The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

In Qingqiu, fox elements are often used as decorations, and there are quite a few little demons wearing fox masks on the streets.

Rong Xuan took the fox mask from Mu Yunjian and smiled, "Junior Brother Mu has really grown up."

Mu Yunjian looked disgusted by his saccharine praise, which sounded like that of an elder: "What do you mean by 'grown up'? We're about the same age."

"You just started learning a few years earlier than me."

Rong Xuan smiled and didn't argue with him. After asking the vendor the price of the masks, she bought three more fox masks of different designs and paid for them all at once.

Rong Xuan said, "These are for Master, Junior Brother Ning, and Junior Sister Yun."

This time, Mu Yunjian remained silent. He put the fox mask on his face and said, "Let's go."

The mask concealed his expression.

Mu Yunjian secretly curled her lip. If he wanted her, he would give her a hairpin. Masks were such flashy but impractical things, humph.

Fortunately, there are quite a few white foxes in Qingqiu, and the hair that demon cultivators transform into often matches their own fur color, so Mu Yunjian's white hair is not conspicuous on the street.

In contrast, the Emperor's decree, with his dazzling appearance, was pelted with spiritual flowers by an enthusiastic female demon before he had even reached halfway through his journey to the Flower Street.

Not only did he fail to find the person he was looking for, but he was also covered in flowers. Emperor Zhao's face darkened, and he finally calmed down by finding the ugliest Yaksha mask on the roadside and putting it on.

However, Di Zhao's red robes were quite eye-catching. Ning Tinglan didn't know about the others, but he saw Di Zhao from afar.

After parting ways with Yun Yici, Ning Tinglan put away her spirit sword.

He originally intended to use the water-repelling scales given to him by Ling Wan to hide in the water, but he was afraid that when Shi Yan and the others went to places with water to look for Xing Yu, they would accidentally find him.

So he used the magic stone to disguise himself as a woman, and then hid in the most crowded place to observe what would happen.

So... one of the flowers that was smashed by the imperial edict was thrown by him, cough...

Fortunately, just as he had expected, the emperor was so distracted by the flattery of these female demons that he didn't even notice his presence.

Ning Tinglan mingled among the female demons, and as the Emperor's decree departed, the attention of these enthusiastic female demons shifted.

He let out a long sigh, and absentmindedly imitated the female demon beside him, picking up the nearest hairpin and trying it on his head.

To his surprise, just as he raised his hand, Shi Yan's voice came from behind him: "The glass beads that were just assigned to our groups seem to have a secret; I can't even breathe through my nose."

"Everything smells the same, otherwise it would be easy to get those two people to fix it."

Hearing Shi Yan's obvious frustration, Ci Ying laughed and said, "To be fair, I can't fly either."

“I think that female cultivator is capable of subduing the Candle Dragon, and she will surely become a regional overlord in the future.”

“We arrest people according to the rules, and we don’t need to target anyone specifically. Why offend anyone?”

"Just treat them the same as Xing Yuhuayi."

Upon hearing Ci Ying's words, Shi Yan happily replied, "I never intended to target them. By the way, since we're already here, take a look at these pieces of jewelry and see if there's anything you like."

Ning Tinglan had already put down the hairpin and retreated to the flower shop to the side while they were talking.

Shi Yan glanced at the female cultivator and felt that she had an extraordinary temperament. He wanted to take another look, but then realized it was inappropriate and quickly looked away.

Ci Ying naturally didn't notice Shi Yan's little thoughts. She sighed, "I used to think that finding someone in the outer city in half an hour would be a very simple thing."

"I didn't expect it to be this difficult."

Just as Ci Ying finished speaking, the two heard a scream from the crowd.

Ning Tinglan also looked in the direction of the sound and saw a round tortoise shell standing upright rolling rapidly in the crowd.

In addition, a purple dragon on the tortoise shell seemed to be running on a roller, its four legs leaving only afterimages.

He could also faintly hear Xingyu cursing: "Get out of here, you're standing on my shell and slowing me down."

The dragon retorted, "Do you think I want to be with you?! I can't fly anymore!!"

"Run!! They're catching up!!"

Looking behind them, two men wearing fox masks were intercepting the dragon and turtle that were charging around.

Ning Tinglan, holding the spirit flower, recognized Rong Xuan and Mu Yunjian at a glance.

He lowered his eyes and put the spirit flower back in his hand. Shi Yan and Ci Ying, who had also witnessed this scene, stepped forward to help surround Xing Yu and the other person.

When Hua Yi saw Shi Yan, he was first delighted, and then he saw Ci Ying beside him.

He exclaimed incredulously, "You...you..."

Hiding in its shell, Xingyu waited for the right moment, extended a claw and pressed it to the ground, then flipped over and spun rapidly in place, throwing off the flower petals on its body, before immediately darting into the shadows.

The poor little dragon cub was thrown face-first into the dirt and had its tail stepped on by the person in the fox mask. When it looked up, it saw its good brother standing next to its beloved.

Hua Yi roared in fury, "Shi Yan, you!"

Shi Yan turned his head away guiltily: "Brother, I can't help it because of the rules, and it wasn't me who found you or arrested you."

Mu Yunjian removed his mask and handed it to Hua Yi: "Hand over the things, and you can go and rest."

Hua Yi saw Mu Yunjian and said in grief and indignation, "I promised to repay you a treasure I owed you. We were in cahoots, and yet you captured me."

"You are not human."

Mu Yunjian laughed and said, "I'm not human, so are you?"

Hua Yi glared at Mu Yunjian, then at Shi Yan, before reluctantly handing over her treasure. She was then obediently taken back to the inner city by the fox clan elder.

Shi Yan straightened up after seeing Hua Yi being taken away: "I won't give the others to you anymore."

Mu Yunjian said, "Then you need to hurry, half the time has already passed."

To find Hua Yi and Xing Yu, they relied on Rong Xuan's puppets.

The puppet was an inanimate object, but after being put on a mask, it moved like a ghost in the dark. It was Hua Yi who was so frightened that he screamed, which also exposed Xing Yu.

Hua Yi's capture indicates that only five people remain on the opposing side.

With time running out, Shi Yan's competitive spirit finally overwhelmed his leisurely interest in romance.

He looked around and asked, "Hua Yi has been arrested, but where is Xing Yu?"

The black tortoise is small and dark, so it must have found a place to hide.

Shi Yan lay on the ground, and before he could search carefully, he had only crawled a few steps when he bumped into the hem of the demoness's skirt. Then came the demoness's scream and her demon companion's angry shouts.

Looking at Shi Yan, who was being held back and couldn't get away, Mu Yunjian said, "If he comes looking for me, I won't be afraid."

What does it mean to have a teammate who's as bad as a pig?

Right here.

Rong Xuan slowly removed his fox mask. He glanced discreetly at the tall female cultivator standing in front of the flower shop, then said to Mu Yunjian, "Let's go."

The two put on fox masks and left again, and Xingyu, who was hiding under Ning Tinglan's skirt, breathed a sigh of relief.
