Han Xing turned his head away and said speechlessly: "Aren't you embarrassed to say this? Who seduced me in the secret cave before?"
Bai Lu said angrily, "That's because you made me eat dragon scales! That's why... I became... became..."
Bai Lu's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and her whole face turned red.
Jing Liu, already dressed, came out from the side, reached out and knocked Han Xing hard on the head, saying, "Don't take advantage of me and act like a good boy. Hurry up and get up. Let's go find out who was the one who drugged me yesterday."
Hearing this, Han Xing asked Bai Lu while putting on his clothes, "Little Foodie, where did you get that chicken drumstick and the pile of food yesterday?"
Hearing this, Bai Lu lowered her head with a sense of guilt and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know which food was problematic. I was extremely hungry yesterday. But the big bad guy wasn't around, and I didn't dare go out to find something to eat. Just when I was thinking of just holding it in and going to sleep, I saw the window door opened and the food was handed in."
Han Xing rubbed Bai Lu's little head and said softly: "It's not your fault. I didn't take good care of you. I knew you were in poor health, but I still forgot to bring you food."
"Alright," Jing Liu interrupted, "There's no point in dwelling on who's right or wrong. We have to find this person now. She's very likely the killer who followed Bai Lu."
Han Xing frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Killer?"
Jingliu sighed, her eyes focused on Bailu, but she seemed to be looking at someone else.
"Back then, that evil dragon caused countless lives to be destroyed. As the instigators of all this, my two former friends have already paid the price. Although it is far from enough, I believe they will eventually atone for their sins."
"But she's different. She didn't deserve this! She was a victim. She should have died a hero on the battlefield, but instead she was branded an evil dragon. Furthermore, some people with ulterior motives are extremely interested in the forbidden power they dabbled in back then, and are willing to do anything to gain access to it."
Han Xing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master, what do you mean by 'at all costs'?"
"That's exactly what it says. If killing Bai Lu is useful to them, they will do it without hesitation. If conducting human experiments on Bai Lu is useful, then they will do it. If they need her dragon marrow, then..."
As Jing Liu said this, she felt the temperature in the room begin to rise. She looked at Han Xing and saw that his usually gentle golden eyes were now filled with a murderous aura that was terrifying.
Bai Lu walked to Han Xing, held her hand, and slowly said, "It's okay. Look, I'm fine now, right? Don't think about it."
Han Xing forced a smile, recalling their first conversation in Changletian, when they'd met the maid named Huanxi. Han Xing had tried to take Bailu away, but Huanxi had tried to stop him in vain, leaving her with a harsh warning. "I hope you'll all protect Miss Bailu. If anything happens, you'll be held fully responsible."
"Haha." Thinking of this, Han Xing sneered, "I still say the same thing, if I find out who did it, I guarantee that no one will be able to escape, no matter who you are."
Bai Lu pinched Han Xing's face and said, "Alright, alright! Go eat quickly, I've been hungry for a long time!"
On the way to the kitchen, Jing Liu quietly asked Han Xing, "After what happened yesterday, was the Dragon Girl injured?"
Han Xing replied: "Little Foodie is fine. He probably just fainted from the pain due to the strong poison. Now that I've swallowed the poison, he should be fine."
Jing Liu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He looked around and suddenly asked in confusion, "Xiao Hanxing, has your house always been so quiet? Why is there no one here?"
"Quiet?" Han Xing turned around and looked around, only to find it completely silent and deserted. Feeling a faint sense of unease, Han Xing pulled the two of them straight into the hall.
And in the sky, a slender golden figure held a glass ball in her hand, watching the cold stars running wildly inside and smiled slightly.
"Little guys, don't let me down..."

Chapter 199 Mysterious Well
hall.
The once intact ceiling was now in tatters, revealing exposed wooden beams and broken stones. The surrounding walls, as if eroded by countless years, revealed dull, gray bricks and cracks.
On the main seat, the figure of the red-haired beauty had disappeared, and even the chair made of precious wood had become shaky. The ground was covered with dust and gravel, and the sound of falling leaves could be heard from time to time, telling of the desolation of this place all the time.
Han Xing stared blankly at the scene before him, saying in disbelief, "What...what's going on? It's only been one night, why has this place become like this?"
As everyone walked in, the floor beneath their feet made a creaking sound, and the air was filled with a smell of dampness and dust.
"You bad guy! Come here and look at this!" Bai Lu's voice came from the side, and she squatted on the ground and picked up a hairpin.
Han Xing walked over, first holding Bai Lu's hand, and then said, "Don't run around. The enemy is hiding in the dark. You are the only one among us who can't protect yourself, and you are their target. It's safer to stay with me."
"Oh, I see, I see." Bai Lu replied with a smile, and handed the hairpin in her hand to Han Xing. "Look at this, does it look familiar?"
Han Xing took the hairpin and played with it in his hand. The main body of the hairpin was made of a piece of ice-crystal jade, and four small words were engraved on it with gold wire at the very end.
