Akabane sneered in his heart, but he didn't say much. He just shook his head and raised his hand to rub the top of his head.

The time between them going back in time was not long. When the two people stepped into the small village again, they happened to meet Mrs. Leopard and a man bidding farewell to each other at the door.

"Excuse me, both of you, but could you please allow me to have a few important words with this immortal friend?"

The man immediately shielded his wife behind him, silently looking at Lu Jinan and the people behind him, until he briefly glanced at Chiyu, and his body froze for a moment.

But he quickly looked away, because he had never seen this person before in his memory.

"You two are fellow travelers."

Lu Jinan nodded slightly. Seeing that he was still worried, he changed his mind and said, "If you are worried, we can go inside and talk."

Seeing that the two men had no ill intentions, Mrs. Leopard took the lead in leading them into the house. Before entering, she patted the back of her husband's hand to tell him not to be so nervous.

"You two guests can have a cup of hot tea."

The two of them took it and thanked him, and Lu Jinan started to get to the point.

"My friend and I are independent cultivators. We heard from the villagers here that strange things were happening frequently, so we thought of coming to take a look."

The couple looked at each other, and Mrs. Leopard laughed first. "Our village is quite harmonious. The villagers are very simple and honest. There's nothing strange about it."

Lu Jinan was puzzled. "But I just saw a transformed dog demon trying to rape a man on the road."

Akabane frowned, tilted his head, and glanced at the man who was making up a story with great interest.

Mrs. Bao frowned when she heard this and whispered, "How could she do this again!"

"Madam, what is this?"

The man refilled the cup in front of Lu Jinan with tea, "Isn't this the reason you two fellow Taoists came to me and my wife for this matter?"

Lu Jinan took a sip of tea and continued, "After we dealt with the dog demon, the man who was bullied ran away cursing and saying he was going to find the demon supervisor to cause trouble."

"Is that dog demon okay?" Mrs. Leopard looked up at Lu Jinan and asked.

"Madam, are you going to plead for mercy on behalf of that dog demon? He actually revealed your identity in order to get us to show mercy."

"Crack!"

In just a moment, the wooden table was split into two halves by the person in front of him. Lu Jinan waved away the wood chips in front of him, looked at the two people who stood up vigilantly in front of him, and pulled his arm towards the person blocking his way.

"fine."

"Don't be nervous, I'm a demon too." Then white animal patterns appeared on the boy's face.

Mrs. Bao looked at Lu Jinan's face when she heard it, "The young generation of the Zhu Nu family."

Lu Jinan nodded, then slowly sat down in front of the half-remaining wooden table.

"Madam, please sit down first, don't disturb the fetus."

After saying this, Lu Jinan's eyes slowly swept over Madam Bao's bulging belly, "I think Madam is about to give birth, so my fellow immortals should stay by Madam's side and don't go far away for the time being."

"Once you're involved with the demon supervisor, it's no easier to get rid of them than those old guys in the sky."

At this time, Akabane also spoke. For some reason, the man always felt a sense of fear towards Akabane, but he suppressed this feeling and looked at his face.

"You didn't tell them about us."

"We're not a bunch of pedantic old men. We wouldn't force a couple to break up. We're just kind of like each other, so we're trying to give you some gentle advice. This place isn't as simple as you think. Cunning and treacherous people are more difficult to deal with than blood-drinking, flesh-eating monsters."

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment. Mrs. Leopard seemed to be hesitating, but the man seemed to have made a decision.

"Thank you both for your kindness. I will discuss this with my wife."

Even as she was leaving, Mrs. Leopard still asked about the dog demon's condition.

Lu Jinan was also angry for her and asked in confusion, "Why does Madam keep caring about you when that dog demon treats you so much?"

"She is young, having been abandoned at a young age without a good parent, and is prone to going astray. I am about to give birth, and I hope to accumulate blessings for my child."

Lu Jinan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said something congratulatory to his wife, "Madam, you have a blessed face. You will surely be blessed with great fortune and have many children and grandchildren in the future."

Hearing this, she also stroked her belly and smiled gently, "I will."

She is always happy now.

After Lu Jinan and Chiyu left, he has been absent-minded.

"Akabane, you said they would leave."

Akabane glanced at the person next to him and sighed softly.

"You've already left locators on them."

"I'm just a little worried."

"Are you afraid?"

Lu Jinan nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, I am afraid."

Chiyu stopped, and Lu Jinan looked at him in confusion because of his stop.

Akabane: "Why should you be afraid?"

He didn't understand why he needed to worry and be afraid. Even if he failed, couldn't he just start over?

Although it might be disadvantageous to me to keep going back to the past, as long as it makes him happy, that's enough.

Lu Jinan stared at him for a moment and asked, "Chiyu, if I let you go through the annihilation of your family again when you were a mortal, knowing that you have the ability to start over, would you be afraid?"

Chiyu fell into deep thought, as if he didn't expect Lu Jinan to ask him about something from such a long time ago.

"How... did you know?"

"I have recovered my memory. What Yun Yi knows, I will know too."

Lu Jinan approached him, and Chiyu did not step back for a moment. He just looked at the person who was getting closer and closer to him. His heartbeat seemed to get faster and faster with his footsteps.

"If you could go back to the time when you were injured because of me, I would still be nervous and scared, because I'm afraid that this time, I will hurt you again."

Akabane covered his eyes, but the trembling tail of his eyelashes betrayed him.

"Just do it again."

"It's different." Lu Jinan placed his hand on his heart, which was beating steadily, as if he could hear his heartbeat through the air.

"If the ending remains the same, this place will be different."

Feeling that the atmosphere around him suddenly became hot, Lu Jinan suddenly felt as if something was wrong. He slowly let go of his hand and was about to leave, but suddenly the hand firmly grasped it back. The broad palm wrapped around his hand, and Lu Jinan felt uncomfortable.

But every time he moved, the hand that was holding him tightened even more.

But he saw that Akabane showed no sign of letting go.

Lu Jinan sighed in his heart and stopped struggling, but he secretly warned himself to remember to stop next time.

Akabane felt that the person he was holding was scorching hot. His head was also dizzy, and he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to hold his hand.

He seemed to feel that this person's words could always make his heart warm again and always make him want to hold him tightly.

This feeling is like filling the missing space in your heart with a piece of sweet cake.

But after a while, Lu Jinan felt the change of the positioning symbol, and the hand that was not holding it immediately began to investigate the situation over there.

After knowing that Lu Jinan really cared about them, Chiyu also spoke up, "There's a dilapidated farm a few hundred meters to the southwest. It was originally the property of the landlord, but because of the feng shui problems, it couldn't be sold and has been left idle."

"How do you know so much?"

Akabane pursed his lips and looked away, "It's not that you have to help them, but they naturally need a safe place to stay."

"Sir, you're actually quite cute sometimes!"

Cute?! Akabane looked at the man in confusion.

But before Akabane could question him, he saw that the man had already run to the front without him knowing when.

Akabane followed them reluctantly, and then erased all traces of their presence.
