After bidding farewell to True Lord Jade Lion, Han Shuang rode the Offensive and Defensive Yang Pearl and flew towards Green Willow Village.
An hour later, the frost flew over the Green Willow Manor's squire Liu's house. The police were busy cleaning up the broken walls and the collapsed rockery. A team of soldiers was washing the bloodstains on the ground outside the courtyard with water. Could it be that Junior Martial Brother Ma came back too late and the demons had already finished attacking the village?
With doubt, Frost put away the Offensive and Defensive Yang Pearl, jumped to the ground, grabbed a soldier, and asked,"General, when did the demons attack the village? Were the casualties serious? Is that Ma Immortal back?"
The soldier was stunned by Han Shuang's beauty, and his face immediately showed an infatuated expression. He did not react to Han Shuang's series of questions at all. Looking at the infatuated soldier, Han Shuang increased the strength of her hand, and the soldier was awakened from his infatuation by a wave of pain. With a red face, he said embarrassedly,"Fairy, what did you ask just now? I didn't hear it clearly just now. Please repeat it again.”
After Frost repeated it, the soldier told her,""However, after the great battle last night, the demons did not come again. There were no casualties in Green Willow Manor. Immortal Ma has returned long ago and is now a guest at Official Liu's house with Lord Lu.”
After hearing the soldier's words, Han Shuang's heart instantly lit up, and she felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Then, he walked towards the house of Official Liu. As soon as he arrived at the vermilion gate of the house, three people came out to welcome him. They were Lord Lu, Minister Liu, and Ma Jin Xing. It turned out that when the three of them were chatting happily in the room, the servant came in and reported that Fairy Han Shuang had returned and was questioning a soldier outside the manor. Therefore, the three of them quickly came out to welcome her.
Lu Zhen took a step forward and bowed deeply to Han Shuang.""Thank you, Fairy, for eliminating the evil for the people. I thank you on behalf of the people of the city.”
Han Shuang hurriedly returned the bow and said," I don't deserve it. It's our duty to subdue demons and devils. Please don't do this, my lord. Otherwise, it'll really kill me."”
Minister Liu Jing stepped forward and bowed to the ground. He said gratefully,""Thank you for your kindness, Fairy. Otherwise, my daughter's reputation would be ruined, and my entire family might have been killed by demons. I'm really grateful here.”
"Official Liu, you're too polite. This is your duty. Please don't do this." Otherwise, it would not be good for Han Shuang to stay in the Liu family.”
Ma Jin Xing stepped forward to help his Senior Sister Han Shuang out of her predicament. He said to Lu Zhen and Official Liu,""Lord Lu, Official Liu, you must be so polite. Otherwise, my Senior Martial Sister and I really won't be able to stay.”
Only then did they stop their words of gratitude. The four of them returned to the hall. The Liu Residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The family and servants were all smiling. It was a world of difference compared to yesterday.
Soon, a banquet was set up. Official Liu said,"This old man has nothing to thank you for. Today, I have prepared some wine. Lord Lu, Fairy Han Shuang, and Immortal Ma, please give me some face.”After a round of rejection, Lord Lu sat at the head of the table, Ma Jin Xing and Han Shuang sat at the second seat, and Official Liu sat at the bottom. " I heard from Immortal Ma that you went to chase after the Three-Eyed Green Wolf's Nascent Soul," Lu Zhen asked Han Shuang." Did you manage to catch it?"”
Han Shuang said," It's a long story. The Three-Eyed Green Wolf's Nascent Soul was about to grab Fu, but a man appeared and saved him. The man had profound magic power and treated him politely. He promised that the Three-Eyed Green Wolf would not harm the human world, so my heart softened and I let go of the Three-Eyed Green Wolf's Nascent Soul.”
"Senior Sister, what did that person look like?" Ma Jin Xing asked. What is it called?"
Han Shuang glanced at Ma Jin Xing, who was filled with curiosity, and said,""This person lives in the 'Jade Lion Temple' two hundred miles away from here. His name is the Jade Lion True Lord. He cultivated to the late Dacheng stage three hundred years ago. What's even more strange is that he's not human. What was even more peculiar was that you couldn't feel the flow of Demonic Qi in his body at all. When he first cultivated his body 2,500 years ago, he happened to meet Guangde Star Lord who descended to the mortal world. Guangde Star Lord had cultivated for more than 500 years without hurting an innocent life, so he taught him the method of immortal cultivation. Therefore, he was pure and devoted to the Dao. He had a long-standing relationship with the Three-Eyed Green Wolf, so he saved its Nascent Soul and punished the Three-Eyed Green Wolf to face the wall for ten years at the Cliff of Reflection to repent for the evil things it had done in the human world.”
"Fairy, since you released that Three-Eyed Green Wolf, he won't come to my house to cause trouble again, right?" Official Liu Jing asked anxiously.”
Han Shuang smiled and said," Official Liu, you are worrying too much. The Three-Eyed Green Wolf's strength has been greatly reduced. It will take at least a hundred years for it to recover its strength. In addition, Senior Jade Lion will discipline him strictly. Moreover, he has already sworn to me that he will no longer do evil. I don't think he will do evil again."”
" That's good," Ma Jin Xing said." We've punished the demon and done True Lord Jade Lion a favor. Very good." Shidi really admired Shijie more and more.”After saying that, he looked at Han Shuang with affection.
Seeing the boundless friendship in Ma Jin Xing's eyes, Han Shuang felt a wave of panic in her heart for no reason. She quickly looked to the side, avoiding Ma Jin Xing's burning gaze and said,""Junior apprentice-brother, you don't have to be like this. If junior apprentice-brother were to encounter this matter, he would definitely be able to deal with it more cleverly than senior apprentice-sister.”
