Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 79 Suzaku's Hard Life

They both had their own thoughts, but neither of them said it out loud.

Song Xinci felt that Yun Yi's cultivation was low, and since she herself hadn't fully recovered yet, she didn't want to put him in danger for the time being. Previously, when she was in the Fuyao Sect, she had fed the Tongxin Gu to Yun Yi in a moment of desperation, and she wasn't sure if anyone would recognize the insect.

Once the news that the two lives are linked gets out, there will probably be more trouble.

Yun Yi simply felt that no one would believe his thoughts even if he expressed them. Futian Pavilion had just begun to show its prowess, and he couldn't put all the blame on them.

The two of them suddenly stopped talking, and their five senses seemed to be amplified. Not only could they smell each other, but even their heartbeats became clearer.

Yun Yi looked at Song Xinci with a smile, but received a roll of the eyes in return.

He smiled and said, "It seems that the journey has been relatively peaceful?"

Song Xinci said, "I'm afraid some people are secretly accumulating strength."

"That makes sense, but since they don't plan to come here one by one to die, I might as well take a break first."

After saying that, Yun Yi casually lay down on the couch and began to rest with his eyes closed. Song Xinci wanted to kick him out, but then she thought about how much Yun Yi had experienced in the past few days and how he had hardly had a good rest, so she gave up the idea.

It seemed that the two of them being in the same room together and setting up a barrier to prevent others from eavesdropping was too ambiguous. So Song Xinci removed the barrier and opened the window to watch the scenery outside.

Although Feiyunma's speed is not as fast as flying with a sword, its speed is not slow when running at full speed.

As the breeze blew on her face, Song Xinci couldn't help but glance at Yun Yi, thinking that she seemed to have gotten used to his presence, unlike before when she would feel irritated and unbearable whenever a member of the opposite sex appeared around her.

Over the years, she has become accustomed to being alone. At most, she has Zhuque to take care of her, and there will be no man around.

But Yun Yi is a different person. He has unknowingly entered Song Xinci's life.

"Oh." This made Song Xinci a little confused, and she didn't know how to treat him in the future.

She thought, it would be great if Suzaku was here, she was best at dealing with men.

……

At the same time, in Crescent City.

Zhuque is wandering around the city, looking for the missing Nangong Zhuozhuo.

She still covered her face with a red veil, but the fatigue in her eyes was clearly visible, as if all her energy had been drained away during this period of time and she had become a walking corpse.

Only God knows how she spent these days!
Although Nangong Zhuozhuo is hundreds of years old, he still has the heart of a child. As soon as he entered the city, he started wandering around. In the twelve hours of a day, he spent three hours each on eating, drinking and having fun.

Zhuque had the energy to play around with her at first, but after a few days, he lost the energy. Nangong Zhuozhuo, on the other hand, seemed to have boundless energy, finding everything curious and interesting and determined to explore it.

He is simply a devil!
Poor Suzaku waited for a long time but Yun Yi never arrived, only receiving a message talisman. She learned about Yun Yi's recent situation from it and planned to send Nangong Zhuozhuo to Fuyao Sect so that she could be free.

Who would have thought that Crescent City would just close its gates and impose a complete blockade, with no one below the Return to Void Realm allowed to enter or leave. Even if you were in the Return to Void Realm, you had to see the City Lord Ye Ling before you could enter or leave.

Even worse, although Crescent City was sealed off, the city's entertainment facilities remained open, and instead were bustling with people. Nangong Zhuozhuo hadn't had enough fun yet, and she didn't want to leave the city. Instead, she spent the entire day in various entertainment venues.

At first, it was just taverns and markets, but later, simple shopping could no longer satisfy her, and she actually set her sights on brothels and gambling houses.

As a result, Nangong Zhuozhuo, whose mind was as clean as a sheet of paper, quickly learned a lot of random things. Zhuque couldn't stand it any longer and tried to persuade her to be more honest, but unexpectedly, the two of them had a big fight over it.

After that, Nangong Zhuozhuo often disappeared, and her cultivation was higher than Zhuque's. Zhuque had no way to deal with her, and any tricks he tried to do were all seen through by her.

Nangong Zhuozhuo, a spirit who had cultivated for thousands of years, quickly became a cunning and cunning person once exposed to the human world. Moreover, every time she ventured out, she would inevitably cause trouble, forcing Zhuque to spend money to ward off the disaster. Zhuque was helpless and could only go out again and again to search for the girl. Occasionally, he would find Nangong Zhuozhuo by the river, learning to fish and befriending a group of old men.

Occasionally, I would find her in a small shop selling spiritual plants, teaching the shop owners how to care for flowers and plants. It seemed like they got along very well, and I almost wanted to become sworn sisters on the spot.

She seldom went to places like gambling houses, mainly because her cultivation was too high and she won nine out of ten times. The shop owner had no choice but to personally ask the giant Buddha to leave.

Now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems that the only places in the entire Crescent City that she has not visited are the City Lord's Mansion and the brothel.

Nangong Zhuozhuo's disappearance time is getting longer and longer each time. This time he has been gone for a day and a night.

After searching for a while without any results, Zhuque angrily went to a restaurant and ordered a table full of delicious food, intending to reward himself.

Who told you to sneak out? All these delicious food and drinks can only be enjoyed by me!

While she was eating, she heard the guests at the next table chatting.

"The city has been under lockdown for over ten days. When will it end?"

"Hush, I heard there are spies from Da Yan in the city, and the City Lord's Mansion is searching for them."

"You said that several days ago. You don't say that anymore."

"Then tell me why!"

"Ahem..." The drunkard lowered his voice, but unfortunately Zhuque was a cultivator and could still hear everything clearly.

The man winked and said, "The city lord is looking for a marriage for his daughter. Have you heard?"

Another person sighed, "What's the point of hearing that? Could it be that City Lord Ye still likes me?"

"Who told you this? I was saying that Miss Ye didn't want to get married, so she ran away secretly."

"Hiss, you mean Ye Nianyi slipped out?!"

"Keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid of attracting people from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Zhuque frowned slightly, put down his chopsticks, and listened attentively to the gossip.

Ye Nianyi is the only daughter of the city lord Ye Ling. She has been deeply loved since childhood and has an extraordinary talent for cultivation. Even the Zhengqi Sect wanted to accept her as a disciple.

As for why this plan didn't work out, it was because Ye Nianyi was born with a strange disease that dried up her heart meridians, and she was predicted not to live past the age of 29. Furthermore, this disease was inherited from her mother, and the City Lord's Mansion had searched for a cure for many years but could not find one.

Therefore, Ye Ling doted on his daughter even more. Many forces regarded Ye Nianyi as Ye Ling's lifeline, and they plotted against the little girl openly and secretly.

Take Ye Nianyi's marriage as an example. Everyone knows that she is only sixteen years old and has only two years left to live, but there are still people who come to propose marriage to her, including some royal nobles with extraordinary status.

It was because Ye Ling once said that as long as there was someone who was in love with his daughter and was willing to let her live a peaceful and happy life, he would treat his son-in-law as his own son and raise him.

So these people who came to propose marriage actually came for Ye Ling. To put it bluntly, they were attracted by the wealth and power of Crescent City, as well as the half tiger talisman in the hands of the city lord.

As for how long Ye Nianyi can live, they don't care.

After hearing this, Zhuque had a bad feeling that Crescent City might be in big trouble and the city gates would not be opened for a while.

Wouldn't that mean Nangong Zhuozhuo would torture me for many more days? !

Gods and Buddhas, who can save me?
