Chapter 295 Will-o'-the-wisp (two-in-one)

Chapter 295 Will-o'-the-wisp (two-in-one)

Li Xuan was awakened by the screams for the first time.

After he turned over and got up, he gently brushed the faces of the two princesses with his tail. The tickling feeling made them slowly wake up from their sleep.

Facing this familiar touch, Princess Ankang didn't even open her eyes, and muttered: "Axuan, sleep well and don't be naughty!"

Li Xuan didn't waste any time. He tilted his butt back and covered Princess Ankang's face, suffocating her.

The feeling of suffocation instantly dispelled the dazed sleepiness, and directly cheered up Princess Ankang.

She pushed Li Xuan's butt away with all her strength, then sat up directly from the bed, pouting several times with a look of disgust.

"Axuan, come here!"

Princess Ankang was so angry that she went to catch Li Xuan, but she couldn't catch him.

Li Xuan jumped over Princess Yuan'an lightly, but Princess Ankang's hand clutched Princess Yuan'an's chest tightly.

"Sister Royal..."

Princess Yuan'an had woken up at this time, and a pair of eyes stared at Princess Ankang resentfully in the darkness.

She has always been a light sleeper, and because she was sharing the same bed with Li Xuan tonight, she was even more excited and did not sleep well.

Princess Yuanan had just been hugging Li Xuan and kissing her in her dream, but suddenly the touch on her face became real.

As a result, she woke up from her dream because she was so excited.

Princess Yuan'an was secretly annoyed when she woke up from her erotic dream, only to be attacked in the chest the next moment.

"Well……"

"Yuanan, you're awake."

Princess Ankang retracted her hand silently, feeling embarrassed.

Although the room was dark, just enough to hide her embarrassment, the atmosphere could not be changed.

But at this moment, Princess Ankang happened to hear the noise outside the room, and she immediately straightened her face again and said seriously:

"Axuan, there must be something wrong with waking us up late at night."

"I saw you hadn't moved, so I wanted to wake you up, but I didn't expect you were already awake."

Princess Ankang never mentioned where she had just been arrested, and Princess Yuanan never mentioned the matter again.

Anyway, they are both girls, so there is no big taboo.

It's just that the two princesses are not familiar enough to attack each other's sensitive parts at will.

Although what happened before made their atmosphere awkward, it also invisibly brought the distance between the two closer.

At this time, Li Xuan had already called Yu'er.

Although Yu'er was wiping her eyes in confusion, she heard the noise outside as soon as she got up.

Logically speaking, the sound insulation effect of the rooms on the fourth floor is very good, so it will not be so noisy.

Moreover, it is late at night, and the guests who come to Hu Yulou to have fun have also taken a rest, so they shouldn't be so noisy.

"Axuan, what's going on outside?"

After Yu'er got up, she subconsciously asked Li Xuan.

Although Li Xuan's ears were sharp, it was difficult to judge the situation by only listening to the sounds outside.

Just one word that appeared made him very concerned.

"Haunted?"

Li Xuan did hear people talking about hauntings on Flower Street tonight, but he didn't expect that they would bump into them.

I don’t know whether I should say it’s good luck or bad luck.

"With the commotion outside so loud, those father-in-laws must have taken action, right?"

Li Xuan walked to the door and opened the door with his claws.

Outside the door, two eunuchs in colorful clothes were guarding. When they saw the door open, they immediately lowered their heads.

They wanted to see each other's shoes first and confirm their identity before deciding whether to look up, but as soon as they looked down they saw the real owner.

The two father-in-laws and Li Xuan stared at each other for a moment. Then they heard the movement in the room, and then they dared to half-kneel at the door. Without even stepping in, they reported softly:

"You two ladies, there was a sudden fire in a room on the fourth floor. Someone has gone to check."

"It's just that the fire is burning strangely. Why don't we ask the two ladies to move downstairs first and see the situation clearly."

