Chapter 139
Yu Xi had never seen black talisman paper.
She used her magic power to probe and could only feel a faint ghost energy. Apart from the discomfort of touching something dirty, it had no killing power.
Judging from what the two monks said, this talisman paper should just be a mark.
As for what the mark was for, she had no idea.
"Sister, I've taken care of it!"
Ji Zhi, who had kicked two monks away, ran back happily and squatted in front of Yu Xi, looking at her expectantly.
Can my sister play with him now?
"Great, great, brother is great!"
Yu Xi's eyes were still fixed on the talisman paper in her hand, and her free hand skillfully touched Ji Zhi's head.
Jizhi smiled even more happily.
"Brother, have you seen this?" Yu Xi handed the talisman paper to Ji Zhi to see.
Jizhi opened his eyes wide, looked at it intently for a few seconds, and shook his head to indicate that he had never seen it before.
It doesn't look like something very delicious.
Seeing this, Yu Xi sighed softly and handed the talisman paper to Ji Zhi temporarily:
"This thing might be dangerous that we don't know about. Keep an eye on it and don't let it hurt anyone. I'll go wake up Big Brother first."
Ji Zhi looked at the talisman paper, then at Yu Xi. After understanding what Yu Xi said, he picked up the talisman paper and wanted to put it in his mouth.
Dangerous things should be kept in the stomach. If they are kept in the stomach, they will not hurt anyone!
"can not eat!"
Yu Xi quickly stopped him, took out a red date as a snack and stuffed it into his mouth, saying angrily, "Brother! How can you eat anything you want? You can't eat this!"
"can not eat?"
Jizhi chewed the red dates, his expression still a little regretful, but he still said obediently:
"Then I won't eat it. Don't be angry, sister..."
Although he promised loudly, Yu Xi was still worried and stuffed a few more dates into his mouth.
After repeatedly reminding Jizhi and making sure that he really would not eat the talisman paper, she entered the illusion where Zhong Xian was with an uneasy heart.
She had to bring Zhong Xian out as soon as possible to prevent Ji Zhi from eating outside without anyone watching!
The illusions that Jizhi and Su Xianyun were in were both very depressing, and she thought Zhong Xian's was the same.
But at this moment she was standing on a crowded street.
The vendors walking along the street were shouting their wares busily, children were running around laughing, and newlyweds walking together were chatting and laughing as they chose hair accessories in front of a stall not far away.
She was stunned for a few seconds, looked around, and found that the street was very long. In the distance, she could see many exquisite pavilions, towering behind the layers of eaves.
While she was in a daze, several children around seven or eight years old suddenly stopped in front of her, staring at her curiously and saying:
"Little sister, you actually have animal ears and a tail!"
Yu Xi then realized that she had forgotten to hide her body. She touched her ear and looked up to see that people passing by would look at her curiously.
But no one showed any fear or disgust.
"Aren't you afraid?" she asked hesitantly.
"Don't be afraid, she's very beautiful!" The children looked at her curiously, laughing innocently, "The city lord told us that any monsters that can enter the city are good monsters and won't hurt us!"
Lord City Lord?
Yu Xi was just wondering which city this was when a group of children surrounded her and asked, "Where are your parents? We haven't seen you before. Did you move here recently?"
Seeing Yu Xi shaking his head, they looked at each other in distress. A little girl with pigtails pounded her palm first and said with finality:
"Let's send her to Granny Liang first. Granny Liang is a good grandmother who specializes in taking care of children!"
Yu Xi came to find Zhong Xian and didn't want to look for Grandma Liang. But before she could say anything, the group of children surrounded her enthusiastically and worked together to send her to a clean and quiet house.
"Granny Liang will take care of lost children like you. We'll see each other after you find your parents. I want to be good friends with you!"
The leading girl touched Yu Xi's head and didn't want to take her hand back because it felt so good.
But she didn't continue touching him too rudely. She said goodbye to Yu Xi with a smile and the other children soon ran away together.
Even though this is an illusion, the emotions I can feel are too real.
Yu Xi stared at the children leaving, completely unable to guess where this place was.
She had been to the human world countless times to gain experience, but she had never met someone who was so unafraid of aliens.
Is this really the human world?
"Little girl?"
An old and gentle voice came from the side. Yu Xi turned his head and saw an old woman with a cane walking slowly towards him. She had white hair, kind eyes, and was in very good spirits.
When she saw Yu Xi, she not only did not show any surprise, but also smiled kindly:
"This is the first time I've seen a half-demon. I heard that half-demons have a hard life. You must have suffered a lot on your way to Qiuluo City, little girl. Come in quickly, I'll prepare something to eat for you."
Yu Xi rarely received kindness from strangers. She lowered her eyelids slightly and asked doubtfully, "Is this...Qiuluo City?"
When she was training in the human world, she had never heard of this city.
"Of course."
Granny Liang smiled and said, "Qiuluo City does not exclude monsters. Our city lord is capable. The monsters here dare not hurt people. Those who can enter the city are good monsters."
Yu Xi wagged the tip of his tail in surprise.
How could a city lord be so powerful that he's not even afraid of monsters?
The reason why the human world sought refuge from the immortal gate ten thousand years ago was to protect themselves from demons and monsters. Could it be that the lord of Qiuluo City is not an ordinary person, but a cultivator?
Granny Liang led Yu Xi in and asked in a gentle voice:
"Little girl, I see you're still young. Do you know anyone in Qiuluo City? Or are you here to look for your parents?"
Yu Xi was indeed here to look for someone. She had been in the illusion for a long time, but she hadn't even seen the shadow of Zhong Xian.
She quickly said, "I'm here to look for someone. I'm looking for my brother. Has mother-in-law heard of a man named Zhong Xian? He is my brother."
"Zhong Xian?" Granny Liang tilted her head slightly, her eyes narrowed in thought. After a moment, she slowly shook her head and said, "I've certainly never heard of this name, but there's only one family with the surname Zhong."
"Which one?"
"Of course it's the city lord's family."
Granny Liang smiled and said, "Our city lord, Master Zhong Wenyu, is the current emperor's chosen number one scholar! He's also a well-known philanthropist in this area. We all call him the Immortal Young Master!"
Speaking of Zhong Wenyu, Granny Liang became more talkative and couldn't hide her smile:
"He refused the emperor's offer to stay in the imperial capital and returned to our Qiuluo City. He built bridges and roads, improved people's livelihoods, opened private schools, and managed to transform our poor and remote area into the prosperous place it is today! The people of Qiuluo City all have a tablet dedicated to Master Zhong!"
