I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

Fu Hua brought Xier to a hotel. The hotel didn't look big, but there were surprisingly many people there. The lobby downstairs was already full of people, and there was a lot of noise.

"Two rooms."

Fu Hua took out a few silver coins from her sleeve and placed them on the counter.

"Um... Sorry, sir, there is only one room left."

However, the person in charge of reception spoke to Fu Hua with an apologetic look on his face.

"Ok?"

"Excuse me, is there something important going on here?"

Xier noticed that most people in the hall were in groups of three or five. With so many people gathered together, there must be something big going on.

"What the girl said is correct. Recently, a highly respected master in the neighborhood has retired from the martial arts world. Many disciples from related sects have come to celebrate and have occupied most of the small shops around here. So there is nothing we can do about it."

The receptionist looked up and looked around and said, "To be honest, business these days is even better than the previous quarter."

"Then just one room."

Fu Hua took back half of the change and then said to the receptionist.

"Okay, it's the third room on the right upstairs."

The receptionist took the money and did a simple check-in before guiding Fu Hua and the other person to their room.

"call……"

Gently opening the door, Xier stuck her head to look inside the room. The simple layout was very plain, but it had everything, even a dressing table, which looked quite thoughtful.

"Master, Master, this place looks pretty good."

Xi'er said to Fu Hua, who nodded calmly.

"Then you sleep here tonight."

Fu Hua pointed to the bed beside her.

"Eh? What about you, Master?"

"I'll just meditate here."

Fu Hua pointed to the chair next to her.

"Hey! That won't do. As a disciple, how can I let my master meditate? No, no, no."

Xier quickly refused.

"No problem, let's do it."

Fu Hua was tough for once, so Xier didn't say anything else.

Chapter 17: Incident (I)

Silent all night.

Xier and Fu Hua ignored the noise below and just rested quietly in the room.

Xiao Shi really wanted to go out and join in the fun, but she didn't sneak away after all, after all, Fu Hua was meditating silently on the chair. Others didn't know, but she knew that Fu Hua's meditation was actually no different from being awake. She had already reached the level of using meditation instead of rest, and deep meditation was even better than sleep. As long as she dared to show up, she would be guaranteed to be hit in the face by a cunning force before she could say a word.

As for Xier, she fell asleep the next moment after she lay down on the bed at night, and her sleeping posture was very bad. She clamped the quilt in front of her body and held the quilt tightly with both hands, as if she was using joint skills to restrain an enemy. Just looking at the degree of distortion of the quilt, you can tell how much strength she used. If it were a human, her neck would probably have been strangled.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room, Fu Hua was the first to open her eyes. Her biological clock, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, accurately read the time.

Soon after, Xier also woke up. She opened her eyes drowsily, but her eyes were lifeless. It was obvious that her body woke up first, but her consciousness did not follow.

"are you awake?"

Fu Hua wanted to wait until Xier woke up a little before taking action, but she didn't expect Xier to wake up so quickly.

"Ok?"

Hearing Fu Hua's voice, Xier subconsciously turned her head to look at Fu Hua, her eyes still hazy.

"If you wake up, we'll just...eh?"

Fu Hua was just about to call Xier to leave, but before she could finish her words, Xier flew in front of Fu Hua and hugged Fu Hua's waist tightly with both hands.

"hey-hey……"

Xier closed her eyes and clung tightly to Fu Hua, making a purring sound in her throat, just like a kitten.

"This……"

Fu Hua stood there blankly, not knowing whether to push or not. Only then did she realize that Xi'er was clearly still asleep.

"Hehehe...stick..."

Xier hugged Fu Hua's waist tightly and rubbed against her.

Fu Hua, the straight woman, had never encountered such a thing before. This coquettish action made her face blush. She put one hand on Xier's shoulder and shook her gently, trying to wake Xier up.

"Xi'er, wake up."

"Well……"

However, Xier did not react at all at this time, and even became more aggressive. Her face gradually moved upwards, and was about to reach the unspeakable place below the neck and above the waist.

"Ok?"

Just after Xier arrived at that area, her expression suddenly froze, and then she rubbed her face, revealing a distorted expression, and muttered two words in confusion.

"so hard……"

Several blue veins suddenly popped up on Fu Hua's forehead. Logically, she wouldn't have any feelings about these things, but for some reason, when Xier said these words, Fu Hua felt angry.

"Stand up straight now!"

He raised his right fist fiercely and smashed it down on Xier's little head.

"Boom!"

A loud voice echoed through the inn, followed by a miserable wail.

————————————————————

"It hurts..."

Xier covered her head gently, looking at Fu Hua who was walking in front of her with resentful eyes. She didn't know what was going on. She was sleeping well, but was woken up by a sharp pain.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Hua's hand that had just been withdrawn. If Fu Hua had not made any move, Xi'er would have thought that Fu Hua had discovered the little consciousness in her body.

