Chapter 448 Lu Zhan: Ah? I was born a demon?
Chapter 448 Lu Zhan: Ah? I was born a demon?
The wind is whistling and the trees are rustling.
The sky was about to brighten, and the sky in the east was already turning pale. Tushan Shiyu stood on the edge of the lake, gazing at the gorgeous and stunning red glow in the east. He quietly watched the golden crow leap out of the clouds and rise from the ground bit by bit, with mixed feelings in his eyes.
“Tap tap tap~~”
I heard footsteps behind me, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground creaked.
Tushan Shiyu knew that Lu Zhan was coming and felt a little embarrassed. First, Lu Zhan saw him taking a bath, and then he was caught "peeping" on the spot. It was really embarrassing.
Without even turning her head, she tried to act like a Qingqiu princess, her expression serious:
"You came?"
Lu Zhan was wrapped in a black cloak, looking lazy, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He said lazily:
"Wait for me, I'm coming."
"..."
Tushan Shiyu's expression froze. She felt embarrassed about what happened tonight and didn't know how to ease the atmosphere, so she asked casually. She thought Lu Zhan would ask her purpose, but she didn't expect this guy to say that.
Just wait for me and I'll come.
At first glance, these words sounded really ambiguous, and one might have thought that she had some kind of relationship with Lu Zhan.
But on second thought, Lu Zhan had to give up his peaceful life and brave the cold to come to this desolate wilderness just for her. This seemed a bit strange no matter how you thought about it.
Tushan Shiyu coughed lightly, and even though she felt awkward, she didn't go straight to the point. In case Lu Zhan had no feelings for her, it would seem that she was flattering herself.
After much thought, Tushan Shiyu decided to warm up the scene first:
"It's really not appropriate to ask you to come out at this time. It must have delayed a lot of your work."
Lu Zhan was indeed delayed in his work, but when he saw Tushan Shiyu standing in front of the door, he had no choice but to come out, so he said:
"I just didn't expect that the dignified Princess of Qingqiu would have the habit of eavesdropping on people."
Tushan Shiyu's face turned slightly red, and her voice was a little unnatural: "It's just a coincidence."
"Coincidence? You strolled to the door of my inn and heard noises you shouldn't have heard. It was indeed a coincidence."
"..."
Tushan Shiyu opened his mouth, somewhat speechless, and could only grit his teeth and said:
"I have something to talk to you about."
Seeing that she was serious, Lu Zhan stopped joking and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Tushan Shiyu considered for a moment and was going to warm up the crowd, but it was too difficult to do so with Lu Zhan, so he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"You come from a noble family in the Middle Earth, so you should know that demons are rampant and the world is in turmoil. Qingqiu is a fairyland outside the world. As the princess of Qingqiu, I have the responsibility to shoulder the heavy burden of Qingqiu. I am different from other women. Do you understand?"
"?"
Lu Zhan blinked: "Hmm?"
Seeing that Lu Zhan didn't understand, Tushan Shiyu hinted, "I don't have time to care about anything else. I just want to protect my country and the people of the world. Lu Xiaofeng, don't you understand?"
"..."
Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, then realized what Tushan Shiyu meant, and said with a smile:
"What Di Ji means is that if you don't bother me about me peeping at you taking a bath in the villa, then I don't need to be responsible, right?"
"..."
Tushan Shiyu pursed her lips slightly. This was indeed what she meant, but it felt a bit strange to say it so bluntly now. She simply turned around and said with her back to Lu Zhan:
"You can understand it this way. When we were in the Mirage Demon Realm, I kissed you to save you. I had absolutely no other thoughts. Please don't misunderstand our relationship."
In the distance, there are dense forests and mountains, the morning light is dim in the sky, the lake is shrouded in white mist, and Tushan Shiyu is surrounded by clouds and mist, which makes him feel a bit cold and deserted.
Lu Zhan put his hands behind his back, walked to Tushan Shiyu's side, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and sighed:
"As the saying goes, the greatest heroes serve their country and their people. Princess Di is worthy of admiration."
"..."
Tushan Shiyu did not want Lu Zhan's admiration, nor did she want to hear Lu Zhan's words of praise, but before the South China Sea was at peace, she could not be hindered by love, so she said:
"It's not that great. I am the most ambitious fox in Qingqiu in the past thousand years. I am supported by the people of Qingqiu and blessed by heaven and earth. I should shoulder my responsibilities."
Lu Zhan really admired her heart. He and Tushan Shiyu had been through a lot together and knew that Tushan Shiyu was definitely not just talking nonsense. Back then in the Mirage Demon Secret Realm, she risked her life to seal the Mirage Demon, which was enough to show her heart.
only……
"It's just that love is contrary to justice?"
Lu Zhan was a little curious. Tushan Shiyu had lived for a thousand years and was a member of the nine-tailed fox clan, a naturally amorous species. Could she really endure the long and lonely years?
The atmosphere gradually became heavy, but Tushan Shiyu became more relaxed. She turned and stared at Lu Zhan with a somewhat indifferent smile:
"Love and justice are naturally not contradictory, but I don't want to have any attachments."
