Because Bai Ling wanted to protect Lu Linsheng, the fifth senior brother listened to the younger junior sister and stood behind her silently, and the situation suddenly became deadlocked.
Dong Yuan was slow to act, and the frightened common people nearby began to riot. Someone could not help but shout in the crowd: "Hurry up, Immortal! Kill the monster quickly!"
"Yes, yes! Kill them quickly, they are too scary! They are protecting monsters, they must be monsters too, immortal, don't let them go, kill them all!"
"Yes, I heard that many monsters transform into human forms and mingle among the crowd just to eat people. They must be the same!"
"Kill them! Kill the monsters!"
There were more and more such noises. Bai Ling was furious. He pointed his hammer around and shouted, "Which bastard is shouting down there? Stand up for me! Don't think I won't kill you!"
All those who were looked at by her subconsciously shrank their heads and stepped back. Although she was pretty and petite, everyone present had witnessed her majestic figure as she hammered the monster to death just now. The two lumps of meat on the ground were still clearly visible before their eyes. For a moment, no one dared to speak loudly.
Bai Ling didn't hold back at all. She pointed in the direction of the loudest shouting and started to curse: "I'm not your biological mother, and I have no obligation to protect you. I'm willing to come here to help. It's ok if you don't thank me, but you still want to kill me? Come on, let's see who can kill me. Believe it or not, if you really piss me off, no one here will survive!"
At this moment, everyone was frightened by Bai Ling's villainous look. Those who had been shouting the most fiercely were dumbfounded, the timid ones started crying, and many people huddled together, obviously taking her words seriously.
Bai Ling: “…” Was I scaring you too much
Dong Yuan's expression was complicated, and he spoke in a heavy voice: "I didn't expect that you were also a demon. You and he are actually in the same group. Do you have any ulterior motives for being here?"
What the hell? Bai Ling almost laughed out of anger. "You didn't lose your head while walking. You asked us to help you, not me."
Dong Yuan felt even more complicated when he thought about this incident. He said firmly, "You deliberately attracted my attention and tried so hard to get close to me. You must have a bigger plan. I advise you to give up. Even if I am alone now, I have UFO Mountain behind me. No one can challenge the authority of UFO Mountain."
At this moment, Bai Ling thought of her beloved grandmother in her previous life. When she was still alive, she often said to her, "My dear Hua Wa, you must remember not to talk to those whose heads have been hit by the door."
Grandma is right.
Bai Ling raised the hammer and called out to the fifth senior brother, "Fifth senior brother, let's go."
The fifth senior brother with a fierce look on his face just cooperated with her and played the villain behind her. A large part of those who were crying in the crowd were scared by him.
"Are you leaving now?" asked the fifth brother.
Bai Ling: "Why don't you leave and get married and have a baby here?"
If there was no one on either side of them and they left, Lu Linsheng would follow them.
Dong Yuan: "Wait... You guys, you guys are just leaving like this?"
Bai Ling turned back and glared at him impatiently: "Do you still want to fight with us before you leave?"
They walked away. Dong wanted to chase them, but a large group of people stopped him. "Immortal, you can't abandon us. Aren't you the Immortal of UFO Mountain? Our whole family is a devout worshiper of God!"
"Yes, please don't leave, Immortal!"
Dong Yuan had no choice but to stay and continue to protect the crowd. He felt a little regretful, wondering if he had misunderstood them. The woman didn't look like a bad person. But when he thought of the strange monster, he felt that he was not wrong. A monster like that could tell that he was evil just by the breath. It was good that they could leave without doing anything, otherwise he really had no confidence in defeating them.
Bai Ling walked a long way with a heroic and confident look. Seeing that no one was chasing after her, she held her forehead with her hand and said, "I didn't expect it would turn out like this."
"You are still young. Go out more and you will get used to this kind of thing after seeing it more." The fifth brother patted her shoulder comfortingly, "The master asked you to come out so that you can meet more people."
Bai Ling complained: "Those people are really weird. I didn't do anything bad, and I helped them, but they turned their backs on me and killed me. How can this be so unreasonable? It makes me so angry!"
Fifth Brother: "In fact, among so many people, only a few have truly bad hearts. Most people have a conscience, but the bad ones are louder than the good ones."
