"So, you're still not going to tell her the truth?"

"Whether it's the truth or a lie, it's just a little more trouble, so what does it mean for her?"

"But you also said that she is different from others after all."

"yes, there are some things that should really be let her know." Pu Jia sighed softly.

"For example?" Wuwu continued to ask.

"For example, I am the real head of the Mengze Sect." Pu Jia looked at the shadowy silhouette of the main city of Zhongzhou in the distance, and said thoughtfully.

In terms of speed, Wuwu flew much faster than the demon "rolling", but in a day and night, it carried Pujia to join the heavily armored warriors stationed outside the Yunmeng Forest.

After a brief rest, the brigade set off in the direction of the main city of Zhongzhou.

After passing through Wangjia Village again, Pu Jia's heart had an inexplicable throbbing, so she let Wuwu fall at the west entrance of the village, ready to hike to the village to find out.

As soon as he landed, the newly standing wooden stake at the entrance of the village attracted Pu Jia's attention, and he stepped forward to find the dark red blood stains remaining on the wooden stake.

The uneasiness began to permeate his mind again, and he pressed his brow at the nearest house.

Although the villagers of Wangjia Village had all heard of Pujia's famous name, they had never seen a real person up close, so the middle-aged woman who opened the door only recognized him as a traveler passing through this place.

Pu Jia didn't say anything, but said that she was thirsty and begged for a bowl of water to drink.

Seeing that Pu Jia had a beautiful face and elegant conversation, the woman thought that he could not be a bad person, so she welcomed him into the house and brought him a bowl of cool well water.

"Thank you." Pu Jia said in a deep voice.

"Where is Childe from?" The woman asked, squinting and smiling.

"I am from Zhixian County, Zhongzhou, and this time I am visiting friends in the main city." Pu Jia said casually.

The two chatted about tea without saying a word, and Pu Jia casually lifted the wooden stake she saw at the west entrance of the village.

"I just don't know what the stake is for?" Pu Jia asked seemingly casually.

"Childe, don't you know, yesterday our village chief caught a monster, and he tied it to that stake and executed it." The woman deliberately pretended to be afraid.

Pu Jia's heart suddenly tightened, he took a deep breath and continued to ask calmly, "I have heard that youkai are proficient in change, and often transform into human demagoguery, and do not know whether it is true or not. ”

"But no, if it weren't for the village chief and his son who had been cultivating immortals for many years and thought she was a monster, we ordinary people would really think that she was just a young and beautiful girl...... the woman sighed.

Pu Jia didn't know when she had clenched her palms into fists, and her fingertips were deeply embedded in the flesh of her palms.

"Is the village chief?" Pu Jia muttered to herself.

"Childe, what did you say?" Perhaps it was the sudden solemn and cold momentum on Pu Jia's body, the woman was in a trance for a while, and she didn't hear what Pu Jia said.

"It's nothing, you execute that demon queen, but can you bury her?" Pu Jia returned to her previous nonchalant tone, but to the woman's ears, there was always an indescribable uneasiness.

"Not really." The woman frowned and continued, "Strange to say, after Xiaoyun pierced the demon's heart with a knife, white peach blossoms suddenly flew in the sky, and after that, the banshee's body disappeared surrounded by petals......"

"Is it gone...... Pu Jia suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth raised a shallow arc, and there was a faint wind and snow surging in his eyes.

When the demon woke up, Zhongzhou had its first snow since the beginning of winter.

She sat up and looked around at the strange room, decorated and furnished like the guest room she had seen in Luan'er's memory.

She only remembered that she was stabbed in the chest by Wang Xiaoyun, and she didn't know what happened after that.

The demon tentatively touched his chest, and there was a shallow scar.

At this time, the door of the guest room was suddenly pushed open, and the demon followed the sound, and a head of white hair as white as snow hit his eyes.

"Is that you?"

"Are you awake?"

The two men said in unison.

"Hmm."

"Do you remember me?"

It's a tacit unanimity.

The demon was a little embarrassed, but the white-haired man laughed loudly: "After sleeping for so long, it is more tacit, and the master is very satisfied." ”

"Where is this? Why am I here? The demon asked the confusion in his heart.

"Oh, woman." The white-haired man pursed his lips disdainfully, "I asked a bunch of questions, but none of them were about the master." ”

"About you?" The demon scratched his head to hide his embarrassment.

"Who is the master's surname, where he lives, whether he is married, you can ask these casually." The white-haired man walked to a square table carved in mahogany, picked up the small and delicate purple clay pot on the table, and made himself a cup of tea.

"And what's your name?" The demon tentatively chose a question.

"The master is Mu Yu, the master's home is in the main city of Zhongzhou, although my face is like a crown of jade, and I am graceful, but the master is not married." The white-haired man answered all three questions in one go.

"Bathing? It's a strange name. The demon snorted and laughed.

"What's so strange about such a nice name?" Mu Yu was very confused.

"Because when I hear your name, there are only two words left in my mind." The demon finally stopped laughing.

"I know those two words!" Mu Yu said smugly.

"Oh?"

"So handsome!" Mu Yu said as he squeezed his eyebrows at the demon, "Am I right?" ”

"That's not right." The demon shook his head, cleared his throat and said, "It's incense." ”

"Incense?" Mu Yu's expression changed from shock to confusion, and finally turned into anger, "The little master's wood jade is the 'wood' of 'staining soft wood', and the 'jade' of 'warm as jade', not the bath of incense!" ”

"Okay, I see—"

Seeing that the demon nodded solemnly, Mu Yu tasted the tea in the cup with satisfaction.

"Burn incense!"

"Incense, you're big!" Mu Yu squirted out a mouthful of tea.

Mu Yu sat down at the mahogany square table angrily, staring at the demon angrily through the light mist constantly emitting from the purple clay pot, without saying a word.

"You're not going to be angry, are you, incense?"

"Cut, will the master be angry?" Mu Yu said disdainfully.

"It's good if you're not angry, burn incense." The demon nodded.

"My name is Mu Yu." Mu Yu gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, burn incense."

"Can you not mention the word incense?"

"Okay, little incense."

“……”

"Didn't you promise not to mention the word incense?" Mu Yu crunched his back molars.

"Little incense is obviously three words." The demon explained matter-of-factly.
