Xu Yeyu sipped tea quietly, Xia Xiaomo gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and Xiao Hong was thinking about something.

Xu Yeyu put down the teacup and looked at Xiao Hong again: "How's your decision? Are you going with us, or do you want this sister to knock you out and take you away?"

Xiao Hong smiled bitterly, knowing that escape was impossible.

"I'll go with you. I'm afraid of the pain." She gave up resisting. "Can I take my brother with me?"

If her brother leaves her, he might be in danger of being captured because her brother is just a rabbit that has not yet transformed into a human.

They have not done anything to harm ordinary people, so if they follow the monks, they will only have to serve a few years in prison and then be released.

Xia Xiaomo loosened her grip on the sword, thinking it would be best to resolve the situation without physical force.

"Okay, you can take him with you." Xu Yeyu agreed to her request.

Xiao Hong stood up gently, bowed slightly to express her gratitude to the two of them, then turned and left.

Xia Xiaomo hesitated a little, with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Just let her go like this? Will she run away?"

"She really has a brother." Xu Yeyu saw Xia Xiaomo's worry, "It doesn't matter even if she runs away."

Xu Yeyu paused and poured another cup of tea.

"Don't we still have you? It's impossible for a little demon in the Qi Refining Realm to escape from your hands, right?" He looked at Xia Xiaomo with a smile.

Xia Xiaomo rolled her eyes at him again, indicating that she still wanted me to take action.

"I see you've drunk several cups of tea. Is this tea really that delicious?" Xia Xiaomo picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"How is it?" Xu Yeyu asked with a smile.

Xia Xiaomo frowned, but then her eyes brightened: "You know what, it's really delicious."

......

......

As Xiao Hong stepped into the room, a little rabbit quickly ran to her feet and she felt a soft touch.

The rabbit's fur was as white as snow, its eyes were bright and gentle, and its soft appearance made Xiao Hong couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Hong gently stretched out her hand and touched the rabbit's soft fur. The rabbit closed its eyes and its little body trembled slightly.

"Brother, we are leaving here." Xiao Hong said softly.

squeak.

Where are you going?

"We were discovered by the monks to have violated the rules and entered the city. Now that we are following them, we will probably have to spend some time in jail."

squeak.

[Should I run away? ]

"We can't run away. There are four monks outside." She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother. You accompanied me into the city three years ago, and now you have to go to jail with me."

squeak.

[It doesn't matter, you are my sister after all. ]

Xiao Hong picked up the little rabbit, feeling warm in her heart, and turned to leave the room.

The proprietress of Yunxialou sat quietly in the room, holding a book in her hand.

Her robe was embroidered with delicate patterns and gleaming gold threads, highlighting her noble and dignified temperament, and her face revealed the calmness of years.

Suddenly, a soft knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

The proprietress paused for a moment, raised her head and looked towards the door. She walked to the door, opened it gently, and saw Xiao Hong standing outside.

"Xiao Hong, what's the matter?" The proprietress touched Xiao Hong's head, "Would you like to have some cookies?"

Because Xiao Hong was short in stature, she was the least popular among the courtesans.

The landlady often asked Xiao Hong to come to her room in the evening to drink tea and eat biscuits. Today she happened to have bought some new biscuits.

"Madam, I'm leaving now. I'm here to say goodbye to you."

The proprietress was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xiao Hong to leave so suddenly. The girls in her brothel could leave if they wanted to. There was no such thing as a indenture.

"Can you tell me why?"

Xiao Hong said nervously, "Two cultivators saw that I had a destiny with immortality and wanted to take me back to the sect."

A gleam of understanding flashed in the proprietress's eyes.

This was a lie. With the boss lady's experience, she could naturally tell that Xiao Hong was lying.

The proprietress continued to touch Xiao Hong's head, gently stroking her soft hair.

Xiao Hong bit her lips tightly, her face revealing a hint of nervousness. She knew in her heart that she would be very embarrassed if the boss's wife exposed her lie now.

A year ago, she accidentally heard Xiao Hong calling the little rabbit in her arms "brother".

At that time, she had some guesses that Xiao Hong might not be human.

She silently observed the little girl with black shiny hair, whose face was always filled with an innocent smile.

A very ordinary girl.

But she noticed that Xiao Hong seemed to have never grown taller. Even after three years, her height and figure remained the same as when she first entered Yunxia Tower.

But she didn't ask about it, nor did she mention it to anyone else.

"Xiaohong, you're not very good at lying." The proprietress said softly.

Xiao Hong lowered her head shyly, her face slightly flushed, she knew her lie had been discovered.

"You are not human, are you?" asked the proprietress.

Xiao Hong widened her eyes. She thought she had hidden it well.

It would have been fine if the monk had discovered that she was not human, but she didn't expect that the proprietress of Yunxia Tower had also known that she was not human.

"Yes... yes, I am a demon." Xiao Hong hesitantly said.

Now that she had been discovered, she had no intention of hiding any longer, since the proprietress had already seen through her true identity.

She didn't know where she was exposed or when she was suspected.

"Are those two monks here to arrest you?"

"Yeah, because I violated the rules and entered the city."

The proprietress recalled that there seemed to be a rule that monsters without monster passes could not enter the city at will.

The proprietress asked worriedly, "What will they do with you?"

"You should be jailed for a while, and you won't be allowed to enter human towns again."

The proprietress then breathed a sigh of relief, the tension on her face slowly faded away, and the worry in her heart also dissipated like a dark cloud.

Just going to jail and being banned from entering human towns is a relatively good outcome.

She originally thought that Xiao Hong would be executed after leaving, just like the vixen that had just been beheaded by the Qingcheng Sect disciples.

"Take some cookies for the journey."

The proprietress said as she took out a bag of biscuits from the room. Her eyes fell on the rabbit in Xiao Hong's arms, "Help Xiao Hong get it."

"Thank you, Madam Boss, for always being so nice to me."

The little rabbit stretched out its little paw to take the biscuit, and the proprietress couldn't help but smile: "Is this rabbit your brother?"

Xiao Hong stroked the little rabbit's ears and said softly, "Yes, he is my only relative in the world."

She smiled gently and said to the proprietress, "It was just saying thank you to you. Thank you for giving us the cookies."

The proprietress gently hugged Xiao Hong, patted her shoulders, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Be careful on the road. When you have the chance, write me a letter and tell me that you are safe."

The proprietress held Xiao Hong for a long time before letting her go and gently wiped away the tears from her face.

Xiao Hong bowed deeply, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Then let's go."

Xiao Hong took small steps while holding the little rabbit, and the little white rabbit's little feet rested on her palms.

The stars twinkled faintly in the dark night, and the moonlight illuminated their backs as they disappeared from the proprietress's sight.

The wind blew gently, ruffling the leaves and grass, and the chirping of insects in the woods rose and fell, filling the quiet night.
