Seeing Feng Yu Die suddenly start meditating and adjusting her breath, Xiao Yunluo was quite confused, wondering about what foolish thing this second idiot might have done.
But when she saw her tight frown, as if she was feeling uncomfortable, and sweat dripping from her forehead, she also panicked a little.
"Second idiot..."
Xiao Yunluo reached out to shake her, but then she thought it was better not to be disturbed when meditating and condensing qi, so she retracted her hand.
"What is this..."
Fortunately, not long after, Feng Yu Die, who was sitting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her cherry lips and belched like a drunken man, and then her expression returned to normal.
"Burp~~~"
"..."
Xiao Yunluo looked at her in confusion. This second idiot looked like a charming woman, but how could she burp so rudely...
She held her nose and waited for a moment. Seeing that Feng Yu Die opened her eyes, she asked aloud, "What in the world happened??"
"Someone just tried to attack you." Feng Yu Die took a deep breath, stood up propping her knees, and laughed. "So I came over to save you."
"Attack me?"
"Well... someone wanted to poison you... but it wasn't quite a poison. What was it?"
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian, who had finished dealing with the corpse's leftover energy in her soul realm, exited her head, crossed her arms, and explained. ''It's a corpse soul! Didn't I tell you just now? That woman is a Ghost cultivator, and wanted to plant the corpse soul into Miss Xiao's body and let her be possessed.''
Hearing what Xiao Tian said, Feng Yu Die immediately took credit and pretended to remember. "Oh, right! It's a corpse soul! Just now, you were almost possessed by a corpse soul."
Xiao Yunluo frowned. She knew about the 'corpse soul'.
It was something that demonic cultivators who practiced the Way of the Ghosts liked to use, and usually needed to be refined from the corpses of cultivators who had just died or were about to die; similar to the poisonous insects, but with slightly different details and effects.
She vaguely remembered that the elders of the Black Star Sect said that if you were possessed by a corpse soul, you would need to take Shocking pills to suppress it, and then you could force it out of your body on your own.
Although it sounded very simple, in fact, most cultivators who were possessed by a corpse soul did not realize what was happening in the beginning. Instead, they regarded it as a form of poisoning or a cold. By the time they reacted, the situation would be basically hopeless.
Remembering the uncomfortable look she had just now, Xiao Yunluo showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and asked, "Is it possible that you let the corpse soul possess you?"
"Yep."
"Ah..." Xiao Yunluo widened her eyes, hurriedly picked up her storage bag, and rummaged through it. "I don't have a Shocking pill..."
"I..."
Feng Yu Die wanted to say that it was okay, but Xiao Yunluo grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
"Let's go to Master Li and ask him to help you."
Feng Yu Die hastily withdrew her wrist from Xiao Yunluo's hand and interrupted her. "I'm fine. We can't look for him!"
"You're fine?"
"I have a way of dealing with the corpse soul. Don't worry about me."
Feng Yu Die sighed and looked at her seriously. "Sister Xiao, let me tell you, don't think about going to Li Feng! There really is something wrong with him."
"..."
"Li Feng plans to use a blood sacrifice spell at the Dragons' Convention to extend his life."
Xiao Yunluo shrank her neck with a weird look on her face and looked around. When she saw that no one else was there, she frowned and reached out to grab Feng Yu Die's face.
"Didn't we already talk about this matter yesterday? How could Master Li..."
Feng Yu Die interrupted. "Really, Sister Xiao, I'm not the only one who feels something is wrong with him. Young Master Ye told me the same thing yesterday."
Xiao Yunluo was stunned. "Ye... Ye Anping?"
"Yep."
"Didn't they go on a mission? When did you see him?"
"I bumped into him yesterday when I went to Duchun City to help that Young Master Jiang. Anyway, this is not important." Feng Yu Die patted Xiao Yunluo's shoulder and said, "He told me personally yesterday that Li Feng wants to use blood sacrifice to prolong his life."
"But..."
Xiao Yunluo looked at Feng Yu Die with a dull expression. She lowered her eyes to think, then quietly asked, "Ye Anping is here, at the Dragon House?"
