"You..."
Dongfang Huaizhu bit her lips and said, "Forget it. Let's save Qin Lan first." With that, she flew towards the detention area. Seeing this, Wang Quan Baoye chased after her like a shy young wife.
When they stepped into the cell, two bat demons were flattering Dongfang Qinlan. "Are you satisfied, young lady?" Strangely enough, it seemed as if she was on vacation rather than being imprisoned.
Dongfang Qinlan was biting a chicken leg. "The cooking is a bit underdone. It'd be better to brush some honey on the outside."
Dongfang Huaizhu: …
She didn't want this younger sister anymore.
"It seems that they're all detained here," Wang Quan Baoye said as he split open the cell with his sword. He pointed the sword at the bat demons on guard and made room for Dongfang Huaizhu to go in.
Dongfang Qinlan turned around. Her small face was smeared with oil stains, obviously left from eating the roasted chicken without cleaning her mouth properly. This made Dongfang Huaizhu swallow back the words "Sister will rescue you right away..."
It was true. Dongfang Qinlan was not the type to suffer losses. It was already polite of her not to make others look bad.
Dongfang Qinlan's eyes rolled around. She looked at Wang Quan Baoye and then at Dongfang Huaizhu. Finally, her gaze fell on their hands that were somehow clasped together again. Her eyes sparkled mischievously.
Wang Quan Baoye felt uncomfortable under her gaze and quickly let go of Dongfang Huaizhu's hand. He turned around and walked towards the door. "From what I saw just now, miss, your magical power is truly remarkable. I'll trouble you to take these detained people out."
"You... Be careful," Dongfang Huaizhu said.
Wang Quan Baoye paused. A faint blush crept up his ears. He coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry. With the help of your amazing hair - cutting skill, I'm confident to defeat him."
"As for the scabbard, I'm afraid it has made you laugh. Although it can resist poison, how can it compare with the demon - slaying divine fire of the Dongfang Spiritual Clan?"
With that, he transformed into a stream of light and flew away.
Dongfang Huaizhu stared at the direction he left in and couldn't help but stand still and look into the distance. There was a hint of admiration in her expression that even she didn't notice. But in an instant, she withdrew her gaze.
"Who is he, sister?" Dongfang Qinlan rubbed Dongfang Huaizhu's waist and said, "His mask is so ugly."
Hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu smiled knowingly. "Don't you think that mask has a unique style? It's especially... Cute?"
Dongfang Qinlan squinted her eyes and gave Dongfang Huaizhu a naughty smile, full of gossipy curiosity. "I think it's you who find him cute, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Save the people!" Dongfang Huaizhu immediately turned around. Two blushes appeared on her cheeks. She quickly walked towards the cell and released everyone.
Then, those people bowed their hands to Dongfang Huaizhu and thanked her. "Thank you, miss, for saving our lives!"
"You're welcome. Hurry up and escape."
As soon as Dongfang Huaizhu finished speaking, Dongfang Qinlan shouted at the top of her voice, "Prepare delicious food for me when I come next time!"
The people quickly replied, "Sure! Sure!"
"You're really giving me a headache," Dongfang Huaizhu said as she poked her younger sister's forehead. Then she turned to look at the three people who were sitting cross - legged on the ground, healing their wounds. "How do you guys feel now?"
After being burned by Dongfang Qinlan's demon - slaying divine fire to remove the poison, those people were as black as charcoal, looking charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Chi Huo said, "Thank you, little miss Dongfang. After being burned all over by your divine fire, the demon poison is really gone."
"Damn it. We were tricked by the demons," Xi Men Chuixue said unwillingly, cursing secretly.
Seeing this, Dongfang Huaizhu withdrew her gaze. Standing under a tree and looking at the blue sky, the image of a man in a white robe splitting through the clouds with a long sword involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Ripples appeared in her watery eyes. She pinched her palm with her fingertips and told herself that after all, he was the father of Wang Fugui, whose story in "Fox Spirit Matchmaker" was as important as Bai Yuechu's.
Naturally, he was extremely capable and invincible.
Shi Tang said, "Is your sister waiting for someone?"
"Sister, you're so worried. Why don't we go and help him?" Dongfang Qinlan looked at her sister, her eyes rolling around.
She was thinking that it would be a good chance to check out this guy for her sister.
Hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu was stunned. A look of haste flashed across her watery eyes. Was she thinking about that man? She shook her head slightly and said, "No need. He'll be fine."
Dongfang Qinlan raised her eyebrows. "Sister, are you praising him? It's so rare! You rarely praise even your gentle and sweet younger sister recently!"
"Gentle and sweet?"
Thinking of what Dongfang Qinlan had done in the cell just now, Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't help laughing. "It seems I need to find you a new tutor."
Dongfang Qinlan opened her eyes wide in horror. Then she turned around extremely aggrievedly, biting her sleeve and saying pitifully, "Sure enough, a married sister is like spilled water. Once you see a handsome man, you even mock your lovely younger sister... Sob."
"…"
Dongfang Huaizhu pinched Dongfang Qinlan's small ear, squinted her watery eyes and threatened, "If you talk nonsense again, you won't be allowed to buy candied haws in the future!"
Dongfang Qinlan covered her ear and let out a series of sobs.
Seeing this, Dongfang Huaizhu tapped her on the forehead and explained to her, "I've just met him by chance. There's nothing else between us. Don't think too much."
Suddenly, Dongfang Qinlan looked up. "Sister, look! Is that him coming back?"
Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly looked up. Seeing this, Qinlan beside her twitched the corner of her mouth slightly. She covered her mouth with her small hand and snickered. She said she didn't care, but as soon as his name was mentioned, she immediately looked over.
Wang Quan Baoye flew over on his sword and stopped in front of Dongfang Huaizhu. The thin lips under his mask couldn't help curving slightly. His gaze on her gradually softened. "Miss, were you waiting for me?"
"Here's your scabbard. Also..."
Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly opened her watery eyes. She raised her fair hand and a ball of fire spread over the lawn. Her eyes darkened. Poisonous smoke was gathering on the lawn. Obviously, it was poisoned!
"Poison!" Xi Men Chuisha exclaimed.
Wang Quan Baoye smiled faintly. "It seems that the grass roots are used as a medium to spread the poison. It's very well - hidden." Dongfang Huaizhu chimed in, "Although the cultivation is not as high, the technique is more sophisticated than that multi - eyed demon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a hurricane rolled in with poisonous fog.
Wang Quan Baoye and Dongfang Huaizhu glanced at each other. One of them pinched a spell and lifted the sword while the other burned the poison with the fire. Together, they unleashed a golden light.
They directly knocked the little princess of the Southern Region out of the hurricane. She was caught by the panda demon of the Southern Region. She glared angrily at the three people in the sky. "Damn it. They actually came to our Southern Region's territory and bullied us!"
The panda demon said cautiously, "Princess, they're not easy to deal with. Don't be impulsive."
Dongfang Huaizhu glanced at Wang Quan Baoye, but as soon as their eyes met, she quickly averted her gaze as if electrocuted. She touched her ear tip like a person in self - deception and said,
"You... Be careful."
After all, the next person to come was Huan Du Qingtian, the king of poisons. But obviously, Wang Quan Baoye didn't know this. Instead, he misinterpreted her words. His ear tips turned slightly red.
"Thanks for your concern, miss."
Dongfang Huaizhu: …
Concern your sister! I'm warning you!
