<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Seeing that Li Fenglan was silent, Mo Shenyu laughed again: “After all, I have never seen anyone who can compare with the appearance of his Shi Zhi, and it is the same here.”
Mo Shenyu traveled the world. The way he traveled compared to the famous music cultivator Ning Qingmo was different. Mo Shenyu had always been provocative, he was a frequent visitor to this kind of “Gongzi shop”.
When he was in Tianmian Palace, he still restrained himself a bit, but when he left Tianmian Palace, Mo Shenyu casually spoke with a hint of flirtatious meaning.
And what he said to Li Fenglan was even more absurd, unlike how elders speak.
Although Li Fenglan looked easy-going and had no temper, in fact he was once the number one person in the cultivation world, and he almost became the head of Tianmian Palace.
Even Li Fenglan’s seventeen years of education in the mortal world would make him dislike this kind of “teasing”.
Li Fenglan pursed his lips, and suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes, which were often misty, also instantly cooled down.
At this moment, Li Fenglan was somewhat similar to his master Ling Buyan.
Seeing the expression of his Shi Zhi, Mo Shenyu just realized that he had said something wrong just now…
Mo Shenyu paused for a long time, and said for the first time: “Sorry, Fenglan. Shi Shu didn’t say that on purpose, I’m used to staying in this kind of place, and I don’t have a gatekeeper for my mouth.”
After that, he stretched out his hand a little unnaturally to touch his nose.
At this moment, Mo Shenyu’s tone and mood were completely different from when he casually flirted just now.
Li Fenglan was angry, and seeing the other party’s angry appearance, Mo Shenyu, who had always played games in life, felt for the first time that he seemed to have done something wrong.
Li Fenglan was silent for a long time, then finally said: “…Shi Shu, please don’t make such jokes anymore.”
“Naturally,” Mo Shenyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, poured another cup of tea for Li Fenglan, and changed the subject, “What else would Shi Zhi want to eat, I’ll get you some more?”
Li Fenglan didn’t say anything, he shook his head silently.
The air pressure on the dining table became very low for a while.
But this was only between Li Fenglan and Mo Shenyu.
The people around were still chatting noisily, and Li Fenglan also learned from their chats that the city he was in was Lügu City, the largest city in “Lugu Prefecture” among the twelve prefectures in the mortal world.
This was Li Fenglan’s first visit to Lugu City in two lifetimes.
When he was drinking tea and thinking about the relevant information of the city, suddenly a young man in black clothes approached Li Fenglan.
The boy was not here earlier, so he didn’t notice the weird atmosphere between Li Fenglan and Mo Shenyu at all.
The young man brought the wine to Li Fenglan, and said with a smile: “Young man, don’t you want a drink? How can anyone come to us and not drink?”
Li Fenglan had experience in dealing with fierce beasts, and had experience in dealing with being chased by cultivators, killing experience.
But there was no experience in dealing with… such a situation.
Li Fenglan, who was sitting here with a serious face just now, suddenly became embarrassed again.
He waved his hand and said, “No… I don’t know how to drink.”
“You can learn it.” After saying that, the boy handed over the wine glass.
Just when Li Fenglan was about to take the wine glass and put it down again, an accident happened suddenly.
A streak of gold flashed before his eyes, before Li Fenglan could touch the wine glass, it was swept away by a thin golden whip, and thrown aside mercilessly.
At the same time, Li Fenglan heard the sound of a long whip piercing through the air.
Why did he feel that this sound was a little familiar?
The man’s whipping technique was very good just now, he snatched the wine glass from the man’s hand. Unexpectedly he didn’t touch the holder the entire time.
——The most important thing was that the person who wielded the whip was standing on the second floor of this restaurant!
The long whip swept across the entire restaurant, and the place became quiet in an instant.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the stairwell on the second floor.
The same went for Li Fenglan and Mo Shenyu.
Leaving aside Mo Shenyu’s reaction when he saw the white-haired man, Li Fenglan almost uttered a dirty word anyway.
What happened!
Another homosexual that he knows is also here!
Does Duan Qianli still have this hobby?
Before Li Fenglan adjusted his expression, the white-haired man in a light gold robe just jumped down from the second floor of the restaurant and appeared beside Li Fenglan.
