Han Xing nodded and asked, "Huo Huo, you are the judge of the Ten Kings Division. I trust your judgment. The rest of the journey is up to you."
Seeing that Han Xing didn't question her opinion at all, Huo Huo was momentarily at a loss. She knew Han Xing meant to lead the team herself. But because of her usual timidity and social anxiety, not only others, but also herself, constantly questioned her own judgment and choices.
Tail uncle glanced at Han Xing, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly. He glanced at Huo Huo and said:
"You little coward! Everyone's lives depend on you right now. If you keep cowering like this, what do you think everyone will think?"
"I...I know." Huo Huo gritted her teeth, her gaze becoming resolute. Now her colleagues in Sui Garden had vanished, and the fate of Xue Yi and Jackdaw was uncertain. As the sole judge of the Ten Kings Court, she had to fulfill her duties, no matter how frightened she was.
"Ms. Han Xing...please follow me."
Huo Huo stretched out her still trembling hand and grabbed Han Xing's sleeve.
Han Xing smiled. She knew Huo Huo was timid but courageous at heart, and this incident was a chance for her to regain some confidence and courage. She took the girl's hand in hers. It felt stiff and cold, as if she were frightened. However, Han Xing's body temperature was high, and in just a moment, the girl's hand was warmed up.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Han Xing's gentle smile was magnified infinitely in Huo Huo's eyes. She pursed her lips nervously, not knowing what to say, and then she heard Han Xing continue, "Also, don't be so polite. Just call me Han Xing, no need to say 'you'."
"it is good...."
Huo Huo lowered her head and responded softly, but she didn't know when her little face had turned red.
"Tsk."
At the same time, smacking sounds were heard beside me. It was Mebius and Sanyueqi.
"Little white mouse, is this how you trick little girls~?"
Han Xing pretended not to hear and followed Huo Huo to the Demon Locking Tower.
Huo Huo produced a talisman in his hand and spoke. "This is the 'Fox Sleeping Tomb Demon Suppression Tower,' part of the Suiyuan formation's 'Shape-Binding and Evil-Repelling Formation,' which can be used to suppress the Sui Yang. All we need to do is find the Sui Yang within the tower and draw their energy for our own use. This will deplete their energy, leaving them short-lived and unable to break free."
After she finished speaking, the talisman in her hand started to burn out of thin air, and she clapped her hands directly on the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
"Normally it doesn't matter how many people go in, but now it's better to leave a few people to guard me. In order to prevent any accidents, I will always protect the passage and prevent it from closing." Huo Huo said and looked at Han Xing.
"You're the team leader. Since you've already asked, there's no reason for me to refuse."
Upon hearing this, Han Xing looked at San Yue Qi.
"Then let the two of us go in."
Seeing Mebius nod, Han Xing no longer hesitated and directly pulled March Seven's hand and walked in.
......
The scene changes rapidly.
A quaint Chinese-style mansion stood before him, hidden by dense trees. A red plaque hung above the main entrance, but the writing was blurred. It looked as if no one had lived there for years. Even the two stone lions guarding the entrance had their heads chopped off, as if warning anyone to stay away.
At this moment, a shrill suona sound was heard, and white paper money began to fall from the sky.
Han Xing reached out and took the paper money that fell on his head, and the expression on his face became much more serious.
"It's a bit tricky... I didn't expect that the Demon-Suppressing Tower would be in such a state." Han Xing murmured.
San Yue Qi hugged Han Xing's arm tightly, and said with a twitching mouth: "What kind of instrument is making this sound? It sounds too creepy..."
"How can it not be intimidating?" Han Xing clenched his fists, and a long sword took shape. "This instrument is called the suona. As the saying goes, 'Of all instruments, the suona is the king. It's either ascension or worship.' It seems we won't see the worship today, but we can certainly witness the ascension."
As he spoke, Han Xing pulled San Yue Qi directly, kicked open the door of the mansion, and walked inside.
As they entered, the first thing they saw was the main hall, its doors wide open. A pitch-black coffin lay quietly within. It was pitch black, lit only by a few candles flickering faintly. You saw a large red couplet, inscribed with the words, "Life and death are determined by fate; wealth and honor are determined by heaven."
