It was said that the couple had been seen in the area of the Demon Cloud Forest.
At the same time, Mo Qi was informed that the legend of the Demon King of Spirit Mountain emerging was true, and it would happen in half a month.
Mo Qi thanked them and immediately went to find Shui Han.
Shui Han also had a private room.
When Mo Qi went to find her, she was bathing. Mo Qi pushed the door open and went straight in.
Their eyes met!
Cold light flashed.
Mo Qi immediately retreated and closed the door behind him.
His heart pounded like a drum; he felt he was doomed!
"Why didn't you lock the door?" Mo Qi complained.
Inside, there was silence, like the calm before a storm!
This made Mo Qi's heart clench!
He didn't know what consequences awaited him!
Would they gouge out his eyes?
Or kill him outright?
If he had a choice, he would prefer to be killed outright!
He wanted to just leave, but he felt that would be too cowardly!
Finally, he hardened his heart and decided to wait for death!
The heavens are unpredictable, and fortune and misfortune are fleeting. Who could have predicted he would run into this?
A moment later, the door opened.
Shui Han was wearing a goose-yellow ruqun, her hair still damp and cascading over her shoulders. She looked like a lotus emerging from water, pure and ethereal.
Her eyes, filled with a cold glint, stared at Mo Qi like swords.
Mo Qi felt a sense of relief; it seemed what was coming had to come!
"Kill me or torture me as you please, but don't gouge out my eyes," Mo Qi said with tragic resolve.
Shui Han asked coldly, "Did you see anything?"
Mo Qi frowned. He hadn't seen anything, had he?
"I saw your face!" Mo Qi replied.
"Then why are you so nervous?" Shui Han asked calmly.
Mo Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not nervousness, I was afraid you'd misunderstand."
However, he didn't understand why Shui Han believed him so easily.
Did she believe him just because he said he didn't see anything?
Was she not deliberately giving him an out?
Shui Han seemed unwilling to discuss the matter further and asked, "What did you want to see me about?"
Mo Qi said, "I asked for you. Someone saw those two in the Demon Cloud Forest."
Shui Han continued, "How do we get to the Demon Cloud Forest?"
Mo Qi was momentarily stunned. He hadn't been there!
"Then let's find someone to guide us," Mo Qi said after thinking for a moment.
"I'm going alone," Shui Han stated decisively.
"You don't know how to ask for directions, you'll get lost," Mo Qi said.
Shui Han fell silent.
A moment later, she said, "You can accompany me, but you cannot act. I must deal with them personally."
"I know you can handle them, why would I interfere?" Mo Qi replied.
Shui Han said nothing more. Mo Qi went back and called Ye Zhixun, and the two of them went to Shui Han's door.
Shui Han glared at Mo Qi.
That look held many meanings.
*You don't trust my strength, so you found someone so powerful to guide me.*
*And such a powerful person isn't staying to guard the army but is accompanying me to handle my personal affairs. You really think highly of me!*
Mo Qi smiled. "We're only responsible for guiding the way. We won't interfere with anything else."
Shui Han glanced at him. "With him, guiding the way is enough. Why are you coming along?"
Mo Qi paused and looked at Ye Zhixun.
Ye Zhixun had a cold expression. After a long pause, he slowly said, "I only know the way there, not the way back."
Mo Qi made a gesture. Good, he was on the same page!
He then turned to Shui Han. "As for me, once I've walked the path, I'll definitely be able to find my way back, compensating for his inherent weakness."
They went back and forth, speaking nonsense with a straight face, and they spoke with conviction.
Shui Han almost couldn't hold back a laugh, but she managed to suppress it. She glared at Mo Qi again and turned to leave.
Mo Qi and Ye Zhixun immediately followed.
In the Demon Cloud Forest, Qiu Li Niang and Cen Wan Tu were wandering around, looking for targets.
Since they had tasted success last time, they had returned to their old ways.
Mo Qi and Ye Zhixun indeed stopped at the edge of the forest.
Shui Han walked in alone!
After walking for a while, she felt a bit lost again!
She also felt a bit dizzy and disoriented!
She couldn't help but feel a little panicked!
She should have asked them to come along.
But it was too late to go back now.
Even if she wanted to go back, she couldn't find the way!
Almost in tears, she could only walk aimlessly!
