Chapter 81 Biyao's Guilty Feelings

"嘤咛!"

Biyao slowly woke up, but was suddenly startled to find herself lying in someone's arms.

Looking up and taking a closer look, Biyao saw Lu Xueqi's aloof face, and everything that had just happened quickly flooded into her mind, causing her to blush.

After calming herself down, seeing that Lu Xueqi did not seem to have woken up, Biyao slowly stood up as well.

Only then did Biyao notice that there was another person sitting beside Lu Xueqi, it was Zhang Xiaofan, and Lu Xueqi was leaning against him.

Besides them, there was another person sitting on Zhang Xiaofan's other side, also leaning against him; it was You Ji, whom Bi Yao was familiar with.

However, the You Ji before her was a sight Bi Yao had never seen before. In the dimly lit cave, her exquisite face seemed to glow, so beautiful and captivating that even Bi Yao was stunned.

After calming herself down, Biyao looked at the three people huddled together and felt a pang of disappointment, as if she were the one who was superfluous.

Biyao gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Zhang Xiaofan in the middle, her gaze a mixture of anger and resentment.

With a soft hum, Biyao's gaze suddenly fell on Zhang Xiaofan's waist, where a strange long flute was tucked.

Biyao had a very deep impression of that mysterious long flute. It was that magical artifact that was able to subdue the ancient ferocious beast, the Black Water Serpent.

Driven by curiosity, Biyao cautiously looked up at Zhang Xiaofan, then glanced at Lu Xueqi and Youji on her left and right.

Biyao didn't know why, even though Youji was very close to her, she was still worried about Youji waking up.

Seeing that the three were still fast asleep, Biyao breathed a sigh of relief and carefully bent down. Since the three were sitting on the ground and leaning against the wall to rest, Biyao could only support Zhang Xiaofan's head with one hand and then bend down to look.

Looking up at Zhang Xiaofan again, Biyao felt relieved and slowly reached for the bamboo flute.

The flute itself was neither gold nor stone, and it felt icy cold, making it difficult for Biyao to discern. However, the deep purple beads strung on the tassel at the bottom of the flute startled Biyao.

At this moment, Biyao gradually came to her senses. In the past, the wicked old ghost could control the Black Water Serpent, and now Zhang Xiaofan could also control the Black Water Serpent with the help of the flute. This secret was naturally related to the mysterious flute.

If nothing unexpected happens, the bead on the tassel should be the legendary Bloodthirsty Bead.

Biyao glanced cautiously at Zhang Xiaofan, and seeing that he was still fast asleep, she became much bolder and began to grope around Zhang Xiaofan's waist again.

The Mountain and River Fan wasn't anything special, but Biyao recognized it. Although it was a rare treasure, she had already seen it before.

In contrast, Biyao was more curious about what Zhang Xiaofan had taken from that iron box. At the time, Zhang Xiaofan had been very secretive, and it seemed that he hadn't even told Lu Xueqi.

Carefully lifting her belt, Biyao took a closer look and saw two bells, gleaming with golden light and as white as jade, hanging quietly there.

"What is this? Could it be a mimosa tree?"

Biyao was startled and almost subconsciously turned to look at Lu Xueqi. Seeing that the other was still asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Biyao couldn't help but feel curious.

Zhang Xiaofan was brought into the Holy Cult by Lu Xueqi. Now that he has found the Hehuan Bell, he is hiding it from Lu Xueqi. This seems rather interesting.

Thinking of this, Biyao couldn't help but smile.

Biyao glanced again at the magical artifact at Zhang Xiaofan's waist, staring at the long, hard flute that was neither gold nor stone, yet resembled both, and then at the two large, round bells adorned with alternating gold and jade. She couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. As for the folding fan, Biyao practically ignored it.

After carefully tidying up Zhang Xiaofan's belt and concealing the marks as much as possible, Biyao couldn't help but mutter something softly.

"This bastard has so many rare treasures, could he have some kind of unusual collecting fetish?"

As she spoke, Biyao looked at the three extraordinary treasures, and then suddenly remembered something. Her face flushed, and she subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xiaofan from left to right.

After spitting lightly, Biyao was about to get up and leave when she looked up and inadvertently met a pair of eyes, which startled her so much that her heart skipped a beat.

Staring blankly at Zhang Xiaofan, who had opened his eyes at some point, Biyao froze, like a thief caught red-handed, and guiltily avoided Zhang Xiaofan's gaze.

"What are you standing there for? Come and help me."

Seeing that Biyao was standing there motionless, Zhang Xiaofan immediately spoke softly.

Biyao was stunned for a moment. Seeing that he did not show any other unusual expression, she got up and went to the side, carefully helping Youji and Lu Xueqi up one after the other, freeing Zhang Xiaofan's arms.

After being used as a pillow by Lu Xueqi and You Ji for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Xiaofan felt a sudden soreness and weakness in his arms, so he had to sit on the ground to recover.

Biyao glanced at Zhang Xiaofan furtively, hesitated for a long time, and then took the initiative to speak.

"Did you see everything?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and glanced at Biyao before looking away and speaking in a low voice.

"Don't be too curious. If you're bored, you can dig a hole and bury this black-hearted old devil. Then we'll leave this place."

"Hmm? Are you leaving?"

Yu Ji said sleepily, she must have been exhausted earlier. Even with her cultivation level, she was still not fully awake after entering the dry place.

Lu Xueqi slowly woke up, looked at Zhang Xiaofan beside her, and then at You Ji's figure on Zhang Xiaofan's other side. A blush gradually rose on her face.

"Now that you're awake, get up and dig a hole to bury this heartless old devil."

Zhang Xiaofan stood up, looked at Lu Xueqi, and spoke softly.

"After all, we were able to find this place and obtain this opportunity, which can be considered as repaying this black-hearted old devil for his kindness. Let him rest in peace."

These words were naturally spoken to Lu Xueqi. Regardless of what this wicked old ghost was like in life, now that he is dead and his life is over, and they have received some opportunities left behind by him, it is time to send him to his final rest.

Seeing that Youji and Lu Xueqi had both woken up, Biyao quickly put aside her other thoughts. After glancing nervously at Zhang Xiaofan, she obediently took a shovel, dug a hole, and buried the black-hearted old ghost's remains on the spot.

As for erecting a monument or burning incense, that's really wishful thinking.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi are proper disciples of the righteous path, so naturally they would never erect a monument or offer incense to the black-hearted old devil.

Biyao and Youji are not from the same lineage as the Black Heart Old Ghost. In addition, considering the previous Black Water Serpent and the ancient corpse poison, the reason why the Black Heart Old Ghost's remains were not destroyed was only out of consideration for the fact that they were both members of the Holy Sect and for Zhang Xiaofan.
