Chapter 661 Do I know him?
Gu Duo's eyes were full of probing, and even carried a hint of coldness.
"Do you know where that underground palace is? Did you go and investigate it? What did you see inside? Where is that underground palace?"
After asking the question, Gu Duo shook his head again: "No, that underground palace is inside the palace."
Then, she stared intently at Ye Qing'an and asked, "Tell me, where is the entrance to that underground palace?"
She looked as if she were ready to investigate the underground palace overnight if she revealed its location.
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "I did not go to that so-called underground palace."
“No, impossible.” Gu Duo almost immediately rejected Ye Qing’an’s words: “I just said that the smell on you is exactly the same as the smell in that underground palace.”
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "I'm not lying to you, I really didn't go to the underground palace, as for the smell on me..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and sniffed again, but still couldn't smell anything: "This scent on me comes from the illusion of a Night Demon ruler."
"Night Phantom's Illusion?" Gu Duo frowned. "Night Phantom?"
“Yes, it’s the Night Demon’s illusion.” Ye Qing’an pursed her lips slightly. “I accidentally fell into the Night Demon’s illusion with Yi Moxu. The Night Demon is the leader of the Night Demon clan. He can transform into the appearance of an ordinary person, or even into black smoke. Moreover, he can use his form after transforming into black smoke to attach himself to various places.”
"Therefore, many places in that illusion were pitch black."
"The bloody, smoke-like smell you mentioned must be from when I fought him before."
Gu Duo looked at Ye Qing'an suspiciously, his eyes filled with doubt: "Night Enchantress? Night Enchantress's illusion?"
"But how could you have escaped so easily from the Nightshade's illusion? And you said that the illusion was the illusion of the Nightshade's ruler, which is naturally more difficult to deal with than ordinary illusions. So how did you get out?"
Ye Qing'an didn't care about Gu Duo's aggressive questioning: "Speaking of this, I have quite a connection with the Night Enchantress's illusion. In fact, this is the third time I have fallen into the Night Enchantress's illusion, and it is also the third time that I have escaped from the Night Enchantress's illusion unscathed."
“I have figured out a pattern: if you fall into the Night Demon’s illusion, the Night Demon who wove the illusion must stay in the illusion for it to function properly.”
"All we need to do is find the Night Demon who weaves the illusion within the illusion and eliminate him, then we can leave the illusion."
"However, I was a bit careless in today's illusion. I didn't expect that a Night Demon could transform into smoke, so he escaped. But he didn't get away with it either and was injured."
Gu Duo pursed his lips, his eyes still filled with doubt.
"A night phantom that can transform into black smoke? How can that be so mysterious?"
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Actually, you know that Night Demon too?"
"Me?" Gu Duo looked bewildered. "Do I know Ye Mei?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "It's Liu Enze."
“Liu Enze?” Gu Duo scoffed. “Your story is getting more and more fantastical. Liu Enze is clearly a human, how could he be a Night Demon?”
Ye Qing'an didn't argue, but just smiled and said, "When a person and a person unite, a person is born. When two night demons unite, a night demon is born. So, General Gu, what do you think will be born when a night demon unites with a person?"
"Night Phantom? With a human? Union?"
Gu Duo's face showed undisguised bewilderment, and he remained silent for a long time.
Ye Qing'an didn't urge him, but turned her gaze to a rabbit not far away, watching it gnaw the radish greens clean.
"Weren't you resting? Why are you here chatting with General Gu?"
Suddenly, Yi Moxu's voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
Ye Qing'an turned her head and saw Yi Moxu walking over from the courtyard gate: "Hmm?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "I couldn't sleep and was thinking about some things, so I came to talk to General Gu."
Yi Moxu chuckled and walked towards Ye Qing'an.
However, as it passed by Gu Duo, Gu Duo frowned again and took a light sniff.
Ye Qing'an saw Gu Duo's reaction and her lips curled up slightly. Yi Moxu and she fell into the illusion of the Night Enchantress together. She had that scent on her body, and Yi Moxu naturally had it on him as well.
"What did we talk about?"
Gu Duo squinted at Yi Moxu: "Where did you go before?"
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow in surprise, then smiled and replied, "Reporting to General Gu, I was previously trapped in a Night Demon's illusion. After emerging from that illusion, I went to take care of some matters. Upon learning that she had come here, I came to check on her."
Upon hearing Yi Moxu's words, Gu Duo chuckled again, his brows furrowed in annoyance.
"what……"
Ye Qing'an pretended not to notice the annoyance on Gu Duo's face and said directly, "Ah, I almost forgot, I came here to ask the general which branch of Xuanling arts you cultivate?"
“Wind element.” Yi Moxu, who was standing to the side, gave the answer: “I saw General Gu use it before. General Gu cultivates the wind element.”
"That's really nice."
"Okay?" Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Qing'an with some surprise.
Ye Qing'an nodded and smiled, "I thought of this when I was about to go to sleep. Now that we know Liu Enze can transform into smoke, wouldn't it be simpler to deal with him as smoke?"
"So I wondered, what can suppress smoke?"
"After thinking about it, the most direct explanation should be the wind. The wind can disperse the smoke, and if the terrain is a little more open, wouldn't it prevent the smoke from gathering together?"
"Or, after the wind disperses the smoke, I can stir it up and turn it into ice and snow. In that case, it will have nowhere to escape."
Yi Moxu was somewhat surprised. Seeing that Ye Qing'an spoke these words without any regard for Gu Duo, she knew that she had already told Gu Duo about this matter.
Gu Duo didn't react much upon hearing this, only glancing at the two of them: "I'm going to rest now, you two can do as you please."
With that, he stood up and walked into the house.
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an winked at Yi Moxu: "Let's go, let's go back too, we'll talk on the way."
As soon as the two left the courtyard, Ye Qing'an spoke directly: "Just now when I came here, Gu Duo suddenly said that I had a very strange smell on me."
"A strange taste?"