(Xiao Shi, what happened this morning?)

Curious about what happened, Xier had to ask Xiaoshi, hoping to get an answer from her.

“Puff, puff, puff…hahahaha!”

However, no matter how Xier asked, Xiaoshi couldn't help but smile every time he was about to answer, and then he burst into laughter, which made Xier very confused.

"What on earth just happened..."

Xier didn't ask for the answer she wanted until she left the inn. She wanted to ask Fu Hua, but for some reason, she felt that if she asked, it would be the last sentence she would hear today. The sense of crisis in her heart finally stopped Xier from asking for her own death, and she finally gave up asking.

Fu Hua watched Xi'er from the corner of her eye. Seeing her trying to speak, but then stopping herself, and finally giving up, she slowly exhaled. She didn't know how she would answer if Xi'er really asked. Fortunately, this didn't happen.

When Fu Hua thought of what happened in the morning, she still felt her face getting hot, and she didn't know why.

(I will never be in the same room with her again)

Fu Hua thought so.

————————————————————————————

"Ok?"

Walking on the road to the post station, Xier looked around curiously. For some reason, the surrounding streets were very deserted, and even vendors were very few. This was not a normal thing in a prosperous city.

"Hey, have you heard? The entire Li family is dead. Even most of the guests who came to the banquet are dead, and the rest are in a coma."

"The Li family?"

"Oh, that Master Li, the one who once passed the martial arts exam and became the top scholar."

"Ah! It's him! How is this possible? It is said that his martial arts skills are very strong, and thirty or fifty people can't get close to him."

"Yes, but who could have thought that more than 30 people were killed or fainted, and no one survived. According to the nephew of my second uncle's sister-in-law's son's sister's uncle, the Li family seemed to have been poisoned. The dead had distorted faces and pale bodies with red lines on their bodies. The unconscious people looked similar, and some even went crazy.

"I also heard that the government has sealed off the surrounding area. No one can enter. Even if they get close, they will be driven away."

"Do you think it was done by a dead monster?"

"Nonsense, how could there be monsters in our place? If there were, none of us would be able to escape."

"..."

Xier listened to the discussion of the group of people, and her expression gradually became strange. The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. The symptoms of those people seemed to be corroded by Honkai. She turned to look at Fu Hua, but found that she also looked solemn.

"Master, that group of people..."

"I know."

Fu Hua nodded and said, "It looks like he's been possessed by a demon."

"But that's not right... It is said that the head of that family is a martial arts champion. Even if he is old, he won't degenerate to the point where he can be killed at will."

"And that instant of excessive erosion is like..."

Xier paused for a moment before continuing, "It's like a collapse."

"You're right."

Fu Hua confirmed Xier's guess, and she had a similar idea.

"Let's go and take a look."

Fu Hua turned and walked towards the crime scene.

"Ah? But... Master, where are you?"

"It doesn't matter. The things I have left can still last for a few days. Let's deal with the things in front of us first."

As she spoke, Fu Hua used her body skills to walk towards where the Li family was. Although she was walking, Fu Hua's body was moving at an incredible speed. She quickly passed through the crowd and headed straight for her destination, and the people around her didn't even notice that someone was passing by.

"Hey? Master, wait for me! I don't know how to do Qinggong yet!"

However, Fu Hua left, and Xier stayed where she was. Fu Hua's lightness skills had not been passed on to Xier yet, and Xier, who did not want to expose her magic, could only rely on her physical fitness to force her way through the crowd and catch up with Fu Hua.

Chapter 18: Incident (II)

After finally catching up with Fu Hua, Xier and Fu Hua arrived side by side outside the government's blockade area.

The government officials sealed off the area tightly. More than a dozen soldiers formed a circle around the gate, and there were more patrolling people around. It seemed that the government was taking this incident very seriously.

"Fellow villagers, please don't get close to here. It's very dangerous."

A man dressed as a scholar was standing among the officers and soldiers, advising those who wanted to come over to watch the fun. However, his words had no deterrent effect at all. Those who wanted to watch the fun did not take him seriously at all and still kept coming over.

"Mr. Cai, I told you that you can't use that method to deal with them."

Another man dressed as a military general stood aside with his arms folded, looking coldly at those who came over.

"Just look at mine."

"Eh, okay."

Seeing that his advice was ineffective, Mr. Cai did not try again, but silently gave the main seat to the general.

The general strode up to those people, grabbed the spears from his subordinates, and stood in front of them with a menacing look.

The onlookers were all shocked by his aura. They were all civilians who had never practiced martial arts or served in the army. How could they withstand the aura of a military general?

The general didn't say much, just raised his hand and thrust the spear into the ground. The iron spear head actually sank straight into the bluestone slab on the ground, just like a knife piercing tofu. He dragged the spear hard with one hand, leaving a long mark on the ground.

"Whoever dares to cross this line, we'll see you in jail."
