East China Sea dust

After listening to the flower demon's rambling long speech, Ao Zhan stood in front of Yao Yitang without saying a word.His expression was probing, as if he was considering how credible the other party's words were.

The flower demon struggled a few times with the red-marked arm strangled by the spirit-binding lock, and pursed her chapped and thin lips, very embarrassed: "I have already told you everything I know."

The Longevity Lock is small and exquisite, probably made by Yao Yitang himself, and the silver is decorated with a few crabapple flowers.

The man's fingers were well-articulated, and his slender and strong fingertips held the small piece of silver jewelry, and he cast a noncommittal look at the embarrassed woman in front of him.

He only heard the Dragon King of the East China Sea snort, his expression was indifferent, and he pointed out: "It's really stupid."

Seeing the undisguised sarcasm in the other party's eyes, Yao Yitang said angrily, "You...!"

Before the end of the sentence, it was interrupted by a voice as cold as a broken jade spring——

"Lord Yao."

Hearing the voice suddenly coming from not far away, Yao Yitang hastily raised his head.

I saw Zhang Qinglan standing in front of the steps with a pale face, holding on to the mossy wall of the dungeon with one hand: "Besides, I have a few more questions to ask you."

After the young man finished speaking, he lowered his eyelashes halfway, clenched his right hand into a fist to cover his lips, coughed a few times, and then regained his composure, and stared at the flower demon in the pool leisurely.

It seemed as if he had been waiting in the corner for a long time.

Yao Yitang was seriously injured, and Fang Cai was eager to save his son and only cared about confessing to Ao Zhan, so naturally he didn't notice the young man who quietly appeared in the corner.

Now Zhang Qinglan's sudden opening made her startled, she subconsciously withdrew her eyes and looked at the face of the man standing still in front of her, only to find that the man folded his arms, his expression was calm, and he looked like he had known such acquiescence.

"You guys," Yao Yitang frowned upon seeing this, struggled a few times in his heart, and finally got discouraged, looked at the young man approaching and said, "Forget it. If you want to ask anything else, just ask."

The young man's injuries were not fully healed, he walked with a limp, and walked for a long time without stopping, before he almost reached Ao Zhan's side.

Zhang Qinglan stopped when she was still a few steps away from the man.

Hearing what the flower demon said, a careless smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he folded his hands, saluted casually, and said softly, "Thank you."

Standing obliquely in front of him, Ao Zhan suddenly heard the hoarseness and weakness in Zhang Qinglan's voice, which floated leisurely from behind to his ears, and felt like a feather fell on his heart, causing a slight itchiness meaning.

In fact, the moment before Zhang Qinglan pushed open the stone door of the dungeon, he had already noticed the existence of the other party.

With weak footsteps and soft breathing, one can tell that this person has just woken up from a coma. He heard that the master was interrogating prisoners in the water prison, and hurried over without even taking a break.

Come and come, but stand so far away from him on purpose... It's really uncoordinated/educated.

Recalling the scars all over the opponent's body before, coupled with the obvious alienation now, Ao Zhan only felt a burst of boredom for no reason.

He didn't listen carefully to what Yao Yitang said, the man's eyes gradually darkened.Turning sideways abruptly, his eyes swept over the young man unscrupulously.

The light in the dungeon was ambiguous and dim, and the dark candlelight outlined the outline of Zhang Qinglan's body.

Probably because he got up in a hurry, the young man only took a simple cloth belt to tie his hair.The black hair was tied behind the head, and a few strands fell down, sticking to the white skin of the neck, making the whole person even more sickly.

Looking down, Ao Zhan looked carefully.

Before the two were far away, everything was hidden in the darkness.It wasn't until Zhang Qinglan got close that he could clearly see that he was actually wearing his own clothes.

Finally, he recalled that the tattered suit the other party was wearing had been burned to ashes by himself.In the secret room, there is only a change of clothes for his usual retreat... Ao Zhan raised his brows slightly.

Naturally, the clothes are made of good materials that are hard to come by. Ao Zhan prefers dark colors, and the tailors in the mansion do what he likes. Most of the clothes they make are black, gold, dark blue and other dark colors intertwined.

This is the case with Zhang Qinglan's open-sleeved brocade robe.The base is dark blue, the piping is snow-white, and the light gold embroidery thread is embellished with dark patterns on the hem of the clothes. Under the light of the lamps and candles, there is a light halo.

There is a big difference in the two figures, so the brocade robe hangs loosely on the young man, a small piece of scenery is inevitably exposed at the collar, and the slender neck and collarbone are clearly visible.The overly long sleeves were folded up, revealing the thin wrist bones and a small section of arm underneath.

The overly voluminous robe made him thinner, and his eyes were light blue.The young man stood on the spot with his back straight, and in Ao Zhan's eyes, he looked precarious, which was very pitiful.

Zhang Qinglan saw Ao Zhan turning towards him, and lowered his eyelashes against the other's fiery gaze, but he didn't say much until the end.

