Super détecteur de fantômes

Chapitre 72

So, it failed again?

Dieyi wiped the sweat from Shen Zhili's forehead with her sleeve and said kindly, "Miss, please bear with it for now. Wait until Young Master Hua's Gu poison has subsided... Ah, I almost forgot... Miss, I'll go check on Young Master Hua. You wait here and don't wander off..."

Before Shen Zhili could speak again, Dieyi lifted her skirt and ran towards Hua Jiuye's room...

...Whose maid are you anyway?!

Shen Zhili stood there helplessly, looking at the giant python that seemed to be sleeping soundly on her chest, and then at Dieyi's back, which had disappeared without a trace...

In the quiet night wind, she sighed deeply, feeling melancholy.

******************************************************************************

Looking up, the full moon in the sky suddenly appeared to be half-empty...

Shen Zhili stared intently...

The moon seems to be getting increasingly waning... and it even looks a bit reddish, how eerie...

Then, a red shadow flashed by.

"Am I seeing things?" Shen Zhili wondered silently.

Suddenly, the snake's head, which had been lying prostrate on its chest, abruptly rose up and struck Shen Zhili's chin.

Shen Zhili felt a sharp pain in her chin. Her hands and feet were bound inside the snake's body. As she struggled with this, she met a pair of beautiful, extremely arrogant eyes.

It is Ye Qianqian.

She wore a bright red bodysuit that accentuated her incredibly hot and sexy figure, revealing all her curves. Even Shen Zhili, a woman herself, couldn't help but swallow hard...

With a nine-ringed broadsword resting on her shoulder, Ye Qianqian pinched the body of the terrifyingly large python with just her fingers...

The giant python struggled desperately, but Ye Qianqian exerted force with her fingers, and the snake that was coiled around Shen Zhili was pulled out of her body and thrown away.

Shen Zhili followed the giant python around several times before slowly coming to a stop.

By the time she regained her footing, Hua Jiuye's beloved giant python, Xiao Hua, had already collapsed unconscious in the grass to one side.

...Such combat power is truly enviable!

Ye Qianqian glanced at Shen Zhili and said lightly, "Valley Master Shen, you seem to be in high spirits."

She still possessed an icy, stunningly beautiful appearance.

Shen Zhili didn't dislike Ye Qianqian, but she didn't particularly like her either... Of course, besides Su Chenche's influence, there was also the fact that, as a woman, Ye Qianqian's appearance was absolutely a public enemy...

After bowing and expressing his gratitude, Shen Zhili said, "Thank you for saving me. I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Ye Qianqian's tone was slightly impatient: "Stop, I need to talk to you."

Shen Zhili paused for a moment: "Is there anything you can do? ... I have something urgent to do."

Ye Qianqian: "How important is it?"

Shen Zhili said solemnly, "It's a matter of life and death."

Ye Qianqian: "How long?"

Shen Zhili: "Uh, not long... only an hour or two, very soon, really."

Ye Qianqian: "..."

Stepping in front of Shen Zhili, Ye Qianqian gripped her broadsword tightly and slashed it horizontally: "I don't have the patience to wait... I'll tell you my purpose directly."

Shen Zhili unconsciously swallowed again: "What?"

Ye Qianqian calmly said, "Option one: From today onwards, you and all the doctors in Huichun Valley are forbidden from treating any so-called righteous martial arts practitioners, or I will kill you; Option two: You come with me to Huichun Valley now, and I promise I won't harm a single hair on the head of anyone in Huichun Valley..."

Shen Zhili: "Ahem, are there three?"

Ye Qianqian's knife was brought towards Shen Zhili's neck. The incredibly heavy blade pressed down on Shen Zhili's shoulder, causing her to sag. She scratched her long, smooth, black hair and said, "No, I'll count to three and make a decision."

Shen Zhili: "Wait, wait, wait..."

Ye Qianqian: "One..."

Shen Zhili was exasperated: "Hey, hey, you can't do this to me, give me a little more time to think..."

Ye Qianqian said expressionlessly, "Two..."

Shen Zhili: "Slow down, how about two and a half?"

Ye Qianqian's tone softened: "Three..."

The blade resting on his shoulder gleamed with a sharp, cold light, seemingly already close to his neck. Shen Zhili growled, "I choose option two, but with an additional condition!!!"

Ye Qianqian: "What?"

Shen Zhili: "Wait for me for two hours... Also, from now on, send me back once every three months."

Ye Qianqian frowned: "No, that's too much trouble."

Shen Zhili lied without blinking: "You should be able to tell that I'm not in good health... If I don't come back once every three months, I'll die."

Ye Qianqian asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Shen Zhili: "If you don't believe me, go ask..."

Ye Qianqian interrupted her: "Forget it... hurry up and go. Two hours. If it's even a quarter of an hour later, I'll start killing people, do you hear me?"

