Female lead: No, it's me again??

The air seemed to freeze for a second.

Under the moonlight, a person sat on that three-meter-high wall.

With his right leg hanging down naturally, his left foot resting on the wall, and his left elbow casually resting on his left knee, he exuded a lazy and languid air.

The moon lingered behind him, dressed in red, yet possessing unparalleled ethereal beauty.

The night breeze ruffled his hair, revealing his smiling eyes. "Little girl, coming out to look at the moon so late?"

The man snapped his fingers lightly.

Xuan Li then saw that the fierce-looking man in black robes seemed to sense something, his eyes suddenly turning to utter terror, and then he turned into ashes and disappeared before her eyes.

Feng Siyue, who was running this way, slowly stopped when she saw this scene.

She looked up and saw it was him?

The man who appeared in Fengning Village yesterday.

The girl on the ground twitched her eyelids slightly, then looked up in the direction of the man.

Because the cloak that fell off as she looked up revealed her face, which was pale with fright but still breathtakingly beautiful, and a pink butterfly attached to the right side of her head was fluttering its wings.

A pale light fell, slowly settling between her right neck and the hood of her cloak, turning the stray hairs behind her ear silver.

The scattered, faint silver light seemed to be kissing the girl's fair and tender cheek.

She was like a beautiful cypress in a dreamlike starry sea, breathtakingly beautiful under the starlight.

No, even worse.

The person on the wall froze for a moment, and in that instant, he seemed to feel a throbbing in his heart.

The man couldn't help but chuckle.

I'm thousands of years old, and I never thought I'd be amazed by a girl one day.

Hongyue propped her chin up with her left hand, looked at the still-astonished girl, and said nothing.

Unbeknownst to him, everything in his eyes seemed to be blurred by the silver light, except for that... dazed little girl.

Sensing the commotion in the distance, he smiled and gently reminded her, "Little girl, if you don't leave soon, lots of people will come looking for you!"

Xuan Li snapped back to reality and exclaimed, "What? Again?"

She scrambled to her feet, covered her face with her cloak again, and, supporting Feng Siyue who was approaching, ran towards a side path.

"We won't thank you for saving our lives next time, we're leaving now!"

"goodbye!"

After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

The man chuckled softly, "Hmph, a cunning and heartless little girl."

Hongyue sat on the wall, admiring the moon.

But he found that the once beautiful moon had become dull and uninteresting, and the image of the girl seemingly being kissed by starlight lingered in his mind, unforgettable.

Even the most beautiful Lingmeng Star Sea in my memory has begun to dim and lose its luster.

"Tsk tsk tsk, really..."

He sighed helplessly, wondering if he had become less scary lately.

The little girl was not afraid of him at all.

A dozen or so figures finally arrived a moment later. Looking at the signs of a fight and the blood on the ground, the black-clad man leading the group on the right questioned the red moon on the wall, "Did you kill Little Fifteen?"

Hongyue lowered her eyes, the tenderness in them gradually cooling, and said with a half-smile, "Everyone, whatever you're doing today, please stop here. Those who are pursuing, please stop now."

The leader sneered, "You still have the nerve to brag after killing Little Fifteen! Brothers, charge!"

Seven or eight cultivators slashed at the red moon from mid-air.

They really aren't afraid of death.

Hongyue raised her eyes slightly, a flash of blood-red light appearing in her black pupils, and the latter instantly turned into dust and disappeared completely.

The remaining people looked horrified, one glance!

Just one glance!!

To instantly kill a Spirit Emperor or Spirit Sect Master—what kind of heaven-reaching power is this?

They didn't even sense any spiritual energy fluctuations!

An invisible aura spread through the air, suppressing them to the point of having no thought of resistance.

The man in red looked at the remaining group of people. "What, is there something else you need?"

The middle-aged man leading the group hurriedly shook his head, "No, no! We won't disturb you while you're enjoying the moon, senior. We'll leave right away, right away!"

After saying that, he scrambled away with his men.

Hongyue didn't chase after him; he simply looked up at the moon in the sky and chuckled softly.

"Indeed, it's time to go see the moon."

The man scanned the Snow Crystal Imperial City with his divine sense and discovered that a young girl was leading an injured person and was about to run out of the imperial city.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "Wow, you can really run!"

The largest restaurant in Snow Crystal Imperial City, Qian Si Restaurant.

roof.

A few lights were lit on the rooftop, which was usually closed, and two people were sitting in the tea room inside.

A stunningly beautiful woman in black sat on the ground, methodically brewing tea, her every movement flowing smoothly like water.

Opposite her stood a young man, wearing a long robe with a white and light gold base, embellished with a magnificent pattern of golden dragons circling the sun outlined in gold thread, and a white light gauze draped over it with a gold gradient, the cuffs of which were tight, giving him a clean and neat appearance.

His long black hair was tied high with a white Qilin crown, revealing his full forehead and handsome eyebrows and eyes. His face was gentle, yet he inexplicably gave people a sense of distance.

It makes people hesitate to approach.

The white jade pendant hanging from his waist was engraved with the character "Qi" on one side and the moon and sun intertwined on the other.

He turned the pages of the book in his hand. "Red Moon hasn't returned yet?"

The woman in black presented the brewed tea to the young man with both hands and replied respectfully, "He said he met an acquaintance and will be back later."

"acquaintance?"

The young man took the tea from the woman in black with one hand, took a sip, and

"It's so rare."

........

Feng Siyue and Xuan Li didn't have anything to pack at Qiuyi Restaurant, but after what happened, they definitely couldn't stay in Xuejing Imperial City.

So the two discussed it and rode the Swiftwind Bird out of the city overnight.

The Gale Bird emerged from the monster ring and lazily stretched its wings.

It is about two meters tall, with a pair of wings that can be four or five meters long when spread out. Its brown feathers shimmer, and it is clear that the shopkeeper has taken good care of it.

It has a slender beak and a touch of red above its forehead.

The swiftbird slowly lowered its body.

"Feng Siyue, are you sure it's okay to travel like this?"

With concern, Xuan Li helped Feng Siyue, whose body was swaying precariously, onto the back of the Gale Bird.

Feng Siyue was pale, and the pain from her broken sternum made her somewhat dazed. "It's alright. Let's go to the Royal Forest not far ahead. It'll be a good opportunity for me to practice my ability to identify herbs."

Learning alchemy cannot be done by simply looking at diagrams of spiritual plants; one must also gain true knowledge through practice.