A moment later, Cen Wan Tu spotted Shui Han. However, Shui Han was in the open, while he was hidden.
Therefore, Cen Wan Tu was ecstatic. He thought that waiting by the roadside for a rabbit was indeed a good decision.
But when he saw Shui Han's face clearly, he was greatly shocked.
Hadn't she been captured and taken to the North Gully mine?
How could she be here?
Was the rumor that the North Gully mine had been occupied by miners true?
But hadn't they been poisoned by the Sparrow Fragment Spirit Stone?
If that were the case, how did they detoxify themselves?
Or, perhaps they hadn't detoxified and were simply throwing caution to the wind?
Besides the shock, he felt a trace of joy in his heart.
Could this be fate?
But why was she here?
Was she here for revenge?
Revenge? Let's see if I don't have some fun with you.
Cen Wan Tu's lust was aroused. He concealed himself and quietly approached Shui Han.
He thought that Shui Han, being poisoned by the miasma, wouldn't easily detect him.
He was quite confident in his invisibility technique.
As he got closer and closer to Shui Han, almost reaching her back, she still seemed unaware, which made him incredibly excited.
Looking at Shui Han's perfect figure.
He couldn't help but reach out his only hand, his left hand.
He reached out towards Shui Han.
Without any warning, Shui Han suddenly turned around, and a cold light flashed. Cen Wan Tu instinctively dodged to the side and retreated.
A stream of blood shot up, cutting through the air.
Cen Wan Tu let out a scream, revealing his true form, and fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
A conspicuous gash ran from his left shoulder to his buttocks, and blood flowed profusely.
This scream caught Mo Qi's attention. Mo Qi hastily leaped up and headed into the forest.
Ye Zhixun also immediately followed.
Shui Han looked at Cen Wan Tu, who was screaming in pain on the ground, her face impassive. She slowly raised her right hand, preparing to finish him off.
At this moment, a rapid drumbeat echoed through the air.
The drumbeat was not loud, but it pierced the ears and struck the heart.
Mo Qi entered the forest and got lost before long. He heard the drumbeat and ran towards the sound.
The drumbeat was clear and dynamic, with distinct rhythms, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.
But to Shui Han, it was particularly jarring.
Especially something within her seemed to be awakened, surging and tearing at her.
The sensation was like a thousand knives piercing her heart. Shui Han couldn't help but writhe in pain on the ground.
Qiu Li Niang's figure appeared on the scene. Her face was full of anger. She held a drum in her left hand and struck it repeatedly with her right. "I should have killed you last time."
She then looked at Cen Wan Tu, who was howling in pain on the ground. "You haven't changed your ways. This is your retribution."
Cen Wan Tu, still howling, crawled towards Qiu Li Niang. "Li Niang, quickly give me a healing pill. I'm in so much pain."
Qiu Li Niang scolded, "Who told you to be so foolish? You deserve this suffering, or you won't learn your lesson."
As she spoke, she dodged Cen Wan Tu's attempts to cling to her, pointed her hand, and a surge of dark energy shot towards Shui Han on the ground.
Shui Han rolled on the ground, using the opportunity to dodge the whistling dark energy.
With a thunderous roar, earth flew and stones scattered.
Amidst the flying dust, Shui Han dodged the fatal blow, but the edge of the dark energy still brushed against her body.
Multiple parts of her body were bloody and mangled.
However, at this moment, the pain from both inside and outside reached a kind of balance for her.
She actually felt a little better!
But at this moment, Qiu Li Niang sent another wave of dark energy without interruption, still whistling and surging, with a deafening roar that tore through space, striking towards Shui Han.
Shui Han could only continue to dodge by rolling, but her body was covered in wounds. Every roll was a heart-wrenching pain, and every roll was an insurmountable obstacle.
This torment was truly agonizing.
She almost wanted to give up!
Perhaps if she let herself be hit, she would be freed!
No more pain, no more worries, no more sorrow!
But for some reason, a trace of stubbornness made her persevere.
At this moment, what she thought of was that somewhat lewd face!
Perhaps it was this face that made her cling to life a little.
But it was so strange!
She clearly disliked him, even wanting to kill him. Why was she thinking of him now?
So, she endured the severe pain and dragged her exhausted body to dodge.
At this moment, Qiu Li Niang also saw her weakness and stubbornness, and a sinister smile appeared on her lips.