Duan Qianli was a good leader of the demon clan, yet he didn’t care about the big and small flower demons under him and was wandering around in the human world again?
Seeing the man walking towards him with a serious face, Li Fenglan felt speechless.
Although he had already started complaining in his heart, thinking that “Li Fenglan” probably shouldn’t know the white-haired man in front of him now, he finally endured it.
“Who are you?” Li Fenglan asked with a frown pretending not to know.
“Who am I?” Duan Qianli said angrily, “Who am I —” Don’t you know me?
Oh, you really don’t seem to know.
Before Duan Qianli finished speaking, he choked on himself.
He coughed a few times, and put away the golden thirteen-section whip.
And Mo Shenyu, who was sitting on the side, also took a sip of hot tea, and his eyes fell on Duan Qianli.
——The man in front of him had white hair, he didn’t look like a normal person, but he didn’t have any special aura of an alien race.
He just saw Duan Qianli standing there with arms folded, pretending to be calm and said: “You…you have no shame in coming to this kind of place with this face.”
He was used to fighting with Duan Qianli for many years, otherwise why would he want to beat him up when he saw the face of the other party…
Li Fenglan also stood up, sneered and said to Duan Qianli: “What about you? I saw you just now, you came down from the second floor, so you must have been here, playing… for a long time, right?”
“You’re slandering me!” Duan Qianli slapped the whip on the table and said, “I have a Madam. I defend my body like a temple for him!”
“Madam…”
Thinking of the stupid things Duan Qianli said last time, Li Fenglan was sure that the “Madam” Duan Qianli was talking about was him.
Ha ha.
“Oh…” Li Fenglan gave him a meaningful look, sat down slowly and said, “I believe it.”
Duan Qianli saw that his words just now were not intimidating at all, so he turned his gaze to the person sitting opposite Li Fenglan. Mo Shenyu, who was happily watching the scene, looked at him.
“Then what about this person, who is this person?” Duan Qianli pointed at Mo Shenyu and asked.
Li Fenglan didn’t want to care about Duan Qianli at all, this Demon Clan was really arrogant and had a different way of thinking from humans.
Seeing Li Fenglan drinking tea by himself, he looked like he didn’t want to pay attention to Duan Qianli. Mo Shenyu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He smiled and said to Duan Qianli, “I am his Shi Shu. We are here to do business. What’s wrong?”
Just when Duan Qianli was about to refute and question how something serious could happen here, Li Fenglan finally said: “My lord, we have never met before. Isn’t it impolite for you to interfere with my discussion with my Shi Shu?”
Hearing Li Fenglan’s words, Duan Qianli, who had been in a daze just now, realized later that he had nothing to do with Li Fenglan. And… Li Fenglan was just a member of Fuyue’s clan, what happened to him, or what he did, had nothing to do with him.
He was really too excited just now.
The Demon Lord gritted his teeth, and just as he was about to leave, another light golden figure appeared.
It was a boy with a baby face. He was not too tall and had a thin body. At first glance, he looked like a little girl.
No… the second glance was even more like a little girl.
It took Li Fenglan only a few breaths to recognize that this boy who suddenly appeared was Duan Qianli’s younger sister Duan Wannian!
The two brothers and sisters appeared in the Gongzi shop at the same time, what exactly are they doing?
“Huh?” Duan Wannian saw her brother here, and followed him.
She just looked casually, but didn’t expect to see it the next moment, a person who should have died a thousand years ago, actually appearing in front of her eyes…
“You…you are?” Duan Wannian couldn’t help but step back. After a few steps, she pointed at Li Fenglan and uttered words that shocked him immensely.
“The patriarch’s wife?”
——The patriarch’s wife?
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Duan Qianli covered his sister’s mouth, “He is not the wife of the patriarch, at most… a member of the patriarch’s wife’s clan.”
Duan Wannian, who was forced to cover her mouth by Duan Qianli, finally pulled his hand down. She took a deep breath and said, “I had said that, hasn’t the patriarch’s wife been dead for more than 1,200 years?”
“More than 1,200 years…” This time, the person who repeated this sentence softly was Mo Shenyu, who seemed to be particularly sensitive to this number.
