Kaos continued to search through the huge bookshelves…
Some skill books had powerful restrictions placed on them, preventing them from being stored in space. It was also because his space was unable to penetrate and break the divine power seal, or because he was afraid that forcefully breaking it would destroy the skill books. Right now, he already had a large stack of books in his hands…It was still because he was not strong enough.
He had no choice…He had to resort to this…
The corridor was silent. Only the luminous pearls on the wall were shining with a dim yellow light. Qiong Xiao quietly stayed in the corner. She didn't dare to easily walk out of the range of the qi shield wall, but she also had a fear of being discovered at any time.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a figure rushing over from afar. As he walked in, he could tell that it was Kaos. However, at this moment, he was carrying a huge coffin on his shoulder. However, such a heavy wooden coffin looked like a few thin pieces of cardboard on his shoulder. Zhao Gongming looked carefully and realized that it was actually suspended on his shoulder by an invisible airflow.
"Hurry up and leave." Kaos walked to a corner and reminded Zhao Gongming and the Three Sky Fairies. Then, he turned around and quickly retreated along the path he came from.
"Is this what you're looking for?……A coffin?" Bixiao asked in surprise.
Before Bixiao could gather her gaze, she saw Zhao Gongming's figure flash and appear in front of her. He covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at the top of her head.
"Everyone, hide your shen power and don't speak.”After Kaos finished speaking, countless swirling air currents surrounded them." I can't guarantee it, but I'll try…"
Zhao Gongming looked at Kaos and suddenly understood. Kaos was trying to make them all invisible. "Don't move, don't even blink."”
After saying that, Zhao Gongming leaned against the stone wall and sat down.
East God Clan. At the border of the West God Clan
The quiet forest was now shrouded in the afterglow of the warm winter.
The forest was not dense nor tall. One could tell that it was a young suburban forest. In the middle of the forest, there was a road that wasn't spacious but was relatively flat. There were traces of wheels left behind by carriages on the road. For a small town that was not densely populated, this road could be considered a traffic artery.
At this moment, the rich fragrance of rice wafted out of the window of a station built with red wood by the roadside. The shopkeeper stood on the windowsill near the road, bending over to repair the loose wooden wedge on the window lattice.
The sudden gust of wind had come at this moment.
The shopkeeper turned around and was dazzled by countless white lights. When his vision gradually recovered, five young men with extraordinary auras appeared at the entrance of the relay station. At this moment, the wooden signboard with the words " relay station " hanging on the door was swaying back and forth in the wind, making creaking sounds.
"We'll stay in the hotel." The silver-haired youth in red robes said.
"Sir, I'm sorry. Our rooms are all full.”A waiter wearing a thick sheepskin coat at the door rubbed his hands that were red from the cold wind and bowed to apologize to the guest standing at the door.
" Please try your best to help me…We'll arrange it." The person paused for a moment, took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, and placed it in the hands of the attendant." This is the third relay station we've asked about. Look, it's almost dark. If it doesn't work, we'll have to stay in the open air in the snow.”
The attendant was shocked by the stack of silver notes in his hand. Even if he booked the entire relay station, these silver notes were enough.
"Sir, are you from Zhaoge, the capital?”The attendant bowed humbly, not daring to move his hand that was holding the silver notes. He was so careful that it was as if he was holding his own life.
"Yes, that's right. What's wrong?" The young man frowned, seemingly a little displeased.
" Nothing, nothing." The waiter hurriedly nodded and explained," In a border town like ours, most of the currency in circulation is copper coins. The occasional silver dollar is already considered a rich family. You gave me a stack of silver notes, so I guess you must be nobles of Zhaoge.”
"We do come from Zhaoge, but we are not nobles. Our family is a businessman. We mainly export some special spices and make some money. Sir, please arrange it." The person standing at the side spoke. His face was covered by a purple-black hood. In the dark night, only a deep outline could be seen. As for his facial features, they were all blurred by the shadows cast by the eaves.
"Then come in first. It's windy outside. I'll ask our owner. Please take a seat here and wait a moment.”The waiter brought the guests into the lobby of the courier station and invited them to sit down on the carved bench at the door. Then, he turned around and went into the inner room. After a while, another person walked out.
"We only have two guest rooms here. Two boys live in one room, and three girls have to work a little harder. I'll get you an extra bed. " My name is Tuote," the shopkeeper said as he walked back to the counter behind the window and flipped through the ledger in his hand." As expected, there are only two rooms left. I remember correctly."”He walked out, looked at the few of them, and said,"You guys don't have luggage?"
