Monster Riot
"You must be exhausted these days." The old man gently stroked his back. "Now that I'm awake, you won't have to be so tired anymore."
"I'm so tired, and so is my junior brother." She cried breathlessly, burying her head in his chest, "Brother, I miss you, and I miss my junior sister too."
"Yeah." The old man stroked the back of his neck. "I know."
"Master is awake, why are you still sleeping?" Leng Can pushed the door open and came in with a set of clean clothes, and started chatting with her.
"My senior brother said that Master is almost recovered and just needs to slowly recuperate."
Putting the clothes beside the couch, he first checked her breath, then went to the inner room to bring a basin of hot water, skillfully covered her eyes with a silk cloth, and fumbled to wipe her body and change her clothes.
"I'm going to the human world tomorrow to buy you some nice clothes. Even when you're asleep, you need to look nice. You never care about these things, so I'll take this rare opportunity to dress you up."
"I know you're very clean. Even though you don't care about the difference between men and women, I'm still shy. Even though we're bound to be together for life, it's still early. You're still not sober. I'm not the type to do bad things."
Over time, Leng Can went from being so unskilled that he felt hot all over at the beginning to being able to run around the room with his eyes closed.
Leng Can undressed Cong Mo bit by bit, wet a towel, and began to wipe her body.
"Xiao Mo, I'm actually quite imaginative. If I were wiping your body and you suddenly woke up and called me a 'hooligan', even though I'd get scolded, I'd probably be very happy."
"But from what I know about you, you wouldn't scold me, but would ask curiously, 'Why did I touch your body with my hands?' When I think of this, I even have some hope of living. But when will you wake up and look at me? I have changed a lot. My hair is combed more neatly, and my clothes are more formal. I don't like to dress up like a peacock as before. My senior brother said that I seem to have turned into you, haha... But how can I be as powerful as you? Xiaomo is the most powerful person, right? Xiaomo, I..."
“…I missed you so much.”
Tears seeped through the silk cloth. Leng Can turned his head away, took a deep breath, suppressed the stabbing pain in his heart, and turned back with a smile. "By the way, the new pastries I made recently are very delicious and sweet, but they take a little time to make. You can try them when you wake up. You will definitely like them. I will make a lot for you and you have to eat them all."
"Yan Huo has been very obedient to me recently. Did you tell him in your dream to stop getting angry with me?"
"Muxue keeps talking about you and has made you many beautiful necklaces and jewelry. Her skills in this area have improved dramatically recently. She can definitely go to the human world to set up a stall and make money. And more..."
He said so many words, as if he couldn't stop, but in the entire empty room, only his voice was echoing.
As if suffering from hysteria, asking and answering questions to myself,
He also hoped that God would give him a surprise, and when he took off the silk cloth, he would see Cong Mo who could talk to him, who was warm and could even scold him.
Leng Can closed his eyes and took a long time to calm down before he pushed back the tears that had accumulated in his eyes.
When will he stop crying? But...
When Xiaomo is around, he can act like a spoiled child and cry without restraint.
Xiaomo, never get angry with him.
"Sleep well." After putting on his clothes, he helped Cong Mo lie down with red eyes, "I will be here forever."
He used a magic tool to check Cong Mo's body.
"How is it?" He knocked on the door. "Can I come in?"
"I'm going out." Leng Can looked at Cong Mo deeply and pushed the door open to go out.
"Does this state of the magical instrument indicate that its spiritual power is full?"
"It does show that my spiritual power has almost recovered."
"Then why isn't Xiaomo awake yet?" Leng Can frowned.
He shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."
"It can only be done this way." Leng Can lowered his eyes, hiding his loneliness. When he raised his head, he was calm again. "He will wake up eventually."
"…Um."
In the afternoon of the second day, the two flew to the human world on their swords and arrived in the human world in the evening.
As soon as you enter the capital, you can feel the extraordinary hustle and bustle. Most of the stalls have already started to pack up and prepare for the night business. The owner of the lantern riddle shop is picking up his pen to write various riddles on slips of paper. The officers and soldiers are dressed in casual clothes and are helping the people prepare to set up their stalls. A stage has been set up in front of Chunfeng Tower. I heard that this is because their boss has married a young man this year and is in a very good mood. He plans to hold a dance party during the Lantern Festival for everyone to enjoy. Lanterns of various colors beside the stage pillars reflect a different night.
The Lantern Festival feast had not yet fully begun. Leng Can and Yu went to the fabric store to buy some fabrics. They told the store owner the proportions of Cong Mo and the old man Qingyi and told him to pick them up after the clothes were made. Then they went to the teahouse to have tea and watch a play, planning to buy other things in the evening.
"The new emperor has no children, so he seeks a talented person. Anyone can go and report that the world will prosper."