"This humble official would like to offer a toast to Fairy Han Shuang and Immortal Ma," Lu Zhen said."Firstly, it's to congratulate you on your success in subduing the demons. Secondly, I wish you all a smooth journey in the South Sea. Come, cheers!" With that, he drank and went in. Then he said to the two of them,"After the banquet, I'll have someone send two thousand taels of silver to you. Please sign for it."”
"Cultivators have never been fond of worldly possessions. I think it's better to give these two thousand taels of silver to the poor and homeless." Such a frosty person should be extremely grateful."
Unknowingly, the sky turned dark. After the banquet was dismissed, everyone chatted for a while before returning to their own residences. When Han Shuang returned to the guest room, she took out the paper that True Lord Jade Lion had given her on how to identify the demons that cultivated in the secular world and studied it carefully. Soon, Han Shuang completely mastered this method.
Han Shuang had just finished her cultivation when she heard someone knocking on the door. She walked forward and opened the door to see that it was Ma Jin Xing. Ma Jin Xing said coldly," I didn't feel sleepy after I woke up from my meditation. I was planning to take a walk in the courtyard, but I found that the lights in Senior Sister's room were still on. So I took the liberty to disturb you."”Han Shuang turned sideways to let Ma Jinxing enter the house and said,""Junior Martial Brother Ma can't sleep, so I can discuss with Sister Yu about going to the South Sea tomorrow. There are still thousands of miles to the South Sea, and even if I use a magic treasure, it will still take a few days, especially when I have to pass through the Myriad Beasts Sect's Spirit Beast Mountain.”
Ma Jin Xing said confidently," It's fine. If it really doesn't work out, we can just force our way in. I don't believe that the two of us won't be able to get through."”
Glancing at the arrogant Ma Jin Xing, Han Shuang's heart instantly felt the pressure increase. He realized that Ma Jin Xing wasn't as calm as he looked, but was overly arrogant. Working together with such a person would make one's next move very awkward.
Han Shuang shook her head and said," Junior Brother, the purpose of this trip to the South Sea is to deliver a letter, not to eliminate the demon halfway. If we happen to meet at the right time and do not affect the delivery of the letter, then we can eliminate the demon. However, if we deviate from the direction and focus on eliminating the demon, it will be difficult to believe. * The king of the land, the king of the land br/
After listening to Han Shuang's analysis, Ma Jin Xing's face was filled with shame as he said,""Senior sister is right. This little brother's carelessness caused a huge disaster. This little brother will follow senior sister's lead.”
The next morning, after breakfast, Han Shuang and Ma Jin Xing bid farewell to Minister Liu and went out. Just as they left the Liu residence, they bumped into Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen and Ma Jin Xing were about to leave, so they quickly asked the soldiers to bring a plate of meat and said,"Immortal elders, this is two thousand taels of white jade. It is what the two immortal elders deserve.”
Han Shuang said," There's no need for that. Please give your son to the homeless so that they can have a place to settle down. I'll be extremely grateful."”
"Lord Lu, please do as Senior Sister requests. I, Ma Jin Xing, would like to express my gratitude."”
After saying that, the two of them took out their swords and pearls and threw them into the air. Then, they jumped onto their swords and pearls and flew south.
This went on for several days. During these days, Ma Jin Xing tried his best to please Han Shuang, taking care of her and making her happy. Han Shuang's impression of Ma Jin Xing had increased by quite a bit, and Ma Jin Xing was overjoyed when he saw the change in Han Shuang's impression of him.
On this day, they arrived at the outskirts of the Myriad Beasts Sect's Mt. Spirit Beast Mountain territory. The two of them quickly landed on the ground and disguised themselves as a farmer couple. They concealed their cultivation and bought a carriage at the market to head to Mt. Spirit Beast Mountain.
They did not encounter a single demon from the Hundred Beasts Sect along the way. In the evening, the two of them stopped in front of an abandoned Mountain God Temple. They planned to stay at the Mountain God Temple for a night and continue on their journey the next day.
After entering the Mountain God Temple, he found that the place was very clean. It seemed that the hunters often rested here. There were several piles of marks left behind by the wild cooking in the open space of the temple, and some dry wood was piled up in the corner. Ma Jin Xing quickly fetched some dry wood and started a bonfire in the middle of the temple. He took out some dry food from his bag and handed it to Han Shuang,""Senior martial sister, eat some dry rations first. After that, I'll tidy up the carriage so that you can rest inside.”
Han Shuang took the rations and smiled at Ma Jin Xing.""Thank you, Junior Martial Brother Ma. You should eat some too. The dew will be heavy tonight. I'll bring you the felt in the car later.”
Ma Jin Xing was mesmerized when he saw Han Shuang's smile and heard Han Shuang's words of gratitude. His heart felt sweeter than honey. He really hoped that this life of delivering letters would last as long as possible.
Suddenly, a long whistle came from outside, waking Ma Jin Xing from his sweet dream.
He quickly cast a glance at Han Shuang, and the two of them tacitly withdrew their powers and moved around like a village couple. The two of them only felt the temple darken as a scholar in green flew in from outside. This person was very handsome, but his eyebrows and eyes were filled with lust.
There was actually someone in the temple. He walked straight towards the two of them. When he reached the bonfire, he took a look at the two of them and squatted down. Then, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing as if he had entered a deserted place. Han Shuang and Ma Ma Jin looked at each other and then secretly circulated their energy to be on guard.
