She took off her clothes, soaked in the bath bucket and changed into clean clothes. When she came out, she saw him guarding outside the door and smiled bashfully. “I’ve taken a bath. Are you coming in?”
Guan Xilin turned to look at her and saw her in a white dress with her silky hair still moist with droplets of water, her elegant complexion had a faint blush from the bath. She looked much more energetic than before. Seeing her standing at the door with a smile on his face, after giving her a nod, he hollered to the waiter downstairs to serve wine and food and then walked in.
While waiting for the waiter to serve the food, the door was left open. The two of them sat down at the table. Guan Xilin looked at her and asked, “When did you get here? How did you run into those mercenaries?”
“I thought you’d all be here, so I wanted to come over and meet you. I followed a clan conducting an experience. After going our separate ways, I met the Nine-headed Wolf Mercenary Group and then fell into their hands.”
Her beautiful eyes looked at him, she spoke again with an undisguised joy in her voice. “I tried to ask for help on the way, but I never had the chance. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“It’s really dangerous for a woman to go on the road alone. In particular, some loose cultivators and mercenaries here are very strong. The law of the jungle, where the weak are prey to the strong, are common occurrences. I can only say that you’re lucky to meet me here.”
Guan Xilin smiled. “In fact, previously, I was caught by the Demon Clan and was imprisoned for nearly a year. After escaping from prison a short while ago, I took this route to go back to Hundred Rivers City, looking for Feng Jiu.”
Ye Jing whispered in surprise. “What? You were caught by the Demon Clan and was imprisoned for nearly a year?”
“Mm, it’s a long story.” He smiled. Suddenly, they heard a sound. The waiter came over with the wine and dishes.
“Guests, these are the shop’s signature dishes.” After serving the food and wine, the waiter retreated and closed the door.
Guan Xilin poured her a glass of wine and asked, “How have you been these years? Did your family urge you again?”
“No.” She shook her head and smiled gently. “Since what happened then, no one in my family wants to marry me off anymore.”
Because of her acquaintance with Feng Jiu, her family did not dare to force her to marry. In recent years, she had been devoting herself to cultivation. However, she couldn’t wait for him to return, so she came here to find him.
“That’s good, then. I once asked Little Jiu to request the Black Market’s people to take more care of you. But, I haven’t received any news from them about your coming. Perhaps I didn’t receive the message because I was in the prison!”‘
“How did you get into trouble with the people of the Demon Clan here? I heard that the Demon Clan’s Demon Lord is very powerful, a formidable opponent.” She looked at him with some worry.
“He is indeed a formidable opponent. ” Guan Xilin nodded: “Not only is the Demon Lord’s cultivation powerful, but the strength of the ten devils beneath him are also outstanding. This time I was caught by one of the ten devils, but fortunately, my strength has also improved a lot in recent years.”
He said slowly and pondered. “To the best of my knowledge, Little Jiu has clashed against the Demon Clan’s people several times.. Several of the ten devils have died in her hands. Maybe it’s for this reason that the Demon Lord targets us!”
