Feeling Su Qingwen's gaze, Hua Yueye finally turned his eyes to the black - clothed man on the ground and asked in surprise, "What on earth is going on?"
"Um..." Su Qingwen rolled her eyes. "Maybe it's because he's done too many bad deeds and God is punishing him."
"Forget it." Hua Yueye waved his hand, sighed with a bit of helplessness, and then found a few people to drag the limp black - clothed man away.
"Hua Yueye, did you feel anything just now?" Su Qingwen turned to look at him and asked curiously.
"Seemingly nothing." Hua Yueye frowned in confusion. "Should I have felt something?"
"Never mind." Su Qingwen shook her head quickly. It seemed the system was right. Hua Yueye showed no reaction at all.
After they got back, they tied up the black - clothed man tightly and planned to ask him why he had kidnapped the maidens.
Apparently, Su Qingwen had been too brutal when she attacked. The black - clothed man was almost crippled. It took them a great deal of effort to barely wake him up.
"Who sent you?!" Seeing him wake up, Hua Yueye immediately rushed over, grabbed the man's collar and asked sternly.
"..." The man shut his mouth and said nothing. However, he still rolled his eyes from time to time to prove that he was still alive.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen finally lost her patience. "If you still don't talk, we'll throw you into the tiger forest and let you experience what it's like to be torn apart by animals."
Hearing this, Hua Yueye couldn't help but glance at her. This girl was quite ruthless.
"I know nothing. If doing so can make you happier, then go ahead." The black - clothed man gave a bitter smile and showed an expression of resignation.
Now, Su Qingwen was really at a loss. This man was impervious to both soft and hard tactics. Thinking of this, she suddenly slapped the man's cheek. "I'm warning you. If you still don't talk, we'll arrest your family. I don't think you'd want to implicate innocent people."
As soon as she said this, the man's face suddenly turned pale. He gave a bitter smile, looked extremely conflicted, opened his mouth as if he was about to say something.
Su Qingwen stared at him eagerly and was about to go closer to listen when the man's body suddenly began to tremble. No, it was a convulsion. He looked as if he was having a fit.
"What's wrong with him?" Su Qingwen covered her lips and took a panicked step back.
Hua Yueye strode forward, quickly grabbed the man's throat and slapped his back hard. However, it was already too late. Black blood kept flowing out of the black - clothed man's mouth as if he had been poisoned.
"Is he... poisoned?" Su Qingwen widened her eyes. She was very curious. How could this man be poisoned all of a sudden? It was so strange.
In just a moment, the man's eyes rolled back and it seemed he was about to die.
Hua Yueye reached out and tapped the man's chest twice, then put his ear close to the man's mouth. "Hurry up and tell me. Where are the maidens?"
"In... in... the warehouse outside the city." After leaving this sentence, the man tilted his head and died.
"Is he dead?" Su Qingwen put her palm in front of his nose and mouth and asked.
Sure enough, there was no breath. It seemed he had been poisoned. It was so strange. How could someone have poisoned him right under their noses?
"Let's hurry to the warehouse." Hua Yueye left the man behind and planned to ride off at full speed.
Naturally, Su Qingwen wanted to join in the fun. She quickly followed him. "Wait. I'll go with you."
"There may be an ambush. You'd better wait here." Hua Yueye frowned and glanced at her.
Naturally, Su Qingwen was unwilling. Ignoring his words, she quickly rushed outside, mounted her horse and galloped into the distance.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the sky and gradually covered the moon. Su Qingwen looked up at the sky in confusion. She thought to herself, wasn't this a total lunar eclipse? It was such a once - in - a - century event and she had actually witnessed it. It was really something.
No, this phenomenon seemed abnormal. It seemed like some kind of ceremony was about to be held.
[System: Honey, hurry over there now. There's a speed spell. With it, you can travel three thousand miles a day. I'll transfer it to you.]
"Okay." Su Qingwen nodded quickly. A ray of light appeared in front of her eyes. Then she felt a surge of power in her body. A strong thrust rushed towards her.
She quickly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was already at the warehouse door.
There, a white - clothed maiden was standing on the ground in despair. Her face was covered with tears. Her whole body was trembling constantly and she looked terrified.
Like a small whirlwind, Su Qingwen immediately rushed in and grabbed the maiden's arm.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Qingwen looked down at the poor girl and found that there was a sharp dagger in her hand. She was about to commit suicide.
"Look, the moon is covered again. We're going to be taken to have our blood drawn again. I don't want that. I want to die with dignity." The maiden cried and knelt on the ground.
What a mess. Su Qingwen thought this girl might have been locked up for too long and her mind was not working properly.
"Were you also kidnapped?" Another red - clothed girl looked at Su Qingwen curiously and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"No." Su Qingwen shook her head and helplessly rubbed her forehead. "I'm here to rescue you. Stop talking so much now. Hurry up and come with me. I'll take you away from this hellhole."
"Really?" The girl looked at her suspiciously. "That bad guy is extremely powerful. How did you find this place? You're not trying to deceive us, are you? A total lunar eclipse is coming soon. One of us will surely be bled."
Bled? How cruel! Su Qingwen raised her eyes in surprise and impatiently explained, "I'll say it one last time. I'm really not a bad person. Why do women have to make things difficult for each other? Now, hurry up and come with me. You won't get another chance!"
After saying that, she didn't bother to explain any more and grabbed the white - clothed maiden and rushed outside.
When the other girls saw this, they screamed crazily. They were like a bunch of annoying ducks. Su Qingwen found them so noisy that she even wanted to gag their mouths.
The sound of horses' hooves came from outside. It seemed Hua Yueye had brought the troops. Su Qingwen sighed. "You all watch carefully later. We're not bad people."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Yueye rushed in. Today he was dressed in black. His hair was tied up with a ribbon, revealing his handsome features. He looked very neat and tidy. When he came in, the eyes of many maidens were immediately drawn to him.