"Yes, and Sister Pei is here too. What happened with the demonic cultivator the day before yesterday was their doing."
Xiao Yunluo rubbed her temples in confusion, but she still couldn't believe it.
Li Feng and her mother were old friends who once fought against the demonic cultivators. How could he have anything to do with the demonic cultivator now?
But if Ye Anping said this as well...
Between Li Feng and the second idiot, she would believe Li Feng.
But between Li Feng and Ye Anping, she would believe Ye Anping...
However fanciful or unbelievable this may have been, she would certainly consider it and not ignore it.
Xiao Yunluo wanted to make sure. "Did Ye Anping really say that?"
"He did."
"Then... what about Sister Li? Does she know?"
"Sister Li probably doesn't know. The person who just now wanted to attach the corpse soul to your body was that busty cultivator who followed Sister Li yesterday. I felt something was wrong with her at the first glance. And she was also sent by Li Feng to stay by Sister Li's side."
"..."
Xiao Yunluo fell silent and bit her lip, frowning. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Then, what should we do? If Master Li is planning to act at the Dragons' Convention... it's too late to write to the elders of the Black Star Sect and ask them to come."
"Young Master Ye said he has a plan."
"Then... what should I do?"
"Sister Xiao, don't do anything. Just pretend that nothing happened. But be careful. The demonic cultivator attacked you, which means you are also one of their targets. After all, you are the Young Lady of the Black Star Sect."
"..."
Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips. Hearing Feng Yu Die's words, she felt unhappy.
She didn't want to be protected anymore!
The last time she was in the back mountain of the Black Star Sect, she dragged down this second idiot and Pei Lianxue.
This time, she didn't want to be a burden again.
But even though she was unhappy, she had to admit that if it wasn't for the second idiot just now, she might have been...
"... I will protect myself." Xiao Yunluo bit her lip. "Where is Ye Anping?"
"In Duchun City, but I think it's better not to go to him."
"Why?"
Feng Yu Die held her chin, thinking for a moment before replying. "Young Master Ye seems to be preparing to defeat those demonic cultivators one by one. If you go to him, he could be targeted by Li Feng. Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Our cultivation is not as high as theirs, so we have to rely on stratagems. Young Master Ye is especially good at these things, so don't worry."
"Well... that... then what can I do?"
"Sister Xiao, you just need to take care of your own safety. I'm going to kill one of the demonic cultivators with Sister Pei and the others in a few days. I won't be by your side to protect you then, so you have to be careful."
Xiao Yunluo opened her mouth but swallowed back her words as soon as they reached her lips.
She felt she was becoming a burden again.
"I... I know..."
After Xiao Yunluo's response, Feng Yu Die winked and nudged her with her elbow, grinning.
"Hehe~~"
"What..." Xiao Yunluo didn't know what her expression meant. "Why are you laughing?"
"Sister Xiao, you didn't believe me at all when I told you that Li Feng had a problem, but when I said it was Young Master Ye who confirmed it, you immediately believed it."
"Ah... well..."
Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows. She brought her face closer and said with a mischievous smile, "Sister Xiao, have you fallen in love with Young Master Ye?"
Xiao Yunluo's cheeks turned red. Then, she took a deep breath and raised her hand, wanting to punch Feng Yu Die. "Don't talk nonsense!! How could I fall in love with him?! He is my study companion!"
Feng Yu Die jumped back to avoid her punch, turned around, and was ready to run away.
"Sister Xiao, please go back now and use your spiritual power to protect your body while waiting for me to come back. I want to find Sister Li."
"..."
Watching Feng Yu Die fleeing away, Xiao Yunluo exhaled helplessly and looked around cautiously.
"Why didn't Ye Anping come to me... I wanted to help him too..." Xiao Yunluo shook her head and patted her cheeks. "No! He asked me to protect myself, which also means helping him."
Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath. She didn't know if there were other demonic cultivators stalking her, so she quickly mobilized her spiritual power to protect her whole body, and she ran back to her house with the sword in hand. She took out all the talismans and protective weapons in her storage bag, set up several layers of defensive restrictions in her bedroom, and hid under the quilt.
"Well... I'm protecting myself."
