Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Three-in-one [250,000, 255,000+]

Seeing that Yan Luoyue was about to walk further and further away in the opposite direction, the rustling sound behind him gradually became louder, and it was obvious that the man was also getting anxious.

This little snake is still very simple at the moment, with a clean way of thinking, and has never experienced Yan Luoyue's "calculated" tactics.

No wonder he couldn't understand why the benefactor girl was so persistent.

He was clearly trying to break off branches and push the trunk, but she insisted on going down this path, insisting on going in the direction of Southward or Northward.

Yan Luoyue deliberately slowed down her steps.

As she walked, she wondered how the little snake would deal with her current situation.

It seems that the trick of placing the pattern on the ground is not working at all. I wonder what he will do next?

Should I play a radio broadcast to her from a distance?

Just one minute after this idea popped into his mind, Yan Luoyue lowered his head helplessly.

She looked at the pattern on the ground and almost wanted to cover her eyes.

She found that the other party's behavior pattern was really easy to guess.

Snake didn't improvise a radio broadcast to stop her in her tracks.

He... he created a giant crop circle.

Yan Luoyue looked around and saw a huge "x" appearing in the waist-high withered grass in the winter wilderness.

These weeds lay prostrate on the ground, their leaves and roots were dry, yellow and brittle, and turned into a pool of fine powder when blown by the wind, as if they had been doused with undiluted pesticides.

Considering the toxicity of Wu Man Shuang, it is not difficult to understand how this huge cross appeared.

——He just needs to take off his gloves and then walk a few steps on the ground according to the shape of the pattern.

Yan Luoyue wanted to know how Wu Manshuang made this decision.

As he thought about it, Yan Luoyue simulated the little snake's way of thinking:

She said she couldn't find her way home → let's use branches to make an arrow for her → Oh, the arrow made from the branches is too small, she couldn't see it → then use a dead tree to make a bigger one!

It's over. The dead tree made too much noise and scared her away. Oops, she walked in the opposite direction. What should I do? Otherwise, I will just draw a very big cross and scare her back.

Well, yes, that's how it should be.

Although the little snake had good intentions, how could he be so scary?

Yan Luoyue condemned him in her heart: Doesn't he know that little turtles are very fragile? There was once a record of one literally losing half its life after he looked at it?

The frightened little turtle, however, will——

In the wilderness, the little girl who lost her companion looked so frail and lonely from behind.

After seeing the huge cross on the meadow, she took two steps back in disbelief.

Great, she's finally stopped going in that direction.

Before Wu Manshuang could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Yan Luoyue had a strange expression that looked like she was both crying and laughing.

Then, in the next moment, she quickly raised her hands to cover her face.

Perhaps because she was particularly frightened, Yan Luoyue's voice when asking for help was different from usual.

The tone was a bit strange and stiff, and the ending even trembled uncontrollably, with a sense of fragmentation even between the words and sentences.

"It seems like I can't leave here either... Could it be, could it be that someone is teasing me on purpose? Did you take Master Jingxuan away? Please don't do this, please, I'm really scared."

Hearing what she said, the figure of Doupeng hiding in the dark couldn't help but tremble all over.

What to do, she said she was scared...

Yan Luoyue covered her face with her hands and her shoulders shook very naturally.

Covering her face with her hands, she finally laughed arrogantly.

Although she had to be careful not to laugh out loud when joking...but she really wanted to know how Wu Manshuang would deal with her current reaction.

Amid the whistling wind, the noise that fell into Yan Luoyue's ears became louder.

It's like a person traveling back and forth between two points, trying his best to keep his voice down so as not to be noticed by another person in the place.

Hey, is he... moving something?

Yan Luoyue was curious, so she spread her fingers apart and took a quick look through the gap.

The next second, Yan Luoyue put down her hand in surprise.

Who could tell her why a bunch of brightly colored dried fruits suddenly appeared less than a hundred meters away from her?

Was it bait for a trap? If she stepped on it, a big hole would suddenly appear on the ground.

