Chapter 187: Mu Yepeng
On the street, the little fox's expression appeared somewhat bewildered.
The things that the Wolf God recounted were things that she had never heard before.
Although Madame Green Bamboo always reminded her to walk on the right path and not the wrong path, Madame Green Bamboo had never told her why she must walk the right path.
In the past, she thought that walking the right or wrong path was almost the same thing, it was all cultivation.
However, after meeting the Wolf God, the little girl personally experienced how precious it was to have the eligibility to walk in the sun and be upright.
Both of them were demon cultivators who came to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion for medical treatment, but only the Wolf God could openly seek an audience and was respected by the countries of the South Sea, while Madame Green Bamboo could only hide her experiences in recent years and seek for help from her old friend the Great Sage of Fu Feng. Once she entered the city, she had to hide and not even dare to show her face, she was afraid of being discovered by the Mermaids in the city.
Even their methods of doing things, the Wolf God and Madame Green Bamboo, are completely different.
If Madame Green Bamboo wants this wood carving, she wouldn't kill the seller. But she will give no advantage to this mortal sailor.
If it wasn't in Fan Jie City, but outside, there would be no need to worry about the Mermaids, and it's possible that she wouldn't even give him money…
The little fox's expression was somewhat bewildered and Lu Heng didn't continue speaking.
For him, it was just idle chatting with this innocent and playful girl. After Xiao Ai put away the wooden carving, Lu Heng took the two little girls and continued shopping.
Fan Jie Mountain is bustling nowadays and for Lu Heng, who's used to staying indoors, the crowded streets were a unique and refreshing experience.
Especially the different races passing by on the streets, and the various strange and exotic clothing…these peculiar foreign styles were something that he couldn't see in his past life.
Like the three-headed people who argue while walking, the pitch-black Fire Hating Country citizens, and the seemingly weak but actually incredibly strong Mermaids…and occasionally a few pale-skinned citizens from the Immortal Kingdom.
All of these different races, along with the various exotic beasts they travel with, and some strange demon cultivators, formed a scene of "chaos", full of fantastical images that made Lu Heng feel elated.
This kind of "chaos" is something that The Fire Pass Country, with its stable human order, cannot see.
Up ahead, a fully-armored crocodile walks alongside a beautiful girl with long rabbit ears, and the slightly buck-toothed girl is sweetly and intimately cooing to the monster that looks completely like a crocodile…
In the rear, a three-headed person was arguing in front of a small stall. The middle head looked depressed, while the left and right heads were quarreling across the middle head. As they cursed, they even spat at each other. Most of the saliva landed on the hair of the middle head.
On the left side, a white-bearded old man in a gray robe held a wooden staff and performed illusions with a smile on his face. He lightly tapped the staff on the ground, and a green shoot sprouted from the cracks between the blue stone-paved floor. The old man chuckled and chanted "grow… grow… grow…" The green shoot rapidly grew larger and taller, and soon became a giant, thick vine as big as three people hugging, reaching up so high that the top could not be seen.
On the right side, a giant dog as tall as two men was lying lazily on the ground with its eyes half-closed and a collar around its neck. A short and muscular man was holding a whip and loudly shouting, "Selling exotic giant dog puppies… only two years old, the true infancy period. Buy one to protect your house and never worry about demonic attacks again."
These dazzling street scenes weren't just entertaining to Lu Heng; Xiao Ai and the little fox were also riveted, unable to take their eyes off, stopping to pause at many places.
Even the two little girls who used to meditate in the mountain have never seen such a lively scene before. They were immediately drawn to it.
Even Little Gu Yan was thoroughly enjoying himself, forgetting all about his best friend Miss Huo Feng.
Lu Heng took them around until midnight and witnessed the ceremony of Fan Jie Mountain of opening its door to the sky and guiding the moon's radiance.
Although the ceremony was simple, it consisted of opening the huge rock in the middle of Fan Jie Mountain and using an array to direct the outside moon radiance into the enclosed mountain.
However, after the ceremony, one could visibly feel the liveliness of this hermetically sealed mountain increase.
This is probably the essential reason why the ordinary vegetation can grow even though this place is located inside the mountain and receives no sunlight.
During their window shopping, Lu Heng and his friends coincidentally ran into Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi twice from a distance.
However, Lu Heng and the others tacitly avoided disturbing the two who seemed to have already developed a harmonious relationship.
Huo Feng, who had been unable to accept reality after becoming a woman, showed no significant difference from an ordinary woman in just a few hours.
Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh that under external pressure, human progress can be fast.
From then on, Lian Caiyi stayed at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
And every night, she snuggled up with Miss Huo Feng, as close as sisters. At first, Huo Feng kept refusing and resisting, but after a few days, she no longer complained when she saw her.