Li Xuan walked between them and saw the green corridor on the fourth floor.

They were right, the fire was indeed strange, and the one he was meowing was actually green.

And the burning room was diagonally opposite them.

But it wasn't the room where Hou San was recovering from his injuries.

"It is Hou San's room that is haunted!?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but stare.

In the corridor on the fourth floor, many people were busy putting out the fire.

There are people from Hu Yulou and people from the Hou family.

They carried buckets of water and poured it into the room to put out the fire, but the fire could not be stopped and even grew stronger when exposed to water.

"this……"

Li Xuan looked solemn immediately after seeing it.

But within a few steps of walking out of the room, he saw Doctor Fang sitting awkwardly on the ground not far from their door.

The clothes on his body were also burnt, and his face was covered in ashes. He was staring blankly at the blazing fire.

Li Xuan walked next to him and meowed softly.

Doctor Fang came back to his senses immediately, and saw Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a gentle smile.

"Where did this little black cat come from, and where is your master?"

Doctor Fang reached out and touched Li Xuan's head. The technique was very skillful. It seemed that he had petted many cats.

Li Xuan did not resist.

Maybe it's because Dr. Fang is a doctor who treats illnesses and saves lives.

He has a gentle aura that makes it easy for small animals to get close to him.

Some people prefer cats and dogs, precisely for this reason.

"This fire is weird, go back to your master and hide for a while."

Doctor Fang said and picked up Li Xuan.

The way he held the cat was also very particular. He held Li Xuan's butt and tail so that his lower body wouldn't hang in the air, which made him feel safer.

Doctor Fang walked straight to the door where two eunuchs in colorful clothes were half-kneeling.

He came closer and saw this scene clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Seeing someone approaching, the eunuchs in colorful clothes immediately stood up and stopped in front of Dr. Fang.

Doctor Fang subconsciously felt his breathing stagnant. He quickly took two steps back, and then handed over the cat in his hand.

"Is this your cat?"

"You guys should go down and take shelter. This fire is a little weird. Maybe it's really haunted."

The eunuchs in colorful clothes felt relieved when they saw that Doctor Fang was only here to warn, and also noticed that he had no cultivation level.

A eunuch in colorful clothes was about to reach out to pick up Li Xuan, but Li Xuan broke free from Doctor Fang's hand, climbed all the way up to the head of the eunuch in colorful clothes, and sat firmly.

The eunuch in colorful clothes had a bitter look on his face, but he couldn't help but scratch Li Xuan on his head.

These eunuchs in colorful clothes are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they have all seen how their two housekeepers carried the cat on their shoulders while walking.

Now that the cat is willing to sit on his head, it is considered a great honor.

It's just that it makes people look really funny.

"Well, I'll take my leave now."

Doctor Fang didn't like an outsider to take care of other people's cats, so he just bowed his hands and went downstairs.

He was just a doctor invited to see a doctor, and there was no need to follow those people to put out the fire.

At this time, Princess Ankang's voice came from the room.

"I know, please wait a moment."

Then a rustling sound came from the room.

Princess Yuan'an's personal maid had also been awakened at this time, and got up and helped the two princesses change clothes with Yu'er.

The two eunuchs in colorful clothes immediately returned to the door, turned their backs to the inside, and closed the door again.

Speaking of which, the fire on the opposite side is also weird. Although it burns vigorously, it does not spread very much. If you pour water on it, it will suddenly explode.

Li Xuan sat on the head of the flower-dressed eunuch, touched him with his tail, and then stretched out his tail to point to the fire scene in front of him.

The eunuch in colorful clothes who was commanded couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Li Xuan, and happened to meet Li Xuan's eyes.

This cat's eyes are extremely beautiful, with amber-like eyeballs and two abyss-like black vertical pupils, with a hint of ice blue in the pupils.

Li Xuan's eyes seemed to be able to speak, and the colorful eunuch immediately understood what he meant.

"I'll go take a look at the front."