Yan Luoyue pinched her chin and thought seriously about this possibility.

Half a second later, Yan Luoyue completely gave up thinking and decided to go over and take a look in person.

It was not until she got closer that Yan Luoyue realized that there was a lot of dried fruits in the pile. They were piled up on the ground like a small tower.

Even after being dried, the fruits still exude a sweet fragrance.

This is a local wild fruit of Yizhong, Yunningze. It is very sweet and often before the fruit is ripe, it will be pecked with holes by birds.

The fruits in front of you have intact skins and still bright colors. The owner must have spent a lot of effort to preserve them.

Measuring the "spires" with his palm, Yan Luoyue fully suspected that the little snake had emptied all his food reserves for the winter!

This reminded her of many similar stories.

It's like a beautiful cat that thinks its useless owner can't hunt and might starve to death.

So one day, the cat went outside and dragged back a mouse to give to the owner.

It also seems like a cute cat and its poop scooper have a very close relationship.

So the owner woke up in the morning and found more than a dozen cockroaches lined up beside his pillow, and the culprit was standing at the head of the bed, looking at him with a look of seeking credit.

Compared with those gifts or stored food, the pile of dried fruits in front of him was really tasty and thoughtful, and Yan Luoyue was so shocked that he covered his chest on the spot.

——Help, you are obviously a little green snake, why do you act like a cat?

What kind of cat snake is this? She must catch one today!

Yan Luoyue felt as if she was hit in the heart by a ton of excessive cuteness.

The next second, as if to suit the occasion, a -10 health deduction mark slowly appeared in front of her eyes.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

It was not until the blood deduction number reminded her that Yan Luoyue realized that just now, the hands that she had covered her face had unknowingly left their original position and even seemed to have waved twice.

And that expression of "not afraid at all, but very happy" was directly displayed.

After realizing this, Yan Luoyue blinked guiltily.

...Oh no, it seems she is exposed.

...Where's the little snake? I haven't heard his voice. Could he be angry after finding out the truth?

This was probably why, now there was silence all around Yan Luoyue, and the little snake that had been making tiny noises before was simply strangled to death.

The little girl pursed her lips, looked around, and whispered, "Wu Manshuang? Wu Manshuang?"

"Are you there?"

"Will you pay attention to me?"

The wilderness was as quiet as before, without any response, only the sound of the wind blowing from afar.

Well, it looks like he is really angry.

Yan Luoyue condemned her own behavior of not being able to restrain herself before: Damn it, that truth is indeed true - "The top hunters often appear in the form of prey."

Wu Manshuang may not know this truth, but he has mastered this skill by nature!

And she, a hunter who had learned through experience, was easily trapped by the small fruit sent by the other party.

Yan Luoyue clenched his fist and knocked it against his palm with regret, then picked up a dried fruit from the top of the tower and ate it.

"So sweet, thank you for the treat." She also placed a large bag of dried fish next to the fruit pile, "Come out, I'll treat you to something too."

No response.

Yan Luoyue put down another oil-paper bag.

"Don't you like dried fish? I have some orange cakes here, would you like some?"

"The orange cakes here are soft and translucent, I like them very much - since you didn't say anything, does that mean you like them too? Then I'll give them all to you!"

Not far away, something seemed to move in the grass.

The tip of the grass swayed for a moment under Yan Luoyue's gaze, and then quickly returned to its original state.

His patience is surprisingly good.

Yan Luoyue piled seven or eight small snacks on the ground and said all kinds of things to the air, but the other party just held back and didn't show up.

Finally, Yan Luoyue rolled his eyes, put on a stern face and stood up.

"If you...if you don't want to see me, then I'll leave."

This time, the grass shook more violently than before.

Yan Luoyue saw that there was a way, and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I'm really leaving."

She won't leave because it's a lie.

This little snake is so hard to catch. Once he shows up, she won't let him say a word and will throw a sack on his head!

Yan Luoyue originally thought that Wu Manshuang would finally come out now.

