Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

The tip of the knife lifted the chin of the last man in black.

"Who sent you?"

Ji Nuan's eyes were as cold as frost.

The man in black tried hard to remain calm, but the trembling of his face betrayed his inner fear. His eyes were fixed on the knife in Ji Nuan's hand, fearing that if the hand holding the knife was not steady, he would be beheaded like his companion.

He opened his mouth, but seemed to be intimidated by the aura of Ji Nuan, the living devil, and was unable to speak for a while.

"Speak!" Ji Nuan shouted, and applied a little force with the tip of the knife, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on the neck of the man in black.

"I... I said..." The man in black was not a dead soldier after all. Looking at the corpses of his companions on the ground, the desire to survive finally abandoned his loyalty.

He finally spoke, his voice trembling so much that it was almost inaudible, "It was... Ruan Niang's people who asked us to come..."

"Ruan Niang's people? They're trying to take advantage of us because we just left the city, right?"

Ji Nuan sneered, "What is the relationship between Ruan Niang and the Liu family?"

"I... I don't know..." The man in black trembled, "I only heard that the Sect Master owed Ruan Niang a favor in his early years, and that holding the token would allow the Sect Master to help her once."

"Who is the sect leader?"

"Qi...Qijianmen, Qiu Qifeng." The man in black answered in a trembling voice, afraid of angering the evil spirit in front of him.

"Which force in the martial arts world does Ruan Niang belong to?" Ji Nuan continued to ask.

"do not know……"

Ji Nuan shook the tip of his knife, and the man in black immediately collapsed to the ground, completely losing his ability to fight.

She turned around and put away the Tang sword. The other two had already witnessed her taking the sword out of thin air, so they were already used to seeing the sword suddenly disappear before their eyes.

Ji Nuan waved, "Get in the car and continue on your journey."

Song Bai and Xue Bi wiped off the blood stains on the sword, then sheathed it in a casual manner.

Behind them, out of sight, dozens of vines quietly sprouted, silently dragging the black-clad figure and the head beneath them. A moment later, the ground was covered in bloodstains, leaving no trace of the bloody events that had taken place there.

This extremely strange scene was all seen by Song Jinbai.

After Song Bai and Xue Bi got on the carriage, they were shocked to find that the corpses lying on the ground had all disappeared.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.

Xue Bi quickly reported: "Miss, those bodies are gone!"

Ji Nuan, who had just settled into the carriage, seemed unconcerned and replied nonchalantly, "Why are you making such a fuss? I just threw a handful of corpse powder. Isn't it normal for the body to disappear?"

The two people outside the carriage looked at each other silently again.

Song Bai: ...hiss! Madam is so scary, whoever provokes her will be killed and his body will be left without a trace.

Sprite: There's something this good in the world? I'll definitely ask the lady for some next time I get a chance.

Inside the carriage, Ji Nuan tilted her head back and let Song Jinbai wipe the blood off her face.

"There's blood on my skirt too. I'll have to change it later." Ji Nuan lifted the hem of her skirt, pointed at the bloodstain that had accidentally stained it, and stared into Song Jinbai's eyes and asked, "Would you be scared if you saw me chopping off someone's head?"

Song Jinbai put down his handkerchief and pecked her on the face, not giving her any chance to think.

"Those are the ones who came to kill us. Either you or I will chop them down. Don't you want to loosen up your muscles? That's why I'm giving you this opportunity."

"Just now...how did you do it?"

In the end, Song Jinbai couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

There were obviously other ways to deal with the corpses, but Ji Nuan chose the easiest one.

Since Ji Nuan dared to use it in front of him, it meant that she had no intention of hiding it from him.

Thinking of this, Song Jinbai felt a secret joy in his heart.

Seeing how curious he was, Ji Nuan curled up the corner of her mouth into a playful smile.

"Don't blink, just watch!"

As she spoke, she made a playful gesture before Song Jinbai's eyes. The next second, a seed appeared out of thin air in her palm. As if given life, the seed quickly sprouted and grew at a visible rate, eventually blossoming into a full-blown rose.

Even though Song Jinbai had once witnessed the shocking scene of Ji Nuan strangling a giant python with vines, he was still so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.

Ji Nuan looked at Song Jinbai's stunned expression and couldn't help laughing out loud.

She extended her hand forward, presenting the blooming rose to him, "I'm giving you this flower as a small reward!"

Song Jinbai stretched out his hand, but hesitated and retracted it.

Please, he really couldn't do it, roses have thorns.

"...How do I get it?" he asked awkwardly.

"Hehe, blame me for being careless."

Ji Nuan stuck out her tongue playfully, then threw the rose tree back into the space.

With a slight shake of her hand, a gorgeous rose appeared in her palm. She used scissors to trim the thorns on the rose branch, then handed it to Song Jinbai with a smile.

"My husband is so handsome!"

Ji Nuan looked at him with a smile, which made Song Jinbai feel the long-lost feeling of being teased by her.

"My wife is beautiful too!" Song Jinbai coughed lightly and changed the subject. "How does Nuan'er control the flowers, plants and vines? Is it really a magical technique?"

"It's a supernatural power. It's the energy of nature's plants." Ji Nuan explained, "Well... just think of it as a spell. It's an ability that awakened at the end of our world."

"Does everyone have this ability?"

"Not really," Ji Nuan shook her head. "Most of them are just ordinary people. There are many kinds of energy in nature. Some people awaken fire powers, some awaken wind powers, some awaken lightning powers, water powers, earth powers... and mine belongs to the wood power."

She stretched out her hand, and a hint of green appeared on her palm again. A slender vine was wrapped around her fingertips, as if explaining the mysterious and close connection between her and nature.

"It's so magical. I really want to visit your world."

"Don't worry. It may have been a paradise in the past, but it was destroyed beyond recognition by those greedy and ambitious people. Now it's overrun with zombies, and everywhere is filled with danger and uncertainty."

"Nuan'er, will you go back?" Song Jinbai grabbed Ji Nuan's hand.

She came into this world inexplicably, and he didn't know when she would leave this world inexplicably again.

He went out and came back several times, and he felt that her breath had disappeared.

He was worried that one day she would really disappear from his side and never appear again.

This unknown fear hung over his heart like a haze, making him anxious and unable to calm down.

Ji Nuan leaned into his arms and put her arms around his waist.

"I won't go back. I'm already dead in that world."

Song Jinbai didn't expect this to happen. He hugged Ji Nuan tightly back and rubbed her head with his chin.

"Nuan'er, don't be afraid. I'm here. This is your home. I will always be with you." He whispered softly, his tone full of tenderness and determination.
