I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

"Aunt Yun, I didn't mean it." Zhao Kangping said apologetically while standing in front of the door.

He just took a quick glance and didn't even look closely, but he was slapped twice.

But he also knew that his behavior was somewhat offensive.

Most women in this world are still conservative.

Although Aunt Yun was more than two hundred years older than him, she was still an inexperienced young girl.

She would still feel ashamed if others saw her in an indecent state.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" the white-haired girl asked curiously.

Zhao Kangping covered his face. He was a little embarrassed to let the girl see him being embarrassed, so he deliberately turned sideways and said in a pretentious manner: "It's nothing. If it's none of your business, don't ask too much."

"Oh." The girl didn't ask any more questions.

She was actually quite intelligent and knew better than to be overly curious.

Zhao Kangping saw that the food on the long table in the yard had been eaten up completely. He was such a big eater.

Fortunately, he had some savings, otherwise how could he afford to support her.

And in the room.

Nangong Ruyun changed into a new set of clothes, but there was still a slight blush on her face.

She had just sweated a lot, and the place where she had sat before was soaked with water stains.

Looking at the sweat, she realized that she had wronged Ping'er.

If she hadn't sweated so much, her clothes wouldn't have been so wet.

She tested the cold poison in her body.

The cold poison crystals in the body have decreased by about 20%.

This number may not seem like much, but it was a surprise to her.

Because before, the number of cold poison crystals in her body only increased but never decreased.

Even if the cold poison breaks out, the energy stored in the cold poison crystals will only be released in the form of a large amount of cold air, rather than expelling the cold poison crystals from the body.

In fact, her condition yesterday was very dangerous. She was discovered by Ping'er in the early stage of the cold poison outbreak and was treated.

Otherwise, if the cold air generated by the cold poison is allowed to escape, it will probably turn the land within ten miles into frozen soil.

After this treatment, the number of cold poison crystals pressing on her internal organs decreased, and the pain was reduced accordingly. She felt a lot more relaxed.

Although she was still some distance away from recovery, the feeling of physical improvement made her feel refreshed.

Ping'er was indeed the key to her treatment of the cold poison, and the comfort during the treatment was greater than the pain, although it was quite tiring for her underwear.

"I, I haven't thanked him yet." She regretted losing her temper with Ping'er just now, and even felt that she was an incompetent aunt.

You shouldn't have slapped him indiscriminately like that.

Then she hurried out of the house, wanting to apologize to him first and then thank him.

As the door opened, she saw the following scene.

Zhao Kangping was seen feeding the white-haired girl with red fruits.

He loosened his fingers, and the bright red fruit fell into the girl's open mouth.

There is nothing wrong with feeding a dog this way.

But he was feeding a girl, and the scene looked a bit weird.

To others, it looked like some kind of interest between a young couple.

boom!

Nangong Ruyun felt that she shouldn't appear in the yard and shouldn't disturb the young couple.

Although she didn't know who this girl was, their intimate behavior must mean they were closely related.

Zhao Kangping also noticed that Aunt Yun had just opened the door and then quickly closed it.

I don't understand what's wrong with her. Maybe she's still mad.

He knew that he couldn't blame her, after all, he couldn't control his eyes.

If it were some cruel-hearted female cultivator, she would probably kill the person directly if she was ruthless, or gouge out his eyes if she was mild.

Aunt Yun's two slaps were considered very light.

……

Luo Xueqing accepted a bounty mission.

The Ouyang family in the southern part of Chuanliu City lost most of their family property in the recent turmoil, and more than half of their family members were killed or injured.

However, the house leaked and it rained all night.

The next heir chosen by the Ouyang family disappeared yesterday.

The missing person is a woman named Ouyang Jin, who is only eighteen years old.

The Ouyang family was in dire straits, otherwise they would not have allowed a young girl to inherit the family.

Originally, it was not Ouyang Jin's turn to inherit the family business, as she had two older brothers and an older sister.

However, her father and two brothers died in the turmoil, and her elder sister had already married into another wealthy family, so she was the only one who could inherit the family business.

However, now even Ouyang Jin is missing, and the Ouyang family is in despair.

In order to find Ouyang Jin, their family issued a reward.

"How are you sure your young lady is still alive?" Luo Xueqing had already arrived at the dilapidated Ouyang family.

This was originally a prosperous family with four courtyards and many family businesses.

But all this came to nothing overnight.

Although their family compound had been repaired, due to insufficient funds, only a portion of the wall had been repaired. If someone wanted to enter, they didn't even have to go through the main gate; they could just come in through the gap in the wall.

The person who received Luo Xueqing was an old man who looked like a butler. He was only in the late stage of Qi training and probably had no hope of building a foundation in this lifetime.

The old man has been loyal to Ouyang Jin for most of his life, and has served this family since his predecessor was still a young master.

He had witnessed the glory of Ouyang Jin, and now he has also witnessed the decline of this family.

But he didn't want to watch his family fall apart before he stepped into the coffin.