"Your Majesty has no children?" He propped his chin up, listening to the passionate voice of the storyteller on the stage, and asked, "Didn't they say that Your Majesty and the General are husband and wife?"
"A couple doesn't need to give birth to a child. They are together because they love each other. Love is a matter between the two of them. Adding a child doesn't prove anything." Leng Can didn't react much, just savoring the snack in his hand. "This snack is a little sweet, but the skin is very crispy. I'll ask the store how they make it later."
"Ah... you've come up with so many delicious snacks these days," he teased. "With your skills, you'd definitely make a lot of money if you opened a shop in the human world."
"That's not a bad idea." Leng Can smiled faintly, "When Xiaomo doesn't want to stay in Wuqing Mountain anymore, I will bring her to the human world to open a pastry shop and make her favorite food every day."
"If I go then, will you accept my money?"
"Of course..." Leng Can stretched out his tone, "...I do. Brothers should settle accounts clearly."
"Haha... money-grubber..."
"Hmph... Same here."
In the evening, the two of them first went to buy some meat, candy, and some new snacks and toys, and then went to buy some toiletries, perfumes, and body washes.
"That's about it, do you need anything else?"
Two slender figures stood on the street corner. One of them wore a thick hat and held a basket of things, watching the other aloof young man counting the silver and the purchased items.
Leng Can put away the notebook, stuffed it into his sleeve, and straightened his hat for Xi. "That should be all. Wait..."
Suddenly,
A foul smell passed through his nose, interrupting his words.
This is... the smell of monsters.
He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the smell. An extremely familiar figure was running towards the distance.
"wrong."
"What's wrong... Ouch..." Leng Can stuffed all the things into his arms, "A monster has come to the human world. I'll be back soon. Brother, please wait for me in the teahouse."
Before Xi could react, Leng Can disappeared in a flash.
He shook his head helplessly. Ever since Leng Can borrowed Cong Mo's spiritual power to reshape his body, not only has his cultivation speed increased, his physical fitness has been enhanced, he has even gained her unique abilities.
Although not as sensitive as Cong Mo, if the distance is too close, he can clearly smell the scent of monsters and spiritual creatures and make a judgment accordingly.
"What kind of monster is it?" Leng Can flew on his sword at an unusually fast speed. He soon followed the black shadow to a corner and forced it into a dead end. The monster hid in the darkness of the wall and disappeared without a trace.
He jumped off the sword, put the sword in his hand, closed his eyes, and breathed heavily. As the wind blew his hair across his cheeks, he stood up with the sword and slashed at a black shadow on the wall. Screams came from the black shadow. Leng Can took over and continued to attack until the monster could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, dying.
Leng Can pointed his sword at him, "What is your purpose in causing chaos in the human world?"
"Hiss..." The monster roared at him twice, stretched out its bright red tongue and sharp yellow teeth, bit off its tongue, and hanged itself to death.
"Zizi..." Leng Can took out the magic weapon and put it inside, rubbing his eyebrows in annoyance.
Perhaps because he contains Cong Mo's spiritual power in his body, he can also sense something about the things in the demon world.
I've been having nightmares a lot lately, and I feel uneasy. After such a long time, the demon world should be taking action.
He turned around and looked at the bustling street, which formed a natural contrast with the deserted and bloody here.
He suddenly understood why the fairy mountain was born and why Cong Mo was desperately trying to protect the people.
Such a beautiful place,
He didn't want the world to fall into chaos.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
Leng Can was called back to his senses. He looked down and saw a little girl calling him.
"What's wrong?" Leng Can put away his stiff expression and smiled at her.
The little girl showed an adult-like expression and tugged at his clothes, "Grandma said it's not safe here, you don't have to stay here."
"I'll take you away now." Leng Can bent down and picked her up. "When did you come?"
"I followed the young master here." The little girl was very excited. "The young master can fly on a sword and defeat strange things. He is like the handsome brother described in the storybooks."
"Really?" Leng Can smiled along with her, and a talisman appeared in his hand. Taking advantage of the little girl's happiness, he placed it on the back of her neck. "Where is your home? I'll take you back. Don't come here with strangers next time."
"Handsome brother is not a bad person." The little girl pouted and argued for him.
"Well, but not all handsome brothers are bad people." Leng Can pointed at the talisman and put two fingers together to cast a spell. This was something he learned from the book left by Cong Mo.
This spell can fade memory, and the little girl can forget everything after just one night of sleep.
In the past, he had always been dismissive of this. Leng Can shook his head, helplessly thinking that he had probably never anticipated that he and Cong Mo would have to part ways. In his heart, they should always be together. Even though he had a lot of resentment towards her at that time, he had never thought of parting with her.
"My home is there." The little girl was very cute. She grabbed Leng Can's finger and pointed to a place not far away.
"Okay, I'll take you back."
