The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

As the lights came on, Ru Yue changed her appearance early. She tied her long black hair into a high ponytail and wore a moon-white, narrow-sleeved robe embroidered with cloud brocade patterns. She was already charming and lovely, and now dressed as a man, she looked younger than her original age, and her face was even more androgynous. Chu Ning'an looked at her for a while, and suddenly he had an urge to hide her, not wanting anyone to see her beauty anymore.

"Does it look good?" Ru Yue asked without reacting when she saw him staring at her eagerly.

"It looks very good." Chu Ning'an praised bluntly, with the light in his eyes becoming even more intense.

Ru Yue carefully looked at him for a long time. He was wearing a dark-colored robe with narrow sleeves and dark patterns tonight, which made his tall figure look even more upright. He usually dressed like a scholar, elegant and refined, but today's clothes gave him a sense of chivalry, making him look heroic and sharp.

She walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and kissed the corner of his mouth without warning, praising him sincerely, "You look good too."

Her action startled him, but he quickly recovered as usual, gently picked her up, and placed a soft kiss on her petal-like lips, "Ruyue and I are both good-looking, so we are a perfect match!"

When did this man finally get it? How come he's even better at flirting than her? Her mind was full of wild thoughts, but her face couldn't help but blush.

She quickly jumped out of his arms, tidied up his and her own clothes, and said, "Let's go quickly. If we don't go now, the night will be over." After that, she didn't look at him again, but took his hand and walked out the door.

The two of them wandered around the street for a while, until the first quarter of midnight, when they stopped in a busy alley. "Are you sure this is the place?"

He didn't answer, just nodded, held her hand tightly, and walked into the alley.

This is a red-light district in the city. The bustle has just begun. From time to time, some people seeking pleasure pass by with frivolous and lascivious smiles. Chu Ning'an protects Ru Yue by his side without leaving any trace, not letting these disgusting people touch her at all.

Ru Yue understood his thoughts and walked forward very carefully, leaning against him. "Are you sure you're in here?"

"Yeah." He pulled her to stop in front of a brothel called "Yihong Yicui". The red door of the brothel was open, and two big red lanterns were hung on the door. If you look closely, there is a mark with no specific pattern on the inconspicuous place at the base of the lantern. At first glance, it looks like auspicious clouds, but she knows it is not. The pattern gives her a feeling of swords and shadows.

Before she even stepped into the building, she could hear the sounds of singing and the scent of perfume and powder. Ru Yue sneezed unconsciously. "Oh, these two young gentlemen are so handsome. This is our first time to 'Yi Hong Yi Cui'. We have girls of all shapes and sizes, good at writing poems and composing music, and all are talented and beautiful. Mommy will find two good companions for you, okay?"

Chu Ning'an protected Ru Yue behind him, forbidding anyone here to tamper with her. However, she had been filled with curiosity about these ancient brothels and mansions since her previous life, and now, standing inside them, how could she resist the urge to explore? She poked her head out to look around, her curiosity far greater than Granny Liu's when she entered the Grand View Garden!

Chu Ning'an knew this place was a hive of activity, a place where all sorts of people gathered. The thought of Ru Yue seeing or hearing something unpleasant here filled him with worry. He instantly abandoned the idea of continuing to chat with the madam and spoke bluntly, "Red blossoms bloom in the darkness, green sways in the shadows."

His voice was not loud, but it flowed out slowly and steadily, like the gurgling of a stream. The old procuress was stunned at first, obviously not expecting the young man in front of her to be able to recite such a poem.

However, she was, after all, a woman of many years of experience, and she quickly recovered her senses, putting on a smile again on her face, and replied in a sweet voice: "Oh, young man, you look down on the girls that mother introduced to you? But it doesn't matter. As long as you two have enough money in your pockets, the girls in our Yihong Yicui Tower will definitely help you choose one that suits your taste!"

Chu Ning'an's expression remained calm, a sense of indifference permeating his face. He nodded slightly, "Money is not a problem."

It must be said that he was born with a good appearance, with an extremely elegant and beautiful appearance, as if he had walked out of a painting. No matter who saw him like this, they would probably be involuntarily amazed and unable to look away.

"Okay, then you two young gentlemen, come with me." The old madam twisted her waist, which was as plump as a bucket, and waved a handkerchief embroidered with gorgeous flowers in her hand, greeting Chu Ning'an and the others with a smile on her face.

Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue exchanged a glance, then followed the madam to the back. They passed through the bustling, noisy back hall, thick with the scent of cosmetics, and continued along the winding corridors. Along the way, they saw nothing but carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent with gold and jade, a place so luxurious that one couldn't help but marvel at its opulence.

