The gray cloak fluttered as its owner walked, and the weak airflow produced lifted the dust on the ground and stained the lower hem of the cloak.
The sword hanging on his waist and the wine gourd made a small sound as they walked. This was the only sound they made on the way.
Yun Xichen walked on a path that was formed by a human or a demon. Her steps were vigorous, but there was a hint of tiredness on her face.
It had been more than a month since he left Mud Mountain. He knew where he had lived when he was Shi Lei, so he set out on his journey. Yun Xichen did not use the most convenient Wind Manipulation Technique to hurry along. Instead, he walked slowly like an ordinary person. He had originally planned to enjoy the scenery along the way, but he did not expect that after the initial excitement, there would only be boredom left.
My temperament still needs to be strengthened. Yun Xichen quickened his pace and tried to find an inn before sunset. He had been sleeping on the hard and rough tree trunk these days and missed the soft and comfortable bed very much.
Hard work paid off. At noon, the Cloud Car Wash found a small town.
Yes, the residents inside were humans.
Yun Xichen cast a spell to hide his identity as a fox demon and walked into the inn in the town. Perhaps it was not time yet or some other reason, but the entire inn was deserted. The plump shopkeeper was leaning against the counter and dozing off. Two waiters with rags on their shoulders were wiping the tables slowly in boredom. They did not notice Yun Xichen's arrival.
Yun Xichen, who was standing at the door, felt a little awkward. She cleared her throat and said loudly," Is the shop owner in?"”
The plump shopkeeper jumped down from the stool to welcome Yun Xichen with a vigorous movement that did not match his figure. His sleepy expression became energetic, and his eyes were almost invisible on his smiling face. He warmly welcomed Yun Xichen." Guest, are you here to wait or to stay?"”
Yun Xichen took out an ingot of silver and threw it into the fat shopkeeper's arms. He yawned and said," I'm staying here. This is the deposit. Get a superior room. Don't disturb me if there's nothing else. I want to have a good sleep."”
"Please wait a moment." The fat shopkeeper smiled obsequiously as he took the key and called out," Waiter, quickly bring this customer to the first room in the sky!”
"Alright!" A waiter took the keys and gestured for them to come in." This way, please."”
Yun Xichen followed the waiter to Heaven No. 1 Room and told the waiter not to disturb him for no reason before closing the door and locking it. He looked around. Although the decorations in the inn couldn't compare to his home in Mud Mountain, it was simple and clean. He could tell that the people here had cleaned it very carefully.
Lying on the soft bed, Yun Xichen released the fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days and fell into a deep sleep.
Yun Xichen woke up from the bed again, feeling dizzy and sore all over.
"Is this a problem with the system or something else?”Yun Xichen patted his face and went downstairs to get a basin of water to wash his face to wake himself up.
Yun Xichen stretched lazily, his joints creaking. He patted his protesting stomach and decided to go downstairs to order some food.
Seeing Yun Xichen come downstairs, the fat shopkeeper immediately smiled." How did you sleep, sir?”
"It's alright." Yun Xichen gave a fair answer and asked," How long have I been asleep?”
"One day and one night." The fat shopkeeper's answer surprised Yun Xichen.
"You slept for so long. No wonder." Yun Xichen patted his head." Give me some signature dishes and a pot of wine." Also, help me fill up the gourd." Yun Xichen took the wine gourd and handed it over.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Yun Xichen went upstairs and found a seat by the window. She closed her eyes and circulated the demonic power in her body to regulate her body while waiting for the dishes to be served.
The food here was not delicious because it was not good wine. Yun Xichen was not picky and it was better than the tasteless barbecue he made.
Halfway through the meal, there was a sudden commotion on the street. Yun Xichen spat out the chicken drumstick that only had bones left in his mouth and craned his neck to see what was going on the street. After walking in the wilderness for a month, there was no way to miss the excitement.
An ox cart slowly drove over from the other side of the street. There was a big iron cage that was more than one meter long on the cart. Two small figures were shivering inside. There were short brown ears on their heads. They were obviously not human.
