"Why did you come, Jiang Cheng?" asked Xiao Zhan suddenly.

"I don't trust you, you're sure to do something crazy and get into trouble."

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips in a pout "Why do you have so little faith in me?"

"Because I know you," Jiang Cheng replied vaguely.

Knowing Wei Wuxian as Jiang Cheng does, he was more than sure he was going to get into some unexplained trouble in the strangest way possible, it's better to be safe than sorry.

"B-Brother Wei is v-very strong" Wen Ning's shy voice sounded as low as a whisper in Wei Ying's defense "H-He helped me a lot."

Xiao Zhan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Actually, he had done nothing, there was not even the scene where he teaches Wen Ning archery, because this time "Wei Wuxian" had not been punished. The only thing Xiao Zhan did was to help Wen Ning fix his bow and teach him some yoga when the two Wen siblings helped Jiang YanLi, who had been feeling a little bad about the change of weather.

On second thought, it was a good way to bond with the Wen to wait for the catastrophe.

Lan WangJi continued to lead the way without comment, he seemed very focused and no one bothered him. Xiao Zhan also didn't make the effort to talk to him, he kept himself more entertained wanting to draw conversation out of Wen Qing, while feeling Jiang Cheng's serious gaze on himself.

Xiao Zhan "..." I'm not interested in your wife, I just want an alliance.

More than halfway through they decided it was time to mount their swords. And Xiao Zhan felt like the King of the world as he controlled Suibian perfectly, after hard work practicing in secret, he could finally show off. If only for himself.

Putting aside everything, the trip and his companions, Xiao Zhan could not help but worry about this night hunt and why the book had decided to send him. Nor had he known the book could send him tasks.

If in the future this damn book ordered him to do something riskier, he would just open his arms and wait for the energy discharges and die in peace.

Xiao Zhan just wanted to live in peace and tranquility!

Why did he have to suffer these things?

It was already a difficult task to have transmigrated into Wei Wuxian's world, but he was grateful that it was at the beginning of the story and not after the Wen or reincarnation. That would have been hell itself.

It's a thousand times better to accomplish missions and not have to die eaten by corpses or thrown into the lava!

Either of the two deaths are horrible!

Jiang Cheng looked at his brother-friend who had a strange expression between worry and fear, his complexion was pale.

Had Wei Wuxian been unnerved by this night hunt?

He secretly vowed to protect this idiot. (TN: JC lowkey being best lil bro)

The sky was already beginning to darken when the five cultivators arrived at Chu Village, it was deserted. Like a ghost town. Everyone stood on guard as they landed.

"It looks as if..."

"...no one lived here."

Xiao Zhan swallowed dryly.

He is very afraid of ghosts!

The streets were empty, not a soul could be seen, added to the fact that it was almost night and there was no light in any of the houses.

Desert.

Lan WangJi said a few words, which was basically "An inn" and everyone followed the Lan like faithful soldiers chasing their general or a mother hen leading her chicks to shelter. Something along the lines of.

"Will there be any inns open in this ghost town?" asked Xiao Zhan who mentally clapped himself for keeping his voice steady and not showing the panic he was feeling inside.

At any moment his legs would stop supporting him if they still couldn't find anywhere to stay.

If he was freaking out about this... How does he think about defeating a demon?!

Xiao Zhan began to recite a few prayers in his heart that if he died, his soul might be saved and not be lost in the void and never be able to reincarnate.

"There's one!" Jiang Cheng pointed to what appeared to be an inn. Though...

"...Is it safe to spend the night in it?" Xiao Zhan asked a little worried about the almost non-existent structure of the inn. It looked like it would fall down at any moment.

Everyone "...." Hopeless.

Jiang Cheng was the one who knocked on the door, Xiao Zhan wouldn't dream of it, but no one answered or opened the door. He knocked on the door again a little harder and there was still no answer.

Until what...

"Get out of here demon!" shouted a very sharp and irritating male voice "There are no more women left! You have taken them all! Go away or you will feel my wrath, I, your father will kill you!"

Everyone:"....." Who is a demon? You are a demon! Your whole family is a demon!
