Chapter 82 Tang Wanwan, like two monkeys that have been suppressed for five hundred years
Moonlight shone on the golden fields. Ao Bai ran along the ridge and looked back, "If the Demon King knew you were using a magic spell to activate the cards, wouldn't he just kill you?"
Huali touched the small silver butterfly on her head.
"Take another look. Is this little thing really not a surveillance camera?"
Ao Bai nodded. "I've seen it four or five times already, really. If his wisp of energy wanted to convey a message, the butterfly would transform into a living creature and fly away. Right now, it's been in a dormant state."
Karin was relieved. "That's why I said that after the cooperation is achieved, once the stars are lit up, I'll be a death shield. What's with all this talk of spells? Let him wait and see."
"And you really think he's interested in my cards?" Huali recalled Luo Chuan's words, "I'm just a pawn in his whole game."
"Do you believe it if word gets out that a small barrier can render the Demon King helpless? It's just that I happened to be here when he was in a difficult situation, and I just happened to be able to give it a try."
Ao Bai nodded. "The Demon King Luo Chuan is very mysterious. He has never shown his true face to anyone. According to rumors, he failed to break through a hundred years ago and suffered the Nine Heavens Tribulation."
"Could it be that lightning struck his face?" Huali said, gently stroking the wheat fields as she walked. "That would be terrible."
Ao Bai jumped to reach the wheat ears that bounced back after she let go. "I don't know about that. The information only shows that he should have a sword on him, which disappeared after the tribulation. I wonder if his search for the Burning Heaven Tower is related to this."
Huali paused, suddenly remembering that Luo Chuan had also been involved in the blessing of the divine lamp before, and all of this must not be a coincidence.
He appears to be collecting divine artifacts.
Thinking of this, Huali silently tightened her grip on the Qiankun bag at her waist.
Apart from Lian Zhuo, no one knew that the Blessing Lamp was in her possession. Possessing such a treasure was a crime, and she had to be extremely careful from now on.

When they came, they were so focused on looking at the cards to find people that when they came down the mountain, Huali realized that there were many scarecrows stuck in the ridges of the fields.
It's kind of scary to look at it suddenly at night.
A faint, intermittent singing voice drifted from the scarecrow's empty sleeves.
Hua Li stopped and listened intently, asking suspiciously, "Ao Bai, did you hear someone singing?"
Ao Bai twitched his ears. "No."
With her health at full, Huali was full of energy. Just as she was about to follow the sound of the wind, she discovered a group of people gathered at the village entrance not far away.
They all had serious expressions, holding palm-sized transparent glass bottles filled with red liquid, which they were about to pour into the well at the village entrance.
A thought flashed through Huali's mind, and before she could run over, a man and a woman suddenly rushed out from the side of the crowd.
The woman grabbed the man's hand and twisted it sharply, shouting, "How dare you poison the well!"
"Hey, hey, hey, my arm is going to break! Please, heroine, have mercy!"
"Let go, let go of me!"
The man behind the girl, who was a step behind, quickly stepped forward and said, "Wanwan, our sect has rules against harming mortals. This is no longer a cultivation area, so you must keep a low profile."
Tang Wanwan's eyebrows furrowed, but she didn't loosen her grip at all, stating emphatically, "But I saw him pour this in with my own eyes..." She snatched the glass bottle away, "Huh, why is it blood?"
At this moment, the others, who had been frightened by the sudden turn of events, also came to their senses and said all at once, "Miss, you've misunderstood. We didn't poison anyone."
"Oh dear, little girl, you're hitting too hard! Let go of Dazhu!"
"Where did you outsiders come from?"
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Mo Ziyan immediately stepped forward and shielded Tang Wanwan behind him. "Fellow villagers, my sister was just trying to be nice and mistakenly thought this man was up to no good. I apologize to him on her behalf."
Just as the two were about to become the center of public attention, a joyful voice suddenly came from afar, "Tang Wanwan! Mo Ziyan!"
Tang Wanwan was taken aback by the villagers' arrogant rebuke. "Senior Brother Ziyan, why do I think I heard Huali's voice?"
She turned her head abruptly.
Then I saw a figure running quickly along the ridge of the field not far away, waving and shouting her name as she ran, baring her teeth and claws like a monkey that had just come down from the mountain, it was so ugly.
"Tang Wanwan!"
But as the familiar voice came, Tang Wanwan's eyes widened, and the next second she immediately joined the monkeys' group, jumping up and heading straight for Huali.
"Rosewood!"
The two men reacted as if they were soldiers meeting, excitedly grabbing each other's hands.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, or seeing a fellow countryman and holding hands with tears in our eyes—that's not true.
Tang Wanwan slapped Huali on the back with a bear paw and accused her, "I knew you weren't dead! You haven't told us you were safe for so long. Don't you have a heart?"
Huali stumbled from the slap, turned to look at Tang Wanwan's clear yet naive eyes, and sincerely asked, "Excuse me, how do I report this?"
Upon seeing Hua Li's pathetic state, Tang Wanwan was immediately reminded of their time at Baiyun Mountain, and their mutual positive perceptions of each other shattered simultaneously. She scoffed, "Country bumpkin, you don't even know how to use a communication stone."
Health supplements? Where are her health supplements? She'll open a shop for Tang Wanwan right after finishing this deal with the Demon King.
"You need to be friends on the messaging stone. Have we added each other?"
A flash of embarrassment crossed Tang Wanwan's eyes, but she forced herself to save face, giving a haughty snort, "Are we friends?"
Okay, okay!
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Mo Ziyan, who had finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd, smiled and said, "Miss Huali, it's good that you're alright."
A hint of apology flickered in his gentle eyes, "I swore an oath to guarantee your safety, but I failed..."
"Are you alright?" Huali interrupted him quickly, startled.
She had completely forgotten about it if Mo Ziyan hadn't mentioned it. "The Soul Oath has flared up? You're injured? Let me heal you."
Mo Ziyan was slightly taken aback, then immediately shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing. But Wanwan is very worried about you."
"Oh?" Huali glanced at her sideways.
Tang Wanwan immediately reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Who's worried about her? Stop talking nonsense!" To cover up her guilty conscience, she casually picked up Ao Bai from Huali's shoulder and quickly scratched its chin.
Ao Bai comfortably found a position in Tang Wanwan's arms, enjoying the service he couldn't refuse.
"Why are you alone? Where's Lian Zhuo?" Tang Wanwan changed the subject. "Wasn't she with you?"
Hua Li shook her head. "We got separated. But what about you guys? How did you suddenly appear in Baiwang Village?"
Mo Ziyan shook his head, "It's a long story."
Just then, Qi Zhi's parents rushed over and were taken aback when they saw Tang Wanwan and Mo Ziyan beside Hua Li. "Are you also Qi Zhi's friends?"
Before the two could speak, Karin stepped forward and said, "Yes."