Unexpectedly, she walked for hundreds of meters and there was still no movement behind her.

The tips of the grass that were shaking violently before also calmed down after the violent shaking.

Behind Yan Luoyue, someone grabbed the edge of the hood and pulled it down as hard as possible.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, like a string of tiny drum beats hitting the eardrums, as if constantly reminding Wu Man Shuang...she was really leaving this time.

Under the hood, someone lowered his eyes silently.

The little girl, who usually always smiles and loves to laugh, had a stern face before she left this time.

She didn't say anything, but her footsteps were heavier than before, as if she was a little aggrieved.

My heart seemed to be squeezed into a ball by some existence in the void.

Wu Manshuang twisted her fingers together in confusion, thinking that she must be angry.

This is good. After getting angry this time, I guess I won’t get angry again.

She has two older brothers and Master Jingxuan as a friend.

I hope that after returning, they can comfort her and make her happy again.

Doupeng pressed his fingers to the corners of his mouth, trying to push them upwards.

He glanced at Yan Luoyue's back with reluctance.

At one glance, all the feelings that arose were completely wiped out.

Wu Man Shuang's body was shaken violently.

——Wait, are we really lost?

——How did she get to that direction? !

There...there are some killer vines there!

Yan Luoyue stared at it without blinking, and walked forward with big strides.

She had good eyesight and was alert, and her peripheral vision was able to quickly detect the vines in front of her that were tangled like a ball of fur.

This vine is called the entanglement vine and is usually found in wild areas and grows in burrows in the ground.

The vine of the strangler is very particular about the development of obscenity.

It will first grow a well-developed root system in a damp and dark burrow, and then weave a web of vines to cover the surface of the burrow like a carpet.

When a creature passes through the "carpet" defenselessly, dozens or even hundreds of vines will move immediately, pulling the prey into the burrow and entangling it.

Prey that fall into a hole are mostly like travelers stuck in quicksand or a swamp, and can only wait to be trapped and die.

With Yan Luoyue's current level of cultivation, the Killing Earth Vine is a little difficult to deal with, but it is not impossible to deal with.

But if it is not necessary, it is best not to provoke it.

However, at this moment, Yan Luoyue seemed to be unaware of anything and walked straight towards the underground network made of vines.

Yan Luoyue walked while counting down in her heart.

"Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps..."

Just when she counted to the seventh step, a hand suddenly grabbed the fabric on her back.

"--stop!"

The voice was slightly panting, and it was obvious that after noticing the situation here, he rushed over as quickly as possible.

"Don't go any further!"

In fact, considering the distance between the two people, even if they sprint a few steps, it wouldn't be like this.

His heavy breathing was mostly due to nervousness.

The tension of worrying that she would fall into a trap, the tension of suddenly jumping out of hiding without thinking, the tension of realizing it after grabbing her...

Before today, Wu Man Shuang had never known that there were so many types and reasons for being nervous.

Yan Luoyue turned around slowly.

Under the tent, a little mummy, wrapped in rags, was staring at her through the white veil.

He was still the same as when he was trapped in the demon world. As soon as he saw Yan Luoyue, he would focus all his attention on her.

Yan Luoyue was slightly startled by his gaze. She felt as if her hands were weak and suddenly she was unable to take out the small sack she had prepared.

My heart seemed to soften, and I couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Actually..." Yan Luoyue confessed in a low voice, "I have already built a foundation, and I am capable of dealing with this killing vine. Even if I step on it, I will be fine."

"I know." Wu Manshuang said.

He slowly lowered his head, his voice was very soft and clear: "But I just can't watch you step on it."

Before he could react, her legs had already sprung out of the grass and her fingers were already grabbing the fabric of her back.

Hearing his words, Yan Luoyue burst into laughter.

Even through the white veil covering her eyes, Wu Man Shuang could still see two stars twinkling in her eyes.

Yan Luoyue asked: "Then you are not angry with me anymore?"

Wu Manshuang shook her head: "I'm not angry with you."

He was extremely aware and even did some self-reflection.

