"I couldn't find Qinglang, so I came to you to see if you could help me find it."

I really wanted to ignore the shocking news that Bai Qian had just said, but I just couldn't calm down.

"Qinglang? It should still be hiding in a lake near Changcheng Prefecture, maybe Tianhe Lake?" Xi forced herself not to think about what Bai Qian had just said.

Thinking about it carefully, it is still possible to do it. After all, the headquarters of the Qinglang Gang obviously couldn't stop this demon. It's just that it sounds a bit too shocking.

Even a savior descending to earth wouldn't be this bad.

"Where?" Bai Qian asked directly.

You don't need to know any other information, just the location.

"Tianhe Lake is quite famous in Changcheng Prefecture. You can ask Miss Pei Huan later; she knows about it."

"I understand." Bai Qian nodded.

Before Xi could say another word, Bai Qian stood up.

Then it disappeared from the stream's sight.

Xi was left alone in the water, blinking as she looked at the empty bottom.

Then it dawned on me.

I still have something for you!

Bai Qian snapped out of her reverie.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Pei Huan, covered in blood, holding a long sword and cautiously looking around.

When he met Bai Qian's gaze, his previously wary face immediately fell, turning into a look that resembled crying, but even more like a wronged expression.

It pounced on her in an instant, so fast that Bai Qian didn't even have time to react.

He hugged Bai Qian and rubbed against her twice.

"Master, you're finally back." His voice still carried a hint of grievance.

Bai Qian pushed her away twice in disgust.

"Let go first." The dress, which had remained pristine white, was now covered in blood.

"No."

I'm so sorry, this was supposed to be posted this afternoon, but it's been delayed until now. I'm very sorry (bowing). I'm also very grateful for everyone's feedback. The author will seriously consider the following plot.

Love you all!

Volume 1: Chapter 197, Master Qian's body was small and soft.

Although Bai Qian seemed to have spent a whole day in Lingxi's incense-burning place, Pei Huan had only spent less than half an hour there. This was partly due to the nature of the incense-burning place, as the flow of time differed between worlds.

Although there were some differences, Pei Huan felt that this short period of less than half an hour was quite agonizing for her.

For Pei Huan, Bai Qian has always been her pillar of support. Although she hasn't known Bai Qian for very long, Bai Qian has been the one to solve all the problems she has faced so far.

She admitted that she was useless, and since she was of no use in combat, she might as well do something else.

If Bai Qian is short of money, then I will prepare enough money for her. If Bai Qian is short of martial arts skills or food, then I will prepare everything for her. There will always be a reason why Bai Qian needs me.

Pei Huan had always thought this way, but now...

When Bai Qian suddenly entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, and this responsibility was something she was least good at.

Her first reaction was panic, and then she remained panicked; she didn't feel she could shoulder this responsibility.

To say that he doubts himself is less accurate than to say that he has self-awareness.

But no matter how much he doubted himself, Pei Huan could only force himself not to think about these things. What he had to do was actually very simple: no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he had to do everything he could to stop them.

Fortunately, she had a decorative longsword with her, fortunately she had the power given to her by Bai Qian, and fortunately, although the enemy opposite her was strange, he was not too difficult to deal with.

Countless fortunate events have built up the current scene. Regardless of the ball of fire within his body scorching everything it touches—blood vessels, internal organs, skin... Under the full force of his power, Pei Huan can only feel that excruciating pain, with the relentless flames spreading to every corner of his body.

If it were before, Pei Huan felt that she would not have been able to bear this pain.

After all, she was pampered as a rich girl since childhood.

But now... whether it's pain or this burning sensation, I feel like I can easily bear it.

He relentlessly squeezed the body's strength, wielding his sword to shred all the flesh and blood in his sight.

Even as he felt his body was about to be burned to ashes and his vision was gradually turning black, he showed no sign of stopping.

Because this was something Bai Qian had told him before.

It's no longer a matter of life and death; if it were just about survival, Pei Huan would have given up long ago.

Living in such agony is worse than being dead.

But since it was something Bai Qian entrusted to me... then it's not something that can be measured so simply.

She managed to hold on until the very end, but by then, her body, pushed to its limit, could only numbly and blankly swing her sword, slashing down all the monsters that approached Bai Qian. Her body was like a flickering candle flame about to go out.

So when he saw Bai Qian regain her senses, Pei Huan's tense nerves snapped. He hugged Bai Qian tightly and rubbed against her a few times, muttered a few incomprehensible words, and then fainted.

Although she had fainted, she still clung tightly to Bai Qian, refusing to let go no matter how much Bai Qian tried to push her away.

He held her tightly, as if he wanted to strangle Bai Qian.

I also sensed that Pei Huan's body was in a rather bad state, which I didn't expect.

Before entering the dream, she placed something on Pei Huan so that even if she couldn't block it, there wouldn't actually be any problems.

The monsters emanating from the surrounding area, caused by the corruption of the Tai Sui demon by the incense-burning site in Lingxi, cannot break through the protection set up by Bai Qian.

But I didn't expect Pei Huan to work so hard?

Her pale fingers rested on Pei Huan's blood-stained neck, like a gentle breeze that lifted their clothes and wisps of hair.

The blood on the clothes seemed like dust, stirred up by the gentle breeze. The bloodstains on Pei Huan's body disappeared as the clothes fluttered, along with the scorch marks on Pei Huan's body caused by the fire, just as a spring breeze had smoothed out the waves.