Lu Zhan felt that there was something wrong with Tushan Shiyu's eyes, as if there was a kind of decisiveness and bravery of "going to die heroically", but he was not Tushan Shiyu, he did not know Tushan Shiyu's experience, and it was difficult for him to really empathize with him.
Lu Zhan didn't know what to say. After thinking it over, he raised his hand and patted Tushan Shiyu on the shoulder:
"Why are you still sad? I understand why you came to see me. Don't worry, although I am a bit of a playboy, I am definitely not the kind of person who flirts with women. You and I have experienced life and death in the secret realm, and we are rare friends."
"..."
Tushan Shiyu was pleased that Lu Zhan was so serious, but she also felt a little uncomfortable.
She wanted Lu Zhan not to provoke her and not to misunderstand their relationship, but she also didn't want Lu Zhan to really keep his distance from her...
Tushan Shiyu stammered, wanting to say something, but then she thought that this was the outcome she wanted. Since she had already achieved her goal, why would she go back on her word and provoke Lu Zhan? This was not fair to Lu Zhan either.
Thousands of words came to my lips, but in the end they only turned into one sentence:
"Three days later, I will wait for you at Hongshijian in Wuhai. The Shura couple will pass by that sea area."
Lu Zhan felt that Tushan Shiyu seemed a little sad, but he didn't understand Tushan Shiyu's life and couldn't give her proper comfort. The best way was not to disturb her. After hearing about the Shura couple, he nodded:
"I understand. I'm going back."
Lu Zhan turned and left, waving his hand without looking back, his figure gradually disappearing into the woods by the lake.
Tushan Shiyu stood at the Jade Lake for a long time, thinking about what Lu Zhan had just said.
Are pure love and righteousness contradictory?
Her answer to Lu Zhan was that it was not contradictory. However, her actions silently indicated that it was "contradictory".
Tushan Shiyu thought about it over and over again, unable to calm down, and instinctively walked towards the inn again.
"Ok?"
Tushan Shiyu's figure landed on the third floor of the inn. Just as he was about to walk into the corridor, he was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Tushan Shiyu was slightly startled, and the disappointment in her heart immediately disappeared. She looked at Lu Zhan's room and gritted her teeth and said:
"You just said you treat me as a close friend, and now you're setting up a barrier..."
Tushan Shiyu turned and left. She had returned to the inn on her own terms, but after seeing this scene, she had no intention of staying.
The sun has already risen, and this guy is still obsessed with beauty.
I just had a deep chat with her by the lake. How long have we been back? And now we're having an affair.
You can’t trust Lu Xiaofeng’s words!
……
three days later.
Time flies, the stars move.
Wuhai is located in the southwest of southern Xinjiang. It is named after the black sea water. It is said that the water quality here is special and nothing can grow in the sea, which is quite magical.
It was early in the morning, the golden crow rose from the east, the earth was bathed in rosy clouds, the breeze was blowing, and the sea was sparkling.
Above the Wuhai Sea, two figures were approaching from afar, walking on the waves.
The figure at the head was a young girl, with a full chest and a peach-like buttocks. Her black gauze skirt was very thin, revealing her skin, her slender waist and snow-white legs. Her face was charming and beautiful, with a red mole at the corner of her eye, which was quite charming and intoxicating.
Behind the woman in black veil, there was an old man.
The old man was dressed in black, with white hair and a haggard face. He held a dragon-headed cane in his hand, supporting his hunched body, which was trembling slightly.
The old man followed behind the girl. Due to the high speed of the flight, he gradually became out of breath and said with a grumble:
"Sister Luo, please slow down a bit..."
The black-veiled girl raised her eyebrows slightly, smiling brightly and charmingly: "Brother Xiu, you and I have been in seclusion in the old forest of Southern Xinjiang for a thousand years. Now that we are stepping into the world again, we can't help but feel excited... I don't know how the younger generation of Peacock Mountain is doing."
The old man panted heavily and said tremblingly:
"Even the prince and princess were killed, which shows how useless the descendants are now... If we weren't all from Peacock Mountain, we really wouldn't want to take care of their mess."
The two are the rumored Shura couple.
Thousands of years ago, they roamed the southern border and had no rivals among their peers. Because their names were Luo Yu and Xiu Yuan, and they were husband and wife, they were called the Shura couple.
They showed their talents at a young age, which is why they were noticed by their ancestors and sent to the old forest in southern Xinjiang to practice at an early age.
Deep in the old forests of southern Xinjiang, there are many old things hidden.
These old guys were born in major families in southern Xinjiang. Originally, they were the ancestors and trump cards of the family. But later, as time passed, the old guys became obsessed with cultivation, eager to break into a higher realm, and their relationship with their descendants gradually became alienated.
The same is true for Peacock Mountain.
The old guys in Peacock Mountain will naturally not sit idly by and watch Peacock Mountain perish, but they will not give up their cultivation because of worldly affairs and come out to help their descendants fight in group fights.
