"Come up...where should I sit?"

"Of course it's behind me. Where else would you like to sit?"

"..."

Yue Xiling grabbed Li Moxuan's hand, used the momentum to climb onto the horse's back, and sat behind him. After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed the clothes around his waist.

"Are you seated?"

"Um……"

Li Moxuan reached out and gently patted the horse's back. "Little Wu, go have some fun!"

He had originally been concerned about Yue Xiling's riding skills, but now he didn't need to. With the joyful neighing of the white-hoofed hawk, it carried the two people on its back and dashed off like a white lightning bolt.

For the first time, Yue Xiling experienced what it meant to be fast as lightning. The speed was comparable to that of the Sky Boat, and it was practically flying close to the ground!

To avoid being thrown off, she could only use her hands to lock Li Moxuan's waist from behind and hug him tightly...

……

Frosty Forbidden City.

"Ciyou, are you leaving so soon?"

"Well, I originally wanted to come back to see Xiling, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Fortunately, the outcome wasn't bad..."

Yue Qingxuan nodded, trying to persuade Jiang Ciyou, who was saying goodbye, to stay. "Ciyou, I know you have ideals in your heart, but this path is not easy..."

"If possible, I still hope you can stay and inherit the Dreamland, and continue to protect everyone!"

"And even if you want to realize your ideals, wouldn't it be better to have a reliable force behind you?"

To this, Jiang Ciyou simply smiled and shook her head, "Aunt Yue, you know, this position should have originally belonged to Xiling, but she just didn't fight for it..."

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, I know that the establishment of the Dreamland was filled with bloodshed and sorrow. Everyone cherishes this hard-won life and doesn't want to be dragged into the fighting again!"

"But I'm different. I want to realize my ideals, and the road ahead is destined to be filled with blood!"

"I don't want everyone to pay the price for my own selfish reasons, so I plan to go out and explore for a few more years to see if I can meet some like-minded people who are willing to help me..."

"To bid farewell to sorrow..."

Yue Qingxuan hesitated, but ultimately swallowed her words and instead offered words of encouragement: "I wish you success!"

"Okay, goodbye Aunt Yue!"

Jiang Ciyou walked out of the main hall and met up with Shi Mo, who had been waiting outside for a long time. They then left the Illusionary Heaven Palace step by step...

"God..."

Yun Qingyu stepped into the palace. "According to the soldiers who went out to search, Bai Jingzhe and Wei Xuancang have abandoned their search and left..."

Leave? Does he give up so easily? He probably just wants to escape my surveillance, right?

However, Yue Qingxuan did not plan to send anyone to search for them. Unless the four great spirit masters were dispatched, sending ordinary people would only be suicide...

"Qingyu, have you found the person I asked you to investigate?"

Yun Qingyu gently shook her head, "God, we searched the entire city, but we couldn't find any trace of that girl named Li Moxuan..."

"The soldiers guarding the city didn't see her leave the city either; it's as if she vanished into thin air. It's very strange!"

Yue Qingxuan remained silent for a long time before saying, "Alright, I understand. You can go now. Do as I told you before!"

"Yes……"

As the palace gates were closed again, Yue Qingxuan sat alone in the empty palace. She was now almost certain that Liu Hengdao's death was related to Li Moxuan.

When Yue Qingxuan invited her to dinner at the banquet hall that day, he tried to observe her marriage prospects, but this action was stopped by the guardian deity Taiyin Xingjun.

She asked why, but the Moon Goddess only mysteriously left behind a single sentence: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"

The girl's divine realm hadn't reached immortality, so she was probably a guardian deity whose position was above that of the Taiyin Star Lord. I just don't know why she approached Xiling, or if she had any ill intentions...

……

"Ah-"

Li Moxuan stopped his horse, touched his nose, and looked up at the setting sun. It was getting late, so it was no longer suitable to continue the journey. He could rest for the night.

"Hey! Loosen your grip! There seems to be a village not far ahead. Let's stay there for the night!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Xiling, whose face was pale behind him, breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her grip on him. After flying close to the ground for a day, she felt like she was about to collapse.

I've fallen a few times and gotten quite dirty, so I'll take a nice, fragrant bath, give Ah You a divine command, and then get a good night's sleep.

