Tang Li glanced at his expression and knew that he was still bothered by what had just happened. She said to everyone, It’s all good now, don’t worry. We’ll start looking for Yuan Yuan’s soul tomorrow morning.”
Hearing that, they stopped asking.
Coupled with the fact that they had been worrying the entire night, they were all exhausted.
Everyone returned to their rooms.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan also returned to the room they were sleeping in.
The two of them laid on the bed. Qi Yihan wrapped his arms around Tang Li’s waist and caressed her gently. He did not speak but did not sleep either.
Tang Li raised her head to look at his cold and handsome face. She raised her hand to touch his chin and said, “If you have anything to say, say it. Otherwise, I don’t know what’s on your mind.”
This man had been silent since he came back. She didn’t believe that he had nothing to say to her.
Qi Yihan looked down at the woman in his arms and pressed her head against his heart. His voice was hoarse. “I can only hold you back when you are in danger.”
Hearing that, Tang Li was stunned. She did not expect Qi Yihan to be troubled by that.
Then, she couldn’t help but laugh.
The serious atmosphere was immediately ruined by her laugh.
Qi Yihan was a little displeased and tickled her.
“Ah…”
A numbing sensation ran through her body, and Tang Li moaned softly.
She did not dare to laugh anymore and tried her best to sound serious. “Everyone is good at something different. You’re already a king in your field. Why do you feel that you’re holding me back?”
“Besides, demons and ghosts are the minority in this world. People like me are also the minority. If you can even kill demons and devils, we’ll be unemployed.”
“As a business tycoon, you are better at making money than me. You can make a lot of money. Every time I tell people about it, I feel proud.”
These words instantly softened the expression on Qi Yihan’s face. He lowered his head and stared at her for a while before kissing her forehead, saying hoarsely, “Li, I love you.”
When Tang Li heard that, her mind went blank.
She looked up at him in a daze. “What did you just say?”
Qi Yihan’s lips curled up, and for some reason, he was amused by her surprised expression. He lowered his head and kissed her lips again, saying without hesitation, “I love you.”
Tang Li smiled and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. She looked into his eyes and said, “Yihan, I love you too.”
After saying that, she looked at the golden red line on her wrist and smiled.
…
The next day, Tang Li predicted where Yuan Yuan’s soul might be. Then, she split the men into three groups and went in that direction.
When they left, she gave each of them a few talismans, some for survival and some for voice transmission.
The moment the men left, Tang Li, Qi Yihan, and Mrs. Guo went south.
“There’s a very large village in the south. That village is built at the border between the two countries. I hope Yuan Yuan’s soul didn’t enter that village.”
No matter what, they did not want to encounter danger.
Not long after the four of them walked out of the village, they saw a red-robed man leaning against a tree trunk.
The man’s robe and long hair fluttered in the wind. He was simply bewitchingly handsome.
Looking at the man leaning there, Qi Yihan, as expected, exuded a cold aura.
Tang Li asked rudely, “Why are you here?”
Mo Chen did not seem to understand that the two of them did not welcome him. When he saw them walk over, he stood up straight and waved the black fan in his hand as he walked. “I’m responsible for finding the soul that went missing in my mansion.”
At this point, he put away his fan and raised his eyebrows, looking charming. “So I’m here to help you guys.”
“You’re courting death.” Qi Yihan was irritated when he saw this man who wanted to hit on his wife. Although he knew that guns were useless to him, he still subconsciously took out his gun and fired at him.
With a bang, the bullet flew out.
Mrs. Guo, who didn’t know the whole story, was stunned.
In her heart, Mr. Qi was someone who wouldn’t bat an eye even if a mountain collapsed in front of him. Why was he so agitated when he saw this pretty man?
When the bullet flew in front of Mo Chen, it stopped there.
Mo Chen blocked the bullet with his fan and then it fell to the ground.
He looked at Qi Yihan and said provocatively, “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll steal Miss Tang away from you?”
With that, he raised an eyebrow at Tang Li and smiled teasingly. “Or are you afraid that Miss Tang might run away with me?”
Tang Li looked at him with a straight face and called out, “Fuxi Guqin.”
The Fuxi Guqin appeared in front of her.
Mo Chen immediately froze and covered his chest with the fan, looking scared. “Miss Tang, why are you so angry? I was just joking.”
“But I’m not joking with you.” If the presence of this man would make her husband angry, Tang Li would definitely make him disappear. “If you really meant it, then go and find it yourself. Don’t follow us.”
Mo Chen glanced at Qi Yihan, who was standing beside Tang Li, and teased, “You disciplined her well.”
Tang Li said impolitely, “I can tell that you’ve been single all your life, so you have no clue what love is.”
Mo Chen was speechless.
Tang Li put away the Guqin and held Qi Yihan’s hand. She said Mrs. Guo, “Let’s go.”
Mrs. Guo came back to her senses and quickly followed Tang Li.
Mo Chen shook his head and slowly followed along, fanning himself.
Along the way, Qi Yihan didn’t look happy at all.
This demon was always reminding him that he was too weak. This made him very angry.
However, the greatest benefit of Mo Chen following them was that no matter whether it was demons or ghosts, they would quickly retreat when they saw him, not daring to approach within a ten kilometer radius of them.
Tang Li searched for Yuan Yuan’s soul along the way. After walking for more than two days, they arrived near the border.
The terrain here was even more complicated. There were many traps set up by the people of the nearby village.
Instead of continuing their way, they stopped outside the jurisdictional area of the village.
The moment they stopped, Tang Li sensed something unusual. She said to the two of them, “Let’s stop here.”
