I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

"Junior brother, what do you think that fox demon is? I heard my father say that after cultivating to the Innate Realm, the Yin Spirit leaves the body and can see the world we can't see. At that time, no amount of disguise or concealment can hide from the Yin Spirit. He even managed to fool Senior Yan and has been hiding in Qingzhou City. He's not simple! Hey? Do you think it's possible that this fox demon is a thousand-year-old demon? My father killed one back then, and I've heard him talk about it every year. If we can capture it, I can brag about it to him when we get back..."

Zhou Qingyun's enthusiastic voice filled my ears.

Yes, full of enthusiasm.

After hearing the story, this girl was like she'd been given a shot of adrenaline, chattering on and on.

They have already left the Shi family ancestral hall. Tonight, the fox demon, having been ambushed, is hesitant to act rashly and should not return.

Shi Lou told the two of them to go back first.

Zhou Qingyun's mouth never stopped moving along the way.

However, what she said makes sense.

This fox demon is indeed a ruthless character.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ximen Qing went to see the battlefield.

The entire Changting Village is not large; the surrounding walls and peach wood fences are clearly visible.

It has been almost completely demolished.

There were also some mysterious runes buried underground nearby. According to Zhou Qingyun, those should be the ancestral formations of the Shi family.

Ximen Qing didn't know how useful this thing was, but looking at the fortress wall that had almost been knocked over, he had already imagined himself being sent flying.

Wow, what a stroke of luck! ~.jpg

"What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Get some rest today, in case you have to keep watch tomorrow. By the way, Junior Sister, how long will it take for your paper crane to reach Laoshan?"

Ximen Qing suddenly turned to look at Zhou Qingyun and asked.

"Oh, it'll take three days if it's fast, but no more than five days if it's slow. Qingzhou is quite close to Laoshan. What's wrong?" Zhou Qingyun asked, looking at him.

"It's nothing, I just asked casually."

Ximen Qing nodded.

As they spoke, they had already returned to the courtyard.

At this moment, the courtyard is brightly lit.

Simon Da, accompanied by a dozen burly servants carrying torches, stood guard around them.

They protected Nie Xiaoqian, Cui Ji, and Chunmei, especially Nie Xiaoqian.

Because Ximen Da remembered that Ximen Qing had told him before that the woman the crow spirit of Black Wind Village wanted to take away was Nie Xiaoqian, he paid extra attention to it.

Seeing the two return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask:

"What happened?"

"It's a long story, but we may really need to stay here for a while. We probably won't be able to get into Qingzhou City."

Ximen Qing addressed everyone.

"If you ask me, that's a good idea. We're unfamiliar with this place, and if we rush in, it might cause trouble. It's better to wait until things settle down before going."

At this moment, Cui Ji couldn't help but look at Ximen Qing and say something.

"That makes sense, but Changting Village isn't safe either. Here's what we'll do: Steward, starting today, arrange for people to keep watch at night!"

Simon gave a few instructions and then dismissed everyone.

He then pulled Ximen Qing back into the room.

"Son, are you really alright? The commotion just now didn't seem like something an ordinary monster could make!"

Simonda was a worldly man; he knew this matter was definitely significant.

"It's definitely not an ordinary monster, but it's already been targeted by Judge Yan and is just waiting for him to return from Mount Tai. Right now, it's just struggling in its death throes! Father, I have an idea. Why don't we buy a place outside the city and build a fortified village?"

Ximen Qing looked at his father and made a suggestion.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"You see, when we lived in Guobei County, every little thing we did was watched by countless eyes. Moreover, the city is a mixed bag; who knows if there aren't people like the Naked Cult? Now, it's best for us to keep a low profile. Why don't we build a manor outside the city? That way, we can attack or retreat as needed?"

After Ximen Qing finished speaking, Ximen Da in front of him also pondered for a long time.

It must be said that this suggestion is very constructive.

Moreover, Ximen Qing had long wanted to have his own little world.

In the future, he will definitely draw out more magical treasures, characters, and even heroes from the Water Margin. If this happens in a crowded city, there will definitely be chaos every few days.

I still need a private space of my own.

"Okay, I'll go ask that village chief Shilou tomorrow to see if there are any vacant manors and fields around here."

Simonda made the decision.

Now their money and provisions have doubled compared to when they set out from Guobei County, so even higher prices are no longer a problem.

After giving his instructions, Ximen Qing didn't say anything more. He went straight back to his bed, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

Simon thought he had gone to cultivate, so he tiptoed onto the bed and went to sleep.

At this moment, Ximen Qing opened the system panel.

My gaze immediately shifted to the Soul Points section; the last ten-pull had brought my balance to 35.

Without any hesitation, he silently recited in his mind:

"System! Thirty draws! Immediately!"

That's right, he's going all in again.

The fox demon, the mysterious Taishan Demon Kingdom, everything that happened in Guobei County, and the never-before-seen Yan Chixia and Zhou Chun.

All of this put a lot of pressure on him.

We still need to improve our strength as soon as possible!

Ximen Qing has seen it all. Tonight the moonlight is bright and clear; it must be a perfect opportunity to escape poverty and enter Europe!

He had secretly prayed on the way back.

He worshipped everyone, from the Jade Emperor and the Supreme God to Hallelujah Jehovah and Allah, and even Zeus.

Let's see if these gods can spare him some good stuff, considering he's from the same hometown as us.

Everything is ready, except for the card draw!

Come out!

Thirty cards flashing white light suddenly appeared in front of Ximen Qing, filling his entire field of vision!

He took a deep breath and looked straight ahead.

Before he could even see it clearly, a golden light had already shot out.

Two cards flew out from the thirty orbs of light in front of him, and one card also flew out from his body, merging the three into one.

SR Card: [Strategist Zhu Wu]

Almost instantly, Ximen Qing saw the card in front of him clearly.

In addition to Li Kui the Black Whirlwind, I also obtained an SR card fragment, "Divine Strategist Zhu Wu," at Black Wind Mountain last time.

He originally thought that this thing would be kept at the bottom of a box, just like the Jade Kirin Lu Junyi before.

I never expected it to be released so quickly!

A surge of ecstasy welled up within me.

Regardless of whether Zhu Wu is famous or not, this is an SR-level card that can draw active skills!

Gongsun Sheng's active skill, "Asking the Gods," has made great contributions to his career!

Thank the gods! He's truly turned his bad luck into good!

Without even looking at anything else, he immediately used the SR Divine Strategist card!

A stream of light flew into his body.

It sent a chill down his spine!

He then opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"What's wrong?"

The noise woke up Ximen Da, who was still awake. He looked at Ximen Qing, whose eyes were wide open, and asked.

"It's alright, I feel like my mind is full of wisdom!"
