The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Luo Qingcheng can speak fluently whenever he wants.

"How could anything happen to Yulang? I would give my life to save him, rather than let him suffer even the slightest harm!"

A woman's mouth is a liar.

If either of the two women present were truly sincere, Yu Lang wouldn't still be lying on the ground.

Seeing that Yu Lang could still react, Luo Qingcheng guessed that he was alright.

Having vented his anger, he now thought about the quest and, fearing he might have killed a key NPC, unusually spoke his mind: "Let's find him a doctor."

Little White Flower stood there unwillingly, not moving an inch. "Of course! Do I need you to tell me?! You venomous woman, once Brother Yu wakes up, I'll make him divorce you!"

Seeing that the little white flower didn't move, Luo Qingcheng understood everything.

I guess this little white flower is also a fellow cultivator who entered the illusionary realm, and most likely arrived much earlier than her.

After all, she hit Yulang simply because she couldn't stand this narcissistic idiot, and after she calmed down, she still prioritized the mission.

But Xiaobaihua didn't care, or rather, she was just throwing caution to the wind.

Luo Qingcheng tentatively said, "If anything happens to Yulang, I won't live either!"

This means that if they don't save this NPC, they might not be able to escape the illusion.

Little White Flower snorted coldly, "Even if Brother Yu is alright, you won't have an easy time!"

Does this mean that whether or not this NPC is saved, they won't be able to escape the illusion?

Luo Qingcheng was helpless.

"I only hate that the wound is on my lover's body, but the pain is in my heart!"

(What should we do then?)

"If that's the case, why don't you use your sorcery to revive Brother Yu? It's all just pretense! Luckily, Brother Yu has already seen through your true colors!"

(You need to figure something out, I need to know I'm still here!)

Luo Qingcheng remained silent.

According to the information revealed by Xiaobaihua, this illusion seems to be quite complex.

……

"Miss?"

Hongdou grabbed a fish, circled around twice, but couldn't find Luo Qingcheng. She puffed out her cheeks in frustration.

"Miss must have abandoned Red Bean again! Red Bean is so angry!"

She decided never to forgive Luo Qingcheng again!

The next second, Luo Qingcheng's face appeared in front of Hongdou, holding a stick with grilled fish on it, which she shoved into Hongdou's face.

The fragrant aroma of grilled fish instantly filled Hongdou's nasal cavity, making his taste buds restless and causing him to salivate.

"Why are you angry? You weren't awake just now, so I went to get firewood to grill fish for you. How can you be angry with me for that? I think you should be the young lady instead."

Luo Qingcheng was about to take back the fish that was stuck in Hongdou's face when Hongdou grabbed him.

Hongdou smiled, her eyes crinkling and revealing her big teeth: "Miss, I misunderstood you. I'm so sorry, Miss."

Seeing that she had the upper hand, Luo Qingcheng shoved the grilled fish stick in her hand into Hongdou's hand and said, "You're smart enough to admit your mistake quickly, so this time I'll let you off the hook."

Hongdou happily accepted the grilled fish and took a big bite.

The deliciousness of the grilled fish drove away the sense of unease that had risen in her heart. Hongdou held up the grilled fish and happily followed behind Luo Qingcheng.

Anyway, with the prostitute around, it's fine if she doesn't do anything!

Red Bean thought to herself with delight.

"Aren't you going to catch up?"

"Miss is here!"

With a piece of grilled fish in her mouth, Hongdou asked indistinctly, "Miss, where are we going now?"

Luo Qingcheng replied lazily, "I just took a stroll around. This area is all mountains and forests, deserted and uninhabited. But there is one very strange place. A mansion has been built in the middle of the desolate mountains and forests. There must be something wrong with it. This trip may be dangerous. You should keep your life-saving jade pendant safe. If you encounter danger, get out of there as soon as possible."

Hongdou spat out the fishbone in her mouth. "Miss, why are you speaking so formally? It's not like you at all. I can't understand you."

It's not that I can't understand it, but it's a bit strange.

This way of speaking is more like that of a young lady from the past. Later, this young lady became illiterate, her writing was incomplete, and she spoke in plain language.

Luo Qingcheng was taken aback.

She glanced back at Hongdou, whose eyes were clear, and cleared her throat. "Hongdou, let me see your jade pendant."

Hongdou obediently rummaged through the storage bag, searching for a while in the corner before finally finding the jade token and handing it to Luo Qingcheng.

Luo Qingcheng took the jade pendant and stroked it for a moment before quickly returning it to Hongdou. He then instructed her again, "Hongdou, you spent too much time looking for the jade pendant. If you encounter danger, you won't have time to escape. Remember to keep it safe and remember where you store it."

"Yes, Miss, I understand."

Hongdou nodded, carefully placed the jade pendant, and asked, "Miss, are we not there yet?"

"What's the rush? We'll be there after just around the corner," Luo Qingcheng replied slowly and deliberately, her skirt swaying slightly as she moved with graceful poise, befitting a noblewoman.

“Oh.” Hongdou quietly observed Luo Qingcheng’s expression. The sense of unease that she had forcibly suppressed earlier rose up again, but she couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so she could only nod sullenly and say nothing more.

Luo Qingcheng didn't lie to Hongdou. After walking for a short while, he turned a corner and saw a luxurious mansion standing deep in the mountains. The two large characters "Zhou Mansion" were outlined in gold on the plaque, and a large flower made of red cloth occupied the center position of the plaque. Large red lanterns were also hanging on both sides of the door.

There were still traces of firecrackers left in front of the gate, making it easy to see that the Zhou family was holding a happy event.

At first glance, it has a rather mysterious feel to it.

The noisy, bustling crowd amplified the eeriness of the place.

Hongdou approached Luo Qingcheng somewhat fearfully, "Miss, did you hear anything?"

There was no one in front of them, but the sounds of conversation and laughter echoed through the old forest.

Luo Qingcheng smiled gently and patted Hongdou's hand, which was tightly gripping her sleeve, to comfort her, "No, are you just hallucinating because you're too nervous?"

Hongdou looked at Luo Qingcheng suspiciously.

After Luo Qingcheng spoke, Hongdou indeed stopped hearing any strange sounds. For a moment, she wondered if she had really been hallucinating.

But since the sound had disappeared, Hongdou did not pursue the matter further.

She nodded, seemingly agreeing with Luo Qingcheng's words. She slowly loosened her grip on her sleeve, and accidentally brushed against Luo Qingcheng's hand, which was hidden under the wide sleeve, as she walked.

It felt cool and damp to the touch.

Hongdou was startled and stopped in her tracks.

Then she saw Luo Qingcheng ahead, who turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression when he noticed she hadn't followed. "What's wrong, Hongdou?"

Hongdou rubbed her index finger and thumb together, and the dampness on her fingers gradually disappeared, as if it had evaporated with the air, but left a faint itch.

She looked up, revealing the carefree smile that Luo Qingcheng knew so well, and replied, "Miss, I just suddenly got tired and wanted to rest for a bit."

"We're almost there. Hang in there, we can rest once we get inside the manor."

Luo Qingcheng frowned, not quite agreeing with Hongdou's reasoning. After urging her on, he saw that Hongdou was still unwilling to continue, and his expression gradually became impatient.
