have to find someone so ugly? Do you want to scare him to death?

  What's even more infuriating is that Furong actually dared to recommend her, saying that the woman was a stunning beauty who could topple cities and countries, causing him to be infatuated with her for an entire night. As a result, this morning he hastily cleaned up the mess in the mansion and rushed to the prison cell, but not only did he not see the beautiful woman's shadow, instead he saw the ugliest woman under the sky!

  What's even more unbearable is that these two are actually Xian Masters... Alas, heaven is truly unfair, such ugly people can also become Xian Masters!

  "Lord of Pig City, have you ever heard of a thief who is also a Xuan Shi?" asked Leng Ruoxue coldly.

  "Huh? This..." Zhu Binghuan was speechless. As a Xuan Shi on the Great Continent of Haotian, his status was extremely noble and revered, so he had truly never heard of any Xuan Shi who would steal things.

  "Lord of Pig City, the security in your Windless City is really too bad. Not only do things get lost, but people are also being randomly caught." The demon added.

  "Yes, Lord Pig City, you must give us an explanation for this matter." Lan Ming also chimed in.

  "That... I think this is a misunderstanding, and I'm really sorry to both of you." Zhu Binghuan's heart was filled with cold sweat after hearing what Leng Ruoxue and the others had said. Alas! His greatest wish now was that this matter could be downplayed, and he didn't dare provoke the Xuan Shi Guild.

  "You think you can just misunderstand one sentence and it's fine?" Cold Snow said calmly, her eyes flashing with a daunting light.

  "It's like this, we were wronged by the people of your city lord's mansion and suffered serious mental harm. So, you must give us a satisfactory explanation, otherwise, we will stay in this prison cell." The demon concurred.

  “……”

  Zhu Binghuan was speechless, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. Are these two going to rob me? You want to reason with me? I'm the one who's been scared by you! Who am I supposed to reason with?

  "Lan Hui Chang, what do you think about this?" Zhu Bing Huan helplessly shifted his gaze back to Lan Ming.

  "Don't look at me, I can't solve this." Lan Meng said evasively.

  "Hehe, I've wronged the two of you. This matter is our fault. Whatever your requirements are, please feel free to mention them. As long as it's something that this castle lord can do, we will definitely satisfy the two of you." Zhu Binghuan said with a smile, seeing that Lan Meng was unwilling to help, and instead turned to speak to Leng Ruoxue and the other person.

  "The lord of the castle is quite knowledgeable." Cold Snow nodded in praise.

  "Hehe, this is indeed our fault." Zhu Binghuan said with a good temper, although his heart was already furious and wanted to vomit blood.

  "We won't be polite then, this is the compensation list we're asking for, Master Zhuang please take a look." Leng Ruoxue took out a piece of paper that had been prepared long ago from her ring and handed it to Zhuang Biao.

  "As long as the two of you don't mind this matter, Zhu will be willing to compensate." Zhu Binghuan looked at the list, gritted his teeth and said that although there were many things required on the list, with the financial resources of the city master's mansion, it was still not difficult to do. At this time, he didn't know that the treasure room of the city master's mansion had already been emptied by someone.

  "That's good, once Pig City Master sends over the compensation, this matter will be settled." Cold Snow said with a smile.

  "Heh heh, now that we've settled this, can the two of you move out? I'll arrange a place for you to stay." Zhu Binghuan said with a flattering expression.

  "There's no need for a place to stay, the prison cell is quite comfortable." The demon said calmly, he wasn't in a hurry to leave this place.

  "Good grief! How can anyone live here?" Zhu Binghuan said somewhat anxiously.

  "Hogwarts master, we don't dare leave. What if you default on your debt after we're gone? Our losses would be huge then." Leng Ruoxue said bluntly.

  "The master of the city guarantees with his reputation, I will never default on my debt." Zhu Binghuan was depressed and annoyed, why are these two people so difficult to deal with? This is indeed a case of "easy to invite the gods, hard to send them away".

  "Sorry, we don't believe in so-called reputation." The demon's words were quite dismissive.

  "What... what do you want me to do? You'll leave only if I do that?" Zhu Binghuan's lungs were about to burst, but he still had to hold back his temper and ask.