The eunuch in colorful clothes said to his companion.

His companion also saw the gesticulating cat above his head, so he nodded and agreed.

But before Li Xuan could get closer with his mount, there was a new situation at the fire scene.

Several muffled sounds were heard, followed by the frightened screams of a group of men:

"Ghost, will-o'-the-wisp, this must be a will-o'-the-wisp!"

Several people who were still carrying water to put out the fire suddenly rolled their eyes without warning, foamed at their mouths, fainted and fell to the ground.

When the others saw this strange scene, they all took a few steps back, as far away from the green flames as they could.

Each one of them was so frightened that their legs trembled, and they were all shocked and couldn't understand why.

"Who told you to stop?"

"Keep putting out the fire!"

"The young master is still inside. If he dies, which of you will be responsible!?"

Butler Fan shouted hysterically in the crowd, his eyes red.

The scribe's robe on his body was now pitch black, and he looked as embarrassed as he wanted.

To be honest, he was the most afraid of everyone present, but he still had to put out the fire and rescue Hou San.

If Hou San was killed by the bomb, it had nothing to do with him.

But if he was burned to death like this, Butler Fan would not be able to escape the blame.

But even so, facing this weird scene in front of them, no one dared to step forward easily, and they all shrank back.

Li Xuan couldn't help but become more curious when he saw this scene. He patted the colorful eunuch with his tail and asked him to take him over to take a look.

Although the eunuch in colorful clothes felt unhappy, he could only do as he was told.

But as soon as he came closer, Li Xuan's nose sniffed.

"What does this smell like?"

Li Xuanzheng felt strange, but the eunuch in colorful clothes suddenly stopped and frowned.

"This fire is poisonous!"

Li Xuan looked at the eunuch in colorful clothes under his butt in astonishment.

Butler Fan, who was not far away, also heard this.

He turned to look at the eunuch in colorful clothes, and at first glance he felt that this person was extraordinary.

Although it looks funny to stand up to a cat, Butler Fan trusts his intuition.

He was about to say something to the eunuch in colorful clothes, and then he saw the eunuch in colorful clothes suddenly took a step back and assumed a posture of lunging and extending his palms.

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of my way!"

Li Xuan immediately felt something was wrong. The momentum of the eunuch in colorful clothes was rising rapidly.

He immediately wrapped his tail around the colorful eunuch's neck and fixed his body.

The next moment, the eunuch in colorful clothes shouted loudly and pushed out.

"Water Dragon Yin!"

A stream of azure water Qi as thick as a water tank was instantly ejected from the palm of the flower-dressed eunuch, and a low dragon roar rang in everyone's ears.

The water element's true energy slowly condensed and formed in mid-air, forming a dragon shape, right in the middle of the fire field.

The green flame was immediately washed away by the water dragon and taken directly out of the window.

Along with the fragments of doors, windows and various furniture, scattered on the flower street.

The green fire was still attached to the fragments and burning slowly, but it was destined not to last long.

At this time, the originally burning room opened up in front of everyone's eyes, giving a clear view.

The fire that they had been working on for a long time but could not save was easily solved with one palm.

Now there are only sporadic fire spots left in the remains of the room, which is no longer a cause for concern.

Butler Fan looked at this strange man with a black cat on his head, feeling inexplicably horrified.

"Control Qi and transform into shape, a fifth-grade master!"

But Butler Fan looked at the clean room and his heart skipped a few beats.

"It's over, young master..."

But at this moment, a servant of the Hou family shouted:

"Steward Fan, the young master is still here, the young master is still here..."

Someone came close to the door, pointed to the original location of the bed, and stammered excitedly.

Butler Fan turned his anger into joy and went in to check it out regardless of whether it was poisonous or not. As a result, he saw that the corner of the bed was still green.

And the servant who stuttered before finally spoke fluently.

"Young master is still burning!"

Butler Fan was stunned on the spot, looking at the charred black figure still burning on the bed, he felt his eyes go black, his chest felt tight, and he fainted on the spot.

