Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 375: Chapter 314 The Beautiful River Fox_1

Li Xuan boarded the ship to Beijing around dusk.

Mostly because he was delayed at home. Upon hearing that he had been to Longhu Mountain for over a month and was now going to Beijing for his appointment, Mrs. Liu felt terribly heartbroken. She held Li Xuan’s hand, shedding endless tears, and no matter how much Li Xuan tried to soothe her, she just couldn’t stop crying.

Then Li Xuan had a thorough discussion with his father, Li Chengji, who had rushed home. The case of the East Palace was related to the foundation of the nation, which father and son couldn’t treat lightly.

After a lengthy dialogue between the father and son, Qiu Qianqiu came to visit.

By the time he finished seeing all the people he needed to meet in Nanjing, and organized everything that needed to be arranged, it was nearly dusk.

On the ship, Li Xuan waited for about half an hour before Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue finally arrived.

They were quite loyal. As soon as Li Xuan made his request, they agreed without hesitation to travel northward with him, ready to take on the dragon’s pool and tiger’s den of Beijing City.

Mainly because they were tired of Qinhuai River and wanted to experience the Eight Hutongs.

However, in Nanjing, the two also had many loose ends to tie up, for example, their sweethearts—

On the contrary, Luo Yan boarded the ship at around the same time as Li Xuan. After handing over the affairs of Mingyou City, she headed to the Viceroy’s Mansion, and then came to the dock seemingly absent-minded.

Yue Qianqian was surprisingly the most straightforward one. Her parents were traveling around the world, and her elder sister was serving her post overseas, so she only needed to pack her luggage and set off.

However, just as they were about to depart on the fast ship, a beautiful woman in fiery golden Liudao Fumo Armor rushed to the dock on horseback, calling Yue Qianqian back to shore.

"That’s Yue Qianqian’s elder sister, Fumo Xiaowei Yue Shishi."

Peng Fulai stood by the railing of the ship and looked down, "She’s serving at the Zhenmo Division in Wuyi Mountain, and she’s also an incredibly powerful woman. Not only is her cultivation strong, but she also has a bunch of extravagant magical implements. Look at her, including the Liudao Fumo Armor she’s wearing, all are high-grade magical instruments made by Mr. and Mrs. Yue, many from the Fourth Gate are not her opponents."

"Why don’t we guess what they’re talking about?"

Zhang Yue crossed his arms: "I bet twenty dimes that she certainly is advising Qianqian to stay away from Qianzhi."

Li Xuan didn’t dare to bet, he now recognized what kind of person he was.

However, on the dock, Yue Qianqian was surprised and looked at Yue Shishi in disbelief.

Yue Shishi sighed with a sorrowful face: "Silly girl, your heart is all on him, what else can I do? But I’m quite glad, at least that guy can protect you. I was so worried when I was in Wuyi Mountain, it was only after I rushed back that I found out you were okay."

She patted Yue Qianqian’s shoulder and said, "If you like him, don’t be afraid. Get closer to him. If you can’t muster up the courage, then keep doing what you’re doing now, stick with him, and help with the cases. That guy is eyeing you. As long as you keep hovering around him, he will sooner or later make his move.

"I know what kind of man Li Xuan is, he fancies himself as someone responsible. The weaker and more pitiful you are, the more he’ll hold you close and will not let you suffer."

Yue Qianqian’s face turned red: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

"I’m passing on the tricks!" Yue Shishi smiled complacently, and then handed a small Qiankun bag to Yue Qianqian’s hands: "Here, take this. Last month, our parents returned from Nanyang and wanted me to give you this Qiankun bag and the thing inside it, wear it on your body later."

"What is this?" Yue Qianqian held the small Qiankun bag with a look of surprise on her face.

"It is the ’Xuannv Zhengxian Armor,’ although it’s only four pieces including the inner armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, and skirt armor, they are all supreme magical implements, their godly power can compete with immortal treasures. Not only can they greatly enhance your ’Descendence’ technique, but they also require no mana.

"Do you remember the blood our dad withdrew from your body every year? It was used to refine this. Mom and Dad prepared this for a long time and went to many places. It wasn’t until last month that they finally completed this set of magical instruments."

Yue Shishi sighed, then squeezed Yue Qianqian’s chubby face hard: "You have no idea how much Mom and Dad love you. They sent us to live with others when we were little because they had no other choice. Since then, they have always been making it up to us. You must stop being angry at them, okay?"

Yue Qianqian shook her head, thinking that she was no longer a child to hold grudges against her parents.

She looked at the small Qiankun bag in her hand, and then at Li Xuan waiting on the ship. She suddenly looked forward to her life in Beijing.

※※※※

By the time the last shred of sunlight fell, the fast ship they were riding had entered the river near Yangzhou.

