Painted Skin Ghost: "But, but, according to the rules, the newlyweds can't see each other before the wedding ceremony."
Hua Tingxuan tightened his five fingers.
Painted Skin Ghost: "—I will take you there right away!"
The hot spring was filled with steam and jagged rocks. A circle of headless ghosts holding steel forks stood outside. The Painted Skin Ghost pinched the hem of her skirt by the pool and said cautiously, "I really don't know where he is. I didn't send him here..."
This bathing pool is endless, and there are at least dozens of brides in it. Even if the headless ghost can't see or hear, the brides will scream if they are harassed!
What's more, there are restrictions in the Luofeng Secret Realm, and these Jindan-stage cultivators cannot use their spiritual sense without permission in the Youquan Palace.
Little did people know that Boss Hua was not an ordinary "Golden Core Monk" and had been suppressing his cultivation for many years.
He suddenly spread out his spiritual sense, and in an instant, he found his junior brother.
Chu Danfeng huddled in the water like a quail. A female cultivator, separated from her by a stone, softly called out "Sister".
"Sister, I'm coming over here."
When Chu Danfeng heard the sound of water, he was so frightened that he shrank into the water and didn't move, wishing he could bury his head in it.
"Why are you still wearing clothes while bathing?" The ugly girl laughed, "We are all girls, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, just turn around."
Chu Danfeng turned his back to her, curled up like a quail, and thought to himself: If I turn around, you will probably beat me to death with that nine-section whip and then dig out my eyes.
Seeing that he didn't move, the ugly girl simply took action and accidentally knocked off Chu Danfeng's bathrobe: "Don't be shy - ah, sister, your body is really slippery..."
Chu Danfeng was already considering the feasibility of knocking her out. At this moment, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and a strong arm was wrapped around his waist, and he was lifted up horizontally.
"Who!" Chu Danfeng couldn't help but exclaimed, and almost summoned his natal peach blossom fan. Fortunately, the next moment, he saw Hua Tingxuan's face clearly.
He let out a long sigh, but before he could relax, he heard the ugly woman behind him exclaim in a low voice: "You... are not a woman!"
Chu Danfeng: “!!!”
Oh no, I just spoke in a panic and she found out!
There was a sound of water behind him, as if the ugly woman was climbing up the shore. Chu Danfeng was extremely worried, and he cried out in his heart, "I'm done for!" If she caught up with him, she would definitely recognize him.
Very good, not only am I a pervert who wears women's clothes, but I am also a pervert who sneaks into the women's bathhouse. If this reputation gets out, I'm afraid that the master will clean up the mess himself.
Hua Tingxuan tightened his arms and whispered in Chu Danfeng's ear: "Don't be afraid."
Chu Danfeng: "How did you find me?"
"I met a 'helpful painted-skin ghost.'" Hua Tingxuan said lightly, but his feet were fast, walking on the water without making any sound. After a few breaths, Hua Tingxuan placed Chu Danfeng in a hot spring surrounded by rocks, set up a barrier, and disappeared in a flash.
Chu Danfeng could not see anything inside the barrier, but he did not dare to act rashly.
Outside the barrier, Hua Tingxuan lazily leaned against the reef, the hot spring water wet his shirt hem, sticking to his slender legs. He had a natural casual arrogance, a kind of masculine charm with overflowing hormones, but unfortunately the words he said deserved a beating: "No need to cover it, there's nothing to see."
The ugly girl opposite paused while adjusting her bathrobe, her ears turned red with anger, but her ugly face didn't change at all.
If you look closely, you can see a unique pattern at the collar of her bathrobe - it is the iconic birthmark of Qi Wanglan, one of the heroines in the original novel and the young master of Bixia Pavilion. The original novel describes the birthmark on her chest in great detail, and the scene of how the male protagonist discovers the birthmark is even more charming.
However, Hua Da Lao himself obviously had no interest in watching it carefully and even made sarcastic remarks.
Qi Wanglan did not argue with him and went straight to the point: "Was that person Chu Danfeng just now? I recognized his voice."
Hua Tingxuan raised his chin: "So what? Master Qi."
Qi Wanglan: “!!!”
Qi Wanglan narrowed her eyes: "How did you know my identity?"
Hua Tingxuan murmured: "After two lifetimes, I still like to act ugly. How boring..."
"I should have killed you, but the rule that 'only dead people won't cause trouble' doesn't apply here." Hua Tingxuan said regretfully.
Qi Wanglan thought to herself that it was not good, but unfortunately she was on guard and was no faster than Hua Tingxuan's hand. She only felt a pain on her face, and the layer of □□ that was made with a unique secret method was easily torn off, revealing a pretty face.
Hua Tingxuan said, "You deliberately revealed your true face in front of others, entered Youquan Palace with great fanfare, and then put on an ugly mask... What do you want to do?"
Qi Wanglan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Hua Tingxuan sneered: "I am not interested in listening either. I will go find Dan Feng, you can do whatever you want."