"I didn't know you would come here, and I left the vines alone. If I had known... I should have cleaned the house in advance."

The entangled vine: ???

In other words, plants cannot talk.

Otherwise, the entangled vines would have to unite with the dead tree and the dead grass with a cross on it to attack Wu Man Shuang and ask: Hey, what’s wrong with you?

As soon as his ears moved, Yan Luoyue's brain automatically captured the key words.

Huh? What did he just say? "Clean the house"?

So the next moment, Yan Luoyue immediately displayed the climbing skills that the turtle tribe was proud of, and climbed straight up the pole on the spot.

The little girl tilted her head and looked at him: "What about your house nearby? I'm here now, won't you invite me over to sit for a while?"

“…”

Wu Manshuang should have refused, just like he shouldn't have come out to see her today.

However, Yan Luoyue's sparkling eyes seemed to have some kind of demonic quality.

Her cheerful voice and carefree smile, now so close to Wu Manshuang, formed a sharp contrast with the look of the little girl with a frown on her face as she left a moment ago.

Wu Manshuang nodded involuntarily.

"Okay. I'll take you there."

—————————

The place where Wu Manshuang lived was a very simple cave with poor warmth retention and average lighting.

Yan Luoyue sat in the cave, looking around inconspicuously.

There were several clay jars piled up in the corner, filled with clean water.

There were two bamboo poles on the top of the cave, and hung on the poles were bacon and dried fruits that Wu Manshuang had dried herself... Well, she just tasted one of the dried fruits, and it tasted good.

Thanks to Luoyue who stuffed a bunch of storage bags into Wu Manshuang's pockets last time, there was finally a cabinet in the cave.

The cabinet door was not locked, and through the gap, one could vaguely see a pile of standard storage bags inside, as well as flint, tinder and other daily necessities.

As for Yan Luoyue, she was now sitting on a small bed made of straw.

The grass core has been newly replaced and exudes a faint hay scent.

Yan Luoyue calmly pressed it with her hand: "Given this thickness, it might not be a problem to sit on it for a while. But if you sleep on it all night, it will definitely feel very cold."

Come to think of it, they had searched together at the beginning and indeed no monk had put a bed in the storage bag.

Alas, if she had known that Wu Manshuang slept on straw on the ground, she could have packed up Wu Chunhui's stone bed and taken it away.

Ever since Yan Luoyue came to the cave, Wu Manshuang has been keeping her head down awkwardly.

He sat on a small pony, keeping a long distance from the bed.

The area of ​​the cave was not very large, but he and Yan Luoyue sat almost diagonally opposite each other.

Unknown to Yan Luoyue, Wu Manshuang was secretly rejoicing in her heart.

Fortunately, he had just cleaned the cave not long ago and cleared away some items that were contaminated with his own poison.

After all, the cave was where he lived. Even though Wu Manshuang was usually very careful, she would sometimes accidentally get infected with his poison.

Because of this, all the things in the cave have to be replaced every once in a while.

But, in fact, he didn't have anything.

Under the bandage, Wu Manshuang pursed her lips, feeling a little regretful for bringing Yan Luoyue here.

The moon should be high in the sky, accompanied by the stars.

She deserves to be in a warmer, brighter, more spacious place, surrounded by friends and love.

Instead of staying in his cave, sitting on a simple bed made of hay...

Before he could finish the thought, Yan Luoyue touched something prickly from the straw pile.

"Hey, what is this?"

Wu Manshuang suddenly raised her head, and the blood rushed to her forehead. Even through the cloth, one could see that the tip of her ear was red and almost bleeding.

"That is..."

Yan Luoyue had already copied something into her hand. She picked it up and took a look, and found that it was a book.

It can be seen that the owner of the book took good care of it, and wrapped it with an extra layer of oil paper. However, because it was turned too many times, the pages were already curled up and frayed.

Yan Luoyue raised her eyes and looked at Wu Manshuang: "Can I take a look at this?"

Wu Manshuang said nothing and nodded dejectedly.