Everyone believes that large families pay more attention to family unity.
In fact, the higher the level of cultivation, the weaker the relationship with the family and the secular world. After thousands of years, the so-called descendants are just the fate of being from the same family.
The reason why the Shura couple were asked to come out this time was also for the sake of face, just to show their respect.
Compared to the troubles of worldly life, reaching a higher level is what the old guys really pursue.
Luo Yu looked out at the endless sea, her laughter as clear as a silver bell:
"Don't be so pessimistic. We haven't been to the outside world for a long time. It's good to go out and see the world. I'm very curious about who the guy who forced Peacock Mountain to ask Lao Lin for help was..."
Xiu Yuan coughed twice, his body was as weak as a candle in the wind. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt the fluctuation of true Qi coming from the front.
Luo Yu kept smiling and looked forward.
I only saw two black shadows approaching from afar, and when they got closer, I could vaguely see that they were two peacock spirits. Although the peacock spirits had human bodies, they had tail feathers, which looked weird.
Luo Yu's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, and her slender white legs crossed:
"You younger generations, didn't the Peacock King tell you that it is very dangerous to block the road without permission?"
"..."
The two peacock spirits looked at each other and realized that it was Lu Zhan and Tushan Shiyu who had come in disguise. They bowed to Luo Yu and Xiu Yuan, each with different thoughts in their minds.
Lu Zhan looked at the white legs swaying in front of him, and then looked at the old man who was like a candle in the wind, and the doubts in his heart continued to grow...
no……
Is there such a big age difference between you two?
Even if it's not the age difference...is there such a big difference in appearance?
Luo Yu looked just like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little devil girl, even her eyes were full of intoxicating spring color, but Xiu Yuan was like an eighty-year-old man who forced himself to marry an eighteen-year-old wife.
Lu Zhan was confused, but he didn't dare to be careless.
These two are peacock spirits who walked out of the old forest in southern Xinjiang, and their gold content may be higher.
However, Lu Zhan did not feel the pressure from the realm, and he estimated that these two were demons in the Wuwei realm. However, according to the historical law that they were invincible among their peers, it was difficult to determine how much gold content this had.
The only thing that is certain is that since I came to Southern Xinjiang, I have come into contact with more and more masters.
In other words, as your realm is elevated, you will see a wider world.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan smiled and said:
"I guess you two are the Shura couple, right? Please don't be surprised, old seniors. The Peacock King ordered us to come and greet you. Please follow us, old seniors."
Tushan Shiyu was also surprised at the poor image of the Shura couple. He squinted his eyes and smiled apologetically, looking like a lackey.
Luo Yu smiled charmingly, her voice sweet and clear:
"That's pretty clever. What are your two names?"
Lu Zhan bent down slightly and said with a chuckle, "My name is Benboerba."
Tushan Shiyu said: "Baboer is running."
Luo Yu smiled even more brightly, and covered her red lips with her jade hand: "The name does have some meaning... Lead the way."
Lu Zhan nodded slightly, turned around and flew forward, preparing to lead the two men to the Red Stone Valley and eliminate them using the formation he had set up to avoid too much of a commotion.
But who would have thought that just as he turned around, he suddenly felt a fierce murderous aura coming from behind him.
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes and instinctively wanted to fight back, but he saw the murderous aura heading towards Tushan Shiyu.
"?!"
Tushan Shiyu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly fled away to avoid the fatal blow.
Lu Zhan was shocked, and the contempt in his heart disappeared. He couldn't say that his disguise skills were invincible, but they were good enough to make a fake look real. And with the addition of the bird feathers of the Peacock Mountain monster, there shouldn't be any problem.
But after just one encounter, he was seen through by the other party, which was enough to prove his strength.
Now that he had been discovered, Lu Zhan no longer wanted to hide his weakness. Just as he was about to attack, a gust of fragrant wind swept over him.
Luo Yu grabbed Lu Zhan's wrist and chuckled:
"Silly boy, that's a vixen in disguise. How long have you not seen Ba Bener Ben?"
"?"
Lu Zhan blinked and suddenly felt a little confused.
Ok?
He was also in disguise, so how come he wasn't seen through? Instead, only Tushan Shiyu was seen through?
Xiu Yuan walked out from behind him. His weak appearance just now disappeared, and was replaced by a burly black-haired man. He held a cane and said:
"Hmph, even if the fox tribe is naturally good at illusion, don't think you can fool my eyes. I can see through auras. Even if she wears a breath-hiding robe, it's useless. The fox aura on her body can't be hidden at all."
Lu Zhan pursed his lips and dared not say a word.
Xiu Yuan patted his shoulder and laughed, "Don't be afraid. The evil spirit on you is stronger than that of Luo Yu and me. You are a natural born demon. You must have killed many people, right?"
Lu Zhan: “…”
Ah this...

PS: Buying a house is so troublesome. I am a little tired from running around. Suddenly I feel a little regretful. It would be much easier if I didn’t buy one… I have to go to pay the down payment tomorrow.
