The night was deep, and the bustling streets became quiet. Only occasionally were there a few stores still lit up, casting a faint glow.
At that moment, a long and graceful silhouette appeared at the end of the street.
He was clad in a white robe, spotless and clean. His demeanor was gentle and elegant like a chrysanthemum, his face clear and handsome yet aloof, as if he were outside the bustling world, exuding a coldness that seemed untouched by worldly desires.
Mo Jin was trying to sense Yu Yao's aura. He and Yu Yao did not form an immortal couple bond, so he could only locate them by relying on the aura around them.
She had been down this street before, as long as her essence did not fade, he could always trace her essence to find her.
Suddenly, a familiar aura was caught by Mo Jin.
He followed the familiar aura and hurried forward.
Due to the use of the spell that shrinks the earth into inches, it seemed as though he was constantly flashing across the street.
Within just a few minutes, he disappeared into the street.
He stopped his steps in front of the Ruyi Inn, looking at the inn before him, murmuring to himself: "She is staying here."
Inside the Ruyi Inn, the innkeeper sat on a stool in front of the counter, his head nodding slowly, clearly exhausted.
Sensing that someone had entered the inn, he immediately shook off his drowsiness and stood up to welcome them.
When the innkeeper saw Mo Jin's face, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: What a handsome man! How could there be such a beautiful man in the world?
It's that white robe, and appearing in the dead of night, it always gives people a creepy feeling. Could it be a ghost?
It's mainly that Mo Jin's aura at this moment is too cold.
The coldness made the innkeeper's teeth chatter, and his heart was pounding non-stop.
However, upon glancing at the shadow behind Mo Jin, he heaved a sigh of relief.
There's a shadow, so it's not a ghost.
I don't know why my body is so cold. It's midnight and I'm wearing a white dress. How can it be scary like this?
Though puzzled in his heart, the innkeeper still smiled and approached, greeting warmly, "Guest, so late at night, are you here to stay?"
"I'm looking for someone."
Mo Jin lifted his eyelid and glanced at the innkeeper in front of him, the white robe fluttering slightly, and he ascended to the second floor.
The innkeeper wanted to call him back but found that he had already gone up to the second floor. Reluctantly, he let it go and sat back down at the counter.
Room 1, Tianzhi.
The room was dark, with only a sliver of moonlight streaming in through the window, casting a faint glow and allowing a glimpse of one corner of the room.
At this moment, Yu Yao and the Demon King Fen Tian were already asleep, their breaths even and light, clearly sleeping soundly.
"Host, wake up, don't sleep. Mo Jin has come, he has already entered the inn and is going up the stairs."
The system's urgent voice suddenly rang out in Yu Yao's mind.
She snapped her eyes open with a start, her whole body shivering, and the drowsiness fled by half.
"What did you say? Mo Jin has come? And he's already on the second floor? Why didn't you warn me earlier?"
Yu Yao's face turned instantly pale. She quickly untangled the arm of the Demon King that was draped over her waist, and sprang up from the bed in a hurry.
Due to the loud movement of getting out of bed, she woke up the Demon King who was sleeping soundly.
"Mihi, where are you going?"
The Demon King, with sleepy eyes, asked in a voice tinged with sleepiness, "Mihi, where are you going?"
Yu Yao looked at the man on the bed, and now was not the time to explain to him. She quickly threw on an outer robe, leaving behind only a sentence, "I'm going to the toilet."
She opened the door and left in a flash.
Of course, she didn't forget to close the door before leaving.
Yu Yao stood in the middle of the corridor, hearing the thumping footsteps ascending the stairs, which were particularly clear in the quiet night.
She knew that Mo Jin was ascending the stairs, and her expression changed slightly. With a quick movement, she was already down from the other side of the corridor.
Then, she quickly found a corner and disappeared into space.
Yu Yao sat on the grass in the space, looking terrified.
She suddenly thought of something and quickly said to the system: "Uncle, clear away all the auras that I left here."
Although she had run out in time, what was Mo Jin? With the auras she left behind, he would also guess that she and the Demon King were staying together and that something had happened between them during that time.
If Mo Jin detected any strange smells, it would be the same as being caught in the act.
Who made her and the Demon King…
"Wait, Uncle, remove the aura left by the Demon King on me as well."
