Yun Qingwu's expression was calm and she did not panic at all. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi with her beautiful and bright eyes and did not say a word.
This made Fang Zhengzhi feel a little awkward.
Yun Qingwu did not say a word and did not panic. He could not possibly repeat what he had just said, right? I will say it again, the moon is so bright and round, I am going to start doing what I should do to you!
No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem appropriate.
As such, Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should wait for Yun Qingwu to show fear and panic before he slowly approached her.
However, after waiting for a full 15 minutes …
Fang Zhengzhi gave up on that thought because Yun Qingwu did not seem to have the intention to continue the conversation. She just looked at him quietly.
It seemed like she was waiting for something.
Since the two of them were waiting together, one of them had to compromise.
"Did you come to the Northern Mountain Village to find me?" Fang Zhengzhi's patience was not as good as Yun Qingwu's. As such, he sat down on the grass opposite Yun Qingwu.
"Yes." Yun Qingwu nodded and looked away. Then, she pointed at the box of snacks and a pile of fruits beside her and said, "I picked them from the mountains and have already washed them."
"A Demon Young Master came to the mountains to pick wild fruits?" Fang Zhengzhi did not stand on ceremony. He reached for a piece of fruit and threw it into his mouth. He felt the sweetness and freshness in his mouth and squinted his eyes, "Why did you come to find me?"
"I am here to take revenge for the Southern Region." Yun Qingwu replied matter-of-factly. However, her tone was too calm and indifferent.
"Haha … so you are here for revenge. Then, you should have a knife by your side and not snacks?" Fang Zhengzhi chuckled and looked extremely relaxed.
What a joke! Yun Qingwu was here to take revenge on him alone? How could he take revenge on her?
"I heard that you don't have long to live." Yun Qingwu did not answer Fang Zhengzhi's question immediately. Instead, she picked up a piece of fruit and put it into her mouth.
One had to admit that Yun Qingwu's movements when she ate were so elegant that they were almost perfect. Regardless of whether it was taking the food or chewing, she had an otherworldly aura.
"Maybe." Fang Zhengzhi did not deny this. After all, this matter had already spread after the battle in the Flame Capital City.
"Entering the Saint Realm in half a year is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"It is quite difficult."
"Do you want to listen to another song?"
"Do you know how to play the guitar?"
"I won't."
"Then let's do 'High Mountain and Flowing Water'."
"Alright."
The sound of the zither arose once more and spread out in the night sky, and it added a wisp of indifferent elegance to the silence of the wilderness, causing it to seem like a paradise in the mortal world.
It was a very strange scene.
The two of them were definitely not friends, and could even be said to be enemies, sitting opposite each other.
Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?
The other replied, "I'm here to seek revenge."
These two people should be fighting each other, or at the very least, they should be on guard against each other. However, the two people in front of him, one was playing the zither, and the other had his eyes closed, enjoying the night breeze between the mountains and the wilderness, and bathed in the moonlight.
The song ended.
Fang Zhengzhi did not open his eyes. Instead, he laid down on the grass, one hand supporting his head, the other picking up a snack and putting it in his mouth.
It melted in his mouth, and a light fragrance filled his mouth.
"Do you know how to play 'The Smiling, Proud Pugilistic World'?"
"The Smiling, Proud Pugilistic World?" Yun Qingwu looked at the lazy Fang Zhengzhi, waiting for him to continue.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not continue. Instead, he began humming softly.
"The secular world is a joke, infatuation is the most boring, it's good to be supercilious, this life is not over, but the heart is free, I just want to be free for the rest of my life …"
"This song is called 'The Smiling, Proud Pugilistic World'?"
After a long while, when Fang Zhengzhi finished humming, Yun Qingwu finally spoke. Her bright eyes looked at Fang Zhengzhi with an indescribable sense of complexity.
"No, this song is called 'The Smiling, Worldly World'."