He guessed that Qi Wanglan would not dare to show her true identity as the young master of Bixia Pavilion again, so he went back to find Chu Danfeng in a swagger.
Sure enough, Qi Wanglan stood behind him, hesitated for a moment, stomped her feet, picked up the damaged □□, covered her face, and fled from the hot spring.
Chu Danfeng was extremely worried inside the barrier, fearing that he would be recognized by the ugly woman, or that he would make some noise and disturb the ghost marriage ceremony - he hadn't found Fang Qingya yet.
When Hua Tingxuan turned back, he saw Chu Danfeng standing up, dripping wet, with long hair scattered randomly, the ends of her hair and thick eyelashes all wet, her dark eyes looking at him and asking, "How is it?"
He had only seen his back just now, and then he carried the person here, and was in a hurry to deal with Qi Wanglan. Now, Hua Tingxuan saw Danfeng's face clearly.
She has black hair, fair skin, red lips, and a peach blossom hairpin on her forehead.
Seeing him in a daze, Chu Danfeng became more and more worried and asked, "Could something have happened?"
Hua Tingxuan suddenly came to his senses and said, "No, I have sent her away."
Chu Danfeng: "Did she recognize me? I've met her a few times before, I wonder if she would recognize my voice."
This reef surrounded the hot spring and was surrounded by a barrier set up by Hua Tingxuan, forming a small world of its own. The two were very close to each other, and he could feel Chu Danfeng's body fragrance with every breath he took, the kind of lustful and sweet smell that was unique to the body of a cauldron.
"So what if she was recognized? She's just a nobody." Hua Tingxuan said in a hoarse voice.
Chu Danfeng sighed sadly: "Forget it, there might be some fighting at tonight's ceremony, and I will be recognized sooner or later. Let everyone see me like this... Damn it, isn't it disgusting?"
"No, it's beautiful."
A bubble teapot is good looking! A man wearing women's clothes is called a shemale.
Chu Danfeng became even more frustrated: "Just try to comfort me..."
"Really? I'm not lying to you." Hua Tingxuan suddenly grabbed Chu Danfeng's hand, "If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you."
Chu Danfeng blinked and asked blankly: "Proof?" Prove what? How to prove it
Hua Tingxuan stepped forward, guided his hand, and pressed it under her belly, "That proves that I didn't lie, right? You look really good in this costume—"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Danfeng retracted his hand as if he had been burned, and raised his knee, wanting to give the gangster a kick that would kill him, but Hua Tingxuan was very fast, and he moved silently to the other side in the water, saying shamelessly: "Junior Brother, please spare it."
Chu Danfeng was so angry that his face turned red.
"Hua Ting Xuan! Do you... do you still have any shame?"
Where on earth did that obedient and shy junior apprentice go!!! Why did he become so wild after he ‘got wise’? And wasn’t he the one below? Why was he so excited about women’s clothing
Hua Tingxuan said confidently: "If you want to be shameless, you can't get the little senior brother. Xuan'er is shameless, so he wants the little senior brother."
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Chu Danfeng was speechless, suspecting that his blood pressure had soared to 180. He wondered if there was any special elixir for heart disease in the cultivation world
Then Hua Tingxuan finally said something sensible, pulling the strange atmosphere back on track: "Junior Brother, I found Fang Qingya, in this pool of water."
Chu Danfeng immediately stopped pursuing his junior brother's offense and said hurriedly, "Did you see clearly? Is it really him? Let's not delay!"
Hua Tingxuan: "Follow me."
Fang Qingya was quite far away, and it took about crossing the entire huge hot spring pool. Hua Tingxuan quietly released his spiritual sense and found a safe route, cleverly avoiding people. Chu Danfeng didn't know this reason, and didn't dare to look up all the way, for fear of offending the strange female cultivator. However, he didn't know that Hua Tingxuan took the opportunity to look at him all the way, and he had a good feast for his eyes.
The wet and thin bathrobe stuck to her body, almost transparent. Her long hair fell to her waist, revealing a slender waist and hip curves. The water just reached her thighs, and the hem of the bathrobe floated up, hanging on her smile line.
The junior brother is always very nice to others. Even in such a "cheap" environment, he can refrain from looking at anything inappropriate. He is a true gentleman.
Little did he know that he was the most attractive one.
"I see!" Chu Danfeng cheered in a low voice.
Fourth senior brother Fang Qingya, whom I hadn't seen for many days, was indeed right in front of me.
He was hiding in a narrow rock, also wearing a bathrobe. When he saw Chu Danfeng, they were both stunned.
Fang Qingya's hair had been combed into a young woman's bun, and his face was smeared with rouge and powder, but the lines of his face were not as soft as Chu Danfeng's, and there were obvious signs of him being a man dressed as a woman.
Fang Qingya stared at Chu Danfeng for a while, his face slowly turned red, but he still said with a stern face: "You, why are you dressed like this? How can you be so indecent!"
