One day, evil demons appeared in a certain town, harming countless people. Many villagers in the town came to the Liuxian Sect for help.
"Daoist masters, please help us get rid of those evil demons. They have harmed so many people. Now everyone in the town is in a panic. People don't even dare to go out during the daytime..."
The Liuxian Sect had always taken it as its mission to exorcise demons and cultivate the right path. Since the villagers here had come to ask for help one after another, Liu Yun, the master of the sect, naturally couldn't just sit by and do nothing.
"Folks, rest assured. Our Liuxian Sect will send our disciples to help you get rid of the evil demons and protect your peace."
The task was received. The next question was who to send to the town to exorcise the demons.
Liu Yun looked at the inner - sect disciples in front of him. His gaze lingered on Yun Xi and Kong Ze.
After a while, Liu Yun spoke in a cold voice, "Yun Xi, Kong Ze, you two are inner - sect disciples and have practiced for many years. Exorcising the demons here is also a rare opportunity for practice. Which one of you is willing to take on this task and lead a few outer - sect junior brothers there?"
Hearing this, Yun Xi turned to look at her third senior brother. "Third senior brother, although we've practiced for about the same amount of time, you know my capabilities. Please take on this glorious task!"
"Precisely because you're lazy and don't practice hard on weekdays, this rare practice opportunity should be left to you, little junior sister. Only by experiencing trials can you grow, right?"
"Third senior brother..." Feng Yun Xi secretly pinched her thigh. The pain made her eyes turn red. She looked at Kong Ze and Liu Yun tearfully. "Master, can you really trust me to lead the team alone? If I can't defeat the evil demons, I may never come back..."
"Are you willing to watch the first lucky mascot of our Liuxian Sect fall? Although I, Yun Xi, as the face and lucky mascot of the Liuxian Sect, really want to help the villagers, I also know I don't have the ability. How can I take on this difficult task?"
Liu Yun looked at the aggrieved disciple in front of him. He shook his head helplessly but lovingly. "Alright, Kong Ze, you'll be the main leader of this operation, and Yun Xi will also go with you for practice."
On the way to the town.
Feng Yun Xi was holding Xiao Ling. When the two of them finished the last sesame cake, they looked at Kong Ze eagerly.
"Third senior brother, Xiao Ling and I are hungry..."
"You two gluttons! You've been eating non - stop all the way..."
"Third senior brother... Is having a big appetite a mistake?"
Kong Ze waved his hand helplessly. "Endure it. We'll be in the town soon. We'll eat when we get there."
"Gurgle... Gurgle..."
The stomachs of Feng Yun Xi and Xiao Ling let out clear growls.
Kong Ze: "…Fine. Let's take a break here for a while. I'll go catch fish for you, my lady!"
Kong Ze turned around and walked towards the stream. Just as he reached the river, he saw a seriously injured young woman lying by the river.
"Save, save me..." The woman was gasping for breath. Kong Ze immediately ran over, helped her up, and channeled his spiritual energy into her.
The woman slowly opened her eyes. There was a cluster of golden red flower ornaments on her forehead. Her hair was as black as ink, her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her red lips were extremely charming. She was extremely beautiful.
The moment their eyes met, Kong Ze's mind went blank, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"Miss, why are you here?"
The woman slowly said, "I came here to pick wild fruits. I accidentally stepped on the air and slipped down, then passed out."
As she spoke, the woman stood up from Kong Ze's arms. Her steps were still a bit unsteady, and her slender waist was so thin that it could be easily grasped. "Thank you, sir, for saving me."
"It's just a small deed." Seeing that she couldn't stand steadily, Kong Ze walked in front of her and bent down. "Miss, where is your home? If you don't mind, I can carry you back."
"In that case, thank you, sir."
The woman was a bit shy. She carefully climbed onto his back. "Sir, your attire looks like that of a cultivator. May I ask where you practice?"
The moment the woman climbed onto his back, Kong Ze smelled a faint fragrance of flowers and the warmth of her skin. His face immediately turned red.
"Miss, you're really smart. I'm Kong Ze, an inner - sect disciple of the Liuxian Sect."
"The Liuxian Sect..." The woman smiled charmingly. "I'll remember it."
"Please, sir, pass through this forest. My home is nearby..."
Kong Ze quickly nodded. "Okay!"
On this side, the hungry Yun Xi and Xiao Ling propped their chins and looked eagerly in the direction of the stream.
"Why hasn't senior brother come back yet..."
"Don't tell me something happened to him?"
Yun Xi and a few outer - sect junior brothers were worried that something might have happened to Kong Ze. So they got up and walked towards the stream, shouting, "Third senior brother, where are you..."
At this moment, Kong Ze was carrying the woman into the forest. The more he walked, the lighter the weight on his back felt. "May I ask your name, miss?"
"My name is Xi Yao. Sir, you must remember it."
The fragrance of flowers lingering around his nose became stronger and stronger. Kong Ze felt like he was floating in the air. Just then, he suddenly heard a familiar shout, "Third senior brother!"
Kong Ze suddenly came to his senses. He turned around and saw his little junior sister and a few junior brothers coming over.
"Third senior brother, what are you doing in this forest? Picking fruits?"
Yun Xi looked at him in confusion.
"I met an injured woman and was about to send her back."
"Woman? Where is she?"
"Huh?"
Kong Ze only then realized that the woman who had been on his back just now had disappeared! He quickly looked around, but there was no sign of the woman.
Yun Xi couldn't help but tease, "Third senior brother, have you been single for too long and started having such illusions?
"For the sake of our good relationship, I'll definitely ask master to post a notice for you to find a partner when we get back..."
Kong Ze gave Feng Yun Xi a disdainful look. "What illusions! There really was a woman just now..."
Just then, a sword light flashed. Everyone turned to look. After seeing who it was, Feng Yun Xi's face lit up. "Senior brother! Weren't you out for practice? When did you come back?! I've missed you so much!"
The senior brother, Fang Si, looked at Feng Yun Xi with a worried expression. "I'm not back. I met the Demon Princess on the way. The Demon Princess has a strange and tricky personality and is very difficult to deal with. She stole the treasure guarded by another sect. I was ordered to track her down. After a fight with her, she fell from the clouds. I searched all the way and found this place, but I didn't see any trace of her."
Feng Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat. "The Demon Princess?"
The senior brother, Fang Si, nodded. "Yes, Yun Xi, Kong Ze, have any of you seen any suspicious people around?"
Feng Yun Xi shook her head. "No, I haven't seen any suspicious people."
Speaking of this, Feng Yun Xi paused. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she turned to look at Kong Ze beside her. "Hey, third senior brother, didn't you just say you saw an injured young woman? Could that person be... the Demon Princess?!"
Hearing this, Kong Ze trembled all over. He carefully recalled what had just happened. Could that woman...
Fang Si looked at Kong Ze. "Where is the woman you mentioned now? Did she say anything to you?"
"I, I don't know what's going on. The woman suddenly disappeared. She only said her name was Xi Yao... She didn't say anything else."
Fang Si's face showed a look of surprise. "Xi Yao?! The Demon Princess's name is indeed this. It must be her!"
Feng Yun Xi raised her eyebrows playfully and looked at Kong Ze. "Third senior brother, you're amazing. After being single for so many years, you finally had a romantic encounter, and it's actually with a Demon Princess! You're really capable and promising!"
