“Swoosh—swoosh—!”
As soon as Di Ting arrived next to Han Xing, he jumped directly onto her, waving his four little hooves and landing not far from Han Xing's chest.
"You...you lecherous Di Ting!" Upon seeing this, San Yue Qi slapped Di Ting, who was about to run to Han Xing's chest, and turned to glare at Jing Liu and said, "Miss Jing Liu, what do you mean? Are you attracted to my husband and so thought of this way to take advantage of him?"
Jing Liu glanced at Han Xing thoughtfully, then sneered, "Miss Sanyue, you're joking. I guess there's something wrong with the device inside this Di Ting device."
After staring at Han Xing for a while, Jing Liu turned to look at Ji Zi, who was sitting at the head of the table, and said, "Miss Ji Zi, since the evildoer and the criminal are not hiding in the mansion, they are most likely wandering around. So I think I will have to stay here for a few days. Could I stay at your mansion for a few days?"
Ji Zi narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a long moment, she nodded and said, "Of course, but Miss Jingliu has also seen that there are not many people in our house. If there is anything that is not well received, please forgive me, Miss Jingliu."
Jingliu nodded and thanked him. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Jingliu followed the guard to a wing room.
After Jingliu left, Ji Zi looked at Han Xing and said, "Xiaoxing, pack your things tonight. We'll leave here tomorrow. The city is no longer safe."
Han Xing frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Ji Zi: "That person named Jing Liu just now should have died hundreds of years ago, yet he suddenly appeared here. I heard that whenever he appears, he brings bloodshed. We have a close relationship with General Jing Yuan. If there are evil spirits or wanted criminals nearby, they will definitely send someone to warn us. But Jing Liu just now didn't mention General Jing Yuan's name at all. And the most important thing is... I can't sense any human aura on her."
Sanyueqi shrank closer to Hanxing and said fearfully, "Sister Jizi, please don't scare me. Could that guy be a zombie or something like that?"
Ji Zi shook her head: "I'm not sure what the specific situation is, but if we continue to stay here, it will definitely be dangerous. So for everyone's safety, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
Han Xing frowned and thought in his heart.
So far, it has been confirmed that Jingliu’s target should be Bailu.
Moreover, in the last reincarnation, Jingliu once said that the charges against Bailu on the wanted warrant were not valid, and that the person was not killed by Bailu but by Jingliu.
So... what happened that led to Jing Liu killing someone and Bai Lu taking the blame? And what caused Jing Liu to kill someone?
Although Jingliu was suffering from a demonic body, he was clearly still rational. He would not kill people at will, and he would let Bailu, the reincarnation of Bai Heng, take the blame.
Han Xing vaguely felt that after these things, he would find the key to passing the secret realm.
However, the most important thing before that was that she must not leave the courtyard, otherwise she would never have the chance to contact Jing Liu again, and would have no chance of finding out the truth behind this matter.
Han Xing looked up at Ji Zi and said, "Sister Ji Zi, I don't think we should leave here rashly."
Ji Zi raised her beautiful eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Xiao Xing, why do you say that? There are dangers everywhere. Isn't leaving the best option?"
"No, we are in the open now. Any action we take will be exposed to others. Even if we are careful, we will inevitably be noticed when we evacuate, and the situation may become even more dangerous at that time." Han Xing returned.
Upon hearing this, San Yueqi unconsciously tightened his grip on Han Xing's hand.
Han Xing gently shook the somewhat cold hands and continued, "Sanyue, don't be afraid. As long as we continue to stay here, inquire about the news, and respond accordingly, there will be no major problems. Besides, Jingliu is not necessarily our enemy."
......
Noon.
Han Xing took some food from the kitchen, then went to his room first, rubbed Bai Lu, who was sleeping soundly, to wake her up. After feeding her, he turned and went to Jing Liu's room.
—Dang! Dang! Dang!
"Who?" Jing Liu's cold voice came from inside the door.
Han Xing smiled and said, "Sister Jingliu, I'm here to bring you some food."
The door was pushed open, and Jingliu saw that the person coming was Han Xing, so he turned around and let her in.
"I didn't expect Miss Han Xing to be so enthusiastic that she actually delivered the food here herself. Aren't you afraid that your Sanyueqi will be jealous?" Jingliu said jokingly as he looked at Han Xing who was being attentive and setting up the unfinished game in front of him.
Han Xing: "Little Sanyue isn't that stingy. She's just a little shy. She doesn't mean any harm."
Jing Liu remained silent, looking at the table full of dishes. He raised his eyebrows and asked Han Xing, "So, little Han Xing...what exactly are you planning on doing to me?"
Han Xing thought for a moment, then spoke directly: "Sister Jingliu, I... know the whereabouts of the person you are looking for."
As Han Xing finished speaking, the temperature in the room plummeted. Jing Liu smiled a maniacal smile and said, "You... are indeed related to her. I was wondering why Di Ting could possibly have a problem. Even if it was designed based on a dog, it wouldn't be interested in humans."
