When Ling Xiaotian woke up, it was already bright outside the window.

He sat up abruptly, amazed at how he could fall asleep.

Su Baitong was no longer in the room, and there were still residual medicinal herbs and incense-making utensils on the table.

He was just about to open his mouth to call someone, when he heard a low exclamation from the next room.

He pushed aside the table and walked out of the room, only to see Su Baitong holding a small incense burner in his hand, slowly walking out of the room where the master was, and walking face to face with him in the corridor.

"Get out of the way." She said lightly, she is usually an indifferent person, but now she has a solemn appearance, which is particularly unexpected.

Ling Xiao subconsciously flashed to the side.

Su Baitong held the incense burner and slowly passed by him, without even looking at him.

Ling Xiaotian was surprised, and the voices of the guards came from the courtyard at this time: "Coming, coming out!" ”

He couldn't help frowning slightly, his guards hadn't seen a woman before, how could they be so rude?

He was just about to walk out of the door, when he suddenly saw a black shadow on the ground crawling out of the door following Su Baitong's footsteps.

When he saw what the shadow was, he stood there in shock, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It was a slender and long worm with a body like a thin snake, and it followed behind Su Baitong and slowly crawled out of the door.

"Master." Ghost Face didn't know when he came to Ling Xiaotian's side.

"What is that...... Ling Xiaotian looked at the worm that crawled out of the corridor, and the mere look at that thing made people's scalps tingle.

"It was Miss Su who got it out of our master's ears." Ghost Face explained, remembering that he had seen such a thing crawling out of his master's ears just now, and even he had goosebumps all over his body, "Master has woken up, and Miss Su said that the reason why Master has a headache is that this bug has gotten into his brain." ”

Ling Xiaotian stood in the corridor with the ghost face, and saw Su Baitong holding the incense burner and walking to the courtyard unhurriedly.

The guards had already piled up the pyre in the middle of the courtyard in advance, and Su Baitong walked to the pyre, put the incense burner on it, and then quickly retreated.

"Alright, let's light the fire." She nodded to the guards on the side, covering her face with her sleeve.

One of the guards grabbed the fire breaker with his hands and feet, and threw it into the pyre as the worm climbed up the pyre.

The firewood was soaked in oil in advance, and it burned with a spark bang.

Su Baitong covered his face with his sleeves.

Even though she couldn't see the flames, the crackling sound kept hitting her nerves.

She was afraid of the flames.

She thought it would be okay during the day, but she underestimated the impact of fear on her.

As the wind rose, a tongue of fire swept over, and everyone retreated, only she was still standing where she was, her blood all over her body seemed to be frozen, her legs stiff, unable to move.

In a trance, she seemed to hear a man's chuckle behind her, "Stupid woman......"

Someone wrapped her around her waist and pulled her back, and then the light in front of her dimmed, and the wide sleeves of the bright red embroidered gold thread blocked her face, and also covered her face from the thick smoke and scorching heat.

Su Baitong turned his head slightly, trying to avoid the dazzling red.

Whether it was the flames or the dazzling red brocade clothes, she was afraid and subconsciously wanted to stay away.

"Mishi-sama......" she stretched out her cold hands to push him away.

"Call me Ling Xiaotian." Ling Xiaotian's eyes have a rare soft light, just like the dappled light and shadow under the lush branches and leaves in summer, with warmth and making people wanton and slightly drunk.

"What are you afraid of?" He whispered softly in her ear.