Han Xing didn't venture any further. She walked along the bluestone path, looking around. The mansion was surrounded by a high wall, on which something seemed to be drawn in blood. She closed her eyes slightly, and her consciousness spread out again, but it was still obscured by a shroud of mist.
"It still doesn't work..." Han Xing shook his head helplessly, and the two of them walked towards the high wall first.
When he got closer, Han Xing could see clearly what was drawn on it, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"Although the writing is a bit complicated, it seems to say... 'The general has been ordered to arrive here.' Isn't this the legendary painting on the corpse-suppressing talisman? Why would someone write it on the wall..."
Han Xing was studying when the corner of his clothes was pulled by San Yueqi.
Turning around, Han Xing saw San Yue Qi looking at the pond not far ahead with a look of horror on his face.
"Han...Han Xing, when we came...did you have that pair of embroidered shoes?!"

Chapter 264 Don’t you like getting close to girls the most?
"When we came...were those embroidered shoes there?"
San Yueqi's words echoed in Han Xing's ears. Looking in the direction of the other party's finger, he saw a pair of exquisitely crafted embroidered shoes standing quietly by the pool, as if they had been there from the very beginning.
Han Xing's scalp tingled. She clearly remembered that when she came in, there was nothing beside this long-dried pond. If there was anything, it was only a seemingly decorative viewing stone with a single word engraved on it...
"Wait a minute, where did that rock go?"
Han Xing's heart was filled with alarm. She subconsciously protected San Yue Qi behind her, then gripped the sword tightly in her hand and walked towards the embroidered shoes.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
The sound of liquid dripping from a height echoed in his ears. Han Xing frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that in the previously dry pond, drops of bright red blood were seeping out from the pool wall, merging and eventually filling the entire pond.
At the same time, the embroidered shoes that were originally standing still suddenly seemed to come alive, constantly moving forward, and actually fell straight into the pool of blood.
"March, follow me closely."
Han Xing subconsciously tried to grab San Yueqi's hand, but when he grabbed it, Han Xing was stunned.
The touch from his palm was very strange, soft and hard, yet with a kind of flexibility. A chilling feeling emanated from it, as if it could penetrate the skin and flesh, piercing Han Xing's body directly to his heart.
"Who?!"
Han Xing was startled and his body instantly retreated to the side, with a sword area covering his feet.
But when she steadied herself, she found that there was no one behind her, even March Seventh had disappeared.
"March--!"
Han Xing frowned. In just the moment she turned around, San Yue Qi disappeared into thin air. Furthermore, she hadn't noticed any movement, not even a trace of energy fluctuation.
Han Xing forced himself to calm down and looked around, but didn't see a single figure.
"There are only two possibilities now."
"First, I was trapped in an illusion. Everything around me was unreal."
"Secondly, there are hidden dangers in this village. Sanyue is very likely to be captured, but most likely imprisoned. Because with her current strength, it is impossible to be wiped out instantly unless the envoy comes in person. Besides, I didn't sense any energy fluctuations."
After coming to this conclusion, Han Xing's panicked heart due to San Yueqi's disappearance temporarily calmed down. The next thing to do was to verify the conjecture.
"So, what was it that I grabbed earlier?"
Recalling the feeling he had on his palm, Han Xing always felt like he was grasping the hand of a corpse. And speaking of corpses...wasn't there a coffin placed in the main hall?
Han Xing arrived in front of the main hall and walked inside.
A faint scent of incense and candles filled the air. The interior of the main hall was dark, with only the occasional moonlight filtering through the windows, illuminating some vague furniture and decorations.
Han Xing ignored all that and walked straight to the coffin. The coffin was tightly closed, just as it had been when Han Xing and San Yue Qi entered.
"Are you...looking for me?"
Just when Han Xing was about to open the coffin, a female voice suddenly came from behind him.
At the same time, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window. In the light, a human figure was projected on the coffin and caught Han Xing's eyes.
Han Xing swallowed his saliva and turned around, only to see a graceful figure standing quietly at the door. She was slightly thin, petite yet delicate.
But then, the figure behind him actually began to slowly turn his head. 20°, 30°, 40°... He turned it 180° like this, until his face was exactly aligned with Han Xing's.
