A transparent grey cloud faintly blocked the moonlight.
Shi Xiangke and the others walked into a place with white fog. It was like a bottomless pit. The place was illuminated by a gray-white light. The white fog blocked the wall and the space. If the white fog was floating, it was better to call it steam. Red Lotus withdrew her curiosity because she felt more and more uncomfortable. A force was desperately trying to get her out of Su He's body.
Finally, Red Lotus could not help but ask. Her voice was so weak that even she herself did not notice it. She said,"Where exactly is this place? I feel terrible."
"This is the jade steam." Shi Xiangke said.
After thinking for a moment, Red Lotus immediately jumped up. She did not look uncomfortable at all. She said,"Shi Xiangke, don't tell me you tricked me into this bottle. Take me in. Your Jade Steamer is obviously a monster collector.”Otherwise, why would she feel so uncomfortable?
"If I had accepted you, I wouldn't have come in myself. Didn't they say that there was a way to protect Su He's body? This was it.”Shi Xiangke gritted her teeth and glared at this lotus monster who was making wild guesses. Why would he help a demon?
Hong Lian did not know if she should believe him. If she miscalculated, then she would really lose her life. However, hearing what he said, it seemed to make some sense.
"You'd better come out of Su He's body. That way, you'll feel better.”Shi Xiangke said. Red Lotus felt that she should listen to him. Since they had already reached this stage, she had to see whether there was a way or not.
Then, a faint green light flew out of Su He's body. In an instant, the light landed on the ground and transformed into a beautiful figure of a human woman. She was dressed in a red and white dress. She flashed forward to support Su He, who had no signs of life because of her separation.
Shi Xiangke looked at Hong Lian who had come out of Su He's body in surprise. Then, she looked at the pale Su He who was in Hong Lian's arms. Her eyes were so watery that she wanted to watch the show. Well, their faces looked exactly the same. They were completely carved from the same mold. However, Su He's face belonged to the real human skin, while Red Lotus's face was painted for herself when she cultivated into an adult. However, there was no difference between the two because they were really very similar.
Red Lotus could finally take a good breath. Sure enough, it was Su He's body that was suppressing her.
"This is your face?" Shi Xiangke looked at them from head to toe, trying to see what was different about them.
"Yes, stop looking. It's exactly the same.”Hong Lian glanced at him indifferently.
Shi Xiangke stepped forward and took Su He from Hong Lian's arms. She was like a butterfly whose wings had been broken in the spring breeze. Her body was still soft and warm as she leaned against Shi Xiangke's chest. Her curly eyelashes were tightly closed, and her pale face became rosy because of the white fog. She looked like she had just fallen asleep.
Hong Lian followed Shi Xiangke inside. Finally, they arrived at a bright, clear, and spacious space. It was surrounded by glaciers, emitting white steam. If it wasn't for the warmth of the steam, Hong Lian would have thought that this place was an ice cave. Her face, eyelashes, and hair were all covered with small water droplets that would turn into water after being wiped. In the middle of the room was an ice stone that looked like a bed. Shi Xiangke carefully placed Su He on it and let her lie down. Hong Lian looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do. She only saw him press on Su He's lower abdomen, and immediately, a bead with a golden light flew out of Su He's mouth.
Hong Lian's expression changed. That pearl was her inner core, but why did he take it out?
"What are you doing? If you take out the inner core, Su He's body will rot even more!”Hong Lian said anxiously as she glared at him. She had given her inner core to Su He because she did not want her body to rot. However, the inner core could not do much. It could not transport Su He's organs and could only protect her body from rotting.
" Don't worry. The warm air here is the place to protect her body." Shi Xiangke took Hong Lian's inner core, turned around and looked at Hong Lian's face, which looked exactly like Su He's."What you should be worried about now is your inner core.”Hearing this, Hong Lian's face became even uglier. She stared at the pellet in Shi Xiangke's hand, afraid that he would break it. The inner core was not hard.
"What do you want?" Red Lotus asked.
"As a reward for helping you." Shi Xiangke said provocatively.
"What good is it for a demon exorcist like you to have a demon's inner core?”Red Lotus hated Shi Xiangke's face.
"I have to examine you. I want to know if you're a good demon.”
"Seriously, I already said that I didn't kill anyone or set fire. It must be a good demon!”
"Alright, then you can use money to exchange for it. There has to be a reward!”Shi Xiangke was kind. God knew that he slept on the streets every day. He didn't even have time to change his clothes.
"Uh!"
"Is it really okay to leave her there like this?”Red Lotus still didn't dare to confirm it and asked again, while Shi Xiangke impatiently responded with a few "yes". At this time, they had already come out of the jade steamer and were outside the wall of the Prime Minister's residence. Su He's body was stored in the jade steamer.
"Hurry up and find her heart.”
"I know."
"But aren't you a demon? How can you not know where the heart is?”
"If I knew, I would have saved her long ago. How despicable. Who is so vicious?”Red Lotus said indignantly.
"That's right. Who is so heartless?”Shi Xiangke cooperated. However, Red Lotus looked at him and said,""It's all because of you humans."
" You'd better get rid of the lotus pond in Chang 'an. Why would the lotus flowers bloom in October? Do you want everyone in the city to find out?"”Shi Xiangke lectured.
"If they want to drive, how can I stop them?”
"The lotus pond in the courtyard at the back of the mountain is your nest, right?”he asked.
"You've been there?" Red Lotus asked in surprise.
"What exactly happened in that house? You must know what secrets there are. Then where did the person who disappeared twenty years ago go? If it was a demon, who else could it be other than you?”
"When did I do anything to those people? But did you really not find anything inside?”
" Actually, I don't know either. Sometimes, I would feel a faint demonic aura coming from that house. When I wanted to smell it more carefully, the demonic aura would disappear again. However, I don't know what it was. Then, the people in that house suddenly disappeared. Even I can't figure out how those humans disappeared." Red Lotus was also puzzled.
"Is that so?" Shi Xiangke pretended to ponder.
"Yes!"
"Then let's go and take a look!"
"No!" Red Lotus refused immediately. She said,"If my husband finds out that I'm not in the room at this time, it will definitely arouse suspicion."”
"He's not your husband, so why do you call him husband so lightly?”Shi Xiangke rolled her eyes at her.
"Why do you care?"
When Su He, no, Hong Lian, sneaked back to her room and closed the door, she turned around. Hong Lian was so scared that her entire body leaned against the door and window. She looked at Fu Yang, who was sitting on the coffee table and drinking tea. "Husband, you're not asleep yet?" Hong Lian asked awkwardly.”
"Where did you go?" Fu Yang asked softly as he put down his teacup.”
"Uh, I'm going to look for Xiaofu to get some Xuan paper. It was useful. Husband, are you waiting for me?" Red Lotus asked. Fu Yang seemed to be embarrassed by the question. He turned his head and said,"No, I want to rest first."
