After walking into a mysterious forest, Jian Jiuzhou suddenly stopped and walked: "Stop, go there and go there is the range of activities of those poisonous bees. Last time I was besieged in front of me. Even if you have antidotes, it will be difficult to go there. If you don't think of a way to deal with these poisonous bees, you should just go in as a way..."

Zixuan gave Jian Jiuzhou a white look and said, "Idiot, do you think we are all like you, and you will be covered with honey. Who will you sting if the poisonous bees don't sting? Well, this is the exorcist incense. If you sprinkle this on your body, the poisonous bees will basically not approach you..."[]

"Yes, the exorcist incense... why didn't I expect it!" Jian Jiuzhou slapped his hands and quickly grabbed the exorcist incense from Zixuan's hand and applied it to his body. Ziying and Meng Li looked at each other and were about to get the exorcist incense, but Zixuan put away all the pack of exorcist incense, and took out two sachets in the surprised eyes and spread them into their hands.

When Jian Jiuzhou was covered with exorcism, he couldn't help but sneeze while smelling the smell on his body, "Which poisonous bee can be used to drive me away, this smell is really delicious, huh? Why don't you apply it?"

Zixuan held back the twitching of her mouth and shook a purple sachet in her hand and said, "That thing smells bad and it can't be washed off even if it's washed for half a month. The sachet in my hand contains sandalwood made of special vanilla, which also has the effect of exorcizing poison bees. Why do we still apply the unpleasant exorcist incense?"

"You!" Jian Jiuzhou was stunned and then reacted, "Why didn't you give me one at the beginning? Now I... this..."

Zixuan glanced at the corner of her lips and said, "Sorry, I only did three when I came here. Two were prepared for Brother Murong and Sister Mengli, and the other was kept by me. Who knew that there was you? I just wanted to ask you and Brother Murong to give up one by myself. Who knew that you took action so quickly, Jian Jiuzhou... I looked at you with admiration~!"

"You...you did it on purpose!"

"snort!"

Zi Xuan's expression of "So what" made Jian Jiuzhou almost carry it over. He smelled the fragrance of the other three people, and smelled the smell on his own. It made people understand what is the difference between heaven and hell. Jian Jiuzhou didn't mind giving up the sachet, but when Zi Xuan used this method to deceive him, he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't say anything at the moment. He took the lead and pulled out a sword from the sword basket behind him, rushed towards the poisonous bees in the distance, venting all his resentment on the poisonous bees, and shouted: "Ahhhh! Stinky bees! I'm back to take revenge!"

"Hehe, I'm so good... I know how to open the way..." Zixuan pursed her beautiful eyes and turned around and said, "Brother Murong, Sister Mengli... Let's go too..."

Seeing Zixuan jumping forward happily, Meng Li covered her mouth and chuckled, "They are really..."

Ziying interjected: "What a pair of enemies..."

...

Along the way, due to the medicinal power of the exorcist incense and the "working" of Jian Jiuzhou, Ziying and the other two entered a swamp flower field without much effort. The poisonous bees on the way were basically "taken by Jian Jiuzhou" alone... (Mysterious sound: Hey! Those are all experiences!

Eighteen: Team up to fight monsters, and experience is evenly divided...

Jian Jiuzhou: Why are I always injured...)

Zixuan pointed to the front and shouted, "Here, Brother Murong, Daigoxiang is growing in this swamp, the pink petals are all..."

"Well, I understand... let's pick it separately." Ziying nodded, and was about to move but was suddenly stunned.

Meng Li noticed Ziying's strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Jiuzhou held the long sword in his hand and said with a look of alert: "Be careful, someone is coming in front of him!"

Zixuan said in surprise: "No, there should be very few people here..."

Just when Zi Xuan didn't believe it, a figure in the distance was exposed to everyone's eyes and walked slowly towards this side...

A black cloak blocked the east wind without a trace of warmth. The red hair that fluttered like a red dragon formed a conspicuous contrast with the autumn scenery, making people unable to ignore his existence. No, this dazzling sense of existence may have nothing to do with appearance, what people cannot ignore should be his innate temperament. The man's eyes slightly closed, and his red pupils were as if he was telling his disdain and arrogance for everything in the world. His calm footsteps were always touching the world every time he landed on the ground. The insects and birds in the forest also seemed to be afraid of the existence of a man at this moment, and all stopped their voices...

Red-haired man: "…"

Ziying: [This…!?]

Zixuan:【Um!?】

Mengli: [Woo!]

Jian Jiuzhou:【Uh…!】

With a sweep of Chi Tong, the magic power was so great that Ziying and the four of them felt severely injured, and their bodies were as if they were carrying a thousand pounds of pounds. Their feet were uncontrollably taken back a few steps, and a passage was given between the four of them.

"Hmph!" The red-haired man's steps remained unchanged. As of course, he walked through the passageway given out by the four people without any fluctuations. Until the red-haired man's figure disappeared between the mountains and forests again, the pressure on the four people gradually subsided, and the strength on his body seemed to be instantly pulled away, and he collapsed on the ground as if he was lifted off his burden.

Zixuan said with lingering fear: "So...so terrible..."

"It's not terrible, it's terrifying!" Jian Jiuzhou said with a ugly face: "Is that person really a human being... The martial arts emitted from him are so powerful. If you really want to be angry... Then we..."

Meng Li said pale and said, "Don't talk first. We have just used our qi to resist the pressure. The spiritual power in our body is in chaos. If it is not safe here, please hurry up and use our qi to restore our spiritual power...Murong Young Master..."