Han Xing said calmly, "Don't worry, Sister Jingliu. I know her whereabouts and I can take you to see her. But you must tell me everything that happened and why the government issued a warrant for her arrest. Only then will I take you to see her."
"Hehe~" Jing Liu snorted coldly, unsheathing the longsword in her hand and placing it directly across Han Xing's neck. She said coldly, "Actually, I have another option. That's to use my sword to scrape off your flesh bit by bit. I'll stop when you say so."
As he spoke, Jing Liu's eyes beneath the black veil emitted an extremely terrifying red light.
However, facing Jing Liu's threat, Han Xing smiled faintly and said, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't come to you. I advise you to cooperate with me. You want to see her, and I want information. Isn't it better for us to each get what we need?"
Seeing Han Xing's completely unmoved expression, Jing Liu put down his sword and said, "What do you want to know?"
Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the frozen food on the table. The golden flame in his hand flickered and slowly heated up all the dishes.
Jing Liu swallowed her saliva. She had been on the road for the past few days and hadn't eaten for several days. Now that so many delicious meals were placed in front of her, she was really tempted.
Han Xing also noticed that Jing Liu was very hungry, so he handed the chopsticks to her and said, "Please, we can talk about this after you finish your meal. Although the taste is not as good after thawing, it is still better than going hungry."
Jing Liu did not answer, but said with some embarrassment: "I...I am not feeling well right now, so I cannot take off the black veil on my head."
Han Xing asked curiously, "Even so, can't you tell where I am just by sensing it?"
Jingliu explained, "That's because you're a human being. Being human makes noises, and can be hostile or friendly. If you hadn't just emanated only vigilance, not hostility, I would have killed you with my sword."
Han Xing had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu and brought it to Jingliu's mouth. His slightly thin lips opened slightly and he swallowed the tofu in one gulp.
Han Xing smiled and looked at the crystal clear liquid remaining on the chopsticks, swallowed it and said with a smile: "How does it taste?"
Jingliu felt the salty, fragrant and slightly spicy taste in his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
Han Xing chuckled and began to feed him mouthful by mouthful.
At first, Jingliu seemed a little restrained when facing Hanxing's feeding, but as time went on, he gradually became bolder.
Jingliu: "I want to eat that... braised pork."
Han Xing: "Okay."
Jingliu: "Tofu."
Han Xing: "Drink some soup first. There's too much chili in that soup. Eat less."
......
After a long while, Jingliu burped with satisfaction. As if feeling a little embarrassed by his appearance just now, Jingliu straightened himself up, coughed twice with a cold expression, and said:
"Ahem! I...I'm full. If you have anything you want to know, ask now. Otherwise, I'll chop you down with my sword and go find her myself."

Chapter 195 Swallowing Mirror Flow "Demon Yin"
Looking at Jing Liu's pretentious look, Han Xing curled her lips and said, "Hey, do you have to be so ruthless? You beat the cook after dinner, right?"
Jing Liu turned his head away from Han Xing and said sullenly, "If you have any questions, ask them now. Otherwise, I'll get angry and I won't be able to control myself."
Han Xing put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Well... first of all, the first question. What crime did Bai Lu commit, and why is she wanted by the government?"
"Guilt, hehe~" Jing Liu sneered when he heard Han Xing's question. His red eyes turned cold and incomparable. "She did nothing wrong. Those crimes should have nothing to do with her."
Seeing that Han Xing still had a puzzled expression on his face, Jing Liu began to explain in detail.
"Her name used to be Bai Heng. The reason she became like this is because of two of my former friends. They used a power that was absolutely forbidden to them to try to revive Bai Heng, who had died on the battlefield, but they failed. And because of that uncontrollable power, they created an extremely powerful demon."
"It slaughtered countless soldiers and civilians. Countless people died in vain. And as her best friend, I... I killed her with my own hands."
Han Xing frowned. Wasn't Jing Liu talking about the Danfeng Rebellion? In other words, the same thing had happened in this world before, or perhaps...
Jing Liu: "Those two people must pay for this. They tarnished Bai Heng's honor as a warrior. They made her the monster she hated most in her life."
Jingliu became more and more excited as she spoke. She stood up, holding her head and banging it hard. The black veil on her head could no longer cover her scarlet eyes.
Han Xing hurriedly stood up and supported Jing Liu, with golden light flashing in his hand. As soon as he touched Jing Liu, he felt an unbearable chill.
"Oh my god!" Han Xing exclaimed, looking at his hands that were instantly frozen. His eyes focused, and a ball of golden flame appeared instantly, directly dispelling the cold air.
"Jingliu, calm down. They will pay for their sins sooner or later. Don't you want to see her again?" Han Xing said as he approached Jingliu, and a faint golden film gradually formed on his body.
"Yes, I want to see her again, I..." Jing Liu's eyes, glowing red, looked at Han Xing, and a long sword as bright as the moon was about to take shape in his hand.
