Chapter 121 Clouds 1 King of Dogs
Chapter 121 Clouds 1 King of Dogs
Yunzhong is located close to Danli to the west, and between Yunzhong and Danli lies Yueban City.
Moonlit City is located within the territory of Yunzhong, which is predominantly mountainous and hilly, with an unstable terrain. Because of Moonlit City and its proximity to Danli, a region teeming with demons and monsters, the people there suffer greatly, unlike the peaceful Jiangcheng.
Such terrain and environment make flying on a sword the best option.
Zhao Sicheng looked down with great curiosity: "How come there's no one in such a large area of Yunzhong at night? It's too quiet."
Xie Xiao replied, "Not many of them come out during the day. There's a place called Yueban to the west. The further you fly, the fewer people there are. At night, no one dares to come out."
Zhao Sicheng sighed, "It's such a big place in the clouds, but it's a pity that the spiritual energy is so thin. There aren't many demon hunters here."
"Actually, the number of demon hunters sent from the capital to Yunzhong every year is the largest, but unfortunately, there are more and more demons in recent years."
"Do you think our lives would be better if we killed all the demons in Moonlit City?"
"Of course, not only will the people of Moon Half City be rescued, but there will also be far fewer monsters causing trouble in the Clouds."
Xie Xiao and Zhao Sicheng chatted back and forth, while the others flew quietly on their swords. Only Wen Mingzhu forced herself to remain calm on the surface, but tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Wen Mingzhu had never been so tired in the past two days. She ate dry rations from her Qiankun bag, which were hard and unpalatable! She could only lie down anywhere for two or three hours at a time and couldn't get a good night's sleep at all!
Actually, the journey from Jingcheng to Jiangcheng wasn't easy for her either, but at that time, she was willing to endure some hardship for her fourth brother.
She's suffered a major setback with her fourth brother, and she's still quite resentful. But she really can't take the current situation anymore.
Besides Zhao Sicheng offering her a few words of concern, the other four people showed no sign that she was exhausted. They seemed tireless, and even the Second Master's dog, while traveling each day, would bark energetically in her ear.
She glanced at the energetic Wen Li in front of her, gritted her teeth, and thought that she couldn't be worse than her.
So all she could do was pray that she could rest soon, because she really couldn't fly anymore.
Ugh... Why isn't anyone mentioning taking a break? Waaaaaah...
Aunt Song reminded everyone: "It's too dangerous in the clouds at night. It's too troublesome to deal with. Let's hold on a little longer and go down to find an inn to rest during the day."
"Ah."
"Row."
Hearing Aunt Song's words, Wen Mingzhu felt like the sky had fallen. But who was it that said during the day to hold on and rest at night?
Hearing that no one objected, Wen Mingzhu looked at Zhao Sicheng's back, hoping he would protest.
Zhao Sicheng had never been to Yunzhong before. He was very excited as he flew down on his sword and looked at the scenery below.
"I think it's a good idea. If we go down now, I doubt any inn will dare to let us stay."
"That's true, no inn will take us in. Once, my fourth brother and I..."
Xie Xiao took over the conversation, and then Zhao Sicheng and Xie Xiao chatted happily for a while.
Wen Mingzhu's tears flowed unexpectedly, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her emotions.
Before, in the capital, she was always surrounded by crowds wherever she went; she had never suffered like this before.
"Screw it, I'm exhausted. I fly during the day and at night. There's a small town up ahead, who cares, let's just go in and rest first."
After speaking, Wen Li ignored the reactions of others and flew down.
Shen Yingsi glanced at Wen Mingzhu and said coldly, "Everyone is tired, let's go down and rest together."
"Host, you're amazing! You did a good deed. You're truly remarkable!"
Wen Li scoffed, finding it troublesome. How could Wen Zhi'en trust Wen Mingzhu, who needed to be carried in a sedan chair even to go out, to leave home?