"Miss Liu is right, you guys should use your skills quickly, I will protect you..." Among the four, Ziying had the highest cultivation level, and her own skills were extremely special. With her powerful recovery ability, it was no big deal at this moment, but her face was still so serious. [Is it him? But what did he come here to do?]

With doubts in his heart, Ziying restored her skills for the three of them while constantly guessing... [It seems that it is not just picking the scent of Daigoxiang this time. Even people like him have come. Then there must be a big secret hidden in the forest. After picking the scent of Daigoxiang, let Miss Liu and Zixuan go back. I will go in alone to investigate. It is really dangerous here!]

...

After adjusting the breathing, the four of them stood up from the ground. Ziying said, "Okay, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. After picking the herbs immediately, we will leave immediately!"

"Well..." After the moment, even Zixuan, who had always been brave, dared not stay here anymore. Who knows if there is such a strong pervert inside? If she really capsizes here, then how can she cry?

However, compared to Zi Xuan's lingering fear, Jian Jiuzhou was in a very painful way. He had to go in the depths of Qianfeng Forest. However, as he went deeper, Jian Jiuzhou felt that the treasure hunt was not simpler. As expected, what the master said was right. No wonder the master asked me to come out for training. I really underestimated this world. This world was not as simple as I imagined.

"Brother Murong, Sister Mengli... I'll pick it there, I'll leave it to you here..." Zixuan smiled slightly and ran towards the center of the swamp with a small jump.

"Then I'll go there too, just help you, it's those pink flowers, right?" After saying that, Jian Jiuzhou followed the place where Zi Xuan stepped on, and walked forward, leaving only Ziying and Mengli.

"Then let's start too, Miss Liu..." Ziying turned around and said to Meng Li, then squatted down and started picking.

"..." Meng Li looked at Ziying's back and gently opened her lips and said something. However, after a moment of hesitation, she did not say anything. She silently leaned over to Ziying and began to pick the fragrance of Daigo... [He just... stood in front of me again...]

...

"Okay, these should be enough..." Looking at the already enough Daigoka, Ziying slowly stood up and looked into the distance through the flower field and said, "I don't know how Zixuan and Brother Jiuzhou are doing..."

“…That, Mr. Murong…”

Ziying turned around and saw Meng Li looking at her, she couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with Miss Liu? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Meng Li shook her head and said, "No, Meng Li just has a question to ask Mr. Murong..."

Ziying said: "Miss Liu, but it's okay..."

Meng Li hesitated slightly in her tone: "Mr. Murong, why can you...because you can call Zixuan directly? But when you call Mengli, you call me Miss Liu..."

Ziying has never cared about this question, and should have subconsciously avoided it. For Zixuan, Ziying treats her like her sister, and does not pay much attention to her name, but Mengli is different. Perhaps due to her age, Ziying cannot treat her as a sister like Zixuan. In addition, her cold and restrained personality makes Ziying unable to call her name directly. Mengli suddenly said this question, which made Ziying feel helpless for a moment: "What's wrong with this...?"

Meng Li frowned slightly and said with a gloomy expression: "It is obviously the first one that Mr. Murong and I met, but you still have such a good reputation for me. I am not close to Zixuan yet. This will make Meng Li feel that she may have done something wrong... Mr. Murong, can you tell me why?"

"Do you think I'm a little unfamiliar with you?" Seeing Meng Li nodding slightly, Ziying slowly closed her eyes, and then recently opened her mouth slightly and said, "...Isn't that the case with you..."

"Me?" Meng Li suddenly knew the problem in her heart. Yes... it was not the other party who caused the alienation, but herself... It was her own self-protection that she had subconsciously used the honorary title of "Mu Rong Master Murong" to call the other party. What's wrong with the same title to call me? Why didn't I noticed before... "Mo Rong... Zi... Ziying..."

When Ziying heard Mengli shouting her name, she was slightly stunned, and then she reacted and said, "Liu...Mengli..."

"..." The two of them stood silently in the flowerbed and stared at it for a moment, then there was no warmth in the phenomenon, but instead let out a chuckle at the same time.

"Puchi~"*2

Ziying smiled and said, "I suddenly felt that it was a bit strange that we called our surnames together..."

Meng Li smiled and said, "So too..."

Ziying said, "Since you asked me a question, can I ask you a question too?"

Meng Li nodded and said, "You said..."

"Why are you 'Mr. Murong' when you called me, but you 'Mr. Jiuzhou' when you called me?"

"This..." Meng Li's cheeks turned red when she heard this, and she whispered: "That's because the surname of the young master of Jiuzhou... is not suitable..."

"School name?" Ziying fell silent and began to murmur: "Sword Jiuzhou...Sword, Master Jian...Sword...Black Master...Uh..."

"Haha..." While Ziying murmured, Meng Li on the side had already started to laugh.

A bright smile, a clear laugh, looking at the beautiful face in front of her, made Ziying's originally peaceful mind, which had been slightest waves, making her pursed her lips and shouted again: "Mengli..."

A gentle tone and affectionate voice, heard in Meng Li's ears, the first time she was called so close to her by a strange man made her cheeks flushed and she called out: "Ziying..."

At this moment, the distance between the two gradually narrowed with the change of title... Just as the two were a little embarrassed by the atmosphere at this moment, a scream from afar broke the tranquility between them.

"ah--!"

Meng Li heard the sound and looked at the source of the sound and was worried: "This sound is... Zixuan!?"

Ziying said with a thunderous voice: "Listen to the sound of her, she must be in trouble, let's go!"

"Yeah! No time later..."

...
