Chapter 309: "It's you——"...

Although his voice was soft, it seemed to carry some kind of magic that imprisoned Wen Yu in place and made her unable to move.

In the dark, when you can't see anything, your senses become extremely sensitive.

Wen Yu could feel the tip of Taihao's nose brushing against her earlobe. The tingling sensation in the whispers paralyzed her, making her originally calm breathing disordered.

The hot air swept across her neck, and Taihao moved closer and closer.

"Liuyun--" Wen Yu suddenly summoned the Liuyun fan and rushed back to kill.

The person behind him dodged suddenly, and his jaw just missed the edge of Liu Yun's fan, and he was almost injured.

In a flash, Yu Chang also realized that something was wrong, and flew over with Wen Yu back to back to defend the surroundings.

The man bent down gracefully and spun around, then stood still. When he turned up his sleeves, a cold white flame emanated from his palms, instantly illuminating the entire cave and highlighting his cold and aloof face.

It is indeed no different from Taihao.

"Tsk—" He seemed very dissatisfied, shaking his clothes in disgust, and then used the flame light to carefully examine his non-existent wound, "How could you hit him so hard?"

Wen Yu raised his hand to take Liu Yun, but held it horizontally in front of him, looking coldly at the uninvited guest across from him through the fan bones.

"You can be so cruel?" Seeing that she didn't respond, he wiped his jaw with the hand he had been examining the wound, looking thoughtful. "It seems the progress is much slower than I expected..."

Seeing him directing and acting all by himself, Yu Chang looked puzzled, "Is he crazy?"

Maybe it was because we fought so fiercely at the foot of the mountain just now that he lost his mind.

"Probably." The flame shone on Liuyun's fan bones, which in turn brought a cold light to Wenyu's eyes, but she remained calm.

"What are you mumbling about?" He stopped his unnecessary movements and simply waved, "Wenyu, come here—"

"Let Liuyun come and pay his respects on my behalf." Wen Yu's eyes turned, and she raised her sleeves as he looked expectant. "What do you say, Lord Fengdu?"

As soon as these words came out, the man's expression changed slightly, and he coughed a few times in a flustered manner, "There's no need to be so polite."

"Fengdu?" Yu Chang relaxed his guard a little in surprise.

Even Wen Yu put away the Liuyun fan and clapped his hands helplessly, "You heard it right."

It was her immediate superior in the Reincarnation Department, the Lord of Fengdu.

"When did you discover me?"

As expected, Fengdu's fingertips turned, and the cold flame in his palm exploded, and his original appearance was revealed behind the flashes of light.

With long eyebrows and affectionate eyes, he really has a romantic and dissolute demeanor.

Wen Yu closed her eyes, afraid that Fengdu Jun's dazzling brilliance would damage her eyes. "He never calls me Wen Yu."

Only Yu Chang would call her by her full name, while Tai Hao and Song Linsheng would only call her Xiaoyu or Wen Yujun.

What's more...how could Tai Hao be so frivolous and reckless?

Aside from Jiang Yang's somewhat unusual behavior on the day he was drunk, he was sober, restrained, calm and composed most of the time, even to the point of being puzzling.

How could he turn around and whisper in her ears again when he was just... with her?

Fengdu Jun didn't even do enough homework when he wanted to impersonate someone else.

"This only proves it's not Taihao." Fengdu stretched his neck until he heard his joints cracking, then stopped. "It doesn't prove it's me."

"I've been working as a black laborer in the underworld for three hundred years." Wen Yu's eyes were about to roll up his sleeves, but he could only smile apologetically, "How could you not know that 'Bone Painting' is Fengdu Jun's signature skill?"

People say it is easier to draw the skin than the bones, but this Fengdu God is best at depicting bone structure and mimicking the real thing. It is easy for him to pretend to be someone else.

Just like how he could imitate the subtle jasmine scent on Taihao just now, if he hadn't let out a flaw in his words, Wen Yu couldn't guarantee that he would be able to tell the real from the fake.

"Watch your words, Xiao Meng." Fengdu put his hands on his hips and began to stretch his muscles. "Did the Rebirth Inn not give you food or clothes?"

Looking at his tired appearance, it seemed that he hadn't rested for a long time. I don't know... what's going on.

You have to know that when Fengdu Jun was in the Netherworld Palace, he couldn't even light a lamp by himself. What was worth him running around without fear of wind and frost?

"Yes, yes, yes." Wen Yu was not afraid of him at all. After all, this was Gouwu Mountain, not the Netherworld Palace. "We eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and wear splendid clothes."

The yin and yang in her words were almost overflowing, and even Yu Chang, who was always gloomy, couldn't help laughing.

Everyone knows that the Wangsheng Inn is leaky on all sides and is extremely poor. Even a ghost messenger like Xie Bian, who is used to walking around in the underworld, would spit at the tea because it is too thick.

"If that's so good—" Fengdu supported his temples with one finger, beckoning Wenyu with a smile, "Come back with me and continue to be your Mengpo."

Wen Yu played with Liu Yun in his hand with a half-smile in his eyes, and finally pointed directly at the opposite side, "Fengdu Jun went through all the trouble to come all this way just to talk about this?"

"That's right..." Fengdu's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was making up a lie.

Liu Yun slipped away, and Wen Yuyi flew forward and asked in a low voice, "Fengdu Jun, what are you trying to do by impersonating him?"

Yu Chang didn't know what happened in the Netherworld Palace that day, but Fengdu Jun knew it clearly.