The old man looked very old, and it was unclear whether he was already so old or because the Ouyang family had been hit hard by such a change.

"My young lady's spirit tablet is still intact, she must not be dead yet." The old man's eyes were almost buried in the wrinkles on his wrinkled face, but he still stood up straight, without the hunchback that is common at this age.

Luo Xueqing: "Can you tell me how you discovered your young lady was missing?"

The old housekeeper said, "Yesterday, the young lady was practicing swordplay in her courtyard, and her maid Xiao Cui was also there. However, Xiao Cui went to the toilet, and when she came back, the young lady was gone."

"At first we thought it was our rival family who wanted to defeat us, so they secretly sent people to sneak into our house and kidnap people. But it's almost nightfall today, and we haven't received any news."

"Even if they were kidnapped and held hostage, they should have contacted us long ago. But we haven't received any threatening letters or anything like that yet."

Luo Xueqing: "Can you take me to see where your young lady disappeared?"

"Of course you can." The old butler immediately asked someone to lead Luo Xueqing to the crime scene.

This is not just a simple missing persons case.

In fact, there have been many such cases in River City recently.

However, most of the people who disappeared before were ordinary people, insignificant mortals, so they did not attract attention.

But the person who disappeared this time was a cultivator with the strength of the middle stage of foundation building, so this must be taken seriously.

As soon as Luo Xueqing arrived, she found a well in the yard.

She recalled that most of the mortals who disappeared also disappeared near water sources, some near wells, and some near rivers.

The Holy Land suspects that it is related to the spore monsters that are still causing trouble in the city.

"Has anyone of you gone down into the well to take a look?" Luo Xueqing walked to the mouth of the well and looked down.

It was dark, and everything below was pitch black, impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.

"The well is very deep and we dare not go down," said the old housekeeper.

After hearing what he said, Luo Xueqing felt that this well was even more suspicious.

She probed her spiritual consciousness into the well.

The depths of the well were deeper than she had imagined.

"Hmm?" Luo Xueqing sensed some strange aura. These residual auras were very similar to the auras of the mushroom people on the day of the riot in Chuanliu City.

Chapter 178: Innate Sword Body, Altar

Chuanliu City was built on the bank of a big river called Ziyangchuan. Thanks to this, Chuanliu City also developed due to the prosperous river transportation.

However, Ziyang River not only brings convenience to river trade to Chuanliu City, but also brings abundant water resources.

River City has abundant underground water. Even though surrounding cities have experienced water shortages due to droughts, River City has never been short of water.

Luo Xueqing entered the underground water network of Chuanliu City through the Ouyang family's well.

This is a very deep underground area. The underground space is not completely filled with water. There are still many areas that are not flooded by water for people to walk.

It’s just that the ground is slippery, and if you’re not careful, you can easily slip into the water next to it.

Luo Xueqing discovered numerous traces of battle in the underground river. The mossy walls bore many sword marks, or traces of other magical attacks. There were also some rotting monster remains on the ground.

She had heard long ago that after the turmoil in Chuanliu City, many monks came in groups to clear out the spore monsters.

After many raids, the vast majority of these monsters have been eliminated, and incidents of monsters attacking people in the city have almost disappeared.

Just when everyone thought that everything would be quiet, a series of disappearances occurred recently.

A sphere emitting soft white light illuminated the surroundings brightly under the support of Luo Xueqing's spiritual power.

"footprint?"

She made a new discovery on the ground, which turned out to be a pair of very fresh footprints.

Judging from the size, it should be a man. The footprints are very deep, so this person must be very heavy, or he must be carrying something heavy.

“Quack~”

Suddenly, an ugly monster jumped out of the water.

It was a huge frog-like creature with four legs stretched out to more than two meters long. Its body was covered with fungus-like bumps. It was obvious at first glance that it was the spore monster that others had mentioned.

The giant frog jumped onto the shore and pounced towards Luo Xueqing without saying a word.

However, with a flash of the sharp sword light, the giant frog's body, broken into two pieces, fell back into the water.

The water surface immediately became restless. More monsters smelled the blood and swam towards the body of the strange frog.

They were ugly, large-mouthed fish, as ferocious as piranhas. Many of them gathered together, and the water seemed to boil, with white waves churning up.

Soon, the strange frog was eaten until not even a bone was left.

Luo Xueqing did not stop to look at these disgusting scenes.

She continued to move forward following the footprints.

But soon after she entered a fork in the road where there was no water, she felt a brief dizziness.

"Enchantment?"

As a fairy with rich experience in foreign training, she immediately figured out what was going on.

Although she herself did not learn formations, she had been with her master for many years and had learned some related knowledge.

A barrier can be considered a special type of formation. Unlike ordinary formations, a barrier does not have a core. It is not possible to destroy a barrier by simply destroying the core.

However, barriers are not without their shortcomings. For example, the functions of most barriers are relatively simple. Most of them are just to isolate a small space.