Duan Wannian consciously said something wrong, and immediately shut his mouth.
The restaurant, which was noisy just now, suddenly became unreasonably quiet, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
And at this time, the owner of this shop finally appeared out of nowhere.
The man consoled the four people here one by one, and the food Mo Shenyu ordered before finally arrived on the table.
Seeing that Duan Qianli seemed to be busy with something, he took one last look at Li Fenglan, and walked out of the restaurant with Duan Wannian.
After going out, Duan Wannian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She grabbed Duan Qianli’s arm and said in disbelief, “Brother, why does that man look so much like Li Fuyue!”
Duan Qianli who usually had a lot to say, when he heard what his sister asked, actually disrupted his usual routine and didn’t say anything.
Duan Wannian hadn’t noticed her brother’s abnormality yet. When she walked to the back alley, a dark red light flashed, and the petite boy just now turned into a girl in a golden pink skirt in an instant.
“…If I hadn’t witnessed the activation of the Fushen Array and Li Fuyue dying under the formation, I might have really thought that Li Fuyue was not dead just now.”
Hearing this, Duan Qianli suddenly stopped and glanced at his sister.
“Okay, okay, I won’t mention it…” Sensing the low pressure on Duan Qianli’s body, Duan Wannian closed her mouth again.
And at this time, the demon clan hiding in the surrounding alleys also showed their faces one after another.
These Demon Clan members were the group of people who took Duan Qianli away before.
“Where are the beasts?” Duan Qianli asked the lead follower as he walked forward.
Hearing this, the man in black standing at the front immediately said, “They’ll be outside the city in a few hours.”
“Okay,” Duan Qianli took a rare and serious look at Duan Wannian, and then said softly, “Then let’s wait outside the city first.”
“En!” Duan Wannian who realized she had said something wrong after the fact, quickly pretended to be obedient and agreed.
Seeing that Duan Qianli seemed to think of Li Fuyue because of that young man just now and didn’t speak for a long time, his behavior becoming extremely abnormal, Duan Wannian, who had always been very dissatisfied with the other party, bit her lip and actually admitted her mistake to his brother.
But if Li Fenglan was here and heard the conversation between the two of them, he would get two important points from it.
——Actually, Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian came here because of the tide of fierce beasts. And just like Mo Shenyu, the two of them went to the city first when they saw that the beast hadn’t arrived yet, intending to rest for a while.
It was at this time… Duan Wannian saw that restaurant and insisted on going in to join in the fun.
This time, Duan Qianli was really wronged.
At this time, all the disciples of Tianmian Palace in the Mortal Realm have basically arrived at their destination. In Tianmian Palace, the atmosphere became tense.
Cheng Huang, who was locked up in the main hall by Ling Buyan before, was still sleeping peacefully.
But suddenly, its originally closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and the long horns on its back slowly grew.
Although Cheng Huang was still the same size, its body and appearance were becoming more and more like an adult beast… It was originally round and cute, but it’s figure was gradually approaching the word “elegant”.
…
When Li Fenglan and Mo Shenyu arrived in the valley outside Lugu City, the sky had already darkened.
The two stood in mid-air and looked down together. It was also at this time that Li Fenglan knew that the valley outside Lugu City was the intersection of two huge valleys, and the terrain was very dangerous.
Seeing this, Li Fenglan looked more serious.
However, the opposite of him – although the situation was already very tense, Mo Shenyu still had that unserious appearance. Standing on the flying sword, he fanned the fan lightly while looking down casually.
He didn’t know if it was because the black lights were used as light, but he couldn’t see clearly, but Li Fenglan actually felt… Mo Shenyu seemed to be watching a play right now? As if it had nothing to do with him.
He waved his folding fan, pointed to one of the dark valleys and said, “The valley over there is connected to Duozhi Mountain. Therefore, most of the beasts coming from that direction are related to the Demon Realm.” “
… Demon Realm? So that’s how it is.” Hearing these two words, Li Fenglan finally understood why Duan Qianli and the others came here.
The tide of ferocious beasts was not just aimed at the human world.
The impact on the demon world was even greater.