Shen Zhili nodded and ran towards the cave.

No one stopped her, and she moved quickly, returning in just an hour and a half. However, Shen Zhili walked very slowly when she returned, her face pale and unsightly, with a hint of death, except for her eyes, which remained clear and bright as usual.

Ye Qianqian stood in her room with a knife in her hand, arms crossed, seemingly extremely impatient.

Shen Zhili smiled and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting..."

Ye Qianqian lowered her hand and exhaled: "Let's go."

"etc."

Ye Qianqian took a deep breath: "Is there anything else?"

Shen Zhili: "Uh... I'll leave a letter first, otherwise they'll worry."

After saying that, she quickly wrote a letter on the desk, put it in a snow-white envelope, closed and sealed it, and then wrote a line of small black characters on the envelope: Shen Zhili's letter.

After she put it down, Ye Qianqian's patience finally ran out. She wrapped a white silk ribbon around Shen Zhili's waist and used her lightness skill to fly away.

Spring Return Valley.

I left Spring Valley once again.

In the howling wind, Shen Zhili struggled to open her eyes, her chest heaving so badly she felt like vomiting.

Ye Qianqian stopped at the entrance of Huichun Valley, where a carriage was already waiting. She threw Shen Zhili into the carriage and then went out to pull the reins and start driving.

Although the carriage wasn't as comfortable as Shen Zhili's own, it was still passable.

Moreover, Ye Qianqian's driving skills were quite good, and the journey was very smooth.

Shen Zhili leaned against the carriage couch, patting her still-shaken chest. Just as she caught her breath, her expression suddenly hardened.

She made the decision so quickly that she barely had time to react, and only then did she remember something crucial...

Ye Qianqian and Su Chenche are former lovers.

The relationship is still not clearly explained; who knows the complexities of whether it's a lingering connection or not?

And she is now Su Chenche's sweetheart, cough cough...

From a certain perspective, they are absolute rivals in love...

If you, defenseless and helpless, are swept away by your love rival who possesses unparalleled martial arts skills and can crush you with a flick of his finger, what will happen next...?

Shen Zhili hurriedly climbed to the carriage door, lifted the curtain, and tentatively asked, "Um... Protector Ye, where do you plan to take me?"

The night breeze stirred Ye Qianqian's long hair, making her face even more beautiful as she danced. She parted her lips and uttered four words: "The headquarters of the Demonic Sect."

Chapter 59

Shen Zhili had long admired the Demonic Sect, but... she really didn't have a good impression of it. Almost subconsciously, she recalled those insidious wounds and shrill screams.

Silently, Shen Zhili closed his eyes briefly.

Her silence irritated Ye Qianqian: "Don't worry, I won't kill you now."

After saying just that one sentence, Ye Qianqian didn't say another word.

But... strangely enough, even though they were on opposing sides and rivals in love, Shen Zhili subconsciously believed Ye Qianqian's words.

...If she says she won't kill me, then she really won't.

...I always felt that this guy's words were more reliable than Su Chenche's.

It was clearly a bit difficult for the two women to move around, especially given Ye Qianqian's appearance.

Almost as soon as they arrived in a town and entered an inn for a meal, everyone's eyes would instantly turn to Ye Qianqian.

Soon after, young men with folding fans would come over and chat, feigning concern.

Most of the time, Ye Qianqian was wiping her terrifyingly large nine-ringed broadsword, ignoring the newcomers. Any young master with a modicum of self-awareness, seeing Ye Qianqian's attitude, would not make a fool of himself and would quietly sit back down.

Of course, there were also a few young masters who were thick-skinned and persistently tried to get close to Shen Zhili.

"Where are you two young ladies headed? Will you have anyone to look after you on the road? What if you encounter any villains?" The richly dressed young man asked with feigned concern. "My surname is Zhao, and I am from Huaizhou. I am escorting a shipment westward. I am traveling with several bodyguards from the Guanxi Escort Agency, so I believe we should be quite safe. I wonder if the young ladies..."

Shen Zhili pointed at Ye Qianqian and spread his hands: "She is my young lady, and she makes all the decisions. If you have any questions, young master, you should ask her."

"Is...is that so?"

Young Master Zhao drawled out his words, glancing shyly at Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian turned her head.

Young Master Zhao suddenly covered his mouth, concealing the barely suppressed smugness on his lips...

She looked at me! She looked at me!

"that……"

Ignoring Zhao Gongzi's words as if he were nothing, Ye Qianqian frowned: "Shopkeeper, why hasn't my order of strong liquor arrived yet!"

Then... he turned back to continue wiping his knife, completely ignoring Young Master Zhao.

Shen Zhili seemed to see the man's heart shatter into pieces in the wind...
