Chapter 22: The Witch Missing Contact
Su Yun'er did not answer, but continued to laugh wildly; her mental state seemed to have become abnormal.
"Grandma will find you, Grandma will definitely find you, you're dead!" Su Yun'er said through gritted teeth.
However, her voice became softer and softer.
Finally, her head tilted, and she stopped abruptly.
This time, it wasn't an act; she was truly dead!
After death, she could no longer maintain her 'Human' form; a flash of light, and she returned to her true body.
Lu Bai looked at the fox corpse lying on the ground, recalling what Su Yun'er had just said.
Grandma?
Several pieces of information were revealed in her words: First, Su Yun'er was not alone; there was a Grandma behind her.
It could be confirmed that this Grandma's Dao cultivation was certainly higher than Su Yun'er's.
Su Yun'er had already Cultivated to the third layer of Qi Refining; could her Grandma be a strong practitioner in the Middle Stage or above?
Thinking of this, Lu Bai felt a sense of pressure.
Second, Su Yun'er said that her Grandma would definitely find him; how could she be so sure?
Was it her inner obsession? Or did she have some reliance?
Lu Bai was more inclined to the latter.
Foxes are very sensitive to scent; after his contact with Su Yun'er, would he leave her scent for a short period?
Or!
Lu Bai suddenly thought of the 'Demon Core' matter.
If mere contact could leave clues, let alone him eating her 'Demon Core'.
A strong sense of crisis arose in Lu Bai's heart, as if Su Yun'er's Grandma would jump out at any moment and take his life.
What the hell!
Taking a task to cure an illness, and it ended up involving so many things.
What to do?
Lu Bai pondered for a moment and decided to go out and contact You Lianruo first, summon the demoness, and deal with her Grandma!
Bypassing the screen, Lu Bai tested the barrier.
Hmm? It hasn't disappeared yet?
Su Yun'er was already dead, but the barrier was still there. Could it be that this barrier was not energy-based, but time-based?
Then let's wait!
After the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, a 'buzz' sound was heard, and Lu Bai's face lit up; the barrier should have disappeared.
Thump thump thump!
Before Lu Bai could go out, the Emperor and the Grand Eunuch came in.
The two had been waiting patiently outside at first, but as time went on, the Emperor began to get restless.
What were they doing?
Were they really just treating an illness?
No! I want to go in and see!
However, when the Emperor wanted to find out, he was blocked by a barrier.
The Emperor 's heart grew even more uneasy, and he even began to overthink.
Could it be that this Immortal saw her beauty and intended to do something inappropriate to Yun'er?
Otherwise, why would he set up a barrier?
After waiting for a long time in agony, the barrier finally disappeared, and the Emperor rushed in immediately, with the Grand Eunuch following closely behind.
Entering the room, the Emperor looked around.
He first looked at the cloud bed, but the cloud bed was already shattered, and other places were also a mess.
"Where is Yun'er?" He anxiously asked Lu Bai.
Lu Bai pointed to the ground.
At this moment, the Emperor and the Grand Eunuch saw the fox corpse.
What is this thing?
I heard that cultivators like to keep spiritual pets; could this be a spiritual pet? But why is it dead? They won't ask us for compensation, will they?
After the Emperor entered and saw the scene in the room, he instantly overturned his previous thoughts.
Their illicit affair couldn't have been this intense!
"It is your Yun'er!" Lu Bai said lightly.
"What?" The Emperor 's first reaction was confusion!
After two seconds of stunned, he realized what Lu Bai meant.
"Immortal, don't joke!" The Emperor 's mouth twitched uncontrollably; he was very displeased with Lu Bai's disrespectful behavior.
"I'm not joking." Lu Bai repeated in an extremely serious tone.
The Emperor fell silent.
He still didn't believe it!
Or rather, he was unwilling to believe it!
Could it be that he used some demonic art to turn my Yun'er into this?
