Qi Tong stared at the black-haired, black-eyed man in front of him, his mind blank for a long time. After thinking for a while, he said, "You... look a lot like someone I know. I might have mistaken you for someone else."
It clearly remembered that Feng Lin had jumped off the building; given the height of that building, he was certain to die.
Moreover, the first world Mu Tiantian did the mission in was clearly a D-level ordinary modern society, so it must have been a teleportation error that caused this.
Perhaps it's just someone who looks very similar.
Just when Qi Tong thought he had really mistaken someone for someone else, the man's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly, "What if I said... you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
Qi Tong stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.
“You might not be familiar with the situation here.” Feng Lin let go, and Qi Tong fell to the ground, rolled twice, and cried out in pain.
Feng Lin sat down beside it and continued, "The world is divided into six domains, and each domain is divided into twelve realms. Basically, everyone in every domain knows of each other's existence, but the mortal realm in the Mortal Spirit Domain is an exception. Do you know why?"
When Qi Tong first heard about the situation in this world, he shook his head.
"In fact, the original Mortal Realm was just a chaotic place. But after development and evolution, mortals similar to gods appeared. Some of them were rich in spiritual energy and could cultivate, but others had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate. Gradually, mortals were divided into two types, and their lifespans also became different."
"Due to the vast disparity between the two sides, coupled with the fact that humans have seven emotions and six desires and are driven by human nature, wars frequently occur, resulting in a large increase in the number of deaths. Their evil thoughts also generate a large number of demons. In the long run, not only will the underworld be unable to accommodate their souls after death, but the demons generated by their evil resentment will also occupy other realms."
"Finally, the ancient gods of the Divine Realm forcibly separated humans and demons, thus creating the Mortal Realm and the Demon Realm. The Mortal Realm was further forcibly divided into the Mortal and Spirit Realms. Those without spiritual roots who could not cultivate were allowed to live and develop independently, while they were not allowed to know about the existence of other realms. Based on the protection of the Mortal Realm, people from other realms were not allowed to set foot in the Mortal Realm unless absolutely necessary."
After Feng Lin finished speaking, he glanced at the featherless chick and said, "Mortals with spiritual roots can cultivate into immortals, and immortals can cultivate into gods, but they need to undergo tribulations, and they must undergo tribulations as mortals, perhaps in the mortal realm, perhaps in the spiritual realm."
After processing what he said, Qi Tong concluded based on his own experience, "So, you mean... you've experienced tribulations in the mortal realm?"
“Not too stupid, but…” Feng Lin stared directly at it, “How do you, a divine beast that’s only been born a short time ago, know me?”
Qi Tong tensed up a bit under his gaze. "I...I heard it."
Feng Lin didn't ask where it heard about it, but instead asked, "What does the 'Feng Lin' you heard about look like?"
Qi Tong made up an excuse, "I look a lot like you, that's why I admitted my mistake."
"Nothing else special?"
Upon hearing his question, Qi Tong suddenly had a bad feeling and asked, "What else could be special?"
Feng Lin remained silent for a long time, then chuckled softly, "Nothing special."
He turned to look at the sea and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, there are only a few people who have seen me in this mortal form, and you recognized me at a glance. It seems your eyesight is... quite good."
Qi Tong couldn't help but feel that there was something hidden in his words; this guy was definitely a shrewd individual.
Knowing that saying too much would only lead to more mistakes, it chose to keep quiet and began trying to contact Mu Tiantian.
...
While searching for Qi Tong on the coast, Mu Tiantian sensed a sound like electricity passing through her mind. Although it was fleeting, Mu Tiantian could tell that Qi Tong was trying to contact her.
Knowing that it was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She tentatively asked Feng Ying, "Demon Lord, shall we cross the sea to search?"
“No way.” Feng Ying refused outright. “The Demon Realm is not under my jurisdiction, and they would never obey my orders, so there’s no point in going there.”
More importantly, he realized that she wanted to escape. If she entered the demon realm and managed to escape, it would be difficult to find her again.
Mu Qingmo suggested, "Feng Ying, didn't you want to marry her? Although she is a demon, she must have family. You can go directly to her home to propose. If her parents agree, why are you afraid she won't? If she doesn't want to talk about it, just have the patrol officers investigate."
