The entrance of the alley.
The girl crossed her legs, straightened her body, and slowly wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, then wiped her ten fingers clean.
Her image and temperament suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, she became an elegant and dignified lady.
"By the way, how can you see me?"
Curiosity was written all over her beautiful face.
Also at this moment.
She noticed that the rich and filthy energy of the fifth realm surrounded the young man like a thick wall.
A strange color flashed in her gem-like eyes. She stared at Pang Jian again and again, and the more she looked, the stranger she felt.
"I couldn't see you when I bumped into you before."
Fearing that she might misunderstand him, Pang Jian explained seriously, "Later, I was infected by the filthy energy in the darkness. After I get over it, I will be able to see you."
He had never imagined that the person lurking in the darkness who made them and Li Jie so fearful was actually a young girl.
The girl looked about his age, wearing a jet-black dress that blended in perfectly with the darkness. She had delicate features on her face and a little bit of baby fat. She had a cute and naive childishness that made people naturally want to get close to her.
I don't know why.
Pang Jian felt that if she could eat a little less and lose a little more weight, her face would be several times more beautiful than it was now.
However, seeing the table full of braised meat, chicken feet, chicken wings, and the exquisite little wine pot, Pang Jian thought that the girl might not be able to lose weight.
"Forget it. I am a magnanimous person and I won't mind you bumping into me earlier."
The girl waved her hands guiltily.
She had just heard Pang Jian's shrill wails and thought he was dead. The first thing she said when she saw Pang Jian was, "Why aren't you dead yet?"
The person is right in front of her, clearly alive and well, which makes her feel a little embarrassed.
She suddenly thought of what Pang Jian had said, and frowned, "The filthy evil power of the fifth realm is not something that anyone can easily survive. As far as I know..."
"never mind!"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly shook her head vigorously and said angrily, "The people inside are still telling stories. It's endless and annoying."
After complaining, she took out another recliner from her storage ring and placed it at the other end of the table.
She waved at Pang Jian: "Since you can also stay in the dark, do you want to come and watch it together?"
"good."
Pang Jian agreed immediately.
The place where he was standing was still some distance away from the entrance of the alley, and there was not only a mysterious girl at the entrance of the alley, but also tables and chairs that blocked his view.
Staying where he was, he could only vaguely see a familiar figure replacing Dong Tianze and sitting on the podium.
He couldn't see anything else clearly.
Seeing that the girl had taken the initiative to invite him, he did not hesitate and quickly walked to the entrance of the alley and sat down on the new chair.
Between him and the girl was a table filled with food.
Sitting on the chair and gazing at the courtyard inside the mansion from this angle, Pang Jian's vision suddenly became broadened.
At this moment, he saw that the person sitting on the high platform in front was Luo Hongyan!
Dong Tianze stood by the pool, as did Qi Qingsong. Even Lan Xi from the Demon Sect just stood by the pool.
There are only three people left on the podium, and the three people sitting now are Luo Hongyan, Yuan Lengshan, and Lin Beiye from Heigu.
Pang Jian was stunned.
"Would you care for something to eat?"
The girl next to her asked kindly.
Pang Jian, whose mind was in a state of confusion, shook his head subconsciously, still thinking about what had happened in the mansion after he retreated into the darkness.
When he left earlier, he was thinking that after Luo Hongyan entered the City Lord's Mansion, she did not participate in the two attacks on Qi Qingsong.
He felt that Luo Hongyan might be able to leave through the mirror tunnel.
After all, Luo Hongyan did not have any deep hatred with the people in the mansion. As long as she did not covet the rare treasures in the pool, her life might not be in danger.
Pang Jian, who was lost in thought, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
He suddenly saw Luo Hongyan, who had her back to him, placing the hand that had been placed in front of her body to her side.
In that hand, there was a white jade porcelain bottle... The witch actually participated in the treasure hunt!
"Gurgle."
Smelling the tempting aroma of meat beside him, Pang Jian, who had subconsciously rejected it, suddenly felt his stomach growl.
Then he realized that he was actually very hungry.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, he hesitated and asked, "Can I eat it?"
"Yes."
The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled nonchalantly: "I can't finish it by myself anyway. If you eat with me, I can tell you what interesting things happened in the mansion after you left."
"Yeah, okay."
Pang Jian's first "hmm" was clearly pronounced, but the following two words "okay" were a bit unclear.
—He was stuffing roast chicken into his mouth.
He broke off two greasy chicken legs from the roast chicken closest to him and swallowed them in a flash.
The girl rolled her eyes secretly.
Soon, Pang Jian easily finished a whole roast chicken, and he started to work on another dish of braised beef.
"My name is Li Yuqing..."
The girl introduced herself.
"Pang Jian."
The boy, who was busy eating, spoke vaguely and perfunctorily.
"I know your name is Pang Jian. I heard it a long time ago."
"Um."