Han Xing exclaimed in surprise, "'Stars and Moon Shine Together'... This is Little Sanyue's hair fork!"
Bai Lu nodded. "Yeah, I saw Sister Sanyue wearing it during the first reset. I was a little unsure when I first picked it up, but then I saw the words on it. 'Stars and Moon Shine Together'. The 'star' here refers to the big bad guy, and the 'moon' should be Sister Sanyue."
Han Xing nodded, held the hairpin tightly in her hand, raised her head and looked around, trying hard to find the familiar shadow, but in the end there was no result.
"What on earth is going on here?!" Han Xing slapped his head in annoyance and looked around in panic.
Jing Liu also came up at this time, pinched Han Xing's ear and said coldly: "What's the point of worrying? Can you solve the problem? Can you find that girl? If you encounter something like this, you will only worry and not think of a solution. It's better to throw away the sword in your hand as soon as possible! "
Jing Liu rebuked Han Xing without mercy. They might be lovers, important people to each other, but they were also master and disciple. Jing Liu had an obligation to teach Han Xing well, and he must teach her well, so that she would be the one who survived in future fights. Therefore, at this time, she had to calm Han Xing down.
"March Seven's life or death is uncertain. Every second you delay here increases the danger she faces. If you want to wallow in self-pity, I won't stop you."
Jing Liu's cold voice froze Han Xing's restless heart. Han Xing admitted that when the person who might get into trouble became someone around her, she would always become a little confused and at a loss as to what to do.
Because she cares too much about the people around her, but also because of this, as Jingliu said, panicking and blaming herself are useless. What she needs is calmness, absolute calmness, so that she can save March 7 as quickly as possible without wasting a minute or a second.
Han Xing thought of this, reached out and slapped his face hard, and the panic in his beautiful golden eyes faded away, and became clear again.
Seeing this, Jingliu smiled slightly, the long sword in his hand slowly took shape, and the coldness began to spread around his body.
"I'll be responsible for searching outside, and I'll leave the hall to you, my good disciple."
Jingliu said this and disappeared in a flash.
Han Xing took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. Golden light emanated from her body, slowly enveloping the entire hall. Although she could cover the entire mansion with her current strength, this was her first time searching for an object without energy fluctuations, so it was safer to proceed step by step.
Broken teacups, paintings eroded by moss, rotten tea tables... Han Xing didn't know why everything that was originally intact had become like this in an instant. She searched the entire hall but found no trace of a fight.
With his brows slightly furrowed, Han Xing controlled the golden light to spread out of the hall. Jing Liu's graceful figure was clearly visible. She seemed to have noticed Han Xing's movements. She smiled slightly and stopped moving. She just stood there quietly, as if she was afraid of disturbing Han Xing's exploration.
The wing, the guest room, the kitchen... nothing is there——
"Wait! I found it!"
Han Xing focused all his attention on the well next to the kitchen. Although there was no energy fluctuation or any remaining objects there, there was no water either! Instead, there was a pitch-black space. Although he couldn't fully understand what was inside, this was indeed the most suspicious place in the entire mansion.
Jing Liu returned to the hall, her black silk covering her white hair fluttering as she moved. She flew over to Han Xing and said, "How is it?"
The golden light withdrew, and Han Xing replied, "Master, I detected something amiss with the kitchen well. What's strange is that my ability to detect water shouldn't be affected by space, but when I tried to enter, it was like I was blocked by a thick wall, unable to advance an inch."
"It can block spiritual consciousness... Could it be those guys are behind this again?" Jing Liu frowned and said to the two of them, "There's no time to waste. Let's go over and take a look."
.....
"Master, it's this well!"
Han Xing brought Jingliu and Bailu to the well next to the kitchen. There were several green flowers and plants planted beside the well. They grew towards the sun, adding a touch of vitality to the well.
Jing Liu looked at the flowers and plants, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Except for the hall, other places don't seem to have become so desolate. The flowers and plants here are neatly trimmed, and it's obvious that they have been taken care of recently."
The three of them looked down at the well. Looking down, they saw it was pitch black, like an abyss with no bottom to be seen. A golden flame shot out from Han Xing's hand and fell into the well.
The flames fell very slowly, and when they reached a certain height, they suddenly stopped and disappeared, as if they had been teleported to another place.
Han Xing's pupils widened slightly, and he said to the two of them, "There seems to be another space at the bottom of the well!"

Chapter 200 You...don't have any special fetishes, right?
"You big bad guy... I'm a little scared... It's pitch black here, there won't be any dirty things, right?" Bai Lu rode on Han Xing's neck, grabbing her head tightly, her little face full of fear.
Han Xing grabbed Bai Lu's frantic little hand and said speechlessly, "How about you wait for me and Master up there, okay?"
"No! No! You big bad guy, don't even think about leaving me up there alone! I'm scared!" Bai Lu broke free from Han Xing's hand and grabbed Han Xing's hair tightly.