"Ah this..."

Li Xuan didn't know what to say after seeing it.

The servants and Hu Yulou's waiters were already suspicious, but they didn't dare to step forward when they saw Butler Fan also lying on the ground.

On the other hand, the eunuch in colorful clothes who was standing up to Li Xuan slowly withdrew his attack and let out a heavy breath.

It seems that the previous move was not easy for him.

Just based on the previous move, Li Xuan already understood that the eunuch in flower clothes under his butt should be a master of the third grade.

To release the true energy and condense it into shape like just now is not something that can be done in the Qi Sensing Realm.

Li Xuan silently loosened the tail wrapped around his neck.

He had overthought it before. This eunuch in colorful clothes was extremely skilled in controlling power, and when he used such powerful moves, Li Xuan on his head was not affected at all.

At this time, Li Xuan suddenly began to reflect on whether he had been rude to him just now.

He thought about it and felt that it was not rude at all, so he was immediately relieved.

At this time, the eunuch in colorful clothes who put out the fire raised his eyes and asked Li Xuan:

"Do you still want to go there?"

Li Xuan meowed immediately, jumped on his shoulder, looked at the eunuch in colorful clothes, smiled and nodded at him.

This sudden change in attitude made the eunuch in colorful clothes say the truth, but it also made him couldn't help but smile.

The eunuch in colorful clothes had always had a cold expression, but suddenly he smiled like this, which was quite humane.

This eunuch in colorful clothes looks like he is only in his twenties, so he should not be thirty years old yet.

With such strength at such a young age, should it be said that he was trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Li Xuan only knew that the eunuch in colorful clothes was powerful before, but he didn't expect that a random person could have such strength.

No wonder Manager Shang and Zhao Fengneng have such a solid position.

The group of colorful eunuchs they have in their hands is indeed a force that cannot be underestimated.

The eunuch in colorful clothes took Li Xuan into the burned-out room that was covered in black marks.

Li Xuan took a look and found that it was indeed Hou San's room.

He himself was still burning selflessly on the bed, bringing bursts of warmth to everyone.

I guess Hou San himself didn't expect that he would have such a moment of dedication in the end.

The bed was almost burned down, and the figures on it were almost carbonized.

Butler Fan fell near the door, foaming silently at his mouth.

At this time, the eunuch in colorful clothes said:

"We can't stay here for too long. The poisonous gas has not completely dissipated. If you inhale a certain amount, it will happen."

He pointed at the unconscious people on the ground and said.

"We need to take the two ladies down for refuge as soon as possible."

Li Xuan nodded and agreed to the eunuch's proposal.

He came in just to see if there were any clues left in the room, but now it seemed that the place had been burned too thoroughly.

In addition, the eunuch in colorful clothes extinguished the fire with the Water Dragon Roar, and the damage here was even more complete.

What's a little strange is that Li Xuan doesn't react to the poisonous gas mentioned by the colorful eunuch.

He could just smell a special smell, a bit like stale garlic.

But apart from the unpleasant smell, it didn't make him feel any physical discomfort.

Of course, the physiques of cats and humans cannot be generalized.

It was normal for Li Xuan not to react to the poisonous gas produced by the burning green flame.

His physique is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he knows this very well.

Then, Li Xuan and the eunuch in colorful clothes returned.

The two princesses in the room were already dressed.

Under the protection of the colorful eunuch, the group arrived at the first floor of Hu Yulou.

The previous movement woke up many people, and the place was busy at this time.

Many disheveled guests were waiting here.

The previous activity of fighting the fire did not wake up many people.

However, when the eunuch in colorful clothes put out the fire later, almost everyone in Hu Yulou was awakened.

Tonight is destined to be an uneventful night.

Mother Zhou wore a light gauze to soothe the guests.

Just now, many customers had already changed places with curses and said they would never come again.

