Water Ghost Sister Flowers

The Canine Demons were gathered around, sitting with their hind legs curled like hunting dogs, mouths agape, long tongues lolling out, their bodies exuding a nauseating stench.

However, there were originally eight of them, but after circling the surrounding mountain ridges, only four remained.

What is this place? This is Ghost Witch Mountain!

To conduct a "mountain search" here… the eerie beings would gladly accept.

Of course, to the people of the Pingtian Society, these medicinal beasts were expendable, and they felt no heartache over them.

The Pill Cultivator issued a command, and the remaining four medicinal beasts shot into the mountain forest once more like arrows loosed from a bow.

The Saint Aunt adjusted her skirt and, before pursuing with great strides, stepped on the "vital spot" in the center of the humanoid object on the ground. Unexpectedly, the humanoid object seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, shattering completely with a crack!

Twenty miles away, Xu Yuan's heart stirred: "They've found it..."

This also meant they had begun their pursuit.

Xu Yuan was standing on a large rock by a small river. The rock was thirty feet high. There were many such giant rocks on both banks of the river, with all sorts of tenacious shrubs growing in the crevices.

Ahead was a towering, steep stone cliff. The river water flowed around its base, and over countless years, it had unknowingly carved a groove into the cliff.

Xu Yuan leaped from one rock to the next, appearing completely at ease.

After rounding the stone cliff, a burst of girlish laughter and playful sounds suddenly came from ahead. Behind the cliff was a pool of water, where two fluffy white things were frolicking in the water.

Xu Yuan habitually glanced at them. The Water Ghost Sister Flowers in the pool saw him and couldn't even be bothered to put on a show, spitting out unhappily, "It's this scoundrel again!"

"Always just watching the show without buying a ticket."

"Our sisters have such bitter fates..."

"Can't find a good man..."

Xu Yuan glanced at the fair, plump areas for another moment before looking away. "I'll make a deal with you. I can lure a large group of blood food for you, and you tell me a place where I can spend the night in the mountains."

"Hehehe..." The elder of the Water Ghost Sister Flowers covered her mouth and giggled. "The place we point out, would you dare to go?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment. "You don't want this to be a one-time deal, right? If I survive tonight, I can introduce you to more business in the future."

The younger sister saw through him at a glance. "The blood food you're luring is the people chasing you, right? You want to use us sisters to help you deal with your enemies?"

The elder sister also sneered. "We sisters have lived for hundreds of years. You little brat, still trying to play these tricks on us?"

The younger sister playfully smacked the elder sister's chest. "Don't talk nonsense. You're eighteen this year, and I'm only sixteen."

"Right, right, right!"

Xu Yuan made a move as if to leave. "You don't know what's good for you. If you don't want it, that's fine. I'll take it to Blind Tiger next door."

Never mind if those people are my enemies or not, this is rare blood food.

You stay here, and all the men who come and go are just the usual seduction routine. The people in the town have long seen through it, and you don't dare to provoke the people in the village. If you miss this opportunity, who knows how many centuries you'll have to wait before you can eat a hot meal.

"Wait a moment!" The younger sister finally couldn't help but ask, "How many people are there?"

"Men and women, eight in total."

The sisters couldn't help but lick their lips.

Then they sank into the water and discussed it with bubbling sounds.

After a while, the sisters surfaced again. "We'll do this deal!"

Xu Yuan nodded as expected. "Tell me where I can spend the night."

"We can't tell you now. We'll tell you after we've eaten those people."

Xu Yuan nodded. "I'll hide first."

The elder sister pointed to the old plum tree by the pool. "Hide in the cave."

The old plum tree had been alive for who knows how many years, and it was as thick as a person. It was only when the elder sister pointed that Xu Yuan saw there was a tree hole at the very bottom.

He had come here many times before, but Xu Yuan had never noticed this hole.

...Perhaps it was because he was too busy looking at other things.

Xu Yuan hid inside. As soon as he entered, he heard a strange dog bark.

The bark sounded a bit like a wolf's howl and was rapidly approaching from a distance, soon reaching the back of the stone cliff.

In the pool, the sisters, who had been posing seductively and preparing for a grand time, suddenly turned pale and trembled like sieves. "Dogs—"

The sisters' voices changed, and they rushed out of the pool without hesitation, squeezing into the tree hole with a whoosh!

Xu Yuan immediately felt two furry things burrow into his embrace, accompanied by a strong scent.

Xu Yuan immediately understood: "You're afraid of dogs—you're not water ghosts, you're..."

This was a bit of a disaster.

Xu Yuan had lured the Saint Aunt here precisely because he wanted to see her charm magic clash with the Water Ghost Sister Flowers, to see who was more seductive.

But these sisters were useless; they were scared away by a pack of dogs before they even met the Saint Aunt.

Xu Yuan gritted his teeth. "I'll deal with these dogs—you two get ready!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Jiji, a guy like you is the best!"

Several furry little paws pushed Xu Yuan out.

After coming out, Xu Yuan first listened carefully and quickly identified four of them.

When he was little, there were also a few stray dogs in the alley, so Xu Yuan had some experience dealing with them.

But these four were clearly different. Their roars carried a ferocity, and the speed at which they approached was noticeably faster.

Xu Yuan dove into the pond.

Soon, the four Canine Demons darted to the edge of the pond, and the tree hollow immediately fell silent. The tree hollow itself even disappeared!

Two furry creatures huddled in the tree hollow, trembling. Those four "dogs" were larger than humans, their eyes blood-red, their gaping mouths filled with crisscrossing fangs, and their bodies exuded a terrifying aura that inspired primal fear.

"Can he do it…?"

The Canine Demons began to circle the pond, sniffing the ground repeatedly.

They snorted in annoyance, clearly detecting many unpleasant scents on the ground.

One Canine Demon, while sniffing, came to the edge of the pond and looked down.

The pond was as calm as a mirror.

Just as the Canine Demon relaxed its guard, a powerful hand suddenly shot out of the water with a splash, grabbed its neck, and quickly dragged it underwater!

The other three Canine Demons, startled, quickly retreated from the pond's edge.

The Canine Demon in the water struggled violently, splashing water everywhere, but eventually, it slowly sank.

Xu Yuan, underwater, tightly gripped the Canine Demon's neck and dragged it to the depths of the pond.

Dense water weeds grew here. Xu Yuan used the weeds to entangle the Canine Demon, then quietly swam to the other side.

The more the Canine Demon struggled in the water, the tighter the entanglement became. It gradually began to kick its legs uncontrollably, gulping down large mouthfuls of water with each kick and exhaling a string of bubbles.

The three Canine Demons on the shore watched the continuously rising bubbles, even more hesitant to approach the pond.

However, they spread out around the pond, staring intently at the water, ready to pounce and tear apart anything that emerged.

After four or five rounds of bubbles, the pond's surface became calm again, and the forest fell into a deathly silence.

The Canine Demons grew even more vigilant. It was about to surface.

Suddenly, at a certain spot in the pond, there was a soft glug, and a shadow shot out of the water.
