Ye Shu hurriedly chased after her and caught up to her side.

It must be said, today was quite lively. The main road was bustling with crowds of onlookers, all packed together, and the constant calls of vendors filled the air.

If it were a child, they might easily lose their way in this sea of people.

Ye Shu suggested from the side, "Master, how about we go into the lantern festival?"

He pulled out two admission tickets given to him by Bai Rou Rou.

The outer layer of Luoyang City didn't require admission tickets, but to enter the inner layer for the lantern festival, one needed to present these tickets.

Because of this restriction, the outer area was much more crowded than the inside.

Once inside, it should be much quieter.

"Mm, that's fine."

Luo Jiu Yan wasn't too comfortable with the crowded environment outside either. She had almost bumped into people several times, and if it weren't for her using her spiritual power to push them away, she might have lost her temper and caused a massacre!

If she really took action, today's universal celebration could turn into a day of disaster for them!

Hearing this, Ye Shu walked ahead to clear the path.

Due to his striking appearance and extraordinary demeanor, walking ahead naturally made others feel a sense of awe.

Soon, a straight path was opened by him.

Luo Jiu Yan naturally followed behind him, watching his tall and straight figure, she nodded slightly.

"Please present your admission tickets to enter!"

At the inner city gate, the guarding soldiers said to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu handed over the admission tickets.

They then opened the gate and urged the two to enter quickly.

Just as they were about to enter, a sweet voice suddenly came from behind.

"Oh dear, my several male companions are not human, they are beasts, can't you make an exception?"

"Miss, please don't make things difficult for us, we are just following the rules."

Ye Shu and Luo Jiu Yan simultaneously turned around to look behind them.

They saw a heavily made-up woman surrounded by several young men, arguing with the city guards.

Her appearance was quite striking, the kind you wouldn't forget at first sight.

Her two plump legs were each resting on the heads of young men kneeling on the ground, with two others massaging her shoulders and hands, and a young servant bending over to serve her with a fruit platter.

Even the fruit pits she spat out were caught by someone opening their mouth, which was quite nauseating.

Such a woman, being served by many men, was having trouble entering the inner city.

She didn't want to spend money on extra admission tickets, thinking these men were just beasts, not humans, and not worth the waste.

"A member of the Hehuan Sect?"

Ye Shu instinctively guessed her identity.

It was said that the Hehuan Sect's leader specialized in the art of controlling men, with eight or nine different men every day, practicing the ultimate cultivation method of absorbing yang to supplement yin.

It seemed that the woman before him fit the identity of the Hehuan Sect.

And her status was high, with the number of men she controlled correlating with her status; she already had six male companions.

Her identity was either a direct disciple or a respected elder.

At this moment, Luo Jiu Yan muttered, "A little vixen from the seductive fox clan."

Ye Shu caught a hint of meaning in her words.

It was said that among the master's junior sisters, one was the leader of the Hehuan Sect.

A little vixen indicated that she was a direct disciple of the Hehuan Sect's leader.

But these details weren't important; it was better to hurry inside and not waste time on these people.

Just as Ye Shu was about to turn and leave,

a surprised voice came from behind.

"Brother! Please wait!"

Looking back, it was the female disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

She stared at Ye Shu's face without blinking, like a wolf spotting a tender little lamb. She pushed off the ground, stepping on the two men beneath her feet, who howled in pain but wore expressions of bliss.

She flew to Ye Shu, not hiding her affection: "Brother, would you like to play in the water with me? I promise you'll be satisfied!"

"Audacious!"

Before Ye Shu could react,

Luo Jiu Yan beside him roared, her chilling aura beginning to spread.

Ye Shu felt as if his entire body had turned cold, as if ten thousand icy needles were piercing his bones.

"Master, calm down."

He quickly whispered to Luo Jiu Yan: "We're here to enjoy ourselves, not to destroy the city."

Hearing this, Luo Jiu Yan's expression changed, and she felt somewhat better, withdrawing her aura completely, but still coldly staring at the Hehuan Sect disciple who was now frightened and confused.

Thinking to herself, how foolish you are, do you know who you're trying to steal a man from?

Even if your sect leader were here, let her try to take him!

Ye Shu gave her a look that said "let me handle this," then turned to face the Hehuan Sect disciple.

"This is just a small reminder for you; next time, you might not be so lucky."

He was telling the truth.

This wandering woman had no idea who she was dealing with.

This was the infamous Nine Nether Demoness Luo Jiu Yan!

Even overturning Luoyang City and destroying it would be justified.

If it weren't for the fact that they were here to enjoy the festival and cultivate their sentiments, her soul would have been shattered to pieces.

So, she was really lucky.

However, these words made her displeased.

"Who knows where this tigress came from, daring to be so fierce with me. If I mentioned my master's name, wouldn't she kneel and kowtow to me in apology?" she thought to herself.

Zhang Hong Yan had never suffered such grievances within the sect, let alone in this mundane city, being inexplicably threatened by a pair of strangers.

She couldn't stand this; regardless of her status as the sect leader's direct disciple, cherished by the sect leader, even as a Hehuan Sect disciple, she could scare off a lot of riffraff.

If she really revealed her identity, wouldn't this pair kneel and lick her toes, begging for mercy?

Zhang Hong Yan couldn't help but think this, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the two had already gone deep inside.

She was instantly furious: "Chase them! Today, I must have that man!"

She was already infatuated with Ye Shu's appearance and was determined not to let it go easily.

And inside.

Bang!

Fireworks bloomed!

Colorful fireworks filled the sky, painting a splendid scene, making people linger in that beautiful moment.

And Ye Shu, beside her, noticed Luo Jiu Yan slightly lifting her head, gazing at the sky.

He smiled: "Master, let's go, let's buy some fireworks to set off."

Luo Jiu Yan snorted coldly: "Master casting a spell would be much more beautiful than this, Master doesn't like such vulgar things."

Ye Shu scratched his head and smiled: "This is your disciple's idea, just wanting to trouble Master a bit, please consider your disciple's face."

"What a silly disciple." She spoke in a tone that suggested she couldn't help but indulge him and eagerly walked towards the fireworks stall.
