Although he said this, the Governor’s wife outside was still scratching the door tirelessly.
Xie Wuyan was very annoyed, opened the door and picked up the Governor’s wife, throwing her out like garbage. She then heard a ‘squeaking-’ scream pierce through the night.
Shen Wanqing felt that the Governor’s wife was probably now hanging onto a thread.
After doing this, Xie Wuyan closed the door very naturally, then found a comfortable position to lie down on her bed.
Shen Wanqing: “…I think, in this case, we still have to go through the process and find Brother Ji and the others.”

She didn’t know which word in this sentence made Xie Wuyan unhappy. And when it was clear that he was unhappy, his tone became indifferent: “Tired.”
Shen Wanqing: Well, we’ll agree with what you say then.
But speaking of it, perhaps because the Heavenly Dao Palace was also involved, even Shen Wanqing was a little curious about the truth of this matter.

That day, it had only taken one blow to seriously injure the Painted Skin Ghost, and it was so easy that even the Sealing Curse hadn’t erupted. What’s more, for the protagonist group, the Painted Skin Ghost was like a mini boss in the new village of a game. How could the Dream Eating Demon, who was one-tenth of the Painted Skin Ghost, have such courage to do this?

Not to mention, it did not make sense that its cultivation was so low given that it had absorbed the blood and soul of more than a dozen humans in such a short period of time.
“Is it possible that the Dream Eating Demon did not eat those souls?” Shen Wanqing suddenly had an idea, “Instead, it handed over these souls to the person who is behind this all.”
“Maybe.” Xie Wuyan propped his head up, his tone sounded not too surprised by this guess. He only looked down at Shen Wanqing who was lying down beside him.
Half of her jet-black hair rested on the back of his hand, it was cool upon touch.
Listening to his tone, Shen Wanqing knew that he might have guessed this long ago.
She seemed to have thought of something, stood up, and sat face to face with Xie Wuyan: “In this case, the Dream Eating Demon did not kill people at random, but it was most likely that it was instructed by the person behind it.”
Xie Wuyan did not express an opinion: “So?”
“So its goal was very clear.” Shen Wanqing said, “Even though it knew that you were difficult to deal with, it still took the risk to act that night in order to kill me, right?”
Xie Wuyan finally laughed, he raised his hand to rest it on the back of his head, and laid back lazily: “You are not too stupid.”
Not only that, but Shen Wanqing even suspected that the sudden violence of the Governor’s wife today was very likely caused by the mastermind behind the scenes wanting to send Ji Feichen and the others away to create an opportunity to attack her.
But why?
Shen Wanqing felt that although it was related to the Heavenly Dao Palace, this mastermind behind the scenes was not coveting the Blood Burning Technique. This was because the serial murders at the Full Moon Tower had been going on for a long time already, that person could not have predicted that she would come to Rong City and plan it so much in advance.

So it was most likely a plan hatched at the last minute.
“So–“
Shen Wanqing seemed to suddenly think of something, she raised her hand and propped it forward, raised a smile and looked at Xie Wuyan’s eyes, jokingly saying: “You came to me every night these past few nights, don’t tell me it’s because you were worried that something would happen to me, so you came to guard me specifically?”
This sentence made Xie Wuyan, who had still been smiling just now, restrain his smile in an instant.
He didn’t speak, and his eyes darkened a little.
After a long time, he turned his gaze to Shen Wanqing. His eyes were like a knife, gouging out her face inch by inch, and she felt chills for no reason.
…what’s the situation?
Can’t this guy take a joke?
Shen Wanqing immediately hugged the pillow and retreated back, rolling down from the bed, and went all the way back to sit down on the chair. She stared at him with widened eyes, looking aggrieved: “You, I’m just kidding, why are you so fierce?”
Xie Wuyan: “Do you know why so many demons and ghosts want to kill you?”
“Why?”
“Your physique has more yin characteristics, and because of the Blood Burning Technique, every piece of flesh and blood on you is a rare treasure for demons and even cultivators.”

When Xie Wuyan said this, his voice did not waver at all, but it made people feel terrified from the bottom of their heart: “That’s why everyone wants you to die. Then, your soul will become a sacrifice for others. Every drop of blood on your body will be sacrificed and every piece of meat will be thrown into the sword-forging furnace, and even the bones will be cut into artifacts and accessories. There will be nothing left except your ashes…”
“Really?” He originally thought that Shen Wanqing would be frightened by these words, but he didn’t expect that she would just nod like a chicken pecking at rice, there was even a little disappointment on her face: “So disappointed, I thought it was because I was good-looking.”
Xie Wuyan glanced at her, then turned his head expressionlessly.
He had long been accustomed to Shen Wanqing’s magical way of thinking, and he didn’t even bother to put on a speechless expression anymore, he just said, “So, I’m not here to guard you.”
“Then what for?”
Xie Wuyan: “In order to prevent someone else from getting to you first.”
Shen Wanqing: “…then that must have been a lot of hard work for you.”
She didn’t know why, but in her eyes, she kept feeling that Xie Wuyan was like a primary school child who couldn’t get over a joke, and would then start to theoretically analyze and logically argue in order to win the argument.
[Villainess system:
Alert! It is detected that the heroine is in danger and has suffered an unexpected attack, which may trigger a life-threatening plot, please be alert host. ]
It wasn’t until this moment that Shen Wanqing realized that it wasn’t that this system was not OP nor unhelpful.
It was just all its uses were specifically made for Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing.

In the past, if you asked it to do a favor, it would pretend to be dead, but now that Feng Yaoqing was going to get into an accident, it even had a GPS function. Along the way, she could see a yellow and bright arrow that dutifully pointed in the direction of Feng Yaoqing.
Shen Wanqing felt like she was playing a bad quality web cultivation game.
Before leaving, she also invited Xie Wuyan to form a team with her, but she was ruthlessly rejected: “Really? If you die, then you will die. What does it have to do with me?”
…Shen Wanqing kept feeling that Xie Wuyan was still angry with the joke just now.
Did all men have such a temper? Speechless.
