Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C148

“That’s my purse.” Feng Jiuyang and Mu Xiaoling moved from the wall to the door and walked in.

When Li Xiaowu saw Feng Jiuyang, he was so scared that he hid behind the middle-aged man, exposing only his small head to peek at him. His eyes were filled with fear and dread.

When the middle-aged man saw this, how could he not understand? He immediately snatched the bag and gave it to Feng Jiuyang, “It’s because I didn’t care about this good child. I hope that young master does not argue with him.”

Li Xiaowu panicked, “That’s money for saving brother Ah Bao!”

“Shut up!” The middle-aged man turned around and shouted. The middle-aged woman also put down her work and walked over, hugging Li Xiaowan to comfort him, “Xiao Wu, I know you want to save Ah Bao, but doing this is wrong. You have to apologize.”

“But …” “But …” Tears welled up in Li Xiaowu’s eyes as he said in an aggrieved tone, “Left and right, they won’t be able to live for long …”

“Shut up!” The middle-aged man shouted out angrily.

The middle-aged woman was also covering Li Xiaowu’s mouth with her hands in fear, “You can’t speak nonsense!”

Mu Xiaoling and Feng Jiuyang looked at each other. Feng Jiuyang stood up first, “This one knows a bit about medicine. Why don’t you let this one take a look at Ah’Bao?”

The middle-aged man was skeptical. “You really know medicine?”

Mu Xiaoling advised, “It won’t be any worse if he sees it. If it doesn’t work out, we can send Ah Bao to the hospital. What do you say?”

The middle-aged man was still hesitating, but the woman stood up and let out a long sigh, “You are right. It won’t be bad. Thank you for your troubles.”

The woman led the way and went around to a side room in the backyard. After a few people entered, they saw a young man lying on a shabby wooden bed.

The youth was thin and frail. His face was sallow, his eyes were closed, and his lips were purple.

The woman shed tears and said in a low voice, “This is Ah Bao. The children in our yard are all orphans of the town. Ah Bao is the oldest, he only went out for three days to work. When he came back, he became like this.”

Feng Jiuyang’s eyes slightly narrowed. He walked over to the youth and carefully examined his condition before taking his pulse.

The room was silent, waiting for the results.

After a long time, Feng Jiuyang finally withdrew his hand and solemnly said: “He is not sick, but poisoned.”

“Poisoned!” The woman cried out in alarm, and her face suddenly paled. The middle-aged man’s expression was also very ugly.

Mu Xiaoling and Feng Jiuyang glanced at each other. These two seemed to know something.

Feng Jiuyang said: “This poison is very strange, it seems like a kind of snake poison, but it is also a bit different. If you want to cure the poison, you must know who the owner is, so if you want to save him, you must tell the truth. Only then will I be able to concoct the antidote.”

The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other, struggling and terrified.

“I know!” Li Xiaowu came running in from the outside, “If you tell us everything, will you be able to save Big Bro Ah’Bao?”

Mu Xiaoling said, “We’ll do our best.”

“Little Wu!” The middle-aged man stopped Li Xiao Wu with a stern voice. The woman looked out and quickly closed the door and window.

The woman said, “My name is Zhonglan and he is my husband, called Jisen. Our ancestors came from this town, and a long time ago, even though this place is at the border, there was a lot of business going on until a Daoist came to town three years ago.”

If anyone dares to disobey, they will tie up the entire family and no one will be able to escape. Some people want to escape, but that Taoist used some kind of evil method to make sure that we will never be able to leave Mu Yuan Town. Furthermore, every seven days, someone will be caught and eaten.

Zhong Lan sighed, “We saw the day you entered the town. You guys were brave enough to live directly in that Taoist’s lair.”

“What did you say!” When Feng Jiuyang stood up, even Mu Xiaoling was startled.

Zhong Lan said, “That inn’s boss’ entire family was eaten up by the monster in that Taoist’s hands. After that, he became the inn’s manager, and that monster became the waiter.”

“This is bad!” Mu Xiaoling directly flew out of the temple with Feng Jiuyang following closely behind. The two of them quickly returned to the inn. However, the hall that was originally filled with people was now completely dark. Everyone was lying motionless on the table.

Mu Xiaoling looked at Tang Ling and Qi Tai and found that they were just sleeping. She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Feng Jiuyang. Feng Jiuyang also looked at the others and nodded his head. They were all asleep.

At this time, the shopkeeper, who had been standing behind the counter, came out. He held a pot of tea and stopped in front of Mu Xiaoling. “Customer, you’re back. Would you like a cup of tea?”

Mu Xiaoling picked up the cup of tea and took a sniff. “It shouldn’t be a problem to drink tea. I just wonder if the ingredients you added are poison or knockout drugs?” After saying that, he threw a cup of hot tea at the shopkeeper’s face.

However, the tea didn’t splash onto him but directly onto the ground. The shopkeeper appeared ten feet away in the blink of an eye.

“I had originally wanted to play a little more, but now that I’ve been exposed, there’s no longer any interest in it.” The shopkeeper took off his outer robe and changed into a black daoist robe as he whistled.

The shop assistant walked over lazily. “Can you finally fill your stomach?”

“Eat as you wish.”

Mu Xiaoling held onto the Spirit Abyss as she coldly looked at them. “Cyan Demon, once I heard this name, I knew it was a fake Daoist. What a shamelessness.”

The Cyan Demon gave a cold laugh, “What a sharp tongue. Let’s see how strong you are. The Azure Python is still not going to attack.”

The shop assistant revealed his fangs in excitement. His eyes were bloodshot as he spat out a long tongue mixed with the smell of blood.

At this time, Gu Xiu was crazily shouting in Mu Xiaoling’s sea of consciousness, “Master, I’ve thought of it. That old Cyan Demon Daoist is the same as master, he’s also a beast driving talent. The only difference is that the spirit beast he contracted with is not an ordinary spirit beast but a demon beast!”

Magical beasts could be contracted as well, but they were bloodthirsty and had tyrannical temperaments. Normally, those with natural talent to drive beasts would never contract a beast pet like this to avoid backlash, but there were some people who went astray, such as the old Cyan Demon in front of them.

Magical beasts could not rely on the spiritual energy in the Beast Repellent Space to cultivate on their own like ordinary spirit beasts, and still needed a large amount of slaughter in order to continuously break through. Although the flesh of ordinary people wasn’t of much use to magical beasts that didn’t recognize their master, it was still beneficial for this kind of beast pet.

At this moment, the shop assistant moved.

His clothes automatically slipped off his body and a slender black shadow was wrapped in a layer of dense black fog. It was even faster than lightning as it shot towards Mu Xiaoling.

Feng Jiuyang took off the zither on his back and sat on the ground at the same time. His slender fingers fiddled with the zither a few times as a fine air net appeared in front of Mu Xiaoling, blocking the black shadow’s momentum.
