Chapter 50: Wolf Demon

  The answer that Fang Zhen had been expecting was completely beyond my and Ge Fei's expectations. The initial plot twist had already shocked us, but what happened next was even more shocking.

  Perhaps having experienced too many strange things, Ge Fei was extremely vigilant, his hand unconsciously shielding me as he gazed at Fang Zhiwan with piercing eyes: "What do you mean? You and he aren't in cahoots?"

  Only now did she realize the endless sorrow in her eyes: "Thirty years ago, it was him... who killed my fiancé and led me to where I am today. And my sister also died because of him, after death even her soul was trapped by others. Do you think I would be on his side?"

  She smiled wryly and shook her head: "You don't believe me, it's normal, after all I've hurt people before, if I were you, I wouldn't believe either."

  To be honest, I think Fang Zhi Pan is quite pitiful, but I don't know whether to believe her or not. I was going to say that we knew where her sister was, but thinking about it again, I felt that I couldn't say that so quickly, at least not before getting more information out of her. Anyway, since she's already appeared, might as well ask her questions.

  "You don't believe me, you should at least believe him?" Fang Zhitian's bitter smile didn't fade away, his hands clasped together and slightly rotated, following the light purple glow, a young boy appeared before our eyes.

  I took a closer look, and isn't this... Little Fangzi? Perhaps it's because of our previous encounter that I didn't feel any fear towards this ghost child, but instead only felt that he was just an ordinary kid. Since his disappearance, I've been worried about him too. Seeing him now, I got a bit excited and hastily asked: "Little Fangzi, are you okay? Did she harm you? Is your soul intact?"

  After I finished speaking, I felt that I had said a lot of nonsense. If his soul was not complete, how could he still be here? He might have drifted away without a trace long ago.

  Ge Fei looked up and down at Xiao Fangzi for a moment, filled with suspicion, and asked him "She... really didn't do anything to you?"

  As he spoke, Ge Fei raised his eyes and swept a glance at Fang Zhi Pan, with suspicion in the bottom of his eyes.

  Xiao Fangzi slowly got up from the ground, floating gently to Fang Zhiwan's side, her tender voice very serious: "Zhiwan, it wasn't you who hurt me... that day... the one who wanted to harm me was He Mengyan, it was you who saved me."

  Looking at Xiao Fangzi's extremely friendly attitude, I couldn't help but suspect that he was being controlled by some kind of evil spell. And didn't he say before that Fang Zhongyuan wanted to kill him back then? Thinking this, I immediately asked: "But didn't you say before, that year..."

  "That year, Zhi Pan was trying to save me. If she hadn't done that, and created the illusion of sucking my soul away, I might have really lost my life." Before I could finish speaking, Xiao Fangzi interrupted, his words filled with guilt as he looked up at Fang Zhi Pan.

  I'm now somewhat confused, for a moment I really can't tell what's right and wrong, so I have to look at Ge Fei for the answer.

  Ge Fei's expression was once again that of a Taoist, staring at Fang Zhi for a long time before opening his mouth in a cold and eerie tone: "Your body... doesn't have any evil energy, on the contrary, there is some righteous energy. Your sister's body has extremely heavy evil energy, but you don't have even a bit."

  Ge Fei, what does this mean? Is it saying that Fang Zhiyan can be trusted? If Ge Fei is right, then Fang Zhiyan isn't some kind of evil spirit or someone who practices dark magic.

  If she really has been practicing some kind of evil magic, then there must be an evil aura on her body. But not only is there no such thing, but instead, there's a righteous aura. This shows that the method she used to deal with us isn't any kind of evil magic, and she isn't some kind of filthy thing that brings calamity to humans either.

  This is even more confusing, why did she want to kill me that day? From what He Lanxue said, it seems like she and the Chen Xiang who looks very similar to me are familiar with each other. Does she have some deep hatred towards that woman?

  Thinking of this, I involuntarily took a step back. Once a person's mind is clouded by hatred, they can do anything. What if she becomes like that again and tries to strangle me to death?