Taking out a pair of gold-plated scissors from his pocket, Zhang Qinglan handed the scissors to Yao Yitang's eyes: "Lord Yao, look." His voice was calm, as if it was just an ordinary pair of scissors.

The scissors were still stained with a few sporadic blood stains. If you looked carefully, you could find that this was obviously the one that Zhang Qinglan used to attack him when he was fighting with the monster in the unnamed shop.

Sure enough, after Yao Yitang saw clearly what Zhang Qinglan was holding in his hand, he became flustered, stepped back abruptly, pulled the spirit-binding lock on his body, and made several muffled clangs: " You!... I, I..."

Ao Zhan smelled Zhang Qinglan from the blood on the scissors, and immediately frowned, looking at Yao Yitang with a rather unkind expression.

Reminiscent of the strong bloody smell and scars on Zhang Qinglan's body when he met Zhang Qinglan in the other courtyard, Ao Zhan's expression became even more stern.

Ao Zhan stepped forward to stand in front of Zhang Qinglan, took the scissors from the opponent's hand, and squeezed the young man's cold hands, and said in a cold tone, "What's going on here?"

Feeling the cold body temperature coming from the back of her hand, Zhang Qinglan was stunned.He quickly came back to his senses, but he just shook his head.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhang Qinglan said: "In the illusion before, I stumbled into an unnamed shop by accident. The shop is full of paper-cut carvings, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite."

"It's just that there is a monster guarding me in this shop. Its face is a sticky black mist, but its body shape is no different from that of a human being." Zhang Qinglan saw Yao Yitang's gradually becoming ugly expression, and suddenly became concerned: " If I'm not mistaken, this monster is you?"

Yao Yitang's expression darkened when he heard the words, and the already dry lower lip was bitten by herself until blood oozes.

After a long silence, he nodded slowly: "It's me."

"That's actually a technique that can increase the power of monsters in a short period of time...it can also turn people into monsters for me to drive."

"It makes sense in this way," Zhang Qinglan got the answer, but she didn't get too entangled in the fact that the other party injured herself with scissors. Instead, she brought up the past and said calmly: "It seems that those monsters who were in Baihualou before , it must be because of the influence of the spell that it became such a mortal."

Yao Yitang didn't want to argue, and immediately confessed: "Yes."

"How can we change them back?" Zhang Qinglan looked at the flower demon's still beautiful face: "Since you can change back to your current appearance, the group of mortals in Baihualou can naturally do it too, right?"

Begonia Flower Demon looked slightly startled, and nodded slowly after a short while: "Yes."

"My magic power is low, and it will take only seven days at most before the spell will be dispelled by itself." Sighing, Yao Yitang continued: "These are just some preparations to attract your attention."

"I didn't want to hurt ordinary people. When the spell is released, the memory of these people will also be erased."

"It's you," Yao Yitang changed the subject, and met the young man Gu Jing Wubo's eyes: "You are just an ordinary mortal, how can you break into the space gap I set up?"

"Besides, if you didn't barge in on your own will," Yao Yitang's voice paused at this point: "I wouldn't...wouldn't hurt you on purpose."

After Zhang Qinglan heard the flower demon's defense, her voice quickly became cold: "I just want to get away as soon as possible."

Yao Yitang gritted his teeth, as if he still wanted to say something.

Ao Zhan listened silently to the conversation between the two, but at this moment he noticed the aura that suddenly began to drain from the young man's body.

Ao Zhan's expression suddenly changed, and a blue energy immediately hit Yao Yitang's eyebrows.With a slight movement of his body, he strode behind the young man.

At the same time, the Begonia flower demon was forced to faint by the cold air, and the young man standing in front of her also had his knees weak because of being too tired, and he was about to fall to the ground.

But at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, Ao Zhan held his shoulders tightly.

Standing beside Zhang Qinglan, Ao Zhan stretched out his hand. Unexpectedly, he directly hugged Zhang Qinglan.

The scenery in front of her was dizzying, Zhang Qinglan opened her phoenix eyes slightly, and felt that after a while of dizziness, the whole person had fallen into Ao Zhan's embrace.

Subconsciously stretched out her hand and clenched the man's skirt, Zhang Qinglan leaned halfway in front of Ao Zhan's chest, stiff and motionless: "..."

When he came back to his senses again, Ao Zhan had already started to stride forward.

The passing of the spiritual energy made Zhang Qinglan's hands and feet weak, and she was even more powerless to struggle.He could only lean against the man's chest and raise his head, looking helplessly at the man's strong jaw.

Facing the surprised expression of the young man in his arms, the man didn't explain anything until the end, he just gestured to Butler Wang who was bowing and waiting in the corner, and gave a few instructions in a low voice through voice transmission.

Not long after, the gate of the dungeon opened, and a group of soldiers would file in and guard around the water dungeon.

Without saying a word, Ao Zhan walked up the stairs with Zhang Qinglan in his arms, and soon left the dark and cramped dungeon.
