Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 379 Jiang Jiang: You guys make love while I guard the door?

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, it is suitable to travel but not to get married.

On a snow-covered mountain road outside Bianjing, a horse-drawn carriage moved slowly forward. The chestnut horse pulling the carriage looked ordinary, but in fact each step covered several miles and contained complex spatial principles.

The howling mountain wind blew up the carriage curtains, mixed with fine snow foam. Lu Zhan sat in the middle of the carriage, holding the furry Bai Bai in his arms.

The journey to southern Xinjiang is long, and he is worried about Baibai being alone in Beijing, but in order to hide from others, Baibai transforms into his original form and follows as a pet.

"Hululu——"

Bai Bai was lying on Lu Zhan's legs, her body in an odd balance, sleeping soundly with her legs up in the air, with slight snoring sounds coming from her from time to time.

Lu Zhan placed his hands on Bai Bai's belly and glanced to both sides.

In the not-so-spacious carriage, Jiang Ningshuang and Ling Jiaoyue sat on both sides, with Lu Zhan being sandwiched in the middle.

This would have been a good thing, but Lu Zhan knew that the two had been at odds since childhood. The silence in the carriage at this moment was more like the calm before the storm.

Fairy Ling was quiet, she was a quiet person. But Jiang Jiang was so quiet that people couldn't help wondering if she was up to something bad.

Jiang Ningshuang felt a little soft after being touched, her eyes were watery, but she did not deny it, and snorted softly:

Jiang Ningshuang curled her lips and said nothing, but her mood was obviously much better.

Seeing that the two did not confront each other, Lu Zhan gradually relaxed and continued:

"Demon Sealing Ruins!"

Lu Zhan glanced at her. There was obviously a medicine bag hanging around Jiang Jiang's waist. She said she would not give it to Ling Jiaoyue, but in fact she was just being stubborn.

"Don't be so stubborn." Lu Zhan touched Jiang Jiang's waist and said, "There is clearly another one here, the extra one, which is clearly prepared for Yueyue."

Jiang Ningshuang took Lu Zhan's arm, looked at Ling Jiaoyue, and said in a very gentle voice: "Guanqi, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Lu Zhan blinked: "Chaofeng City..."

The Xianmeng Boat goes directly to Southern Xinjiang, with no other stops in between. This means that all the cultivators who take this boat are heading to Southern Xinjiang. Perhaps one can hear some different news from these people.

"Although I have a bad temper, I am not a person who doesn't know the big picture. The journey to Southern Xinjiang is long, and the three of us should work together. I will naturally not target her. But she has been so cold, humph!"

Under normal circumstances, the energy ball, the essence of divine fire and the breath of golden dragon form a three-legged tripod, achieving a kind of strange balance.

Although he could control the wind, it was too "isolated from the world" and he had no chance to come into contact with other practitioners, so he might miss a lot of information.

As she spoke, she handed over a brocade bag and reluctantly stuffed it into Ling Jiaoyue's pocket.

"There is a lot of humidity in Chaofeng City and many poisonous insects. This is the poison-repellent medicine I prepared. We will each have one. However, Fairy Ling is very powerful and will definitely not need it, so I won't give it to her."

"..."

Ling Jiaoyue paused and said, "Since the two pieces of news are the same, it means that Chaofeng City is indeed hiding a secret. Let's go to Chaofeng City first."

Although they are all family members, Jiang Jiang and Yueyue do not get along well. It is difficult to achieve two goals at once, and the possibility of being kicked out is greater.

But once one tries to refine the power of the King of Ten Thousand Demons, the three-legged tripod will become unbalanced, and the Yin-attributed true Qi will collide with the two Yang-attributed ones.

The Demon Sealing Ruins was originally a vast ocean. It was said to be an ancient battlefield where the ancient demon Mirage was sealed, so it was called the Demon Sealing Ruins. After thousands of years, the sea water receded and land appeared, gradually becoming a small city under the jurisdiction of Chaofeng City.

Jiang Ningshuang had been listening quietly without interrupting the conversation. Now that the serious business was over, she took out two brocade bags and said:

Lu Zhan practiced his skills, mobilizing the power of the Ten Thousand Demon Kings in his body, trying to refine it.

Lu Zhan nodded: "Yes, we will take the Fairy Dream Boat."

