Chapter 116 A flirtatious glance for a blind man
In the swaying bamboo shadows of the morning light, Luo Chuan's silver hair had turned black again. If it weren't for the different clothes, Hua Li would have almost thought that they hadn't entered the Burial God Abyss yet.
Even the book spread out on his lap was exactly the same.
Seeing Huali looking over, Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "Are you hungry?"
Huali then noticed that the table was filled with all sorts of dishes, which looked so appetizing!
Her eyes lit up. Oh well, the sky's already fallen, let's eat first.
Seeing the bright light flash in the eyes of the listless little girl, Luo Chuan smiled and picked up the round and large Spirit Mist Fruit to start peeling it.
Ao Bai was exasperated. "What kind of time is this to eat?!" It jumped onto another chair and meowed. "If the gold card can't be repaired, the host's card collection... um, what is this? It's a bit salty."
Huali casually broke off a chicken leg for it, saying, "I think it's alright, you should try this chicken, it's delicious."
Ao Bai took a bite, "Indeed... wait, is that the point! The point is, if we don't complete the card collection mission, we'll both die!"
Huali swallowed the chicken leg, then turned to Luo Chuan and asked, "Luo Chuan, when you were in Luoyun Mountain, did you sense any other auras similar to mine?"
Luo Chuan was currently carving the peeled spirit mist fruit into the shape of small rabbits and placing them on a plate. "The same aura as you?"
He pushed the plate toward the girl, saying, "Xiaohuali's aura is unique to me, but it belongs to someone else."
The man had tried to break into Luoyun Mountain, but he ignored him.
“That’s right!” Huali picked up a small rabbit fruit, bit off the rabbit’s head, and looked at Ao Bai. “She could have shown herself, but she chose to hide in the water mirror. There’s only one answer.”
Ao Bai glanced at Luo Chuan and then at his own unfortunate self, and suddenly understood what it meant to flirt with a blind man.
It didn't sleep all night but saw everything clearly.
The demon king carefully carried the blind man back, and except for changing his clothes along the way, he did not leave him for a moment.
Although there was a book on her lap, she hadn't turned a single page. Her heterochromatic eyes, fixed on Huali, were like a fox eyeing a chick, ready to snatch it back to its nest and devour it clean at any moment.
Ao Bai still gets chills when he thinks about it now.
The little chick, completely oblivious, accepted the soup offered by the Demon King with a clear conscience, gulped down a large bowl, and then declared, "She definitely doesn't have as many stars as I do now!"
Ao Bai asked in confusion, "So?"
"So! The sky hasn't completely fallen yet! We're still in the lead and have time to find the meteorite."
"Now that the empathy issue has been resolved, it's the perfect time to leave the Witch Clan."
Just as he was thinking of the Wu Clan, Wu Jin's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Demon King, Hua Li."
Hua Li looked over when she saw that Luo Chuan did not stop her. She saw Wu Jin being helped over by Fen Yu, and he was carrying a small wooden box.
This tribulation caused heavy losses to the Witch Clan. Not only was half of the Burial God Abyss destroyed, but even the elites, including three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, were severely weakened.
Fen Yu took the wooden box and placed it on the table, then glanced at the rosewood.
The girl nestled in the large bamboo chair, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster, holding half an almond shortbread in one hand and catching the falling icing with the other.
Her gentle and soft appearance was completely different from her resolute figure during the tribulation.
But no matter which way it is, it is so bright that you can't take your eyes off it.
Fen Yu moved forward instinctively, but before her toes even touched the ground, an icicle pierced her, instantly drawing blood from her cheek.
Luo Chuan brushed his long sleeves across the little girl's lips, reaching out to pluck the crumbs of pastry from her lips. "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
Huali, who was already chewing slowly, thought: "?"
The Demon King chuckled softly, then suddenly pressed his fingertips, still covered in crumbs of pastry, to his lips. Beneath his gilded mask, his heterochromatic eyes met Fen Yu's gaze.
Seeing Ao Bai everywhere, I gasped. Good heavens, his methods of vying for favor are truly remarkable!
The fingers hidden in the sleeve of the burning rain tightened slightly.