Yan Luoyue flipped through two pages and immediately understood: "Ah, so that's it."

This is a very popular storybook in the world of cultivating immortals, "The Legend of Pine and Cypress Subduing Demons".

It tells the story of how a protagonist named "Mr. Songbai" defeated monsters and crushed their conspiracies in the late stage of the Demon War, and finally rose through the ranks in the alliance between the two tribes and led his partners and subordinates to complete the seal of a monster.

Songbaijun is just a fictional male protagonist and has no prototype identity.

After the battle against demons ended, similar stories appeared one after another, and the theme of conquering demons ushered in a creative boom.

But in the end, it is this book "The Legend of Songbai Fu Mo" that has completely defeated similar works and has been passed down to this day and remains popular.

Whenever Yan Luoyue went to Ruyi City, she would often hear the old storyteller in the teahouse telling this book. When he got excited, he would spit and his face would be flushed.

Yan Luoyue looked at Wu Manshuang curiously, as if she had discovered a new continent: "So you like listening to stories?"

That's great, there happens to be a red-crowned crane historian among my teammates, and his job is to record various stories.

Wu Manshuang shook her head. “In the nearest village, there is an old man who knows how to read and would read to the children from a storybook… Sometimes I would go and listen quietly.”

Of course, every time I went to listen, Wu Man Shuang was very far away.

Immortal cultivators naturally have sharp ears and eyes. If they ignore other senses and focus their spiritual power solely on their ears, they can even hear movements dozens of miles away.

That’s what Wu Manshuang did.

The sound of speech is different from the sound of footsteps, horse hooves, or the rumbling of wheels. It has different tones and ups and downs.

The old man's voice was deep and there was phlegm in his throat, so his tone was a little unclear.

Wu Manshuang tried his best to keep as much distance as possible, so every time he listened to a book, he would be considered lucky if he could understand a quarter of it.

This leads to...

Yan Luoyue flipped the pages of the book twice and finally understood why the tips of Wu Manshuang's ears were so red at first.

On the pages of the book, all the more complicated words were circled by Wu Manshuang with charcoal.

There are several pages where the flooding is particularly severe.

At first glance, it looks like a big circle stacked on top of a small circle, with circles within circles.

Even the infinitely flexible Qiankun Niu Beer Circle would probably admit defeat after reading this book.

Wu Manshuang clenched her fingers in shame and confessed, "...I, I don't know many words."

As he said this, the heat surged from his neck to his cheeks, making him feel ashamed.

He was afraid that Yan Luoyue would misunderstand him, so he wanted to add, "I'm learning from you."

But when I think about it carefully, this is something he should know, but he still hasn't learned it. There's really nothing good to say.

"Really? You want to learn to read?" Yan Luoyue was very surprised. "Then I'll teach you."

Look, this is a very conscious snake that has slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education system.

Without textbooks, teachers, or even anyone to communicate with, he still perseveres in finding ways to learn on his own.

Although he still can't recognize all the words in the book, he at least learned to speak!

Yan Luoyue smiled with eyes crooked: "And you can't just learn words... How about memorizing a set of multiplication tables first?"

Wu Manshuang shuddered and raised her head suddenly.

This reaction of his was certainly not because he had a premonition that beneath the "multiplication table" there was a huge mathematical iceberg.

He was puzzled by...

Wait, wasn’t Yan Luoyue just sitting on the small bed made of straw?

When did she move next to him, and so close to him, less than a fist away?

There is only one horse in my cave...

Subconsciously glancing at the ground, Wu Man Shuang realized that she had made a mistake.

Although there was only one horse in the cave, Yan Luoyue could bring her own.

——Yes, Yan Luoyue took out a stool from his storage bag, and then quietly and "advanced"ly moved to the side of Wu Manshuang!

Yan Luoyue held his chin with one hand and looked at Wu Manshuang without blinking.

It's not that she has a bad taste, but the little snake's reaction is really funny.

