Chapter 639: Chapter 639: The Priestess’s Charms (15)

Lingji did not dare to disobey Jiu Qu’s words, but doubt filled his heart.

Yi Cun was different.

It barked furiously at Chuzheng with a burst of ‘woof woof woof.’

Chuzheng glanced over, her eyes cold as if Yi Cun was already a dead dog.

“Yi Cun,” Lingji called out: “Be quiet.”

Yi Cun: “…”

Grieved.

Its owner was actually not helping it, but helping this little thief!

They returned to the place they had been yesterday. Two bloody corpses remained on the ground, while the Demon Butterflies and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Chuzheng was a bit disappointed, as among those corpses was not that woman.

Lingji could not see, but he could smell the blood and the elements that were about to dissipate.

Faced with such a scene, Jiu Qu’s childish face displayed no particular expression.

Her attention drifted towards Chuzheng from time to time.

She seemed to want to understand what exactly the relationship between her and their Family Head was.

Lingji said, “First, find the Demon Butterfly.”

“Yes.”

–

Following the direction of the trampled underbrush and blood stains, they soon found another corpse.

Not much further on, they saw a cluster of Demon Butterflies.

Without needing Lingji to speak, Chuzheng swiftly took care of those Demon Butterflies.

Jiu Qu had seen it before, but watching it a second time, she still felt shocked.

Could this be the reason why their Family Head saw Chuzheng in a different light?

“Family Head, judging by the number, they should all be here,” Jiu Qu reported to Lingji with a composed spirit.

“How do you know they didn’t increase last night?”

“Even if their numbers increased, they would still be here. These Demon Butterflies appear in swarms and do not disperse, especially the ones that split off.”

Jiu Qu emphasized the last sentence.

Because these Demon Butterflies were used by the Serene Butterfly to protect itself, their instinct was to gather together.

Moreover, the Demon Butterflies that had split off would actively follow the group that had split them.

And even if they really dispersed, they would automatically find their group using their species’ ability.

“Check again,” Lingji was not entirely relieved.

Jiu Qu obediently complied, “Yes, Family Head.”

Once they had checked the entire canyon and confirmed that all the Demon Butterflies had been completely eradicated.

“The canyon can now be left,” Lingji addressed Chuzheng: “Miss Chuzheng, you can leave on your own.”

With an expressionless face, Chuzheng asked, “Where are you going?”

Lingji was silent for a few seconds before answering, “Penghua City.”

Chuzheng said, “I’m going too.”

“Miss Chuzheng, you wish to accompany me?”

“Is that not allowed?”

“…”

Lingji didn’t say yes or no, but silently left the depths of the canyon, returning to the main road.

Jiu Qu took out a small whistle and blew on it to her mouth.

No sound came out, but Chuzheng soon heard the sound of a carriage arriving.

“It’s getting late today; we’ll leave tomorrow.” When the carriage arrived, Lingji suddenly changed his mind.

Jiu Qu: “Family Head, we…”

Lingji looked his way, and Jiu Qu immediately shut up, pulling Yi Cun aside to prepare.

The dense towering trees obscured the light, and it quickly grew dark around them.

Chuzheng and Lingji didn’t speak, sitting on opposite sides, enveloped in silence that was not uncomfortable.

Jiu Qu hugged Yi Cun, curiously murmuring to it, “What’s going on between the Family Head and that Dark Series Magician?”

“Ao…” That little thief is definitely trying to steal Family Head away.

She even stole its own collar.

With Family Head being so good-looking, she certainly won’t let him go.

“Nonsense,” Jiu Qu pouted: “The Family Head is the master of the Temple of Light, he cannot simply be stolen away.”

“Ao!”

After a long debate between Jiu Qu and Yi Cun, they still came to no conclusion.

Unaware, Jiu Qu fell asleep, and just as he was deep in slumber, he suddenly felt Yi Cun nuzzling him.

Jiu Qu opened his eyes, only to see Lingji standing in front of him.

Lingji raised his finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet.

Yi Cun wagged its tail beside them, its eyes full of twinkling little stars.

Lingji pulled out a Magic Scroll from his sleeve. He looked back at the girl leaning against a tree, then tore the Magic Scroll.

The voices of the two people and the dog vanished into the air in an instant.

The torn magic scroll slowly floated to the ground.

–

Chuzheng looked at the carriage left behind and a letter written with magic, unable to hide the iciness between her brows.

The little thing actually ran away?

Who gave him the guts?

He even said he left the carriage for her, as if she wants it!

The Temple of Light is also in Penghua City.

Go to Penghua City and capture him, break his legs, lock him up!

I’m not angry.

I’m not angry.

Bang–

Chuzheng kicked the carriage with one foot.

If someone were here, they could probably feel the murderous aura emanating from Chuzheng at this moment.

She was indeed angry.

The more Chuzheng thought about it, the angrier she became.

Another kick landed on the carriage.

Chuzheng remembered there were still Ah Da and Fu Yu; it was already the second day, and she had completely forgotten where they had split up.

She had no choice but to grab a Demonic Beast at random and send it to find the Gale Leopard.

However, the first one she sent…

The Gale Leopard didn’t come back.

Nor did that Demonic Beast.

Chuzheng grabbed a second one.

And the second one didn’t come back either.

Perhaps due to the departure of the Serene Butterfly and Lingji, the Demonic Beasts in the canyon suddenly seemed to increase in number.

Chuzheng caught several in a row, yet all the Demonic Beasts were a one-way trip.

Chuzheng: “…”

Those two couldn’t have encountered some trouble, right?

Torn between leaving and searching for people, Chuzheng thought that she might just wander off and still not find her way to Penghua City.

That would just add to the trouble.

Either way, it was a hassle…

So, in the end, Chuzheng decided to go back and look for them.

They were on the main road at that time, and Chuzheng followed it back.

She hadn’t gone far when she saw smoke from cooking fires.

Ah Da and Fu Yu were sitting in front of a fire, grilling something.

The scene was warm and loving–bullshit!

If she wasn’t mistaken, they were roasting the Demonic Beast she had sent to deliver the message?

They actually ate it!!

Ate it!!

It!!

Damn it, the saying ‘sending a meat bun to a dog’ fits; it would be strange if it came back.

Chuzheng had too many grievances inside, and for a moment, she didn’t even know where to start.

“Miss Chuzheng, Miss Chuzheng…” Fu Yu had already seen Chuzheng, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he ran over.

“You’re back? We were worried that something might have happened to you. It’s great that you’re back.”

Chuzheng had an indifferent expression.

I see how happily you’re feasting, not seeming worried at all.

Fu Yu added, “We wanted to go look for you too, but the Gale Leopard wouldn’t let us leave.”

Chuzheng: “…”

The Gale Leopard was actually that reliable.

Chuzheng’s inner turmoil didn’t show on her face: “Let’s go.”

“We can go now?” Ecstasy spread across Fu Yu’s face instantly.

“Hmm.”

Fu Yu immediately rushed back, called Ah Da to leave, and even brought over the roasted food.

Offering it like a treasured gift, he held it out to Chuzheng: “Miss Chuzheng, this is what we caught, the meat is quite good, do you want some?”

Chuzheng: “…”

No!

I don’t want any!

It’s obviously undercooked!
