Chapter 102 Crisis 2
◎You demon tribe shouldn’t have many demon kings, right? One per village? ◎
Chen Xing volunteered to help with the search, constantly saying comforting words on the way, and asked Yan Yue why he could see ghosts.
Yan Yue was so annoyed that she had a headache and couldn't help but start missing Qi Zhaoyang and Bai Chen.
Qi Zhaoyang is knowledgeable, gentle and patient; Bai Chen is arrogant, talkative and venomous, but the most important point is that neither of them is as long-winded as Chen Xing!
How could she be in the mood to care about his curiosity now? But he kept asking questions about her perfunctory answers without any tact at all!
"So in your eyes, they are no different from living people? Their voices, appearances, and smiles won't change?"
Yan Yue stopped and said helplessly: "You should stay with Chu Zhi! At least you can see the fog, but she can't see anything."
Chen Xing said, "Nan Qing is here, she will remind her."
"Then you look for it on the left, and I'll go on the right." Yan Yue said as he changed direction.
Chen Xing caught up with him in two steps and said, "How can that be possible? I promised Nan Qing and Chu Zhi that I would stay by your side to protect you."
Yan Yue said impatiently: "I don't need protection, ghosts can't hurt me."
Chen Xing immediately asked, "Why can't the ghost hurt you?"
Yan Yue's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and she asked, "You're a demon, why are you so curious about ghosts in the underworld?"
Chen Xing's usually gentle eyes twinkled, and then he showed a harmless and innocent smile: "Anyone would be curious, right? I thought those cultivators saw fog just like us fairies! Now the boss can see complete ghosts and even talk to them. How strange!"
If the gleam of light that flashed across his eyes had not been too sharp, Yan Yue would almost suspect that she was seeing things.
Her heart inexplicably sank, and she tentatively said, "When most people learn there are ghosts around them, their first reaction is fear."
Chen Xing immediately followed her words and said, "I was a little scared at first! But you are a good person, and the ghost you care about is naturally not the kind of evil ghost that will harm people, so Chen Xing is not afraid anymore."
Yan Yue finally realized clearly that something was wrong with Chen Xing. because--
Monsters are not afraid of ghosts.
A demon needs to practice for at least a hundred years before he can achieve some minor accomplishments.
Before they could transform into humans, they had already seen various shapes of fog, which were ghosts.
Moreover, ghosts are imaginary entities. Under normal circumstances, demons cannot hurt ghosts, and ghosts cannot touch demons. Although the two live on the same piece of land, they do not interfere with each other and have no connection with each other.
Yan Yue deliberately said that most people would be scared if they knew there were ghosts around them, and the one referring to here is "people". But Chen Xing did just as she expected, replying to her words and even flattering her without leaving any trace.
This is why Chenxing is so likable.
He is respectful and diligent, able to read people's expressions and flatter others. That's right. For a person with such outstanding abilities, even if he becomes the shopkeeper of Banzhang Mingyue, I believe he will not be much worse than Nanqing.
But the key point is that he is a little devil who has "innocently experienced the world", a "poor little thing" who has worked as a laborer in a wealthy family for ten years but has not received any wages.
With such a tragic past, how could he be liked by everyone in the teahouse in such a short time? Chu Zhi was even willing to give up the principle of "humans and demons have different paths" for him. You know, even Bai Chen's handsome and charming face couldn't make Chu Zhi give in!
"Master, watch your step."
Chen Xing suddenly moved closer and held Yan Yue's arm. Yan Yue's alarm bells rang because of his sudden approach, and she jumped away in fright.
By the time she realized that she had overreacted, she had already jumped three steps away. Looking at Chen Xing's hand frozen in mid-air, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah, that, I'm not used to getting too close to people..."
Chen Xing's expression quickly returned to normal, but his smile seemed to have a deeper meaning: "It's okay, let's take it slow."
After Yan Yue realized that there was something wrong with Chen Xing, the hairs on her body stood up.
She is not afraid of ghosts, but monsters...
Nan Qing said that Chen Xing’s Taoism was higher than hers, but he was just “not very worldly-wise”. But if a person's words are false from the beginning, then everything he says will be doubtful.
If it is false that he has little experience in the world, then how advanced is his Taoism?
Bai Chen is the demon king, there is no need to mention how unfathomable his abilities are. Yan Yue remembered it clearly. On that day in Prince Jing's Mansion, she and the fox demon Xiaotao had fought for a long time but the outcome was still unclear. However, Bai Lu Bao flew over and kicked Xiaotao, which almost took her life! Until she left Kyoto, Xiaotao couldn't get out of bed!
If Chen Xing is more powerful than Xiao Tao, I'm afraid she is no match for him!
Yan Yue swallowed nervously, lowered his head and walked forward in silence. Chen Xing's voice came from behind again.
"The boss hasn't told Chen Xing yet, why can't the ghost hurt you?"
Yan Yue smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily: "That's right, I have the Yin-Yang eyes, and I have died once, so they will treat me as one of their own kind. We are all ghosts, so there is no need to kill each other!"
"Then, Master, do you know that the ghost demon can absorb other souls, even living souls?"
Yan Yue said vaguely: "I really don't know about this. I just rely on this Yin-Yang Eye to make a living as a charlatan. I don't understand so much..."
"Oh!" Chen Xing nodded, and then asked: "Chen Xing has another question, can the boss explain it to me?"
Yan Yue asked cautiously: "What?"
Chen Xing asked seriously: "How did Master Qi Zhaoyang get the Yin-Yang Eyes?"
