Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Early the next morning, the demon-hunting team ambushed near a courtyard. Nanzhi and Baijiu, who were powerless, were sitting in a carriage.

On the way, Zhu Yan and Wen Xiao went to chase the people from Chongwu Camp. After a while, the remaining people were intercepted and killed by the people from Chongwu Camp!

Knowing that going out would only hinder her, Nanzhi hid in the carriage to prevent others from being distracted by her.

Outside the carriage, Bai Jiu discovered the talismans on the bodies of these immortal people from the Chongwu Camp and successfully resolved the crisis.

But Zhuo Yichen was injured.

When Nanzhi came out of the carriage, Bai Jiu was applying medicine to Zhuo Yichen. They were talking about something, and Bai Jiu shed tears. Zhuo Yichen comforted him reluctantly.

Nanzhi ran to Zhuo Yichen and looked at him worriedly. Seeing the scars on his hands from activating the Yunguang Sword's sword energy and his weak state, she became even more worried: "Are you injured?!"

"I've already applied medicine to Xiao Zhuo." Bai Jiu didn't miss the opportunity to assist: "It's just that Xiao Zhuo must be in a lot of pain. Sister Shen, you have to pay more attention to Xiao Zhuo."

Pei Sijing leaned against the pillar: "..."

Zhuo Yichen felt that Bai Jiu had gone too far, and explained in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu, I'm not that afraid of pain."

"Oh, Master Zhuo, who is not so afraid of pain, is injured?" Zhu Yan, who had returned, walked to Zhuo Yichen and said, regardless of Zhuo Yichen's refusal, he passed a trace of demonic power to him to heal the wound on his hand.

Then, he stood beside Nanzhi with a smile and thanked Pei Sijing: "Thank you, Master Pei."

Everyone did not understand.

Zhu Yan explained: "Before leaving, I asked Master Pei to help me protect Nanzhi."

"Little Zhuo Ge also protected him." Bai Jiu stood beside Zhuo Yichen: "He was even injured while protecting him!"

Zhuo Yichen: “…”

Pei Sijing looked at Zhuo Yichen, Wen Xiao could hardly hold back her laughter, and Zhu Yan just laughed without giving any face.

Zhuo Yichen just felt like running away.

The next day.

Suddenly, news came that Wu Yan was killed. Xiang Wang put pressure on the Monster Hunting Division and asked the Monster Hunting Team to catch the water ghost before noon tomorrow, otherwise the entire Monster Hunting Division would be held accountable.

The time that was originally quite ample was shortened to one day.

When heading to Jinghu Lake to capture Ran Yi, Zhuo Yichen privately found Nanzhi, who was listening to Wen Xiao's explanation of the Great Wilderness Monster, and said to her, "We need someone to watch over Miss Qi. The task of watching over her is now given to you."

Wen Xiao also said: "You have a good relationship with Miss Qi. When she wakes up, explain it to her. I believe she will listen to you."

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to help much even if he went, Nanzhi nodded and said, "Leave it to me. You have to be careful when you capture Ran Yi."

……

Close the door of the library.

On the way to meet up with the others, Wen Xiao asked Zhuo Yichen, "Why did you deliberately find an excuse to keep Nanzhi in the Scroll Collection Hall?"

Zhuo Yichen showed Wen Xiao the scales he had taken from Zhao Yuanzhou. "Wu Yan was killed, and King Xiang, believing the slander of the Chongwu Camp, ordered us to capture the water ghost before noon tomorrow. I'm very sure Zhao Yuanzhou is in cahoots with Ran Yi. This time, if we track Zhao Yuanzhou's demonic aura to find Ran Yi, we might come into conflict with Zhao Yuanzhou. Nanzhi is here, so she's vulnerable."

Nanzhi said that Zhao Yuanzhou was her friend, and if he killed Zhao Yuanzhou in front of Nanzhi, Nanzhi would definitely be sad.

Wen Xiao recalled that during the day today, based on the clues provided by Master Qi, their demon-hunting team went to ambush the people in Chongwu Camp.

When she and Zhao Yuanzhou were chasing the people from Chongwu Camp and separated from the others, the locust tree demon named Li Lun, who was possessing the Chongwu Camp, grabbed her and Zhao Yuanzhou and tried to kill Xiao Zhuo, Pei Sijing, and Nanzhi and Bai Jiu who were hiding in the carriage...

————Memory Line————

"Choose one of the two: go back to save Shen Nanzhi and your friends, or protect the Goddess Bai Ze."

A handsome man in black, holding a double-sided drum and exuding an evil aura, lent Wen Xiao the True Eyes that could break illusions, allowing her to see the true appearance of Zhu Yan and Li Lun.

Zhu Yan said to Li Lun: "I choose to take the White Ze Goddess back to protect Nanzhi."

