"Ah? Master is going out? Will it take long?"
After hearing Ling Mengxue's words, the blood doll's mood instantly became depressed and he felt aggrieved.
"This thing is uncertain. If it's fast, it should be done in a day."
"Well... okay, Master, rest assured, I will do my business seriously, hehehe——"
"..."

They are all in high definition~ Sister Lian is awesome!
Chapter 58: About the Xingke Lianmeng Incident
Ling Mengxue walked out of the pharmacy, and all she saw was a vast expanse of fog, gray and hazy, a bit like smog.
She didn't bring anything with her this time. She was wearing casual clothes and a dark blue starry robe, which immediately enhanced her temperament.
Looking at the old black bicycle in the corner, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared in her eyes.
It’s not that she really wants to ride, but mainly because Ping An Street is so big. Even if she uses space teleportation to get there, her star power and magic will soon be exhausted before she reaches her destination.
Now she hasn't even reached the middle level of cultivation, and she has too little "blue". Frequent use of recovery potions is actually quite tiring. Now that she has a means of transportation, why not give it a try?
Ling Mengxue walked over and pulled the bicycle over, but she was still a little hesitant.
The texture of the car is very light, and the materials used seem to be good. Unfortunately, many screws and parts are rusted, otherwise it can definitely be called a ghost motorcycle... uh... a bicycle.
What she was mainly worried about was the social death. After all, she was dressed in a witch's outfit and was a dominant existence in the eyes of the supernatural beings. If she really rode a broken bicycle on the road like this, her image would definitely collapse, right?
"It's a bit of a headache. How about looking for a flying broom?"
Ling Mengxue leaned on the bicycle, her delicate hands gently lifting her silver hair. Recalling the time when Ling Luoluo once took her flying, she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.
"Come to think of it, flying magic items are definitely much more impressive than bicycles, and definitely cooler!"
Thinking of this, she didn't think much and just turned over and rode on the bicycle.
The gradually dimming soul lamp was hung on the hood of the car, and the faint blue light dispersed the black fog.
"How can you fly in the sky in such foggy weather? You can't even see the road clearly, how can you talk about looking for someone?"
Ling Mengxue shook her head and sighed slightly, but in the end reason overcame desire.
Anyway, no one in this damn place knows her. Most of them are evil spirits from hell. Personality doesn't exist at all, okay?
In the darkness, there was silence and no one.
She was almost used to it. After all, where ghosts stayed, the weather was horrible every day, so there was nothing to worry about.
Just like when she first arrived at Ping An Street, after determining a general direction, she drove into the fog without hesitation.
……
On the other side, outside Ping'an District, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
The dawn illuminated a corner of the sky, and thousands of golden light bands hung down, gradually spreading to the entire sky and the ground.
The lavender clouds floated thinly in the sky like a veil.
Around seven o'clock in the morning, a lot of people had gathered in the fog outside Ping'an Street. Among them were students, vendors, travelers, explorers, and so on.
As supernatural stories in the city frequently refresh major websites and forums, many experts who specialize in the supernatural and the spiritual are almost unable to sit still.
Many small secret realms have been quietly opened in corners, causing a certain amount of panic among the people. As the first black forbidden area in Xingzhou, "Ping An Street" has naturally been set as the focus of exploration.
Therefore, now there are not only more young people and explorers, but even the scientific research teams of special departments have specially assigned "Star Warriors" to protect them when they enter for research. Even the Xingzhou Municipal Government has plans for further exploration.
Originally, they wanted to ask the Fate Engraver of the Star Engraving Alliance to come forward, but they heard that there had been a major change in their alliance recently, which resulted in no one having time.
According to the [Nanfeng] courier who is responsible for Xingke Lianmeng, the girls seem to be looking for something very important recently and have no time to deal with too many trivial matters.
It didn't take long.
On a street outside the fog, an extended black Lincoln slowly drove towards them.