Han Xing smiled, but she certainly didn't want to leave Bai Lu alone. She looked down into the well, and within the boundless darkness, it seemed as if a pitch-black monster was hiding, waiting for anyone to challenge it.
The ancient black-gold wings behind him slowly opened, and Han Xing reached out and took Jing Liu into his arms.
"Master, hold on to me." Feeling the soft curve of the waist pressed tightly against him, Han Xing tightened his arms again.
Jing Liu smiled faintly, as if she noticed Han Xing's nervousness. She gently rubbed Han Xing's head and said, "Don't worry, we will face anything together."
.......
dark.
Boundless coldness=Er'er's fullness^neighboring eight near|darkness.
The most primitive fear engraved in human DNA was quietly awakened. Han Xing hugged Jing Liu tightly in his arms and immersed himself in it.
Tick-tock
tick-
The sound of falling water was heard, the boundless darkness was driven away, and the dim light fell, illuminating the shadows of Han Xing and the other two.
"Are you all okay?" Han Xing asked the two hurriedly.
Jing Liu pulled down the blindfold, revealing a pair of cold eyes. She looked at the hands tightly clasped around her waist and said helplessly, "Xiao Hanxing, Master wouldn't run away even if you didn't hold on so tightly."
Han Xing withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly, and suddenly felt his hair being pulled. He asked in confusion, "Little Foodie, what are you..."
As a result, before Han Xing could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by two hands at the same time.
Han Xing frowned, and then he heard a series of low crawling sounds in his ears.
A bloody mess of flesh slowly crawled towards them, like a moving piece of meat, without limbs or a head. The mucus on its body dripped along the flesh, making a series of noises.
"It's 'seeing flesh', don't make any sound, communicate with your spiritual sense." A voice rang out directly from Han Xing's heart, it was Jing Liu.
Although Han Xing didn't know what spiritual consciousness was, she thought it was something like the energy transmission she had used earlier, so she tried to ask, "Master, why did these things appear here?"
Jing Liu: "I don't know either, but it must be the work of those dragon masters. This thing can block detection. If it weren't for the dragon girl's reminder, I probably wouldn't have discovered it."
Jingliu said this, pulling Hanxing up and walking towards the side little by little.
Jingliu: "Based on my current observations, while this thing has the function of isolation and detection, it doesn't seem to have a visual system. Instead, its auditory system is more acute. Be sure not to make any sound."
Han Xing's heart moved when he heard this, and he activated the "Shadow" skill. He turned into a black shadow and merged directly into the shadow.
Han Xing: "Master, little foodie, step on me, so that even if you run you won't make any noise!"
Jingliu hesitantly tapped the shadow transformed by Han Xing with his toes, and seeing that there was really no sound, he stepped on it directly.
"It's actually... soft?"
Jingliu was a little surprised. He turned around to look at Bailu who was walking again and jumped twice out of curiosity.
Han Xing: "Hmm——Sha——"
Jing Liu's mouth twitched, and he asked nervously, "Xiao Hanxing, you... don't have any special fetishes, right?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xing quickly argued, "Master, please stop talking nonsense. I didn't do that! I didn't do that!"
Jingliu didn't comment, reached out and grabbed Bailu, and the two of them quickly ran forward on the cold stars.
After bypassing the mountain of flesh, Han Xing discovered that the area they were in seemed to be a large prison. The cells were stacked together like Tetris blocks, and several people were imprisoned around them. They were young and old, men and women, with cold and indifferent expressions. Even when they saw Jing Liu and Bai Lu running outside, they remained indifferent, simply watching with cold eyes.
Han Xing: "Master, have you seen Sanyue and the others? There are so many people, my perception is a little confused!"
Jingliu looked around and shook his head, saying, "No, judging by the state of these people, it seems they have been trapped here for a long time. There is no trace of life on their faces. I guess even if we let them out now, they won't survive for a few days."
Bailu couldn't help but clench Jingliu's hand, her small fist clenched tightly, her eyes full of hesitation.
Han Xing's voice echoed directly in her mind: "Little Foodie, if you can't stand it, just close your eyes. Don't even think about saving them. They won't survive."
As the few people stopped to observe, the people in the prison did not show any sign of prayer or hope. Their eyes were sunken and they looked at the few people as if they were looking at dead people.
Just when they wanted to move on, Bai Lu suddenly pointed to a smaller cell in front of them, where a skinny young man was waving at them.
When they got closer, they could see the young man's appearance clearly and were shocked.
Because he was too thin, there was no flesh on the boy's arms. He looked like a dried corpse wrapped in human skin. He looked at the few people with desire in his eyes.
Bai Lu couldn't bear it, so she took out a piece of dessert from her sleeve, which she had picked up from the kitchen when she passed by.
The young man took the snack, as if he had seen some treasure. He slowly broke off a piece and put it into his mouth. His cloudy and weak eyes lit up slightly, and then he thought of something and put it aside, hiding it carefully.
"Where...are you from?" the boy said stutteringly.