  "You can choose to make a contract! It's such a simple thing!" Leng Ruoxue reminded kindly.

  "Good." Zhu Binghuan didn't think twice and hastily signed the contract. With the arrival of the contract rules, the contract was formally established.

  "Can you two leave now?" Zhu Binghuan asked weakly, he was so exhausted that even if he were to pray to the gods, he would want these two pests to be gone.

  "Let's just make do!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat discontentedly.

  Upon hearing Leng Ruoxue's words, Zhu Binghuan felt like smashing his head against a tofu block to death. His grandfather had already made a contract with them, yet these two plague gods were still not satisfied...

  "Now that things have been settled, I'll take these two away." Having had enough of the commotion in Blue Underworld, he said with a suppressed smile.

  "All right, Blue Will has grown up, you'd better take them away quickly!" Zhu Binghuan said impatiently.

  "Lord Pig City, you'd better get your compensation ready quickly, we don't have much patience." The demon reminded before leaving the prison cell.

  After finishing speaking, the two of them left the cell with Lan Meng together.

  "You guys are really something, I admire you!" Blue Ming couldn't help but tease on the way to their new residence after leaving the prison cell.

  "Lan Hui Chang, you've been watching the excitement for so long, but you still haven't bought a ticket!" reminded Cold Snow with a calm tone.

  "Hmm, Xue Er is right, we can't just watch the excitement for free." The demon said in perfect sync.

  "Are you... are you blinded by money?" Lan Meng said, stunned for a moment before speaking somewhat speechlessly.

  "I've said it before, we're poor!" Leng Ruo Xue said nonchalantly.

  "Then you can't even make money from your friends?" Lan Meng argued.

  "Friend? Who are you talking about?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, pretending to be clueless.

  "Of course it's me! I've already considered you as friends." Lan Meng said very seriously.

  "Oh! That's your problem, we haven't considered you a friend yet!" The demon said with an attitude that didn't give face.

  “……”

  Lan Meng was so angry that he was speechless, these two people are really... He really wants to beat someone up now!

  "Actually, even if we consider you a friend, the money that should be collected will still be collected. However, I can give you a discount." Leng Ruoxue said seriously.

  "You... I give up." Lan Meng was so angry that he didn't speak again until he had brought Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jie to the place he had arranged for them to stay, before speaking again.

  Lan Meng didn't speak, and as cold as snow, Yao Nie naturally wouldn't take the initiative to talk to him either.

  "Is this it? Do you need anything else?" Lan Meng asked.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao sized up the house, overall it's not bad, the yard is big enough, there are many rooms, and the environment is good.

  "We are satisfied." said Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jiao simultaneously, exchanging a glance.

  "That's good, you can stay here for now! If there are any other requirements, feel free to tell me anytime." Lan Meng reminded.

  "En, Blue will be closed for a while. If there's nothing important, please don't disturb us. As for the compensation from the Zhu family, can you help us collect it first? Here's the list." Leng Ruxue handed a paper to Lan Ming and said.

  "Alright, you can rest assured and focus on your closed-door training! I'll take care of everything else." Lan Meng guaranteed.

  After finishing speaking, Lan Meng turned around and bid farewell.

  After Lan Meng left, Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jie casually chose a room as their temporary residence.

  "Xue Er, do you think the Pig family can still afford to pay those compensations?" The demon in the room asked curiously while holding Cold Snow, knowing that all of the valuable things from the Pig family had been taken away by them yesterday.

  "No problem, don't underestimate the energy of this pig! Moreover, doesn't he still have two daughters who are waiting to get married?" Leng Ruo Xue said with disdain, a lot of the money in Pig's family was earned by women for him.

  "Haha, Xue'er, it seems that this morning's events have already gotten him into a state of panic. I'm really looking forward to seeing his expression when he finds out that all the wealth he's accumulated over the years has vanished into thin air." The demoniacally evil one said with a wicked smile.

  "What's difficult about it? Let's just go and take a look!" said Leng Ruoxue with some eagerness.

  "Heh heh, then let's go now!" the demon suggested.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly and summoned Yu from the cuff, then the two of them along with the beast rushed straight to the City Master's mansion...