Faced with such a strange scene, Han Xing had no intention of taking action, because she knew the person in front of her.
Han Xing asked, "Xue Yi...why are you here?"
"Do you know me?"
Hearing Han Xing's words, Xue Yi's face showed a puzzled expression. She slowly turned her body and walked towards Han Xing.
Han Xing couldn't help but tighten the sword in her hand. Even though she knew the person in front of her, she always felt a sense of unease from him.
"Of course I know you. We've met outside before, and you even brought Kafka to meet me."
Hearing Han Xing's words, a trace of memory flashed across Xue Yi's face, and then she squatted down holding her head in pain, and a painful groan came from her mouth:
"Han Xing... Kafka... Xian Zhou... Sister... Sister——!"
At the end of her words, Xue Yi seemed to have thought of something. She stood up suddenly and threw Han Xing directly onto the coffin.
"Xue Yi, what are you doing?!"
Han Xing was shocked, but she didn't dare to struggle hard. After all, she didn't know how much force the puppet's body could withstand. If she couldn't control the force well, or used any skills indiscriminately, causing the other party's mental deviation, it would be a real sin.
Xue Yi pressed on Han Xing, but did not attack him. She stared into Han Xing's golden eyes and said, "Those things don't matter... Let me ask you, are you Han Xing?"
Han Xing nodded obediently, and then a faint light flashed in Xue Yi's eyes in front of him, and the door of the main hall was instantly closed by a gust of cold wind.
"What...what do you want to do?" Han Xing asked nervously.
Xue Yi stared at Han Xing's belt with burning eyes and said, "That person said that as long as he could make you happy... he would tell me the whereabouts of my sister."
"Who?" Han Xing asked with a raised eyebrow.
Xue Yi replied blankly: "I forgot."
"......." Han Xing was speechless. She reached out and tried to pick up Xue Yi, but found that the person was like a root under her feet and could not move at all.
Helpless, Han Xing had to tentatively ask: "Then...how are you going to make me happy?"
Unexpectedly, Xue Yi's eyes turned and she started to take off her clothes.
"??? What are you doing?! I have a big family, I wouldn't be so careless--!"
Xue Yi was stunned and said, "Although I don't remember when I met you, I remember that you like to stick close to girls the most. I think I have seen a similar scene."
"What image do you have of me in your mind? I was interrogating the prisoner Xianzhou, do you understand? How come your brain is broken as well as your amnesia?" Han Xing complained as he backed away.
Xue Yi, however, still looked indifferent and put her hand directly on Han Xing's belt.
"I don't care! But... I will try my best to make you happy!"
At the same time, there was a commotion in the coffin behind him.
"Hmm! Han Xing..."
Han Xing was startled and cried out in shock: "Sanyue! Why are you in the coffin?!"
-------------------------------------
Chapter 265 Did you kiss her just now? !
"Such things are not important."
Xue Yi's hand pressed hard on Han Xing's chest with such force that Han Xing could hardly breathe.
She glanced coldly at the coffin, then stared into Han Xing's eyes and said, "Why are you so resistant to me? Although my memory is a little fuzzy, I remember that you didn't treat other girls like this. Could it be because of this body? If you don't like this material, I can change it."
"What you said is a bit scary!" Han Xing didn't know where to start complaining. San Yueqi in the coffin behind her seemed to have heard the conversation between the two and struggled even harder.
Xue Yi continued expressionlessly, "What's so scary about this? This body is the body of a puppet of the Ten Kings Division. As long as it's a puppet, it can be replaced."
Xue Yi said this, not wanting to continue talking nonsense with Han Xing. She pressed Han Xing's head with both hands and asked coldly, "What should I do next..."
"?" Han Xing widened his eyes. Was it necessary to ask the victim about such a thing?
"I...have never done such a shameful thing to anyone else, so, can you teach me how I can make you happy?"
Hearing Xue Yi's words, Han Xing sighed helplessly, her eyes meeting Xue Yi's sullen ones.
"It seems that Juouji's skills are really good..."
"Why are you saying this suddenly? Just tell me how to make you happy." Xue Yi asked in confusion.