According to Li Fenglan’s knowledge, Duan Qianli became the patriarch of the Demon Clan quickly and it was precisely because his father, the previous patriarch of the Demon Clan, was seriously injured in the tide of ferocious beasts and had been in a coma for thousands of years.
Not only that, Duan Qianli came to the human world in his last life, mostly because of the tide of fierce beasts.
“Yo,” just as he was talking, Mo Shenyu suddenly pointed down with his fan, “Aren’t these the same people we saw in Lugu City today?”
The white-haired Duan Qianli was very conspicuous at night. Li Fenglan looked in the direction pointed by the other party, saw Duan Qianli and his entourage with just one glance, and at the same time felt a monster aura.
“So it’s the Demon Clan.” Mo Shenyu said with a half-smile, “they’re also here for the beasts.”
“…It’s them.” After Li Fenglan saw Duan Qianli, he glanced at Mo Shenyu a little nervously. Seeing that he didn’t respond, Li Fenglan felt relieved.
Duan Qianli, brother and sister, were both descendants of demon gods, they can perfectly hide their aura but their entourage was full of evil spirit.
The relationship between the cultivation world and the demon world itself was not very good, after Duan Qianli and Lin Chaochen had such a quarrel last time, it suddenly became incompatible.
Fortunately, the person who came to Lugu City with him this time was Mo Shenyu, he had no sense of honor in the sect, and even if he saw the Demon Clan, he didn’t have the slightest intention of fighting with them.
Li Fenglan saw them, but in a blink of an eye, Duan Qianli and his party disappeared in front of his eyes, they were indeed heading towards Duozhi Mountain.
And Li Fenglan and Mo Shenyu also slowly fell into the valley with their swords.
It was full of gravel, and it was constantly rolling. It was difficult for ordinary people to stand still.
According to previous observations, there were not many ferocious beasts here, so Tianmian Palace only sent Li Fenglan and Mo Shenyu to this valley. But now the gloomy wind was howling in the valley, it was very infiltrating. Standing in the canyon, Li Fenglan couldn’t help becoming nervous.
But Mo Shenyu didn’t seem to feel anything at all.
While Li Fenglan was waiting for the fierce beast, he saw the person beside him mysteriously shaking the paper fan, looking at himself and saying, “The leader with the white-hair from the demon clan seems to know you?”
In the world and in Tianmian Palace, it was a very serious matter for cultivators to have private connections with the Demon Clan.
Li Fenglan originally thought that Mo Shenyu was not interested in the Demon Clan, but he didn’t expect to hear this sentence just as soon as he relaxed.
“You saw it wrong, I should just…be similar to someone he knew.” Li Fenglan immediately became nervous.
But fortunately, the next second Mo Shenyu said: “Don’t worry, Shi Shu is not the kind of person who likes to tell on others. In my eyes, there is no difference between the Demon Clan and the human race. I have no prejudice against the Demon Clan.”
However, after listening, Li Fenglan gave an unexpected answer to his words.
He turned around and glanced at Mo Shenyu, then quietly said: “No, I have prejudices against the Demon Clan.”
To be precise, he had prejudice against their boss.
Li Fenglan obviously said this very seriously, but when he heard him say that, Mo Shenyu, who was standing aside, laughed again.
The valley outside Lugu City was extremely empty, except for the two of them, there was only the sound of the wind. It was obviously a very tense moment, but Mo Shenyu laughed without any psychological burden.
Mo Shenyu found that his Shi Zhi was getting more and more fun.
His voice was carried away by the wind and fell far away.
After a while, Mo Shenyu finally stopped. He patted Li Fenglan on the shoulder and said, “I only recently discovered that my Shi Zhi is really an interesting person. If I had known that you were so interesting earlier, I would have spent more time in Miguang Mountain.”
Li Fenglan: “…”
Although he now felt that Li Fenglan’s death in the original book was probably due to the tide of ferocious beasts, and had little to do with Mo Shenyu.
But seeing the other party like this, Li Fenglan silently took Mo Shenyu’s hand off his shoulder, and then walked a few steps to the side.
Seeing that his Shi Zhi didn’t want to talk to him, Mo Shenyu was still not annoyed, but instead cast him a more inquiring look.
As the night darkened, the temperature in the valley gradually dropped.