Han Xing immediately hugged Jing Liu and said angrily, "Damn it, I was just saying that. Do you really want to beat up the cook after dinner? Do you have any conscience at all?"
Jing Liu's cold body struggled constantly in Han Xing's arms. Unfortunately, although Han Xing couldn't defeat her in a head-on fight, he was much stronger than her. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
Jingliu roared, "Let me go and take me to see her, or I will kill you!"
"You... calm down!" Han Xing hugged Jing Liu tightly and said helplessly.
As time went by, Han Xing felt that Jingliu's body in her arms was getting colder and colder. She did not dare to fully activate the golden flame. If the Jingliu in this world was really the real Jingliu, he would most likely be burned by the flame.
In a moment of urgency, Han Xing suddenly had an idea and asked the system, "System, can I devour the demonic body?"
[As long as this individual exists, Chimera can devour everything.]
[Of course, it depends on the host's own situation. ]
Han Xing continued to ask: "Then how should I devour it? There's a living person in front of me now. I can't just swallow it in one gulp, right?"
[Searching for information...]
"Injury," "defilement," "anger," "othering," and "unconsciousness" are the five symptoms of falling into the demonic realm.
[Individual name: Mirror Flow, belonging to the group of "Anger"]
Han Xing: "What do you mean?"
"Anger": refers to a state of mind that harbors resentment and the desire to harm others, with emotions beginning to fluctuate violently between sadness, joy, resentment, and anger.
Han Xing hugged Jing Liu tightly with both hands, feeling the growing strength and coldness, and hurriedly said to the system: "I won't ask anymore, just tell me how to devour it."
The host can currently devour the Mirror Flow demonic body in two ways. First, the reason the Immortal Boat's demonic body is trapped is largely related to their own memories and experiences. The host can completely devour all of the Mirror Flow's painful memories, restoring their emotional threshold to normal. Second, the host can devour the intense emotions generated by the Mirror Flow demonic body, restoring their emotional threshold to a level sufficient to restore sanity.
Please note that the second method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It can only temporarily suppress the "Mirror Flow" state. Furthermore, the intense emotions consumed by the Chimera are likely to affect the host, leading to unpredictable changes.
Han Xing hesitated briefly before choosing the second option. Forcibly devouring all of Jing Liu's painful memories would likely cause his memory to become chaotic, and those beautiful memories would then become the source of her suffering once again. While the second option was only a temporary solution, it was relatively safer.
Just as Han Xing made the decision, the black-gold ancient wings behind her suddenly emerged, and countless tentacles quickly stretched out, directly binding the struggling Jing Liu tightly.
"Finally I can take a break..."
Han Xing let go and shook Yue Yi Yi Lin Yi Qi Si Si Jiu's somewhat stiff arms. She reached out and took off the black veil on Jing Liu's head, looked at the pair of crazy eyes, and whispered orders to the tentacles.
“‘Swallow’!”
Dozens of transparent tentacles expanded and surrounded Jingliu's body. One of the largest tentacles directly inserted into Jingliu's heart.
"Ouch!" Jingliu cried out in pain. She looked down, only to find there wasn't even a trace of blood on her chest. Just as she was about to struggle, she felt a piercing through the back of her head. The intense pain made her scream.
Han Xing couldn't bear it any longer, and a golden light shone from his hand, enveloping Jing Liu's body. He gently brushed his hand across Jing Liu's delicate face and said softly, "Don't worry, it won't hurt after a while."
As time passed, the expression on Jingliu's face gradually returned to normal, and the red in his eyes slowly faded away.
She blinked, looked at Han Xing with surprise, and exclaimed: "You...you can cure the demonic body???"
Han Xing chuckled and was about to speak when the system's voice came to his ears.
【Successfully devoured the demonic Yin.】
[Gained the skill "Deeply Trapped in the Darkness", current skill level lv.1.]
['Deeply Trapped in the Demonic Yin': The host falls into a demonic body, greatly increasing their attack damage and greatly enhancing their physical fitness. When this skill is activated, the host will indiscriminately attack everything they see. This skill can be leveled up by devouring demonic bodies, and there is no upper limit.]
When Han Xing heard that she had acquired a new skill, before she had time to be happy, all kinds of desires inexplicably surged in her heart. She looked at Jing Liu who was so close to her, and the feeling of eagerness became even stronger.

Chapter 196: Fullness and Warming
Jingliu is over a thousand years old, but as a fairy boat person, her body was shaped the moment she reached adulthood. Her face will never age and will always be as clear and cool as an immortal.
The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble beauty, the spring breeze caresses the threshold, the dew thickens the beauty. If we hadn't met atop the Jade Mountains, we would have met beneath the moon on the Jade Terrace. For Han Xing, the immortal poet Li Bai's "Qingping Diao" is the most fitting poem for Jing Liu. The last two lines, in particular, perfectly embody Han Xing's current thoughts.