Ever since Wu Manshuang realized that she had moved next to him, his entire demeanor became as tense as a fully drawn bow.

If everyone had a warning radar, then Wu Man Shuang's radar would have all its antennas raised and pointed in all directions, like a sea urchin ball.

Alas, Wu Manshuang probably doesn’t know that her health has increased tenfold.

He was so worried just because he was sitting next to Wu Manshuang. What if...

Yan Luoyue blinked, suddenly opened the storybook, and pointed at a circled word inside.

"Look at this."

That word is none other than the word “frost” in the sentence “white dew turns to frost”.

Even through the white veil, one could sense Wu Manshuang's eyes light up: "I know..."

He really wanted to take this opportunity to tell Yan Luoyue that since she gave him a name, he had tried his best to learn these two words as soon as possible.

From that day on, his "witch" was not only "a witch with two branches inside", but also a witch "full of frost".

Witch, Man, Frost.

These three words originally had no connection in the world.

But because of Yan Luoyue, these three words formed a new name, just as he had been fortunate enough to be connected with her three times in the past.

However, before Wu Manshuang could finish his words, Yan Luoyue took advantage of the moment when his attention was diverted and did something that was completely beyond Wu Manshuang's expectations.

——She didn't even take any precautions and just grabbed Wu Manshuang's hand!

If her hands were still wrapped in layers of cloth, Wu Manshuang might not be so panicked.

But somehow, the thick strip of cloth broke in the middle and fell to the ground like pieces of noodles being put into a pot.

Even Wu Manshuang's glove was taken away by Yan Luoyue at the first opportunity.

If the situation wasn't urgent, Wu Manshuang would stare at Yan Luoyue with an accusing look until Yan Luoyue turned away guiltily, or he couldn't hold back and blushed and lowered his head.

How could she do this?

How could she not care about her own safety?

How could she... how could she hide a blade between her fingers and cut the strips of cloth on the back of his hand? !

In an instant, Yan Luoyue felt that Wu Manshuang's aura suddenly changed.

If before he was a hooded sea urchin with all its antennas raised, or a hooded hedgehog that rolled itself into a hemisphere.

Now, Wu Manshuang's sharp temperament and the invisible thorns all over his body were literally growing "whoosh" in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, the hedgehog's soft quills became as hard and long as a porcupine's!

Even though her face was covered by layers of cloth, Yan Luoyue could still feel that Wu Manshuang's face was extremely pale.

Not only because the boy's hand in her palm suddenly turned from warm to cold.

This is because some things do not need to be seen with the eyes, but can be discovered with the senses and the heart.

Wu Manshuang said in a hurry: "Why—don't hold it anymore—let go—!!!"

Today is a day worth remembering.

Because this was the first time in the little green snake Wu Manyhuang's life that she spoke loudly to Yan Luoyuechao.

Not only did he dare to speak loudly to Yan Luoyue, he even dared to shake his hands hard, trying to get rid of her!

Yan Luoyue insisted on holding Wu Manshuang's hand, and no matter how the frightened little green snake struggled, she would not let him go.

Not until Wu Manshuang calmed down belatedly, and until her health bar dropped from 100,000 points to over 30,000, did Yan Luoyue slowly loosen his fingers.

"Look," she said soothingly, "I just bumped into you, but I'm fine."

“…”

Wu Man Shuang stood there frozen in place like a wooden sculpture.

The warmth of her palm still remained on the back of his cold hand.

He stared at Yan Luoyue blankly. In order to show that she was healthy, the little girl even jumped on her spot and then turned around in a circle in front of him.

"See." Yan Luoyue said with a smile, "I told you it's okay."

"you……"

The soul that was scared away just now has finally returned to its body.

Wu Manshuang tried several times before she found her stiff tongue again.

Although he didn't have much experience in getting along with people, he felt that he should get angry at this moment.

Under the white veil, Wu Manshuang frowned: "You..."

He had barely uttered a word before his words gained traction when Yan Luoyue interrupted him.

Yan Luoyue complained aggrievedly: "You just pulled me."