Mother Zhou could only send them off with a smile on her face.

They had played all night and needed to catch up on some sleep, but they couldn't even sleep well. Of course they got up angry again.

In this way, many of Hu Yulou's guests dispersed. Only a few didn't care about the situation and even started to have fun again while waiting on the first floor.

All I can say is that these people are really energetic.

In order to apologize, Mother Zhou naturally entertained her with good wine and good food.

The ladies at Hu Yulou had to work overtime again in the middle of the night.

After they confirmed that the fire upstairs had been completely extinguished, they informed the guests that they could return to their rooms on their own.

But some guests had lost their sleep and simply found a place to play in the empty Hu Yulou.

In the past, Hu Yulou was crowded and bustling, but it was not as deserted as it is now.

This gives them a different feeling and makes them more excited to play.

Princess Ankang and others returned to their previous private room on the second floor, eating some fruits and drinks and passing the time.

During this process, Li Xuan had already shared the previous situation with Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

The three little ones are used to writing on each other's bodies to communicate, so communication is easy.

Princess Yuanan on the side saw them writing and drawing on their bodies and felt a little lonely. She couldn't help but ask them what they were doing.

Apart from anything else, Princess Yuanan also wanted Li Xuan to write on her body.

Princess Ankang was also curious when she saw Princess Yuanan. It happened that she also wanted to ask the eunuchs about something, so she didn't hide anything and selectively shared what Li Xuan told her.

After Princess Yuanan heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Ah, the fire just burned that Hou San to death?"

"Well, that's what Ah Xuan said." Princess Ankang nodded, and then continued: "And I heard that this fire is also a bit weird."

Princess Ankang said, silently turning her gaze to a colorful eunuch.

Li Xuan had previously told Princess Ankang that this person put out the fire.

"Miss."

The eunuch in colorful clothes understood the situation and made a report immediately.

"At three o'clock tonight, there was some commotion in the room, and then several girls from Hu Yulou and Butler Fan ran out from inside."

"At that time, the fire had already started."

They had been guarding outside the room where Princess Ankang and the others were resting tonight, so they were fairly clear about what had happened previously.

"The villain thought that the fire was not big and they could control it quickly, but it turned out that the fire was not extinguished by water and kept growing."

"The villain saw something was wrong and wanted to tell the two ladies to go down and take shelter. However, the door opened on its own and this person walked out..."

The eunuch in colorful clothes held his hands and greeted Li Xuanxu respectfully, but he didn't know what to call him.

His respect was not because Li Xuan was the cat raised by Princess Ankang, but because Li Xuan was very close to his two stewards.

Although these colorful eunuchs act coldly like machines when they are on duty, they are still human beings after all, and they will tell their colleagues about many things they see.

They were working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had met Li Xuan and the two general managers many times when they were young and old.

They believed that they would never dare to do such a thing, so they also respected Li Xuan.

In any case, having a better attitude towards Li Xuan would definitely not do any harm to them, would it?

Princess Ankang immediately said thoughtfully: "Just call him A Xuan."

She touched Li Xuan in her arms, full of pride.

The eunuch in colorful clothes nodded and continued to report:

"Master A Xuan came out."

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were stunned when they heard the words "Master Ah Xuan".

Li Xuan even thought: "As expected of a colorful eunuch trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, isn't he really good at getting things done?"

"Hey, I'm an adult too!"

Seeing Li Xuan's smile, the eunuch in colorful clothes secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"Master Ah Xuan went to see the fire, but was sent back by a young man. The man even advised us to go down and hide."

"Later, Mr. Xuan ordered me to take him over to see the fire scene. When the villain walked in, he found that the green fire would produce poisonous miasma when it burned, so he immediately put out the fire, which caused quite a stir."

After saying that, the eunuch in colorful clothes knelt down to apologize.

"The villain made his own decision, and I asked the two princesses to punish him."

These eunuchs in colorful clothes, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, are still servants. No matter what they do, they need to be ordered by their masters.