Cultivators who were protected by true qi would not feel cold—especially Li Fenglan, who spent most of his last life in snowy Meizhou.
As the temperature dropped, their brains gradually became clearer.
After a while, Li Fenglan’s consciousness finally sensed the arrival of the beast.
He slowly clenched the long sword in his hand, and said softly to Mo Shenyu who was standing aside: “The fierce beasts are coming soon.”
“Yes.” Hearing this, Mo Shenyu also closed the folding fan in his hand.
After a while, Mo Shenyu suddenly turned around and glanced at Li Fenglan, and analyzed: “This is the intersection of two valleys, the two of us, we can handle one side each, if there is an accident, we can help each other.”
This seemed to be the first time Li Fenglan heard Mo Shenyu utter so many serious words at once after he met him.
On the bright side, it seemed that there was no problem with their division into two groups. Even Mo Shenyu’s arrangement was for his own benefit – after all, the direction Mo Shenyu wanted to go by himself was also the place where Duan Qianli and his party disappeared.
If there was an accident, they can deal with it together.
But Li Fenglan inexplicably felt… Mo Shenyu seemed to be sending himself away.
The disciples of Tianmian Palace all knew this: the sect requires that when encountering fierce beasts outside, they must not be separated from their companions.
What Mo Shenyu was doing now was completely contrary to the requirements of the sect.
Li Fenglan hesitated for a while and said “yes”, but secretly followed Mo Shenyu with a ray of spirit.
In the original book, his own death was what Li Fenglan cared most about in the past five years. At this critical moment, he certainly wouldn’t take it lightly…
After saying that, the two parted ways and went to the sides of the valley.
When he reached the entrance of the valley, Li Fenglan hesitated for a moment, but he finally stopped here and did not continue to move forward.
Li Fenglan stood there quietly with his eyes closed, feeling the movement around him.
This time, he was very careful, and even took out the Qingzhu, hiding his spiritual consciousness as much as possible.
Although Li Fenglan’s cultivation had not returned to the peak state of the past, his spiritual consciousness was incomparably powerful.
But in the blink of an eye, this area was already covered by Li Fenglan’s spiritual consciousness.
——He saw that Duan Qianli and the others hesitate for a moment, and continue to move forward against the canyon.
As for Mo Shenyu, he actually sat very leisurely on the boulder by the side of the valley, meditating.
“…What is he doing again?”
Mo Shenyu usually showed no interest in cultivation, so why was he meditating here again?
If it was said that Li Fenglan was a little wary of Mo Shenyu just because of the plot, now he really put his curiosity on the person in front of him.
After all, Mo Shenyu’s behavior at this time had already violated the instinct of ordinary cultivators when facing danger.
The ferocious beasts gradually gathered towards the valley.
It didn’t take long for Li Fenglan to discover that the valley he was in was indeed as the Sect had hoped in advance, with only sporadic beasts, and many of them were dealt with by Duan Qianli and the others.
After killing those ferocious beasts, Duan Qianli and the others didn’t stay here for too long, and then continued to go in the direction of the demon world of Duozhi Mountain. Their speed was very fast, and it didn’t take long before they were out of the range of Li Fenglan’s spiritual consciousness.
On the contrary, a wave of ferocious beasts larger than what he had seen before outside Xihou City was staged in the valley outside Lugu City in advance!
Mo Shenyu was his Shi Shu at any rate, and when he felt a large number of beasts coming towards him, Li Fenglan’s first reaction was to help them.
However, before he left, Li Fenglan saw an extremely strange scene with his spiritual consciousness.
He saw – a large group of ferocious beasts came to the valley where Mo Shenyu was, and then unexpectedly stopped under the boulder where he was meditating.
In the darkness, only the eyes of the ferocious beasts were emitting a strange light.
Before gathering here, those beasts were all in the most ordinary appearance and state that Li Fenglan had seen before. But after arriving here…they froze one by one.
If Li Fenglan remembered correctly, these beasts were actually in the same state as the beasts he saw when he fell into qi deviation in front of the full cultivation world that year!
“Mo Shengyu…what the h*ll is he doing?”
Li Fenglan didn’t notice that his neatly manicured nails had already penetrated deeply into the flesh due to nervousness.