Mu Tiantian glanced at Mu Qingmo and said with a forced smile, "My lord, you really know how to come up with ideas. Thank you."
She didn't even know if she was human or a demon, so she couldn't conjure up parents from somewhere.
Seeing her suppressing her temper, Mu Qingmo was delighted and couldn't help but pat her head affectionately, saying, "You're welcome."
Seeing this, Feng Ying felt a pang of sadness and pulled Mu Tiantian behind him to assert his ownership over Mu Qingmo, "This is the one I set my sights on first. Even if we are sworn brothers, I can't give it to you."
Mu Qingmo withdrew his hand, his eyes showing a hint of hostility as he looked at Feng Ying, but it vanished in an instant. He sighed and said, "Brother, I gave you advice, and you're blaming me. I was originally planning to go with you to propose marriage and keep an eye on her to prevent her from escaping. Since you're unwilling, then forget it."
Mu Tiantian glanced at Mu Qingmo again, wondering if it was just her imagination. Could it be that he said that to help her?
But this is the first time they've met.
But she also subconsciously felt that he wouldn't harm her, and had a strange sense of trust in him.
Could it really be her family?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have this feeling.
Feng Ying thought about it and felt that Mu Qingmo's words made sense, so she agreed, "Then let's go to the Demon Realm to see her parents."
"Let's take a boat," Mu Qingmo said. "Otherwise, if the patrol officers see us, it could cause unnecessary trouble."
Feng Ying thought it made sense and agreed.
After boarding the boat, Mu Tiantian asked curiously, "What trouble will there be if we don't take the boat?"
Mu Qingmo patiently explained, "There are also air traffic control patrols. If they find someone entering their airspace without prior notice, they will shoot them down immediately, which would be very dangerous."
Mu Tiantian nodded, gaining a new understanding of the world.
Seeing the two chatting happily, Feng Ying felt an uncontrollable surge of jealousy well up again, and couldn't help but sit down between them, right next to Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian moved to the side, and Feng Ying followed suit.
"Don't push me." She pushed him aside.
Feng Ying stared straight at her, his eyes filled with anger, but she could also see a hint of grievance and sadness in them.
Mu Tiantian asked him earnestly, "You...really...want to marry me?"
"Would I, the mighty Demon Lord, lie to you?" Feng Ying was somewhat annoyed that she didn't believe him.
Mu Tiantian didn't understand, "Why? Isn't it so you can lock me up in the Demon God's Palace to cook for you?"
“I’ve lived for 100,000 years without a cook, and you…” Feng Ying said angrily, “What else could I possibly want to marry you for?”
If he didn't love her, why would he marry her?
Mu Tiantian thought he didn't seem to be lying, but... they had only known each other for a few days.
"Demon Lord..."
Call me Phoenix Eagle.
"This... Demon Lord..."
"Feng Ying," Feng Ying corrected, even though she had called him by his full name earlier because she was angry.
But he liked it when she called him that.
Mu Tiantian couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she told him seriously, "Feng Ying, look at you, the mighty Demon Lord, you can have any female demons or monsters you want, why do you have to marry me? Besides, I... I can't marry you."
Feng Ying's breathing became rapid, and her gaze grew increasingly dangerous.
Mu Tiantian could imagine that he, as a demon lord, had never been rejected like this before, and thought that perhaps it was just a passing fancy.
Even if he's angry, she has to make things clear: "I'm engaged, and I love my fiancé very much, so..."
"Go back." Feng Ying didn't give her a chance to finish, grabbing her wrist tightly and immediately casting a spell to make the ship return to shore.
Mu Qingmo advised, "Didn't I say that as long as her parents agree, that's enough? Why do you care what she thinks?"
At that moment, Feng Ying couldn't hear anything. He couldn't accept the fact that she liked someone else.
Mu Tiantian's wrist ached from his grip, and she gasped, "Ouch~ Let go, it hurts..."
She patted Fengying's hand.
Just as Feng Ying was about to let go upon hearing the sound, her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by a strong force. Her hand went numb for a moment, and Mu Tiantian immediately pulled her arm back, leaving a red mark on her slender, white wrist.
Mu Qingmo's eyes turned icy as he stepped in front of Mu Tiantian and coldly looked at Feng Ying, "Didn't you hear? She said it hurts."
Feng Ying noticed something was wrong with him and questioned, "Have you taken a liking to her too?"
