189: Chapter 187: Magic Hidden in the Sleeve, Hide It Well 189: Chapter 187: Magic Hidden in the Sleeve, Hide It Well Under the magnificent night scene, a white boot flattened an iron scrap on the ground. Dressed in ancient and tranquil white, she appeared amidst the snowstorm. Her clothes were thin, and so was she. Her black hair was like ink, and she wore a Jade Rabbit Mask on her face, a beauty with skin as smooth as frost and bones as pure as jade, emanating a cool and chilling aura. She was like the moon above, with the snowstorm seeming to shroud her in clouds and mist, making her appear all the more indifferent and distant, untouchable. The man looked as if he had seen a ghost, his expression twisted. Great! Having just sent off the young lady, here comes the elder one. The two women in the whole world you least want to offend have both gathered at the foot of Xianling City. What a lively scene indeed! He recognized the identity of this woman and saw the precious Jade Rabbit Mask she treated as her life, now with one of its corners shattered, revealing a perfect and exquisite chin and lips. How did the ear of this rabbit mask also get bent… Looking at the shattered remains of the Giant Spirit Guards of the city. Looking at the woman in white quietly sheathing her sword. The man’s heart clenched with pain. That’s settled then. No time to plead for mercy under the sword. But regarding this lady… He thought, even if he had pleaded for her to spare mercy with the sword, whether she would have actually stopped was indeed a question worth pondering. Luckily, the Giant Spirit Guards didn’t possess an actual flesh and blood body but were just Immortal Spirits attached to this heavy iron armor. Although the materials were precious and hard to find, they were still bearable for Xianling City. The man bowed again, “I’ve seen… seen Miss Su Jing, this… what’s this?” Damn it, he stuttered again. Su Jing sheathed her sword at her waist, and reflected in her eyes beneath the mask was the silhouette of the ancient city in the snowstorm. Such a cold and heartless person suddenly made an untimely gesture. She pinched her earlobe meaninglessly, her voice cold as ice, but with an inexplicable insistence that brooked no doubt, “I want to enter the city.” Quite the tyrant, this one. At least the other one said, ‘Let me enter the city.’ But you, after destroying two Giant Spirit Guards, now so rightfully and boldly state, ‘I want to enter the city.’ Su Jing saw the man looking piteously at the scraps of iron on the ground; she was not as sparing with her words as usual, rubbing her earlobe, patiently explained again, “I want to enter the city. They unsheathed their swords unprovoked, I merely blocked them a bit, and this is the result.” Just a block, and this is the result? Fine. We all know you’re formidable, no need to show off here. The man in charge nearly crushed the Token in his hand. Everyone in the world knew, Su Jing from Taixuan Sect and Yin Baishuang from Cangwu Palace were not on good terms. In the past two hundred years, they met five times; each encounter led to the devastation of mountains and rivers, and the dimming of the sun and moon. Madmen clashing with madmen, geniuses engaging with geniuses, the conflicts that were most likely to affect the innocent bystanders. If these two ladies were to meet, would the big exam continue at all? The man hesitated and then said, “Miss Su Jing wouldn’t happen to be going to Ghost Mountain to gather herbs, right? There’s really no need for such trouble. Whatever Miss Su Jing wants, just tell me, and there’s no need for you to make the journey personally. Tomorrow! I will personally deliver whatever you need to Taixuan Sect, so there’s no need for you to travel to the bleak Ghost Mountain at night, hehe.” “Rest assured, I’m not going to Ghost Mountain,” Su Jing responded indifferently with a glance. The man sighed a breath of relief and obediently calmed down. It’s good that she isn’t going to Ghost Mountain; if it’s about fighting over the same thing again, that won’t be a battle that can be settled in a month or two. Under his relieved gaze, Su Jing said calmly, “It’s too cold on the mountain, and I don’t want to face the wind. She will bring the herbs, so…” The man felt his heart rise to his throat again, almost vomiting it out, “So… so?” “Fighting her, then taking it.” To be able to speak the rhetoric of a robber so elegantly and lightly, there was no one else like her in the whole world. “This… this isn’t very appropriate, is it?” “Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you.” The man in charge: “…” How can I possibly rest assured with this! “I will wait for her outside the city, I won’t disturb the exam.” The man was taken aback, “Since Miss Su Jing, you’re waiting for that person outside the city, why do you want to enter the city now?” In the night, her clear eyes remained still, like ancient jade. She said, “I come to hunt demons.” “Hunt… hunt demons? In Xianling City?” You must be joking. Inside Xianling City, there are ghosts, immortals, humans, monsters, spirits, and charms. But there are definitely no demons. The Empress detests the Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan is the number one enemy of the Immortal World. This city is made from the hair of Immortals, how could there be demons here? Su Jing nodded, “Hunting demons has been my life’s work, never a miss. But a few days ago, I missed one, and it escaped into Xianling City.” “This…” “Do you doubt my words?” A cool glance swept over him; very calm, yet piercing to the heart. “No! I didn’t mean that, it’s just that it’s impossible for a demon to stay in Xianling City. I’m afraid you’re going to make a wasted trip.” Su Jing gave him a look and suddenly asked, “What are you afraid of?” The man thought to himself, afraid that you’ll cause a frenzy. But he smiled on the surface, “Nothing.” Su Jing’s crisp and cold voice was actually quite pleasant, and one could barely discern a hint of reassurance, “Don’t be afraid, I will hunt the demons quietly by myself, I won’t disturb anyone else.” Believe that! The man helpless, thought that only the Empress could now stop her from entering the city. Yet, with such a commotion, there was no sign of the Empress intervening; it seemed that she did not oppose Su Jing entering the city? The man in charge could only smile reluctantly and said, “Then, please keep the noise down, Miss, and be as gentle as possible.” It was purely a sarcastic remark. If Su Jing knew the meaning of gentleness, there wouldn’t be so many madmen in the world. He didn’t expect the cool woman to respond to his mockery. Silently, she stepped aside to clear the path. The woman in white moved through the snowstorm. As they brushed past each other, she responded to his words. “The demon is troublesome and vicious; it indeed deserves a gentle treatment.” The man didn’t respond right away, baffled, he replied, “Gentle treatment for something so troublesome and vicious? Then what’s the use of the demon?” Su Jing had already walked far away, but her voice still drifted with the wind, “It must come, then hide it well! Treasure it up my sleeve!” Hide it well, even emphasized on treasuring! This demon must be something extraordinary! … … Baili An shook off the snow from his jacket as soon as he entered the inn. He pulled out Afu Tu from his sleeve. The just-awoken Afu Tu finally realized, had it really been stuffed into a sleeve all along? Baili An buried his face in its fluffy ears, inhaling deeply as if he was replenishing some odd substance, his vitality lost from motion sickness seemingly recovering a bit. The rabbit’s ears trembled, and beneath the fluff, its cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. Fang Geyu took a dagger, and without waiting for Baili An to notice and stop her, she swiftly let out a bowl of blood, placing it on the desk. Seeing Baili An’s bizarre behavior, she looked down on him, “In my family, there are women who love cats, and they spend their days madly inhaling and getting intoxicated with cats. How can a grown man have such a hobby, to actually like inhaling rabbits? But come to think of it, can you even breathe or smell?”
