Creak.
The door slowly opened.
An old lady looked at Zhantai Qingyin and smiled, "Little girl, are you lost?"
"Granny, I'm indeed lost. Can you tell me which way to go down the mountain?"
Zhantai Qingyin asked politely.
The old lady looked at the sky and shook her head, "It's going to be dark soon. If you go down the mountain now, you'll only be taken away by demonic beasts. Why don't you stay here for a night and go down the mountain tomorrow morning?"
Stay here for a night?
Zhantai Qingyin hesitated. She didn't know the owner of this house at all. If she met someone like Hu Yuan, it would be hard to guard against him.
But as the old lady said, the sky was going to be dark soon. If she got lost again, she would have to spend the night alone in the wilderness. Even if Zhantai Qingyin was a level-8 Qi Condensation expert, she was still a little fearful.
"Don't worry, my Miss isn't a bad person. There was a group of young heroes around your age who got lost in the courtyard."
The old lady smiled.
"Is that so?"
Zhantai Qingyin's eyes moved slightly, then she smiled and nodded, "Then I'll be disturbing your Miss."
Zhantai Qingyin followed behind the old lady and entered the courtyard. On the way, she was very vigilant. The True Qi in her body was stirring. As long as there was danger, she would immediately counterattack.
Soon, she heard laughter. It seemed like many people were chatting together. The voices came from the end of the corridor on the left. There was a hall there, and it seemed like a banquet was being held there. Many people were sitting behind their small tables, and the tables were filled with sumptuous dishes.
In the depths of the hall sat a woman. She was extremely beautiful and wore white clothes, giving off an otherworldly feeling. When Zhantai Qingyin arrived, the woman stood up and said with a smile, "Young lady, please make yourself at home. It's rare for me to have so many guests, so don't feel restrained."
Zhantai Qingyin nodded slightly and found an empty table to sit down. Soon, her table was also filled with dishes.
In a short period of time, Zhantai Qingyin had already sized up the people in front of her. Most of them were level-3 or level-4 cultivators.
He didn't know which small sect's disciples had left the mountain to train. From their conversation, he learned that they had also gotten lost. Then, they saw this house and were invited in by the house's owner, Miss Zhu.
"Miss Zhu, I really admire you for being able to build a house in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Today, thanks to Miss Zhu's hospitality, my junior brothers and sisters don't have to sleep in the wild. I propose a toast to you."
A youth of about eighteen or nineteen raised the wine glass in his hand. When he looked at Miss Zhu, there was a trace of shyness in his eyes, as well as a trace of adoration that he was trying his best to conceal.
"There's no need to be so polite, Young Master Lin."
Miss Zhu picked up her wine glass and took a sip.
Meanwhile.
Ning Qi also found himself lost.
"I think we've already passed this path. Something's not right here."
Ning Qi frowned slightly and his Celestial Eyes slowly opened. This time, he finally saw the path in front of him clearly. The place that was originally a mountain wall was the real path! Not far away, a mansion entered Ning Qi's line of sight.
Ning Qi looked at the mansion and his eyes flashed with spiritual energy. He took in all the auras in the mansion, including the old woman who had been standing behind the door of the mansion.
The old woman stood behind the door and seemed to be waiting for something. She was quiet and silent like a statue. Only when Ning Qi looked over did she notice it and a smile appeared on her face.
"Demons and monsters."
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness as he slowly walked towards the mansion.
He had already confirmed that the ghostly wall just now was definitely related to this mansion. The blood on the old woman's body was coagulated and there was no vitality in her flesh. She was similar to a zombie, but not a zombie. He didn't know what kind of strange demon she was, but he was sure that she wasn't a demon in disguise.
Creak.
The door slowly opened and the old woman looked at Ning Qi with a smile. "Mister, are you lost?"
"Yes."
Ning Qi nodded.
"Mister, it's getting dark soon and there are many demonic beasts in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Miss is hosting a banquet. If you don't mind, you can stay here for a night and go down the mountain with the guests tomorrow."
The old woman said.
"Lead the way."
Ning Qi said calmly.
The old woman was slightly stunned. She felt that Ning Qi's attitude was weird and he didn't seem polite at all. However, her expression didn't change and she continued to lead the way with a smile. Very soon, she brought Ning Qi to the hall.
In the hall, other than Zhantai Qing Yin, everyone else seemed to have drunk a lot of wine. The fragrance of wine filled the air, and everyone looked tipsy. As for that Young Master Lin, he even used the courage to express his goodwill to Miss Zhu.
When Ning Qi appeared, everyone's gaze turned towards Ning Qi. The old granny smiled at Young Lady Zhu and said, "Young Lady, this young master is also lost."
"Please take a seat."
Miss Zhu smiled and nodded.
Ning Qi casually found a seat and sat down. When the old woman saw this, she turned and left.
Zhantai Qingyin looked at Ning Qi with a weird expression. How could a five-year-old kid get lost in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range?
"Kid, what are you doing in the Thousand Demon Mountain Range?"
Zhantai Qingyin said softly.
The seat that Ning Qi chose was right beside her.
"Work."
Ning Qi said calmly. He didn't look at Zhantai Qingyin but at Miss Zhu. His unwavering gaze could easily cause misunderstandings. That Mister Lin was already a little uncomfortable at this moment and would glare at Ning Qi from time to time.
Under his celestial eyes, nothing could hide unless the other party's cultivation was higher than Ning Qi's.
In Ning Qi's eyes, the peerless Miss Zhu had already become an old man in his seventies or eighties! At this moment, the old man pursed his lips and revealed a very deliberate smile. He was exchanging toasts with Mister Lin and the others. Occasionally, when he heard Mister Lin's jokes, he would cover his mouth and chuckle.
If not for Ning Qi's strong and indomitable temperament, he would definitely vomit at this moment.
Mister Lin's eyes were filled with admiration and he no longer concealed it. When he realized that Ning Qi was still staring at the goddess in his heart, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He stood up abruptly and looked at Ning Qi. "Kid, you keep looking at Miss Zhu. What dirty thoughts are you thinking about?!"
This sentence instantly made a few of his junior brothers reveal guilty expressions. However, they immediately reacted and concealed the panic in their hearts as they looked at Ning Qi.
Zhantai Qingyin's heart stirred. She carefully sized up Ning Qi and a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.
She believed that this child in front of her should be the young expert who had rescued her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters!