Wu Manshuang: “…”

Yan Luoyue repeated again: "You pulled me."

“…”

After being accused twice in a row by her, I instantly forgot everything I wanted to say before.

Wu Manshuang said reflexively, "I'm sorry."

“…”

Then, he watched Yan Luoyue shaking his head, laughing to himself, and muttering something he half understood.

"Ah... You don't have to apologize. Really, how can I leave you here... You'll be bullied to death..."

Muttering to herself softly, Yan Luoyue returned the gloves to Wu Manshuang.

The boy immediately felt like he had found a treasure and put on the gloves quickly.

Before he raised his head, Yan Luoyue's invitation had already been delivered to him.

"Look, I just ran into you, and I'm fine, right? - So, come with me."

"!!!"

It was as if a bolt of lightning suddenly pierced through her head and split all the meridians in her body. Wu Man Shuang raised her head as if in a dream.

It was not until now that he dared to believe that she really came here specially to see him.

What an inviting invitation.

What makes people want to nod and say yes is not only the invitation itself, but also the girl who made the invitation.

After several years, she reached out to him again.

Just like when she was in the bustling city in the past, she offered her wrist to a helpless little snake despite being chased by pursuers.

Under the white veil covering her eyes, Wu Manshuang's eyes were dazed for a moment.

"But……"

Even he himself could hear the weakness and trembling in his own voice.

Is there really someone in this world who is so determined, determined enough to reject her a second time? Wu Manshuang really doubted it.

"Come with me." Yan Luoyue said briskly.

"I didn't have time to tell you last time, but I'm a weapon maker. I can make many magical weapons to prevent the things you're afraid of. Let's try together, and the problem will be solved."

“But it’s too risky.” Wu Manshuang summoned up her last bit of willpower and resilience and said with difficulty, “I can’t go to your tribe’s land.”

That's the home where she grew up.

Although she can touch him now, if his toxicity grows, what if...

He would rather never see her again than hurt her or the people she cared about.

After hearing Wu Manshuang's answer, Yan Luoyue clapped his hands lightly.

"That's perfect. We're not going back to our tribe today. I'm going to the Hundred Refinements Conference. Pack your things and leave with me."

There were two balls of light in her eyes, like the two most beautiful fireflies in summer, or like the moon reflected on the water.

Looking at the light in her eyes, Wu Manshuang wanted to nod unconsciously.

At this moment, Yan Luoyue suddenly gave him the final blow.

She grabbed his wrist again - oh, this time it was through the sleeve, bandage and gloves, so it shouldn't matter - and she smiled so beautifully, like the first mountain flower blooming in spring... Uh, wait, what did she just say?

Yan Luoyue's clear tone, word by word, fell into Wu Manshuang's eardrum, awakening his originally drowsy brain.

"Wu Manshuang." Yan Luoyue declared solemnly, "I have kidnapped you."

“…”

Click.

Wu Manshuang heard the sound of her own sanity failing.

Wu Manshuang was dazed and repeated like a possessed person: "Yes, I... I was kidnapped."

I don't know what touched her sore spot, but she suddenly covered her face with her hands, turned away, and laughed with her shoulders shrugged.

What is she laughing at?

It turns out that there are flowers blooming in winter.

After a while, Yan Luoyue pulled his sleeve.

"Okay, since Wu Manshuang has behaved so well, I won't put you in a sack. Just come with me."

Wu Manshuang involuntarily followed the force of Yan Luoyue pulling him and took a step forward.

It was not until they walked out of the cave and into the fields, and Yan Luoyue let go of his hand with confidence, and her bouncing figure swayed in front of Wu Manshuang's eyes, that he suddenly reacted.

——That’s not right, Yan Luoyue advised that his logic was totally invalid.

His problem is not whether to go to the Turtle Tribe’s territory!

Isn't it worse if we encounter trouble along the way like now?

But for some reason, Wu Manshuang's throat felt as if it were coated with a layer of sweet honey. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

For some unknown reason, he neither wanted to correct the loophole in Yan Luoyue's words nor did he want to protest.

