Chapter 147 Sleepless Night
Nanzhou, Yiluo.
Chang family.
As the sky gradually darkened, the streets were brightly lit. Walking through the outer city and into the inner city of Yiluo, you could see all kinds of magnificent buildings.
Going west along the Central Trunk Road, right in front of you is a white wall built on the water, covered with black tiles, and the top of the wall is built into an undulating wave shape.
In the middle, a red-painted door was ajar, and the sound of piano and music could be heard faintly. On the door, a black plaque was inscribed with two large gold-plated characters: "Chang Mansion".
"Thank you, Lord Xie, for your advice. Chang Yun has offended you. Lord Xie, please go back and tell Lord Demon General that the Chang family will definitely give an explanation."
blah blah...
The sound of the crutch hitting the ground was crisp and rapid.
The old lady of the Chang family, supported by two maids, tremblingly walked Xie Lu to the gate of the mansion.
"A spy from Longhua Country? This is no small matter," Xie Lu said coldly, turning back. "The Chang family has been in Yiluo for so long, it's time for them to consider their position."
"Lord Xie is absolutely right," Madam Chang said with a light cough. "I will call Chang Yun back tomorrow and bring her to the Demon General to question him."
Only when Xie Lu disappeared from view did Old Lady Chang suddenly start coughing.
"Old lady!"
The two maids panicked and hurried to support her.
Old Madam Chang stretched out her hand to stop their actions, and looked indifferently in the direction where Xie Lu left.
"This is forcing the Chang family to take sides..." said Old Madam Chang in her old voice.
"Should we notify Miss Six to come back?" asked the maid.
"I'm going, but I'm not going to inform her to come back," Madam Chang waved her hand. "Go and find out who that person from Longhua Country is. Why would the demon cultivators be so wary of him?"
"promise."
The maid then left.
Old Madam Chang looked up at the sky. The sky in Yiluo was as gloomy as water, as if a huge storm was brewing.
"Pear blossoms." Old Madam Chang spoke.
"Madam, I'm here." The maid named Lihua responded crisply.
"I have given birth to seven children in my life, but this is the only one I can rely on." Old Madam Chang said in an old voice.
"The old lady is talking nonsense again. Aren't there still the third and fourth young ladies?" Lihua asked.
"They're all unreliable. They're all unreliable." Old Madam Chang sighed.
She turned her head to look at Lihua's face. That young face reminded her of her own youth.
"Old lady?"
Lihua felt a little embarrassed by the old lady's stare and asked softly.
"Girl, if the Chang Mansion is gone one day, you should go to Chang Yun," Old Madam Chang sighed, "She has the least involvement with the Chang Mansion, unlike the third and fourth brothers—"
Mrs. Chang's voice suddenly choked.
Lihua hurriedly asked worriedly, "What is the old lady talking about? Isn't he fine?"
"Girl, get ready early," Old Madam Chang said slowly, "I'm afraid the weather in Yiluo is about to change."
Yiluo City is destined to have a sleepless night tonight.
The Chang Mansion was still making plans for a change in its layout, but the area outside the Wenxiang Pavilion was already shrouded in gloom.
The female devil stood alone outside the door of the pavilion, staring at the window on the second floor.
The other female guests around felt the aura coming from the female devil and moved away from her. The sharp-eyed demon cultivators didn't even dare to breathe and moved away from her in fear.
"Sister, are you here for tea, a play, or to spend the night?" The masked man came forward and spoke softly.
The female devil curled her lips slightly, stretched out her finger and pointed it at his forehead, and instantly pierced his head.
puff-
The masked man widened his eyes in disbelief. Through the bloody hole, yellow-white sticky brain matter flowed along his hairline to the ground.
"..."
There was no emotion on the devil's face. She retracted her finger and continued walking barefoot into the pavilion.
There was silence.
It was not until she stepped into the Fragrance Pavilion that people reacted and screamed in shock.
"Kill...kill!"
"Life is dead!"
The female devil frowned and said, "It's so noisy." After that, she snapped her fingers again, and in an instant, she took the lives of several people.
There was a sudden chaos in the Wenxiang Pavilion. The female guests and male favorites fled in all directions. The noisy movement quickly attracted Chang Yun's attention.
"Who is causing trouble in my Wenxiang Pavilion?"
Chang Yun walked out of the room while tidying her clothes, stood by the fence on the second floor, and looked at the red-veiled female devil.
Bai Xiao followed behind her, his eyelids were bruised, but he looked much better.
"What are you doing out here? Go back!" Chang Yun said angrily.
"We are already husband and wife. I can't ignore your affairs." Bai Xiao said, staring into Chang Yun's eyes.
Chang Yun blushed and immediately turned her head back, suppressing the throbbing in her heart and returning her gaze to the female devil.
After the two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, the female demon cultivator spoke first, "I heard that Wenxiang Pavilion was secretly harboring a spy from the Central Plains. I wanted to let your Chang family handle it yourselves, but the situation was urgent, so I came here in person to ask for the person."
"My Lord Demon General, I know nothing about what you are talking about. Is there any misunderstanding?" Chang Yun replied calmly.
"You... I have an impression of you," the devil girl said with a grin, "The male companion you sent a while ago was quite good, and I had a lot of fun with him."
Chang Yun remained silent, just holding the railing tightly with both hands.
Bai Xiao stood beside her, covered her palm with his hand, and comforted her quietly.
The female devil narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Xiao. That heroic face made her feel instantly in a good mood.
"So you've hidden this kind of high-quality stuff? I don't mind, so I'll take it all away today."
"you!"
Chang Yun was so angry that her face turned red. Due to the tyranny of the Jindan period, she did not dare to act rashly.
"Don't be impatient, deal with her first." Bai Xiao said softly, then looked at the arrogant female devil, "Are you the devil cultivator who invaded Yiluo?"
"Oh?"
The female devil immediately became interested.
"From what you said, you are not a Yiluo person."
"So what?" Bai Xiao said calmly, "He acts violently and treats human life as worthless. Anyone can kill him!"
"Hahahahahahaha!..." The female devil laughed wantonly, her red gauze trembling along with her soft breasts, emitting bursts of bloody smell.
"As expected of an upright cultivator from the Central Plains, even your conversation is so amusing." The female devil licked her lips and said, "I don't want to waste my breath with you. I'll leave the affairs of the Central Plains to your Chang family to resolve."
"I'm here tonight to take someone away. Obediently make way for me and I'll spare your lives."
"You want someone?" Chang Yun frowned. "Who do you want?"
The tip of the female devil's nose trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her hand and pointed to the room inside the second floor. The perceptive cultivators could sense that countless spiritual powers were leaking out from the door.
That is……
Lu Yuguan's room?!
Chang Yun suddenly felt something was wrong. Although she didn't know where the evil cultivator had targeted that boy, now that all the conflicts had been resolved, they were all in the same boat.
What's more, he is Bai Xiao's biological brother. No matter what she says, she will never hand him over.
"Is it Yuguan's room?" Bai Xiao also felt the breath of his third brother, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Chang Yun faced the female devil and said in a deep voice, "Don't even think about it."
The female devil's eyes flashed, and she slowly said, "In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless—"
Chang Yun was about to reply, but unexpectedly Chen Xian pushed open his door. He was rubbing his eyes drowsily, obviously having just been woken up.
"What's all the fuss?"
"You're not letting anyone sleep anymore!"
