The message that the Broken Sword sent back to its new master was very simple, consisting of only four words when translated.
[Slipped away]…
(Was it in trouble? Uh... Based on the bad character it has shown in the past, this possibility is indeed possible. The education of the Sword Emperor family is indeed problematic...)
Luo Wusheng fell into deep thought.
Judging from the speed of the broken sword, it would probably reach him in a while... If it really caused trouble, how would he distance himself from it... No, how would he solve the problem
"I'm overthinking... I don't even know the details right now."
Shaking his head, Luo Wusheng remembered this matter first, withdrew his gaze from looking at the Sword Emperor's Broken Sword which was unknown how far away, and moved again after stopping.
What he didn't know was that in the place where he had just looked, a chicken figure that he could not see let out a long sigh of relief.
Chapter 323: First Visit to Qifeng City
The long street of Qifeng City.
The invisible shadow of the chicken was moving stealthily among the crowd, locking its target firmly.
After being discovered once and almost thinking he was discovered again in Changfenglou, Ji Guanshi is now more careful in his actions.
Originally, it was planning to follow a certain demon saint in a deserted place with a wide field of vision, but in the end, after hesitation, it chose to hide in the city.
In this way, even if the backlash occurs again and its chicken feet are accidentally exposed for a short period of time, it should be difficult to be discovered.
As for why it had to observe so closely... Well, after arriving in Qifeng City, it discovered a big problem.
It had no way of sensing where the thing it was trying to obtain in Qifeng City, which could purify the ancient phoenix spiritual pollution in its body, was.
This also means that it has to rely on the information that the Holy Son of the Demon Sect may know.
(I know that something might exist in Qifeng City because of the inheritance secrets related to the ancient phoenix demon clan in the demon land, and he... although I don’t know where he got the ancient phoenix spirit breath from and why he didn’t refine and absorb it, but since he came to Qifeng City after suddenly getting in touch with the ancient phoenix, the probability that he knows more about this matter is very high...)
It's worth taking advantage of!
The chicken manager felt a little proud.
The world knows that the intelligence of the demon race, especially the low-level demon race with ordinary bloodlines, is worrying. Even the demon race itself cannot refute this. But it is obvious that he has left that low-end group and completely entered a new level. He is a great demon with superior intelligence.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with my analysis!
Especially after arriving in Qifeng City, the suspicious nature of the Demon Sect's Holy Son gradually became exposed.
Although at first glance, the other party was just strolling around the street, buying some things with the girl beside him... But the Demon Sect Saint was clearly doing some small moves in secret.
However, Manager Ji couldn’t quite understand why he had to secretly buy some of Qifeng City’s specialties again and hide them in his storage bag.
What was the purpose of doing this? Could it be that in order to obtain the special thing left by the Phoenix Demon, this mortal object must be sacrificed
Or maybe my previous exposure aroused the suspicion of that person? So he was confusing people in this way...
Manager Ji fell into deep thought, but still followed closely, and did not try to get the things that the Demon Sect's Saint bought.
No matter which possibility it is, the other party's behavior is obviously hiding something.
As for what information was hidden, Ji Guanshi felt that it was self-evident.
All it needs to do is to steal the treasure. Even if a certain demon sect's saint successfully obtains that thing, in the end only the ancient phoenix spirit breath and ancient demon pupil on its body will fall into its hands.
Next, just wait and observe carefully.
As a highly intelligent demon, Ji Guanshi thinks he is very patient.
… …
Luo Wusheng is quite satisfied with his current situation.
When he went out on the street with two beautiful girls, he now attracted envious, jealous, or speculative glances from passers-by.
However, no one recognized him as the Holy Son of the Demon Sect.
Well, his name had indeed spread to Qifeng City, but after all, he had not even appeared in the Royal City very often. People in the Royal City could still recognize him through word of mouth, but that was not the case in Qifeng City.
Especially since he had changed into a new outfit.
