Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 614: Thousand-Faced Fox

(1)

He had forgotten how he came to the courtyard. It seemed like it happened a long time ago. He only knew that he still had the letter with him and vaguely remembered that he had come to keep an appointment.

The cold moonlight in the middle of the night shines on this world. All sounds disappear, not even the sound of the wind. There is no temperature around, it is pitch black, only the candlestick in my hand is still swaying with heat.

He felt his palms full of sweat. Even when he was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he had never been so embarrassed: he opened the envelope carefully and picked up the candlestick to read it carefully by its dim light.

"Yes, that's right!" He was so excited that he could hardly contain himself: "It's this time! And this place..."

The flames created an independent area in the darkness, as if once he stepped out of the flames, the world he was familiar with would collapse in an instant and finally fall into chaos.

at this time.

Amidst the chaos, a clear and concrete presence was walking towards the area.

A bright red dress, golden embroidery, mysterious bell sounds, hazy moonlight...

Against a colorful backdrop, Murong Yan suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Master Yuwen, you are here after all?"

The woman's face was covered with lead powder, her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and the color of her lips matched her long skirt.

As bright red as flames.

She took a step back and reentered the chaos of the night.

"Don't go!" Yu Wenxuan picked up the candlestick and chased after him.

The red shadow shuttled back and forth under the dim moon, and she fled into the woods, laughing coldly from time to time. Her light steps left Yu Wenxuan far behind, as if she was dancing freely among the woods.

"Don't... don't go." Yu Wenxuan ran until he could no longer catch up, and leaned against a tree trunk to rest for a while.

"Hey!" Hongying came around from the other side and stood in front of Yu Wenxuan: "You finally caught up."

Yu Wenxuan said, "No way, it was obviously you, Miss Murong, who stopped to wait for me on purpose... So, where are we going?"

"I won't tell you." Hongying took Yu Wenxuan's hand and led him deeper.

Away from the towns and lights.

Yu Wenxuan knew something was wrong, so he suddenly stopped and asked, "Ms. Murong, why are you looking for me? It's not a good idea to keep walking. You should tell me where you are going, right?"

"Murong Yan" suddenly threw herself into Yu Wenxuan's arms like a young girl who had not experienced much of the world, and said with a sly smile, "Of course we are going to elope!"

"Elope?!" Yu Wenxuan was horrified and pushed the other person away. In a panic, the candlestick hit the tree and broke. "You, how can you say such a thing!"

"That's because I like you!" Hong Ying took advantage of the darkness to sneak up on Yu Wenxuan, and then blocked his actions in an inexplicable way: "I've long been disgusted with following Bai Feng. Not only do I have to sleep in the open air every day, but I'm always on the run. This kind of life is really dark and I've had enough!"

Yu Wenxuan smelled a strange fragrance, a scent between flower petals and medicine, and then he felt sweaty all over and just wanted to take off all his clothes.

"I want to run away with you to a seaside where no one knows me. There are piers, fishing villages, beaches, and ships. Every day when the sun sets, I will wait for your ship to return at the pier. We will have a peaceful second half of our lives." "Master Yuwen, if you are willing, kiss me."

"I have told you everything..."

Yu Wenxuan felt that his patience was almost at its limit, but he still covered his face with his hands and replied weakly: "Miss Murong, have you forgotten your child?"

Hongying asked in surprise, "Child? I will find a way to bring her here. Master Yuwen, don't worry."

Yu Wenxuan sneered and continued, "No, you wouldn't, because you don't know Murong Yan has a child. Only the Seven Great Masters of the Taiping Dao knew about this five years ago. Even I only knew about it not long ago. What is your identity? Of course I have no way of knowing."

After that, he sat on the ground leaning against a tree, as if exhausted. "No matter who you are, you've been exposed now. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. Anyway, I won't do anything for you."

Hongying's expression changed immediately and she said, "So she has a child... Old woman, your skin is so useless that you can't even seduce a man who once proposed to you."

Yu Wenxuan closed his eyes and gave up resisting completely.

"Tell me, do you have any last words?" Hongying took out a dagger from her arms, ready to end Yu Wenxuan's life.

Yu Wenxuan said: "I couldn't resist the temptation. I only blame myself for all this."

"You finally saw through me, but, after all, you're just a man." She stuck out her tongue and licked the edge of the blade, saying, "A man may not necessarily lose himself when he sees a beautiful face, but if it's the face he's most familiar with and admires the most, then it's hard to say. Isn't that what a man is?"

She waved the dagger at Yu Wenxuan's face a few times, then put it against his throat: "Goodbye, my Master Yu Wen." When she said this, she was no longer using Murong Yan's voice, it should be her own voice.

——Very young.

In the cover of night, several locust stones followed the sound and accurately hit the wrist of Red Shadow as he wielded the dagger, hitting the acupuncture points and temporarily rendering him unable to exert any strength.

"Who is it!" The red shadow swiftly fled into the woods, but another green figure immediately followed, and the latter's body movements were even better than the red shadow's.

"Of course it's me!" Su Qing stopped him on the road and asked in a relaxed manner, "Isn't this Miss Murong? Why are you dressed like this? You look like a girl performing in a brothel."

"Mr. Su, it's really inappropriate to say such things in front of me!" It was Murong Yan's voice. She and Yu Ke were walking towards them from the other side, holding a lantern, followed by a swordsman.

Su Qing bowed his hands and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, it's rare for me to see such a poor disguise, I can't help but complain! Master Yuwen, you have done a great deed for us to capture the 'Thousand Faces Fox' Hua Ruyi this time, so I won't call you stupid."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of a sword breaking through the air, and Bai Feng appeared with a sword.

"Brother Su, it's time to close the net." As he said this, he approached with sword in hand and easily subdued Hua Ruyi.

In one day, the Bronze Sparrow Tower was destroyed and Hua Ruyi, the leader of the Taiping Dao branch, was captured alive. Bai Feng never thought that things would go so smoothly. However, when they wanted to tear off Hua Ruyi's mask, something unexpected happened.

"The mask can't be taken off?!"

Everyone gathered around Hua Ruyi and looked at her carefully. They asked Yu Ke to try again, groping and pulling from all directions, but still could not remove the "mask".

"Brother, this face seems real!"
