Chapter 134 Let him know why the flowers are so red
Meanwhile, Mu Jianjian, having left Jingxu Garden, headed alone to Duan Yuechi.
On the way, she was reminded by the system that she had two chances to draw blind boxes. Unable to save up enough, Mu Jianjian immediately chose to draw a single box, only to be told that all the blind boxes were empty.
Adding to her frustration, the spirit orb she had previously extracted had yet to materialize, which infuriated her so much that she cursed the system the entire way.
About five days later, they finally arrived at the Duan Yuechi region. Upon entering the region, all they saw was gloom and death. Everywhere they looked, there were cultivators wearing black cloaks hurrying along. Even though it was broad daylight, it gave people an inexplicable sense of darkness and silence.
Wearing the Human Skin Mask 2.0, she walked down the street and stopped when she saw a book stall next to her. Curious, she picked up a book and flipped through it. Just as she was about to casually ask Linghu where his family lived, the stall owner spoke up.
"You can tell from this that you are a visitor from out of town. Shall I introduce you to the local customs?"
Mu Jianjian's interest was immediately piqued, and seeing the other person reach out, she instinctively handed over a spirit stone as well. "What?"
"If you are just passing by Duan Yuechi, then I would advise you not to enter the inner city," the old man in the black robe muttered incoherently.
Why?
Mu Jianjian knew that Duan Yuechi was divided into inner and outer cities, and she was planning to enter the inner city to find Linghu Zhuoyu, but she did not expect the locals to say such things.
"It's alright if it's a man, but women can't enter the inner city. There was a woman who entered the inner city once, but she was thrown into the snake pit by Miss Linghu afterward," the old man sighed.
"Miss Linghu?" Mu Jianjian didn't immediately realize who the other person was talking about.
The original book never mentions that Linghu Zhuoyu has any older or younger sisters.
"It's Linghu..." The old man lowered his voice and was about to say the name when a scream rang out in the street. Mu Jianjian looked over and saw a little girl who had fallen in the middle of the road staring at the monster coming towards her, frozen in fear, while the child's mother was shouting for help on the other side.
Its four claws were as thick as tree trunks, and its enormous body was covered with various colorful ribbons, each supporting a small and exquisite wooden chamber. The beads on the ceiling of the chamber swayed and jingled as the monster ran.
It's easy to imagine that there was someone sitting in the wooden chamber above the monster, completely oblivious to the screams.
In a private room of a teahouse by the street, a black-haired boy quietly sipped his tea. If one ignored the thin black and red snake wrapped around his neck, one might be fooled by his angelic appearance. On the other side of the table sat a brother and sister dressed in elaborate attire.
The man in the dark blue robe by the window noticed the movement by the bed and raised an eyebrow. "Master Chi, look, the eldest son of the Luo family is exorcising demons and trampling on people again. The Luo family head covered up what happened last time, but he doesn't seem to have learned his lesson at all."
The girl beside the man wore a tight-fitting dress that perfectly accentuated her figure, with a purple scarf wrapped around her slender arms. She paid no attention to her brother's words, focusing all her attention on the handsome young man, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
Linghu Zhuoyu remained silent, watching the tea leaves swirl in the porcelain bowl, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.
I wonder when my sister will arrive...
On the street below the teahouse, Mu Jianjian frowned. Just a second before the monster was about to step on the girl with its claws, she flashed to the girl's side, hugged her, and quickly retreated to the side of the street, causing the monster to miss its step.
The person in the wooden room didn't hear any screams, but instead made an unexpected "Huh?" sound.
The old man running the bookstall saw this and thought to himself, "Oh no!"
The eldest son of the Luo family has a perverse hobby of driving monsters to trample on life in the streets. No one in the inner city cares, and no one in the outer city dares to do anything about it. Now that this young friend has just entered the city and has already provoked the eldest son of the Luo family, he will probably have a hard time surviving.
Just as the old man was about to apologize and offer his help, considering the other party's generosity in giving him spirit stones, he heard the girl who had put the little girl down speak up.
"Could you please ask the monster to watch where it's going? It's dangerous for it to be running around like that in a crowded place. It almost stepped on this little girl just now." Mu Jianjian's serious voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it reached everyone present with exceptional clarity.
The woman hugged her daughter, whom she had lost and found again. Still in shock, she watched everything that had happened before her, covered the mouth of the little girl who was about to cry, struggled for a moment, but still quietly retreated into the crowd, not wanting to get involved in this matter.
Linghu Zhuoyu, who had been indifferent in the teahouse, thought he was hallucinating for a moment when he heard this voice.
elder sister?
Mu Jianjian didn't intend to make a big fuss. She thought she had finished speaking very calmly and wanted to leave, but she didn't expect that the people in the demon beast's wooden room would not remain silent for long before a vicious voice came out.
"Tread on blood, chase her to death, stomp her to death and then eat her."
Upon hearing the name, Mu Jianjian immediately realized that the other party's actions were probably intentional, not "unintentional" as she had described.
She stared at the monster as it roared, its sharp teeth bulging from the corners of its mouth, with clear liquid even oozing out, yet she remained completely unmoved.
They even began to think about how to perfectly resolve this matter and let the person in the wooden room know why the flowers are so red.
