Blue Fox Binds Her Hair

"Not good, it's the Monkey King!"

Almost the instant Ye Zhen cried out, a figure flashed before his eyes. A streak of blue light swept past his side, while another talisman light shot straight into his chest. Hu Qingtong's figure vanished.

Ye Zhen hurriedly gave chase, yet failed to catch her. Just like Feng Qingyue earlier, Hu Qingtong had disappeared after leaving the Serpent-Breeding Hall. Ye Zhen had pursued her almost immediately, yet he had not even caught sight of her!

"Strange..." Ye Zhen stared at the empty space ahead, his face full of bewilderment.

"This is my talisman marker. If you need me... to explain, contact me!"

That was the message within the talisman light that had shot into Ye Zhen's chest. As Ye Zhen looked at it, an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

A quarter-hour ago, he had still had a lover outside and a beauty in his arms. A quarter-hour later, the chickens had flown and the eggs had smashed—everything was gone.

Ye Zhen was not a heartless man. Yet now he had been left all alone. Still, he remained deeply worried for Hu Qingtong's safety.

With Hu Qingtong's talisman marker in hand, Ye Zhen could have determined her general location through the response of a Talisman Signal, just as he had done when searching for Feng Qingyue.

But after hesitating for a while, Ye Zhen did not do so.

Clearly, Hu Qingtong, the chief hall master of the Demon God Hall, had most likely come here for the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King. Before seeing the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King, she probably would not leave.

Besides, even if Ye Zhen sent Hu Qingtong a Talisman Signal and determined her location, what then?

Could he shamelessly ask to take responsibility for Hu Qingtong again?