However, the road seemed to be extremely long, and after many twists and turns, the two finally arrived in front of a small, independent building. Compared with the other buildings around it, this small building seemed particularly quiet and elegant, as if it was isolated from the world.

The madam stopped, took a deep breath, and then shouted into the building, "Miss Shadow, a guest is here!" The voice was sharp and loud, echoing in the air. However, after waiting for a moment, there was no response.

The madam didn't care about it. She just turned around and left quickly without even looking at Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue, let alone leaving them any instructions.

The two watched helplessly as she turned and left, leaving them all alone. They were at a loss for what to do, staring at each other with bewildered expressions. At that moment, the door to the mysterious building suddenly opened a crack without warning, and a voice so cold it was difficult to tell the gender of the person uttered, "Since you're already at the door, come in."

This sudden change made Chu Ning'an's heart jump, and an indescribable feeling of unease instantly surged through him. However, at this moment, the situation did not allow him to retreat in the slightest. He took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress his inner uneasiness, reached out and held Ru Yue tightly by his side, and walked step by step towards the open door of the small building.

Entering the small building, the two found it completely empty. Yet, the mysterious voice seemed to emanate simultaneously from the walls, the ceiling, and even the floor beneath their feet, making it impossible to determine its source. "Where did you two learn about the Shadow Sect?" the voice echoed again, its tone still cold and emotionless.

Chu Ning'an forced himself to calm down and quickly adjusted his state of mind before responding, "An old friend told me this." After a brief pause, he continued, "I heard that the Shadow Sect only cares about missions and never inquires about the identities and backgrounds of visitors. I wonder if this is true?"

Hearing Chu Ning'an's fluent response, the mysterious figure hidden in the shadows chuckled, "Oh~~~ Haha, not bad, it seems you did make some inquiries beforehand. Then, why not tell me directly, what brings you here?" Although the other party never showed up, Chu Ning'an remained calm and polite, continuing, "Excuse me, sir, if you could show yourself? I'm afraid being so secretive is not the way to treat guests."

At the same time, Ru Yue, who had been standing silently behind Chu Ning'an, was not idle. Her bright eyes kept looking around, trying to find any clues about the owner of the mysterious voice.

"Hahahaha~~~Hahaha~~~" A burst of creepy laughter resounded throughout the small building, as if it was about to tear the world apart. At this moment, there was a loud "bang", and the door of the small building seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force and closed tightly without any warning.

However, the strange laughter did not stop because of this. Instead, it became more and more frantic and continued to come from all corners of the surrounding area. Like countless cold poisonous snakes, it drilled straight into people's ears and into their hearts, making people's hair stand on end and their scalp tingle.

Suddenly, everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and a red figure flashed by like a ghost. She was clad in a vibrant crimson gown, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending from the heavens. Her figure was lithe and graceful, spinning elegantly in the air several times before landing on the ground as light as a feather. Once she had landed, she gracefully tossed her wide robe sleeves and sat cross-legged on the uppermost Arhat bed.

Ru Yue's eyes widened, fixed on the mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared. Her long, lustrous black hair cascaded down her back, emitting a captivating sheen as it fluttered gently. Her curved eyebrows resembled the rolling hills of a distant landscape, captivatingly beautiful. Her eyes, clear as water, seemed to hold an endless tenderness and affection in their shimmering light. Her fair, snow-white cheeks resembled freshly formed mutton-fat jade, delicate and smooth without a single flaw. Although her voluminous robe concealed her exquisite figure, it only added to its hazy beauty, inviting endless reverie about her true form. She must have possessed a graceful figure, with curves that flowed gracefully.

Just when Ru Yue was lost in thought, the man suddenly opened his red lips and said coldly, "Have you seen enough? The young boss of 'Ming Yue Dian'." This simple sentence instantly revealed Ru Yue's identity.

Ru Yue had actually already considered the Shadow Gate. So when she unhesitatingly revealed her true identity, she didn't feel much surprise. Instead, she smiled and walked lightly from behind Chu Ning'an.

Ru Yue was a graceful figure, her natural beauty undeniable even in men's clothing. She approached, bowed slightly to the Shadow, and said in a sweet voice, "Sister Shadow is truly remarkable! Not only was she able to see through my disguise as a man, but she was also able to instantly identify me. It seems likely that Sister Shadow possesses omniscience, and will surely grant us what we seek."

Ru Yue's words and actions were graceful and unrestrained, without any sense of pretense. Her frankness actually made the shadow slightly startled. Then, the shadow let out a silvery laugh. "Haha, what an interesting little girl! I like her very much! Tell me why you're here?"