At this moment, Shen Yingsi flew to her side. Wen Li glanced at his handsome face and pursed her lips.
Oh, I remember now, it was to find a rich husband.
"Eh?"
Zhao Sicheng shouted at Wen Li's retreating figure, "Wen Li, how can you be so domineering! The minority should submit to the majority!"
After he shouted, he turned his head and saw that everyone else had also flown down.
He could only hurry after her, and only when he flew to Wen Mingzhu's side did Zhao Sicheng notice the tears in the corners of Wen Mingzhu's eyes: "Hey, Mingzhu, what's wrong?"
"The wind is too strong, don't worry about it."
The town was eerily quiet; there wasn't a soul in sight on the streets.
Wen Li and her group searched several inns, but no matter how much they knocked or called out, no one answered.
Is anyone still here?
Zhao Sicheng shouted in frustration, but his voice was followed only by a long silence.
"Open the door! Someone please help us! We're all good people, cultivators, just passing by. Is there any kind soul who can open the door for us?"
Xie Xiao stepped forward and patted Zhao Sicheng on the shoulder: "It's so late now, the people around here should have already blocked their doors."
"Huh? Why? Then, then we'll have to sleep on the floor again tonight? It rained during the day, and the ground is still wet."
As Wen Mingzhu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again. The Second Master on the ground wagged his tail and looked at her strangely.
"Mingzhu, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Si Xiaxia watched the show with amusement: "What's the use of him? Didn't you see Wen Mingzhu secretly watching our protagonist?"
Si Xiaxia's voice rang in her ears, but Wen Li didn't react. To be honest, she was also a little sleepy; she could fall asleep standing up.
Seeing Wen Mingzhu's pitiful appearance, Zhao Sicheng felt very sorry for her: "You can sleep with Second Master. Second Master's house looks very clean. You can stay here, and I'll watch over you outside."
Second Master?
Upon hearing this, Wen Li stepped forward and slapped Zhao Sicheng hard on the head.
"I wouldn't even dare to squeeze into my master's mansion, Zhao Sicheng, what kind of pipe dream are you having!"
Seeing Wen Li's arrogance, Wen Mingzhu stepped forward to defend Zhao Sicheng: "Brother Sicheng was just making a suggestion, I won't squeeze in with that dog..."
Woof woof woof woof!
Second Master stood next to Wen Li as if he understood, and shouted wildly at Zhao Sicheng.
"Even a suggestion won't do! That's wishful thinking! Our Second Master is the king of dogs, not just anyone is qualified to share a den with him!"
Even though no one else could hear her, Si Xiaxia was muttering to Wen Li in her mind: "These past two days, they've probably been eyeing our Second Master's residence for a while now! Shameless! Shameless!"
"What do you mean? I'm the eldest daughter of the Wen family! Normally..."
Seeing that the three old men were about to start arguing again, Aunt Song looked around and her head started to ache again.
I thought it would be safer with more people, but if these people keep causing trouble, the monsters will come knocking on our door.
"Quiet down, quiet down. If you attract monsters, I don't know if you young people will have the energy to protect this old man."
Xie Xiao turned to Shen Yingsi beside him and asked, "Fourth Brother, what do we do now?"
"Let's find a clean spot and make do for the night."
Upon hearing this, Wen Mingzhu was on the verge of tears, her voice trembling with sobs.
"It's cold and damp today. I won't be able to sleep here. I haven't slept well for days."
Wen Li didn't mind making do, after all, that's how demon hunters always are when they're out and about. But seeing Wen Mingzhu's condition made her very worried.
With Wen Mingzhu's spoiled manner, she might just sneak into their Second Master's mansion in the middle of the night and disturb his rest. The Second Master's mansion isn't too cramped, and it's soft and comfortable.
“Hey, you guys follow me and don’t say a word. Your Uncle Li guarantees you’ll have a good night’s sleep tonight.”
Xie Xiao was surprised: "You have a way?"