Chu Danfeng: “…”
“Hahahaha—” Chu Danfeng quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, “Fourth Senior Brother, hahaha… How dare you say that to me?”
Fang Qingya's face turned even redder, and he became a little angry and embarrassed. "I was forced to do this, why did you do this?"
Chu Danfeng: "Isn't it to save you? There is no time to lose, come with us."
Fang Qingya shook his head: "No, you can't leave now."
Chu Danfeng: “?”
Fang Qingya looked around cautiously, and Hua Tingxuan saw this and waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier.
Fang Qingya was surprised and said, "Sixth Junior Brother has made progress again. He can even set up a barrier here."
But he didn't dare to delay, and without further inquiry, he went straight to the point: "There is something strange about this ghost marriage ceremony. Have you heard of the 'Soul Writing Pearl'?"
Chu Danfeng nodded: "Everyone came to Hengha Lane for this rare treasure."
"What kind of treasure is this?" Fang Qingya sneered. "A dragnet is more like a net. This place is dangerous. Xiaowu, Laoliu, you are different from me. Take this opportunity to leave quickly and don't wade into this muddy water."
Chu Danfeng frowned: "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together. Why would I leave you to escape alone? We're brothers from the same sect, so what's the difference?"
Fang Qingya sneered: "Of course it's different. You are all the pride of heaven, the pride of Lixu Peak and even Shuangji Sect, not like a loser like me..."
"That's enough," Hua Tingxuan said, "I don't know when Junior Brother has ever offended you. You are always so sarcastic towards him. He has been looking for you all the way. Do you know how many dangers he has encountered? In order to save you, he is even willing to dress up as a bride and even sacrifice himself to marry me!"
Chu Danfeng: “…” Although Sixth Junior Brother was speaking up for himself, it somehow sounded a bit sour, as if he was taking the opportunity to express his grievances in a roundabout way.
Chu Danfeng felt embarrassed when he heard this.
Fang Qingya took Hua Tingxuan's words to heart and said, "I, didn't mean to..."
"Forget it," Chu Danfeng interrupted him, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Even if you want to figure out the conspiracy here, we have to work out a foolproof plan to get out of this."
In fact, Chu Danfeng was not like what Hua Tingxuan said, just for the so-called fellow-disciple feelings. It was just that Fang Qingya was kidnapped by the man in the bamboo hat in order to save him. He was lazy by nature and did not dare to distinguish between gratitude and resentment, but he knew the meaning of the word "repaying kindness". He always remembered the kindness others showed him.
Fang Qingya: "Actually, even if I go with you, I can't get away. That person... he won't let me go. This is for you."
Fang Qingya actually carried a storage ring with him, and he took out a small purple crystal bottle engraved with runes from it.
"This bottle..." It looks so familiar! Isn't it the one that the ghost cultivator Ruan Fu wore close to his body
Ruan Fu and his second senior sister Ye Bailu had an ill-fated relationship. In order to get Ye Bailu back, he ran to the territory of Shuangji Sect and sold a painting of "Four Beauties" to Qingfeng, the male brothel owner of Jinxiu Tower. The people in the painting were laughing, scolding, and looked no different from living people. They were all living souls.
Hua Tingxuan said: "Flying Smoke Bottle."
Fang Qingya: "Yes, this was stolen from that person. This thing can absorb people's souls. It is very evil. It is an extremely powerful magic weapon. I don't know how many such evil things they have. Tomorrow's ceremony is not something we can deal with. So if I ask you to leave quickly, it is not said in anger. If you have a chance, get away and bring it back to the sect, report to the master and the head..."
"It's getting late, brides, hurry up!"
"It's getting late, brides, hurry up!"
Countless female ghosts sobbed in unison. The ghost's night cries came from all directions, as if urging people to die. Even the headless ghosts guarding the surroundings became restless.
Fang Qingya urged, "Let's go, if we delay something bad may happen."
After seeing Fang Qingya off, Chu Danfeng was a little shaken. "If the Feiyanping is really as powerful as Fourth Senior Brother said, then we..." Insisting on staying to save people, isn't it a bit overestimating our own abilities
"Don't be afraid," Hua Tingxuan used a small magic to dry the wet bathrobe that was clinging to Chu Danfeng's body, "The flying smoke bottle is not that evil, it's just a trifle."
The Hua boss who had dominated two lives did not lie. The Feiyanping could steal people's essence and refine their souls, which was extremely evil. However, in the eyes of him, the "maker", it was nothing more than a trivial skill.
"Go back. The ghost marriage ceremony will probably be held in a few moments. We will act accordingly. By then..."
His words stopped abruptly, and Chu Danfeng asked: "What will happen then?"
Hua Tingxuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm urging you to put on your makeup. Go and get ready to get on the sedan chair."
When we worship heaven and earth at that time, even if you give me a status, I will not be able to escape.