During the day, the two of them were companions and at night, they slept in the same room. Occasionally, there were sounds of laughter and playfulness, just like best friends.
Upon Lian Caiyi's strong request, Miss Huo Feng's clothes gradually became more neutral from the initial masculine look.
After that, Lian Caiyi persistently persuaded her to wear her first skirt.
Afterwards, Miss Huo Feng's attire became increasingly feminine. In the end, whether it was her makeup, clothing, hairstyle, or facial features, she was no different from any other woman.
She was exceptionally beautiful, not weaker than the Demon Woman at all.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Lu Heng.
Upon returning, he secluded himself once again, and took the opportunity to study the unique wooden statue of the woman.
However, despite studying it for a long time, he had no results.
The wooden statue of the woman didn't emit any divine light and appeared to be ordinary. Upon careful inspection, the internal structure was also plain, lacking any magic array or engraving.
The only exception was that this wooden statue could not be destroyed by Lu Heng's heavenly lightning, as it was abnormally hard.
Despite Lu Heng putting all his effort into a strike of his heavenly lightning, the wooden statue remained completely still and unscathed, as if nothing had happened.
Such a situation left Lu Heng extremely surprised.
This wooden statue was without doubt the toughest object Lu Heng had seen since he began his journey. Even the War General, who was hit by heavenly lightning, would suffer some injuries, yet the statue endured the attack without so much as a scratch…
Apart from its toughness, Lu Heng pondered for many days and still could not find anything unusual about the wooden statue.
Thus, he temporarily set aside the statue and refocused his energy on interpreting the "Demon Sutra" and "Divine Skill".
Lu Heng desires to derive a cultivation method of his own, but presently cannot afford to spend his time on an obscure wooden carving.
In any case, keeping it at hand, sooner or later he will catch a glimpse of the truth if fate permits.
——Just like the ancient book Gongshu Jie had given him before.
Lu Heng didn't pay any attention to the ancient book. However, he never expected that the content of "Demon Sutra" would be revealed when he entered the mystical stele forest.
Presently, apart from deducing cultivation methods, Lu Heng is also waiting for the arrival of the Treasure Conference.
On the day when the Treasure Conference is held, it is also the day when the black water recedes in the South Sea Deep Trench, and he can go to the sea to gather flowers.
Wu Gu has already been to the Mermaid Kingdom once and persuaded the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom to allow Lu Heng to go to the sea and pick flowers on that day. All Lu Heng has to do now is wait.
The Bamboo Garden has returned to its former tranquility.
The little fox has settled down and her elder has reportedly left Fan Jie mountain. Leaving the little fox to Wu Gu, the elder is at ease.
Lu Heng never had the opportunity to meet the other person until they left.
Otherwise, he really wanted to meet this innocent and beautiful little fox's senior. She must be a righteous demon cultivator who could raise such a lovely little girl.
Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi's relationship grew stronger through their days spent together. They went everywhere hand in hand, almost inseparable, like sisters.
Of course, even Lu Heng could see Huo Feng's resistance.
But in order to play the identity of "Miss Huo Feng" well, she had to obediently follow Lian Caiyi's manipulation.
Thanks to the Demon Woman's legacy, Lian Caiyi had the qualification to participate in the Treasure Conference. As the date approached, Lian Caiyi took Huo Feng and left Fan Jie Mountain, entering the Mermaid Kingdom, and having fun in the underwater Mermaid Kingdom.
Little Gu Yan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lu Heng.
To comfort the bird that was so badly hit, before leaving, Huo Feng secretly told Lu Heng to give the fat bird that had been locked up all along to Gu Yan for him to eat.
This fat bird followed Lu Heng and his team all the way, originally intended as a gift for Wu Gu.
But now that Wu Gu didn't need it, the fat bird stayed behind, lazily lying in its cage all day long. Having been to the Immortal Kingdom, entered the Underworld, and witnessed the power of Erba God Man…the South Sea trip was an epic tale for this fat bird.
Sadly, in the end, it couldn't escape the fate of becoming food, and was sent by Huo Feng to be eaten by Gu Yan.
However, after Lu Heng gave the fat bird to Gu Yan, the little Gu eagle circled around the cage for a while, surprisingly chose not to eat the fat bird, but instead, whined and cried for a long time, half-bullying and half-forcing the fat bird to stick with it and play with it in the future.
It seems that after Huo Feng left, Gu Yan was indeed a little lonely…
Naturally, the fat bird had no objection to this request.
So, these two birds often flew together to play and frolic in the city. However, while the fat bird was free from the cage, it always appeared to be lazy and sluggish, as if it was ready to be eaten by Gu Yan anytime.
Lu Heng was bored and guided the fat bird to cultivate the demonic cultivation method.
