I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Zhou Yixian was deeply troubled, muttering to herself, "Now that I have someone I love, I've forgotten about Grandpa..."

Touched by Zhou Yixian's words, Xiao Huan touched Xiao Luo's turtle shell, feeling a little embarrassed.

"grandfather!"

"Hmph, I don't think there's anything good about that kid Li Qing'an! He's always flirting with women, he's obviously not a decent person. Not to mention Lu Xueqi from Qingyun Sect, there was also that witch from the Hehuan Sect three years ago, who seemed to have a connection with him."

Zhou Yixian was somewhat indignant.

"Grandpa, how dare you say that? Three years ago, if it weren't for you, how could Sister Jin Ping'er have almost died in the East Sea? If it weren't for the fact that she had some life-saving methods from my older brother, and didn't need me to take action, I, your granddaughter, would have shortened my own lifespan!"

Xiao Huan was even more indignant and explained on behalf of Jin Ping'er.

Zhou Yixian realized that he had made a mistake by speaking too quickly, and he was speechless.

......

On the other side, Li Qing'an headed towards a border area between the Death Swamp and Southern Xinjiang.

One of the treasure troves depicted in the painting of the Three-Tailed Fox is located in that place, and it's even highlighted in red to indicate that it might contain some rather valuable treasures.

According to the notes of the Three-Tailed Fox, that place was originally a connection between the Death Swamp and the ancient riverbed of Southern Xinjiang.

It had been barren for a thousand years, but the three-tailed fox spirit discovered during its nine-year search that the place had actually been restored.

Such a strange thing must contain a great treasure.

Li Qingan took out a map, confirmed the direction, and then flew away on his sword into the distance.

Three days later in the blink of an eye.

Dawang Village.

Zhou Yixian weighed the silver in his hand, his face full of joy.

He had just made money from two people, even though neither of them were easy to mess with.

An unfamiliar young man, dressed in a light blue shirt, with delicate features, but for some reason his face was somewhat pale.

The other person was a man dressed in a black robe with a fierce demeanor, but he recognized him as Zhang Xiaofan, whom Xiao Huan had previously discerned as having the destiny of a demon, who was now known as Gui Li.

Moreover, Zhou Yixian discovered that Zhang Xiaofan had given her even more silver, seemingly around twenty taels.

Huge profits! Huge profits!

As expected of the kid connected to Li Qing'an, he knows how to handle things.

Xiao Luo stood on Xiao Huan's shoulder, ignoring the candied hawthorn placed in front of it.

Which spirit beast likes to eat candied hawthorn berries?

What's more, it's a turtle.

Xiao Huan didn't insist. She turned around and packed her things. Dawang Village was becoming increasingly dangerous. She needed to find a place with her grandfather to lay low for a while.

Just as she finished packing the string of candied hawthorns, she suddenly heard a clear laugh.

"Xiao Huan, it's been three years, and you still love candied hawthorns so much."

Xiao Huan was startled and looked up.

Chapter 187 Jin Ping'er and Xiao Huan!

Xiao Huan was startled and looked up.

There she was, a young woman dressed in pale yellow, with an oval face, exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and a captivating charm. At first glance, she was incomparably beautiful, and at second glance, she exuded a captivating allure, stunning everyone.

Xiao Huan was pleasantly surprised. She skipped over and took the woman's hand, laughing, "Sister Ping'er, it's you!"

The woman was none other than Jin Ping'er, the enchanting young master of the Demonic Sect.

"I understand, sister. You also want to go to the Death Swamp?"

Xiao Huan thought of the righteous and demonic people who had gathered together.

Jin Ping'er did not answer, but looked at the little turtle on Xiao Huan's shoulder with a deep meaning in her eyes.

"He came too? And he even gave you this turtle for self-defense!"

Jin Ping'er pouted, slightly jealous.

Xiao Huan's eyes darted away slightly, then she nodded.

The two of them were able to get along well, partly because she originally intended to lend a helping hand in Donghai, and partly because of Li Qing'an.

Jin Ping'er blinked, revealing a captivating and charming smile, "I didn't expect that our Xiao Huan would be so well-liked by Chief Li."

After she finished speaking, she looked westward again and said, "Little rascal, do you want to go in and see what's going on?"

Xiao Huan asked hesitantly and uncertainly.

"Big brother said it's very dangerous inside, and told me to wait for him in Dawang Village so we can go to Qingyun Sect together."

"What are you afraid of? With me here, no one can bully you. And don't underestimate that turtle on your shoulder. When it gets angry, it might be even fiercer than me."