Ling Yue rolled down the car window and looked at the gray scene ahead, a look of doubt emerging in his eyes.
"Eh? Isn't Ping'an Street a safe restricted area? Why are there so many people outside? Even people from the city government are here."
"Master, it is said that Ping'an District is the largest mysterious place in Xingzhou. I heard from nearby citizens that there are many monsters lurking in it. Ordinary people don't dare to walk on the roads nearby." The driver and bodyguard explained in an amateurish manner.
"Haha, if that's the case, then what are these people here for? Are they looking for death?" Ling Yue shook his head and sneered, with disdain in his eyes.
At least, only warriors who can unlock the genetic lock can come, right?
If an ordinary person enters such a place, he will definitely die.
Ling Lexuan was lying on the back seat next to her, smiling. She had done her homework in advance and naturally knew what ordinary explorers relied on for survival.
As long as you master some skills and don't go too deep, ordinary people can also thrive in the outer areas of the fog.
Of course, you can't be too ostentatious. If you show off on purpose, aren't you afraid that the monsters won't be able to find you?
"Brother, forget about them, let's go in and take a look. The forum said there are mythical treasures buried in the secret realm. That thing is definitely not something that can be measured by money. It might even be a magic treasure!"
Ling Lexuan smiled, put away her mini laptop, pushed open the car door first, and jumped out of the car happily.
"Sister Le Xuan, don't be so anxious. Didn't you say you needed to buy something before you could go in?"
Ling Yue shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and quickly blocked the car door with his hands, saying: "Mu Ya, you go down first, ladies first~"
"Hey, I'm not polite either."
"We are all friends and classmates, there is no need to be polite to me."
After saying a few simple words, Ling Yue threw the car keys to the bodyguard, told him to send someone to wait and pick them up outside, and then followed Ling Lexuan and the others.
Like most people, they came to an alley with faint blue lights.
It is said that this small street sells the guardian palace lanterns developed by the national special department and Xingke Lianmeng, the 'Soul Lantern'. The main material is refined from the blood and souls of those monsters. It is a kind of supernatural artifact that has the function of dispersing and preventing the erosion of fog.
It was still early and there were only a few small shops open on the street. Whether it was a food store or a breakfast shop, there were some faint dim lights coming from inside, which seemed very harmonious and quiet, yet a little weird.
However, most of them are shops that supply "Soul Lanterns" and are supervised by dedicated personnel.
Ling Lexuan looked around, ignoring the strange looks from passers-by, turned around, picked a lighting shop she liked, and strode in.
Nan Muya and Ling Yue followed him into the house. They looked around curiously at the gloomy environment, and a strong interest, accompanied by tension and excitement, arose in their hearts.
It is still summer and it is very hot outside, but the average temperature at the edge of the fog is only a dozen degrees. It is really magical.
Fortunately, several people brought a few extra sets of clothes with them, and Ling Lexuan and Nan Muya both had destiny spaces, so they had no shortage of travel supplies.

Chapter 59: The Best “Light” in the Store
The shop is not big, but the counter is filled with "soul lamps" of various sizes. Some of the lamps are still glowing with dim flames, and the faint blue flames are constantly jumping and burning with a "sizzling" sound.
"here we go again--"
"here we go again--"
The old woman sitting in the rattan chair heard the noise and immediately complained impatiently.
What is the situation now?
Why are there so many people in the neighborhood today?
Don’t you think enough people have died?
But after looking back, the old woman's originally resentful expression immediately disappeared completely, and her eyes instead shone with a gleam of wisdom.
With her discerning eyes and having been in the business for many years, she could tell that these people were obviously wealthy men from wealthy families. The total value of their clothes was at least tens of millions or even hundreds of thousands, and the lowest was at least a hundred thousand. She had to give them a good "warning".
"Welcome~~~~~~!!"
"What do the guests want to order?"
The old woman stood up cheerfully to greet him, her weathered face full of smiles, looking particularly kind.
