Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 348
The others also went upstairs, and Yu Xuanzhen also passed Hua Ruoling and walked upstairs to the corridor, saying: "There have been several murders here in succession, all of which are caused by the Soul-devouring Beast. If you insist on staying, you will inevitably die." If you encounter danger, listen to me and go back!"

Hua Ruoling sniffled, and said, "I know, you're still angry with me, and I know I was wrong, so why don't you forgive me. Give me a chance to make amends?"

Yu Xuanzhen chuckled and shook his head: "Be clear, I never blamed you. People always make mistakes, not to mention that I didn't feel sorry for Ning'er because of it. It's over. If you think it's wrong, just let it go." It is the greatest fulfillment for me and Ning'er."

With tears in Hua Ruoling's eyes, he said, "Why do you always treat me like this? Even if you hate me, you are always indifferent, polite and distant. Do you know how uncomfortable I am?"

"It has always been like this. Since you have always known it, why insist on it?"

Hua Ruoling pursed her lips tightly, the sadness in her heart buried her like quicksand.She turned her head and glanced at the door of the guest room where Xia Ningxi was, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Brother Xuanzhen, I can promise you not to pester you anymore, but I won't leave either. If one day you won't always be single-minded I am thinking of Xia Ningxi, and I will come back to you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, wiped his tears and ran back to the guest room in grief and indignation.

Yu Xuanzhen frowned and shook his head in distress, then turned and went back to the guest room.

Xia Ningxi had less than two cups of tea when she saw Yu Xuanzhen enter the room, and asked with a smile, "Have you explained everything clearly?"

"I made it clear earlier, it's just that she doesn't want to believe it." Yu Xuanzhen walked to the table, took the teapot and was about to pour tea, but there was no water in the pot.

Xia Ningxi hurriedly picked up the kettle and said, "I'll go get another one! It's strange to say that the water in this kettle should be full and still warm, but I just poured a cup and a half before it was gone. "

Yu Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Then it's hard work for you to run."

Xia Ningxi smiled, picked up the kettle, walked to the door and called the shop assistant for more tea.

When Yu Xuanzhen lowered his head, he saw a few strands of steam rising from the spittoon containing waste water under the table. He couldn't help but feel weird. He looked down and found that there was hot water inside.

Feeling uneasy, he hurriedly stood up and looked at Xia Ningxi who entered the door, and asked uncertainly: "Ning'er, do you feel uncomfortable after drinking tea?"

Xia Ningxi shook her head in doubt, and said, "There's nothing uncomfortable, it's fine. Why are you asking so suddenly?"

Feeling uneasy, Yu Xuanzhen hurriedly walked in front of her, held her wrist to feel her pulse, but found that the pulse was calm and orderly, without any abnormality.

He felt more and more weird, and said, "Could it be that I am overthinking?"

Xia Ningxi noticed his fussy attitude, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Yu Xuanzhen took her hand and walked to the table, pointed to the spittoon, and said: "Look, the tea should be a pot, but it was poured out a lot. I was thinking that maybe someone made tea in the tea. If you do something wrong, you should be trying to harm a person, so pour out the excess water, leaving only one cup of water."

Xia Ningxi has always been vigilant, and she also felt weird when Yu Xuanzhen said this.

So, she raised her hand to take the pulse again, and the result was the same as Yu Xuanzhen's, and she found nothing abnormal. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe we thought too much, maybe it's just that the tea is dirty, so someone poured it out."

"I hope so!" Yu Xuanzhen was still uneasy, but didn't say any more.

Xia Ningxi laughed, sat down together holding his arm, and said, "Okay, don't think so much, we've been traveling all this way, why do you still have the heart to think about those messy things. Listen to me, hurry up rest."

Yu Xuanzhen nodded restlessly, followed her to take off his robe, and lay down to rest.

Xia Ningxi also took off her outer robe and leaned in his arms. The two of them were wrapped in brocade quilts, leaning on each other, talking with their eyes squinted.

Xia Ningxi said: "We have to solve the matter of the Soul-devouring Beast as soon as possible. Now that the New Year is approaching, we should go back for the Chinese New Year!"

Yu Xuanzhen nodded, and said: "Uncle Thirteen Emperors has gone back, I'm afraid it's just to make arrangements for the New Year. I was thinking, let Yunchen go back first these two days, with him, at least it will be safe Stabilize the situation."

"Well, that's a good idea, so let's do it this way." Xia Ningxi nodded in agreement.

Yu Xuanzhen glanced at the fine snowflakes flying in through the window, squinted and patted her on the back, and said softly, "Go to sleep for a while!"

Xia Ningxi rubbed against his arms again, and fell asleep peacefully.

Overnight, heavy snow covered the entire town, covered in silver.

The temperature was so low that the nearby ponds and rivers were covered with thick ice.

In such weather, even though it was very inconvenient to travel, Yunchen still insisted on starting as soon as possible, and drove back to Tianchen alone in a carriage.As for Yan Ji, she naturally accompanied her secretly.

Xia Ningxi and the others stayed in the inn in the cold for two or three days, and at the same time they did not relax looking for clues about the Soul-devouring Beast.

However, after a few days, nothing was found.

After the heavy snow stopped for a day, before the ice and snow melted, it began to fall again in fine and small pieces of snow, which fluttered non-stop.

Another day, early in the morning, a frightened scream came from a field not far from the inn: "Hurry up, someone—he's dead again."

At this time, Xia Ningxi and Yu Xuanzhen were wrapped in fox furs and sitting on the first floor eating breakfast. They heard people running around in the street from a distance, shouting and discussing in disorder: "He died again, and he was still with him." Die the same way as before."

Xia Ningxi lost her desire to eat for a moment, she hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door, said anxiously: "I have to go over there as soon as possible, maybe I can find some clues."

Yu Xuanzhen also stood up immediately, and went out of the inn together towards that place.

At that time, You Huang was sitting on the ridge covered with snow, when she saw Xia Ningxi going out, she quickly cast a spell and walked towards that place.

Soon after reaching the edge of the field, Xia Ningxi pushed aside the crowd and went inside, and saw a young man and a woman lying on the ground, both staring in horror, their throats were bitten, and their bodies were bloody from several bites.

Xia Ningxi squinted her eyes and looked to the side. There was an inconspicuous mark on the snow, which looked like a tiger paw print, but it was much bigger than the tiger paw print, and her nails were also longer than the tiger paw print.

The steps broke after less than two meters, and some fine snowflakes splashed at the end of the steps disappearing.

Just this little clue was enough for Xia Ning to figure out the direction of the Soul-devouring Beast's escape, and said with a sneer, "It seems that he fled to a nearby place to hide, and it shouldn't be too far away."

You Huang stood behind her, frowned and said: "I'll go find it with you."

Xia Ningxi nodded solemnly, turned her head to Yu Xuanzhen and said, "You go back first, I'll look for it."