"It seems you've told Shen Nanzhi your true identity." Li Lun stood opposite Zhu Yan, holding the drum horizontally in front of him. "Why? Doesn't she hate you?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Zhu Yan stood in front of Wen Xiao and faced Li Lun directly: "Our relationship is as indestructible as ever."

Seeing through the deep meaning in Li Lun's eyes, Zhu Yan's expression darkened.

Li Lun sneered: "Since you have chosen to take the goddess Bai Ze away, if Shen Nanzhi disappears before you can rush back to save her, don't cry."

Does Li Lun have any plans for Nanzhi?

Realizing this, Zhu Yan said coldly, "Li Lun, you always think that everything should be matched, and you say that humans and monsters are not suitable to be together. But you are a monster, and you hate humans the most. Do you think you and Nanzhi should be a good match?"

Li Lun curled his lips: "It's difficult for a monster to become a human, but it's very easy for a human to become a monster."

"Don't forget, Zhu Yan, you are also a demon."

Li Lun wanted Nanzhi to turn into a demon? Zhu Yan's eyes flashed with scarlet anger, and he was obviously really angry: "As long as I'm here, don't even think about touching her!"

Wen Xiao couldn't stand the verbal battle anymore. She stood up suddenly, gave Li Lun, who was caught off guard, a dose of Huanling Powder, and fled with Zhu Yan, who couldn't beat Li Lun.

————Memory Line————

Seeing that Wen Xiao was a little distracted, Zhuo Yichen asked her, "What's wrong with you?"

Wen Xiao shook his head: "It's okay, let's go."

She was thinking about the conversation between Li Lun and Zhu Yan. It seemed that the dangerous guy Li Lun had ulterior motives towards Nanzhi.

"Xiao Zhuo, you must protect Nanzhi. Be careful of big monsters with ulterior motives, and also be careful of big bad monsters with ulterior motives." Wen Xiao told Zhuo Yichen, "Little Aunt is on your side."

"Yeah." Zhuo Yichen nodded shyly, and suddenly realized: "Who is the other demon with ulterior motives?"

"Li Lun," Wen Xiao said, "When Zhao Yuanzhou and I encountered Li Lun, I could tell from their conversation that Li Lun harbored ill intentions towards Nan Zhi."

"He seems to want to turn Nanzhi into a demon."

Zhuo Yichen tightened his grip on the Cloud Light Sword and said angrily, "You despicable fellow, he won't succeed as long as I'm here!"

……

After Wen Xiao and Zhuo Yichen left.

Nanzhi saw Miss Qi sleeping on the couch and pressed the quilt for her.

After settling Miss Qi down, she turned around and went to the bookshelf to find some books about monsters. She wanted to study hard about monsters, find ways to eliminate the hostility, and help Zhao Yuanzhou solve the hostility in him.

This was also one of the main reasons why she wanted to become a non-staff member of the monster hunting team that day.

Nanzhi was looking for a book, but she didn't notice that Miss Qi on the couch behind her suddenly opened her eyes.

Looking at the quilt covering him and the soft pillow under his head, Li Lun, who was possessed by Miss Qi, sat up and looked at the slender figure who was reaching for a book with her back to him.

Nanzhi was just one finger away from reaching the book and was about to move a stool over when he saw a white hand taking the book down.

She was startled and turned around suddenly, seeing Miss Qi standing behind her.

"How did you..."

Xiao Zhuo must be very strong, and Miss Qi has been raised in seclusion since she was a child, and she has taken Bai Jiu's special Ecstasy Powder, so how could she wake up so quickly?

Nanzhi retreated calmly and leaned against the bookshelf. Her hand touched an extremely thick book and pulled it out.

Handing the book to Nanzhi, Li Lun raised a cold arc at the corner of his lips: "Don't you want to take this book?"

The cold smile on Miss Qi's face looked weird and scary no matter how you looked at it. Nanzhi was almost certain that the Miss Qi at this time was not Miss Qi herself.

She threw the thick book in her hand at Miss Qi's head, trying to knock her out, but Miss Qi grabbed her wrist, and the book in her hand was too heavy for her to hold and fell to the ground.

Nanzhi struggled as his wrists were tightly grasped. When he met Miss Qi's eyes that were emitting golden fluorescence, he suddenly felt a familiar pain in his eyes and closed them unbearably.

When she opened her eyes again, the Miss Qi in front of her was already dressed in black and looked seductive and evil.

One of them stepped forward and pushed Nanzhi against the bookshelf. Li Lun lowered his eyes to look at her carefully, a deep smile on his lips: "You want to hit me with a book?"

Nanzhi shouted angrily, "Get off my friend!"

"Okay." Li Lun's voice was low and contained a hint of pleasure: "Please beg me."

The next moment, the smile on his face froze. He looked down at his feet and saw Nanzhi's foot stepping hard on his foot.

It didn't hurt, but it made him forget what to say next.