"The Smiling, Worldly World? Didn't you just say 'The Smiling, Proud Pugilistic World'? "
"Haha, to be exact, 'The Smiling, Proud Pugilistic World' is actually a story, and 'The Smiling, Worldly World' is an interlude in the story. There is actually another song that is quite nice."
"What's it called?"
"The Smiling, Worldly World!"
"The Smiling, Worldly World? Hmm, not a bad name, can you sing it for me? "
"If you can dance or something, I can consider it!"
"Sure!" Yun Qingwu agreed without hesitation. Then, she carefully placed the Guqin on her knees to one side.
Under the moonlight, she sang.
A white dress slowly fluttered in the wind. The long dress was as white as snow as it moved on the emerald green grass. A pair of lotus feet lightly tapped the ground with a kind of peerless beauty.
It was a beautiful scene.
Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes slightly, looking at Yun Qingwu dancing in front of him. At that moment, he felt as though he was looking at Chang 'e in the moon.
"This girl … sure knows how to act!"
…
After some time, the moon was high up in the sky, and the stars were getting brighter. The silvery moonlight shone on the two figures lying on the grass.
"The Smiling, Proud Pugilistic World is a story, can you tell me about it?"
"I can't, that story is copyrighted."
"Copyrighted?"
"Hmm, it roughly means that without the permission of others, one can't talk about it." Fang Zhengzhi squinted his eyes and casually explained.
"I see, then let me tell you a story."
"What story?"
"The story about the origin of the Demon Race."
"Alright, but I have a question I want to ask first. Could it be that you call yourselves demons as well?"
"Isn't it good?"
"Compared to sages and gods, it doesn't seem to be good."
"That's what you humans think. To us, there's nothing bad about being a Demon. Instead, we think that the word 'human' isn't good."
"I see, I've learned something new." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. This was a way of thinking, and also a way of understanding since young.
"Something new? Do you have to be so shameless? "Yun Qingwu scolded him.
"Uh … I'm just expressing my thoughts in a very pure manner." Fang Zhengzhi tried to defend himself, but his face was slightly red. This was the feeling of being caught red-handed. In his heart, he felt that when he said this code word, the other party should have thought that he said "knowledge", right?
How did Yun Qingwu manage to guess the position he was talking about?
Alright, this girl was indeed too smart.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that he couldn't talk about knowledge in a serious manner. Therefore, even though he had never heard of this code word before, he could immediately understand what it meant.
"Actually, the origin of the Demon Race is much earlier than humans …"
"Every race would always say that they are the earliest when they talk about their origin." Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth and didn't seem to agree with Yun Qingwu's words.
Yun Qingwu didn't seem to be angered by Fang Zhengzhi's words. She continued, "Originally, there were only Demons in this world, but for some reason, humans started to descend …"
"In front of the powerful Demon Race, humans were not even worth mentioning. Therefore, they were ruled by the Demon Race and became their slaves …"
"…"
A faint white light rose from the horizon, indicating that the night was about to end.
Yun Qingwu's story had already ended. However, the two of them were still lying on the grass, their eyes squinted and their clothes and hair fluttering in the wind.
Gradually, the sun rose from the mountains and dyed the sky red. The stars had already disappeared, but there was an additional tinge of red.
Fang Zhengzhi finally opened his eyes.
He looked at the rising sun and the Cang Ling Mountain shrouded in clouds. He could feel Yun Qingwu's calm and gentle breathing. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, very quickly …
He rejected all of these thoughts.
"I am leaving. You should return to the Blood Shadow City of the Demon Race instead of staying outside the Northern Mountain Village. There are hundreds of royal guards in the Northern Mountain Village, as well as Prince Xian Lin Yun!" Fang Zhengzhi slowly sat up from the grass and looked at the beautiful face in front of him.
"Then you can go." Yun Qingwu did not open her eyes. She only moved her lips and let out a soft but pleasant sound.
