Chapter 129: Wouldn't Deceive
This is different from what he originally thought!
In Luo Wusheng's mind, the image of a certain white-haired ancient legal loli surfaced once again.
Could it be that what Yue Xuanji, the Tower Master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, said about being able to find the Rat Demon last night doesn't actually refer to the demon empress?
He realized that his previous thoughts had been mistaken.
After hearing Yue Xuanji's words last night, he subconsciously assumed that the demon empress, as the former ruler of the demon race, would have a way to find the Rat Demon. But now it seems that this might not be the case.
"If it's just an ordinary Golden Core demon race member, I might be able to use my innate abilities to find some clues. However, if it's really as you say, and there's some connection to the Buddhist Sect the Buddhist Sect's Hidden Karma technique is extremely mysterious. Even I would find it difficult to find useful clues," Yao Ji's words were somewhat heavy, but her tone softened slightly. "However, since that old woman, Yue Xuanji, said such things, you might indeed have other unknown means to find the Rat Demon During the time when I'm still not returning to the demon race, I will also try to trace its whereabouts."
Her words were meant to reassure Luo Wusheng, but her own heart was not at ease either.
If the conjecture of the current demon race lord, the guy who replaced her in the Demon Hall, was correct, then her return to the demon race this time might encounter obstacles that she hadn't considered before
On the other hand, after pondering for a long time, Luo Wusheng still couldn't figure out what Yue Xuanji meant by the means he could obtain last night. In the end, he had to temporarily set aside his chaotic thoughts and nodded slightly.
He felt a bit mentally exhausted.
Why did it feel like ever since he came to the royal city, even though the members of the Buddhist Sect had not formally appeared in front of him, their presence was exceptionally strong?
It was as if they were even more noticeable than him, who had somehow ended up in the spotlight yesterday.
Could it be because he had read the script and was paying extra attention to the bald monks who wanted to harm him?
Looking at Yao Ji across from him again, Luo Wusheng opened his mouth, but then retracted the words that were about to come out.
He did want to get some information about the Buddhist Sect directly from the demon empress. After all, with her Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator insights, even the best secrecy measures of the Buddhist Sect couldn't hide everything from her.
However, he ultimately dismissed this idea.
Without knowing the aim of the Buddhist Sect at the moment, he had no idea what methods they might use against him. As a result, he didn't dare to listen, even if Yao Ji was willing to spend several days talking to him.
Knowing too much would only increase his psychological burden right now, especially in this cultivation world where psychological issues could lead to serious consequences, whether it was a shattered Dao heart or falling into demonic cultivation, both were just different manifestations of the problem.
Moreover, as someone who cared about maintaining a character image, he couldn't release his stress through the few entertainment options available in this world.
In any case, he didn't want the Buddhist Sect to scare him into depression before they even made a move.
Just as Luo Wusheng felt a bit of a headache, he heard the sound of a zither, and it was as if a warm spring breeze had swept away the anxiety in his heart.
Such a melody could only come from one person.
Luo Wusheng subconsciously looked across.
Those fair hands danced on the seven-string ancient zither, and the music flowed like a gentle stream from her fingers. The melody was clear and ethereal, as if sipping celestial wine, it made people involuntarily intoxicated, forgetting their worries.
When the music ended, Yao Ji's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and within her radiant red pupils, there seemed to be the flicker of starlight, yet it also appeared hazy and dreamlike.
A flawless smile graced her face, momentarily leaving Luo Wusheng in a daze.
" How is it?"
The ethereal sound of the girl's voice gently rang out, as if she was putting the perfect finishing touch on the ending of the music.
Only then did Luo Wusheng come back to his senses, closing his eyes as if savoring the scene from earlier.
After a few breaths of time, he slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken from a dream, and said with a musing tone, "It's very beautiful"
Once the words left his mouth, Luo Wusheng felt like he had returned to reality. The confusion in his eyes dissipated, and he shook his head with a smile, "Your musical skills are still as enchanting as they were in the past. If the girls in the Red Blossom Pavilion find out that the one who had infected them with a wind-cold illness is no longer in the building, I wonder what the scene will be like"
Regarding the current situation in the Red Blossom Pavilion, Luo Wusheng had also learned from Long Dahai and the others before coming to the Wandering Immortal Inn. It seemed that no one in the Red Blossom Pavilion had noticed the disappearance of their number one courtesan.
"Do not worry about those matter, I have made prior arrangement on that side, and while there may be some flaws, by the time the immortal nation reacts, I believe I will have returned to the demon race," Yao Ji said with a light and carefree smile, showing no worries at all.
"That's a pity then. I rarely thought of using this opportunity to redeem your freedom and officially make her my personal zither player," Luo Wusheng remarked.
Luo Wusheng teased with a smile, but he couldn't help but recall the day when the Demon Artifact Pavilion opened. The image of the person before him, playing music that could be heard for ten miles, silencing all around, and yet no one realizing who the musician was.
The methods of Tribulation Crossing cultivators were truly beyond his imagination, even if it was just an untrained external avatar.
"If that's the case, sir, you should be careful of future interrogations from the immortal nation when they discover something unusual," the fox lady said, giving Luo Wusheng a flirtatious look. She continued, "Do you have any other questions you'd like to ask me today?"
Without much thought, Luo Wusheng shook his head, putting aside his concerns.
"Let's stop here for today," he said.
In truth, he had many questions, such as why the suppressed and sealed demon empress could create an external avatar without being detected by the immortal nation, and also about the former emperor of the immortal nation and the new ruler within the demon race.
However, Luo Wusheng felt that these were not the issues he should be concerned with at the moment. No matter how much these Tribulation Crossing cultivators plotted, it wasn't something a mere Golden Core cultivator like him should worry about. Right now, he needs to prepare himself thoroughly, seize the opportunity that would happen four days later, and try to change his fate as Yue Xuanji had suggested.
When Luo Wusheng walked out of the Wandering Immortal Inn, the sky was already getting dim.
First, he glanced at the qi vortex next to his Golden Core, which was gradually stabilizing, and then he stretched lazily.
After deciding to set aside his other doubts, he took the opportunity to listen to a few more pieces of Yao Ji's ethereal fairy music.
During this time, he had been busy as well, using the techniques of the Demon Sect to create many interesting things from his past life to earn the favor of the demon empress.
It's worth mentioning that Luo Wusheng finally found an opponent in chess who was on par with Little Yuli.
Well, although the demon empress had a mature and ladylike style in her human form, occasionally she still displayed a cute charm that was not inferior to her fox form.
That loli really doesn't deceive him.
