"I agreed. Since there was one person missing from the team, I took over for a while."

"You have already..." Bai Wuxiang realized that his tone was a little hasty, and quickly slowed down, "Don't agree to other people's requests casually in the future. You have the right to make your own choice. If you don't want to refuse, it's okay. You are an independent individual."

Lin Ruojin was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to say the three words "It doesn't matter".

But when he met the deep eyes as bright as stars under the mask, he finally realized his problem.

Perhaps because of her unfortunate childhood, she never dared to refuse others, but gradually she reached the point where she could not refuse others.

Her people-pleasing personality made her popular in that world. But in this world, it was completely the opposite. Some people hated her, some liked her, but only two people told her that she could refuse.

One is the Kashiwa Wuxiang in front of him, and the other is...

"Okay...I won't refuse if I don't want to in the future."

"Really? You weren't going to be fooled into agreeing with just a few nice words?"

“Oh!” Lin Ruojin blushed and punched him, stuffing the fan into his hand, “No more!”

"Do not believe."

"If you don't believe me, you can supervise me!"

Bai Wuxiang was silent for a moment. Lin Ruojin realized belatedly that it was a bit blunt to say this to someone who had confessed his love to her not long ago.

After all, times have changed. In ancient times, showing your feet in front of men was considered shameless. This statement is a bit...

Lin Ruojin was just about to add a few more words to the above words, but saw the other party's large white hand with distinct joints raised a heavy golden fan and gently tapped Lin Ruojin's forehead.

"It's hard to do it."

"Sister."

"Ok?"

Bi Ruyue, who was standing by, tilted her head to look at the male disciple next to her who was covered in blood and mucus, and said in a slow voice: "Do you want to take a break first? We will first..."

"No, Senior Sister, I was wondering if I could stop catching monsters and let Bai Wuxiang take my place."

"..."

"Don't be angry, Senior Sister. I..."

"Okay, then go talk to him and be nicer."

So, there was suddenly a strange man in the team.

Bai Wuxiang seemed to be able to handle everything with ease, but he was always cautious with Lin Ruojin as if he was afraid of making the slightest mistake.

The lizard demon escaped, and Bi Ruyue had to make a new plan. However, this time, Bai Wuxiang was unwilling to let Lin Ruojin take any risks.

"Ququ is a lizard demon who only made it to the third place on the list by eating women. There is no need to mobilize so many people, right?" As Bai Wuxiang opened and closed his long fan, his sharp and cold eyes fell on Bi Ruyue's face as calm as water.

Bi Ruyue faced the gloomy gaze and said, "Since it is a training, naturally everyone should participate. Lin Ruojin has already attracted the attention of the other party, and now we must take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. You cannot represent her opinion. You still have to listen to Lin Ruojin's opinion on this matter."

Bai Wuxiang snorted, "She won't..."

"I'd love to be the bait again."

Bai Wuxiang was completely stunned. He tore off the fox mask and looked at her with anger on his face.

"Just now you said you wouldn't easily agree to others."

"The situation is urgent now. If I am still indecisive, the village chief's daughter might die. And don't you want to accompany me and protect me? I believe that everyone and you will protect me like you did just now?"

Lin Ruojin smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling, leaving Bai Wuxiang speechless. He pinched the mask in his hand with some resentment.

At this moment, a bird flew over from a distance and landed on the palm of Bi Ruyue's hand in purple.

in the village.

The village chief collapsed on the ground in grief, and the villagers gathered around the pigpen with pale faces.

Zhenya rolled up his sleeves and opened the door despite everyone's objections, picked up an iron fork and walked in.

The nose and mouth of every pig in the herd were covered in black and red mucus. Several of them were grunting and fighting over a piece of bloody meat. The blood pool formed a circle, and large amounts of blood spots splashed out under the trampling of their hooves.

"Zhenya, what are your pigs eating?"

"So much blood, could it be possible?"

"Village Chief, what should we do? This can't be human flesh!"

Zhenya glanced at the village chief behind the noisy crowd, with some hesitation on his face, then raised the iron fork to disperse the pigs, and the things that were blocked were completely exposed to everyone.

The sounds of vomiting and screaming rang out one after another. Some timid villagers were so scared that their faces turned pale, and their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground like the village chief, unable to move.

Pigs, they do eat humans.

