Chapter 291: Strategy in Progress
Just when Lu Yuan and Nie Xiaoqian were playing around, Yan Chixia walked over from outside not far away.
"What smells so good?" Yan Chixia smelled the hot pot aroma in the air.
Then he sniffed it carefully and continued.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong, it's not good! There's evil energy!" Yan Chixia said, looking towards the lighted room.
He rushed to the gate and kicked it directly, and the gate fell down!
He glanced at the pot and found that the fragrance was coming from it.
But at this moment, the yin energy in the room was particularly heavy.
Lu Yuan and his partner, who were hugging and kissing each other, were suddenly frightened by the noise next door.
Then the two let go of each other!
Lu Yuan looked at the beautiful Nie Xiaoqian, his cheeks flushed at this moment.
Just as she was about to say something, Nie Xiaoqian already knew that the bearded man was calling.
She glanced at Lu Yuan who was still standing beside her and immediately spoke.
"Sir, hide quickly, there are people outside, I'm afraid it's a bad guy.
I'll go out and lure him out for you, sir, you quickly hide."
When Lu Yuan heard this, he quickly reached out and held her in his arms and said.
"Xiao Qian, what are you talking about? A real man should take responsibility for his actions!
You and I have already become intimate, so there is no reason for a man to let a woman protect him."
Nie Xiaoqian didn't expect Lu Yuan to say that. Just as she was about to speak, the door of the room was immediately kicked open by Yan Chixia.
"Okay, you, I'm here, and you still want to hurt others, take your life!"
Lu Yuan watched Yan Chixia draw the sword from his back and stab towards Nie Xiaoqian.
He quickly protected her behind him and yelled at Yan Chixia.
"Hey! Who are you and why are you hurting others?"
Yan Chixia saw Lu Yuan's actions and was about to explain, but Lu Yuan immediately spoke.
"Xiao Qian, run quickly, I will hold him back." As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, he grabbed the backpack on the ground and threw it towards Yan Chixia.
Then he grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's hand and ran outside.
After the two of them went outside, Lu Yuan let go of Nie Xiaoqian's hand, then picked up a stone on the ground and spoke to her.
"Xiao Qian, I think that man is very skilled in martial arts! I'm afraid we won't be able to escape even if we run together.
You go first, I'll hold him back, after all, we have become intimate.
Therefore, I will protect you even if I lose my life, so leave quickly."
Nie Xiaoqian looked at Lu Yuan's attitude, her eyes full of emotion, and nodded slightly.
"Take care, sir. Xiaoqian will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future." After saying that, she turned and ran in another direction.
After seeing Nie Xiaoqian leave, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, raised the stone in his hand and threw it at Yan Chixia, and shouted loudly: "Come on!"
Yan Chixia dodged the stone easily, came to Lu Yuan in a few steps, raised the scabbard and hit Lu Yuan's hand. Lu Yuan pretended to be in pain and the stone fell to the ground.
"Boy, you seem to be a good person, so why do you hang out with a female ghost? That female ghost wants to kill you!" Yan Chixia asked angrily.
"Bah, big bearded man, you can kill me or chop me up as you please! What do you mean I'm a female ghost?
I think you are attracted by her beauty and are planning to deceive me so that you can keep her for yourself." Lu Yuan retorted.
"Hey! You scholar don't know what's good for you. Get out of the way. I'm going to exorcise demons and monsters." Yan Chixia said, and then he walked around Lu Yuan and planned to chase Nie Xiaoqian.
Lu Yuan quickly reached out and hugged him and roared.
"Big Beard, I'm here today, so don't think about doing anything to me unless I'm dead."
Upon seeing this, Yan Chixia knew that he couldn't explain it to Lu Yuan in a short time, so he decided to knock him out and take him away first, to prevent the female ghost from coming back later.
Then he reached out and tapped Lu Yuan's neck, and Lu Yuan pretended to faint.
Then he picked him up and put him back in the room.
After covering Lu Yuan with a blanket, he left the room and came to the pot that Lu Yuan had just used.
He looked under the pot and saw some charcoal fire, so he found some firewood and threw it in, then lit the fire again.
After a while, the hot pot base in the pot, bubbling in the hot water, emitted a fragrant aroma.
"Hehe! This kid has a pretty good life. He has all these delicious things."
Yan Chixia said this, and then took out the rabbit he had caught tonight from his arms.
Skin and gut the rabbit and place it in the pot.
After a long while, when the rabbit in the pot was cooked, he scooped out the meat, sandwiched it between the steamed buns, and took a bite.
"Hmm! It smells really good. It tastes really good. It smells good and tastes even better!"
Yan Chixia sighed a few words and quickly ate up all the rabbit meat in the pot.
Then he looked at the soup in the pot and saw that he had eaten all of it with the steamed buns.
"You're lucky, kid! I'll keep watch for you tonight."
Then he came to the door of the room, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
With a wave of his right hand, a stream of magical power extinguished the candles in the room.
On the other side, Nie Xiaoqian, after parting with Lu Yuan, she knew that Yan Chixia would not kill anyone.
She only knows how to exorcise demons and monsters, so she doesn't worry about Lu Yuan's safety at all.
When she returned under the big tree, her grandmother asked her about it.
"Xiao Qian, where is that kid? Why don't you turn on the ringing bell?"
"Grandma, the big bearded man was here, so Xiaoqian couldn't succeed for the time being!" Nie Xiaoqian replied while kneeling on the ground.
"This damn Yan Chixia always ruins my plans! Sooner or later he must die!..." The tree demon vented his anger and cursed for a while.
"Okay, since we didn't succeed today, let's go back and rest." The tree demon waved his hand and let them leave.
"Thank you, grandma!" Nie Xiaoqian responded and got up and left.