Two Taoist priests in bright yellow robes looked at the ox cart and boasted loudly to the surrounding townspeople about how they had caught the two little monsters and showed off their strength.
"We caught two more demons. Why is the world so unstable?”
"That's right. These demons don't blink when they eat people. Xu Si from the town went to the mountain to cut firewood a month ago and never came back. I heard that he was harmed by a monster.”
"I really hope that the heavens will open their eyes and kill these evil spirits as soon as possible.”
……
The residents of the town surrounded the ox cart and pointed at the monsters in the cage. They were mostly rejoicing and praising the achievements of the two Taoist priests.
Yun Xichen sat upstairs and watched all of this with a slight frown. He could guess the origins of these two little demons. Their parents had probably been killed. He was puzzled. How many people here had seen a real monster? All he saw were these captured little demons, right? Yun Xichen guessed that these people had heard about the demons from the One Qi Dao Alliance. Yun Xichen knew very well what kind of people the One Qi Dao Alliance was. However, gossip was a terrible thing. Yun Xichen wondered if they had the face to spread rumors on a large scale.
The anger that was filled with hatred appeared once again, but it was forcefully suppressed by Yun Xichen the moment it appeared.
"Even children won't be spared." Yun Xichen tossed the chicken bones in his hand and wondered if he should save the two little fellows.
"Seriously, I can't eat this meal.”Yun Xichen shook his head and picked up the two chicken bones on the table and flicked them at the back of the two priests as a greeting.
Since she had seen such a thing, she could not ignore it. This did not match Yun Xichen's creed.
The two chicken bones that flew through the air accurately hit the Taoist priests in the back. Yun Xichen controlled his strength very well. It only hurt their backs but did not cause much damage.
The two Taoist priests cried out in pain and pulled out their flying swords to glare at the surroundings.
"Which blind person did it? You're courting death!"
"Who ambushed me? Stand out!"
When the surrounding townspeople saw that they had pulled out their swords, they immediately dispersed. Some went home, and some cleaned up their stalls, lest the two Taoist priests fought with some people or demons and implicated them. They would die unjustly.
Yun Xichen shook his head disappointedly when he saw the two Taoist priests standing in the middle of the crowd with their swords drawn. If it were him, he would have long deduced the attacker's location from the direction the chicken bones flew from. These two weren't good.
Thinking of this, Yun Xichen cast a spell and flew down from the second floor. Under the angry gazes of the two Taoists, she landed on the enemy not far away from them.
Yun Xichen crossed her arms and said to the two priests," Stop looking. I smashed it."”
Yun Xichen's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by the two Taoist priests.
The fierce-looking Taoist priest's flying sword shook and buzzed. His tone was rather unfriendly." Brat, are you courting death?!"”
Yun Xichen cast a spell to dispel the transformation spell, revealing her original fox demon appearance. She shrugged." Even the one with the black sword couldn't kill me. The two of you aren't enough."”
It was not that Yun Xichen looked down on them, but their strength was equivalent to the strength of a demon.
Yun Xichen had the strength of a great demon, but when he fought against the fox demon in the Demon King realm, he had to use all his strength to get the evaluation of " loosen his bones ". It could be seen that there was a difference of one level, and the difference in strength was not just a little bit.
"Fox demon?"
"Monster?"
The two Taoist priests were stunned at first, then they started to control their flying swords to attack Yun Xichen.
Seeing the two flying swords, Yun Xichen pulled out his sword and slashed them into two.
Seeing that their magic weapons had been destroyed, the two Taoist priests took out talismans and were about to activate them when Yun Xichen suddenly appeared in front of them like a ghost. He easily dislocated their wrists and kicked them more than ten meters away.
"Why do you have to do that? You're shouting and killing me the moment you see me.”Yun Xichen pouted at the two Taoist priests who had fallen to the ground and said in a very helpless tone," How nice would it be to sit down and talk?"”