"If I don't die, I will listen to your music if I have the chance in the future." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and stood up.
Looking at the gradually rising sun, he took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air and slowly exhaled. This was a feeling of being reborn.
Yun Qingwu did not say anything.
Fang Zhengzhi did not wait for Yun Qingwu to reply or agree. He turned around and walked towards the Northern Mountain Village.
He did not kill Yun Qingwu and she did not attack him.
The two of them were supposed to be enemies. However, they spent the night quietly on the green grass. They did not do anything flirtatious and just chatted casually.
Yun Qingwu played the Guqin and Fang Zhengzhi listened.
Fang Zhengzhi sang and Yun Qingwu listened.
Yun Qingwu talked about the origins of the Demon Race and Fang Zhengzhi listened.
Everything was so natural and harmonious. They were like two old friends who had known each other for a long time, sharing their stories together.
Fang Zhengzhi left and did not turn back.
Yun Qingwu did not send Fang Zhengzhi off either. She continued to lie on the green grass and closed her eyes, allowing the sun to shine on her face.
However, for some reason …
Fang Zhengzhi returned.
He saw Yun Qingwu in front of him again. She was still lying on the grass. The grass was still green and the box of pastries beside her was still the same box of pastries.
"What the f * ck!" At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi could not help but curse when he saw Yun Qingwu lying in front of him.
Yun Qingwu did not say anything.
She did not even make a sound. However, when she heard Fang Zhengzhi's scolding, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
It was as if …
The cold snow lotus had suddenly bloomed. It was an irresistible beauty.
If it was 15 minutes ago, Fang Zhengzhi would definitely be in the mood to admire this beauty. However, he was not in the mood now.
That was because he did not intend to turn back when he left. In fact, he did not turn back. However, he turned back.
What was the reason?
Of course, it could not be because Fang Zhengzhi could not bear to let her go.
Therefore, the only possibility was that he had stepped into a "trap" when he passed through the tree and reached Yun Qingwu's side last night.
"What array is it this time?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yun Qingwu and squinted. At this moment, he finally understood what a woman was.
"Make a guess." Yun Qingwu said calmly. She did not directly answer Fang Zhengzhi's question. However, it was equivalent to admitting it.
Fang Zhengzhi scanned his surroundings.
Bit by bit. He had been observing his surroundings since last night. However, the mountains were still mountains and the water was still water. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
There were no changes at all.
Even the gravel under the tree did not seem to have any pattern.
What formation was this?
Fang Zhengzhi did not understand. In fact, if he could understand it immediately, he would not have taken so long to confirm that he had fallen into Yun Qingwu's trap.
"Gossip? Doesn't look like it! "
"It's not seven stars either. There are no signs of it at all!"
Fang Zhengzhi looked at his surroundings carefully again, and finally chose to give up.
He could not see the pattern of the formation. Even if he asked, he would not be able to get anything out of it. After all, Yun Qingwu would not be so stupid as to tell him the name and secret of her formation.
Then …
There was a problem.
How could he get out?
This was a problem that was almost impossible to solve. However, Fang Zhengzhi grasped onto the last glimmer of hope. That was the "Formation Eye".
There were two ways to break the formation. One was to find the pattern and follow it to get out of the formation.
The other way …
Was to destroy the Formation Eye!
This was the most direct and fastest method. It was suitable to be used when one was far more powerful than the opponent. Furthermore, it would solve the problem once and for all.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not know where the Formation Eye was.
After all, he did not even know what the formation was and what the pattern was. How could he find the Formation Eye? At this moment, he had two choices.
One was to use his monstrous strength to vent his anger. Who knows, he might be lucky enough to find the Formation Eye. The other was …
Capture Yun Qingwu!
It was such a simple and clear method.
When a weak lady who knew about the formation and the location of the Formation Eye laid in front of him and shouted, "You have fallen into my trap. You have stepped into my formation."
This choice was too easy.