After looking at the girl with suspicion for a moment, he reached out and handed her a new pastry, his movements practiced and natural, completely unaware that he was trapped between the demon king's wide sleeves and the armrest of the bamboo chair.
That was the intense possessiveness of a fierce beast guarding its treasure, not allowing anyone to covet it even for a moment.
The old priest, who had taken in everything, slowly spoke, "We have fulfilled our promise to you."
Luo Chuan raised his hand, and an invisible wind lifted the wooden box on the table, revealing a tree branch inside.
"Fusang wood is a secret treasure of our Wu clan, formed from the essence of the ancient Golden Crow."
Huali stared at the palm-sized withered branch, and a lightbulb went off in her head: "The secret treasure of the winner of the Heavenly Marriage Festival?"
Wu Jin shook his head, "The secret treasure is the Nine Springs Bone Flute - Yellow Springs Guide."
With a flick of his wrist, a Qiankun bag shimmering with golden light appeared. "This contains the secret treasures and spiritual plants that my Wu clan has collected over many years. Now, I will present it to the Demon King along with the Fusang wood."
Luo Chuan waved his hand casually, and the Qiankun bag landed with a "plop" on Hua Li's hand, which was covered with pastry crumbs.
"Little Pear, now you can exchange it for spirit stones."
Huali was prepared for this and readily accepted with a nod, "We'll split it evenly. You get three, I get two, Zhaozhao gets two, and Aobai's Little Tower Chaos Beast gets one."
A smile flashed in Luo Chuan's eyes, "Little Pear is so good to me, giving me so much of it all?"
As he got closer, Huali noticed a small cut on Luo Chuan's lip, which was bleeding as he spoke. "Your injury hasn't healed yet?"
Wasn't it said that the body would recover after successfully overcoming the tribulation? The rest of the body looks fine...
Luo Chuan rested his chin on his hand and sighed lazily, "Yes, that shows just how much effort Xiao Huali put in back then..."
Hua Li quickly covered Luo Chuan's mouth, "Okay, quiet down, don't talk."
The light in Fen Yu's eyes went out completely.
The old priest looked at the grimacing girl and said, "Huali, there is a Wu Clan Xuanji Token in your Qiankun Bag. It's a gift for you."
Huali was slightly taken aback. "For me? Why?"
"The secrets of cause and effect are interconnected and cannot be explained, but one day you will surely understand. Once the Xuanji Decree is issued, all members of the Wu Clan will be at your command."
I only hope that even a mayfly can shake the heavens.
"I don't want it." Huali refused decisively.
Wu Jin was taken aback. "Wouldn't it be better to have the entire Wu clan at your disposal?"
"No, human lives are not pawns. What do I need so many people to listen to me for? I'm not planning to dominate the world."
The bamboo shadows outside the window swayed on the little girl's face, and the old priest heard her say, "You still don't realize where you went wrong. Which flower the spring breeze should blow on, which leaf the autumn rain should fall on, is not up to you or me to decide."
"Even a mayfly, which lives only a day, knows the vastness of the world. The witch clan can fight against fate, but they should not disregard the lives of others."
Hua Li had said all she needed to say. Since Luo Chuan had already made a certain agreement with this person, she naturally had no need to judge right or wrong.
"Speaking of which, I have another question I'd like to ask."
Do you know about meteorites?
Hua Liyuan was only trying it out, but to her surprise, Wu Jin immediately nodded, "Meteorite, I saw it in a secret realm seven hundred years ago."
Huali's eyes lit up. "Where?"
The old priest pointed towards the cultivation world outside the Ten Thousand Mountains, "The Secret Realm of Prelude Dreams."
"The Prelude to the Dream Trial opens once every twenty years. The Sword Sect, the Talisman Sect, the Buddhist Sect, the Astrological Observatory, Sunset City, Cangming, and my Witch Clan, including the Demon King's Holy Capital Demon Realm, will all participate."
"The winner of the secret realm competition will not only receive ancient inheritances, but also this meteorite stone."
“Buddhist sect... Sunset City..." Luo Chuan’s smiling lips instantly turned into a straight line.
