Liu Ruping's expression changed slightly, but she was afraid to talk back to Sun Fubai. She moved to another table. "Haha!"
Li Qingshan made Little Ann wait outside as he passed through the town alone. The ancient structures in the surroundings folded and deformed like futuristic technology in movies, as if they had suddenly sprung to life.
He arrived outside the store of Miscellaneous Goods. The door was wide open, and light poured out, illuminating the dark streets.
Li Qingshan heard a few familiar voices, as well as Liu Ruping's words. He raised an eyebrow, but he did not feel any intense anger. All he did was find a secluded corner and wait quietly. The opportunity had arrived faster than he had imagined it to be.
A few hours later, the entire town closed up. Only the small building of the store of Miscellaneous Goods remained, standing alone. Afterwards, it also began to deform.
The cultivators all emerged from the store of Miscellaneous Goods. The last one to emerge was a stout, old woman, who was the owner of the store, Shi Peipei.
Originally, there would always be a gathering every time the market closed up, but after this incident, everyone lost interest.
In the end, the entire Town of Flowing Clouds shrank into a small, rectangular piece of wood, landing in Shi Peipei's hand. She stowed it away in her hundred treasures pouch and took out a small, wooden ship. She tossed it into the air, and it expanded a hundred times, hovering in the air.
"I want to return to the Clear River city to report what happened here to the school leader. If you want to go to the Clear River city, please board the ship. If you have other matters to attend to, please handle them yourself. Please forgive me for not seeing you off. The next market of the Town of Flowing Clouds is in the third month of spring, when the Hundred Schools of Thought hold their entrance examination. (Sacred Hall) "
The white sails unfurled, and the wind surged. The ship was like a drifting leaf, flying into the night sky. A while later, it became as insignificant as a speck of dust, sailing into a cloud and vanishing.
Only a dozen or so people remained on the empty wasteland, gazing at this sight before lowering their heads and bidding farewell to each other.
Li Qingshan was one of them. Although he had witnessed many of the wonders and mysteries of this world, he would still sigh in amazement every time he saw it again.
Then he lowered his head and gazed in the direction that Liu Ruping had departed in. Like a wild beast, he leapt into the darkness.
… …
In the depths of the ground, the demons were huddled together, colliding and roaring as they bared their fangs and claws in an attempt to force the other party to retreat.
If it were humans, it would definitely turn into a chaotic battle with corpses strewn all over the place. After all, they were creatures that would speak rudely just because of a glance, curse loudly, and stab each other to death.
Furthermore, the intelligence of daemons was not enough for them to develop a complex concept like dignity. Anger was not worth mentioning in the face of survival. If there was a great battle, no matter which side won, they would lose at least half of their daemon soldiers. Even their own lives might be threatened.
What kind of idiot would choose to start a war, humans? Therefore, the four Demon Generals all chose to negotiate. However, the method of negotiation might seem very barbaric to humans. There was no lack of physical contact, claws, and teeth. Holy Church
Among the group of demons, there were four Daemon Generals with different appearances. They were constantly increasing the Daemon Qi on their bodies. Suddenly, a Daemon Soldier from an unknown faction came to report in a fluster.
"Your Majesty, they're coming down!"
Before he finished speaking, eight lantern-sized eyes suddenly lit up in the dark cave. Each eye was filled with unimaginable cruelty and viciousness.
Under the gaze of those eyes, the group of daemons trembled. Many of the huge daemons that had been baring their fangs and brandishing their claws whimpered as they crawled down. Even the powerful Daemon Generals that were the nightmares of Qi Practitioners revealed expressions of panic and fear. This was their nightmare.
However, the one who walked out of the darkness was a cold, elegant lady in a bright red dress. Her scarlet lips parted slightly as she said coldly, "Where's Milliped?"
… …
Liu Ruping was secretly complaining that Shi Peipei was unwilling to send her off. Otherwise, she would have been so proud to ride this ship back to her family.
She sat on a silk carpet. The four corners of the carpet were embroidered with glyphs. She flew close to the ground. Although she was very low, the rugged terrain was no longer a problem.
Just as she was fantasizing about how she would be treated when she returned to the clan, a sudden gust of wind blew over. Before she could figure out what was going on, her neck was tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and she was lifted into the air.
Li Qingshan appeared. He wielded the Whale's Ingestion of Water and asked, "Did you obtain this blade?"
How could Liu Ruping not recognise him? Her eyes immediately became filled with fear and pleading. Suddenly, she felt her neck loosen. "Y- you're Niu Juxia? Thank the heavens, you're fine. I heard you were hunted down by the people of the Pheasant's Grace mountain. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep for the next few days. "
"Are you still going to deny it now that it's happened?" If it were not for what she said Just Now, Li Qingshan really might have been fooled by her.
"That's just his side of the story. Why would I do that?" Liu Ruping's quibble actually sounded reasonable. Combined with the tears in her beautiful eyes, she was indescribably charming.
Li Qingshan hesitated. Originally, he wanted her to accept her death wholeheartedly, but he never expected her to deny it. Apart from a few words from the masked man, he did not have any evidence to prove that Liu Ruping had set him up.
Liu Ruping said, "As long as you let me go, I'll do whatever you want."
Li Qingshan suddenly smiled to himself. "It's not like I'm from the government, so why do I need evidence? Since you want me dead, you can go first!" He raised the blade and swung it down. There was a flash of blood, but before it had even landed on the ground, it had been melted away by Little Ann's flames.
The more beautiful a creature was, the more delightful it would be to destroy it. Probably only humans would have such a complicated thought process. Too many meanings would always be attached to something like slaughter. Daemons were much simpler. Most of the time, it was just a single word — eat.
Li Qingshan did not want to become a deviant, so he did his best to make himself simpler. Of course, he did not plan on eating it.
When the east began to glow, Li Qingshan stopped and gazed at the majestic city in the distance. After several months, he had finally returned to Jiaping city.
Li Qingshan changed into the Black Wolf uniform and equipped his Wind-entwining blade. Little Ann had also returned to human form and changed into a new set of clothes.
Li Qingshan held Little Ann's little hand and walked towards Jiaping city.
For the first time in several months, he slowed down. On both sides of the road, the snow had not melted yet. The buildings on both sides gradually became denser and taller, and everywhere was decorated with lanterns.
This made Li Qingshan suddenly remember that it was the new year. Calculating the time, he had grown another year, becoming seventeen.
The crowing of roosters resounded throughout the city. Plumes of smoke rose into the sky, shrouding the entire city in a green mist.
What was he doing when he was seventeen in his previous life? He was still studying in school, going through a boring and monotonous high school life. Now, he was a vicious demon with thousands of lives on his hands. He had to admit that the latter kind of life was more interesting.
Perhaps there would be people who would lament that being ordinary was the truth, or perhaps they would miss the peaceful life of the past. Li Qingshan had no such emotions. He would rather take greater risks and abandon even more morals in order to obtain such an interesting life.
At the foot of the mountain, Li Qingshan looked up at the iron eagle and climbed up the stairs.