With Pei Huan seemingly out of danger, Bai Qian finally raised her eyes to look at the surrounding flesh and blood.

His dark eyes reflected the color of blood.

The next second, all of this flesh and blood exploded at once, as if they had planned it together, or as if some bomb had suddenly exploded inside them.

The flesh that was writhing and exuding malice just a second ago turned into minced meat and fell to the ground, and then was swept away lightly by the moon-white light.

The entire cave suddenly opened up, and all the bloodstains were swept away.

"So, that's how it is?" Pei Huan sat at the table, resting his chin on his hand as he watched Bai Qian eat, picking up food for her as he spoke.

It wasn't Bai Qian who came to talk to her. Bai Qian generally doesn't like to talk when she eats; she just focuses on eating and fills her stomach first.

He puffed out his cheeks and glanced at Pei Huan, but didn't say anything.

The person chatting with Pei Huan was Ling Xi.

She woke up along with Bai Qian. Now it can be confirmed that Ling Xi and Xi are the same person. The only difference is that they are incarnations and the original body, but in essence they are both the river god of Chenghe.

Although her true form needs to rest due to the corruption of the Tai Sui Demon, she can still wake up her avatar to help Bai Qian confirm some things.

Of course, it's just an avatar, so the power it can draw upon is limited, at most reaching the level of Meridian Opening.

"Yes, thanks to Lady Asahi, I'm fine now and can move around normally."

Pei Huan remained silent upon hearing this, but a strange sense of unease arose within her.

He picked up another piece of goose meat for Bai Qian.

"So what's next?" He tilted his head to look at Bai Qian.

Bai Qian didn't like talking while eating, but Pei Huan's question was ultimately directed at her.

"I just slept. I'm going to Tianhe Lake," he mumbled, biting his chopsticks.

“It’s Tianhe Lake,” Lingxi said instinctively from the side.

"Mmm." Bai Qian nodded subconsciously.

The pronunciations are almost the same, so there's no need to fuss over it.

“Tianhe Lake, although it’s close to Changcheng Prefecture, is actually still quite a distance away.” Pei Huan subconsciously began to think upon hearing this.

"It would take half a day to get there by carriage." This is a long distance for ordinary people, but for some martial artists or demons, half a day's journey is not far.

"Then let's go there sooner? It's better to resolve this sooner." Bai Qian swallowed the rice in her mouth and said.

“Okay.” Pei Huan certainly wouldn’t refute his master’s words, saying that it would be inaccurate to say that Bai Qian’s decisions were always right.

It should be said that Asahi symbolizes correctness itself, and anyone who opposes her deserves to die.

Lingxi, who was standing next to her, had a different opinion, but she didn't dare to say it.

She felt that the two of them were discussing Qinglang like a loach on a chopping board, about to be chopped into pieces and cooked.

Regardless, Qinglang is a powerful demon king. Although there are many levels among demon kings, Qinglang's abilities are at least on par with the Tai Sui Demon in the previous incense ground.

When his lineage was at its peak, he might have been able to barely compete with these two, but under the current circumstances, that's definitely unrealistic.

But thinking about what happened to the Tai Sui demon in the previous temple, I feel relieved.

"Will I go prepare the car after we finish eating?"

"Let's just fly there."

"it is good."

Qinglang should probably regret provoking such a little devil now. Lingxi, watching Bai Qian and Pei Huan's conversation, could only think this.

After finalizing the next steps, Bai Qian stopped talking and focused on finishing the food on the table.

Pei Huan gazed at the girl's focused profile, still thinking about the feeling he had when he held Bai Qian before he fainted.

Bai Qian's body is soft and small; if you were to hold her to sleep at night, it would be the ultimate experience in the world.

Bliss!

Thinking about something quite strange, he suddenly saw the girl in front of him have her chopsticks placed on the table.

Pei Huan was startled, thinking that Bai Qian had noticed his impolite thoughts.

It turned out that Bai Qian simply turned her head to look outside the restaurant.

Pei Huan subconsciously followed Bai Qian's gaze and looked outside.

They couldn't see anything because they were now in a high-rise building belonging to the entire Changcheng Mansion. Looking out, all they could see was a gloomy sky full of dark clouds and the low buildings below the rooftop.

She was still thinking about what Bai Qian and the other person were looking at when she suddenly understood.

Lightning flashed in the dense, dark clouds, and then the rain that fell from the clouds became even denser, with raindrops falling in lines from the sky. But if the rain that had just fallen were compared to a stream...

At this moment, the rain falling from the dark clouds is like a river, something that cannot be compared at all.

"What is this?" Staring blankly at the scene, Pei Huan realized that something was wrong.

Even though Changcheng Prefecture usually gets a lot of rain, the rain right now...

Isn't that a bit too terrifying?

The continuous rain seemed to be swallowing up the entire Changcheng Mansion, and the thick, inky clouds gave people a sense of unease.

Pei Huan could even sense a chaotic aura spreading through the air.

Bai Qian lowered her eyes and looked at the torrential rain outside the restaurant without saying a word.

“It’s an array,” Lingxi said from the side.

"The [Chen Yao Tongtian Formation] has been set up," she said after a moment of silence.

"And, judging from the current trend..."

"I'm afraid it wants to flood the entire Changcheng Prefecture and turn it into a swamp."

I've been a bit off these past few days, sorry everyone. I'll work harder for the rest of the month and try my best to break into the top five of the monthly update rankings. Right now, I'm about 25,000 words behind.
