Chapter 743: Habaek’s “Bride”

After Shi Li and Qi Shan briefly understood the situation, without wasting any time, Ling Heng and Shi Li stayed behind while Xie Yuan and Lin Chen went out to rescue.

If they act faster, they might be able to save more innocent people, so there is no room for ambiguity.

Shi Li also wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Xie Yuan's words.

The heroic senior sister turned around and smiled at her reassuringly, "You have a special identity, so stay here to guard the house. If that warlock comes up with any evil ideas again, you are our trump card."

Although Shi Li felt that Xie Yuan was probably trying to fool her, she still listened to him and stopped obediently.

Since those sorcerers treat human life as worthless, there is a chance that they will launch a sneak attack on Qishan.

After all, the morale of the army in this city is really low. If we lose Qi Shan, the only backbone, we might be conquered by the Western Regions in one fell swoop.

Ling Heng, who was also left behind, was given a stern look by Xie Yuan.

"I'm not keeping you here to be a trump card. Watch what tricks the warlock uses and return them to me when the time comes."

Well, the reason why Ling Heng was kept here is because he is a weapon of mass destruction that can be deployed at any time.

After seeing off their senior sister and brother, Ling Heng and Shi Li looked at each other.

"Lili, go and rest for a while. I'll stay here."

Ling Heng actually felt sorry for Shi Li who had to sleep in the open air all the way. He didn't care what happened to him, but he just felt that Shi Li should not be wronged.

Shi Li: ...

"It's okay if I don't sleep all the time. Why don't you go get some sleep and I can keep watch over you."

Anyway, everyone pretended to be ignorant of her identity, so she simply stopped pretending.

At this critical moment, how can I fall asleep no matter how tired I am?

In the end, neither of them went to rest, but called a soldier who was familiar with the environment and took them to check the surrounding area carefully.

Not surprisingly, there were many discoveries.

For example, a big tree that hides an evil spirit, or a few soldiers with distracted eyes who can be seduced at first sight.

They are all small means, but when combined together, they are enough to disrupt the morale of the army.

Ling Heng and Shi Li discovered and dealt with problems along the way and were never idle at all.

At last, Shi Li was so angry that she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and couldn't help but pinch her waist and curse: "This person really should not live. How could his methods be so despicable and dirty!"

This was the first time that Shi Li got angry in front of Ling Heng, and in his eyes, she seemed inexplicably cute.

Ling Heng quietly hid the evil spirit in his sleeve and touched Shi Li's head with his other clean hand.

"Don't be angry, I will make him return it later."

"Return it! He must return it!"

Shi Li glared at the innocent tree that had previously harbored evil spirits in anger, wishing the tree could be replaced by a human so that she could slap it away.

After thoroughly checking and "cleaning" the surroundings, it was almost dark.

Dusk swept in, and most of the sky was shrouded in darkness.

There was a hint of sadness in the wind, like the silent wails of those innocent people who died.

Shi Li's bad mood became even worse. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

The two people walked back side by side tacitly. When they passed a narrow path, a pitch-black cat suddenly jumped out in front of them.

The black cat jumped down from the wall lightly and landed in front of Ling Heng. It called out to him strangely, then turned around and ran away, about to disappear from his sight.

It carried the same evil aura as the one discovered before.

Ling Heng turned to look at Shi Li, "I'll go after her?"

When asking, his fingers gently tapped Shi Li's palm.

Shi Li's eyes were clear, "You go after him, I'll wait for you right here."

Just one question and one answer, no need to say another word, it's a tacit understanding that both parties can understand.

Ling Heng immediately let go of her hand and ran in the direction where the black cat ran away.

Shi Li stayed there alone.

The surroundings were silent and the faint moonlight stretched her shadow long, leaving it on the mottled ground behind her.

After waiting for a while, Shi Li felt a disgusting breath coming from the opposite direction behind him.

This is the perception she has as a demigod. If it were an ordinary person, they would not feel anything.

She pretended to know nothing and continued to stand there, looking in the direction where Ling Heng left.
