"Mr. Ji, who are those four people?"
Seeing Ji Yuan blew the people who had previously besieged him into ashes, Yan Fei couldn't help but ask.
However, before Ji Yuan could answer, the bull demon next to him started talking incessantly.
"Those four are no longer human. They were all drained of their essence by that bitch. Although their bodies appear to be alive, they have no feelings or consciousness, and only instinctive aggression. After a long time, when their bodies die, they will become corpses and become even more difficult to deal with. By then, they will probably be no different from zombies."
Yan Fei frowned and looked at his sword, thinking that it was no wonder that the four people were so strange. Then he suddenly remembered the original purpose of him and Ji Yuan chasing them out.
"Mr. Ji, so the perpetrator in the inn is the female monster just now?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan looked at the bull monster next to him.
"Hehe, haha... This brother is right, it's that stinky woman!"
The bull demon shamelessly made a conclusion. He glanced at Ji Yuan and found that the other party did not refute. Instead, he was calculating with his fingers with the newly collected hair, and then he started talking to Yan Fei very enthusiastically.
"My brother, you seem to be a mortal warrior. I, Old Niu, also like to wield spears and sticks. How about we get to know each other? My name is Niu Batian. How about it? I look impressive, right? What's your name?"
Although Yan Fei felt a little pressured, he still held the sword and bowed.
"Yan Fei."
"oh… "
The bull demon responded, then nodded and whispered in the direction of the golden-armored warrior.
"What about him? This guy also looks like someone who is not easy to mess with. He is also very cold. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't even blink. Just now, I saw that bitch had an arrogant attitude."
Yan Fei also looked at the warrior in golden armor and said after a moment of hesitation.
"Yan, I don't know either. I just heard Mr. Ji call him 'Li Shi'..."
Ji Yuan calculated for a long time, but his skills were still not good enough to calculate anything, so he could only put the things away helplessly.
He glanced at the Bull Demon and Yan Fei, and was a little surprised that this old bull could chat with Yan Fei like this.
"Let's go back to the city. Tonight's affairs are barely settled."
After saying that, Ji Yuan waved his hand, and the golden-armored warrior disappeared like fluorescent powder, turning into a piece of yellow paper that fell into his hand and was then put into his sleeve.
Niu Batian was also stunned by this scene. He had not seen the process of the powerful man being summoned before, but while he was still stunned, Ji Yuan had already walked away.
Ji Yuan did not use any tricks, but just walked forward at a slightly faster pace. Yan Fei looked at Niu Batian, bowed as a farewell, and then hurried to catch up with Ji Yuan.
The bull demon stood there hesitantly for a while, then tried to follow for a few steps. He found that Ji Yuan was walking faster and faster but he didn't react, so he quickly quickened his pace and chased him for a while. Finally, he caught up with Yan Fei and walked together.
Niu Batian was sure that Ji Yuan had the ability to break the evil magic that had taken root at the back of his neck. Although he still didn't dare to trust Ji Yuan at the moment, he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity.
So, that night the three of them returned to Nandao County together.
They first went back to Yuanqi Inn, put the unconscious woman back into her original room, and then went to find a place to eat.
The previous meal was naturally gone long ago. Ji Yuan could go without a meal, but no matter how good Yan Fei's martial arts were, he was still an ordinary person after all. Although he would not die if he skipped one or two meals, he would definitely be hungry. Since he had enough money to enter the city, there was no need for him to eat dry biscuits.
However, when I came back, the time period had passed and many restaurants were closed, so I had to go to another inn, where I stayed overnight and asked the inn to take out all the leftover food from the kitchen.
When checking in at the inn, the innkeeper kept muttering about the thunder that had just occurred.
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Yuan ate a little at the square table in the lobby of the inn and went back to rest. Only Yan Fei and Niu Batian were still sitting there.
On the way back, Yan Fei managed to get to know Niu Batian reluctantly, and Ji Yuan also told him through telepathy that although this old Niu was a monster, he had a good character and as long as he was not annoyed, nothing would happen.
More importantly, people ultimately care a lot about appearance. Old Cow's plain appearance doesn't give people much of a sense of threat, so Yan Fei is not afraid of this Old Cow.
In addition, Yan Fei and Lao Niu stayed in the lobby of the inn for their own reasons. The former wanted to know more about the mysteries of immortals and demons, and the latter wanted to know more about Ji Yuan himself.
When Ji Yuan was still there, Lao Niu didn't dare to say too much since they were sitting at the same table, while Yan Fei was eating and drinking alone. As soon as Ji Yuan left, Lao Niu's eyes lit up and he moved his butt on the bench a little closer to Yan Fei.
"Brother Yan, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"
Yan Fei sighed, drank the wine in the glass, and looked at Lao Niu seriously.
"Senior Niu, my martial arts skills do not pose any threat to you at all, right?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so distant, just call me Brother Niu, Brother Niu..."
While correcting Yan Fei's statement, Lao Niu poured wine for Yan Fei with a smile. He would never be so fawning to an ordinary mortal, but today he had to improve the relationship.
