Fox Den

Night fell.

As the bright moon rises, the shadows of the trees sway gently.

The shaking was like a chaotic dance of demons, and the occasional rustling sound made people walking at night tremble with fear.

"Walking alone at night like this might not be a good idea."

The young man standing to the side glanced at the crowd around him, then swallowed hard.

I've seen strange tales before, and the thought of man-eating demons or vengeful ghosts that suck away yang energy gives me the creeps.

"Afraid? Is he more terrifying than that scholar from before? If we don't hurry, we'll be dead if we run into that scholar again!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Wu immediately snorted.

He was truly frightened by the young scholar from before.

Having traveled all over the country for so many years, this young man is truly bizarre to the extreme.

Upon hearing this, the young man standing nearby was at a loss for words, but after a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke.

"Uncle Wu, do you think we might have misunderstood that scholar? He certainly doesn't look like a demon."

Thinking about Fang Zelin's appearance, he really didn't look like a demon at all; he even had a somewhat righteous and awe-inspiring air about him.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wu did not directly deny it. "Although it is possible, I dare not gamble on it. Moreover, it is precisely because this scholar is too handsome and has a unique temperament that I am afraid."

"Having traveled all over the country for so many years, I've seen quite a few handsome people, but they all fall short of this one. It's really strange."

Uncle Wu sighed and shook his head as he finished speaking.

After thinking for a moment, he glanced back at the goods he had brought back from Great Qian.

The items behind him were all top-quality silk, porcelain, and so on.

They can be resold for a good price.

After this sale, he planned to quit.

Money is good, but it's better to keep your life.

Otherwise, there's no point in making a lot of money.

With that thought in mind, he calmed himself down.

"Hey, there's an inn up ahead! Shall we go and rest for the night? With so many of us, we'll be safer even if that scholar comes. He can't just take advantage of us, can he?"

While that may sound a bit harsh, it's true.

With so many people here, the scholar can't just keep staring at them.

We have to consider the needs of others.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wu looked up and saw the inn in front of him. Even from a distance, he could hear the commotion and the constant sounds of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

It seems that quite a few people have settled here.

Seeing this, he felt relieved and immediately responded.

Then he immediately led his men forward.

Upon arriving, one sees the bright red lanterns in front of the inn, creating a festive atmosphere, and a beautiful young woman carrying a wine jug walks by gracefully, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

Judging from the appearance, she had applied rouge to her body.

Judging from the fragrance, it must be rouge and face powder bought from Great Qian.

The foreign visitors to Great Qian are quite remarkable; many of their small items can be heard of in various places.

For example, their silk dyeing techniques are incredibly sophisticated.

In addition, there were the business acumen of foreign travelers, and countless items to please women.

Many young ladies adore it.

The fact that you can smell the cosmetics from the Great Qian Dynasty even in such a remote inn gives you a glimpse into its history.

"Oh my, there are still customers this late!"

The beautiful young woman, who was holding the wine, saw someone arrive and immediately smiled sweetly. As she stepped forward to greet them, she inadvertently revealed her snow-white shoulder.

The rouge smudged between her eyebrows and eyes, making her look charming and alluring, stirring a burning passion in anyone who saw her.

The woman was wearing embroidered shoes; although her small feet were not visible, the embroidered shoes had a slightly shimmering quality.

They were still those Great Qian shoes.

Those shoes from Great Qian were as if they had crystals embedded in them.

At first glance, many people thought these shoes were absurd.

However, when a woman wore it, she realized how stunningly beautiful it was.

The petite woman in front of us is showcasing the charm of these shoes to the fullest.

After showing them to several people, they all secretly felt that they should buy a pair for their wives to wear, so they could look good in them.

Several people couldn't take their eyes off her, but the woman wasn't angry. Instead, she sweetly invited them inside.

After the group of people went inside, a group of women came out and greeted them.

A group of people were already completely mesmerized and sat down happily.

Then, dish after dish of food and drinks were served, and after a few drinks, the group of people became even more dazed.

"Hiss, we haven't seen a single demon along the way, and suddenly we're encountering such a strong Yao Qi? We have to go check it out."

Not far away, Fang Zelin raised his head, his eyes clearly seeing the Yao Qi soaring into the sky, which was connected to the moonlight above.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin immediately picked up the white rabbit and went over.

At first, the white rabbit didn't notice anything, but when Fang Zelin got closer, it immediately began to struggle.

At that moment, the rabbit's legs suddenly began to exert force.

Even it vaguely sensed the danger ahead and therefore desperately tried to escape.

But with its limited strength, it was far from being able to break free from Fang Zelin's restraints.

No matter how much it struggled, it remained firmly confined to its spot.

When the rabbit was exhausted and started sticking out its tongue, looking utterly hopeless as it watched the inn get closer and closer.

"What a handsome scholar!"

Fang Zelin had only just approached a little when he saw a woman's eyes light up, and she immediately looked at Fang Zelin with a flirtatious expression.

She felt her heart begin to pound.

The scholar's handsome appearance made her feel that she could stay a long time, slowly enjoying himself before gradually devouring him.

The woman looked at Fang Zelin with longing, while Fang Zelin, looking at the woman in front of him, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

Good heavens, at first glance, this room is full of vixens!

We've stumbled into a fox's den!

"Where do you come from, young master, and where do you wish to go?"

The woman stepped forward, her body intentionally trying to rub against Fang Zelin.

His gaze lingered briefly on the rabbit in Fang Zelin's arms.

This rabbit does smell quite good; I can braise it later.

She had also learned some of the methods for cooking rabbit meat in the Great Qian region, which she could use.

The rabbit, startled by that look, immediately burrowed into Fang Zelin's arms.

They were terrified.

She had indeed developed some intelligence, and the closer she got to this place, the more uneasy she felt.
