Wind and Rain Are Coming

The little frog sat on Chen Luo's shoulder. Small pills kept appearing from the little backpack on its back. It rolled out its long tongue, snagged one, and pulled it into its mouth. After just two chews, it dissolved the crystalline outer layer of the pill, then spat out the dark, grainy interior.

"What are you eating?" Chen Luo glanced over and asked casually.

"Ribbit... (Blood Refining Pill, a pill that can help this lord refine my bloodline)"

"What are you spitting out? Can't you eat those?"

"Ribbit... (Those are also Blood Refining Pills. The outer layer is sugar coating. This lord only eats the sugar coating...)"

Chen Luo was speechless!

If this guy wasn't a rich young master, Chen Luo would have ripped his head off and kicked it around like a ball!

"Sister Xuan, the young master has news." Ji Zhong rushed into the backyard like a gust of wind. Hearing Ji Zhong's voice, Chen Xuan quickly stood up and ran in the direction of his voice. Xiao Huan hurried to follow, "Miss, slow down..."

"Little Ji, how is my brother?" Chen Xuan asked nervously. Ji Zhong quickly steadied the rushing Chen Xuan and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xuan, the young master is fine!"

Only then did Chen Xuan breathe a sigh of relief. It had only been two days since Lian Ai captured Chen Luo, but Chen Xuan had already lost a lot of weight. Her previously rosy cheeks were now haggard.

Looking at Chen Xuan's appearance, Ji Zhong felt immense self-reproach. He had repeatedly vowed to repay Chen Luo's life-saving grace and offered himself as Chen Luo's bodyguard, only for Chen Luo to be captured right before his eyes within days. How could he not feel guilty?

"Then where is the young master?" Xiao Huan asked.

Ji Zhong gestured for Xiao Huan to help Chen Xuan to a seat before he spoke in detail.

"After Great Scholar Wei returned to Wenchang Pavilion, he asked the Chancellor of Literature to perform a divination. The Chancellor of Literature determined that the young master was swept into the Zhili area and is currently not in mortal danger. The Town Profound Division's yamen in Zhili Prefecture has already been mobilized, and they are searching the entire region for the young master."

Xiao Huan patted her chest and looked at Chen Xuan, "Miss, you can rest assured now. I told you, the young master even died and came back to life last time, so he'll definitely be fine this time!"

"Xiao Huan!" Chen Xuan couldn't stand such ominous words right now and quickly stopped Xiao Huan.

Ji Zhong quickly comforted her, "Sister Xuan, Zhili is adjacent to Central Capital, and there are countless experts in both the Confucian and Daoist paths. That demonic woman was already injured, so she probably wouldn't dare to be too brazen. The young master is also an extraordinary person; he will surely return safely."

Chen Xuan nodded, "I hope so..."

At this very moment, by the river where Chen Luo had long since departed, space suddenly distorted, and then two demons were "spat" out of this space.

"Ugh..." The two demons lay on the ground, vomiting profusely, until they even brought up bile.

The two demons staggered to their feet. One large and one small, they were a weasel demon and a squirrel demon. The squirrel demon took a few deep breaths and looked at the weasel demon, saying, "Third Brother Huang, that teleportation talisman's force is too great..."

The weasel demon glared at the squirrel demon, "Brother Song, if we had money, we could naturally take a teleportation array directly to Floating Cloud Market. Who would want to suffer the torment of this darned teleportation talisman!"

The squirrel demon, addressed as Brother Song, quickly nodded, "Third Brother, that's not what I meant. Hurry and check, is this the territory of Floating Cloud Mountain?"

Third Brother Huang scanned their surroundings. "That's right, this is Floating Cloud Mountain. See that valley? It's called One Line Gorge. This place is a bit far from Floating Cloud Market, but we're lucky. It's quite close to Qingsha Black Market."

As he spoke, Third Brother Huang walked forward, and the squirrel demon quickly followed. "Third Brother, what kind of place is Qingsha Black Market?"

Third Brother Huang explained as they walked, "It's a black market, a place where illicit goods are traded."

The squirrel demon was surprised. "There's such a place right next to Central Capital? Doesn't the Great Xuan Dynasty government do anything about it?"

Third Brother Huang put on a "streetwise" expression and patted the squirrel demon's head. "Are you stupid? It's precisely because it's right next to the capital and incredibly prosperous that there are so many illicit goods. Besides, do you think black markets are run only by us demons? There are powerful figures behind them!"

The squirrel demon looked enlightened. "So that's how it is..."

Third Brother Huang, getting into the mood, said, "Brother Song, you've been a bodyguard for ten years and accumulated some wealth. What was it all for?"

The squirrel demon chuckled foolishly and rubbed its head. "My bloodline is inferior, and I want to buy some Blood Refining Pills. I heard those immortal pills can help us demons refine our bloodline to purity! Once I reach the Blood Refining Realm, the possibility of my children gaining sentience will be even greater. This is a matter of bringing honor to my ancestors!"

"See? That's exactly it," Third Brother Huang nodded. "Floating Cloud Market sells Blood Refining Pills, and this black market does too! Perhaps it'll even be cheaper."

"Really?" The squirrel demon's face lit up with joy.

"Naturally," Third Brother Huang smiled smugly. "Speaking of which, our ancestors from eight generations back were practically brothers. Would I lie to you?"

"Indeed, indeed," the squirrel demon quickly said with a smile. "Third Brother, you and I are like real brothers. If I, Song Shuhang, can enter the Blood Refining Realm this time, if you ever need anything from me in the future, just give the word. I'll definitely be there with no hesitation!"

As the squirrel demon Song Shuhang was speaking, he accidentally stepped on something. A medicinal fragrance emanated from the sole of his foot. Song Shuhang curiously lifted his foot and saw a dark, soil-like substance stuck to the sole of his shoe.

"Wait a minute..." Third Brother Huang's nose twitched. He also noticed the situation and stepped forward to pull Song Shuhang's shoe off his foot. He brought it to his mouth to sniff, and his expression changed.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"

Third Brother Huang swallowed and looked at the sticky substance on the sole of the shoe. "Old Song, why did you follow me to Floating Cloud Mountain?"

"Didn't I just say? To buy Blood Refining Pills!"

"You don't need to buy them anymore."

"Ah, why?"

"This is..." Third Brother Huang handed the shoe to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang: (*)

Third Brother Huang's thoughts raced. He called out to Song Shuhang, "Let's search again. A convoy transporting pills must have passed through here and accidentally dropped some. Let's see if there's anything else nearby!"

Song Shuhang came to his senses, his eyes widening. He and Third Brother Huang split up and began searching the ground carefully...

"Third Brother, I found another one!"

"Mhm, okay, let's look further ahead."

"Third Brother, there's another one here!"

"We're rich! We're rich! Hurry, let's look further ahead!"

"Brother Song, I found one too..."

"Third Brother, stop the nonsense and hurry up and look further ahead."

Pfft, the Little Frog spat out another Blood Refining Pill, its sugar coating gone. It turned and leaned against Chen Luo's neck, exposing its clean white belly.

"Ribbit... (Human...)"

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo asked.

"Ribbit... (I think the bug smell on you is getting stronger. Did you wash up in the river just now?)"

Chen Luo raised his hand and sniffed. "I washed up, yeah. I even threw away my dirty jacket."

The Little Frog shook its head in confusion and didn't press the matter further. Some bug scents did linger for a long time.

Neither the man nor the frog knew that the closer the master got, the stronger the scent of the tracking Gu would become!
