Aoyama leaned closer to Bronze and lowered his voice to continue, "I suspect that what she's doing might be related to monsters or something. If I fall asleep, wouldn't I miss this important opportunity to see a monster? So I have to go and check it out."
“How could that be!” Bronze immediately retorted.
“Miss Long is neither a Taoist priest nor a demon hunter. How could she possibly go to a monster’s door in the middle of the night to cause trouble? You! Stop having these wild and unrealistic ideas all the time.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Qingshan retorted confidently, “Last time when you encountered the cat demon and wolf demon in the suburbs, wasn’t she originally planning to go alone? It was only after the prince took you with her that you encountered them.”
"Anyway, I think Miss Long is not simple. Although she is neither a Taoist priest nor a demon hunter, she knows far more than we imagine. Moreover, I always feel that there is a very mysterious aura about her."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore." After saying that, he ran out quickly.
Watching Qingshan's figure disappear into the courtyard, Qing Tong thought carefully about what Qingshan had said and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
He went back to his room to change into a thick coat, intending to go and take a look as well.
Qingying shared a room with him. When she saw him change into warm clothes and prepare to go out, she asked him what was wrong. In the end, the two of them went out together.
Instead of going directly to Qinli Courtyard to find Qingsong, Qingshan went directly to Qingzhou and Qingyang, who were waiting near Qiushui Pavilion.
When the two saw his sudden appearance, they asked him in confusion. After learning his thoughts, they both expressed their helplessness.
They preferred to go back to their warm beds and sleep soundly, so they didn't quite understand his decision not to enjoy his good fortune.
Even if there really are monsters, encountering one would be a dangerous thing!
I don't understand, I really don't understand...
They waited until around 9 PM and found that Long Chuqing had indeed left. Qingyang then called Qingshan back to inform him, while he and Qingzhou followed behind Long Chuqing.
Long Chuqing pouted and said to Xiao Han, who had come to her side, "Did you send someone to spy on me?"
“Chu Qing… I didn’t intend to spy on you,” Xiao Han explained. “It’s just that when we walked back to the palace together this evening, you mentioned that the unconscious people in the west of the city were not suffering from illness, but rather from other external factors.”
"But when I asked you again what the reason was, you were somewhat vague and did not want to answer the question directly."
“I also noticed that there was a lot of mud on your shoes today, as if you had walked on a lot of muddy roads. This reminded me of the strange phenomenon they were talking about, but you didn’t mention it at all when you went to Dongzi’s house to treat his father that day.”
"So I suspect there must be some other hidden reason. They were afraid you would take risks alone, so they had someone keep an eye on your movements. Don't be angry."
Long Chuqing angrily flung his hand away, turned around and said coldly, "Surveillance is surveillance, no need for further explanation."
Seeing Long Chuqing's angry expression, Xiao Han said in a panic, "Chuqing, I'm sorry, I was just worried about you, I really didn't mean to spy on you, I promise I won't do it again."
A few seconds later, Long Chuqing's lips curled up slightly, and she turned around with a sneer: "Just kidding..."
She looked at Qingzhou and Qingyang standing behind Xiao Han: "I noticed they were following me when I left. If I had insisted on shaking them off, they would not have been able to catch up with me at all."
“I just thought that if they lost me, you would be worried, so I let them follow me.”
Xiao Han smiled after hearing this: "It's good that you're not angry."
"What's there to be angry about? The reason I didn't tell you this evening was because..."
Long Chuqing lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Should she tell them about the monster? Would it frighten them in the middle of the night?
Xiao Han asked with a mixture of curiosity and doubt, "Why?"
Since they've already seen monsters, there's no harm in telling them: "Here's what we'll do! Stand still and close your eyes."
Xiao Han and the others looked puzzled after hearing this.
Xiao Han pressed further, "You're not planning to sneak away while we're keeping our eyes closed, are you?"
“If I wanted to sneak away, you wouldn’t be able to find me now.” Long Chuqing handed him the other end of the whip.
"If you're afraid I'll run away, you can pull the whip."
Xiao Han pulled the whip with some skepticism, then slowly closed his eyes, and the others followed suit.
Long Chuqing pulled off the phoenix hairpin from her head, raised her hand, and a pale golden light gently swept past in front of the group.
"Alright, now you can open your eyes and look around!" Long Chuqing said, kindly reminding him, "Stand firm, or you'll be so surprised you'll tumble off the roof."
Upon hearing this, the group opened their eyes simultaneously and looked around intently.
For a moment, everyone was stunned by the sight before them, their eyes widening and their mouths agape.
Before my eyes appeared countless fine threads, each shimmering with a pale blue-silver light. Some were darker, others lighter, and they resembled waves, gently undulating and swaying.
They seemed to be gently pulsating like living blood vessels, extending outwards to every corner of the western part of the city.
Some threads burrowed into the surrounding houses, while others stretched further into the distance, seemingly without end.
"So beautiful!" Qingyang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Miss Long, what are all these dense, glowing threads? We didn't see them when we came here."
“Beautiful?” Long Chuqing was speechless for a moment. She looked up and around.
Well! I have to say, these pale blue-silver threads do look quite spectacular in the dark night.
"Chu Qing," Xiao Han turned and asked, "What exactly are these thin lines that glow with blue light?"
Long Chuqing stood straight on the roof ridge, holding a whip and pointing down, saying in a serious tone, "These threads are all related to the coma I heard about during the day."
“Each thin thread connects to a person who is in a coma, and they are controlled by a dream demon.”
"A dream demon?" the group exclaimed in unison.
Then, strange bird calls came from afar, along with a gust of cold wind howling past.
Suddenly, they felt a jolt of electricity run through their bodies, making them tremble and unconsciously rub their arms.
Upon hearing this, Qingshan became somewhat excited. He clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect, thinking to himself, "Luckily, I didn't oversleep and come along tonight, otherwise I would have missed another opportunity."
Just as he expected, he guessed that the Dragon Girl had come to find a monster, and at that moment, a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
Qingshan nudged Qing Tong, who was standing next to him, with his elbow and said in a low, smug voice, "How about that? I was right, wasn't I?"
Bronze glanced at him, surprised that the kid had actually guessed correctly. Look how smug he is.