Pang Jian didn't answer any more.
Once he relaxed, he realized that his transformed body was in urgent need of a large amount of food to replenish its strength.
Just like when he was in the stone path, after he crawled out with his bones tempered, he was so anxious that he couldn't even eat raw fish.
The girl who introduced herself remained silent.
Originally, she was eating alone, and she would feel embarrassed if Pang Jian was watching her, so she invited Pang Jian to join her.
But Pang Jian didn't know what politeness was at all.
In just a short while, Pang Jian finished most of the table full of braised meat, roast chicken and beef.
Pang Jian had no intention of stopping at all!
"Don't you want to hear what happens in the mansion after you leave?"
She glared at Pang Jian angrily.
"Well, go ahead."
Pang Jian, with his mouth full of meat, said perfunctorily.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
The girl sighed.
She thought that by the time she finished speaking, all the delicious food she had prepared for herself would have been eaten up by Pang Jian.
She stopped talking and started fighting with Pang Jian for the food on the table as if she was angry.
Inside the mansion, Yuan Lengshan's story continues.
At the entrance of the dark alley, young boys and girls leaned sideways and used both hands to take food from the table.
The girl's cheeks were puffed up and she kept stuffing things into her mouth.
Pang Jian has been like this for a long time.
Soon, the food closest to the two of them was finished, and they both reached for the braised chicken feet and wings in the middle of the table.
Two hands, equally covered in grease, collided over a chicken wing.
Pang Jian was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly reacted.
He couldn't help but look at the girl opposite him, and saw that the girl with a greasy mouth was staring at him fiercely, and her aura looked extremely scary.
Under the girl's terrifying gaze, Pang Jian withdrew his hand guiltily.
The girl snorted, picked up the chicken wing with satisfaction, and thought to herself, "You are a sensible boy."
"Well… "
Pang Jian burped, and the crazy hunger from his stomach eased, so he stopped taking food from the table.
“Ahem!”
The girl, who had never been so eager to grab food, choked on the food stuck in her throat. After coughing a few times, she glared at Pang Jian fiercely and blamed him, "It's all your fault!"
Pang Jian said awkwardly: "I'm too hungry."
"never mind."
Seeing that Pang Jian frankly admitted his mistake and stopped competing with her for food, the girl finally slowed down.
Hidden in the darkness, she had been paying attention to the situation in the mansion and had a good impression of Pang Jian.
At first, in order to protect Luo Hongyan, Su Meng and Jiang Li from being killed by the guys at the back door of the City Lord's Mansion and to increase the death toll, Pang Jian rushed forward with a spear and killed more than a dozen people in a row.
At that time, she noticed Pang Jian.
Later in the mansion, Pang Jian, for Zhou Qingchen's sake, dared to attack Qi Qingsong with his Tongmai realm cultivation, which also surprised her.
at last.
Pang Jian used his remaining little strength to send Zhou Qingchen into the mirror tunnel, while he himself risked his life to rush into the darkness, which secretly moved her.
Similarly, when she was suddenly knocked to the ground, she was not so hostile towards Pang Jian.
But she did not have the ability to save Pang Jian who was infected by the dirty evil energy, so when Pang Jian wailed, she only felt sympathy and pity, but could do nothing.
After Pang Jian showed up alive, she was willing to take out a chair and invite Pang Jian to watch the fight because Pang Jian's previous actions had left a good impression on her.
Including when she asked Pang Jian if he wanted to eat something, all of this was based on her previous good impressions of him.
However, she didn't expect Pang Jian to be such a big eater.
"The woman who was with you and didn't leave has another soul in her body."
The girl ate slowly and had time to talk to Pang Jian about the situation in the mansion. She said, "After you rushed into the darkness, the soul in her body no longer hid and took the initiative to show itself."
The girl recounted what happened after Pang Jian left.
"I know that there is another soul in her body, a cruel and merciless witch..."
Pang Jian nodded to show that he understood.
"Witch?"
The girl recalled carefully and frowned, "She was good to you. From what I see, what she is doing now seems to be just to avenge you. Also, when you entered the darkness, her worry and nervousness... all seemed real."
Pang Jian was stunned, looking with complicated eyes at Luo Hongyan who was sitting on the high platform and pretending to be friendly with several people in the mansion.
"Wash your hands and we'll talk later."
After explaining the situation in the mansion, the girl took out a copper basin filled with water and placed it on the table, preparing to wash the grease off her hands.
Pang Jian also stood up and pretended to wash his hands.
"Wait a minute!" She glared at Pang Jian and said fiercely, "Let me wash first!"
"oh."
Pang Jian stopped obediently.
He watched her carefully clean her greasy hands, and when she took out the towel to wipe them, Pang Jian washed his hands in the copper basin she had used.
"Hey, you wandered around in the dark for a while, how did you break through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"
The girl asked with curiosity on her face.