A person in a purple-black robe sat on a bench in the corridor at the door. When he turned his head, he could see the scene in the lobby of the relay station.
It was dinnertime, and the rows of long black wooden tables were filled with people eating. Judging from their attire and the aura in their eyes, they were all experts who used shen power. Judging from the divine power he sensed, the East God Clan and the West God Clan each had half of their descendants.
However, the divine power that he could sense was nothing. At the level of gods, when they were not in combat, their divine power was hidden deep in their bodies. People who were not proficient in perception generally could not discover their existence.
But…
"What is this? How could he bring such a thing into the shop! Stop joking!" Thoth was frightened by the pitch-black coffin in front of him. His face was as red as a pig's liver." Take it out quickly! I'm still doing business. It's too unlucky!”
"Zhao Gongming, did you do this on purpose?" The purple-black hooded man turned around and narrowed his eyes at the red-robed youth.
"Big Brother, how would I know that you placed this coffin behind you? Besides, you were the one who made it invisible, okay?! I was just passing behind you. How did I know I would knock it down?”Zhao Gongming pulled over a stool by the table and sat down. He spread his hands and had an expression that said," It's none of my business."
Fifteen minutes later, the purple-black hooded young man held the coffin with one hand and the counter with the other. He tried his best to bargain with Thoth, and in the middle of it, he said something unbelievable.
"You can think of it as an ornament, like a bookcase or something. This wood is very shiny and beautiful, isn't it?”
"Uncle, can you do me a favor? The only family heirloom my mother left me was this coffin. My mother told me to carry it with me!”
"Alright, I admit that I've been lying just now. This is actually my wardrobe.”
………………
Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sweat.
In the end, the black-hooded youth carried the huge coffin and walked back. He placed the coffin on the ground and rolled his eyes. He took a deep breath and said,"He said that if I had to bring this coffin with me, then I would sleep in the woodshed at the back of the relay station.”
"That's great. You can give me your bed!”Cloudsky's joy was written directly on his face, but immediately, he realized the hidden meaning in the words that he blurted out.
She quickly added," I mean…I didn't mean to say that I want to sleep with Brother…I just…I just…" Her face looked like a ripe apple under the bright lights in the lobby. Her shy expression made Zhao Gongming, who was sitting beside her, blush.
Just as the purple-black hooded youth was about to speak, he suddenly heard footsteps and bell-like laughter behind him, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine.
"Aiya, little Kaos, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're finally here! Go to your room and change your clothes. You're too thin. The weather in Border City is very cold.”
The guest turned his head and saw a person walking towards Kaos, speaking while extending his arms to welcome him. She was wearing a dark blue robe. Although she looked luxurious, it was not a valuable battle robe. It was just a luxurious embroidered robe with exquisite folk craftsmanship. Her purple hair was unusually flirtatious and dazzling. Her face was surrounded by this light, making her look noble and elegant. Her eyes looked like a blue lake, unfathomable, but there was a faint domineering aura of royalty.
" Aunt Lilith…" Kaos howled helplessly.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought something happened to you on the way. I was very worried. Come, let's go to the room." As she spoke, the purple-haired woman had already walked in front of her. She looked taller than she had guessed from afar. She bent down and gave the attendant a silver dollar. Then, she said to the attendant," The room I booked earlier is for these guests. You can go ahead and do your work."”
The attendant took the tip and nodded happily before leaving.
"Zhao Gongming, Kaos isn't sensible. Don't blame him. You've traveled a long way, so you'll probably be staying at your station tonight.”Lilith said gently. She had a sweet smile on her delicate face, which made her look especially charming.
Kaos turned around and rolled his eyes at Lilith.
Lilith's Room
"As the highest leader of the demon race, Princess Lilith. But he wouldn't come to this small town casually, right?”Kaos stood in front of Lilith and questioned her.
"Please, we raised you! She's like your second mother!”Lilith played with her hair and said playfully.
"This time, I came here to tell you something. The Celestial race, Demon race, and Dragon race have signed an agreement. They will no longer start wars between the various worlds like they did in the past. They will not invade each other. To show their sincerity, the various races have gathered their important generals and leaders to establish the Three Realms Academy.”
"Not interested…That's it?”
"This is it. I'm not here for anything else. I just want to inform you that if you want to come to school in the future, you can look for me directly. I'll be the dean in the future, okay?”
"Boring." With a flash, Kaos disappeared from Princess Lilith's sight.
" This child…" Princess Lilith smiled and shook her head.
