Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 139

Feng Jin paused in her motion of cleaning the bow, while Jiang Ying turned her face away, holding a half-closed fist to her lips and coughing twice before clearing her throat.

Only Lei Shuang was confused and was about to remind Yan Zhao when she received a sharp elbow in the side from Jiang Ying, causing her to double over and miss the best moment.

Yan Zhao leaned closer to Ren Qingyue's ear to finish her sentence, then pulled back slightly and winked at her.

Ren Qingyue felt a tickling sensation in her heart, as if Yan Zhao's long, dark eyelashes had brushed against it like a little brush.

She pursed her lips, maintaining her composure as she said, "I see, I misunderstood."

Yan Zhao let out a sigh of relief, her eyes curving in a smile.

Behind them, Nangong Yin, who had been meditating, silently smiled at the corners of her lips.

Lei Shuang finally recovered, glaring fiercely at Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying ignored her accusation and continued to focus on her healing.

Feng Jin spoke up to change the subject, "Have you all noticed that the corpses pretending to be disciples of the Fuyun Sect bear some resemblance to the foreign spirits?"

She had been one of the first witnesses of the corpse puppet in Zhuang'an Village, and compared to what they had seen today, that corpse puppet looked more like a foreign spirit.

These corpses disguised as humans retained a certain level of intelligence and could mimic the actions of the living; such creatures were indeed unlike anything they had seen before.

Once this was said, a moment of silence fell over the cave, and the atmosphere became a bit tense.

Feng Jin looked around, seeing everyone's poor expressions, wondering if she had said something wrong.

Unexpectedly, it was Yan Zhao who broke the silence first.

"I noticed too!" Yan Zhao raised her hand to respond.

Seeing her enthusiasm, Lei Shuang teased, "What did you notice?"

Yan Zhao counted on her fingers, "They all crawled out of the ground! They have long nails and love to grab people! And those corpse puppets can only be killed by smashing their heads!"

Each point she made was logical and well-supported.

Lei Shuang was shocked and couldn't refute, "How did you know the last part?"

Before Yan Zhao could respond, Ren Qingyue answered for her, "Some time ago, A Zhao's friend went missing mysteriously. When we went to rescue, we had a confrontation with the corpse puppet team led by Ling Jiancheng."

Yan Zhao poked her sleeve, reminding her, "It was Senior Sister and Yan Zhao who went to save them, not us."

Jiang Ying, Lei Shuang, and Feng Jin: "..."

"Hmm." Ren Qingyue nodded calmly, "It was me and A Zhao; Xuan Yuan Mu can testify to this."

Lei Shuang, realizing what she had missed, exclaimed, "So you encountered the corpse puppets that day? Chen Er was captured?"

That day, she had gone to investigate the corpse puppets of the Fuyun Sect and had unexpectedly been discovered by a powerful patrol in their base, hastily fleeing back to report her findings to the Demon Lord, completely unaware of this incident.

At this moment, Nangong Yin opened her eyes and said seriously, "These corpse puppets do resemble the foreign spirits. When Zhao'er subdued that ancient dragon, it could intimidate the foreign spirits, and it can also intimidate the corpse puppets, indicating they likely share the same origin."
