Meiluo, upon falling to the ground, turned into a puddle of dark blood, instantly washed away by the torrential rain.
"Meiluo, you can't die!"
HuiMie cried out hoarsely.
But!
Meiluo had completely vanished before its eyes.
Only then did Cheng Xiaofan realize,
that the two guardians of Xuansui,
one was named Meiluo,
and the other was named HuiMie.
What a damn fitting name!
As if they were born,
to bring about the decline and destruction of Earth.
"HuiMie, you should die too!"
Cheng Xiaofan looked at HuiMie with a sneer in his eyes and said.
HuiMie's eyes spewed with rage.
It roared, "You're the one who should die, Cheng Xiaofan!"
"I will kill you!"
As HuiMie lunged forward,
Cheng Xiaofan directly met the attack,
and plunged the demonic bone blade in his hand into HuiMie's heart.
HuiMie's body twisted several times and it fell to the ground.
Boom!
As a giant thunderclap struck.
HuiMie's body also turned into a pool of dark blood,
and under the downpour,
it vanished without a trace.
In the blink of an eye.
The wind stopped, the rain ceased,
the clouds parted, and the moon emerged.
On the plaza of the State Guest House,
only Cheng Xiaofan remained, standing with his hands behind his back.
Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.
The sky was filled with stars, twinkling with brilliant light.
"Sovereign, are you alright?"
Meng Xizi called out through the window.
Whoosh!
Cheng Xiaofan leaped,
and entered the teahouse.
Facing Meng Xizi, he smiled faintly,
and said, "Old Meng, do I look like someone who's not alright?"
Everyone then noticed that despite the heavy rain just now,
not a single drop of water could be seen on Cheng Xiaofan.
His white casual outfit was as neat as when he arrived.
Meng Xizi exclaimed excitedly, "Luo Lin, Fanny,"
"Hurry and make tea for the Sovereign!"
"And, serve all the pastries!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"
Luo Lin and Fanny came to their senses and responded.
The tea was brewed, and the pastries were served.
"Sovereign, please sit!"
Meng Xizi said respectfully.
Cheng Xiaofan did not stand on ceremony and sat in the center.
"Old Meng, don't just stand there, sit down too!"
"Yes!"
Meng Xizi immediately sat down opposite Cheng Xiaofan.
He rubbed his knees somewhat awkwardly,
and asked, "Sovereign, were those two evil spirits destroyed?"
Cheng Xiaofan picked up a pastry and put it in his mouth, then nodded.
"Yes, I destroyed them!"
"Did you just watch a horror movie and get your heart pounding?"
Hiss...
Meng Xizi bared his teeth.
It was more than just his heart pounding;
his soul had almost flown out of his body.
"Yes, it felt very terrifying..."
In front of Cheng Xiaofan,
he didn't quite know how to express his state of mind at the time.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly.
He said, "Old Meng, I know you have a stomach full of questions,"
"Ask whatever you want to ask!"
Receiving these words from Cheng Xiaofan,
Meng Xizi immediately asked, "Sovereign,"
"Those who died from the virus,"
"how did they appear in that black smoke?"
Cheng Xiaofan took a sip of tea,
moistened his throat,
and said, "Let me explain from the beginning!"
"Do you know why, as soon as the two evil spirits appeared,"
"such dense black smoke billowed out?"
"That was the virus they carried."
"Although these viruses are not very lethal,"
"once they spread, they can make everyone in the entire capital,"
"faint and sleep for three days and three nights!"
Hiss...
Everyone present gasped.
Making the entire capital fall asleep for three days and three nights,
and that's not lethal enough?
It was terrifying just to think about!
Cheng Xiaofan said, "The reason I summoned wind, rain, thunder, and lightning from the heavens,"
"was to prevent the spread of the viral smoke."
"As I fought with them,"
"the screams that came from the smoke,"
"were evolved from the viruses on their bodies."
Having said this, Cheng Xiaofan gently patted Meng Xizi's shoulder.
"Do you know what the most terrifying aspect of these evil spirits is?"
"It's their ability to absorb the souls of those who died from the virus,"
"into themselves, accelerating the virus's upgrade."
"If it weren't for tonight's encounter between us,"
"I wouldn't have noticed this detail."
Meng Xizi wiped the cold sweat from his face and nodded,
saying, "Sovereign, you've worked hard!"
Cheng Xiaofan continued, "Those two evil spirits,"
"after being severely wounded by me,"
"their internal energy leaked out in large quantities,"
"which led to those screams,"
"and the appearance of those terrifying scenes..."
In fact,
when Cheng Xiaofan first engaged,
he could have used his dragon power,
combined with the destructive power of the demonic bone blade,
to destroy the two evil spirits in one fell swoop.
But he didn't.
He wanted to slowly wear down the two evil spirits,
expose their auras,
and thus obtain detailed information about them.
However, the result was not achieved.
As for these matters,
Cheng Xiaofan wouldn't say them.
...
"Thank you, Sovereign!"
After hearing the details of how the two evil spirits were destroyed,
Meng Xizi thanked Cheng Xiaofan again.
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand,
and said, "There are still three hours until dawn,"
"everyone go back and rest!"
"I also need to rest!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Cheng Xiaofan leaped and flew out of the window,
his figure disappearing from everyone's sight.
It took Meng Xizi a while to come back to his senses,
and he asked the person beside him, "What did the Sovereign just say?"
Luo Lin quickly replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty the King, the Sovereign said he needs to rest!"
Meng Xizi then nodded repeatedly.
He said, "The Sovereign has worked hard!"
"Yes, the Sovereign has indeed worked hard!"
"This time, the Sovereign has expended so much energy for our small country!"
"The problem is that we special police can't help at all."
"The Sovereign is truly benevolent!"
As soon as Meng Xizi finished speaking,
the special police officers all chimed in.
Meng Xizi nodded,
and said, "Everyone remember this,"
"the Sovereign's grace towards our small country,"
"let no one forget it!"
...
Cheng Xiaofan returned to the State Guest House,
and entered his bedroom,
only to find Xiang Wanli inside.
She was lying on the bed but not resting.
"Beauty Xiang, you're here?"
Xiang Wanli, upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan, joyfully leaped up from the bed,
and said, "Ah, Mr. Cheng, you're back!"
"The rain was so heavy tonight,"
"the thunder sounded like it was going to shake the earth,"
"I felt safer sleeping here with you!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was completely speechless.
What could he say to her?
How could he not see,
that this beauty had truly fallen for him.
Cheng Xiaofan rubbed his face with both hands,
thinking to himself, it's not a good thing for a man to be too charming in front of a beautiful woman!
"Beauty Xiang, I'm going to take a shower!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately left the bedroom and went to the bathroom.
...
In the bathroom.
Cheng Xiaofan soaked in the bathtub, closing his eyes.
He thought, that evil spirit named Xuansui,
should be able to sense by now,
that I have destroyed its two guardians?
