Even hybrid monsters have their day

Finally, it said, "Next time you go out, take me with you into your mind's eye."

Although it didn't like being holed up in that empty place, it had a contract with her after all, and if something happened to her, it wouldn't be able to handle it.

Geng Miaowan was deeply moved by its words. Although she knew that with its current cultivation level, it might not be able to help much in a real situation, at least it had the intention. She picked it up and kissed its head, saying, "You're so kind. I must find a way to find the Nuwa Stone as soon as possible to help you restore your cultivation."

Although Xiaobai often wriggled and rolled around in her arms, acting cute, Geng Miaowan was, after all, a young woman, and it was the first time she had taken the initiative to kiss it, which made its old face blush slightly. However, because it was a dog, no one could tell.

When Peng Yuxian came out with the documents, he saw a man and a dog showing a deep bond between master and servant. He shrugged, expressing his incomprehension.

Geng Miaowan took the information from him and began to read it carefully. This information was much more detailed than the one he had shown her during the day. It listed Qiu Pi's various deeds, including some well-known ones as well as some little-known ones.

After reading it, she looked up at him and asked, "So, you think he's also involved in these serial murders of single men?"

Peng Yuxian nodded. "Even if there's no direct relationship, there's at least an indirect one."

Just then, there was a noise at the gate. He quickly gathered up the documents and said to her, "Don't tell the old man about this."

If Feng Xiaotian found out, he would definitely stop him. He had just put away the documents when Feng Xiaotian and Xu Ruwen came in.

As soon as Xu Ruwen entered, he complained to Geng Miaowan, "Why did you leave so suddenly?" If they hadn't received Peng Yuxian's call, they probably would have turned the bar upside down searching for him.

Geng Miaowan gave Feng Xiaotian a meaningful look, while Feng Xiaotian gave Peng Yuxian an enigmatic glance. Geng Miaowan then turned to Xu Ruwen and asked, "This is a long story, I'll tell you later. Have you made any discoveries over there?"

He glared at Feng Xiaotian. He shook his head. "The person didn't show up."

"Never mind, let's try again tomorrow."

So the group discussed tomorrow night's events in the living room. This time, Feng Xiaotian didn't specifically avoid Peng Yuxian; it was unclear whether he had forgotten or not.

They were discussing it when music started playing.

After a while, everyone's gaze turned to Xu Ruwen, who looked at them with a puzzled expression.

Geng Miaowan gestured towards him with her lips, "Your phone."

"Huh?" After she reminded him, he realized that his phone had rung.

To be honest, he really couldn't bring himself to care about cell phones. For a demon who had lived for over a thousand years in an ancient world without electricity, a cell phone was such a strange and cumbersome thing!

They bought this phone after arriving in this space to make it easier to stay in touch. It only contains Geng Miaowan's number.

He was also puzzled: who would call him, a newcomer to this outer space?

Xu Ruwen picked up the phone in confusion, only to find that it displayed Geng Miaowan's name.

He waved his phone screen in front of her. "Yours?"

Geng Miaowan then realized with a start that her bag was missing sometime during the night. She remembered that she must have left it at the bar, and her phone was in that clutch.

Xu Ruwen pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

They couldn't hear anything from the phone, only Xu Ruwen continuing, "Who are you? What do you want with Meiling's phone?"

He hadn't forgotten that they were now a couple.

Geng Miaowan couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. Was this guy really so quick to reveal his personal information? He was definitely an animal; his intelligence was questionable. If he were caught, he probably wouldn't even need torture to confess.

Then I heard him say, "I don't care who you are, just call me whatever you say, why should I listen to you!"

"Huh?" Xu Ruwen's expression turned very strange, as if he was momentarily stunned by what the other person had said. He then blurted out, "Bullshit, I'm her man!"

This powerful statement elicited different expressions from the three people in the hall.

Feng Xiaotian looked back and forth between Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen with great interest, Peng Yuxian stared at a certain spot with an inscrutable expression, while Geng Miaowan looked at Xu Ruwen expressionlessly, thinking it was a pity that he didn't become an actor.

However, she noticed the expressions of the other people, and to avoid becoming their focus, she took the phone from Xu Ruwen and went into the yard. She returned shortly after and handed the phone back to Xu Ruwen.

"What did he say?" he asked.

"You asked me to meet you at the bar tomorrow."

"Are you going?" Xiaobai asked in his mind.

Geng Miaowan glanced at Peng Yuxian and nodded.

"Why bother getting involved in this mess?" it said, its tone implying its disapproval of her meddling in Peng Yuxian's affairs. After all, given her current strength, getting too involved might be dangerous.

Geng Miaowan took a sip of water and replied in her mind, "If he is really related to these cases, we will run into him sooner or later even if I don't get involved. Rather than that, we might as well take the initiative before he is on guard and maybe we can get some useful information out of him."

"You have feelings for him?" The cold voice appeared again without warning.

With a "pfft," she spat out the mouthful of water she had just put in her mouth. Feng Xiaotian and Peng Yuxian in the living room looked at her strangely. She chuckled awkwardly and replied in her mind, "Impossible."

She didn't know whether Luan Hao was referring to Peng Yuxian or Qiu Pi, but regardless, she could never have feelings for him.

Back in her room, she took a relaxing hot shower. When she came out, she saw Xu Ruwen already sitting on the bed. Geng Miaowan frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Xu Ruwen stared at her, who looked as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, but his expression was utterly innocent. "We're playing the roles of a couple."

His mention reminded her that when they were assigning rooms, Feng Xiaotian had only arranged one room for them because he knew they were a couple. She silently sat down on the other side and dried her hair.

Geng Miaowan was only wearing a pair of shorts-style pajamas, with large areas of skin exposed. As she passed by Xu Ruwen, a fresh scent of her bath wafted into his nostrils, mixed with a hint of her unique body fragrance.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, lay down on the bed, and leaned his head close behind her, "Geng Miaowan..." (To be continued.)