Surprisingly, this fat bird, despite appearing to be lazy, had decent talent and quickly learned to guide spiritual energy into its body, cultivating alongside Gu Yan.
And within the ghost realm, those ghosts who were sitting and cultivating on the barren land had finally taken the right path. Occasionally, when Lu Heng went to observe the ghost realm, he could see the eerie aura around them. Compared to the beginning, these ghosts now had the appearance of ghost cultivators.
However, it may take a long time to completely transform into ghost cultivators.
But Lu Heng was not in a hurry.
In the netherworld, these souls don't have to worry about dispersal. They have at least tens of years of ghost life. Based on the level of their cultivation before their death, they can now apply their skills to ghost cultivation.
Several decades of ghost longevity is enough for everyone to become a true ghost cultivator.
By then, the construction project of the ghostly netherworld can be put on track.
Everything seems to be going smoothly.
However, Huo Feng from the Mermaid Kingdom has recently encountered some worrying issues.
The Mermaid Kingdom is an underwater city completely different from the land cities.
Houses and buildings immersed in seawater need to be regularly cleaned of barnacles.
Walking on the streets of the Mermaid Kingdom, the people passing by with their fluttering clothes and fabrics flowing in the water can be slightly obstructive.
However, those wearing cumbersome clothing are all visitors from the land. The people of the Mermaid Kingdom don't wear clothing.
The Mermaids' body is covered with a level of fine scales, which can protect their privacy, body, and facilitate swimming in the sea. In the Mermaid Kingdom, only the noble royal aristocrats wear clothing during their travels, because they need to show off their status.
There is no hot food here. All the food is fresh sashimi, where the most delicious part of the fish is selected and served directly.
Of course, being the most prosperous capital of the Mermaid Kingdom, the city also has restaurants open to land tourists.
Some restaurants even use formations to empty the seawater and create an underwater space with air for the land guests who are not used to fresh seafood.
Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi, now, just walked out of such a restaurant.
Crossing the fresh air courtyard, with the expectant gazes of beautiful maids, the two beautiful women walked out of the gate, through a transparent film, and stepped into the street outside.
The icy seawater rushed in, instantly submerging the two figures.
But this experience was not the first time, and even Huo Feng was used to it now.
Swimming fish passed by their side and burrowed into the coral on the roadside. If it weren't for the street buildings in front of them, one would almost think that they had just simply dived into the sea.
Outside the restaurant, the two women smiled at each other. Lian Caiyi was about to speak, but at this moment an annoying voice sounded.
"Hahaha… It seems that my luck is really good. I didn't expect to meet Miss Caiyi and Miss Huo Feng again."
Amidst hearty laughter, a tall and sturdy figure walked towards them from the other end of the street, surrounded by a group of men and women.
They were all cultivators, and their cultivation was not low.
However, everyone followed the lead of the tall man, who was currently laughing loudly and walking towards Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi.
Upon seeing this man, Lian Caiyi's expression turned cold, and she immediately stood in front of Huo Feng, saying coldly,
"Mu Yepeng, you really are persistent. We run into you every day… Do you really want to die that badly? Want to leave the city and fight right now?"
Lian Caiyi's expression was displeased, but the man called Mu Yepeng laughed heartily and said,
"If you want to fight, I would love to. But not just with you, Miss Caiyi, I want to fight with both of you ladies together… Hahaha…"
Mu Yepeng's smile was lewd, but his eyes were cold and emotionless.
He stopped a few meters away with his group of men and women, issuing a provocative message as if teasing them.
Lian Caiyi and Huo Feng's expressions were both not looking good.
The man before them was a berserker, a lover of battles with different opponents, who has achieved great renown thanks to his iron fists.
Decades ago, after accidentally meeting Lian Caiyi and learning of her status as a Demon Woman, he swore to conquer this scourge to prove his strength.
Relying on his iron fists, he nearly beat Lian Caiyi to death, attempting to force her to submit to his might. However, Lian Caiyi used a secret technique to blind one of his eyes, which has yet to recover.
Thus, a feud was born between them, and it so happens that they both attended the Treasure Conference in the Mermaid Kingdom, leading to a fated meeting.
For the past six days, Lian Caiyi and Huo Feng encountered this scoundrel at least twice a day, constantly being harassed.
Especially after seeing Miss Huo Feng's beauty, this guy became even more excited and publicly declared that he would make both women surrender to him.
Now that they had met again, even the elegant and graceful Demon Woman, such as Lian Caiyi, was annoyed to the point of anger.
Huo Feng behind her had an even colder expression in his eyes.
The moment Mu Yepeng appeared, Huo Feng instinctively clenched his fist. Along with a flash of killing intent in his eyes, a faint aura of demon leaked out.
However, this trace of demon qi quickly disappeared and none of the people present noticed it…