Li Xuan had already released the Huitun in Poyang Lake, and borrowed a new batch of Huitun from the Dragon King of Yangzhou Government. These new-mounted forces were pulling the ship, rushing into the canal like a gust of wind or flash of lightning.

At this time, the canal was still crowded, but their fast ship was smaller and could squeeze past the shorelines. Although the speed was not as fast as when Li Xuan was sailing down the Yangtze River, it could still rush thousands of miles a day.

The personnel at the water gates had already received the imperial decree sent by The Court, giving way all along the route.

At this moment, in the stern cabin of this fast ship, Li Xuan sat shirtless on one side, and on the other side was Jiang Hanyun. She kept her face veiled, and held the corner of her clothes in her hand, hesitating.

"What are you doing?" Li Xuan urged impatiently, "Hurry up and undress. Haven’t you seen me undress when you helped me with the Thunder Body Refinement before?"

Jiang Hanyun huffed angrily, thinking that this guy was really unpredictable and must have secretly peeped at her body before.

However, when Li Xuan said this, she let go of her shyness and took off her clothes and veil.

At first glance, Li Xuan was taken aback: "Turns out you aren’t half-demon."

He felt tricked. He had thought that Jiang Hanyun covered her face and hands because she was growing fox fur, but it turned out not to be the case.

Then Li Xuan stared at Jiang Hanyun’s face and her body, dumbfounded.

Even though Jiang Hanyun was not half-demon, she had changed greatly. Her skin was not only incredibly delicate and smooth, it seemed to be glowing.

Phrases like ’skin like gelatin, complexion like snow’, ’coarse pig-like skin’, ’thin waist like jade’, ’skin as clean as ice, clothes as colorful as clouds’, couldn’t describe a tenth of Jiang Hanyun’s beauty.

Her small face had also changed slightly, with better-refined features. The difference was hard to describe, but she was definitely at least twice as beautiful as before! You couldn’t take your eyes off her, and her autumn-like eyes would make you want to get lost in them.

In addition, the young girl emitted a faint scent. If you took a sniff, it would stir your mind and soul.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Jiang Hanyun’s voice was also incredibly mesmerizing. Her previous voice was already pleasant and soothing, but now it was even more soul-stirring.

Despite this, she was filled with embarrassment and said, "If you keep staring, I won’t practice with you!"

With great self-control, Li Xuan collected his wits. He looked at Jiang Hanyun seriously and said, "Why don’t you turn half-demon, Hanyun?"

Jiang Hanyun’s lips twitched, and then she silently picked up a knife from the side.

"Just kidding! Just kidding!"

Feeling Jiang Hanyun’s violent intentions, Li Xuan hurriedly laughed and said, "Let’s continue--"

However, it was hard for him to restrain himself next. Imagine having a naked, beautiful woman who’s several times more beautiful than those stars in front of you and not being able to do anything. It was painful.

Li Xuan was reciting the "Mind Cleansing Mantra" from Taoism: ’A clear heart is like water, clear waters are the heart. There’s no movement in a breeze, no ripples in the waves.’ But he found it was useless.

Having no other choice, he activated all 147 forms of the Cold Breath Fierce Palm to freeze himself. He had used this move to deal with Xue Yunrou in the South Jing Underground.

Jiang Hanyun ignored his icy form and cut open a slit between her brows, saying, "Let’s begin!"

Li Xuan also cut open a slit between his brows. With a wave of his Thunder Secret, the cinnabar in front of them turned into mercury. Then, a silver bridge formed between them.

Cinnabar, the most yang of substances, can repel any demon spirits. The emperor’s imperial decrees often use cinnabar or cinnabar ink.

And the mercury, which the cinnabar turns into, is the most yin of substances and can lead the yin gods, allowing their spirit souls to communicate.

At this time, the sulfur contained in the cinnabar spread around them. This ensured that no tricky spirits could disrupt or harm their yin gods.

The two of them had to undress entirely, signifying that there was no barrier between their bodies and minds. This was a ritual necessity.

Li Xuan quickly followed the steps of the magical instrument and exchanged the origin of the soul with Jiang Hanyun.

Luckily she remembered that this ship only had five cabins and the soundproofing wasn’t great. And Peng Fulai and the others were on the deck above, so she did her best to suppress her voice.

But that suppressed voice made the agony even more bone-deep.

Li Xuan thought that this felt similar to when he and Xue Yunrou did that thing, but it was like skipping the foreplay and going straight to the final stage.

After thinking about it, he ignored Jiang Hanyun’s request. He forcefully and brutally stuffed his own soul essence into her.

At this time, Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue, who were eavesdropping on the deck, looked at each other in surprise, trying to guess what the two were doing.

Luo Yan, who seemed uninterested and was sitting at the stern of the ship, had frost on her face. With a ’snap,’ she crushed the railing.