He knew very well that the relationship between him and Taihao was not that simple, yet he still pretended to be someone else to scare her.

"Eh? I mean well!" Fengdu raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Wen Yu to be so bold. "You, you better not bite Lu Dongbin!"

While he was talking, he wanted to fight back, but he suddenly changed his mind and immediately extinguished the flame in his palm.

Without the light, the underground cave suddenly became pitch black.

It is indeed convenient for hiding. Thinking of this, Wen Yu couldn't help but sneer and stopped helplessly.

She knew that Fengdu Jun had a strange temper and was a mischievous spirit, so it would not be easy to catch him.

If she had not been afraid of fire and had not practiced magic in this area, how could she be so controlled by others now?

Wen Yu followed the sound, put away the Liuyun fan, and punched the air in anger.

But as soon as she moved, someone grabbed her wrist and clasped their fingers together.

"Xiao Yu?" Tai Hao's voice sounded slightly puzzled, as if he didn't understand why she was angry.

But Wen Yu, who had been fooled before, obviously didn't fall for it. She quickly turned her wrist to urge Liu Yun, "You might be fooled once, but not twice."

Don't think that she will be confused just because you change the name this time.

Tai Hao loosened his grip slightly, leaving her enough room to move, so as not to hold her too tightly and make her uncomfortable, and then called out softly, "It's me."

"You..." Wen Yu grabbed Liu Yun, who was ready to attack, and held him tightly in his hand, fearing that he would hurt someone.

Somehow, her attitude suddenly softened.

There was clearly no other words that could prove his identity, but Wen Yu was willing to believe that the man holding her fingers was the real Tai Hao.

A faint ice-blue light suddenly lit up, illuminating half of his face, making it look soft, peaceful, and reassuring.

"How many times have you been at home?" Wen Yu's chest was buzzing like millions of butterflies fluttering their wings, making her restless.

Taihao was born and raised naturally, so naturally he has no other brothers or sisters.

But when he heard Wen Yu's question, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he answered naturally, "Second row, there is an older brother above."

Wen Yu's eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally confirming that the person in front of him was Tai Hao.

"Xiao Yu, are you okay?" Tai Hao reached out and touched Wen Yu's wrist. After confirming that her breath and pulse were normal, he was still worried.

Wen Yu held Tai Hao's hand back and motioned him to look forward.

"Very good, very good. I'm quite moved by what you've seen." Fengdu wiped away the non-existent tears with his fingertips and asked Yu Chang and Zang Ling, who were standing beside him, "What do you two think?"

The blade made of water and Fu Xuechunsha were both placed in front of him. Yu Chang and Zang Ling both gave their own answers.

Fengdu, who was attacked from both sides, was not at all panicked. Instead, he sat down, and the rocks behind him seemed to have eyes and formed a ready-made seat for him.

"Rude." He sneered with his thin lips, and then brushed the clothes on his knees, looking leisurely as if this was his underworld palace.

This was an expected look, and it was obvious that he had known that the person coming was Taihao, so he extinguished the fireworks as a joke on her.

Wen Yu secretly exerted strength on her hands, completely forgetting that she was still holding Tai Hao in her palms.

The latter's eyes moved, and he noticed Wen Yu's depression. When he raised his eyes again, he looked at Fengdu with a cold expression, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll do whatever you do." Fengdu folded his arms across his chest and leaned back, saying, "But speaking of which, Xiao Meng, that day in the Netherworld Palace, I saw you and someone shouting and fighting, even throwing... kicks?"

Thinking of what happened that day, Wen Yu's words of retaliation were stuck in her throat, and she could only glare at Fengdu with disapproval.

You are really bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

He glanced playfully back and forth between Wen Yu and Tai Hao, then asked in a surprised tone, "How come you're now together?"

Although things were quite tense outside just now, Wen Yu seemed to have forgotten everything at this moment. She grabbed Tai Hao's hand and pulled him to the other side, "Let's go."

Facing Fengdu's questioning, she didn't want to say a word.

Let’s not talk about the intricacies involved for now. After all, it is just a matter between her and Taihao and has nothing to do with others.

"Okay." Tai Hao was stunned for a moment at first, and then he lowered his eyes and followed Wen Yu with a smile on his face, his gaze fixed on the two people's clasped hands.

He has to...thank Fengdu.

Seeing Wen Yu leaving, Yu Chang and Zang Ling looked at each other, put away their magic weapons and followed him, leaving Fengdu alone.

This time he could no longer sit still and immediately jumped up, "Hey! Xiao Meng! Xiao Meng——"

If it weren't for the barrier of Gouwu Mountain that was inaccessible, would he have followed all the way?

Since we have been following you all the way, we can’t lose you now!

"Xiao Meng! Calm down--" Fengdu shouted while chasing him.

…

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wen Yu stopped when he saw that there was nothing strange about the ground veins in front of him.

Every inch of land under her feet is a ghost town.

Thinking of Fengdu's words, Wen Yu always felt that something flashed through her mind.

According to him, the Earth Mother's residence and the spiritual vein they were looking for were already before their eyes, but...

Wen Yu raised his sleeve and stroked the stone wall, but did not notice any trace of spiritual energy overflowing.

There are frequent strange movements in the central land, and the overflow of spiritual energy is definitely true. However, there are movements at the foot of Gouwu Mountain, but there is no reaction at the center of the earth. It is really strange.

"It's you—"