She looked up at Li Moxuan in front of her, a little puzzled. How could this guy still be so energetic after flying close to the ground for a day?

"Could you slow down a bit?"

"This journey is possible..."

"..."

Ok!

Looks like I'll have to come back tomorrow, but at least I can enjoy a few moments of peace...

The two rode on horseback, slowly approaching the village. Before long, they arrived in front of the village and glanced at the stone tablet next to it.

"Ishimura?"

Yue Xiling read the name aloud, then frowned. "What a strange name. Shouldn't it be called Shijia Village?"

Why worry about so much?

Li Moxuan dismounted. "Let's go! It looks like someone still lives here. Let's go in and take a look!"

"Oh……"

Yue Xiling climbed off the white-hoofed crow and followed Li Moxuan into the village. Even though the sun was about to set, many people in the village were still busy.

Upon seeing the newcomers arrive in the village, the villagers stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes to the two of them. Their eyes were indifferent, as if they were looking at dead people, which sent chills down everyone's spines.

Yue Xiling moved closer to Li Moxuan to feel a little safer, and muttered softly, "Are all the people outside this fierce?"

Li Moxuan's gaze swept over the surrounding villagers, his brows furrowing. These people... were a bit strange...

The two were walking on a village path when an honest-looking, kind-faced old man approached them.

Behind him followed a sexy and elegant blonde woman with blue eyes. Even from this distance, Li Moxuan could still smell the faint jasmine fragrance on her.

The old man stopped the two. "I am the village chief of Stone Village. May I ask why you two have entered our village?"

Out of politeness, Li Moxuan cupped his hands and said, "We are passing through this area and would like to ask to stay here for the night..."

"I see……"

The old man stroked his beard and suggested, "It's just my daughter and me living in my house, and we have extra rooms. Why don't you two stay here for the night?"

"Thank you for your trouble!"

"Father, don't you have other things to attend to? Let me entertain these two distinguished guests who have come from afar!"

The woman who had been observing Li Moxuan from behind the old man suddenly smiled, stepped forward, and took on the task of greeting Li Moxuan and Yue Xiling, while also giving Li Moxuan a flirtatious wink.

Upon seeing this, Yue Xiling immediately pouted, feeling inexplicably annoyed. This woman was definitely not a good person!

Chapter 394: They Don't Accept You

"That's troublesome..."

Li Moxuan followed behind the woman, watching the woman swaying her slender waist ahead. Yue Xiling pouted and whispered, "Senior, how about we go to another place?"

"what happened?"

"I... I don't think she's a good person..."

This girl's intuition is pretty accurate; she doesn't seem as useless as the rumors say!

"But she's the village chief's daughter. If she's not willing to accept us, who among the villagers would be?"

"Can……"

"Okay, you promised to listen to me the whole way, right?"

"……All right!"

The two followed the woman to a stone house. The house was very simple but clean, like the dwelling of a wandering hermit.

Li Moxuan glanced around the room and frowned. It seemed this woman had killed quite a few people...

The woman turned around and said with a smile, "This is a room in my house that I use to entertain guests. Please stay here for the night!"

Li Moxuan didn't expose the woman on the spot, but instead thanked her, "Yes, thank you!"

"Don't mention it! Feel free to come to me anytime if you need anything!"

The woman bent over, showing off her ample breasts, gave a seductive laugh, and turned to sway her hips as she slowly walked away.

"cut--"

Yue Xiling crossed her arms, looking annoyed. "It's just a few ounces of meat. Why are you acting like nobody else has any? What's there to show off?"

Seeing Li Moxuan staring at the woman's back, Yue Xiling pouted and looked down at her own chest. She had one too! It was just a little smaller!

"Senior, stop looking!"

Yue Xiling grabbed Li Moxuan's arm and tried to lead him inside, saying, "Let's go inside and rest!"

"You really want to rest here?"

"Huh? Shall we go to another one?"

"..."

Li Moxuan pulled her hand off his arm and asked, "Can't you feel the intense death aura in this village?"

"Death energy?"

Yue Xiling sensed it carefully. "Really? I don't smell any stench of decay!"

"..."

Li Moxuan placed his hand on her head, "Don't resist, I'll let you see clearly..."