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, the Grand Eunuch stepped forward and said: "The Immortal would not lie to us, Your Majesty. Think about it, why did the Empress use such a strong fragrance? Wasn't it to cover up…"
He didn't finish, but he believed the Emperor would understand.
Then, the Grand Eunuch recounted all of Su Yun'er's series of strange behaviors. In the past, it might not have seemed like anything, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed extremely bizarre!
"Ugh!"
The Emperor covered his mouth and ran out.
Lu Bai wanted to laugh inside!
Seeing the beauty he had been intimately involved with day and night suddenly turn into this, anyone would feel nauseous. But in fact, there's no need to be like this; after a Yao Race transforms, there's no difference from a Human Race; they can communicate normally.
"Thank you, Immortal, for eliminating this scourge for Songhe Country!" The Grand Eunuch bowed.
Lu Bai waved his hand.
Then, he asked some questions about Su Yun'er's situation.
The Grand Eunuch said that Su Yun'er was the daughter of a certain minister, so logically, she shouldn't have been transformed from a fox demon!
Lu Bai scoffed inwardly; the real Su Yun'er was probably long dead!
Boom!
Lu Bai flicked out a fireball, incinerating the fox corpse.
The fur, flesh, bones, etc., of the Yao Race are all excellent Materials for Artifact Refining and Alchemy, and can be exchanged for Spirit Stones. But Lu Bai dared not keep them, fearing that it would allow Su Yun'er's Grandma to find him faster, which would be more trouble than it was worth.
"The matter here is concluded. This Lu also needs to go to Yu Xiang Sect now. Farewell!" With that said, Lu Bai mounted his Flying Sword and left.
He deliberately left such a sentence.
If Su Yun'er's Grandma found this place and forced the Emperor and the Grand Eunuch to reveal his whereabouts, the two would definitely disclose it.
Then let her be misled to search in the direction of Yu Xiang Sect! It's perfectly opposite!
Of course, it might also be useless.
If the old woman could pinpoint him by scent or the 'Demon Core' aura, then no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Leaving the Imperial Palace, Lu Bai descended in a corner of the city, then pulled out his 'mandarin duck fish' sound transmission Magical Artifact.
He remembered that when he was enchanted by Su Yun'er, this Magical Artifact had cried out, waking him up!
Could it be that it was not just a communication tool, but also had a warning function?
Beep beep!
Lu Bai sent a signal to You Lianruo.
He hoped the demoness could arrive quickly so he would be safe.
However, the signal was sent, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response.
Lu Bai frowned.
Was the distance too far? Or did the demoness not hear it?
Beep beep beep! He sent a few more.
The result was still the same.
Lu Bai temporarily gave up; he put away the mandarin duck fish, a thoughtful expression on his face.
When the two separated, they agreed that Lu Bai would wait for her in the capital city of Songhe Country after completing his task.
But now, the situation had changed dramatically!
Staying here, Lu Bai faced high danger. Su Yun'er's Grandma would be able to find him directly if she came over.
And if he left, and You Lianruo happened to return, then the two would miss each other, and the situation wouldn't be much better. Lu Bai wanted to return to Xuanqing Sect, which required crossing a long distance, enough for the other party to catch up to him.
What to do?
It was truly a dilemma!
Demoness, oh demoness! Why don't you reply with a message!
If he could contact You Lianruo, and the two could re-agree on a meeting place, then the problem would be solved.
After weighing his options, Lu Bai decided to wait patiently for a while!
If he still couldn't contact her, he would leave.
One day passed.
Two days passed.
These two days, Lu Bai kept sending messages to You Lianruo, but he never received a response.
He was disheartened!
The demoness said she was just going to do a small errand. But now, it seemed she must have encountered an unexpected turn of events.
Lu Bai decided not to wait any longer!
After leaving the capital city of Songhe Country, Lu Bai set his direction towards Xuanqing Sect and rushed at full speed.
He hoped Su Yun'er's Grandma would discover her death later!
