In the quiet night, a sudden scream was heard.

Chu Liang quickly flew over and found two maids from the mountain villa huddled together in panic and crying. He quickly calmed them down and asked what had happened.

"There was a figure over there..." One of the maids, who was still somewhat conscious, pointed to the woods outside the courtyard. "It suddenly disappeared like a gust of wind. It was so scary!"

Chu Liang told them to go back to their rooms and flew towards the direction they pointed to.

Expanding his divine sense, he felt a faint demonic aura in the air, which was quite weak. It was probably leaked accidentally during movement.

He followed the trail of the demonic aura and soon saw a colorful figure standing outside another courtyard. It was quite conspicuous in the night, no wonder the maid saw it at a glance.

When the figure heard Chu Liang approaching, it turned and flew away at an astonishing speed.

Chu Liang chased after it, but the figure was incredibly fast, as if swimming in water without any resistance. Even a Golden Elixir cultivator would have difficulty catching up. However, Chu Liang was no longer the same as before, and he had other magical tools in his arsenal.

He raised his hand and summoned his Green Leaf, stepping on a large leaf like a flying carpet and chasing after the figure.

Although he was not very proficient in "micro-control," he could still try it out for short distances. He couldn't just let the demon escape.

Chu Liang's figure turned into an afterimage as he chased after the demon. The demon seemed surprised that Chu Liang could catch up so quickly and became more frantic.

After a short chase, they arrived at the bank of the Qin Nan River outside the Nan Guan City. If the demon entered the water, Chu Liang had no way to use his magical powers underwater.

The demon was a graceful woman. Just as she was about to jump into the water, Chu Liang had a sudden idea and shouted, "Go!"

He flipped his body and landed lightly on the ground while the leaf under his feet continued to move forward. In an instant, the leaf was positioned directly under the demon.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Chu Liang changed his finger gestures and shouted, "Defend!"

Swish-The large green leaf rolled up and wrapped the demon into a big dumpling, which floated in mid-air. Chu Liang summoned the leaf back with a wave of his hand.

"Mmm….." There were muffled sounds of struggling and flapping from inside the dumpling, as if the demon was trying to escape.

"Hmph." Chu Liang snorted.

Trying to escape? I can't even escape from being wrapped up!

This suddenly reminded Chu Liang of a sentence: trash is just a resource placed in the wrong place… although it's not very appropriate. The defensive array created by Wen Yulong was not good for defense, but it was excellent for control.

He gently lifted the "big dumpling" and returned to Li's Manor.

...

On the attic of Li's Manor, Chu Liang met with Lin Bei.

Both of them were holding one each.

"Wow, you have a new control device again?" Lin Bei looked at the tightly wrapped big dumpling in Chu Liang's hands, somewhat surprised.

"... Just consider it as a control device." Chu Liang whispered.

After briefly narrating what had just happened, Chu Liang placed the dumpling on the ground. With a hint of curiosity, the two slowly opened the green leaf.

Opening the box.

Whoosh-

A burst of green light flickered, and as the leaf slowly unfolded, it revealed a beautiful and ethereal face. The snow-white skin and messy hair, along with a pair of angry and puffy eyes.

"Bad guy!"

"Sleazy bad guy!"

As soon as the demon appeared, it saw Chu Liang outside and immediately shouted. Turning its head and seeing Lin Bei next to it, it cursed again.

Looking at her face, Chu Liang and Lin Bei were both surprised.

"Liu Xiaoyu?" They remembered her name.

During the day of the audition, many girls who sang and danced beautifully did not leave a deep impression on them. Unexpectedly, this innocent girl who could not sing or dance left a deep impression on them.

"Do you know me?" The little girl looked around, somewhat surprised.

"I saw you during the audition... So you are a demon." Chu Liang frowned and pondered, "So you wanted to sneak into Li's Manor during the day, did you have a plan?"

"I'm looking for my sister!" Liu Xiaoyu shouted.

"Sister?" Lin Bei raised his hand, "Tell us more."

The little girl looked at him, then at Chu Liang, her delicate eyebrows only slightly furrowed. "Will you let me go after I finish talking?"

"Miss Xiaoyu, you have been coming to Li's Manor frequently these days, causing some trouble, but you have not hurt anyone. As long as you promise not to come again in the future, we will not make things difficult for you." Chu Liang said, "However, no matter what your reason is for coming, I hope you can explain it clearly."

"This is not fair." A cultivator who pretended to be a ghost rolled over and raised his neck, "I didn't hurt anyone either. How come our treatment is different? You should at least tie her up like me before asking questions, right?""Get lost!" Lin Bei kicked him away with one foot, "Do you think I don't want to… Bah, what kind of people do you think we are?"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Xiaoyu with a smile, "Little sister, continue your story, don't be afraid."

"Um…" The little girl hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin Bei's face, and then at Chu Liang's face, as if trying to judge whether they were bad people or not. After a while, she finally spoke, "My sister and I were originally from the Jin Carp clan in the Jin Hua River…"

"Jin Carp, huh…" Chu Liang stroked his chin, considering them half-neighbors.

"We used to live happily in the Jin Hua River, but some bad people always came to destroy our peaceful life. My sister first cultivated some magical powers, while I was just a little carp that couldn't transform."

"One day, my sister said she would take me to play upstream. We swam to the location of Qin Nan River and suddenly encountered a huge tide. We were swept into a cave at the bottom of the river."

"To our surprise, there was an Amber Zhu Ti plant inside, with two ripe fruits on it. The larger one could increase one's magical power by 500 years, and the smaller one could increase it by 300 years. My sister let me eat the larger one, and after I ate it, I gained the ability to transform."

"The two of us were very happy, and we decided to go ashore and play after transforming. My sister said that from there, we could go to Nan Guan City."

"But when we came out of the cave, we encountered a giant tortoise spirit who wanted to eat us. We ran and ran, and eventually got separated. I accidentally bumped into a water mansion left by a fish demon predecessor, where there was a sitting fish spirit…"

"It left behind a flying fish spirit, which merged into my body. After that, I could swim very fast," the little girl continued.

"Wow…" Chu Liang couldn't help but exclaim.

As expected of the Jin Carp.

Adventures and treasures just came to them.

"After that, I thought that since my sister mentioned going to Nan Guan City before, I might as well go there to look for her," Liu Xiaoyu said, "But there were too many people in the city, and I didn't dare to go in. When I passed by this villa, I found my sister's fallen scales and her scent outside…"

"I thought she might be inside, so I wanted to come in and look for her…"

"But this place is too big, and I couldn't find her after searching for several days. Instead, you caught me," Liu Xiaoyu said softly, feeling wronged.

"I see." After listening to her story, Chu Liang nodded, "Tomorrow, I can help you ask the people here if they have seen your sister. You can't sneak in here at night anymore; it will scare people."

"Will you really help me?" Liu Xiaoyu looked at them timidly.

"Of course!" Lin Bei patted his chest, "I, your brother, love helping lost little girls the most."