Ling Lexuan looked around curiously, subconsciously raised her index finger and pursed her lips. She thought for a moment and smiled, "Grandma, we want to buy three soul lamps~"
"Hehehe - that's easy. We have stock in the store." The old woman smiled and immediately took out a calculator. "What style do you girls want? Do you want something expensive or cheap?"
"Take out the best things from your store. We are not short of money!"
Before Ling Lexuan could say anything, Ling Yue stood up first, patting the bulging Gucci men's leather waist bag on his body with a look of pride, leaving the two people behind him speechless.
Nan Muya twitched her lips, feeling even more embarrassed and ashamed. She felt like she could dig out a castle with her toes.
Who talks like this when buying something?
Isn't this definitely a serious illness?
This classmate of mine is just too arrogant and is not afraid of being humiliated.
Noticing the gazes of the two, Ling Yue finally reacted. He coughed awkwardly and spread his hands, saying, "Isn't this just to save our time? Besides, there's nothing wrong with buying high-quality items, right?"
"What my cousin said makes a lot of sense, so there must be no problem!"
Ling Lexuan was stunned when she heard this, and then she showed a surprised and happy expression.
"Haha, that's what I mean. Grandma, you don't need to say more. Just do as I say."
Being admired a little bit, Ling Yue's vanity was satisfied at once, and he felt very proud.
After a little trouble, the old woman smiled even more happily. She said yes repeatedly, turned around and took down the three fine-quality "Soul Lamps" placed in the most conspicuous position on the counter, and said with a smile: "These are the best lamps in the store. Since you are destined to buy them, I will give you a discount. One lamp is one million, and three lamps are three million. Do you want cash or card?"
"Fuck! What the hell? Can this lamp sell for a million?"
Ling Yue coughed, his face looking extremely strange. He thought that something that would only cost tens of thousands of dollars was actually so ridiculously expensive. The watch on his hand was only worth about a million or so, but it was not even as expensive as this broken lamp?
However, Ling Lexuan and Nan Muya on the side could not help but laugh secretly with their hands covering their mouths, and did not show any sympathy at all.
You're being told to act like a rich guy? You deserve it!
"Hey, young people, what do you know? These are the finest models developed by the country. They are absolutely worth the money. Just tell me whether you want them or not."
The old woman frowned slightly, and seemed to be really angry, giving people a feeling that she was disappointed in his achievements.
Ling Yue was also stunned. He would not have been short of money before, but because of the recent incident at Qi Ye's family, their entire family's funds had been drastically reduced and almost frozen. Now this amount of money was really not a small sum for him.
But what can we do now?
Once you've shown off your power, can you take it back?
Just grit your teeth and swallow it, what else can you do?
“Buy it, swipe the card!”
Ling Yue pulled out a black card, and a flash of pain flashed across his eyes.
"Okay!"
drop--!!
[Ding! WeChat payment has arrived, three million yuan! ! ]
Ouch, that really hurts!
Ling Yue silently took back the bank card and couldn't help but give the old woman a look that said 'Why are you so ignorant?' You are about to lose a wealthy customer, do you understand?
In response, the old woman just smiled and checked her account, as if she saw nothing and just made an ordinary business deal.
After sending the person away, she could hardly hold back her laughter.
"Oh my! Wow! It's really easy for these young people to make money. After finishing this job, I can almost retire."
The old woman couldn't stop smiling. Out of the three million commission, she could get at least a few tens of thousands of dollars, which she could use to buy snacks for her eldest grandson, haha.
Then he turned back into the storeroom and took out three more lamps...
……
At the same time, on a street deep in Ping'an Street, Ling Mengxue was leisurely riding a bicycle through the streets and alleys.
She ran against the wind, her silver hair flying. Even with a hairband, it was a little messy at the moment.
It is quite different from what one might imagine. There are not many evil ghosts walking back and forth on the streets. Instead, there are miserable and ferocious figures curled up in the dark corners, staring at everything in the world with resentment.