A small voice echoed in his heart, whispering to Wu Man Shuang: Believe in her, believe in her again this time, just like you did that time at Yueming Collection.

Then... let's just do it like this now.

Wu Man Shuang thought secretly: If something unexpected really happens, I will leave immediately and go to a place where no one can find me.

After making up her mind, Wu Manshuang took a step forward and caught up with Yan Luoyue's back.

Then, he felt that not only his throat, but even the air he breathed was soaked in a layer of sweetness like nectar.

Yan Luoyue suddenly turned to look at him: "Hey, what are you laughing at?"

The little green snake's smile was so obvious that she could notice it even through the hood and a layer of cloth.

"Am I laughing?"

Wu Manshuang was even more surprised than Yan Luoyue. He even subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face.

After thinking for a while, Wu Manshuang said seriously, "Maybe I am laughing... How could the sky be so blue? I have never noticed it before."

—————————

Ling Shuanghun waited there for a long time, so long that the red-crowned crane, which was originally humming an epic ballad, even changed the theme of the song.

In the corner where no one was listening, the historian who had always been dignified and self-possessed also put down his burden.

The crane song, which is usually used for poetic narration, now also reveals a rare hint of youthful playfulness.

"The ancients have gone away on yellow cranes, leaving only white cranes here~

My travel companions have gone and never come back, leaving me with nothing but sighs~yo~*..."

Just when the crane song was about to reach the first key change, Ling Shuanghun excitedly discovered that two figures the size of black dots appeared in the distance!

He immediately transformed into a red-crowned crane, flapped his wings, and flew smoothly, soon landing in front of the two people.

Ling Shuanghun folded his wings and transformed into a human form. He smiled politely and courteously, "This is my fellow... Taoist?!"

The white crane, whose wings had not yet been fully folded, uttered the last two words as if it had jumped up in shock.

Ling Shuanghun looked at Wu Manshuang almost in horror.

He looked at the other person under his hood, who was dressed in rags.

Baihe Historian, who had always been treated with courtesy in various places and who had just come into contact with the evil forces in the world of immortal cultivation for the first time, was faced with such a heartfelt shock for the first time.

After all, it is one thing to have read relevant records in history books, but it is another thing to experience the impact of it with one's own eyes.

Ling Shuanghun turned his gaze towards Yan Luoyue with a bit of despair.

"Xiao Yan, even if Taoist Xiao Wu is determined not to go with us, you can just let him go. Why do you have to beat him up like this?"

Look at this poor child: from head to toe, there is no place that is not wrapped in cloth strips.

Even his eyes were covered with a layer of white gauze. Maybe even his eye sockets were bruised?

Ling Shuanghun turned his eyes away with reluctance.

Then, he trembled and took out a small box of medicine he had prepared from his sleeve.

It was not until this moment that Ling Shuanghun realized with deep sorrow that his previous preparations for this meeting were too little, too little.

Ling Shuanghun looked at Wu Manshuang with concern and asked about his well-being.

"How are you now? Are you breathing smoothly? Can you walk on your own? Are you conscious? Don't be afraid, the nearest hospital is only an hour away, I will carry you there right now."

Yan Luoyue, who was greatly misunderstood, said: “…”

Wu Manshuang, who was also misunderstood, said: "..."

Yan Luoyue asked expressionlessly: "What did I just say?"

Wu Manshuang recited the original text, "You said you would introduce me to a knowledgeable Crane historian, Fellow Daoist Ling Shuanghun."

"Well, let me add a little more." Yan Luoyue said in a flat tone.

"As you can see, this crane demon who has been dedicated to recording unofficial history and now has decided to create unofficial history for me is your Taoist friend Xiao Ling."

Ling Shuanghun: “…”

The author has something to say: *Adapted from "Yellow Crane Tower".

Why did Tang Dynasty poetry appear in the world of immortal cultivation? Because the author still hasn't learned how to write poetry qaq
