In front of the city's eastern gate, Tiger Gate Street was extremely lively, full of stall sellers and peddlers.
"Freshly forged Silver Scale Armor is indestructible and can withstand the claws and fangs of seventh-ranked demonic beasts! It's a must-have for long-distance travel!"
"Sweet skin roasted chicken~~ Freshly baked roasted chicken, big chicks fed with spiritual rice!"
...
Feng Yu Die, who was wandering on the street and feeling very bored, heard the magic word 'roasted chicken', and her eyes instantly lit up. Without saying a word, she slipped by the stall selling roasted chicken, pulled out a few spirit stones, and threw them over.
"Boss, give me a chicken!"
Xiao Tian, who was sitting with her legs crossed on her shoulder, involuntarily sighed at the sight. "Yu Die, can't you be more productive? You're almost at the late stage of Foundation Building, and you're still thinking about eating roasted chicken! Can't you change your favorite thing?"
Feng Yu Die glanced around, and seeing that no one was close enough and the stall owner did not pay attention to her, she whispered, "Food is the most important thing for the people. It doesn't mean that you can't eat after fasting. And the roasted chicken is delicious."
Xiao Tian blinked and raised her eyebrows with a naughty smile. "Then, change your taste."
"Change with what?"
"Anping! If you don't believe me, go and take a bite of him. It's so sweet and juicy, much more flavorful than your roasted chicken."
Feng Yu Die looked at her strangely and chose to ignore her. She took the roasted chicken wrapped in oilcloth from the boss, pulled off the chicken leg, and wanted to slurp it.
"Ha-ha...hot, hot, hot..."
Xiao Tian shrugged helplessly and turned to look at the inn not far away.
Ye Anping was currently on the first floor of that inn.
Since ten days ago, he had been walking around Heavenly Gate City with Pei Lianxue every morning. At noon, he would take Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo to sit on the first floor of the inn, waiting for the 'demonic cultivator' he had mentioned before.
Moreover, there were quite a few Justice Division officers in disguise mixed in with the vendors on both sides of the entire street.
Those people were all following Liang Zhu's arrangement and surveilled this place.
It could be said that this street was now a dragnet. Even if a demonic cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage were to come, there was no way he or she could escape.
Ye Anping had previously told Feng Yu Die and the girls that two people should come, a man and a woman. The woman was in the early stage of Core Formation , and the man was in the middle stage of Foundation Building .
Although Ye Anping didn't say much, neither she nor Feng Yu Die or Xiao Yunluo questioned his decision, thinking that he must have his reasons for doing so.
However, now that the Demon Clan was approaching the city, the Justice Division was already understaffed, and since so many people had to be dispatched here, those Division officers were already a little tired.
"Why aren't they here yet? We've been waiting for more than ten days."
"If Anping said they would come, they would definitely come. When was he ever wrong about something?"
"It's just that I'm bored. These days, Sister Pei has been staying by Young Master Ye's side, and I haven't had much of a chance to chat with her." Feng Yu Die puffed out her cheeks as she complained. "Why doesn't Young Master Ye accompany Sister Xiao shopping more often?"
Xiao Tian glanced at her in annoyance but suddenly felt that this was indeed a problem.
Pei Lianxue was with Ye Anping all the time, so her Yu Die had no chance to be alone with Ye Anping.
At this rate, when would the two of them be able to open their hearts and become one?
"Well... this is indeed a problem."
"Huh? What problem?"
Xiao Tian nodded, acting all serious, and frowned. "When will you and Anping open up to each other and become a cultivator couple?"
"..."
Feng Yu Die was munching on her drumstick happily, but when she heard Xiao Tian's words, she suddenly felt that the chicken in her mouth lost its taste. She muttered in her heart: Ye Anping has clearly said that he will not be a couple with me, so why does Xiao Tian keep trying to set me up with him?
What a pity that Sister Pei couldn't see Xiao Tian.
If Sister Pei could see Xiao Tian and Ye Anping could not, then Xiao Tian would root for her and Sister Pei to be together...
"Ehehehe~~ Ehehehe..."
?
Hearing Feng Yu Die's silly giggles, Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment before kicking her in the head.
"Hey! Why are you kicking me again?"
"I don't know what you are thinking, but stop it now! Stinky Yu Die."
"Go, go, go! Go back to your Young Master Ye. All you do when you're with me is kick me. Why don't you kick Young Master Ye?"
"He's not stupid."
"And I am?"
"Aren't you?"
Feng Yu Die turned away angrily. "That's because you kicked me into being stupid! Hmph~"
Xiao Tian choked on these words, and her eyes kept twitching. But she couldn't retort, so she just sighed and lay back on Feng Yu Die's head, resting there and basking in the sun.
At this time, two black horses passed by her shoulder.
Feng Yu Die instinctively raised her head and glanced at the man on horseback. But the man had light behind him, and it was dark under his bamboo hat, so she couldn't see his face clearly.
However, she saw the woman's red eyes.
Their eyes met for a split second and then moved on.
The two black horses walked past, while Feng Yu Die stopped and looked back with a frown.
"..."
Seeing that she had stopped, Xiao Tian raised her head, following her line of sight to the two black horses. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Tian, did you feel anything from that person just now?"
"Eh?" Xiao Tian tilted her head, took a closer look at the woman with a bamboo hat on her head, and suddenly realized, "One man and one woman, the woman is in the early stage of Core Formation, and the man is in the middle stage of Foundation Building. These are the two people Anping mentioned."
Hearing this, Feng Yu Die was a little surprised. She didn't immediately notice that those two people were the demonic cultivators that Ye Anping mentioned, but...
"No... I mean, Xiao Tian, did you feel anything from her?"
"No..."
Xiao Tian paused for a moment, looked at the woman again, and reacted immediately, kicking Feng Yu Die in the head and pulling her hair as she asked, "Yu Die, don't tell me you have a crush on her, have you? She's a demonic cultivator!"
"Ah?" Feng Yu Die pulled back her neck. "Why would I fall for her? Although she seems to be quite good-looking..."
"Hey~~ Yu Die! Don't show mercy just because she's a girl. Anping said you have to use all your strength, preferably kill her in one blow. Do you understand?"
"I know! I am wholeheartedly devoted to Sister Pei, it's just that..." Feng Yu Die hesitated for a while and finally stomped her foot hard. "Oh, anyway, I have a strange feeling, I can't explain it! No matter, I will ask Master Ye later."
"Then, go lay the ambush, okay? Remember what Young Master Ye said. In a moment, he and Miss Xiao will make the first move, and after they force those two out of the inn, you and Miss Pei encircle them; after that, the formation will be transferred to the Justice Division people to maintain it while you and Miss Pei attack together, got it?"
"I know! We've practiced it many times, what's the problem?"
Feng Yu Die looked at the unfinished roasted chicken in her hand, threw it away reluctantly, and took her sword out of the storage bag. Then, she raised her hand, snapping her fingers.
Snap---
At the faint sound, the Division officers playing the roles of street vendors suddenly lost their smiles. They took out their spiritual weapons from the storage bags and quickly cleared the street of pedestrians before asking the city guards to close the east gate of the city.
