C997 Search for Mountain Demon

Walking out of the ward, Jin Xuelei stopped. He turned around and looked at the figure that had followed him.

"What are you doing here?" Jin Xuelei frowned.

Zhou Qing raised her sharp chin and met Jin Xuelei's gaze. She said, "I know that you're not looking for any medicine, but for the thing that took away Senior Sister's soul. I want to go with you."

Jin Xuelei curled his lips and smiled, "You're quite smart."

"So …"

"So I've decided to take you with me …" Jin Xuelei couldn't help but point at Zhou Qingguang's forehead.

"..."

Jiang City,

"Can you not walk around in front of me?" Mo Qincheng glanced at the man walking back and forth in front of her and rubbed her forehead tiredly. Recently, there had been a lot of work, just in time for the overseas branch to open.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but walk a few more steps before stopping to look at Mo Qingcheng. "Qingcheng, the Divine Soul Power on Zhou Qing's luggage seems to have sensed something. I'm not sure yet, but I'm afraid that Zhou Qing is in danger."

"You … you followed her?" Mo Qingcheng looked at her husband in disbelief. It was hard to believe that they could do such a thing.

The corner of Zhou Yi's eyes twitched. Then, he looked at Mo Qingcheng and explained, "No, I'm just worried about her safety."

Mo Qingcheng stopped what she was doing, looked at Zhou Yi with a serious face and said, "Zhou Qing is already an adult. Besides, she's just going out with her classmates to participate in a performance, how could she encounter any danger? Have you thought about how she would feel?"

Zhou Yi was at a loss for words.

"Think about it. If you always have a pair of prying eyes by your side, would you like it?" Mo Qingcheng stood up and leaned on the desk with both hands as she looked at the man opposite her.

"I..."

"So, you have to give her her own space, so she can go by herself. If you're worried, you can teach her how to cultivate so that she can protect herself, or you can give her a defensive formation, and not peep at her from time to time!"

Mo Qingcheng interrupted Zhou Yi and said word by word.

Zhou Yi sighed, then sat on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

And at this time, the Divine Soul Power was also retracted by him.

At this moment, Zhou Qing and Jin Xuelei were rushing towards the forest where the lake was located.

"Are you sure you can feel it here?" It was already around 9 pm and the city was brightly lit. However, there weren't even any street lights along the way. Only Jin Xuelei's car's headlights extended into the distance.

"That's right. The moment I got off at the edge of the forest, I felt a strange cool breeze. It made me feel very uncomfortable." Zhou Qing subconsciously shrunk her neck as she thought about what she felt at that moment.

"Don't be afraid!" Jin Xuelei couldn't help but smile.

The interior of the car wasn't bright. Zhou Qing couldn't help but blush after hearing Jin Xuelei's words.

Jin Xuelei also felt the anger spreading from inside the car. He couldn't help but cough dryly: "Then if you come out, is your father relieved?"

"Huh?" Zhou Qing couldn't react for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, "What's there to be worried about? I'm already an adult …"

At this point, Zhou Qing felt that there was something wrong with what she just said. She wanted to add on something, but her lips moved but no words came out.

The two remained silent until they reached the forest.

"Let's go!" Jin Xuelei opened the car door for Zhou Qing and said.

Zhou Qing thanked him and got out of the car.

When Jin Xuelei was sensing the situation in the hospital, he felt that the other party was Mountain Demon, a person who absorbed human yang energy. His cultivation level was not high, otherwise, with just one hit, the girl on the sickbed would have died.

He didn't understand why Zhou Qing's soul and spirit had been taken away. Perhaps it was because of Zhou Qing.

A layer of energy fluctuations rippled out from Zhou Qing's body. Perhaps she didn't even know that, but Mountain Demon thought that Zhou Qing had a cultivation base, which was why he was wary of her.

Zhou Qing only felt a chill in her heart, but the fact that her Yang Qi hadn't been absorbed by Mountain Demon was the best proof of this.

The two of them entered the forest one after another. After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived in front of the lake.

"It's here!" Zhou Qing took a glance at the surroundings. She thought it was a beautiful scenery during the day, but when she came at night, she felt that it was a dark mass everywhere. It made her heart tremble uncontrollably.

Jin Xuelei turned around, took off his jacket and draped it over Zhou Qing's body. He said gently, "Stand back a little!"

Zhou Qing responded softly and took a dozen steps back.

Then Jin Xuelei looked at the motionless lake surface and made a decision. Then, he chanted an incantation.

As Jin Xuelei started chanting faster and faster, there was finally a reaction in the lake.

At the beginning, it was only a small ripple, but soon after, the ripple got bigger and bigger. Next, it was followed by a rolling bubble, which quickly came surging up from the bottom of the lake in a grey-white pattern.

Jin Xuelei was shocked!

He thought it was a Mountain Demon, but it didn't look like it.

That thing is in the water, how could it be Mountain Demon?

As the lake water kept churning upwards, an extremely strong pressure shot out from the lake, making Jin Xuelei's throat feel sweet.

He didn't have time to think about it. Before the thing came out, he turned around and ran towards Zhou Qing, who was not far away. Then he pulled her hand and ran out of the woods.

"What happened? Can't you beat the things inside? " Zhou Qing turned her head to look at what was behind her as she ran, but all she could see was pitch-black darkness.

Hearing Zhou Qing's words, the corner of Jin Xuelei's mouth slightly twitched. He didn't know why, but he felt frustrated when a girl said he couldn't beat that thing.

Hearing that Jin Xuelei didn't answer her, Zhou Qing reached for the phone in her sports coat. She wanted to call her father.

However, the two of them were running too fast. In just a split-second, Zhou Qing's phone fell onto the pitch black grass.

"Sigh …" Zhou Qing wanted to turn back to look for it, but Jin Xuelei had already pulled her across the grass.

Roar!

Zhou Qing had never heard of a growl coming from behind her. Judging by the sound alone, that thing was definitely not small.

Boom! *

Just as she was puzzled, a dull sound of impact came from the front, followed by Jin Xuelei's low cursing.

At the same time, her body couldn't help but crash into Jin Xuelei, who suddenly stopped in front of her.

Zhou Qing sucked in a breath of cold air as she felt pain on her forehead.

"What's up ahead?" Zhou Qing's words were blown away by the wind because Jin Xuelei had already pulled her away and ran in the other direction.

Just when she thought that the person pulling her had been moved, his voice rang out, "That thing has set up a barrier. We're trapped."

When Zhou Qing heard this message, her mind went blank for a few seconds. Then, with a trembling voice, she said, "Quickly give me your phone. I want to call my parents. They're the only ones who can save us!"1

The moment she said that, Jin Xuelei handed her his phone. However, to Zhou Qing's dismay, she discovered that there was no signal on his phone right now …
