Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 20: The Barrier Master is a Sideline
They really didn't expect that after they tried their best to look for her everywhere but to no avail, she would actually stumble upon them by accident. If they had known this would happen, they would have simply set up barriers nearby and wait for her to fall into the trap.
But, what about Mo Yi? Ping Lili suddenly remembered that Mo Yi had gone out to look for Yan Zheng. Now Yan Zheng was back safely, so what about Mo Yi?
When asked, Yan Zheng also looked confused. He said that he had wandered around Tangting City and still couldn't find any trace of Yan Xiaoxiao, so he came back first, but he didn't meet Mo Yi.
Suddenly, Ping Lili remembered for no reason that when she and Mo Yi sneaked into the room of the inn, Mo Yi restored a line of secret text of the Nayu tribe. Because some sudden things happened before, she forgot to ask Mo Yi what that line of text said.
Thinking of the sudden tenderness under the bed before, a trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in Ping Lili's heart. Did Mo Yi really go to look for Yan Zheng?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she was actually scared by herself. At this time, Yan Zheng seemed to see through Gong Lili's uneasiness and comforted her, saying that with Mo Yi's skills, there would be few people in this court who could stop him. He should be back in a while, so there was no need to worry. Gong Lili thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it, so she reluctantly put her mind at ease.
Seeing Yan Zheng talking to Gong Lili in such a friendly manner, Yan Xiaoxiao felt very unhappy. As far as she could remember, in the years that she had known Yan Zheng, he had never shown such a gentle look to her. It seemed that every time he saw her, he had an expression as if he had seen a ghost and was running away.
Gong Lili was such a smart person that when he saw the unhappy expression on the girl's face, he knew that she might have misunderstood something. This girl looked quite heroic and intelligent. In addition, Yan Xiaoxiao had shown her skills before, and her ability to break barriers was indeed unparalleled in the world. If she was paired with Yan Zheng, who was an expert in both housework and robbery, it would seem like a match made in heaven.
And judging by Yan Zheng's attitude towards her, he didn't seem completely indifferent. As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. Yan Lili, having experienced it, naturally saw the invisible electric current between the two. However, Yan Zheng was naturally shy and timid, perhaps even a coward when it came to relationships. Yan Xiaoxiao's bold advances were probably too much for Yan Zheng, so it was understandable that he was frightened and fled.
However, Yinglili quite enjoyed such interesting things as helping others to achieve their goals and matchmaking, and Yan Xiaoxiao's personality was just what she wanted. Although she didn't say much, the boldness in this woman's words and actions made Yinglili feel like she had a close friend, so she glanced at her and came up with a plan.
She walked over boldly, grabbed Yan Xiaoxiao's hand, and said to her with a wink, "Little girl, we came to the court specifically to look for you. We didn't expect you to come knocking on our door. Let's put it this way. We're all straightforward people, so let's not mince words. If you help us, I'll decide and give Xiao Yanzi to you as a reward."
The tone of her voice made her act as if she was Xiao Yanzi's biological mother.
Yan Zheng was an honest and kind person to begin with. When he heard this, his face flushed and his eyes widened. He seemed to have not expected that Ping Lili would sell him out so readily. His lips trembled with anger, and after trembling for a long time, he could only mutter: "Nonsense!"
When Yan Xiaoxiao heard what Ping Lili said, she was obviously interested. She raised her eyebrows , her eyes sparkling, and she came close to Ping Lili: "Are you serious?"
Seeing her impatient look, Yan Lili almost laughed out loud. Just as she was about to pat her chest and say that it was too late to catch up, she heard Yan Zheng shout, "Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, a gloomy and murderous aura came towards him!
At this moment, the dark golden talisman on Ying Lili's fingertips had already left her hand, and a golden barrier was erected in front of her and Yan Xiaoxiao!
Since the Battle of Yonghui, Ying Lili's spiritual perception has improved a lot. Before Yan Zheng shouted, she had already realized that something was wrong. She and Yan Xiaoxiao were originally standing opposite each other, and Yan Xiaoxiao had her back to a wall. Suddenly, a pair of dry hands reached out from the wall and instantly dug a big hole in the adobe wall. If Ying Lili had not acted in time to erect a golden barrier, the hands would have dug a hole in Yan Xiaoxiao's head as well!
At the same time, the talisman in Yan Zheng's hand flew out, turning into a ball of dark red flame, burning the withered hand! The withered hand retracted in an instant, but that didn't mean everything was over. There was a loud bang, and a large part of the wall collapsed. Then, four identical monsters walked in from behind the collapsed wall!
Their gray hair fluttered in the wind like dead grass, and there was no life on their gray faces. Even their lips and eyeballs were gray and looked dead.
When they arrived in the yard, the air in the entire yard became silent, as if the sky had become gloomy. A thick smell of death enveloped the surroundings, making people subconsciously feel a little chilly.
Yan Xiaoxiao turned around and saw them. She didn't know whether she was subconscious or intentional, so she hid behind Yan Zheng. She screamed in horror: "Ah, why are you here again! Why do you keep haunting me?"
Yan Zheng and Gong Lili exchanged glances. It turned out that this was directed at Yan Xiaoxiao ?
But I don't know who this person is? Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a human at all!
At this moment, gusts of cold wind gathered from all directions, inch by inch approaching the three people in the center of the yard! Balls of dark blue will-o'-the-wisp fire suddenly sprang up, and under the blowing of the cold wind, the will-o'-the-wisp fire burned more and more vigorously.
At this moment, the four identical monsters began to spin rapidly, surrounding the three of them tightly in the middle!
Accompanied by sharp laughter: "Girl, run away again! You stole things from our ghost realm and you want to get away with it?"
Suddenly, they felt that countless ghosts were floating in front of them, making shrill laughs, and the shrill sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling kept hitting everyone's eardrums, making people shudder.
"Yan Zheng, save me! They are from the ghost realm! They have been haunting me and want to kill me!" Yan Xiaoxiao had already hidden behind Yan Zheng at this time, tightly grabbing the corner of Yan Zheng's clothes, and spoke to him bluntly.
"Ghost Realm?!" Yan Zheng repeated subconsciously, taking a breath. Thinking carefully about the appearance of the four strange men just now, Yan Zheng suddenly understood: "Could it be the demons and monsters from the ghost realm?!"
In fact, even if she didn't say it, Yan Zheng would have taken action. After all, they also needed her help, so it was reasonable for him to help her out at this time. But Yan Zheng couldn't understand why this girl would go to the ghost realm to steal things when she could have offended someone else! Moreover, the other party even sent the four most powerful evil stars in the ghost realm to take her life. He really didn't know what treasure she had stolen?
Thief.
In order to make it easier to steal things, he also developed the ability to break all barriers in the world. He is also known as a speedster, and his footwork is not to be underestimated.
Anything interesting that she took a fancy to would not escape her hands. However, this girl had a righteous character and only targeted the rich and the evil. If she got something she got tired of, she would just pawn it. She would often use the money she got to help the poor. Therefore, although she was a thief, her reputation was not bad. Therefore, Yan Zheng, who always had a strong sense of justice, had a good impression of her and thought she was just a playful girl.
But this time, she really went big and went to the ghost realm to steal things. I really don’t know what’s going on in this girl’s head. There should be a limit to her audacity. This time she must have hit a wall!
No wonder I couldn’t find her in the places she often went to. Maybe it was because she stole someone’s things and was being hunted by them, so she didn’t dare to show up again?
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet me by chance, otherwise, she would have died without knowing how!