Bai Ling: "It's just a simple matter, but it becomes complicated when there are too many people involved."
The two brothers and sisters exchanged a few words, and heard a faint voice behind them, "Are you angry with those people?"
Bai Ling turned her head and saw Lu Linsheng just a few steps away from her on the right, quietly moving. If he didn't make a sound, it would be easy for people to ignore his presence.
“… Why are you still following me?”
Lu Linsheng told her bluntly: "I want to follow you forever."
Bai Ling held down the old shell and asked Lu Linsheng curiously, "Are you a monster?"
Lu Linsheng didn't know what he was, but after thinking about it, he nodded, "Yes."
Bai Ling recalled his appearance, "Are you a monster transformed from hair?"
Lu Linsheng quickly shook his head this time: "No, I don't remember what it was like at the beginning, but I haven't seen anyone like me."
Looking at his gentle and handsome scholar's face, Bai Ling asked: "Is this face of yours someone else's?"
"The first corpse I saw when I came out was this man." Lu Linsheng smiled restrainedly: "If you don't like it, I can change someone else."
Bai Ling waved her hands: "No, no, don't eat people randomly. I was just trying to scare them. I won't kill people randomly. Actually, my sect is an upright one, you know that, right?"
Lu Linsheng nodded and was very easy to talk to, "I know, I don't eat random things." Ordinary people are not good food to him, and he would not choose to eat them if he didn't need to, just like large carnivores are too lazy to eat ants.
Bai Ling heard him say that and felt that this brother must be a good person, no, a good monster. For example, she was a human in her previous life and became a dragon in this life, so she didn't care much about the difference in race. Anyway, she thought it was good, whether it was a human or a monster, she was willing to make friends. If she thought it was not good, she would not care about gods.
"Hey, you're following me, don't you have anywhere to go?" Bai Ling suddenly felt that this monster was like a fledgling bird, probably because she gave him a peach, so he followed her like this. She was a stubborn person who would not give in to soft words, but could not bear to see others in such a miserable state. She discussed with the fifth senior brother, "Fifth senior brother, why don't we let him follow us first? I don't think he is a bad guy."
The fifth senior brother couldn’t feel how evil the aura of Lu Linsheng was. He just thought that since the junior sister said so, she probably also needed to make friends with monsters, so he agreed.
But how could the old Shell agree to leave such a dangerous monster next to his young master? He yelled "No", but Bai Ling ignored him. She was used to this old man yelling "No" whenever she did something.
Bai Ling invited Lu Linsheng to go on the journey with them, "We are going to find the hardest stone to make a sword whetstone. You can accompany us. If you want to leave at any time, please let me know."
"Okay, I won't leave." Lu Linsheng said, and his smile looked like a little white flower.
Bai Ling: This monster is so well behaved!
After they set off, the fifth senior brother reminded Bai Ling: "Junior sister, you've taken the wrong road again. You should go east to reach Yuyan Mountain."
Bai Ling: "I know. Let's not go to Yuyan Mountain first. Let's go to Xucheng first."
Xucheng was the place where they had promised to escort that group of people.
Bai Ling explained reluctantly with a straight face: "I have agreed, but we can't just leave like this. Let's get ahead of them first, and help deal with the monsters that want to eat people when we see them. When they are almost there, we will go to Yuyan Mountain, okay?"
Fifth Brother: “Puff.”
"Okay, let's deal with the monster first, and then go to Yuyan Mountain." Smiling monster Lu Linsheng, a bootlicker who regards Bai Ling as the light of life and the obsession with eternal life.
They walked to the front of the main force, and when they encountered those who would actively attack, Bai Ling would initially swing her hammer at them, but later she found that her hammer could easily beat them into a puddle, and Lu Linsheng wanted to eat even after being beaten like this by her, and Bai Ling couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
"Don't eat them if they're all smashed to pieces." She said this to Lu Linsheng, who obeyed her orders and really didn't touch the strange evil spirits. Bai Ling felt like a mother again, telling her child not to eat the rice grains that fell on the ground.
This thought made her feel uneasy. Next time she encountered a monster that needed to be dealt with, she would not hammer it and let Lu Linsheng eat it. Otherwise, she always felt that she was wasting the child's food.
