Chapter 1535: Don’t Enter the Tiger’s Den (Curled in a Ball with Squinting Eyes)

It turns out that Shang Xiuxun really loves to eat. She spent a day writing a booklet that not only lists the local delicacies, but also specifically notes which restaurant and which chef makes which dish that is the most authentic and delicious. It is even more detailed than those food guides, and Duanmu Huai is very satisfied after reading it.

After having this food diary, Duanmu Huai no longer needs to wander around like a headless fly. He just needs to follow the tips above.

Shang Xiuxun also told Duanmu Huai that in normal times, these chefs would stay in their own places. But now that the war was in turmoil, these chefs could not escape. Especially those famous chefs, they were more likely to be captured by the rebel leaders and forced to cook.

But Duanmu Huai didn't care. As long as he was sure that the person was there, it didn't matter whether the other party would do it for him or not.

Even if those rebel leaders captured the other party, Duanmu Huai believed that as long as he showed up at their door and expressed his desire to have a meal cooked by the chef, these rebel leaders would not refuse.

If he dared to refuse, that would be another matter.

Duanmu Huai and Shang Xiuxun thought about it and decided to go to Luoyang first, because it was more prosperous, and important cities like Luoyang and Chang'an were more stable than other places, and there were more famous chefs and restaurants.

After planning the route, Duanmu Huai was about to say goodbye and leave, but Shang Xiuxun hesitated a little, but finally spoke.

"I heard that you are proficient in the art of medicine and once cured the three heroes Yu Dayan who had been disabled for several years in the Northern Wulin. Is this true?"

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai had already started thinking about the menu after arriving in Luoyang, and replied casually.

"To be honest, the ranch recently took in a distinguished guest, but her situation is very special..."

Shang Xiuxun said this while looking at Duanmu Huai and others.

"So you want me to check it out? What's going on?"

"I don't know the specific situation."

Shang Xiuxun shook her head, and then began to explain in detail to Duanmu Huai.

As the largest force in the area, Pegasus Ranch naturally had to protect the surrounding villages, so it often clashed with those horse thieves. The cause of the incident was that the ranch received a request for help from a nearby village, saying that it was attacked by horse thieves. Therefore, the ranch also hurriedly sent people to rescue, but it was too late. The whole village had been burned and looted by the horse thieves. The patrol team was so angry that they followed the trail and the two sides fought a fierce battle. In the end, the patrol team defeated the horse thieves and took back the food and property they had stolen—as well as a girl in yellow.

The patrol team thought she was a survivor who was captured by horse thieves, so they brought her back. But then something strange happened.

The girl in yellow has been unconscious.

At first everyone thought she was just hit, but later they suspected that her acupoints might have been pressed. However, neither Shang Xiuxun nor the elders of the ranch could untie her acupoints. Instead, their internal energy was completely consumed, and they almost went insane.

The weirder thing was still to come. Most people couldn't live without food or drink, but the girl had been unconscious for several days without drinking a drop of water or rice. However, her appearance was still bright and beautiful, and she didn't look haggard at all.

Not only that, the girl was extremely beautiful… Although she was not as beautiful as Wang Yuyan and Xiao Longnv, she was still stunningly beautiful. Almost all the men on the ranch could not walk when they saw her. Many of them even put down their work to see her, as if they were bewitched. In the end, Shang Xiuxun had to order the girl to be locked up in the side yard, and no men were allowed to enter.

In fact, there were rumors in the ranch that the girl was not a human being at all, but a demon incarnate. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person not eat or drink for several days and still be as normal as before, looking like a sleeping beauty. Shang Xiuxun couldn't do anything about it, because the other party's breathing was long and melodious, and at first glance it looked like she was asleep, but he couldn't wake her up no matter what...

Before, Shang Xiuxun didn't believe in legends about gods, ghosts, demons, etc., but after seeing Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu's skills of wielding thunder and swords with his own eyes, well... maybe he has to believe it after all?
If that girl in yellow is really a monster, I can't deal with it myself, so I'd better let these immortals deal with it.

"Oh?"

After listening to Shang Xiuxun's description, Duanmu Huai suddenly became alert.

"Is there such a thing? Come on, take me to see. I'm a professional in dealing with vixens."

One blow separates yin and yang, two blows determine the fate of the world, and three blows destroy the spirit. Duanmu Huai is very confident about this. No matter what kind of fox monster it is, they will have to surrender in front of his Ruyi golden cudgel.

This is much better than his disciple Sun Wukong.

Shang Xiuxun spent a day with Duanmu Huai and had almost figured out his personality. She knew that this immortal killer didn't care much about etiquette or worldly views. So she didn't say much and soon brought Duanmu Huai and others to the room where the women were placed in the side yard.

