#120 - Let’s go, Royal City, shh!
“… … No.” Ling Xiao's expression was somewhat complicated. “The Demon Commander's true form is a wolf.”
“Oh… … Oh?”
Xu Chengxian could tell that she hadn't expected him to react so ignorantly.
But he was fearless.
He still expressed his confusion.
“The Howling Moon Azure Wolf clan, the strongest mother wolf, inherits the name Fu Li,” Ling Yunzi said.
The first patriarch of the Howling Moon Azure Wolf clan was once one of the twelve guards of the ancient Demon Emperor.
Known throughout the world for their loyalty and solitary bravery.
“Oh oh!” Xu Chengxian nodded repeatedly.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If Demon Commander Fu Li's true form was really a fox.
Then this wouldn't just be a pun, but a pun with a bit of an accent.
Then he would have to consider the possibility of running into someone from his hometown.
“… … ”
“Big brother.” Ling Xiao looked at him and took a deep breath.
“Huh?” Xu Chengxian was startled, “Hiss hiss ~”
Immediately, he couldn't help but open his mouth and stick out his snake tongue.
What's going on?
Why did she suddenly call him big brother?
Big brother, is a little scared!
“Promise me.” Ling Xiao seemed to be hurt by his stupidity, and took another deep breath, saying, “Once we enter the Royal City, just shut your mouth, okay?”
“… … Okay, sister.” Xu Chengxian's intuition told him that agreeing was the best answer at this time.
Otherwise, Ling Xiao might commit fratricide.
He didn't want his ears to be pierced by demonic sounds.
Ling Yunzi sat on the side, revealing a smile.
With undisguised schadenfreude.
But before his smile could disappear, Ling Xiao turned to him and said: “Little Bai brother, you, like Little Hua, better not speak casually.”
“… … ”
“Ha!” Now it was Xu Chengxian's turn to laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, “Not letting him speak is different from not letting you speak.”
“Oh? How is it different?”
This sentence was asked by Ling Yunzi.
Because even if Xu Chengxian wasn't smart, he could tell that if he asked, he would only be humiliated.
“Not speaking too much is a rule that everyone must follow. Even try not to have any contact with outsiders.”
Ling Xiao said, “So as not to cause trouble.”
She didn't say what kind of trouble specifically.
She turned to Ling Yunzi and said: “But the reason I don't let you speak is because I want you to walk around the Royal City with an aloof and arrogant demeanor.”
“What's the purpose?” Xu Chengxian asked.
“The purpose is of course to attract the attention of many female demons in the Royal City.” Ling Xiao chuckled, “And then let more opponents also pay attention.”
“It's best to have them regard you as someone they must defeat.”
“Why?”
“You'll know when the time comes.”
“Tsk.” Xu Chengxian understood the meaning of these words, which was to say, don't ask, she wouldn't tell even if he did.
So, he thought about it and simply changed the question.
He asked Ling Xiao: “How can you be sure that the female demons will like, um, the mute version of Yunzi?”
Besides, is Yunzi's voice unpleasant?
“His voice isn't unpleasant, but what he says won't be pleasant.” Ling Xiao said with an expression of 'I understand'.
As for why she wanted Ling Yunzi to pretend to be aloof?
Of course, it was because most demons were straightforward and enthusiastic.
Pretending to be a cold and detached human cultivator would more easily attract the attention of female demons.
Xu Chengxian understood.
It was like having one pear among a basket of apples, everyone would definitely want to try what a pear tastes like, since they haven't eaten one much.
Of course, the premise was that Ling Yunzi's appearance wasn't bad.
Therefore, Ling Xiao used the word 'more'.
“Sister, you know a lot!” He couldn't help but sigh.
Is the knowledge reserve of the Empress so vast and diverse?
“What does this count for? Food and sex are human nature, whether human or demon, even if they have opened their spiritual intelligence, they cannot escape these three words.”
Everyone, male and female, likes beauty.
Those who have seen noble peonies want to see a modest and pretty girl.
Those who have seen too many smiling faces like to chase after someone cold and heartless.
“To put it bluntly, it's just being greedy for novelty.” Ling Xiao chuckled, “Also, dirty thoughts. Persuading prostitutes to be virtuous, dragging virtuous women into the water. Moreover, compared to pretending to be compassionate in front of pitiful people, making something clean dirty is even more exciting.”
“… … ”
“Cat Nineteen said that many female demons in the Royal City like handsome monks. Where is our Taoist priest lacking?”
“I have to broaden their horizons!”
“… … ”
“… … ”
Xu Chengxian looked at Ling Yunzi, who was the 'knowledge' itself, and saw him wearing a hair crown and a plain white robe, what a handsome figure in black hair and white clothes!
He couldn't help but grin.
Haha!
No wonder Ling Xiao had specially asked him to change his attire these past two days.
So, it was for this!
Ling Yunzi lowered his eyes and ignored him.
This made Xu Chengxian feel that something was wrong.
Wrong.
Yunzi actually didn't retort.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, his heart stirred.
He remembered that it seemed like he hadn't heard their heart voices for a long time.
At this time, he really wanted to hear them.
Besides Ling Yunzi's, also Ling Xiao's.
He really wanted to know what kind of arrangements Ling Xiao had for the upcoming battle for the Flood Dragon's essence blood.
It seemed that ever since they advanced to the Great Demon realm and both transformed, he had never been able to hear them again.
He couldn't help but silently say: “System.”
【Yes, host.】
“Cancel the heart voice shielding on Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi.”
【Okay, host.】
However, after turning it on, he still didn't hear any sound.
“What's going on?” he asked in his heart.
【Host, please wait.】
After a while, the system gave the answer.
According to the system, at the Great Demon realm, with the solidification of the divine soul, the power of the divine soul seals the spiritual platform and sea of consciousness.
This blocked his prying into their thoughts.
Moreover, with the improvement of cultivation, most of the time, cultivators can tightly guard their minds and concentrate their minds.
They will not easily reveal what they are thinking in their hearts.
So Xu Chengxian cannot often hear their heart voices.
In the future, the chances of hearing them will be less and less.
Unless, his divine soul power is far stronger than the other party's.
“Tsk.”
Xu Chengxian sighed with some regret.
Then there was no way.
He could only wait.
… …
Soon, they arrived at the ferry.
After finding Dai Dai's location, Ling Yunzi put away the carriage.
The three of them, Lian Dasheng, and the demon beast Ma Chengfeng, boarded the back of the Chasing Wind Purple Gold Turtle.
“Has anything happened these past few days?” Ling Xiao asked.
Cat Nineteen replied that nothing had happened, everything was fine.
After that, everyone set off upstream along the great river, heading to the location of the Royal City.
A few days later, they gradually approached the Royal City.
Before they even arrived, Ling Xiao woke up Xu Chengxian, who was sleeping, and pointed a finger at him, put it to her lips, and made a “Shh” sound.
Xu Chengxian: “…”
When he arrived inside the Royal City and registered, he realized the purpose of Ling Xiao's actions.
“What did you say?” His divine sense transmission was somewhat unstable due to surprise, “You're also going to register!”