Dressed in fine clothes and wearing exquisite jewelry, he exudes the aura of a young man from a wealthy family.
Naturally, this outfit was still prepared early by my lovely junior sister.
A certain sword fairy lady who, apart from practicing swordsmanship, only acts cute most of the time, doesn't even pay attention to her own appearance, let alone prepare anything for him.
In short, even if someone has vaguely seen him, it would be difficult to confirm it in this situation.
At this moment, a voice came from in front of him.
"Sir, this is the Fengxian pastry you requested."
Luo Wusheng looked at the bags of crispy and sweet snacks handed to him, nodded with a smile and put them in his arms. Then he moved his body slightly, found a dead corner, and unnoticeably took out two bags from the bags and threw them into his storage bag.
This set of movements was smooth and flowing, as if he had tried it countless times.
After completing this step, he used some of his spiritual awareness to probe into his storage bag... At present, he had stored at least one piece of the specialties of Qifeng City that he had seen in this storage bag.
(So much, and most of it is food... My Frost and Snow wife probably won't be able to finish all of this in a short time, right? But it's okay, with the food preservation technology in this world of immortal cultivation, there will be no problem keeping it for ten days or half a month...)
Today is already the second day since I returned, but I still haven't figured out how to deal with Xiao Yuli when I learn that she has lost her harem.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. For now, I'll keep the favorability up and try to avoid a cliff-like drop that goes directly below negative numbers.
Thinking of this, Luo Wusheng put on a slight smile on his face, walked around a few passers-by, and walked out of the store called Fengxian Shop.
As soon as he came out, he felt the familiar soft touch on both sides again.
The fragrant breeze filled Luo Wusheng's nose, causing his heart to flutter.
(Sure enough, my favorability wasn't gained in vain.)
Looking at the two beautiful girls who quickly occupied the positions on his left and right, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but sigh.
Well, it's understandable that the little demon girl sticks to me as my junior sister, but as for Xiao Yuli...
He obviously would not have done such a thing before, unless he was in the onset period... Was it because he saw his junior sister setting an example, so he lowered his bottom line a bit
But there must be a reason why I have gained enough favorability.
Putting his thoughts aside, Luo Wusheng said "yes" and lifted the bag of Fengxian pastry in his hand slightly, which was quickly taken by two small hands.
"Um… "
Miss Jianxian, who is a sweets lover, had a slightly red face but a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
It can be seen that this girl really likes to eat this.
On the other side, Bai Xiaoyao still maintained that smiling look.
"Hehe~ Thank you, Senior Brother~"
The little witch said this as she put the things she took into her storage bag, but there were still two pieces of Fengxian pastry in her tender white hands.
Then the little hand quickly moved to Luo Wusheng's mouth, took a piece of Fengxian pastry with two fingers and skillfully stuffed it into his mouth.
Luo Wusheng was slightly stunned as he felt the sweetness bursting out in his mouth, but he saw his junior sister gently push another piece of Fengxian pastry into his own exquisite little mouth.
Feeling the gaze of her senior brother, Bai Xiaoyao's mouth corners slightly raised, and a small pink tongue stretched out from her open mouth, gently sliding across the fingers that were covered with powdered sugar.
Watching this scene, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but swallow his slightly sweet saliva, but his arm was pulled by the little witch's other hand.
"Brother, what's wrong? You keep staring at Xiao Yao..."
Bai Xiaoyao blinked her eyes, looking pure and innocent: "Didn't you say you wanted to go see the Phoenix-inhabiting Chinese parasol tree in the city? We can only see a little bit of the treetops here?"
"Ah, uh, well..."
Luo Wusheng, who had just come to his senses, responded subconsciously.
Xiao Yuli, who was standing by, glanced at the snacks in her hand and then looked around her.
The big bag of Impatiens in my hand suddenly lost its fragrance.
Chapter 324: Running with the Light Behind (Part 2)
The two little girls now felt a sense of crisis for some reason.
