Xiang Xueer kept waving her hands in mid-air. Seeing this, Li Yunyang quickly grabbed her and looked at her pale face with concern, "Are you okay?"
Did she wake up from the dream? Xiang Xueer suddenly sat up, reached up to touch her forehead drenched in cold sweat, took a deep breath, turned to look at Li Yunyang's terrified expression, and shook her head, "I'm fine. I just had a nightmare!"
Li Yunyang relaxed after hearing this, "You scared me! I was dozing off by the bed when I suddenly felt someone hit my head. When I opened my eyes, I found you there going crazy with your eyes closed!"
"You're the crazy one!" Xiang Xueer recalled the nightmare and still felt a bit scared. What was that beast in the Ancient Tower? It was terrifying, and it seemed to be able to probe into my thoughts. Could it be the Heart Demon?
Xiang Xueer suddenly remembered that Heart Demon that could manipulate people's hearts. However, ever since she came out of Illusion City last time, she hadn't seen that guy again. How could it suddenly appear in her dream?
And those words the Heart Demon said were truly baffling—something about the Demon Lord and the Ancient Tower. Just thinking about all this made her head hurt. While she was lost in thought, Li Yunyang reached out to touch her forehead and smiled, "Great! Your fever has finally gone down!"
It seemed that it was because of the medicine she took last night and the sweat she had released. Xiang Xueer felt her body gradually becoming lighter. She turned to look at Li Yunyang for a long time; her eyes were red from lack of sleep. She awkwardly huffed, "Thanks!"
"Ah?" Li Yunyang widened his eyes in astonishment as he looked at her face. Oh my god, this girl actually thanked him just now! He pinched his ears hard and exclaimed, "What... what did you just say? I didn't hear you; could you please say it again?"
Xiang Xueer, annoyed, closed her eyes and grabbed a pillow from the bed to smack him on the forehead, "I said hurry up and go get me some bathwater, you idiot!"
"Oh!" Li Yunyang turned around and walked outside while secretly laughing. He clearly heard her; although her voice was small, she did say thank you.
Before long, the bathwater was ready. Xiang Xueer comfortably took off her clothes and jumped into the water. After a night of feverish heat, soaking in the bath made her feel completely relaxed.
She plunged into the water and let out a few bubbles. Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the tragedy that happened in Misty Forest and what that blank memory was all about.
Meanwhile, outside the inn, Lan Ran Qingtian was in the courtyard staring blankly at Xiang Xueer's firearm on the table. He picked up the AK-47 and examined it closely for a long time, "What kind of weapon is this? Why does it look like this? Could it be a hidden weapon?"
He fiddled for a long time, squinting as he peered into the gun's muzzle. Just then, Li Yunyang walked over and saw him staring down the barrel, saying, "If I were you, I wouldn't point a gun at myself!"
This was something Xiang Xueer had warned herself about earlier. Qingtian heard the voice and turned to look at Li Yunyang, asking, "What kind of hidden weapon is this? I've never seen it before!"
Li Yunyang snorted, wearing a smug expression, and said, "This is called an AK-47. My wife had it custom-made by Fire King. Don't be fooled by its appearance; it's actually very lethal. You'd better not touch it!"
"Oh, so it's made by Fire King?" Lan Ran Qingtian became even more interested upon hearing the name. He pressed his finger on the trigger, and with a 'click,' the hidden weapon activated, startling him so much that he threw the gun away.
Qingtian accidentally pulled the trigger, and with a 'bang!' the AK-47 discharged. A bullet shot out of the chamber and flew straight toward Xiang Xueer's room.
Xiang Xueer was soaking in a wooden tub when suddenly a bullet shot through the window, hitting her tub with a loud 'bang.' A large hole was blasted in the bottom of the tub, and water began to pour out from the hole with a splash.
"Ah!" She was startled and quickly jumped out of the tub. Before she could react, outside Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian heard her scream and rushed in through the door.
"What happened? What's going on?" They entered one after another and found Xiang Xueer standing next to the tub completely naked. Her smooth and delicate skin and her slender waist resembled a blooming lotus flower. Her wet hair partially concealed her body, with droplets glistening as they fell from her strands, enough to captivate any normal man's soul.
The two stared wide-eyed at her exposed body. Flustered, she quickly covered herself and hid behind the tub, shouting angrily, "Don't look! Get out!"
Immediately after, two shoes flew toward them, hitting Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian squarely on their foreheads. They burst through the door only to see this scene; their faces turned as red as monkey bottoms as they hurriedly closed the door and ran out.
Although Xiang Xueer wasn't particularly shy about relationships between men and women, being seen completely naked was still quite embarrassing—especially being seen by two people at once.
Taking a deep breath, she reached into the tub and felt around until she found a silver bullet on the other side. Fortunately, it had missed her; otherwise, she would have been done for. Angrily, she cursed, "Those two idiots!"
At the entrance resembling a sculpture, Li Yunyang and Qingtian stood frozen. This innocent young man was witnessing a woman's body for the first time and had not yet recovered from the earlier embarrassment. After a moment, Li Yunyang turned to glare at Lan Ran Qingtian, saying, "Hey, you saw that, didn't you?"
Qingtian rubbed his forehead, blushing as he replied, "Didn't you see it too? Why are you glaring at me?"
"I can look; you can't!" Li Yunyang gritted his teeth and shouted, "She is my wife. You better forget about it quickly, or I will definitely gouge out your eyes!"
"Hmph!" Li Yunyang turned red and stormed off, leaving Lan Ran Qingtian to sigh heavily, "What is this all about? If I had known, I wouldn't have played that game 'Aik 47'; it really is a hidden weapon!"
Xiang Xueer quickly got dressed, realizing it was time for the third hunt for Taotie. The Illusory Forest would inevitably require another entry. She silently resolved that this time, she must eliminate that troublesome Taotie; otherwise, she would have no face to live in this world. Even if she died, she wouldn't have the courage to meet that girl named Xiaocui in the Underworld.
"Are you ready?" Xiang Xueer looked at Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian in the courtyard. The two had already prepared everything and turned to her with determined expressions: "We’ve been ready for a long time; we were just waiting for you!"
She nodded, securing the gun and crossbow from the table onto her back. With a push, she opened the inn's door: "Taotie, wash your neck and wait for death!"
This time, they chose to enter the Misty Forest during the day. Everything seemed calm compared to the dark night forest, indeed lacking many lurking dangers.
"This is it!" Xiang Xueer arrived again at the cave entrance, pointing at the dark opening beneath the towering mountains. "This is Taotie's kitchen; you should have been here before!"
"Yes! We came last time to find you... and you had already escaped!" Li Yunyang said. After exchanging glances with each other, the three lit their torches and walked toward the cave.
A chill mountain breeze swept through, carrying a hint of blood in the air. Xiang Xueer covered her nose with her hand and couldn't help but recall everything that had happened in this cave before, including Xiaocui's death.
