The villain killed the master. What? I am the master!

Minxin's five senses have always been sharp.

She must have smelled a special scent inside the cloak - the sweet smell of honey.

As for other smells, of course they are gone... Jiang He is not that useless.

Just this one detail made the silver-haired girl suspicious - why was there such a strong sweet smell of honey in the cloak?

"Eh? Is Jin'er asleep?"

Feng Susu rode her horse to Jiang He's side, looked at the bulging cloak in front of Jiang He curiously, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently.

The place she touched was Jin'er's head.

"Yeah, fell asleep."

Jiang He coughed lightly, his expression natural.

"After all, the girl gets sleepy easily and falls asleep while sitting on the horse without realizing it. I might as well wrap her in my cloak so that she can sleep more comfortably."

Jiang He didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time. He was secretly worried as he saw the three girls leaning against him.

Feng Yi showed a maternal smile on her face:

"This little sleepyhead, I still want to play with Jin'er. Let me touch her too... Jin'er doesn't like others to touch her when she is awake."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched Jiner's little head.

"Sister, be gentler and don't wake Jin'er up." Feng Susu said dissatisfiedly.

"No, no, no. She was sleeping soundly. Last night, something went wrong with my practice and a magic weapon exploded, but this girl didn't react at all and slept soundly. I was so scared that I thought something had happened."

Feng Yi said with lingering fear.

She has been sleeping with Jin'er these days.

As for Feng Susu, it was because her cultivation progressed too quickly, unlike Feng Yi who was steady and cautious. She had to practice at night to consolidate her realm and had no time to take care of Jiner.

As a result, Jin'er slept like a dead pig last night, and Fengyi thought something had happened to Jin'er.

If something happened to Jin'er, she wouldn't know how to face Jiang He and the others.

Jiang He listened thoughtfully. He met Jin'er in his dream yesterday.

Could it be that this girl also had a nightmare yesterday?

In order to prove that her idea was correct, Feng Yi smiled evilly and pressed Feng Susu's hand, pressing it down slightly:
"Look, even if you use a little force, Jin'er won't wake up—"

hiss……

Jiang He vaguely heard Jin'er's groan, which was the sound coming from Jin'er's throat.

No, not only did Jiang He hear it, he could feel it more.

"Don't press it! Even if Jin'er is sleeping soundly, you can't bully her like this."

Jiang He was horrified and quickly slapped Feng Yi's hand away.

This guy... this press is so intense that it hurts Jin'er.

Cold tears were sprinkled on her legs and the girl was already sobbing secretly in her cloak, but Jin'er was always very well behaved. Even when she was crying, she was still trying hard to lick the honey.

"Eh……"

Feng Yi withdrew his hand awkwardly, scratched his head in embarrassment, and realized that his behavior just now was a bit excessive, and muttered,

"It didn't take much effort, I just... I just wanted my sister to stop making a fuss."

Well, it didn't take much effort.

But you don't even look at what Jin'er is doing.

Oh, she doesn't know, that's okay...

Jiang He looked down at the bulging cloak in front of him and secretly felt lucky that Jin'er was very petite and curled up in the cloak, so no one else could notice anything.

Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined, especially if Xiao Minxin knew about it, then he would be truly known as a pervert.

The girl kept looking at the cloak thoughtfully from time to time. Could it be that she had discovered something wrong?

Jiang He glanced at Xiao Minxin and saw the silver-haired girl frowning slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Um...Jin'er is in there, is she really asleep?"

Xiao Minxin didn't hesitate for long and asked Jiang He directly.

It’s over.

He knew that Xiao Minxin noticed something was wrong.

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Jiang He's forehead, and he saw Feng Yi pinching a corner of his cloak curiously:
"Yeah, that's right. This girl doesn't talk anyway, so maybe she's still awake. It's such a pity for her to just sleep after finally coming out to play. Let me see if she's asleep..."

"Pah." Jiang He slapped Feng Yi's restless little hand in time and said seriously, "I told you not to disturb Jin'er! You little girl, why don't you listen to me?"

Fengyi smiled awkwardly, and because of what happened before, she was too embarrassed to lift her cloak to peek again.

Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that she was clumsy and reckless?

"But if she was asleep...why did it smell like honey? And I heard the sound of water?"

Xiao Minxin didn't know how to describe the sound she heard.

