Chu Cha thinks things are hard to handle.

  This black lotus is different from other villains, he can guess whether he has malicious intentions or not without the system detecting it, and he always wears a gentle and shy smile, speaking softly and saying sweet words.

  Then wait until you let your guard down and stab you in the back.

  In summary:

  It's just pretending!

  The host's character is an iceberg beauty who doesn't like to talk, so Chu Cha is currently in a passive state.

  ......

  The night is deepening, with countless stars filling the sky.

  The autumn wind comes with a hint of desolation, sweeping up dry leaves.

  Everywhere lanterns are hung and colorful decorations are put up, firecrackers crackle and pop in a continuous string of sounds.

  Waves of cheers and applause rose from the crowd, accompanied by the sound of drums and music, as a lion's body made of golden silk threads danced out of the crowd, amidst a sea of colorful lanterns, crowded and noisy, all blended into one.

  Gu Yan paid the money and picked the largest and most fruitful one from the sugar gourd rack.

  He took a bite, and his eyes narrowed in delight, with a smile full of interest at the corners, "Sir, by the way, do you know how to get to Baoguo Temple?"

  The old man's movements slightly paused, and he looked up at Gu Yun, "What are you doing going to Baoguo Temple?"

  Gu Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled again, "I have a good friend living in that area, I don't know what the place is called, but I know there's a Baoguo Temple."

  The old man let out a gentle sigh, "This Baoguo Temple I've also heard not much about, but it's quite far from our Cloud City, in the deep mountains outside the capital."

  "You have a good friend living near Baoguo Temple, which should be referring to Du City. You can hurry north by water and land as quickly as possible."

  Gu Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled at the old man as he held up the sugar gourd, "Thanks, I'll take my leave."

  Lanterns are arranged in high and low positions.

  He enjoyed the strange street performances, shadow puppetry and dragon lion dances all the way, and even threw out a few copper coins to applaud when he was satisfied.

  Only after having enough fun did she slowly walk towards the place where she parted with Chu Cha.

  The streets are filled with restaurants and bars, with people flowing through in a noisy throng.

  The girl in white stood motionless amidst the flickering lights and swirling dust.

  She still stood in the position where he left, without moving a step, and the surrounding laughter and noise seemed to have nothing to do with her.

  Right hand holding a duster behind her back, long skirt fluttering, eyebrows and eyes serene.

  The wind blows gently by.

  She blew her beautiful hair in front of her, which made her skin shine like snow, and she floated out of the dust.

  Suddenly——

  She seemed to have a feeling, slowly lifting those raven-like eyelashes, revealing the clear and pure eyes inside.

  Gu Yan didn't know why his heart skipped a beat, like a sudden gust of wind blowing ripples on a pool of spring water...

  He hastily suppressed his emotions, restrained his flustered heart, and put on the usual gentle and introverted appearance.

  "Master, I asked a merchant and he said that Baoguo Temple is outside the capital of this country, thousands of miles away from here. We can take the water route to get there."

  Wielding a sword while traveling would consume a large amount of spiritual energy. In this lower realm, it's not like the Spiritual Realm above, where dangers lurk everywhere. If they overexert their spiritual power, it would be extremely disadvantageous for these cultivators.

  For a demon, absorbing the vital energy of this kind of person is more useful than absorbing that of one hundred ordinary people.

  "Then let's set off now."

  He heard the sound and was slightly stunned, lifting his line of sight from the sugar gourd in his hand. "Master, the boats will not depart until tomorrow morning."

  "Some trouble."

  She slightly frowned, her expression as usual, but a few flashes of displeasure flickered in her transparent eyes.

  Gu Yan's lips curled up, and a faint smile flowed from the tip of his brow. "Master, such prosperity is rarely seen in the spiritual realm. Why not take a walk?"

  The cold and elegant girl nodded slightly in agreement upon hearing this.

  **

  Lamps and candles light up ten thousand homes in the city, while a river of stars flows through the middle of the water.

  The shadow play pavilion is filled with music and dance; a thousand doors and windows are open, and the sound of sheng pipes is everywhere.

  It happened that at this moment, snowflakes were dancing down, without distinction of east, south, west or north, fluttering and swirling, stretching endlessly.

  Due to this sudden snow, the prosperity of this lantern market has been pushed to a higher level. The hawkers' shouts have become more energetic, peddling hot food.

  The flower lantern sellers were even more enthusiastic, loudly reciting a few beautiful sentences about the lanterns and snow, attracting pair after pair of talented young men and women to their stalls.

  "Want to take a look at our local mud man? My craftsmanship is absolutely number one in this Cloud City!" A voice came from the side.

  "I don't need anything."

  Chu Cha said, her gaze swept away...

  It's a stall selling snacks.

  Only on the stall were placed many mud figurines, some of whom were children holding fish, some were talented men and beautiful women, or animals with different postures...

  "Is it for me?"

  "Of course!" The middle-aged man responded with a smile, and before long, he had transformed the mud in his hand into a mud figurine wearing a white skirt and holding a duster.

  She took it over and looked at this vivid mud figure, with a rare smile on her face.

  As if he had thought of something, he turned his head and looked at Gu Yan.

  Before Master's Nirvana, she would always present various rare treasures in front of her at the first time...

  Gu Yan could see through her clear eyes and guess eight or nine out of ten of her inner thoughts.

  The girl hesitated for a while before stiffly presenting the mud figure in front of him, "Ah Yan, here you go."

  Gu Yan put on an astonished expression, "Master?"

  She slightly lowered her eyes and said, "You are my disciple, of course I will give you the good things."

  Although she said so, after Gu Yan took over the muddy man, the low mood on her face was not covered up.

  He couldn't help but smile and handed the mud figure back, "Master, this mud figure was molded after your likeness, it's not quite suitable for me to hold."

  The girl responded faintly after hearing this.

  She looks ordinary, but her eyes, like a deer's, are filled with the joy of having something back that was once lost.

  She took over the mud man from Gu Yan's hand and walked away with a gentle lotus step.

  Middle-aged man slightly stunned: "Eh! You haven't given..."

  He looked at the silver thrown by the white-clothed youth and smiled with his eyes bent, "Thanks for your patronage!"

  Although it is said to be pure in mind and few desires, the six senses are clear and clean.

  But always been an inexperienced person, never seen the prosperous place, also never been to the dirty mud, always high above the clouds, never seen the worldly big waves, and do not understand how to hide their emotions and thoughts.

  Just like a blank sheet of paper.

  He suddenly wanted to know.

  If this white paper falls into the muddy water, will it be stained by the dirty black water?
