Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 199 - 4: Strange Events in Xingluo Town

The next day.

Xingluo Town.

"Wow, Miss, Young Master, Xingluo Town is so bustling! Compared to Yunling Town, it’s like an uninhabited village!"

Walking on the crowded and prosperous streets, surrounded by rows of shops, taverns, inns, and brothels, Liu Su was thrilled, holding Qiu Zhihe’s hand and chattering away.

"That person is actually walking two big dogs, both Second Grade Spirit Beasts, I wonder what the meat tastes like?"

"What’s painted on the faces of those people over there? Could they have drawn an array on their faces!"

"Hey, Miss, look over there, those female cultivators are actually only wearing beast hides, and their legs are shorter than mine. How can they be so shameless to show them off, hmph!"

Qin Gengyun looked in the direction Liu Su was pointing, only to see those female cultivators wearing clothes made from the hide of cloud-patterned leopards, covering just their chests and thighs, revealing large areas of sun-kissed skin.

Even their abs were visible, showing six-pack muscles, with toned and powerful legs, exuding a beautiful strength.

"Those are people from Cloud Pattern Mountain in the Northern Wilderness. They practice polygyny and are very enthusiastic toward men. Do you like them, husband?"

Beside him, Qiu Zhihe’s cold voice reached his ears. Qin Gengyun quickly looked away, with a sheepish smile, he said:

"You’re joking, my dear. I was just curious about their attire, so I took another look."

"Hehe, taking another look could cost you your life, isn’t that right, Miss?"

Liu Su laughed out loud on the side. Every time Qin Gengyun glanced at a pretty female cultivator, Qiu Zhihe would put on a cold face.

Liu Su found it very amusing, thinking the Saintess was so adorable when she got jealous!

Qiu Zhihe turned and glared at Liu Su, who quickly covered her mouth, her eyes darting around, clearly still amused.

"There it is, the Chang Family!"

Qin Gengyun pointed ahead, where a towering and luxurious immortal mansion stood in the central bustling area of Xingluo Town, occupying a vast area, showcasing the Chang Family’s influence in the town.

"Young Master, Miss, are we going to break in directly?"

Liu Su asked.

In the past few days, Qin Gengyun had been worried about Mo Xiaolan and had been traveling at full speed, covering a five-day journey in just three days.

Now that the Chang Family was right in front of them, and Mo Xiaolan was underground there, he indeed wanted to rush in to find her.

"There are two Foundation Establishments inside."

Qiu Zhihe said.

Qin Gengyun was no longer surprised by his wife’s various extraordinary abilities; he believed whatever she said, and he replied:

"My dear, let me go in and ask first."

Even though both he and his wife were in the Foundation Establishment stage, he still didn’t want her to take risks and decided to check the situation first.

Qiu Zhihe remained noncommittal. As the three of them arrived at the Chang Mansion, they saw dozens of male cultivators kneeling at the vermilion gate, wailing and pleading:

"Patriarch, my wife has been missing for more than a month, I beg you to send more people to search for her again!"

"Patriarch, my two daughters have disappeared. This heartless thief is taking my life away!"

"My wife and daughter have gone missing, Patriarch, you must stand up for me!"

These people knelt on the ground, crying out pitifully; it truly tugged at the heartstrings of those who heard it.

"What’s going on?" Liu Su scratched her head, puzzled.

Just then, the door of the Chang Mansion opened, and a middle-aged man with a goatee stepped out, arms crossed behind him, looking both arrogant and impatient. He said loudly:

"The Patriarch has already sent people to search urgently. You all go home and wait; do not come here to make a noise again!"

The male cultivators dared not cry any longer, continuously kowtowing and loudly saying: "Thank you, Patriarch!"

The man with the goatee nodded indifferently, then turned and walked back through the door. Qin Gengyun frowned, just about to go forward and enter the Chang Mansion, but Qiu Zhihe held him back.

"My dear?"

Qin Gengyun was puzzled, then saw Qiu Zhihe looking into the Chang Mansion with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was sensing something.

Just then, the men gathered in front of the Chang Mansion slowly dispersed. Liu Su went forward and randomly grabbed one, laughing as she asked:

"Hey, handsome Taoist friend, can I ask you a question?"

The male cultivator was quite young, with an elegant and handsome demeanor; seeing such a bright woman appear suddenly, he instinctively stepped back half a step, asking suspiciously:

"I don’t deserve it, I wonder what you want to ask, Taoist friend?"

Liu Su indeed grabbed the best-looking one among those male cultivators, and she asked with a beaming smile:

"We’re from out of town and just saw you all kneeling and begging at the Chang Mansion’s door, only for that man with a goatee to send you away so easily. What’s going on?"

The handsome male cultivator’s expression changed, and he quickly said: "Taoist friend, you mustn’t be rude, that was Housekeeper Lu just now, the chief housekeeper of the Chang Family, and one of the most respected people among us cultivators of Xingluo Town!"

Liu Su exclaimed, scrunching her little face. They drove you away like flies, and here you are, respecting them?

At that moment, Qin Gengyun approached, clasping his hands as he said: "Esteemed Taoist friend, my surname is Qin, and this is my wife’s sister. If we’ve offended you, we apologize. What were you asking for earlier? Could you tell us?"

Seeing that he was polite, the handsome cultivator clasped his hands as well and said: "No problem, Taoist friend. My name is Luo Wenzhi, I’ve been living in Xingluo Town for generations. My wife went missing two months ago, and I couldn’t find her anywhere, so I came to the Chang Mansion to ask the Patriarch to send people to help us search."

"The other Taoist friends with me are much the same; some have missing wives, and others missing daughters."

Luo Wenzhi’s face displayed a touch of concern as he continued: "My wife is pregnant; by the timeline, she should have given birth a few days ago. I am really worried about her!"

With that, he sighed heavily, his eyes reddening.

"Even pregnant women are being harmed? What kind of beast would do such a thing!"

Liu Su said angrily, and Luo Wenzhi couldn’t help but shed tears:

"My wife and I were deeply in love, hoping to live a peaceful life as a family of three, but we unexpectedly encountered this disaster. If anything happens to my wife and the baby in her belly, I, I don’t want to live either!"

Liu Su pursed her lips, thinking that although this person was indeed deeply affectionate, he was a bit wimpy, crying like a woman!

"Taoist Friend Luo, your deep affection for your wife will surely help you find her!"

Qin Gengyun could understand Luo Wenzhi’s emotions. If Qiu Zhihe suddenly disappeared, he wouldn’t be any better off.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Qin, I’ll take my leave now!"

Luo Wenzhi tearfully bid farewell and left. Qin Gengyun turned back to look at Qiu Zhihe, who had been silent all along, and quickly asked:

"What’s wrong, my dear?"

Qiu Zhihe looked toward the southeastern corner of the Chang Mansion, her eyes cold as she said:

"Dark energy is floating there, someone is practicing an evil technique."

Qin Gengyun was stunned, "Isn’t this Chang Family beholden to Zhenyang Sect’s righteous cultivators? How could they be practicing an evil technique?"

Liu Su scoffed: "Who says righteous cultivators can’t practice demon techniques? Back in the day..."

Qiu Zhihe interrupted Liu Su, calmly saying:

"It’s the ’Celestial Beast Record’."

"What?!" Liu Su gasped, covering her mouth:

"The Celestial Beast Record? That’s a cannibalistic technique! Who’s so bold?!"
