Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 161: Beauty Emerging from Bath (Fifth Update)

“Uncle Han, it is likely that these ghosts, agitated by our presence, are now desperately causing trouble tonight as a last resort.”

Yu Wenjing snorted disdainfully, looking over the many of able people who were injured or dead, he spoke with scorn, “Uncle Han, I've long said these people are unreliable. Look at them in battle; they do nothing but add to the chaos.”

The remaining able people, upon hearing these words, were all too angry to speak.

“The true form of that ghost must still be hidden among us. Everyone, follow me inside to kill the enemy.”

With the tone of a leader, Yu Wenjing was the first to step into the servants' quarters.

Many disciples from the righteous sects also entered, and soon after, sounds of fierce fighting came from within.

“Right, how is Ru Yan faring? I hope she hasn't encountered any danger.”

Worriedly pacing outside, Han Jinghuan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.

“Master, the young miss has been reading in her boudoir tonight, accompanied by Miss Mo.”

A servant reported immediately, which made Han Jinghuan breathe a sigh of relief: “That's good, that's good.”

Su Jie's eyes narrowed slightly; no wonder he hadn't seen Mo Shiyao's presence, nor had he seen Qi Shijian–it was likely that sycophant was lingering around Mo Shiyao again, which is why he hadn't shown up in this side courtyard.

Making eye contact with Xiao Fengyuan and Ning Xinyue, the two understood his signal, and the three of them silently withdrew from the crowd.

Su Jie found a maid to lead the way, and the three of them quickly headed towards Han Ruyan's location.

While the righteous disciples were distracted by the fierce ghost, it was the perfect time to deal with Qi Shijian.

“Just ahead is the young miss's boudoir courtyard. I'll go announce your arrival…”

Before the maid could finish speaking, her neck was struck by Su Jie's hand, and she fainted hazily to the ground.

“Brother Xiao, block the exit. Junior Sister Zhu, you're in charge of monitoring the movements of the righteous disciples; cover any oversights. I'll go in first to check the situation.”

Su Jie gave his orders and then used the Mysterious Shadow Secret Technique to silently enter the courtyard.

The yard was quite large, with pavilions and terraces hidden among the clouds, and the flying eaves provided a serene environment.

Su Jie pricked up his ears and heard the voices of Mo Shiyao and Han Ruyan. His eyes lit up with joy, “They're here.”

Given Qi Shijian's sycophantic nature, he would certainly not be far from Mo Shiyao. Finding her equaled finding Qi Shijian.

The next moment, Su Jie pushed open the door from where the voices were coming. The room inside was elegantly furnished, with a graceful landscape painting hanging on the wall. Several layers of colorful curtains divided the space, and the candlelight was dim. The air was filled with a faint scent of flowers.

The candles burned brightly; several flower vases were placed on the dressing table, filled with fresh flowers that danced in the night breeze, radiating bursts of fragrance.

The room was filled with steaming mist, creating a hazy atmosphere. As Su Jie opened the door, he found himself face to face with a beautiful silhouette.

It was a stunning woman, lightly dressed in translucent silk. Her curvaceous figure, perfect teeth, and elegant brows, a graceful neck leading to exquisite shoulders, her waist as slim as willow, an exemplar of elegance, with partial bare shoulders, water droplets slowly sliding down her fair and delicate skin into the deep valley of her bosom, her exposed long jade legs were beautiful, defining her as a peerless beauty, full of charm and allure.

This woman was none other than Han Ruyan, the Han Family's young miss, with whom he had a brief acquaintance.

As if time stood still, Su Jie was startled, then turned his gaze towards the curtains behind her.

He could vaguely see the steam rising on the other side, and the blurred figure of another woman, which undoubtedly must be Mo Shiyao.

The two women were bathing here, no wonder Qi Shijian was nowhere to be seen.

While Su Jie's thoughts drifted away, the expressions on Han Ruyan's face transformed from dumbfounded, to dazed, to shocked, to bewildered, and finally to a color of sheer embarrassment.

“You, you scoundrel…”

A cry of rage, Han Ruyan tightly clutched her immaculate and enchanting body, but the thin gauze could hardly hide her alabaster skin that was faintly discernible.

“What's going on.”

Behind the curtain, Mo Shiyao burst forth from the water with lightning speed, spun in mid-air, items from her Storage Bag flying about as she quickly dressed in a white robe, stepping onto the rippling water and arriving just in time to see the scene before the door. She immediately understood what was happening.

“True Word–Thousand Sword Marvelous Sound!”

Mo Shiyao walked forward, with frost gathering behind her in the moonlight.

She stepped upon a bridge of moonlight, her mouth emitting heavenly sounds, with swords divine shooting forth, aiming straight for Su Jie's vital spots.

“Misunderstanding.”

Su Jie hastily sidestepped backward, and the divine swords flashed by, burying themselves ten meters deep into the ground.

“You shameless thief, how dare you peep! Today, I will grind your bones to dust and scatter them to the winds.”

Enraged to the extreme, Mo Shiyao didn't understand why she hadn't detected Su Jie approaching.

Logically, people of the martial arts world with such mediocre skills should be noticed by her over a distance of a hundred meters.

“Who's peeping? I detected an enemy presence and came over here to catch a ghost.”

If it wasn't for the fact that Su Jie hadn't detected Qi Shijian, and it wasn't a good time to reveal his identity, he would have seized Mo Shiyao and beaten her right there for daring to slander him so.

Mo Shiyao's eyebrows furrowed downward in anger, seething with rage, “Still saying it's not you? Where is there any ghost here…”

“Miss Mo, don't… don't kill him… Just beating him up to vent your anger will suffice.”

Hidden behind the curtain, Han Ruyan advised in a soft voice.

Although she was very angry, she did not intend for Su Jie's life to be taken.

However, as she spoke, not two meters away from her on the hanging ink painting,

what was originally a landscape started to reveal a beautiful woman's figure. At first, it was just a faint speck, but then she walked closer and closer until her entire figure seemed to step out of the painting, her jade arms so fair that they put frost to shame, reaching straight out of the painting. Eventually, her upper body also leaned forward, reaching out toward Han Ruyan.

Mo Shiyao, with her back to Han Ruyan, did not notice, but Su Jie, who was facing Han Ruyan, saw it all too clearly.

“Hey, watch out behind you.”

Su Jie pressed his foot down, causing a floor tile to tilt up.

He kicked it, and the tile exploded forward, striking the face of the woman emerging from the painting.

The tile sunk in as if into water, without feeling the impact of a solid body, but this act disrupted the ghost's movements.

The Painting Woman's long hair danced with the wind, her mouth curving up into a smile with a hint of eeriness.

“Ah!”

Clueless until the last moment, Han Ruyan turned around and was horrified by the sight of the woman emerging from the painting.

Although she had seventh-level cultivation in the Yunling Realm, she had been protected and pampered since childhood, had never experienced battle, and her practice was more like a method of physical and spiritual cultivation. Naturally, she had little response to a crisis.

“What ghost dares to appear.”

Mo Shiyao's eyes flashed, her figure swiftly moved in front of Han Ruyan, her mouth contained the Heavenly Constitution, and Marvelous Sound began to play effortlessly.

The painting in front was torn apart, and the woman from within was separated at the waist, her upper body falling to the ground while her lower half remained within the painting. Moreover, both halves calmly began to turn right-side up, creating an exceptionally eerie sight.
