Chapter 109.1 : The Mysterious Old Man

The sudden turn of events caused the faces of the people who have safely gone across to change.

The colour on Qing Yu’s face turned ugly as well as it had been because of her single moment of carelessness that gave the ghost that opening, almost bitten by him.

She reached her hand out and grabbed Lou Jun Yao behind her to quickly walk across before she stopped. She then looked down and studied his arm, to see that the skin was still smooth, the joints on his fingers distinct, flawless and beautiful.

“Did you touch that little ghost at all?” Qing Yu asked, her face looking worried.

“No.” Lou Jun Yao replied.

“You really didn’t?” Qing Yu continue to ask in disbelief. “Did you get bitten? He was going all out to bite me just now.”

Upon saying that, she did not wait for a response from the man but just stretched her hands out to feel his arm all over probingly, feeling relieved only when she was sure there were no wounds.

Whew, it was rather fortunate. If he had gotten bitten and did not notice it, the consequences would have been dire.

He had done that to save her, so he must not get wounded.

She had become so accustomed to being candid and straightforward, her personality never one to be bothered by trifling details like a man, and would not act bashful and shy like the dainty young ladies out there. But she was still a female no matter what, so her actions at that moment did not only caused the three other people watching to stare with eyes wide and their jaws slack, even Lou Jun Yao was taken aback by her sudden action.

This little fox has really gotten too used to dressing up as a boy that she is acting exactly like one now. With those tiny hands of hers suddenly feeling his arm all over like that, it was almost killing him.

Back when he was in Cloud Heaven, Lou Jun Yao’s pet peeve was well known throughout.

Clothes worn before would not be worn a second time, and he did not allow people to enter his room easily, claiming that they would taint the air inside and affect his mood.

He also hated to have any other person touch his body. At first it had just been due to pure dislike but after he was afflicted with the ice and fire Yin Yang Curse, no one could even get close to him, unless they had had enough of living and were courting death.

In the past hundred years, no one had been able to get within even three meters of him, much less come to touch him.

But right before their eyes….. The lass had just felt him all over didn’t she?

Why did he not fly into a rage? Instead, the expression on his face was….. looking a little helpless.

That’s just too amazing.

Mu Lai had already noticed from earlier that the man with Qing Yu possessed a very powerful presence, an invisible form emanating out from him unconsciously. It could be seen from that just how unfathomably profound that man’s cultivation really was. Upon that flawless countenance crafted by the hands of the gods, that pair of rare violet eyes were just so deep and mystifying.

She averted her eyes after glancing briefly from afar, for no other reason than the fact that those violet eyes were just too devilish. She had almost had her soul hooked without even gazing carefully at them, so it could easily be imagined just how dangerous they really were.

But, to think Qing Yu had come to know such a powerful man. Could she have come to know him back when she was accidentally transported into the White Fen Continent?

It must be said that Mu Lai guess was really quite accurate this time. They had indeed come to know each other in the White Fen Lands, although it had not been all that pleasant an encounter then.

After they successfully passed through the Flaming Red Ghosts’ territory, the grey robed man continued to take the lead to scout the way forward. They encountered quite a number of wandering spirits and ghosts along the way, but they were of no challenge to him at all so he dealt with them quickly as they advanced.
