"Shut up and behave yourself. If you keep yelling, I'll send you to meet Yan Wang with a single sword strike!"
"Let me go! You Dead Girl!" Li Yunyang struggled desperately against the ground, shouting in panic. Xiang Xueer raised her sword and made a cross-shaped cut over the wound that was oozing black blood. Then she pressed down hard to squeeze out the black blood until it turned red, clearing most of the toxins from his body.
"Hmm?" Li Yunyang frowned as he looked at the scars on his arm. His body gradually began to recover, and the dazed feeling in his nerves seemed to be fading away.
"What happened to my body? It felt so strange. What is this black liquid? Did I get poisoned?" Li Yunyang touched his lips and suddenly remembered what he had done to Xiang Xueer earlier. His face turned completely red as he waved his hands vigorously, "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I was a bit out of my mind and didn't know what I was doing!"
Finally awake, Xiang Xueer raised an eyebrow and glared at Li Yunyang's face, a mischievous thought bubbling up inside her: "Oh? So you remember? What are we going to do about it? You hugged me earlier; are you going to take responsibility?"
"Ah?" Li Yunyang's eyes widened in shock, and his face turned beet red. After swallowing hard a few times, he said seriously, "Okay, I will take responsibility. Once I find my master and report to him, I will marry you!"
"Pfft!" Xiang Xueer almost burst out laughing. It turned out that ancient people really did think that touching hands meant marriage. She returned the Azure Dragon Sword to Li Yunyang and turned to leave, saying, "Alright, I was just joking. I'm not interested in little men. Bye!"
"Hey, wait!" Li Yunyang quickly sheathed his sword and followed her closely. "Hey, little girl, don't go! I'm serious; I will take responsibility!"
"You don't need to!" Xiang Xueer walked into the town without looking back and waved her hand dismissively. "And stop calling me little girl; I’m not one!"
Li Yunyang hurried after her for a couple of steps, still walking beside her. Looking at the family crest on her arm, he asked, "So what’s your name? From your crest, you should be an Exorcist from the Ouyang Clan, right?"
Xiang Xueer felt annoyed at the mention of Ouyang: "What nonsense! My name is Xiang Xueer! I'm not some useless Ouyang Jiaorong!"
"Oh, Xiang Xueer!" Li Yunyang rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a moment, his face flushing again before nodding. "Then I'll call you Shirley."
Huh? Xiang Xueer turned around and glared at his silly face. This guy really was too familiar too quickly. As she spoke, she had already returned to Mist Village. It was now dawn, and looking at the bustling crowd in the market, she was quite surprised: "There wasn't a single person here last night; how come everyone is here this morning as if nothing happened?"
"I have been at this market for several days just to deal with that Incubus!" Li Yunyang looked around the entire village. "That Incubus is very powerful; it can release mist at midnight, making everyone in the village drowsy. This way, it can sneak into the villagers' homes and steal the young girls inside to absorb their essence."
So that's how it is, Xiang Xueer finally understood. No wonder there was no one in the entire village last night. She rubbed her stomach, feeling a bit hungry, and found a noodle shop by the roadside. She ordered a bowl of noodles, and Li Yunyang was sitting next to her, showing no signs of leaving.
"Hey, I said that if the Incubus is dealt with, why are you still following me?" Xiang Xueer glared at Li Yunyang while eating her noodles. The little brat had been staring at her for a long time, resting his chin on one hand. "Hmm, I was thinking that if my master saw you, he would definitely be unhappy!"
"Huh?" Xiang Xueer stared at Li Yunyang in confusion. "What do you mean by that? Why would your master be unhappy with me?"
Li Yunyang pouted and looked Xiang Xueer up and down. "My master says that when choosing a wife, one should prioritize virtue. Even if she lacks beauty, it's fine. But you have neither beauty nor virtue; he would definitely be dissatisfied!"
"Pfft!" Xiang Xueer sprayed noodle soup all over Li Yunyang's face. Damn it, this was her first time out in the world, and she encountered such a person.
Fine, even if I'm flat-chested and not ladylike, my face isn't exactly embarrassing, right? This little brat made her feel an impulse to slap him. "If I had known, I would have let you fend for yourself last night!"
Li Yunyang wiped the noodle soup off his face and immediately scowled at her. "You really aren't likable at all; marrying you would be a public service!"
"Who needs you to marry me! Don't get ahead of yourself!" Xiang Xueer slammed her palm on the table and shot Li Yunyang a fierce glare before turning to leave. "Don't follow me; I'm going to Sky Beyond Mountain. I don't have time to waste with you!"
"Sky Beyond Mountain?" Upon hearing those three words, Li Yunyang grabbed Xiang Xueer's arm. "Wait a minute! You said you're going to Sky Beyond Mountain? Do you know the way?"
Xiang Xueer reached out to pinch his hand holding her arm and cursed, "I know the way; what does it matter to you? Let go of your claws!"
Li Yunyang's face instantly lit up with a smile. "Great! I'm also heading to Sky Beyond Mountain. I've been asking around; someone said they saw my master there! I was worried I didn't know the way!"
"Isn't this ridiculous?" Xiang Xueer thought, her face darkening. For an entire day, this guy had been following her around. Was he serious? Lone Wolf was used to being alone and didn't like anyone trailing him, but he just couldn't shake off this clingy person. It was driving him crazy.
Xiang Xueer quickened her pace, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly spotted a sign on a shop that had the character for 'bath' written on it. Oh, could it be an ancient version of a sauna? Hehe, this might be a way to lose him!
She decisively pushed aside the curtain and walked in. Inside, a small Shopkeeper was sitting there. Upon seeing Xiang Xueer enter, he quickly smiled and said, "Miss, are you here for a bath? Come, come! We have a special offer right now: buy one get one free!"
Buy one get one free? Xiang Xueer watched as he shaped a white, sticky substance into a round form. She wrinkled her nose and asked, "Wow, what is this? It looks disgusting!"
"Soap Pod? You don't know?" The Shopkeeper looked at Xiang Xueer with disdain, took the silver from her hand, and pointed to the door on the right marked for women: "Just go in there!"
Soap Pod? Ugh, ancient times really were lacking; they didn't even have shower gel. How low-class! Xiang Xueer glanced back at the persistent Li Yunyang who was hot on her heels and quickly turned into the bathhouse.
"Hey, wait! Where are you going?" Li Yunyang rushed in after her. As he saw Xiang Xueer slip through the door and prepared to follow, he was stopped by the Shopkeeper at the entrance: "Stop right there! This is a women's bathhouse; men are not allowed in."
"A bathhouse?" Li Yunyang halted in his tracks. This little girl had actually ducked into a bathhouse to escape him. Furious, he plopped down on a nearby bench: "I'll wait right here for you. If you can, stay inside the bathhouse and don't come out!"
"Hmph!" Xiang Xueer peeked out from behind the door and smiled as she walked into the bathhouse. Inside was filled with steam and featured a large bathing pool where several naked women were soaking. It seemed quite nice. After enjoying a relaxing soak, she pushed open the back door and slipped out.
With my counter-surveillance skills, that fool Li Yunyang thinks he can follow me? He still has a long way to go. Xiang Xueer happily continued on her way.
Meanwhile, after waiting at the entrance of the women's bathhouse for what felt like an eternity, Li Yunyang could no longer contain himself. It had been two hours already; this Dead Girl still hadn't come out. He stood up abruptly and kicked open the door to the women's bathhouse before charging inside.
