Translator: 549690339
Zhao Huai was stunned to see Yu Qinghan.
Why had Madam returned?
“Wait...”
Yu Qinghan was only surprised for a moment before her face quickly became serious again.
Her phoenix eyes focused, as if a deep gaze could illuminate the dim.
She held her long halberd and slowly advanced.
Zhao Huai wanted to greet her, but he felt an overwhelming pressure as she approached.
His heart thumped.
Could Madam have mistaken him for a fox demon?
If so, it would be a disaster.
With her halberd in hand, Yu Qinghan paced back and forth, her phoenix eyes fixed on Zhao Huai, her expression serious.
Zhao Huai felt helpless but obediently cooperated, standing in place with his hands raised.
His eyes like clear spring, clear and bright, he gazed straight back at her.
“Clang.”
Quickly, Yu Qinghan released her hold on the halberd, lunged forward, and threw herself into Zhao Huai’s arms, choking back tears.
“Husband...lt really is you.”
“I’m so glad you’re alright!”
At this moment, Yu Qinghan finally confirmed that the Zhao Huai in front of her was not a demonic imposter.
Zhao Huai felt the warmth of the delicate body in his arms and gave a small bitter smile, comforting her,
“I’m sorry to have worried you, Madam, but it’s all over now. Everything is fine.”
Yu Qinghan lifted her head from Zhao Huai’s chest, her eyes full of curiosity, she asked,
“Husband, how come you are here?”
Zhao Huai had already prepared an excuse, and with a sigh, said, “Madam, it’s a long story.”
He recounted his reasons for leaving the house, as well as his adventures leading to the Drunken Flower Tavern, albeit with a bit of embellishment. After listening, Yu Qinghan nodded and after a moment said,
“So, husband, you saw another me and ran after her, only to encounter a
demon. Luckily, a passing cultivator saved you?”
“Yes, she appeared to be a disciple from a sect. I was worried about your safety and asked her to find you,” Zhao Huai replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Yu Qinghan felt touched.
She could imagine Zhao Huai’s worried expression at the time, much like her own.
Hadn’t she come searching for him because she saw a demon impersonating her husband?
“And why are you here, madam?”
Zhao Huai touched Yu Qinghan’s cheek, asking earnestly.
Yu Qinghan pondered for a moment, “Like you, I saw a monster disguising itself as you. The demon is a fox capable of assuming many forms, kidnapping and eating people. Seeing him impersonate you made me furious, so here I am, tracking it to its lair.”
Yu Qinghan responded with a light “hmm”, her eyes full of smiles.
No matter what, the past was the past.
It was better to live in the present.
At this moment, the sky was spangled with stars, the night was quiet, and the only sound was the chirping of insects.
“Whooosh!”
A hunter was moving through the pitch -black jungle.
He held a torch in one hand, a long saber in the other, walking across the grassland, making rustling sounds.
“Weird, where did that boar go?”
He wondered aloud.
“Once I catch this beast, I’ll have a livelihood for the next few days. I mustn’t mess this up.”
The boar used to sleep in the cave during the day and only came out to find food in the darkness. Its fur and tusks could be exchanged for quite a bit of money.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Because he saw the black fur of the boar. In a mountain cave just about his height.
“So, it’s here!”
Without hesitation, he advanced delightedly.
As he stepped in, a chilly wind blew from behind him, extinguishing the torch in his hand.
“Huh?”
The hunter lost his vision and felt a bit panic.
However, he quickly brushed it aside when he saw the boar was right at his feet.
But when he squatted down to check the boar, he found it was already dead, its body shriveled and covered in sticky fluid.
“How did... it die?”
The hunter was dumbstruck.
The next second, a giant white web appeared, trapping him tightly.
From the lurking shadows behind, eight giant eyes suddenly lit up.
They were green and chillingly horrifying.
“Mmmph...”
The hunter’s mouth was tightly sealed by the web, his eyes wide open, his face filled with terror.
In an instant,
His body withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like the boar from earlier.
After his body fell helplessly to the ground, a mature and beautiful woman came out of the cave, licking her lips as if she was satisfied with the taste.
She was dressed in a black silk dress, her hair loosely bound with a spider silk hairpin, adorned with a few bells, every step she took was alluring. Feeling her injuries, she looked in the direction of Jinzhou City and sneered,
“Immortal Yearning Sect, the disgrace of tonight, the Blackwind Cave will seek retribution for it!”
Having said that, she transformed into a gust of black mist and disappeared immediately.
All that was left was the extinguished torch lying on the ground, quietly emitting smoke.