Jin Ping'er chuckled softly.

"After I take you in to broaden your horizons, I'll send you out again."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huan looked at the turtle on her shoulder with some surprise.

Xiao Luo is actually that amazing?

Xiao Huan pondered carefully, glanced at Jin Ping'er, and was indeed curious, wanting to see up close what the battle between the righteous and the demonic was like.

She laughed and said, "That's good too. It's been a long time since we last met. It'll be nice to talk to my sister."

Seeing that Xiao Huan agreed, Jin Ping'er put her arm around her shoulder and, without asking Zhou Yixian's opinion, the two slowly headed towards the western swamp.

Behind them, only Zhou Yixian was left to clean up.

He could only shake his head and sigh, packing his things while lamenting the decline of morality and the irretrievable loss of the noble tradition of respecting the elderly...

But he didn't dare say anything more, because he had almost caused Jin Ping'er's death, and she was still angry.

If it weren't for Xiao Huan's sake, I don't know how Jin Ping'er would have dealt with me right now.

.....

The entrance to the Death Swamp.

Looking further in, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of lush vegetation, with only the occasional solitary tree standing tall. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and a wisp of gray mist hung in the air above the swamp.

The Qingyun Sect members, led by Xiao Yicai, were here.

Zeng Shushu frowned and asked Lu Xueqi in a low voice, "Senior Sister Lu, do you know where Uncle Li Qing'an went? Has he come to this Death Swamp?"

This statement came out.

The eleven Qingyun disciples present, excluding Lu Xueqi and Xiao Yicai, all looked at Lu Xueqi, clearly also wanting to know.

Lu Xueqi looked at her brother's cronies with her almond-shaped eyes, and after a few moments of silence, she finally spoke.

"He didn't say much to me, but he's most likely still here, I just don't know where he is!"

However, how can we, as practitioners of spiritual cultivation, rely solely on others?

Lu Xueqi didn't even need to look at these people; she only knew that they were counting on Li Qing'an to lead them on a killing spree.

Lu Xueqi's words made those around her feel somewhat ashamed.

Even though Lin Jingyu was a few years older than Lu Xueqi, he was surprised that he was less clear-headed than a woman.

No wonder Chief Li seems to be getting engaged to this woman.

A perfect match!

Everyone replied in unison, "Thank you for reminding us, Junior Sister Lu!"

Lu Xueqi returned the greeting politely.

Seeing that everyone had adjusted their mindset, Xiao Yicai spoke up, "The sect leader said that we need to rely on ourselves for this trip to the Death Swamp."

Don't rely on Uncle-Master Li! Junior brothers and sisters, it's good that you've realized this.

"I will heed your teachings!"

Xiao Yicai nodded, looking into the depths of the Dead Swamp, and said calmly, "Yesterday, Li Xun of Burning Incense Valley sent me a letter, seemingly wanting to join forces with our Qingyun Sect to slay demons and eliminate evil. Now that they have already taken the lead and entered the swamp, we cannot fall too far behind."

"Yes!"

Everyone said in unison.

They knew perfectly well that Burning Incense Valley's intention was undoubtedly to obtain that extraordinary treasure, thereby gaining great fame and hoping to exchange places with Azure Cloud Sect as the number one righteous sect.

When Lu Xueqi heard Li Xun's name, she frowned slightly, still remembering his disgusting gaze.

Zeng Shushu did not go down the mountain with Li Qing'an and was unaware of what had happened; otherwise, he might already be cursing and swearing as he went to find the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.

However, he also knew that Fenxiang Valley and Li Qing'an had a grudge.

Thinking of this,

He eagerly replied, "Since that's the case, it's getting late, let's go inside!"

Xiao Yicai nodded, summoned the 'Seven Star Immortal Sword', and flew up, leading the way inwards.

The other Qingyun disciples also quickly followed.

......

The swampy area is teeming with mosquitoes, ants, and other wild animals.

Xiao Huan looked at the mosquitoes that were scurrying away from her, while Zhou Yixian slapped his hands loudly behind her, his palms turning red.

They were clearly quite distressed by the mosquitoes.

"Sister, my grandfather knows he was wrong, please forgive him!"

Xiao Huan was raised by Zhou Yixian, and seeing Zhou Yixian's appearance, she also spoke up to offer advice.

"Fine, I'll let this swindler go for your sake!"

"I don't know why, but an old liar like you actually has a lovely granddaughter like Xiao Huan."

Jin Ping'er gave a light hum and took out a jade bottle from her sleeve: "This medicine can be applied to the body to repel mosquitoes."
