Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 418 - 77: Son-in-law, You’re Actually Jealous Over Another Woman?

Upon hearing Qin Gengyun’s words, the group finally realized Ruo Mei was missing, and Wei Wan furrowed her brows slightly, asking Qin Gengyun:

"Wasn’t Ruo Mei supposed to be with your team?"

Qin Gengyun was rendered speechless; in fact, he had kept an eye on Ruo Mei throughout the journey, but only discovered she was gone during the rescue at Qinhe Garden, without knowing when she went astray.

At this moment, Shi Ying spoke up: "We encountered Junior Sister Ruo, and she had been with us in Willow Smoke Lane, exterminating Demonic Beasts!"

"Yes, Junior Sister Ruomei killed several Ghost Wolves!"

A disciple from Heaven-Reaching Peak who was with Shi Ying’s team chimed in.

Qin Gengyun hurriedly asked, "Where did you meet her? Do you know where she went now?"

Shi Ying and the others were suddenly at a loss for words, realizing only now that Ruo Mei was gone.

"I’m here."

At this time, a delicate voice sounded, and everyone turned around to see Ruo Mei slowly walking over with her Long Sword, her face and clothes covered in fresh blood, rendering her quite eerie.

Qin Gengyun’s heart tightened, quickly stepping forward with concern: "Junior Sister Ruo, are you okay?"

Ruo Mei seemed startled by him, instinctively stepped back half a step, shyly shook her head:

"It’s—it’s nothing, this is all Demonic Beast blood."

Then, the others surrounded her, inquiring with concern, making Ruo Mei’s cheeks flush with embarrassment, she stutteringly told them what happened.

When she and Qin Gengyun and others went to Cyan Luo Lane, they encountered a group of Demonic Beasts, getting scattered at that time.

Later, she encountered Shi Ying’s team in Willow Smoke Lane, because she was adept at close combat, she needed to charge into the Demonic Beast group to display her skills. As she fought, turning around, Shi Ying and others were also gone.

She fought fiercely with several Demonic Beasts, and in the distance, the howl of a Snare resounded, causing all the Demonic Beasts to retreat. Not recognizing the route, she searched everywhere, finally finding the main group.

"I see, Junior Sister Ruo Mei has had a hard time, it’s our fault for not protecting you well."

Everyone felt anxious for Ruo Mei after hearing her story, Shi Ying immediately bowed in apology, and others comforted her as well.

Her appearance was delicate and petite, with an introverted and shy nature, yet she fought bravely against Demonic Beasts without regard for her own safety, making everyone feel even more cherish for her.

After apologizing, Shi Ying glanced at Qin Gengyun: "Ruo Mei was scattered alone and coincidentally met us, but she was originally with Junior Brother He’s team, why did you fail to look after her? Maybe in Junior Brother He’s eyes, only Fierce Beasts exist, and not his sect mates."

The strong man actually got sarcastic with Qin Gengyun over Ruo Mei, which unexpectedly made Qin Gengyun feel suddenly jealous, coolly replying:

"I indeed failed to protect Junior Sister Ruo, but it won’t happen next time, Senior Brother Shi should focus on himself."

The atmosphere suddenly became odd, with everyone dumbfoundedly watching the two of them.

Liu Su was even more shocked, what’s this supposed to mean? The Miss had just left for a few days, and the Guye is already fighting over another woman?

Suddenly Ruo Mei spoke up: "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi, but I don’t need anyone to care for me."

"??" Shi Ying was thoroughly stunned.

Others lowered their heads, feeling Shi Ying’s embarrassment.

You accused He Zhiqiu for Junior Sister Ruomei, but it turned out Junior Sister Ruo didn’t appreciate it and defended He Zhiqiu.

Why do you bother?

Ruo Mei was also stunned when she spoke, as she was supposed to pretend to be shy and silent to disguise her identity.

But seeing someone mock Qin Gengyun, she couldn’t help but instinctively react.

She stole a glance at Qin Gengyun, seeing him also looking at her, quickly lowering her head.