"Actually, Brother Yan, it's great to have powerful martial arts. Take the demon race for example, some fighting skills are also very important. But ordinary people with thin arms and legs are really not very useful."
Speaking of this, Lao Niu hurriedly said.
"But you are different. With Mr. Ji here, you can beg to learn immortal arts!"
Yan Fei smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Ji won't teach me. I don't know why I have this feeling. Anyway, I just know that even if I ask for it, Mr. Ji won't teach me the magic. Instead, he might look down on me..."
Lao Niu poured Yan Fei more wine.
"Hey, Brother Yan is really a dragon among men. He actually has such feelings. Well, let me ask you a question. When did Brother Yan and Mr. Ji know each other? How much do you know about Mr. Ji? Oh, come on, come on, drink, drink, clink glasses!"
Lao Niu picked up the wine bowl and clinked it with Yan Fei's, then they drank it all. He himself remained expressionless, but Yan Fei was a little drunker.
"Thinking about it now, I can hardly remember some of the details..."
"Hey, come on, tell me. Brother Yan and I hit it off right away. I admire Mr. Ji very much and really want to know more about him!"
Yan Fei looked at the simple and even honest face in front of him and found it hard to imagine that this was a powerful monster.
"Speaking of which, there was a monster back then... It was early spring twelve years ago, in Jizhou of Dazhen, the owner of Luoxia Villa was famous in the martial arts world. I went there with my elders to attend the ceremony and met eight other like-minded friends..."
When a tiger disaster struck Ning'an County, nine young knights who were traveling in Jizhou hit it off and immediately accepted an official notice to go and eliminate the disaster for the people.
As a result, he met a ferocious tiger in the mountains and almost died in its mouth. He was saved by Ji Yuan and survived.
Niu Batian listened very carefully and seldom interrupted, not forgetting to pour wine for Yan Fei. He did not start to think about anything until Yan Fei finished telling about what happened in Ning'an County back then.
"Then today, I met Mr. Ji again at Wuliting outside the city. Haha, a few ungrateful thieves wanted to rob Mr. Ji of his money and kill him..."
Yan Fei didn't say anything about the pursuit of the murderer tonight. He sighed, picked up a piece of stewed lamb that had turned into jelly, and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Did Mr. Ji really let the tiger spirit go? And then the tiger spirit even performed the disciple ceremony to Mr. Ji?"
"Yes, that scene left such a deep impression on me that I can't forget it."
Niu Batian's eyes flashed, he picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and muttered.
"The immortal pointed the way..."
"Niu, hiccup... Niu, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's okay, brother Yan, let's continue drinking. Boss, bring more wine, there's no more wine. Did you mix water into this wine?"
The shopkeeper who was dozing off at the counter was suddenly awakened by Niu Batian's loud voice. He looked at the only table where people were having meals. There were two small wine jars on the square table and two more under the table. All were empty.
"You don't hold your urine after drinking so much..."
"What are you talking about?"
"No, no, no, please wait a moment, I will serve you wine right away!"
The shopkeeper responded quickly and told the waiter to get some wine. He didn't care how much they drank, it didn't matter if they drank themselves to death. It would be a bastard not to make money.
. . .
At midnight, Yan Fei was carried directly to the room by Niu Batian. He was really drunk by old Niu. At the table, he almost told the story of how he had wet his pants since he was a child.
When they arrived at Yan Fei's room, Niu Batian put him on the bed. Although he did not take off his clothes, he did cover him with a quilt.
Niu Batian certainly understood Yan Fei's heart knot tonight. After all, it was the collapse of his self-confidence. However, seeing Yan Fei lying on the bed still holding the sword, he also felt emotional.
'No wonder Mr. Ji thinks highly of you.'
Yan Fei was naturally drunk and asleep, but Niu Batian still stood in front of his bed and spoke.
"Brother Yan, the agreement you made in front of the tiger back then was not as simple as you thought. Mr. Ji was testing you as well as the tiger. In your current state, it's hard to say whether you will be eaten..."
Lao Niu was about to turn around when Yan Fei on the bed started to have a drunken dream.
"Drink...Brother Niu, drink more..."
Niu Batian looked back.
“Hehehe… But Fang Xin, if you call me Brother Niu, then I, Old Niu, will naturally protect you. If the tiger comes looking for me in the future, I, Old Niu, will help you beat him up!”
The three of them were not in the same room in the inn. Ji Yuan's room was at least seven or eight rooms away.
At this moment, Ji Yuan was lying on the bed in a practicing sleeping position, while Qingteng Jian was leaning quietly on the bed. He was neither practicing nor sleeping, but relying on his rare extraordinary hearing, he listened to the two of them chatting for a long time in this quiet night.
Ji Yuan heard the conversation between Niu Batian and Yan Fei in the hall downstairs, as well as what Old Niu said when he sent Yan Fei back to his room, and he couldn't help but smile.
"interesting!"