Especially this time when the princes and princesses came out of the palace to investigate the case, it was an even more special situation.

The princes and princesses concealed their identities and then investigated the case secretly.

Therefore, according to the rules, unless the master is destined, the eunuchs in colorful clothes must keep a low profile and cannot bring unnecessary attention and trouble to the master.

At first, the eunuch in colorful clothes did not help put out the fire, but continued to protect the two princesses for this reason.

Later, even if the fire spread, they just wanted to take the two princesses to escape.

Because they did not expect at first that so many people could not put out such a small fire.

At this time, the eunuchs in colorful clothes were already very upset.

It was already their fault to disturb the two princesses from their rest for such a reason.

Later, the eunuch in colorful clothes accidentally discovered that the green fire was poisonous. To ensure the safety of the two princesses, he took action decisively.

If the situation escalates further, they will be completely derelict in their responsibility.

In the final analysis, they underestimated the power of the green fire, so they came up with the worse solution tonight.

But luckily, at least both princesses were not too affected.

But a mistake is a mistake, so the eunuch in colorful clothes can only come forward to plead guilty.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan looked at each other and shook their heads slowly.

Then, Princess Ankang said: "Both of us are fine, why are you guilty? Get up."

"Thank you, ladies."

The eunuch in colorful clothes bowed deeply and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Even if some masters did not understand the situation at first, when the people below asked for forgiveness, they would punish them severely in order to show their dignity.

In fact, there are not many people in the palace who can be as generous as Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan.

Moreover, speaking of it, they had indeed neglected their duties tonight, and even if they were severely punished, they would have nothing to say.

"The way you put it, this fire is really strange."

"Green fire, I haven't seen it yet."

Princess Ankang held her chin up and tilted her head slightly, as if she was imagining what Green Fire looked like.

When the two princesses left the room, the green fire in Hou San's room had been violently extinguished by the eunuch in colorful clothes, so they could not see it.

Hearing Princess Ankang's soliloquy, the eunuch in colorful clothes who had reported earlier frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then reported:

"Actually, the villain heard some noises on the street before he saw someone running out of the room."

"It seems that someone was frightened by the sight of the will-o'-the-wisp, and then started the fire."

After hearing this, Princess Ankang immediately wondered:

"Is this street really haunted?"

Li Xuan also narrowed his eyes.

He did hear someone shouting that he was haunted before in his sleep.

Now when I heard the eunuch in colorful clothes say this, it might really be the voice from the street.

In this case, the strange green flame first appeared on the street and then burned into Hou San's room.

This matter can be verified immediately if we look for witnesses during the day tomorrow.

But just as they were talking about tonight's will-o'-the-wisp, Zhou's mother turned around and came.

Because there are very few people in Hu Yulou now, the door of their private room is not closed.

Mother Zhou stood at the door and knocked gently twice.

She bowed to the two princesses and introduced herself:

"Two young ladies, Zhou Qian from the slave family, run this Hu Yulou."

"I have caused you so much trouble today, so please forgive me."

The two princesses stopped talking silently, their eyes couldn't help but be attracted to Zhou's mother.

Even Li Xuan couldn't help but feel dazzled by the almost transparent gauze on Zhou's mother's body and the dazzling milky white on her chest.

Wandering and wandering, I feel lost.

Li Xuan silently turned to look at Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan.

Come to think of it, just hanging their heads there is nothing more than that.

As the saying goes, seeing something strange is better than living ten years.

Although there were twists and turns, Hu Yulou’s visit today was really not in vain!

Thanks to Thought Lab 0, Jian Chun, Dao Wu Shu, Jian Chong Yin Yang, and Yunzhong Diazhou for their reward support.

Thank you all book friends for your monthly support.

I felt that the plot was more coherent, so I posted them together.

Let's see if it's difficult to read.

Everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I wrote an extra 1,200 words as compensation.

Good night, see you tomorrow
