However, they had to leave the city before nightfall – the rebel army's artillery had already reached the city gates, if they did not leave now, the city would fall.

Luo Si was not afraid of them, but he could not. She was just a human, even with the protection of the god of death, his body was still flesh and blood, and could not withstand the fire.

Therefore, Luo Si and Tang Xiaotang immediately left the villa. Actually, Tang Xiaotang was still a little reluctant. The environment here was really not bad, and there were even those books … She didn't even finish reading it …

Luo Si laid down a layer of Barrier, making the whole villa look as if it had been abandoned for a long time. Everything inside was concealed by the Barrier, and no one else could see it.

Looking at the reluctant Tang Xiaotang, he consoled, "Don't worry, we'll still be able to return after they leave."

Tang Xiaotang nodded, looked at the countless points on the map and followed him into the darkness.

As soon as they left, a group of white robed men surrounded the villa.

The man in white was dressed in a uniform attire with mysterious patterns painted on his robes. They surrounded the villa in silence, but they did not move a step. There was an aura of disgust and fear, and they could not approach it.

The crowd slowly parted and a woman in white walked over. Her face was young and beautiful, but her eyes were dark and profound. A sinister and evil aura pervaded the air around her, causing the white-clothed people beside her to involuntarily tremble in submission.

They respectfully bowed down and allowed the woman to step on their bodies as they walked, then they stood in front of the mansion, one step at a time.

Her slender and perfect finger pointed at the front of the villa as a blue screen appeared out of thin air, preventing her from approaching.

The woman's finger created ripples on the screen, but was unable to penetrate it. With a deep smile on her face, she pressed her finger against the screen.

The undulations from the light screen became more intense, spreading to half of the villa, but never letting her fingers pass through it.

The woman's finger emitted a layer of dark red light. The red light and the blue light clashed, and waves of power rippled out. The surrounding white clothed people lowered their heads, being intimidated by the power.

The red light was not as bright as the blue light, and it weakened and disappeared. The woman's fingers suffered a backlash, slowly shedding her fair skin and revealing her white bones. It was as if she didn't care at all, and her face gradually revealed a crazed expression.

She murmured softly, as if she was in love.

"Luo Si... "Long time no see …"

With Luo Si leading the way, they quickly left the center of the flames of war. Tang Xiaotang and Luo Si advanced forward, and in order to not attract attention, Tang Xiaotang covered her entire face, and wore a thick black cloak similar to Luo Si's.

She would never speak, it was always Luo Si who spoke, but no one could see Luo Si, so they only thought she was a very old, unaccompanied old woman, and never expected her to actually be a young lady in her prime.

After a night's journey, they arrived at a small town by daybreak.

The rebel army ignored this place because it was too small. However, there were still not many people in the city. Most of the shops were closed, and only a few were left open for business.

At the entrance of a closed supermarket sat refugees from all over the place, men and women, children and old people. Tang Xiaotang's strange dressing did not attract their attention, some ate, while the rest did not, as they greedily watched the others eat. There were even some who sat in the corner with lifeless eyes, staring blankly at the sky.

Tang Xiaotang only took a glance before shifting her gaze. Although she had seen this kind of scene many times, she was still unwilling to look — When would humans' sin due to their greed end?

The sky was dark and it was drizzling on the road. Just as Tang Xiaotang was thinking about whether or not she should find a place to rest, she heard Luo Si say, "There's an inn in front of us."

She took a few steps forward and saw the small hotel – no, calling it a hotel was more accurate to say that it was a simple house. A few words were scrawled on the door to indicate that it was the place to stay.

There was no one to pick at, Tang Xiaotang was not picky either, she walked in, the shabby first floor had a simple table set up, behind, a grizzled hair Old Man was seated, with his hands holding onto a small dirty book.

The corner of Tang Xiaotang's eyes twitched, if she did not read wrongly, that title … It was obviously a small yellow book!

Hearing someone walk in, the Old Man lazily said without raising his head: "I don't have any money here."

Tang Xiaotang walked forward, and reached out her hand to tap on the table.

"Duk Duk."

The sound of wood being struck finally made Old Man raise his head impatiently. "I already said there's no money! Knock on what! "Hurry up and f * ck off …" When he raised his head, he saw Tang Xiaotang standing in front of him. Seeing her dressed in a black robe with her entire body wrapped tightly, he immediately recognized that she had an extraordinary background.

He hurriedly swallowed the rest of his sentence, put away the small yellow book and revealed a flattering smile. "Do you want to stay here?"

"Get a room."

A hoarse voice came from under the cloak. The thick cloak cast a dark shadow over his face. He could not see the other party's eyes, and could only judge his age and gender by his voice.

"This... You know that … "In this world, things are not so peaceful. This …" Old Man laughed and rubbed his hands, "Let's do this..."

Seeing Old Man's eyes that were wandering around showing a face of a thief and his yellow buckteeth was swaying in front of her eyes, Tang Xiaotang was extremely disgusted. She did not wait for him to finish speaking and quickly placed a stack of money on the table, successfully stopping him from talking.

Before he could finish, the person in front of him waved his hand, causing a stack of bills to fall onto the wooden table. His eyeballs dropped to the floor, unable to be pulled out.

"Is that enough?"

The person in front of him still had a dry voice, but to Old Man, it sounded like a sound from heaven: "Enough! Of course it was enough! Hehehe … "Please come upstairs!"

"Lead the way."

Tang Xiaotang retracted her hand and followed the fart Old Man. She was not wrong about the cunning look on Old Man's face just now, it seemed like there would be a good show tonight.

Although she said that she was going to lead the way, there were actually only two rooms upstairs. One of them was locked in what should be the Old Man's own room, while the other was opened by him using a key, and then the key was given to Tang Xiaotang. "This is your room, you can look for me if you need anything."

Tang Xiaotang was too lazy to poke holes in his disguise. With Luo Si following right and left, she was not too worried, but last night, they had rushed through the night and her body was already exhausted. Now, she couldn't even open her eyes anymore, she only wanted to have a good night's sleep.

After carefully inspecting the room, Tang Xiaotang was still quite satisfied with it. The environment definitely could not be compared to Luo Si's villa, but it was still quite rare in this kind of chaotic world. It was very clean, there was only a single bed in the room with brand-new sheets on the bed, and all the blankets were new as well.

The damp walls were rolled up layer by layer, the room was a little damp, but there was no musty smell, which made Tang Xiaotang even more satisfied.

Although there were no windows and the room was extremely small, she did not mind. She sat on the bed and placed the key beside the pillow, then said to Old Man: "You can go now."

Old Man walked out with his back bent, and even closed the door considerately for her. Tang Xiaotang walked over to lock the door, and saw Luo Si floating in front of the bed.