Similar to the subtle sound of a kitten licking milk?

After hearing this, Jiang He hated Min Xin's sharp five senses for the first time. Could he hear this?
But Jiang He has always been very thick-skinned. He remained calm, reached out and held Jin'er's head, pulled out her cloak, revealing only a cute, confused face.

Jiner, she's just eating honey!
The black-haired girl's face was slightly rosy, with some honey still remaining at the corners of her pink lips, flowing down her chin onto her cloak. She was blinking and lowering her head embarrassedly.

"It turns out this girl really didn't sleep."

Jiang He pretended to be angry and knocked on Jin'er's furry head.

"He actually hid in there and ate honey. Master told me to eat less sweets."

His self-righteous demeanor prevented the other girls from noticing his flaws.

Only Xiao Minxin gently reached out her hand, dipped a little syrup from the black-haired girl's lips, put it on the tip of her tongue and sipped it slightly.

Hmm...why is there a salty taste besides sweet?
……

Mengding County.

The bluestone-paved streets glowed with a moist luster in the morning light. Mengding County, which had been washed by heavy rain yesterday, looked like a piece of green jade just out of water, warm and harmonious.

Mengding County is different from the cities that Jianghe once passed through.

There is no bustle of Aoki Castle, no bleakness of Shangqing County, and no tense atmosphere of Shangjing in Da Qi.

It is like a paradise on earth, with people walking slowly and looking relaxed.

Mortals and cultivators get along harmoniously. From time to time, you can see cultivators riding rare and exotic beasts, and you can also see demons with animal characteristics walking openly on the road.

Feng Yi, who had always been well-informed, introduced to Jiang He: "The neutrality of Cangping City is not empty talk. Whether it is the human race or the demon race, they are treated equally within the territory of Cangping City. However, the entire Yan State can only see this scene in Mengding County - Mengding County is the only town of cultivators in the territory of Yan State."

Jiang He watched with great interest.

His eyes swept across the furry ears of a cat girl. After coming to the world of cultivators for so long, this was the first time he saw a demon in human form.

Moreover, she is a girl with animal ears...

The cat girl's ears twitched, and she looked back at Jiang He vigilantly. Obviously she noticed Jiang He's gaze, and she glared at Jiang He angrily, covered her ears, quickened her pace, and ran away from him.

"Uh... Generally speaking, don't look at the characteristics of the demon race that are different from those of humans. This is considered discrimination in the eyes of the demon race."

Feng Yi twitched the corners of her lips. This Jiang He was really an evil man with evil intentions. He even took a fancy to the demon clan?

Although humans and demons are equal in Cangping City, this is just talk.

The human and demon races have been in constant conflict since the era of the immortals, and there are numerous blood feuds between them.

Ever since the Demon Court was destroyed and the demon race weakened, the war between humans and demons has temporarily ceased, but this is because the demon race took the initiative to show weakness, not because both sides want to coexist peacefully.

Therefore, today's human race treats the demon race mostly from the perspective of a superior looking at an inferior, and even with contempt.

In Mengding County, most of the monsters are engaged in low-level occupations.

For example, the cat girl just now, if Fengyi guessed correctly, was most likely a servant of a wealthy family.

"Discrimination? Aren't those cat ears cute..."

Jiang He was a little puzzled. In his previous life on Blue Star, let alone cat ears, even if there were more animal features on the body, there were so many people who liked it. This kind of people seemed to be called Furuikong.

"Huh? You're a pervert, after all! You actually think those disgusting ears are cute?"

Feng Yi looked at Jiang He in disbelief. Even Feng Susu shuddered and covered her mouth in surprise.

How could anyone like those furry ears?

However, Xiao Minxin, who had always been at odds with Jiang He, did not talk back. Instead, she looked at the Feng sisters with dissatisfaction:
"What do you mean? Even though those ears can't be called cute, they shouldn't be so disgusting! And what did the demon tribe do to you?"

As she spoke, she secretly touched the two crystal little dragon horns buried in her silver hair.

snort!
You know, she can barely be called a demon, and there are still some characteristics different from humans on her body.

Feng Yi smiled awkwardly: "Oh, Minxin, you are different from them. Among the human race, your race is regarded as auspicious."

"Eh? Jiang He, why is Jin Er's face so pale?"