Yu Yao frowned and said to the system again.
She remembered that the first time she slept with Mo Jin, she had accidentally inhaled his aura, and it was quite heavy.
After returning, the Demon King had sensed it.
At that time, she was almost choked to death by the Demon King, but thankfully, she managed to persuade him later on.
The system was speechless and dissatisfied: "I'm just cleaning up after you, I swear."
Though saying that, it still quickly cleared away all the auras left by Yu Yao in this place.
Then, it also cleared away the aura left by the Demon King on Yu Yao.
Even the system was thorough, making sure that no auras were left behind and that there were no suspicious places, before it finally stopped.
Yu Yao heaved a sigh of relief upon learning that the auras she left behind had been cleared by the system.
Ruyi Inn.
Mo Jin paused outside the door of Room 1, Tianzhi, and looked at the dark room in front of him with no light. His brow furrowed slightly.
"Why did the aura suddenly vanish here?"
He could sense that there was a Demon King inside this room, but he didn't know why, the Demon King's aura was much weaker than usual.
Is it because he was injured?
Mo Jin had no interest in whether the Demon King was injured at the moment. All he wanted to know was where Mihi was.
At that time, Mihi was taken away by the Demon King, and now her aura has vanished from here. He is very suspicious that the person has been hidden inside the Demon King's internal world.
Inside Room 1, Tianzhi, the Demon King did not suspect anything when Yu Yao said she was going to the toilet.
The Demon King was about to lie down again when he sensed a very familiar aura appear at the door.
Is that Mo Jin?
The Demon King squinted his eyes and looked towards the door, wondering about the woman who suddenly went to the toilet.
He suddenly sneered, "It seems that I have been too lenient with you, allowing you such arrogance. You dare to deceive me."
The Demon King, cold-faced, stood up and put on his outer robe, lighting the candle inside the room.
Only then did he address the person at the door, "If you have come, please come in."
His voice was crisp and clear.
As his words fell,
The door was gently opened, and a figure with snow-white and slender silhouette walked in.
He exuded a demeanor that was faint and cold like the early spring rain, refreshing yet aloof.
It is Mo Jin.
"Where is she?"
Mo Jin looked at the Demon King Fen Tian silently, his expression cold and indifferent.
The Demon King locked eyes with him, his brow furrowed, and his blood-red eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, twisted and demonic.
"Mo Jin, you came here in the middle of the night just to demand someone from me?"
He folded his arms, leaned his body slightly, looking very lazy.
Especially, the one he wants is his woman.
That's just asking for trouble.
Otherwise, if he weren't in a weakened state and his power had decreased, he might have already started a fight.
"I'll say it again, hand her over, don't force me to take action. You're not my match right now."
Mo Jin's eyes and brows were filled with coldness, and his voice was as cold as ice.
He could immediately see that something was off with the Demon King, his aura was much weaker than usual.
The Demon King now was hardly his match.
Mo Jin did not want to take advantage of the other's weakness.
Even if they had to fight, they should wait for the Demon King to regain his strength and fight fairly.
The Demon King knew this in his heart and furrowed his brow slightly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
He turned his back to Mo Jin and no longer looked at him. A pale, long hand rested on the wooden frame, with an jade ring on it that was smooth and warm. The whole person exuded a dignified and extraordinary air.
"You know, if I say it again, hand her over."
Mo Jin's aura was ice-cold, his white sleeves fluttering up, and a sword made of ice was in his hand.
It seemed that if he didn't hand the person over, Mo Jin would have to resort to force.
Yu Yao saw this scene in the space and was so worried that she paced back and forth in place.
At this moment, the Demon King was in a state of weakness, his power had decreased to one-third of what it was before, and he was no match for Mo Jin.
If a fight broke out, it was feared that he would be soundly beaten by Mo Jin.
"Uncle, what should we do?"
Yu Yao looked anxious and couldn't help but turn to the system for help.
Both are her task targets, to be honest, she doesn't want either of them to be in trouble.
She also doesn't want to see such a confrontational scene.
"What's the problem with that? Just go out and everything will be solved."
The system said indifferently.
"Do you think that's possible? If I go out now, I will definitely be killed."
Yu Yao was shocked, what a terrible idea this is.
