Even hybrid monsters have their day

but……

Ershan glanced at Geng Miaowan without making a sound, but he still couldn't believe that Geng Miaowan would be that kind of person.

Although he harbored some doubts about Geng Miaowan's identity, he instinctively distanced himself from the matter. Leaving aside her unknown connections with the demon race, it was impossible for her to have been able to leave Green Mountain last night to attack Tree Peak and the others.

“I think there must be some misunderstanding. Miss Geng was with me all day yesterday,” Miao Renfeng said, defending Geng Miaowan.

"This...how is this possible..."

Geng Miaowan released Shufeng's hand, and Li Shufeng, holding his sword, muttered to himself, "How is this possible... It's clearly her, I saw it very clearly, it's her!"

"What makes you so sure that I'm the one who hurt you?" Although Geng Miaowan was wronged by him for no reason, she wasn't angry. Instead, she wanted to know why Li Shufeng was so sure that she was the one who killed the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect.

"Of course it's based on looks! The person who attacked us looks exactly like you, how could it be wrong!" Li Shufeng raised his voice.

Upon hearing his words, Geng Miaowan suddenly recalled what Xu Ruwen and the others had told her that day: on Mount Buzhou, there was a woman who looked remarkably like her. However, she couldn't just blurt this out; without evidence, how could she convince anyone?

She smiled slightly, and spiritual energy flowed within her body. In the next instant, a Li Shufeng appeared in the main hall, facing the Li Shufeng who had spoken earlier. "Is this what you said?"

Li Shufeng was startled by the sudden appearance of another version of himself.

Geng Miaowan quickly transformed back into her original form and said, "You must understand that demons can transform. How can you be sure that the person you saw wasn't some other demon in disguise?"

Taken aback by her question, Li Shufeng was indeed caught off guard; he hadn't expected this. He recalled Miao Renfeng saying that the person before him had been with him the whole time. Could the demon he'd seen really be a manifestation of another demon?

"Besides appearance, what else can you tell?" Geng Miaowan continued to press, but Li Shufeng simply shook his head.

Li Shufeng paused slightly, lowered his head in thought for a moment, then shook his head. He looked at Geng Miaowan carefully and realized that if he had to say what was different, it was only in his feelings.

At first glance, their almost identical appearances dazzled him, but now that he's calmed down, he realizes that the two women give him very different feelings.

That demon was incomparably alluring and seductive. But the Geng Miaowan before them, despite having the same face, seemed to lack that demonic quality and possess a touch of innocence.

After Li Shufeng left, no one in the main hall spoke again, as if they were all immersed in their own thoughts.

After a long while, remembering her purpose, Geng Miaowan spoke again, "Sect Leader Miao, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Miss Geng, please speak freely."

Inside the main hall, besides Miao Renfeng, there were only Ershan and Liu Qingzhi, so she spoke directly without any reservations, "I wonder if Sect Leader Miao would be willing to lend me the Green Mountain Sect's most precious treasure?"

During yesterday's conversation, she already knew that Zuo Lengdan had retrieved the Green Mountain Sect's most precious treasure from Qiu Pi and returned it to the sect, which is why she asked that question. Given Miao Renfeng's attitude towards her, borrowing that stone wouldn't have been difficult. As for whether the stone was the Nuwa Stone, a test would tell.

But after what Li Shufeng just did, she wondered if he would also begin to suspect her.

Upon hearing this, Miao Renfeng's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected her to ask such a question. However, he quickly regained his composure and asked, "If I may be so bold as to ask, what use does Miss Geng have for that stone?"

Although that stone was a treasure passed down from the founding ancestor, he really didn't know it had any other use besides testing spiritual power levels.

Seeing that he seemed genuinely puzzled, Geng Miaowan thought for a moment and finally decided to tell him the truth.

"I wonder if Sect Leader Miao has ever heard of the Nuwa Stone?"

"Nuwa Stone?" Miao Renfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly pondering the meaning of the term.

“Yes, legend has it that after Nuwa mended the sky, a Nuwa Stone remained. It contains extremely strong spiritual energy, capable of reviving the dead and restoring life to the mortal realm.” She pointed to Huangfu Aohan, who had been lying there motionless since entering the hall, “My contracted beast’s cultivation was damaged because of me, and it needs the Nuwa Stone to heal it…”

"So, Miss Geng means... that the most precious treasure of our Green Mountain Sect is actually the Nuwa Stone?"

"I'm just guessing, so I'd like to ask Sect Leader Miao to lend me the gemstone so I can test it and find out if it's true."

She spoke lightly, but Liu Qingzhi was somewhat displeased. He didn't know Geng Miaowan well, and although he knew that Miao Renfeng and Ershan valued this little girl highly, he didn't understand why they would care so much about a girl who didn't even look as old as him.

He gave a soft snort, "Do you think you can just borrow our Green Mountain Sect's most precious treasure as you please?"

Ershan didn't reprimand Liu Qingzhi, and Miao Renfeng only gave him a displeased look without saying anything to criticize him. Geng Miaowan wasn't angry either; she hadn't expected anyone to lend her anything just by asking.

"To be honest, I was entrusted by Zuo Lengdan to deliver something back to Buzhou Mountain. However, with my current abilities, I can hardly even get close to Buzhou Mountain. Therefore, I hope to restore the strength of my contracted beast as soon as possible. If he helps me, I might be able to make a breakthrough."

Liu Qingzhi clearly didn't believe what she said. "Stop exaggerating. It's just a contracted beast. How much power can it have to help you go to Buzhou Mountain?"

Before he could finish speaking, Huangfu Aohan suddenly leaped up from the ground and strode lazily towards him. His golden-gray eyes were fixed on him, filled with an air of untamed arrogance.

Meeting that gaze, Liu Qingzhi found himself somewhat afraid to meet its eyes. He suppressed the urge to back down, straightened his back, and refused to lose in terms of imposing manner to a little white dog.

Xu Ruwen raised an eyebrow, seemingly mocking Huangfu Aohan for being bullied by dogs when he was down on his luck, but he dared not show it too obviously. (To be continued.)