"right here."

Shang Xiuxun pushed open the door, walked to the bed, then lifted the curtain and looked inside. "She is still sleeping. It has been ten days now. To be honest, I am a little suspicious. The four major bandits attacked Pegasus Ranch this time with a much greater offensive than before. Maybe they came just for this girl. But no matter how I checked, I couldn't find out her background. And judging from her clothes, she doesn't look like an ordinary villager..."

Listening to Shang Xiuxun's explanation, Duanmu Huai walked forward and looked carefully at the girl in front of him.

I saw her eyes were closed, as if she was in deep sleep, her body with beautiful curves rose and fell with her breathing, it looked like she was simply in deep sleep. Her hair was black, her skin was like snow, with a crystal clear and elastic texture. In terms of temperament, she was different from Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu, the latter two were representatives of quietness and not movement, but although the girl in front of me was sleeping, just looking at her elf-like jumping facial features and temperament, I could imagine that she should be the type of playful and active.

But Duanmu Huai already knew who she was.

Haha, if you don’t run away now, then forget about running away.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai didn't care about the gender barrier, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the girl, and lifted her up from the bed. Even though she was held by Duanmu Huai's big hand, the girl still had no intention of waking up, just like a doll.

"I took her away."

Duanmu Huai grabbed the girl, said something to Shang Xiuxun, and then turned and left. Shang Xiuxun was also stunned by Duanmu Huai's unconventional behavior. However, when she walked out of the room, Duanmu Huai and the two girls had already disappeared.

After leaving Pegasus Ranch, Duanmu Huai opened the wizard's mansion and walked in with the two. They were also very curious about the girl held by Duanmu Huai. As for whether Duanmu Huai was attracted by her beauty, the two girls were not worried. After all, they had seen many beauties with Duanmu Huai along the way. Except for Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnv, Duanmu Huai didn't seem to be particularly interested in other beauties. Now he brought this mysterious yellow-shirted girl back...

"Sir, could she really be a vixen?"

Wang Yuyan asked curiously, while Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"Why don't you just touch it and see? You might even feel a furry paw."

"Huh? Really?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Wang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, but still reached out her hand carefully and touched the little hand of the girl in yellow.

“It feels no different from my hand, doesn’t it?”

"But why hasn't she woken up yet?"

Xiaolongnu was obviously more concerned about another issue.

"Even if some kind of internal energy may have such an effect, it is impossible for her to be full of energy after not eating or drinking for ten days. Moreover, I just checked and found that her body is extremely empty. She doesn't look like a person who has practiced martial arts at all. Could it be some kind of monster?
"She'll tell you when she wakes up."

Duanmu Huai laughed and went back to the bedroom.

"I'm going to get rid of the demon. You guys go back and get some rest. Everything will be fine tomorrow morning."

Although the two were curious about what Duanmu Huai was going to do, since Duanmu Huai was not going to take them with him, they did not bother to care and left and went back to their room to rest.

Duanmu Huai entered the bedroom and threw the girl in yellow up there like an object.

Then a few "ripping" sounds were heard, and the yellow fir wrapped around his body turned into pieces. Duanmu Huai put his hands on his hips, held his gun across his horse, and looked with a sneer at the figure who was still lying on the bed like a puppet without any movement.

"How interesting, how interesting."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand and once again grabbed the body that was motionless like a puppet. He pressed his two-meter-long red gun against the middle door, and was determined to abandon the foreplay and go straight to the heart!
At this moment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, and swung her two snow-white hands forward with infinite power, directly hitting Duanmu Huai's chest.

This attack was so unexpected, and the strong internal force was enough to make a master-level expert spit blood and die. The force contained in it could even crack metal and stone. However, Duanmu Huai's body did not move at all after being hit. Instead, he stared at the girl in front of him with a slight smile on his face.

"No risk, no gain, right? I gave you a chance, but you didn't run away."

At this moment, a trace of panic finally appeared on the girl's face. She flashed and wanted to distance herself from Duanmu Huai and turn around to escape. However, as she flashed, she saw Duanmu Huai opened his right hand towards her, and then the girl suddenly felt a strong suction force emerging from behind her. Then her eyes blurred, and when she came to her senses, she had been grabbed by Duanmu Huai's head and pressed to the ground.

"But I'm going to tell you something now, little one."

Duanmu Huai leaned close to the girl's ear, like a ferocious tiger opening its bloody mouth.

"Most of the time, a lamb that enters a tiger's den will be eaten by the tiger. Don't you want tiger cubs? I have plenty here! You're welcome, take them all!"