The true Qi turned into thousands of threads and wrapped around the power ball of the Ten Thousand Demon King. The Ten Thousand Demon King was a demon and his power was of the Yin nature. As Lu Zhan refined it, the Yin true Qi counteracted the Yang fire of the essence of the divine fire, making Lu Zhan's true Qi somewhat unstable.

Ling Jiaoyue looked out the window and said, "As far as I know, there is a ship in Qingzhou called the Fairy Dream Boat, which is driven by cultivators. Its speed is second only to the flying shuttle, and it can reach the Cinder Sea outside the southern border."

The journey was long, and the three of them sitting in the carriage couldn't do much, and they couldn't achieve two successes at once.

Good food and fun-loving.

"Yes, it is the Chaofeng City Sealed Demon Ruins. The imperial court has been secretly investigating for many years, and all the information they have found is related to this place. But every time they are ready to conduct an in-depth investigation, they will disappear inexplicably, which shows that there are secrets in the Sealed Demon Ruins. However, the southern border is far away from the Central Plains, and the imperial court is afraid of alerting the enemy, so it is not convenient to conduct a large-scale investigation."

Whether it is Southern Xinjiang or Central Plains, the names of geographical locations are mostly related to ancient times.

The imperial court could certainly arrange carriages and shuttles, but they wanted to keep a low profile on this trip, and being too ostentatious would attract other people's attention.

Ling Jiaoyue picked up the round fan and waved it: "That's good, maybe there will be new opportunities. But the problem is, after arriving in Southern Xinjiang, where should we start investigating? Do you have any ideas?"

Ling Jiaoyue pondered for a moment and said, "The Immortal Sect also has some news. You can tell us first and see if our news matches."

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "The court has been sending people to investigate secretly. Although they haven't found the sacred stone, they have a general idea."

The ability to absorb the power of the Ten Thousand Demon King was purely due to the bonus of the holy object in the body.

Lu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, put Bai Bai on the seat in front, and began to sit cross-legged and practice.

Lu Zhan thought about it and took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "This trip to Southern Xinjiang is long and arduous. What do you two think?"

After much thought, cultivation is still the most suitable.

Ling Jiaoyue paused slightly as she fanned the ball fan. After she took it, her tone softened a little and she said, "I treat everyone like this. Don't mind it."

But the power of the Ten Thousand Demon King was too much for him to refine all at once, so it formed an energy ball and stored it in his dantian.

Ling Jiaoyue felt that Jiang Ningshuang was being very pretentious, so she was dismissive and asked calmly, "What are your plans?"

Lu Zhan frowned slightly.

"According to my plan, after we leave Bianjing and reach Qingzhou, we will switch from land transportation to water transportation."

Although it did not have much impact on Lu Zhan, his true Qi was always somewhat unstable.

At the beginning, his female boss had reminded him that he must refine the power of the Ten Thousand Demon King step by step, not be greedy, and use dual cultivation to assist when necessary.

"..."

Lu Zhan exhaled slowly, slowly dissolving the Yin attribute power he had refined.

Ling Jiaoyue and Jiang Ningshuang both noticed that something was wrong with Lu Zhan's true energy. They held their breath and watched the scene intently until Lu Zhan's true energy gradually stabilized. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

After Lu Zhan finished his work, Ling Jiaoyue asked with concern, "Is it because of the essence of the divine fire?"

Lu Zhan's mind was a little confused, and he nodded subconsciously after hearing this: "Well... Last time in the Myriad Beasts Abyss, I obtained the power of the Myriad Monster King. The power of the Myriad Monster King has a Yin attribute, which counteracts the essence of the divine fire..."

Ling Jiaoyue knew the dangers of the true qi hedging. She pursed her lips and seemed to have made some kind of decision:

"How about... let's find an inn to rest at night."

Lu Zhan was a little surprised when he heard her implication, but he still refused: "Let's talk about it after we get to Qingzhou. We won't stop on the way."

Ling Jiaoyue's expression remained unchanged, but she gritted her teeth secretly. She had hinted clearly just now, but Lu Zhan refused. If she brought it up again at this time, it would seem like she was asking for trouble, and those who didn't know would think she was unsatisfied.

In fact, this matter is a good thing for both her and Lu Zhan, but for the sake of their image, they really can't say it too directly.