While the two girls were arguing, Feng Susu came to Jiang He and touched the black-haired girl's forehead worriedly. It felt icy cold.

Jin'er's body has always been warm, and she rarely feels cold like today.

The black-haired girl pouted in grievance, tilted her little face up, and looked at the man with complicated eyes.

Jiang He calmly wrapped Jin'er tighter with his cloak.

This is not because of the previous obsession...

As a result, until now when they arrived in the county town, Jiang He had no chance to put clothes on Jin'er again.

Therefore, it is normal for the girl to be nervous now.

Thinking of this, Jiang He felt extremely guilty. He reached his hand into his cloak and felt Jin'er's chest carefully.

The girl's heart was pounding, but fortunately her body was still warm, and only her little face exposed to the wind was cold.

Jiang He felt relieved upon seeing this, and immediately struck while the iron was hot and rubbed Jin'er until it was warm.

Soon, Feng Susu's amber eyes opened wide:
"Eh? Jin'er's face has turned red again. Jiang He, are you transferring spiritual power to Jin'er?"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan. Let Susu experience it in the future."

Seeing the black-haired girl's hot face and watery eyes, Jiang He nodded with satisfaction.

However, I still have to find an opportunity to help Jiner put on her clothes.

Jiang He looked back and forth on the street for a while, and suddenly, his expression was stunned:
"Susu, that girl is..."

Not far away, an ordinary mortal girl was walking with difficulty, carrying a large pile of herbs on her back.

The weight of herbs behind her was far beyond what a girl of her size could bear.

But the people around her were not surprised by this. Apparently, this was a very normal thing in Mengding County.

"Strange... In the seemingly harmonious and natural Mengding County, how could there be a girl of this age doing strenuous labor?"

Jiang He muttered.

Mengding County has no shortage of cultivators and strong warriors, but a mortal girl of this age cannot move many herbs, and her efficiency is extremely low.

What made Jiang He feel uneasy was that this girl looked vaguely familiar.

Feng Susu followed his gaze and her eyelids twitched:
"Wait, Jiang He, isn't this the girl we rescued from the Phoenix Clan before? Why is she here?"

The girl rescued from the Phoenix Clan?
After Feng Susu said this, Jiang He had an impression.

In the past, Feng Susu's elder brother and others killed a family and attempted to insult the family's young daughter. Later, Jiang He took action, killed the Feng clan and others, and rescued the family's daughter.

Just two years passed in the blink of an eye. As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. Girls of this age grow up very fast. At first glance, Jiang He didn't recognize her as the girl from the past.

But the question is, did he ever ask Song Sheng to find a family to adopt her?
Then how did you get from Hezhou to Pingzhou?

The journey is so long that an ordinary mortal could not reach it in a lifetime!

Jiang He and Feng Susu looked at each other, said something to Feng Yi, and then they chased after the girl at the same time.

But the girl had already entered a roadside medicine shop carrying the herbs.

"Danxin Pavilion is closed today. Please come back another day."

In front of the medicine shop, a guard in black tights stood by with his arms crossed. This man was about forty years old, with a calm aura, and was obviously in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly. Back then, with his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi Refining, he was still able to get a job as a guard in the Zhao Family's ancestral mansion despite all the criticisms.

The guard in front of him has a higher level of cultivation, but he is here guarding the door of the shop, which shows the profound foundation of Danxin Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist, please allow me to report. I clearly saw someone enter just now."

Jiang He bowed politely. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he couldn't just kill the guard and force his way in Mengding County at this moment.

At the same time, he quietly released a trace of Foundation Establishment Realm pressure, and patiently explained to the guards,

"I have just arrived in Mengding County with my Taoist companions, and I urgently need to purchase the Yuan-strengthening elixir. If this violates the rules of your pavilion, I hope you can give me some advice."

The guard had originally frowned, but his expression changed drastically the moment he sensed the pressure from the foundation-building master, and he immediately bowed in return:

"Please forgive me, Senior! I didn't know you were a foundation-building cultivator. The one who just came in was our medicine boy. As for today, the Ye family's special envoy happened to be auditing the accounts, so we closed the door to visitors. I hope you will forgive me."

Although his tone was respectful, his body was as still as iron, and the dark embroidery of the Ye family crest was faintly visible on his black cuffs. (End of this chapter)
