“Black-Clad Man? Could it be that an Evil Cultivator has come here?!”
At this, Shen Qingyi was at a loss.
Though she had a spiritual root and just a little cultivation, she didn’t have the slightest bit of combat ability!
Everyone in Hao Ren Town were pure mortals, and if it really was an Evil Cultivator, then together with her, the Little Immortal Doctor, wouldn’t all the townsfolk of Hao Ren Town end up being refined into the Wan Hun Banner?!
Ugh!
Just thinking about that scene made Shen Qingyi scared.
This wouldn’t do.
As the only one in town with even a sliver of cultivation, she had to take responsibility!
She definitely wouldn’t let the Evil Cultivator refine everyone into the Wan Hun Banner!
However, her entire train of thought was written all over her face, and Su Qiulian could see it clearly.
Originally, seeing Shen Qingyi’s frightened expression, Su Qiulian thought her chance had come, and she could rack up a big wave of favorability!
But then, she saw that the just-terrified Little Shen, for some inexplicable reason, suddenly puffed up with courage, as if she was about to risk her life fighting someone.
This scared Su Qiulian instead; she couldn’t bear for Shen Qingyi to take risks, nor did she want her to get mixed up in such matters.
She hurriedly said, “I think Old Wangtou just got a heatstroke and was seeing things. How could there possibly be an Evil Cultivator?”
“Huh? Heatstroke? But it’s already autumn, isn’t it? How could he have a heatstroke?”
Shen Qingyi asked, puzzled.
Left with no choice, Su Qiulian could only use the Fox Enchantment Art again to influence Old Wangtou, and then he really believed he’d had a heatstroke, hurriedly saying, “Ah, yes, yes, yes! It must be heatstroke! How could anyone turn into black smoke in broad daylight! Aiya, I really should cool off more these days!”
“Ha? Grandpa Wang, are you really all right?”
Shen Qingyi asked, frowning.
This wasn’t right.
Something was definitely off!
But before she could think further, Su Qiulian walked up behind her, took her hand, and said, “Alright, alright, Little Shen, since they’re both fine now, let’s head home. It’s already getting late!”
“Ah, oh… eh?!”
Shen Qingyi was about to nod, but immediately caught the meaning in Su Qiulian’s words.
This person was a total pervert!
She almost agreed to go home with her just like that.
No way, she couldn’t just go back—who knew what Su Qiulian wanted to do!
Right, with everyone outside right now, she could call for help and have them beat up this pervert!
As soon as the thought struck, Shen Qingyi opened her mouth to shout, but was unexpectedly scooped up by Su Qiulian in a princess carry.
Forced to cling to Su Qiulian’s neck, Shen Qingyi shouted in panic, “You—what are you doing? Didn’t we agree not to do this outside…”
But before she could finish, Su Qiulian interrupted her.
Su Qiulian brought her cherry-red lips close to Shen Qingyi’s ear and whispered with a charming voice, “If Little Shen wants to know why those two became like that, then just be good and come back with me. After all, Little Shen is everyone’s Shen Immortal Doctor—you wouldn’t want everyone’s lives to be in danger, right?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyi couldn’t help but shiver, her whole body tensing up.
It wasn’t from fear, but that strange sense of déjà vu appeared again.
Had she been held like this by this woman many times before?
What was going on?
Why did she feel this way?
Noticing her reaction, Su Qiulian thought Shen Qingyi didn’t believe her, so she lowered her voice and said, “But if Little Shen really wants to know the truth, I’ll tell you when we get home, how about it?”
“R-really? Don’t lie to me!”
Shen Qingyi turned her head and said to her.
“Of course! So, Little Shen, shall we go back now?”
Su Qiulian still smiled as she spoke.
Her foxy eyes at that moment were alluring to the extreme—but only to Shen Qingyi.
Not that Shen Qingyi could see them anyway.
“Well…”
Shen Qingyi only hesitated a moment before nodding vigorously in agreement.
“Alright! Let’s go back now!”
For everyone’s safety, Shen Qingyi, you can do this!
But if she dares lie to me, I’ll bite her to death, even if I die!
Shen Qingyi will never be anyone’s slave!
“Very well, let’s head back first. You two are fine now!”
With those words, Su Qiulian carried Shen Qingyi and walked toward the door.
But at the doorway, Shen Qingyi called out to her.
“Hey! Didn’t we agree you wouldn’t touch me outside? Put me down, I can walk on my own!”
As she spoke, she started to struggle.
Su Qiulian could only put her down, but at the same time tapped her lightly on the waist.
Then, she gently teased Shen Qingyi’s delicate nose and said, “Now that’s called touching, Little Shen. Carrying you doesn’t count.”
“N-no… I want to walk by myself!”
Shen Qingyi still pouted stubbornly.
This made Su Qiulian’s heart bloom with joy, and she quickly found another excuse, continuing, “If Little Shen agrees to let me carry you back, I’ll make sure those two stay perfectly safe, how about that?”
At those words, Shen Qingyi was stunned and asked in disbelief, “You can really do that?”
“Of course! How else could I be worthy of sharing the same name as the Demon Emperor?”
“This… fine, I agree!”
Shen Qingyi could only nod.
“But you really have to make sure nothing happens to them!”
“Of course, of course. Little Shen, hold tight around my neck!”
Su Qiulian adjusted Shen Qingyi in her arms, letting her cling even closer.
Behind her, two tiny Fox Spirits leapt out, each landing on Old Wangtou and Li Da’s shoulders, vanishing from sight.
Then, with everyone watching outside, Su Qiulian carried Shen Qingyi and pushed open the door.
As soon as they saw Shen Immortal Doctor come out, the people outside all hurried up to ask questions.
“Shen Immortal Doctor, is Old Wangtou alright? He didn’t pass away, did he?”
The first person asked this, but after seeing Old Wangtou awake inside, he stopped pestering Su Qiulian and Shen Qingyi.
But the others were greatly curious about why Shen Immortal Doctor was being carried by such a beautiful woman.
Someone asked, “Hey, Shen Immortal Doctor, who is this beauty? Some distant relative?”
But right away, someone retorted, “Pfft! Can’t you see? Such a talented and beautiful pair—maybe she’s Shen Immortal Doctor’s sweetheart!”
Hearing this, Su Qiulian was delighted and immediately declared, “Auntie, you’re absolutely right! I am indeed Shen Immortal Doctor’s future wife!”
But as soon as she said this, she felt Shen Qingyi pinch her arm, then heard Shen Qingyi whisper in her ear, “Shameless! Hurry and go!”
Shen Qingyi immediately regretted it; being carried by this pervert was ruining her reputation!
Soon everyone in Hao Ren Town would gossip that the Shen Immortal Doctor had a fondness for ‘mirror polishing’ or something!
Her reputation was being utterly destroyed by this rotten pervert!
Pinched, Su Qiulian obediently sped up and walked out of the crowd, but once they were out, she whispered into Shen Qingyi’s ear, teasing her, “Why is Little Shen in such a hurry? Looks like we really do need to hurry home now!”
