Chapter 644: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 16

On the other side, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen were lucky enough to leave Black Mountain before the Black Mountain Old Demon came looking for them. After losing track of Nie Xiaoqian, the Black Mountain Old Demon made the entire Black Mountain shake wildly, with rocks and dust rolling in the sky. The few villagers at the foot of the mountain were so scared that they dared not stay any longer and began to flee.

On the way, Nie Xiaoqian finally woke up, but as a female ghost, she was exposed to the sun and her soul was damaged. If she didn't absorb Yin Qi, she would dissipate. But at this moment, the two people and one ghost were on their way, so there was no Yin Qi for Nie Xiaoqian to absorb.

Ning Caichen went to ask Yan Chixia for help, but Yan Chixia was helpless. In the end, Yan Chixia could only bury Nie Xiaoqian's ashes before she completely disappeared and send her to reincarnation.

"Xiaoqian!"

After Nie Xiaoqian was reincarnated, Ning Caichen spent the whole day in a daze, drinking to drown his sorrows. He either shouted for wine or for Xiaoqian. Yan Chixia tried to persuade him several times, but when he saw that Ning Caichen would not listen, he was unwilling to persuade him anymore. He still had to continue on his journey to slay demons and monsters, and had no time to stay and accompany Ning Caichen in his decadence.

"Master Ning, Miss Nie has now been reincarnated. Humans and ghosts have different paths. I advise you to cheer up as soon as possible. Don't forget that you have studied hard for ten years but have not achieved any success yet. Besides, you still have a blind mother waiting for you to return home..."

"No, I don't want to listen. I want Xiaoqian! I want to drink. When I get drunk, I can see Xiaoqian..."

"Alas... There are always many infatuated men and resentful women in this world, but the road ahead is long and difficult—"

Ning Caichen still ignored Yan Chixia's last words of consolation before parting. Yan Chixia could only sigh helplessly, shook his head and left.

"I can't control it, I can't control it..."

Yan Chixia left. When Ning Caichen woke up, he saw only wine bottles on the ground. He no longer saw the chivalrous old Taoist priest. For some reason, he suddenly felt sad. After crying bitterly, Ning Caichen finally carried the shabby bookcase again.

At this time, three days had passed since the last heart-dug-out corpse appeared in Guobei County, and people throughout the county were wondering whether the heart-dug-out monster had already left the county.

"It must have left. No wonder I always felt that the black dog guarding the house barked less these days even when we were sleeping at night." The people talked about this secretly in private and gradually found that the situation in the county town had indeed improved a lot in the past few days. What they didn't know was that the situation had changed not because the monsters had left, but because most of the man-eating monsters had been killed by Ruyi.

The waiter gradually stopped being afraid of Ruyi these days. Not only did he dare to look up and peek at Ruyi, but when Ruyi came back that night, he even greeted her with a smile.

"Sir, you're back?"

Ruyi nodded and wanted to go upstairs directly. The monsters that came last night were all small monsters with little cultivation. Thinking about the monster she discovered last night, it was very likely that the monsters that came tonight were all of that level. In order not to implicate the waiter, Ruyi thought about it and stopped in front of the waiter.

"Little brother, you should close the inn early tonight. The inn may not be very peaceful tonight. Go and tell the boss that everyone in the inn should go back early tonight and close the door. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out. Do you understand?"

"Sir, are you joking?" The waiter thought Ruyi was trying to scare him, but seeing Ruyi's serious look, the waiter also became serious. Seeing that the waiter had listened to him, Ruyi did not explain anything and turned around and went upstairs back to his room.

By nightfall, only Ruyi's room had the light on in the entire inn. When Ruyi was talking to the waiter, there were quite a few people sitting in the lobby. Everyone heard Ruyi's reminder. In this world where monsters are rampant, no one is so stubborn as to refuse to listen to advice. Everyone would rather believe it than not, so they went back to their rooms early and closed the door.

"coming!"

After dark, no one could be seen on the streets of Guobei County. The moonlight scattered on the road, making Guobei County even more eerie. Suddenly, a gust of evil wind came from a distance, and a rolling dark cloud instantly covered the moon. Ruyi noticed that the light outside the window suddenly disappeared, and immediately realized that a monster was coming.

Hu Siniang, Old Lady Huang, Old Man Bai and Hu Meiniang, four demons, appeared together downstairs of the inn. They looked straight at Ruyi who was standing by the window through the open windows. The moment their eyes met, they immediately understood the situation.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect she was waiting for us!"

"Old Lady Huang, I didn't expect that we regard her as prey and she also regards us as prey. This is so funny!" As a snake demon, Old Man Bai was very familiar with the murderous intent in Ruyi's eyes. He could tell at a glance that Ruyi was no more than a hundred years old. For this reason, he was not worried at all that they would not be able to deal with Ruyi. He even had the mood to joke with Old Lady Huang beside him.

Mrs. Huang was not as careless as Mr. Bai. After seeing Ruyi with her own eyes, Mrs. Huang felt an inexplicable fear from Ruyi. "Mr. Bai, don't be careless. Don't forget that many of our descendants died at the hands of this man!"

Hu Siniang and Hu Meiniang stood together. Hu Meiniang looked at Ruyi's beautiful face, and her face became distorted with jealousy. "Damn it, this person is even more beautiful than the face I transformed!"

Although Hu Si Niang didn't love beauty as much as Hu Meiniang, she felt very unhappy when she saw someone who looked prettier than them, "When I catch her, I'm going to peel off her face!"

The four monsters were full of confidence at this time. Among them were three monsters with 500 years of cultivation, and one monster with 300 years of cultivation. Although the fairy spirit on Ruyi's body could restrain monsters, according to Ruyi's age, she had only practiced for a few decades at most, and was totally unable to be their opponent.

So without waiting to enter the inn, the four demons attacked Ruyi directly at the window. Ruyi didn't expect that they would squeeze together at the window like this. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, with a hint of smile on the corner of her mouth, and she waved her hand towards the window: "Wood entanglement technique!"

A thick vine suddenly appeared from the flowerpot on the windowsill and tied up the four monsters that came to the window. Before they could react and break free, Ruyi acted decisively and cast another thunder spell.

"what--"

The four demons were struck by lightning and trembled immediately. The pain of being burned by lightning traveled through the bodies of the four demons along with the lightning, bringing pain. Soon, three demons with higher cultivation reacted, broke through the vines and fell to the ground, leaving only Hu Meiniang in front of the window. Ruyi then cast another fireball spell, burning Hu Meiniang directly.

"Ah! Ancestor, save me, it hurts so much!"

Hu Siniang didn't care about the injuries on her body. She immediately transformed into a fox claw and stepped forward to cut the vines that bound Hu Meiniang. After Hu Meiniang fell to the ground, Old Man Bai immediately spit out a line of water to put out the flames on her body.

After one encounter, all of their members were injured. The three demons immediately lost their previous contempt. They looked at each other and decided to retreat temporarily. Before Ruyi could launch another attack, a gust of black wind passed by, and only the ashes of burnt fox hair were left under the window.

"Pity."

In order to prepare for the battle, Ruyi specially prepared plants that could induce growth at the door and window of the room, waiting for them to come in and then immediately induce growth and tie them up. However, who would have thought that the four monsters would choose to attack from the window together, causing the vines to be overloaded and easily broken.