Moreover... judging from Lu Zhan's usual performance, he was at an age of passion and enthusiasm, and it was impossible for him to be pure and free from desires. Since she had already hinted at it, there was no reason for Lu Zhan to refuse.

The only possibility is...

Ling Jiaoyue looked at Jiang Ningshuang with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Jiang Ningshuang was already confused. Seeing Ling Jiaoyue looking at her, she puffed out her chest and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Ling Jiaoyue thought about it for a moment and felt that she had to tell Jiang Ningshuang about this matter. Otherwise, if Jiang Ningshuang kept following her, wouldn't she and Lu Zhan be unable to practice dual cultivation?

Dual cultivation is a small matter, quickly refining the essence is a big matter.

Even if Lu Zhan was not in a hurry, she was anxious to refine the ice essence and improve her strength.

Thinking of this, Ling Jiaoyue quietly transmitted her telepathy to Jiang Ningshuang to prevent Lu Zhan from noticing. She controlled the transmission of telepathy very carefully.

Lu Zhan didn't bother to pay attention to the two people's private conversation. He continued to observe the essence of the divine fire and the power of the Ten Thousand Demon King, thinking about how to break the impasse.

……

Bian Jing, Qingyang Tower.

On the sixth-floor observation deck, the Grand Master in purple attire was looking into the distance. She stood behind the railing, her arms resting on it, her body slightly leaning forward, her hips raised, her slender waist showing her flexibility. She held a telescope in her hand, looking towards the direction of southern Xinjiang.

Those deep and clear phoenix eyes seemed a little absent-minded at this moment.

Aunt Mingyu came in from outside, holding a letter in her hand, and said softly:

"Your Highness, this is a letter from Qingqiu. It says that Qingqiu Shiyu has rushed to southern Xinjiang. I guess Qingqiu may also be looking for the magic stone. You see..."

The chief commander collected his thoughts, put down the telescope in his hand, took the letter and read it, and said:

"Since King Qingqiu wants to look for it, let him go. There is no need to send people to stop him. But send someone to keep an eye on Shiyu. If Shiyu finds out the information, it will be considered as paving the way for us."

Aunt Mingyu nodded slightly: "That's good. Qingqiu is the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Even if he has some selfish motives, he would not dare to do anything that would harm the people. Otherwise, once the monsters of the South China Sea come back, the blood of these divine beasts is a great nutrient for the monsters, and they will never be able to stay out of it..."

The Grand Master rubbed his head and said, "I am not afraid that he will help the tyrant, but I am afraid that he has other ideas. The King of Qingqiu is a fool who thinks he is smart. I hate fools the most..."

Aunt Mingyu smiled: "Fortunately, our Lord Lu is a smart man."

The Grand Master was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Mingyu, you dare to tease me now?"

Aunt Mingyu bowed and said, "I just didn't want to see Your Highness worry, so I dared to say a few words. Please punish me, Grand Master."

The chief minister straightened her body and said:

"Of course I understand your thoughts, but this matter is too big, it would be a lie to say I'm not worried. But now that Lu Zhan has set off, I feel a little relieved. I have a hunch that he won't let me down. However, it's not appropriate for him to reveal his identity on this trip. I'm afraid his disguise skills are not up to par... Call the Thief Saint here."

Aunt Mingyu understood and hurriedly gave instructions.

A quarter of an hour later, the thief saint in a blue Confucian robe followed Aunt Mingyu over, holding a wolf hair brush in his hand. When he saw the chief minister, he asked:

"Ayao, what do you have to say now? I'm busy compiling a new chapter of "Notes on Subduing Demons". If you call me here now, I'll have to work overtime again..."

The Grand Master looked surprised. She had never expected that the Thief Saint loved what he did and was so dedicated to his work as an editor. She asked, "Do you really think of yourself as a Confucian cultivator in Wenxuan Pavilion now?"

The thief felt that this was a bit strange, so after thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you tired of me and want to drive me away? I've already told you that if you want me to leave, you have to pay me."

"..."

The chief minister sat on the armchair, his expression becoming increasingly strange: "Is this all you want now?"

The Thief Saint sat across from him and thought that the Grand Master had never experienced the hardships of life, so he taught him a lesson:
