Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 19: Disappearance in the Night

"Jingshu?"

Ye Qi woke up from a deep sleep and looked around. He found himself in Jingshu's room, which meant that Jingshu had not returned until now. What was the cry for help he just heard in his dream?

Ye Qi didn't know why, but he felt uneasy. He immediately walked out, gesturing with his hands and asking everyone he met, "Have you seen where this tall girl in white has gone?"

After asking everyone in the inn, the answer they got was that they only saw the girl walk out of the inn, but they didn't know where she went!

"Sir! Are you looking for the girl who came out to eat and drink for free the previous night?"

Seeing that the person who spoke up was the waiter who had accompanied Jingshu upstairs to deliver wine, Ye Qi immediately asked excitedly as if he had found a life-saving straw, "Do you know where she went?"

"She's been down and out ever since she left your room. I was worried something might have happened to her in our shop, so I followed her out to take a look. Unexpectedly, she suddenly turned around, and that horrified expression still has me reeling!"

Seeing that the waiter's frightened expression did not seem to be fake, Ye Qi was also full of doubts. She did not look like what the waiter described in her daily appearance!

"Can you take me to where you last saw her?"

The waiter hesitated and didn't dare to say a word. After all, there might not be any monsters at night. Seeing that the girl was so young and dared to walk into the depths of the forest alone, she was probably not a girl from a normal family. After all, it was common for monsters to transform into human girls to hunt for food.

"Sir, it's late at night when the yin energy is the heaviest. Demons often come out at night to look for food. It's not easy to open a shop and make a little money to support a family. Please don't make things difficult for me!" The waiter said reluctantly, waving his hands.

Seeing that he was indeed scared, Ye Qi thought that he had not lied about Jing Shu, so he had no choice but to ask him to point him in a direction and go look for her alone. Who knows what he might encounter in the middle of the night!

I kept walking in the direction the waiter told me. I didn't know how long I had been walking, but I knew that I was at least several kilometers away from the inn where I was going.

Considering how drunk she was when she walked out the door, with her steps unsteady, she shouldn't have been able to walk such a long distance.

Unless she was intentionally trying to avoid him, or something happened along the way, he still couldn't figure out which detail went wrong after thinking about it over and over again.

"If that cry for help was truly real, it should be near the inn. But why would the waiter point me in this direction? Is there something wrong with this inn?"

Ye Qi recalled what he saw and heard after arriving at this inn. It seemed that no one had left the lobby of this inn from beginning to end.

Even after eating and drinking, everyone should go back to their rooms to sleep, but the people outside seem to not need to sleep.

Recalling the scene in the illusion he had encountered before, Ye Qi suddenly began to worry. He had been away for so long, would Jingshu have encountered any accident?

Thinking of this, Ye Qi's heart was instantly filled with fear, and he ran all the way back to the inn. This time he finally realized the importance of flying with a sword, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it!

When my master taught me, I was so stupid that I didn’t learn anything. After several years of practice, I couldn’t even open up the Qi Sea and Snow Mountain. Later, my master passed away. Now it’s too late to think about it!

Half an incense stick later, when he returned to the inn, the inn that was originally brightly lit had already changed its appearance.

What he saw before him was a dark wooden building. The people sitting inside had all turned into zombie-like monsters, and the food and wine on the table were even more disgusting.

Ye Qi drew out his long sword and rushed inside. Suddenly, a vine tentacle broke out from the ground and stretched towards him. He had no choice but to raise his sword to block it. He was hit by the vine tentacle so suddenly that he retreated dozens of steps before he could steady himself. It was quite a troublesome situation!

"Stop it all!"

Just when Ye Qi was exhausted from fighting against the vine tentacles, a voice was heard. The person who came was Qiao Yue, who had been taken advantage of by Jing Shu and had a meal with him before.

"You're the one behind all this?"

When Ye Qi saw that the man in front of him could actually stop the monster from attacking, he realized that he was the mastermind behind the incident.

"No! No! No! Your sister agreed to my relationship with her, and we're a family now!"

"What did she promise you?"

"You'll know in a minute!"

As Qiao Yue turned around, vine tentacles suddenly emerged from under Ye Qi's feet, tied him up tightly and dragged him underground!

"Ye Qi!"

A weak cry for help was heard. Ye Qi looked closely and saw that it was Jing Shu. However, her ankles were tied by vines and she could not leave that area.

"You liar! Let us go!"

"Compared to that, aren't you the little liar who's cheating on food and drinks? I told you, you have to pay for food. If you don't have money, you can only pay with other things!"

Qiao Yue moved closer to Jingshu's cheek, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, smelling the faint peach blossom scent on her body, feeling very satisfied!

"You monster, I'm going to burn your nest down!"

As she spoke, a cluster of flames emerged from Jingshu's palms, but before she could use her power, her hands were bound by vine tentacles.

"A little wild cat with a fierce temper! I like it!"

As Qiao Yue watched the beauty in front of him resist more and more fiercely, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

In the past, human women would have fainted from fear when they came here, but today, he actually saw a woman who threatened him, and his interest was immediately piqued!

He gently hooked Jingshu's chin with his fingers, and her stubborn face was very touching. Then his fingers slid along her throat to the collar of her gown. With a light hook of his fingers, the thin and transparent gown slipped down in an instant.

Watching this scene, Ye Qi felt grief and anger in his heart, and he wished he could kill him with a sword!

But no matter how hard he struggled, he still couldn't break free from the shackles of the vines. He screamed at the top of his lungs, his eyes were bloodshot, and his wrists were bleeding from being strangled by the vines.

"Scream! Scream! The louder you are, the more excited I am!"

Looking at Ye Qi's helpless and furious look, Qiao Yue laughed even happier, as if he had a sense of accomplishment that came naturally.

Seeing them struggling helplessly like his toys, he felt very satisfied with the sense of control. He turned around and looked at Jingshu behind him, ready to enjoy this delicacy!

"You...let her go...!"

The furious Ye Qi found strength from nowhere and actually used his sword to cut off the vine shackles. He held the sword tightly in his hand and stabbed towards Qiao Yue. Although the attack failed, he successfully forced Qiao Yue away from Jing Shu.

Ye Qi picked up the long gown that fell on the ground and put it on Jingshu. He turned around, glared at Qiao Yue coldly, and slashed with his sword.

"Bullying her, did I agree?"
