The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

“My dear disciple, don’t you think I look cool dressed like this? When it gets dark, I’ll draw a few bloodstains on my face and hands, and then flick my hair forward like this. Hehe, I think a lot of people will be scared by me…” Xiaoyaozi chuckled, his hands and body trembling like a ghost as he spoke, and with his faded old robe, he looked exactly like a male version of Sadako.

At first glance, it really is quite frightening.

However, Fang Qingyou was even more speechless. Xiaoyaozi wanted to dress up as a ghost to scare people, so he used this image where his face was almost invisible. Is there any difference between a sixty-year-old's face and a thirty-year-old's face?

However, Fang Qingyou quickly thought of another problem: "Master, today is the Ghost Festival, you shouldn't appear in this form."

Then, Xiaoyaozi smiled mischievously: "My dear disciple, I dressed up like this because I thought it was the Ghost Festival today. Let me tell you, let's not rush back today. After it gets dark, I'm going to wander around the streets a few times..."

Fang Qingyou's lips twitched violently; her master was about to scare her to death.

Sometimes she really doubted whether she should call Xiaoyaozi a doctor. Doctors are supposed to save lives with a compassionate heart, but her master seemed to want to scare people to death!

I wonder which unlucky person will run into Xiaoyaozi when they go out for a stroll tonight.

Also, I wonder if Xiaoyaozi will be mistaken for a ghost and arrested by the city guards?

Even if Xiaoyaozi's actions are not the worst, they could still be considered a crime of creating public panic. To put it more seriously, they could be considered a disruption of the imperial city's order.

"Master, you shouldn't do this. After all, this is the capital city. There are so many guards patrolling the city. What if they find you and throw you in jail?"

Xiaoyaozi said nonchalantly, "My dear disciple, what are you afraid of? Aren't you friends with that Eighth Prince? If those city guards dare to arrest me, just bring up the Eighth Prince to scare them to death!"

As he spoke, Xiaoyaozi pointed to the emerald green jade pendant on Fang Qingyou's waist, which was the very jade pendant that Luo Qianmo had given her.

Fang Qingyou wanted to say that Luo Qianmo, the dignified Eighth Prince, would never care about her, a commoner friend.

Actually, when she thought about it this way, she still felt a little bitter.

Before she could persuade him any further, Xiaoyaozi skipped and hopped away.

"Master, Master..." Fang Qingyou reacted and immediately followed Xiaoyaozi.

She certainly hadn't lost the cloth bag on her back; the things inside were priceless.

As a result, they couldn't catch up.

Fang Qingyou had only followed Xiaoyaozi around one intersection when his figure disappeared from her sight.

She really wondered if Xiaoyaozi knew some kind of light-body skill, how could he always appear and disappear so suddenly?

Looking at the bustling scene at the intersection, Fang Qingyou was speechless and rubbed her forehead. Had she found a master or a "brat" to take in?

Speechless as she was, Fang Qingyou really couldn't convince herself to abandon Xiaoyaozi.

So they had no choice but to find an inn nearby to rest for the time being.

However, before entering the inn, "Fang Shiyu" had quietly changed into Fang Qingyou.

After a satisfying meal, Fang Qingyou practiced martial arts in her room to aid digestion, and then focused on studying medicine.

Fang Qingyou stood by the window after it had completely darkened outside.

Fang Qingyou specially chose this room, which offers a clear view of most of the street.

At this time, all the windows along the street were tightly closed, except for Fang Qingyou, who had her window wide open.

During the Ghost Festival, the streets are filled with the smell of burning incense, candles, and paper money.

Fang Qingyou searched the streets for Xiaoyaozi, hoping nothing had happened to him.

If he were really caught, she wouldn't have any ability to get him out.

However, Fang Qingyou had also thought of a way out. If it really came to that, she would have no choice but to ask She Yuyan for help.

Actually, Fang Qingyou secretly wished that Xiaoyaozi would stay in prison a few more days and suffer, so that he could have less trouble next time.

Ahem, although this idea is somewhat unfilial.

Time passed slowly, the sky grew darker, and the number of people burning paper money on the road gradually decreased, and the smell of incense and paper money in the air began to fade.

Burnt pieces of paper flew in the wind, like drifting souls.

"Over there, over there! Hurry and chase after them!" Fang Qingyou had been standing by the window until her legs ached. Suddenly, she heard a commotion in the street, as if many people were running towards her.

Fang Qingyou looked into the distance and saw a dense cluster of torches. Judging from the sound of clashing swords, it was clearly a group of city guards on patrol.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyou had a bad feeling.

Then, she followed the direction the guards were chasing and searched, and sure enough, she found a conspicuous white figure not far away. The white figure hopped and skipped across the street, whether to scare people or to provoke the guards, she didn't know.

Even though she couldn't see the white figure's face clearly, Fang Qingyou knew it must be Xiaoyaozi.

Aside from him, I doubt many others could do something like this.

Ordinary white clothes wouldn't be so clearly visible in the night. Xiaoyaozi's tattered white robe had obviously been treated with a chemical beforehand, causing it to glow in the night, but it emitted a rather eerie, pale light.

Seeing dozens of guards relentlessly pursuing Xiaoyaozi, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but wonder how many poor children had been frightened by him.

Xiaoyaozi was escaping quite smoothly, hopping and skipping almost across the street, but at that moment, dozens of guards emerged from the other end of the street.

Then, Xiaoyaozi was surrounded from both sides.

At that time, Fang Qingyou felt that Xiaoyaozi's jumping movements didn't seem so smug anymore.

"Master, you're finally going to reap what you sow." Fang Qingyou stood by the window, deciding to remain a bystander for the time being.

She would absolutely not make a move as long as Xiaoyaozi's life was safe.

However, upon hearing the increasingly loud cries of "Miss Fang," Fang Qingyou nearly fell off the window.

This is Xiaoyaozi calling her, forcing her to show herself!

Fang Qingyou smiled bitterly. She felt like a complete failure, that Xiaoyaozi had seen right through her.

Doesn't he realize that he has already left Yunjing City?

Did he foresee that he would end up staying here?