  "You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you, that day was just a show for He Yichu. Her face had a faint smile, slightly bitter, she said here, and then paused for a moment, saying: "No... it was for He Yichu and He Lanxue to see, really didn't expect, Xue'er actually..."

  She didn't continue speaking, and a faintly discernible painful expression floated onto her lovely face.

  "Has Xue Lang lost?" Ge Fei's words brought my thoughts back to reality. Now doesn't seem like the time to discuss Fang Zhi, but rather to find Xue Lang first. Judging from the situation earlier in the ice hockey rink, something probably happened to Xue Lang.

  No matter what, I think we should first confirm that Xue Lang is safe before continuing the investigation. If we sacrifice Xue Lang's life for our own sake, my heart will be filled with regret.

  She stared blankly at us, and judging from her expression, she probably had no idea who Xue Lang was. I made a few gestures towards her and vividly described Xue Lang: "Xue Lang is that man who came with us, he looks demonic and has an evil appearance."

  "You're talking about... Snow Wolf!" Fang Zhi suddenly stuttered: "I came back before you, just saw a wolf covered in blood running out from inside... but... how did Hei Ye get hurt so badly too."

  "What! Covered in blood!" Ge Fei's sudden loud roar scared me to the point where I almost fell over. What a shock, what a fuss, a wolf got hurt and it has nothing to do with him!

  Wait! Xue Lang, Xue Lang! Damn it! I knew it, Xue Lang is... a wolf demon. No wonder I felt he had an eerie aura when I first met him. But... even if he's a demon, that doesn't mean he's a malevolent one. And he got hurt helping us, now his life is hanging in the balance.

  "How is he? He..." As soon as Ge Fei heard the bad news, he immediately lost control. I think even if something happened to me, he wouldn't lose control like this.

  I gently pulled his arm, trying to suppress my own tension, and calmly comforted him: "You listen to Miss Fang first, maybe he'll be fine once he's out."

  After finishing speaking, I shifted my gaze to Fang Zhi Pan's body, paused for a moment before opening my mouth to ask: "How... is he?"

  Although I wanted to remain calm, when the words came out of my mouth, I found that my voice was trembling and even couldn't be spoken. If Xue Lang died, I would feel guilty for a lifetime.

  Before Fang Zhi spoke, my heart was racing extremely fast, as if it would jump out at any moment. Until she calmly said: "He...was taken away by Ye Dage, Ye Dage's magic is powerful, he should be saved."

  Okay, after hearing her answer, my heart beats faster and I stuttered to ask her: "The Ye brother you mentioned... is it... Ye Jingchen?"

  Fang Zhi nodded slightly: "Uh-huh, yes." Then asked me again: "Have you seen Big Brother Ye?"

  Does she know Ye Jingchen? I was just about to ask, when Ge Fei asked Fang Zhiwan with a furious expression: "Do you know that stinky fox?"

  Every time Ge Fei mentions Ye Jingchen, he becomes a different person, looking like he wants to kill Ye Jingchen.

  It was as if Fang Zhi had been startled by Ge Fei's appearance, and he stared blankly for a moment, his face filled with confusion: "Brother Ye is a fox immortal, the senior brother of Xiangxiang sister. Back then... it was them who saved me, helped me awaken the spiritual power within my body. But after Xiangxiang sister disappeared over twenty years ago, Brother Ye also disappeared, and I haven't seen him until today."

  After she finished speaking, she stared at my face again, her eyes filled with a hint of surprise: "No wonder He Lan Xue thought you were Chen Xiang. Sister, you look exactly like Chen Xiang sister, even your magic is the same..."

  "Magic! What magic?" I don't know any good magic at all?

  "Are you referring to the Mystic Ice Technique?" Before Fang Zhi could respond, Ge Fei interjected.

  Just then, a faint smile floated up at the corner of her mouth: "Yes... that's something only Xiangxiang jiejie would know how to do. She was also the one who taught me back then."