Seeing Yan Yue was completely stunned, Chen Xing raised the corners of his lips again and explained with a chuckle: "I saw Chu Zhi's letter. The letter asked him to come quickly, otherwise you will be the only one who can see Mr. Jiang. It's really hard."
"Haha," Yan Yue laughed dryly, looked around, and responded, "I, don't know! He is the immortal master of Qingxu Temple, so he must have some skills..."
Chen Xing seemed to have heard a joke. He chuckled for a while and then straightened up.
He used to keep his head down and bend his body slightly, looking humble and submissive. As he straightened his body and raised his head, Yan Yue felt that his entire aura had completely changed, and there was even a sense of oppression bursting out from his body.
Under Yan Yue's vigilant gaze, Chen Xing asked with a smile: "The boss is looking for that ghost named Zhou Lin, right?"
Yan Yue's heart suddenly sank.
Sure enough, Chen Xing raised his hand slightly and hooked his fingers backwards.
The treetops moved slightly, and two people fell from the tree pulling a rope. Only when he got closer to Yan Yue did he see clearly that the rope was the soul-catching chain of the Yin Cha, and the person hooked on the soul-catching chain was Zhou Lin.
Yan Yue took it for granted that the soul-entrapment lock was hers, so she frowned and scolded him in dissatisfaction: "Why did you steal someone else's things? You are so shameless!"
Chen Xing was stunned. What was that thing of hers?
The man holding Zhou Lin's hand retorted first: "Are you tired of living? Do you think you can offend our Young Master Tugo?"
Yan Yue was stunned, "Tugo... Young Master?"
"Please allow me to introduce myself again." Chen Xing smiled and said, "My real name is Tu Ge, I am the son of the elder of the demon tribe, and I have come here specially to pay my respects to Lord Hades."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly, lowered his head and nodded in greeting.
Seeing this, Yan Yue shook her hands in anger, "I am not the God of the Underworld, you have the wrong person!"
Chen Xing remained calm and asked with a smile, "If you were not him, why would the Hades send two Yin Marshals to secretly guard you?"
Yan Yue turned around and looked around: "Yin Shuai? Where is he? How come I don't know him?"
Chen Xing said, "If I hadn't fought with those two Yin Marshals last night and been seen by that little dwarf ghost you raised, I wouldn't have planned to confront you. Since you have doubts in your heart, let's be frank!"
Yan Yue pointed to the sky and swore: "Don't even mention opening the skylight, even if you lift up the roof, I really can't do that! People who like to wear black are the gods of the underworld? Then can I stop wearing black in the future?"
She was so confident that Chen Xing was a little shaken, "You really aren't?"
Yan Yue said earnestly, "I'm really not! If I were the God of Hades, why would I waste my time talking to you? I can just draw two thunderbolts and kill you, right?"
Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it! Just come with me and you will know for yourself whether it is true or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two stepped forward.
“No, no, no!”
Yan Yue took two steps back and begged for mercy, "Brother, I am a charlatan who just wants to make a living. I haven't violated any heavenly rules, right? You can see that these two little ghosts I raised are both incompetent ghosts who can't do anything bad. Why did you arrest me?"
Chen Xing explained helplessly: "Even if you are a heinous criminal, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to confirm your identity."
Yan Yue added, "Speaking of which, we are still a family! I didn't tell you before because I was afraid to scare you. I am the disciple of your demon king! The demon king Bai Chen, do you know him?"
Chen Xing smiled even more broadly: "Of course I know him."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be willing to ease up, Yan Yue asked suspiciously, "You demon tribe, don't you have many demon kings? One in each village?"
Chen Xing burst out laughing: "Now I really believe that you are not the Dark Moon God. But whether you are or not, you must come with me."
"Why?" Yan Yue asked frustratedly.
Chen Xing took a step forward, bowed slightly, stared into her eyes and said: "Because--"
"He cares about you."
Yan Yue immediately understood that this guy was Bai Chen’s enemy!
Things have come to this, there is no point in saying more, even if we can't win, we have to fight to the death!
Yan Yue reached for his waist and just as he grasped the whip handle in his hand, before he could pull it completely, he was hit hard on the back of his neck!
She covered her neck and turned back. A strange man appeared in front of her dark eyes and cursed angrily: "You have no moral principles..."
A sneak attack! But her mind did not allow her to finish her words, and she fell limply.
Chen Xing pulled her into his arms, took the half-broken whip, and looked at it in the moonlight: "Oh, it's a whip made of the tendons of white socks!"
The man behind him was surprised and said, "Last time he suddenly came back and killed the buffalo leader who instigated us, and even skinned him. I thought he wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, but I didn't expect that he wanted to make a whip for women. It's ridiculous!"
The man holding Zhou Lin came up, pinched Yan Yue's chin and looked at her again and again, "This is what the Hades looks like! I don't think she can be the Hades with this kind of character. It's a waste of time for the young master to sneak up on her and find out more than a month."
"A waste of effort?"
Chen Xing suddenly frowned: "Then how do you explain that the Hades sent two great ghost commanders to secretly guard her?"
Seeing that he was angry, the other person quickly changed his tone and said, "Young Master, don't be angry. He can't talk. Don't bother with him! This girl is indeed unusual. Over the past few hundred years, we have killed so many people from Qingxu Temple. How could anyone be able to see and hear ghosts like her?"
"That's right!" The attacker responded, "What's more, there are hundreds of ghosts gathered in the teahouse. We have captured so many ghosts this time, and we also have two ghost commanders. It saves a lot of time compared to catching them one by one in the graveyard! After refining these ghosts, we will have enough evil spirits. Why worry that the demons will not follow the elder and the young master?"