—She was the only one who would treat Lu Linsheng as a child who needed love and care. The fifth brother watched Lu Linsheng devour monsters along the way, and finally felt a little apprehensive, because among those monsters, there were even a few that he was afraid of. He guessed that even if the master was here, he might not be able to defeat them, but this Lu Linsheng swallowed them normally, just as naturally as he swallowed other little monsters before. Why does such a powerful character listen to the words of the junior sister so much
The fifth brother saw that Lu Linsheng and the little sister got along very well, so he didn't warn the little sister casually. He just observed Lu Linsheng carefully and paid more attention to him. Then he found that Lu Linsheng was really weird. When he was with the little sister, he was always smiling, as if he had no other expression. When the little sister was present, he basically didn't look at anything else. Even if he wanted to look, his eyes and expression were completely different. The fifth brother couldn't say it. He just knew that the way Lu Linsheng looked at him was very uncomfortable, which was completely different from when he looked at the little sister.
Moreover, Lu Linsheng never left Junior Sister's side. Whenever he went to see the two of them, he would find Lu Linsheng following behind Junior Sister, looking at her with that... hard-to-describe look.
Even an outsider like Fifth Brother was a little scared, but Bai Ling didn't notice anything. At most, she found that Lu Linsheng was a little clingy. Maybe he was just a little monster, and it was indeed a fledgling complex, she thought.
When the fifth senior brother couldn't help but come over to remind her, Bai Ling comforted him, "It's okay, Lu Linsheng is just still young."
Fifth Brother: “…?” What? Junior Sister, you are still a young dragon! Looking at the way he swallowed the monster, there is no way he is still young!
Old Beike was even more worried than the fifth brother. Every day he acted like a queen mother trying to break up a couple, wishing to draw a line between the young master and Lu Linsheng. He kept whispering in the young master's ear, "Young master, you must be careful of Lu Linsheng. Even I can't tell his true form. He must be pretending to be like this. Maybe he just wants to eat you!"
Bai Ling was always puzzled by being told this. She looked left and right at Lu Linsheng who was sitting next to her, and saw trust in his eyes and obedience on his face.
She picked a flower and gave it to him. He held it in his hands until it withered and finally swallowed it.
"Don't you only eat monsters? Why are you swallowing this too?"
Bai Ling asked him curiously, and he smiled delicately, "I can't bear to throw it away."
Bai Ling couldn't be blamed for not being alert. The key point was that Lu Linsheng had never shown any malice towards her. She could only wonder in her heart whether it was because of the repulsion between the same sex that her senior brother and Lao Beike had some prejudice against Lu Linsheng.
"Huh - we've finally arrived in Xucheng. Let's take a night's rest and then go back tomorrow to look for stones in Yuyan Mountain." Bai Ling heaved a sigh of relief when she saw a large group of people arriving in the city safely and settling down.
They found a lake outside the city to rest. In order to make it convenient for Bai Ling to soak in the water, in the middle of the night, Lu Linsheng, who was leaning against a tree, stood up quietly and disappeared into the darkness.
A slender figure of a scholar appeared on the quiet street in the city. He followed the scent and came to the door of the largest inn in the city, then looked up at the second floor.
Dong Yuan sensed something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, woke up from his meditation, and suddenly opened his eyes.
A delicate scholar's face was very close to me. Because of the wooden expression on his face and the fact that he was too close, he looked particularly scary.
The candle flame suddenly jumped, and the light in the room dimmed for a moment, but soon became bright again. One of the two figures printed on the wall suddenly expanded, and after a moment, only one figure was left on the wall.
The wind blew open the windows of the room, and there was no one in the house.
Lu Linsheng returned to the lake. He sat down next to Bai Ling and looked at her white scales shining in the moonlight, his eyes full of greed and twisted longing.
His instinct is to greedily eat flesh and blood. Flesh and blood with spiritual energy has a natural attraction to him, but Bai Ling is different. Even if he starves to death, he can't bear to eat her.
The author has something to say: Bai Ling is a good child, and the youngest of the three heroines in the current short stories.
Lu Linsheng... No matter how you think about it, he can't be a good person.