The next day, the sun rises.
Lu Yuan was awakened by the sound of sword dancing outside the door.
"Big Beard, you didn't kill me?" After Lu Yuan came out, he saw Yan Chixia and asked in confusion.
"Hmph! Boy, now that you're awake, hurry up and leave before daybreak! This is not a place for a scholar like you to stay." Yan Chixia replied while dancing with the sword.
"Hmph! Say whatever you want. Since you won't kill me, I'm going to find my Xiaoqian!" After Lu Yuan said this, he packed up his things angrily, put on his backpack and left.
His spiritual consciousness had already locked onto Nie Xiaoqian's grave, but there was no urn for her ashes in her grave.
Her urn is under a big tree, and Nie Xiaoqian is now resting inside it.
Now that the location of the urn has been locked, it will be easy.
Then he pretended to look for Nie Xiaoqian, shouting as he walked.
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian, where are you!"
He walked through the overgrown woods and unknowingly came to the side of the tree demon.
"Wow! This tree is so big. Let's take a rest first!" Lu Yuan exclaimed as he put down the backpack.
Then he built a fire and tried to get some lunch.
However, not far from him, Yan Chixia was standing on a tree, looking at Lu Yuan with a serious expression.
Originally he was planning to send Lu Yuan away, but then he thought about when he was planning to go out to buy wine yesterday.
But after realizing that he couldn't leave, he didn't drive Lu Yuan away.
But now, this kid actually ran under the tree monster.
He could only hope now that the tree demon didn't dare to attack during the day.
Lu Yuan cleaned the pot and put water in it. As soon as the water boiled, he started to soak instant noodles.
He didn’t dare to say how delicious the instant noodles were, but the only thing was that they tasted fragrant enough.
Lu Yuan's every move was seen by a group of female ghosts and the tree demon Yan Chixia.
The tree demon would not take action unless it saw Yan Chixia nearby.
It knew that this was its true body. If Yan Chixia tried to deal with it, it might be difficult to deal with it.
As for Lu Yuan, he is just a mortal. At most, we can just let him go for the time being.
However, Nie Xiaoqian under the big tree looked at Lu Yuan with a worried look on her face, secretly shouting in her heart.
"Go away! Why did you come to see me?"
She was extremely anxious, but it was broad daylight and she had no choice but to go out.
Yan Chixia watched Lu Yuan eating instant noodles with relish. The aroma was even more fragrant than last night.
He didn't know how much he swallowed.
Lu Yuan pretended he knew nothing and continued eating instant noodles.
But under his spiritual consciousness, the performance of everyone appeared in front of him one by one.
This almost made him unable to hold back his laughter. In his vision, the tree demon, who looked like a human demon, was also swallowing his saliva constantly.
Even under the body of the tree, the roots were restlessly moving around.
After he finished his instant noodles and packed up his things, he started walking around the mountains again.
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian! Where are you? That bearded guy is not a bad guy. I'm here to find you."
We walked and shouted along the way, and before we knew it, the sky gradually darkened.
Lu Yuan also returned to Ruolan Temple unknowingly.
After it got dark, the tree demon began to move. She said to the ghosts below.
“Xiao Qian, it seems that you are quite charming. Such a fair-skinned scholar is thinking about you.”
"Grandma, thank you for the compliment! This is all thanks to you!" Nie Xiaoqian responded while kneeling.
"Well! Now that kid has gone back, Yan Chixia is here too. It depends on your performance later." The tree demon said to Nie Xiaoqian.
On Lu Yuan's side, after dinner, Yan Chixia was driven back to the house where Lu Yuan lived.
Not long after he lay down, he heard the sound of a piano!
“Haha! Isn’t this the scene where Ning Caichen was attracted to the pavilion by the lake?”
Lu Yuan said this lightly, then stood up and walked quietly towards the direction of the piano sound.
On Yan Chixia's side, he saw Lu Yuan's movement and was about to follow him.
He sensed that the tree demon was moving on the side, and thought to himself.
“This kid looks lucky, let’s ignore him for now.
This tree demon is probably harming people again, I have to go there quickly."
Yan Chixia muttered a few words, then ran towards the noise made by the tree demon.
On the other side, Lu Yuan came to the lake and looked at the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Nie Xiaoqian was wearing a white gauze dress and stroking the strings of the zither with both hands.
He walked towards the pavilion just as Ning Caichen had done.
"Xiao Qian, is that you, Xiao Qian?" Lu Yuan asked as he walked.
"Mr. Lu, now you are here, listen to me, it's not safe here, you should leave as soon as possible." Nie Xiaoqian said as she sensed the surroundings.
Lu Yuan pretended to know nothing.
"How can it be unsafe here? I've been walking around all day and I haven't seen anything dangerous!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he planned to sit next to her. When Nie Xiaoqian saw the fog starting to spread around them, she knew that her grandma was coming.
She pushed Lu Yuan away and shouted loudly.
"Go away! You are not related to me, get out of here! You are not welcome here!"
Lu Yuan pretended to be shocked and said with a sad face.
"But, but we were intimate yesterday, and you are the one I have chosen to be my daughter-in-law.
This cannot be changed in this lifetime. Is it because your family members don’t agree?
It's okay, just tell me, I'll go back with you and help you convince your family."
Nie Xiaoqian listened to Lu Yuan's sincere confession and met his eyes full of love.
She quickly looked away, pushed Lu Yuan away, and then said.
"Go away, I don't like you, and I don't want to marry you.
I was just teasing you yesterday, how could you take it seriously?
I never said I like you, get out of here!"
Nie Xiaoqian became more and more anxious as she spoke, because she sensed that her grandmother was getting closer and closer to them.
