Chapter 1174: Smooth Sailing, All Wishes Come True
Compared to the state in which her eyes immediately turned red when the matter of separation was mentioned at the beginning, Manshurou is now much calmer, and seems to be shouldering the heavy responsibility of being the bridge between the two worlds.
"It would be best if you send it. After all, you are now an elder of the Higanbana clan in the underworld, and your power and status are different." Shen Lixian said with a smile.
Man Shurou smiled and glared at Shen Lixian: "You are making fun of me again."
"I didn't, Elder Man." Shen Lixian smiled brightly.
Ye Linglong was surprised to hear the news, but he also felt it made sense. This would make it much more convenient for both parties to discuss cooperation in the future.
After all, recognizing Manshurou's identity here is equivalent to recognizing the red spider lily clan in the demon world, and things are developing in a good direction.
"Now that we're done here, we're leaving right away." Ye Linglong turned to look at Shen Lixian: "Second Brother, do you really not want to be swayed by the wind in your hometown?"
Shen Lixian's expression froze, but Man Shurou excitedly grabbed his arm.
"Come on, I know a great place. I've wanted to go there for a long time. Let's go together."
"I'm not going..." Before Shen Lixian could finish his words, Ye Linglong grabbed his other arm: "Go, go, I'm going too!"
"Hey, hey! What are you doing? Let me go!"
"Miss Ye, hold on tight, don't let him run away!"
"Don't worry, it's very tight. If he insists on getting away, I will fight him to the bitter end. I don't believe he dares to hurt me. If he dares, I will definitely complain to my senior brother and sister. I will make him pay the price!"
"Junior sister, can't you do anything else besides complaining?" Shen Lixian was amused and helpless.
"You know I love to complain. I've complained to you a lot, and you've helped me handle them, haven't you?"
"So, this is what they call good deeds will eventually pay off? I asked for it?"
"Yes."
…
Shen Lixian made her laugh so madly, how could she be so righteous?
So, Shen Lixian was dragged by Ye Linglong and Man Shurou all the way out of the Bianhua City and rushed to the bank of the Wangchuan River.
When the three of them landed, at that moment a cool breeze was blowing along the bank of the Wangchuan River. The river was very quiet, and the red spider lilies beside them were all asleep. The whole world seemed to have escaped from the impetuousness and calculations and became simple and quiet.
Only then did they realize that there were many new seedlings in this patch of red spider lilies, and it seemed that they were still in the stage of just emerging into consciousness.
This discovery made the three people feel relieved, because the surroundings were not desolate, but there were no onlookers either.
Man Shurou didn't have that many concerns in her mind. She immediately chose a position she liked and jumped over, then changed back to her original form in an instant.
A large red spider lily stood out among a group of tender and young red spider lilies, but she didn't care and swayed her body happily in the wind on the shore.
She was so immersed in it that she didn't even care whether Shen Lixian joined in behind her or not. She just swayed quietly in the wind.
At this time, Ye Linglong sat quietly beside her, sharing Man Shurou's happiness and tranquility, and quietly turned the pages of a book in the light from the Forgotten River.
This scene made Shen Lixian's heart move.
Neither of them paid any attention to him, so was he...
After a moment, Ye Linglong felt a little shadow cast on her head. There was a flower stem behind the other side of her body, and at this moment, a small petal of the other shore fell on her head.
She smiled slightly, pretending to know nothing, but her eyes involuntarily fell on the Forgotten River and saw her reflection on the river.
A huge red spider lily blossomed behind her, quietly stretching its body with the gentle breeze.
Second Brother, he is so handsome when he is being naughty.
Time seemed to stop at this harmonious moment. Ye Linglong fell asleep with the book in his arms. His head tilted and he leaned on Shen Lixian.
She was awakened by a fierce ghost on the Forgotten River. She didn't know what happened ahead and some ghost refused to reincarnate and jumped into the Forgotten River.
"I had a very comfortable sleep."
Man Shurou stretched out her flower stem. When she turned around, Shen Lixian was still in human form, sitting behind Ye Linglong for her to lean on.
When she turned around, she met Shen Lixian's eyes and sighed, "What a boring man."
Shen Lixian did not refute. He rubbed the head of Ye Linglong, who was sleeping on him but had already woken up.
"It's almost time, everyone get up."
Ye Linglong smiled and didn't expose her. She rubbed her eyes cooperatively and pretended to know nothing.
"We are leaving, Elder Man, please take good care of yourself." Ye Linglong said with a smile.
"You too."
Man Shurou also returned to her human form. She grabbed Ye Linglong's hand and placed it in her palm.
"You weren't listening when we were negotiating, but I think there's some information you might want to know."
"What news?" Ye Linglong raised his head to listen to her.
"Do you know why my grandfather was willing to give up everything to leave the underworld?"
Ye Linglong shook his head.
"Because there is no space for ascension in the underworld. Humans can ascend to become immortals through cultivation, and demons can also complete the transformation and ascend to become immortals, turning into fox immortals, flower immortals, and bird immortals, but you must have never heard of ghost immortals, right?
No one in the underworld can ascend to become an immortal. No matter how powerful or talented one is, one can only stay in the underworld forever and cannot go anywhere else.
It was mentioned in the previous introduction of 7025 that in the underworld, the cultivation levels of the Five Ghost Emperors and the Underworld Emperor have surpassed the level of transcending tribulation. Even so, they still remain in the underworld.
They have surpassed the level of transcending tribulation, and their strength is comparable to that of immortals, but in the entire underworld for so many years, there are only five of them. Even if there are more hidden ones, there will never be more than ten.
Is it because the ghosts in the underworld are not talented? Of course not.
One has to reach the stage of fusion to become the lowest-ranking ghost soldier. Even in the late stage of Mahayana, one is still a ghost messenger and has not been able to take a step forward to enter the Ghost Emperor's Palace for cultivation. Can you say this is not powerful?
But even if the tribulation in the underworld is complete, no one can ascend. Even if one surpasses the tribulation, no one can leave here.
The underworld has remained the same for thousands of years, maintaining the order after death. They seem to be fulfilling their mission, but is this really their own will?
The patriarch did not give me the answers to these questions, but I think maybe one day you will know. "
Manshurou sighed.
"Miss Ye, you are the most talented, bravest, and most capable of creating infinite possibilities that I have ever met. I don't know what you are going to do, but I hope that one day in the future, we can meet again, and then we can be well with each other."
After saying that, she looked at Shen Lixian again.
"Of course, my little cousin must be well too."
This was the first time Shen Lixian heard the word "cousin". He felt strange, but it seemed like he had nothing to refute it.
While he was still in a daze, Ye Linglong smiled and responded to Man Shurou.
"Don't worry, we will definitely meet again. When we meet again, your cousin and I will be fine."
"Then I wish you all the best and all your wishes come true. Let's go. I'll see you off."
"good."