Lu Yuli discovered that her little demon sister was really very clever. In the short time since entering Qifeng City, the world-famous little demon girl had teased a guy next to her more than once... and the other party was much more prepared than herself, even preparing new clothes early on.
Compared to this, I, who only came here a day in advance to check out the tour route of Qifeng City, have no advantage at all!
As expected, she is the witch I know... so terrifying!
On the other side, Bai Xiaoyao, who had once again gained a slight advantage, had a gleam in his eyes.
To be honest, after she met Yu Li again and confirmed some things during the conversation, she no longer took that weird little girl seriously as an opponent.
This time, she was going to play along with her naive friend, reminding him to stop using such petty tricks that could be seen through at a glance, and also take the opportunity to experience the feeling of traveling with her senior brother...
But after the previous incident in the woods, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
My senior brother trusts Sister Yuli too much.
Although the existence of that special spiritual chicken was confirmed in the end, before that, Luo Wusheng had never doubted the possibility that the spiritual chicken did not exist, and actively pretended to test it, allowing the little witch who was good at reading people's minds to discover the highlight.
There is a problem.
Feeling a sense of crisis, Bai Xiaoyao almost subconsciously changed his strategic approach.
It did have some effect.
Luo Wusheng fell into a brief contemplation as he looked at his junior sister who was holding his arm, leading the way half a step in front of him with an expectant smile on her face.
If he didn't know this girl's personality, and only looked at her current performance, he would probably think of her as a cute, innocent and lively girl like an elf, right
(The fickle witch... The author of Laosiji is not lying to me.)
His junior sister should be able to become a veteran actor like him, and there will be someone to succeed him in his title of Best Actor.
The Demon Sect's Saint, who had just been teased, expressed his relief.
But for some reason, Xiao Yuli on the other side became a little quieter, and even stopped eating snacks... But the hand holding her became much tighter.
After thinking about it, Luo Wusheng suddenly stopped.
The two girls who had always had their hearts set on him quickly reacted and gave him slightly puzzled looks. Bai Xiaoyao even tilted her little head and called out "Senior Brother" in a questioning tone.
Luo Wusheng smiled mysteriously.
“… I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to give you something.”
His spiritual consciousness probed into the storage bag, and then two objects appeared in the clasped palms of him and the two little girls.
Lu Yuli and Bai Xiaoyao were both stunned. They took out the thing in their palms, placed it under the sunlight, and saw its appearance clearly.
They were two identical small, exquisite wooden ornaments carved into the shape of the legendary phoenix.
"I happened to see this at Changfeng Tower before... It's a rare visit, so it's always good to take this thing as a souvenir."
Well, actually, it’s a small gift from the owner of Changfenglou as he rarely sees such a big customer.
As Luo Wusheng expected, Miss Sword Fairy seemed to be in a better mood after receiving the small gift, while the little demon girl, who seemed to be in a good mood to begin with, took back the half step forward.
Feeling that the delicate balance of the atmosphere had been restored a little, Luo Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief.
… …
The two girls, having recovered, started walking slowly as before, acting as tour guides for Luo Wusheng and explaining some of the surrounding shops.
"Ah, that's the Weapon Refining Pavilion in Qifeng City..."
"Hey, there are several girls looking at you in that place called Chunfeng Tower. But you never go to that kind of place, right?"
Listening to the clear and pleasant voice of the girl beside him, Luo Wusheng sometimes nodded and sighed, and sometimes responded awkwardly, but his eyes were constantly paying attention to whether there was any place that would make him think that "the ancient phoenix spirit should be planted here."
But unfortunately, it didn’t.
(If the Qifeng Wutong wood is not the right choice, then visit a few more historic sites and go to Xiaofeng Mountain...)
Looking up slightly, across the crowd and buildings, a huge dead tree is clearly visible. There are only scattered red and yellow dead leaves on its branches, but it does not look depressed or lonely at all.
Because the branch is tied with countless red ropes, and there are various decorations on the outside, it is quite interesting.