  Chen Xiang... Ye Jingchen's junior sister, she must be some kind of demon too. How could I possibly be her? This is ridiculous. Wait a minute... Could it be that Ye Jingchen has been paying attention to me all along because I look like her?

  And yet, the people who are secretly plotting against me, is it also because of this face? Anyway, I think I don't have any charm that would make someone go to great lengths to plot against me, unless... they mistook me for that Shen Xiang. But... where did the real Shen Xiang go?

  But... who is actually controlling Fang Zhi Ling? He Yelan? Or... Ye Jingchen?

  I'm now dizzy, Ge Fei standing beside me had an unusually ugly expression, and after a long pause, slowly opened his mouth: "Miss Fang, I know where your sister is, we can take you there, but...you also have to tell us...what's going on with all this, and that Xiangxiang...what's the story?"

  In the conversation, Ge Fei intentionally or unintentionally glanced at me with a strange gaze. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was so strange about it, but in short, it wasn't a benevolent look, nor did it resemble his usual expression. It was like...the time he wanted to kill me last time. Only this time, it flashed by in an instant. Fortunately, Fang Xiang and Xiao Fangzi didn't notice the change in his gaze.

  As soon as she heard that we knew her sister's whereabouts, she agreed without hesitation. Even the talisman given to her by Ge Fei, she swallowed it down without any hesitation.

  According to Ge Fei, the talisman was called the "Soul-Destroying Talisman", and only he could dispel it. If the person who ingested the talisman couldn't dispel it within ten days, their body and soul would be destroyed. Ge Fei was a cautious man, so he had to guard against it. What if Fang Zhen also wasn't a good person, and turned against us later?

  Ge Fei said that the grievances in Cuimeng Garden were particularly heavy at night, so even if we were anxious, we had to go during the day. So we chose to rush to Cuimeng Garden early the next morning.

  I was puzzled, Ge Fei's talisman was so powerful, why did we still have to fight those zombies to the death? One talisman could solve it directly. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but ask Ge Fei who was driving: "Hey, your talisman is so powerful, why didn't you use it against He Yichu and Lan Xue? Do you like to torture yourself?"

  "If that talisman was really effective against them, would I have gone to such great lengths? That talisman is useless if you don't swallow it." Ge Fei gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if he didn't want to mention this matter.

  "Huh? Why didn't we use that ring to get to Cuimeng Garden? Wouldn't that be faster?" I thought I asked another very stupid question.

  Ge Fei gave me a deep, withering stare and gritted his teeth as he replied: "You think my spiritual energy is unstable now? Or do you think I enjoy driving?! Are you an idiot?! Honestly, how can you still be so stupid?!"

  Bang! Ge Fei's words were not yet finished, when I slapped him on the head with a loud crack. His hairstyle instantly became a bird's nest. I fiercely roared at him: "Old man! Old man! Your old grandpa! What's wrong with me asking two more questions? I want to know, why did you curse at me? You even used foul language... Give back my idiot... This is really..."

  As soon as I heard Ge Fei's tone of disdain and contempt, I couldn't help but burst out with profanity. Damn it, fortunately I didn't ask him what Ye Jingchen took Xue Lang away for, otherwise he would definitely be even more contemptuous. Hmm, I think Ye Jingchen must have been trying to save Xue Lang, from the previous few encounters, you can tell that their relationship is not ordinary, could it be a love-hate relationship?

  Ge Fei and I have always been quarreling, suddenly a slap on the steering wheel, just about to burst out with even more vicious curses, but before they came out, I heard the little Fangzi in the backseat let out a series of sighs: "Alas! Nowadays young people are really getting more and more lacking in quality."

  Damn! He hadn't even finished speaking, and I saw a woman lying on the front windshield, then slowly falling off. As she fell, her eyeballs were still stuck to the window, with unclear liquid and blood threads flowing out, her entire face was blurry with blood and flesh. Fuck! Can't be this unlucky, seeing someone jump from a building so early in the morning. My heart is literally in my throat.