Could he have sensed something?

Qin Gengyun fixedly looked at Ruo Mei, the feeling in his heart growing even stronger. At this moment, he was very close to Ruo Mei, yet he did not catch that familiar scent.

Because now Ruo Mei was entirely covered in blood, only the strong smell of blood remained, how could any other scent be detected?

Just then, a figure flew in from afar, a man dressed in a brocade robe, who approached and bowed courteously to Wei Wan:

"Greetings to Immortal Wei, I am Yan Mengsheng, the Guardian of Yunling Town."

Wei Wan gracefully returned the greeting: "Guardian Yan, I had been unable to find you, thinking you had already perished. Seeing you safe now, I am relieved."

Yan Mengsheng’s body trembled slightly, hastily replied: "Immortal Wei, clearing suspicion, today’s town breach came so abruptly, we simply had no time to organize a resistance. Apologies, I was caught by a group of Golden-eyed Bears, only now am I able to escape."

Wei Wan’s words seemed to show concern for his safety, but in reality, she was reprimanding him for failing his responsibility as Guardian, not protecting Yunling Town and its citizens.

The city lords and guardians of the twelve towns under the three cities are directly appointed by the Zhenyang Sect, giving someone of Wei Wan’s high commanding disciple status life and death power over a mere Guardian, naturally making Yan Mengsheng nervous.

Qin Gengyun carefully assessed Yan Mengsheng, with a long face and fine eyebrows, and a slender figure, not looking like a cultivator, more like a literati.

Speaking of it, Qin Gengyun had lived in Yunling Town for so long, yet this was the first time he saw the Guardian.

At this moment, the Guardian resembled a humble servant before Wei Wan, his forehead almost touching the ground.

Wei Wan’s voice remained gentle: "Guardian Yan has worked hard, please arrange a resting place for us."

"Yes, please follow me."

Yan Mengsheng quickly agreed, leading the group toward Cyan Luo Lane.

On the way, he also recounted the Demonic Beast attack.

Half a month ago, indeed, two Fifth Grade Demonic Beasts led numerous low-grade Demonic Beasts in an assault on Yunling Town.

However, Yunling Town had a Defense Array, so it didn’t suffer significant damage. Learning that neighboring towns also faced Demonic Beast attacks, Yan Mengsheng sensed the situation was dire and immediately sent a message to the Zhenyang Sect.

Later, those two Fifth Grade Demonic Beasts occasionally returned to harass, but always went back empty-handed.

Gradually, people in Yunling Town started thinking the beast tide was not a big deal and began relaxing their vigilance.

Who would have thought that today a Sixth Grade Demonic Beast suddenly appeared, bringing many times the number of attacking Demonic Beasts, quickly breaching Yunling Town’s Defense Grand Array.

The breach happened so quickly, catching everyone off guard, causing countless casualties.

After hearing Yan Mengsheng’s story, Wei Wan’s gentle eyes suddenly turned icy cold:

"Guardian Yan, during the beast tide, bearing the safety of tens of thousands of lives in the town, Loose Cultivators can be careless, Street Guards can be careless, how can you be careless?"

Yan Mengsheng broke out in cold sweat, almost kneeling on the spot, repeatedly saying:

"It was my negligence, I deserve death, please Immortal Wei punish me!"

Wei Wan looked at him, calmly speaking: "That Sixth Grade Demonic Beast will return. At this moment, it is crucial to unite and resist the beast tide together."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Immortal, for your mercy!"

Yan Mengsheng’s body bent like a shrimp, filled with fear.

The disciples of Zhenyang Sect remained silent, still immersed in the shock and grief over the tragic loss of their sect mates.

Mo Xiaolan walked alone at the back, her expression dazed.

Qin Gengyun slowed his pace, walking beside her, speaking softly:

"What’s wrong, are you hurt?"

Mo Xiaolan raised her head, her face pale:

"The wounds on Senior Brother Feng and others, they are just like my father’s back then! They were also killed by that Snare!"