The torn body was devoured, without a single piece of skin from head to toe. The blood-red muscles and white veins were exposed naked in the air, which was quite terrifying.

Because there were no eyelids covering her eyes, her cloudy eyeballs soaked in blood were completely exposed, as if she was staring at the people who discovered the body.

Zhenya looked at the corpse beneath him. Although he had known it for a long time, he still couldn't bear to look at this bloody scene.

Bi Ruyue and Bai Wuxiang, who hurried back under the leadership of Lang Huan, were also shocked by the scene.

Langhuan and Qingyun disciples took the villagers away. After a brief interrogation, Bi Ruyue roughly understood the whole story.

The lizard demon sneaked into the village early in the morning, and killed Xi Po when she went to the toilet in the backyard. After peeling off her skin, he threw the body into the pigsty. He then pretended to be Xi Po and intended to lure Bi Ruyue and the sedan chair into its trap.

However, after hearing what Lang Huan and Zhen Ya said, Bi Ruyue and Bai Wuxiang both said that the matter was not that simple.

"Master Zhenya, were you the first one to discover the body?" Bi Ruyue glanced at the scene in the pigsty and her throat felt sore. After a long while, she asked with a frown.

"Yes."

Bai Wuxiang continued the conversation in a relaxed tone, "Who discovered the second one?"

"It's me." The village chief wiped his sweaty forehead, stepped forward and answered first.

"From what you said just now, that means you found the body not long after the bridal sedan left..." Bai Wuxiang looked at Lin Ruojin and said with a smile:

Since they discovered it early, why didn't they inform the Qingyun disciples who stayed in the village right away? Why didn't they inform Bi Ruyue and others who pretended to be the bride right away? Why did other villagers know about it first? "

Zhenya remained silent, and the village chief hurried to explain.

"It's not that we didn't notify you in advance, it's that when we found out..."

"Village Chief! You made one wrong step and you want everyone to pay the price for it! This excuse is too lame! You may fool others but not us!"

One stone caused a thousand waves.

The village chief was already feeling guilty, and after being exposed, his face turned red with shame. He looked at Bi Ruyue with a trembling face and said, "Sir, I didn't say it because I was afraid of disrupting the plan..."

Zhuya stood aside with his fists clenched tightly, saying nothing. When he heard the sound coming from a distance, he subconsciously looked up.

Seeing the woman in red in the distance looking calm and composed with her clothes intact, he felt relieved and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The next second, his shoulders sank.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Zhenya smiled and looked at the person beside him.

Bai Wuxiang's long fan rested lightly on Zhenya's shoulder; the cold fan ribs slid across his neck without a trace, bringing waves of bone-chilling cold.

"Sir, how can you look at someone else's wife so much?"

"So that's why. But I remember that girl said she was not married~"

"It will be available soon, so..." Bai Wuxiang's gloomy voice reached his ears through the mask, full of threat, "Please stay away from her. Although she is naive, as long as I am here, no living person can covet her."

"In that case, how about a fair competition between you and me?"

Bai Wuxiang sneered again, fair competition?

Who is he? Is this country boy qualified to compete with him?

Although he wanted to immediately mock the man in front of him with contempt for his arrogance, Lin Ruojin suddenly looked over at this moment, forcing the two of them to separate instantly and take a step back.

"How is it?" Zhuya looked at Lin Ruojin who was walking towards them, smiled and lowered his voice and asked: "How can a man without confidence have the courage to guarantee that he can win her heart?"

Ha ha!

This silly boy actually thought that Lin Ruojin would have feelings for him. He was so conceited and ridiculous. Regardless of anything else, just considering the time they had spent together, he had no chance of winning.

Just as he was putting away his fan with full confidence, Lin Ruojin passed by him...

"Ah, you're here too?"

"Well, I heard you guys fought with the lizard demon, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. By the way, what happened in the village?"

The two chatted enthusiastically, as if they had known each other for a long time. Someone who was left out in the cold never expected it to turn out this way.

"How long have you known each other?" Bai Wuxiang asked in a casual tone.

"Less than a day." Lin Ruojin replied with a smile: "He helped me find the earrings."

Less than a day?

In less than a day, you're so close to him? I put so much effort into getting close to you, and you actually...

"Okay." Bai Wuxiang smiled and nodded with gritted teeth.
