is... is that right... Well, there are more and more of them lately... Go on, put this back where you found it..."The black cat picked up the finger and vanished into the night through the crack in th...I was helped up by Mu Wanchen, the place where Ling Zheng had bitten me still ached faintly, and it tingled.

"Are you alright" he asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, hurry and help Master Yunfan! That woman in red is a monster! She just stretched her neck!" I rubbed my aching chest.

What hit me It felt like being slammed by a massive wooden log, knocking the air out of my lungs. But my body seems fine otherwise.

I got up, and the spirit snake Bai Ni bowed beside me. I hugged its neck and muttered, “Those two peddlers wanted to take me away! Luckily, Master Yun Fan was so quick-witted…”

Mu Wanchen also stood up and said, "That's right, that's right. You were knocked down and couldn't even make a sound. You should learn from Mu Yunfan how to be more cunning."

"...Wasn't I knocked unconscious"

"Remember to scream loud before you faint." He reached out and ruffled my hair, then walked towards the several security guards over there.

Uncle Yun Fan's identity is sensitive; he could shoot at these bad guys, but he couldn't shoot at ordinary people.

Two of the guards, I recognized them—they were the ones who handled the Green Dolls. The toxins from above had seeped into their skin, making their eyes vacant, their movements sluggish, and completely beyond their control.

Mu Wanchen walked up behind a security guard, raised his hand and pushed up the guard's jaw, causing him to lose his balance and freeing Master Yun Fan in the process.

That dude in fancy gear, descending from the sky with that ponytail, carried his sword on his shoulder, hands resting casually on it, and lazily asked, "What are you guys doing~~~ Get rid of all this nonsense! It's almost the end of the season and I want to push for Diamond One. I only have time to come play with you after that!"

Yun Fan's master rolled his eyes and waved his hands at him, saying, "I'm busy now. Look, I still have to catch people. You don't even help!"

The ponytail man raised an eyebrow, glanced at me, then at the snake-spirit Bai Ni beside me, and said dismissively, "You two need my help with this I'll keep an eye on this little girl while you go catch someone."

He's such a slacker.

Mu Wanchen glanced at Yun Fan, his master. Yun Fan rubbed his shoulders and said, "Since you trust me, let's go. We don't want to lose them!"

"Good." Mu Wanchen raised his hand, and several birds flew over from somewhere, flying towards the direction where the woman in red was fleeing.

They went after the man in black suits, and I stood there, staring dumbfounded at the woman with a ponytail wielding a sword who descended from the sky like some powerful figure.

"Little girl, what is your name" he asked in a condescending tone.

"...Yin Luo." I replied.

He raised an eyebrow and circled me, sizing me up before muttering, “You're so weak, why are you hanging around that Great Shaman Don't you value your life”

“Mind your own business!” This guy started stirring up trouble the moment he opened his mouth.

"Well, you're pretty tough. Do you have some kind of superpower or something How else could you get bitten by a centipede and be perfectly fine" he asked again.

I frowned. "Who are you What's with the attitude"

"My name is Ji Du. If it weren't for the fact that you are the Witch Queen, I wouldn't even bother watching over you... You were bitten here, and you seem fine"

He pointed at my chest with the scabbard of his longsword.

I wasn't bitten! What was he talking about

Seeing my suspicious expression, he frowned and said, “What, you still doubt my words Celestial immortals and honored gods have always been unwilling to involve themselves with sorcery. These obscure and secret arts are not part of the orthodox path, and associating with them can easily damage one's cultivation. You should quickly find Mu Wanchen to help you detoxify.”

I reached out and pulled open my collar, using my phone to shine a light on my chest. There were two red dots, the size of red beans!

When was I bitten!

He looked at me with astonishment and smirked triumphantly, "Could the Star Master be deceiving you At a glance, I can see a cloud of poison surrounding your chest...Just now, when I saw that cloaked man's robes revealing insect horns beneath, I presume his soulbound worm is a highly refined centipede."

"You saw that" I asked in surprise. "With your entrance being so flashy, how could you even see what was under their sleeve"

"Nonsensical! Everyone knows who this star god is. Don't even need to land to recognize him."

"Then why don't you help!" I blurted out. "Master Yun Fan and the others are just ordinary people, they'd be in danger if stung!"

This Xingjun named Ji Du raised an eyebrow, then shouldered his sword again, grinning with a carefree air: "What are you worried about Do you think Mu Yunfan is made of tofu Mu Wanchen is practically immune to this sort of thing. He wouldn't need my help, and besides, the Three Realms have their own affairs. It's not our place to meddle in human matters…"

"...You, you are really a fairy"

Nonsense.

"The most exalted immortal I've ever seen was an Emperor, radiating celestial energy and commanding respect in every way. How... how can you possibly... look like a delinquent" I whispered.

I think I've already been very tactful. Not saying he's gossipy is already pushing it, I'm afraid of causing trouble with my words.

He let out a sneer: "Where's the delinquent This is clearly just carefree and unrestrained. If not for Mu Wanchen possessing the power of the Azure Dragon and having helped me before, I wouldn't even bother watching over his wife."

"Yes, yes, yes. Big boss, whatever you say is right, everything is right."

Live freely and do as you please, who are we to judge when they're a big shot from the heavens

"Hey, little girl, are you just standing here or should I take you home first" he asked bluntly. "I'm not here to be a statue."

"Alright, alright! You're the boss, you make the call. Diamond One it is, then! Master Yunfan is too busy to take you, I will!"

"What did you say" he asked, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

“I said I could bring it.” I flashed him my teeth.

"...What rank are you"

"King, conquer!"

"……”

Ji Du Xingjun's temper seems to be rather bad, but he is indeed quite free-spirited, unrestrained, and doesn't mince words. He also doesn't care much for the constraints that celestial beings and gods are expected to follow.

If I hadn't seen him descend from the sky with a trail of light, I might have thought he was a big shot gangster.

I don't know how he became such close friends with Master Yun Fan, but judging by his laid-back appearance, it wouldn't be easy to get him to help.

"Lord Xingjun, why don't you help Master Yunfan Aren't you good friends" I asked cautiously.

"Such trivial matters do not require the intervention of this celestial being."

"Then why did you come to the mortal realm"

"It's crunch time at the end of the season!"

"Well, if Master Yunfan gets hurt, then no one will take you on a rush mission anymore."

"Didn't you say you brought it"

Countless Star Lord sat in the passenger seat, stepping on the front of someone else's car. The driver was about to complain, so I resignedly stuffed a red paper bill into the driver's shirt pocket. The driver glanced at me sideways.

I clasped my hands together and begged, "Please, please, I can't afford to offend you. Could you just give me a moment to wipe this away"

The driver hummed twice, pretending to be blind.

My little move didn't escape the eyes of Lord Ji Dou Xing. He glanced at me with a smirk and said, "Not bad, not bad, you're more clever than Mu Xiao Qiao."

"...I wouldn't dare compare myself to my junior wife." using this method could minimize your harm...""At first, we planned to use a substitution technique, replacing the spirit child you carry with a wooden puppet as the focal point of the formation.""Bu...
