As time passed, the night sky became filled with more and more shooting stars.

Feeling unusually excited, Lu Miao took out her phone and captured a few shots of the night sky.

Just as she was about to put her phone away, she heard a faint rustling sound coming from the distant hillside, as if something was being dragged through the grass.

Amidst the rustling leaves carried by the night wind, she could also make out whispers and faint footsteps.

If it weren’t for her exceptional senses, she wouldn’t have noticed them at all. Lu Miao pocketed her phone and proceeded cautiously in the direction of the sound, lightening her steps.

The dense trees on the mountain obscured her view, but from a distance, she could vaguely make out a figure dragging a long, dark object while another figure stood nearby, brandishing something as if digging into the ground.

Were these two people killing someone and disposing of the body?

Lu Miao looked around her surroundings and then bent down to pick up two stones from the ground. Quietly circling behind the two figures, she swiftly hurled the stones toward them.

“Ah!” a pained cry echoed through the air.

Lu Miao grabbed a tree branch and, like lightning, rushed forward, swinging her hand to strike the person closest to her.

Her movements were incredibly fast, catching the person off guard. Before he could react to being hit, he was struck several more times, causing him to writhe in pain.

Lu Miao took a step forward, reaching out to grab his collar, preparing to toss him aside.

At the same time, the other person beside him also grabbed hold of him, exerting force to pull him behind.

Simultaneously, a dazzling beam from a flashlight illuminated the area.

“It’s you!”

A familiar voice rang out.

Lu Miao took a step back, using the light from the flashlight to observe the person in front of her.

A man stood there, holding a flashlight, appearing a few years older than Gu Shiyan. His features were impeccably refined, with black hair, black eyes, and an overall mature look.

Wearing a black sportswear outfit, he unexpectedly exuded a touch of youthfulness.

The contradictory air of maturity and youth blended harmoniously within him.

His tall figure shielded the person behind him completely.

The long, dark object on the ground turned out to be something used for setting up a tent.

A head with golden hair and blue eyes suddenly emerged from behind his shoulder.

It was the foreigner she had tricked at the pharmacy before.

Lu Miao was speechless. This was truly an incredible coincidence. In the dead of night, in the middle of nowhere, she could encounter him again!

He was dressed in a black Valention global limited edition sportswear, a seven-figure item.

Each set was custom-made.

To purchase this clothing, one would need to spend at least an eight-figure sum on the brand annually.

There was no way a serial killer would wear such easily identifiable clothing when committing a crime.

Moreover, these two individuals were most likely here for the Starfall Herb.

Lumiao couldn’t be bothered to interact further with them and turned to leave.

However, the man quickly rushed over and blocked her path.

“You can’t leave.”

“Aluo,” the man behind him frowned and called out.

Aluo gritted his teeth and said, “She’s the person who teamed up with the shop owner a few days ago to trick me into buying fake medicinal herbs. She’s a fraud, a bad person.”

“Tsk, you can eat anything, but you can’t just say anything. I can sue you for defamation. At that time, I wanted to buy Starfall Herb, but without a word, you snatched it from my hands. You even took my phone and prevented me from paying. All of this can be confirmed through the store’s surveillance footage. If we’re settling accounts, it should be you who took my things,” Lu Miao said, raising an eyebrow.

“It was clearly you and the shop owner conspiring to deceive me. Selling something worth one million RMB currency for one million Euros,” Aluo angrily reached out towards her, “Give me my money back.”

“You bought the item yourself, and you should pay for it yourself. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your lack of discernment. I’m not obligated to compensate for your mistakes,” Lu Miao replied directly.

Did he expect her to take out the money she had already put in her pocket? That was impossible.

Aluo wanted to argue further, but the man in the black sportswear beside him reached out and stopped him.

“What she said is right. It’s your lack of discernment, and that money can be considered as tuition fees.”

The man ruffled Aluo’s hair, then turned to look at Lu Miao. “You can go now.” Lu Miao turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain.

The number of shooting stars above increased, but strangely enough, when she had come from the Octagonal Pavilion earlier, it had only taken a few minutes and covered a distance of about a kilometer at most.

At this moment, the path under her feet seemed endless, no matter which direction she walked in, she would eventually return to the same spot.

She took out her phone and checked the time. Unknowingly, it was already half past one in the morning.

In other words, without realizing it, she had been circling around here for more than ten minutes, completely unaware.

Two sets of footsteps approached from behind. Lu Miao didn’t need to look to know it was Aluo and the other man.

Seeing her, Aluo sneered and immediately pulled the other man to go in the opposite direction.

Lu Miao raised an eyebrow, stood still, and didn’t move.

The starry sky above was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and the surroundings became darker.

Aluo and the man walked back and forth three times, clearly trapped in the same place.

Lu Miao, on the other hand, remained calm. She casually found a tree and leaned against it, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes not far away.

The man furrowed his brows and was about to approach with his flashlight.

“Turn off the light, don’t move,” Lumiao said coldly.

The man immediately instinctively turned off his flashlight and held onto Aluo, standing still, not daring to move again.

He had a feeling that he should listen to Lu Miao at a time like this.

After a moment, a small figure emerged from behind the bushes. It looked like a child, wearing something that resembled a straw hat on its head.

The figure walked up to Lu Miao and reached out with a pale, small hand, tugging at her clothes.

In a sharp voice, it asked, “Do I look like a human to you?”

Aluo’s eyes widened in fear.

Lu Miao, however, remained calm and bent down, looking at the figure on the ground. She said directly, “Little thing, you have violated the law for turning into a spirit.”

This was called “tao feng.”

After animals reach a certain level of cultivation, they can stand upright and pretend to be human, asking questions to passersby.

“Do I look like a human to you?

If the person being asked answers in the affirmative, it means the tao feng is successful, and their power greatly increases, even evolving into a spirit.

The person who answers will lose decades of their life span. It trapped them here for the purpose of conducting Tao Feng ..
