Chapter 89: Ten Thousand Years Ago, I Was Also a Liar
Mo can occupy the bodies of the Ren and Yao races for their own use.
However, that is a feat even low-level Mo creatures can achieve.
Nan Lou, who has reached the height of a Mo Zhu, and the twelve Great Mo under his command possess an additional ability: after devouring a human or a Yao, they can transform into their form, and no one will be able to detect the difference.
It was just as the little sand rat in the desert had said before—the Mo in that underground palace could turn into a sand rat after eating one of his kin, turn into a rabbit after eating a rabbit, and finally transform back into a cultivator after eating one.
Possessing such a unique talent and learning to disguise themselves as humans to toy with human emotions led to unimaginable consequences.
Currently, Nan Lou was finding great pleasure in this.
“Tell the Mo hiding in Chihe Cheng not to act rashly for now,” Nan Lou said, his eyes narrowing. “This time, I want him to walk into the trap I’ve set step by step, and watch him collapse.”
The Mo complied and retreated into the shadows.
Nan Lou tapped his face again, and he transformed back into Zhang Minghe.
He summoned the cultivators of the City Lord’s manor and ordered, “Spread the news. Say that I, Zhang Minghe, and Mingshan Cheng agree to join forces with Lou Yunxiao’s Chihe Cheng to fight the Great Mo together. Anyone willing to join us should gather at Zhongze Cheng at noon five days from now.”
the cultivators’ bodies shook: “Lord Zhang, have you already decided?!”
“Are we really going to launch an attack against the Mo?!”
These cultivators had been hiding and dodging for too long.
Usually, they cherished their lives, but they were also holding their breath, thinking that if one day someone truly led the way against the Mo, they would gather their courage and fight alongside them.
It would be a worthy death.
“Zhang Minghe” narrowed his eyes, observing the reactions of these cultivators, and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
At best, they were a bunch of deceived ants, characters he could kill with a wave of his hand. Did they really think they could contend with the Mo?
However, this was also the interesting part about these humans.
In this way, his plan would deeply allow these people to feel their own insignificance and helplessness.
“Yes,” he answered the cultivator, saying, “This time, we will join Lou Yunxiao in a desperate struggle against the Great Mo.”
…
When Lou Yunxiao returned to Chihe Cheng, it was already sunset.
Flying through the air, he stood above the city.
He could see the orange-red light covering the entire city, spilling over the busy pedestrians and their faces.
The cries of street vendors, the laughter of children, and the playful banter of girls filled the streets.
People he had once saved saw him and waved frantically, calling out to him: “Exalted Immortal!”
Lou Yunxiao pursed his lips, raised his hand, and revealed a smile.
He thought his mother was right.
Not all cultivators would refuse to join forces; at least he had found Zhang Minghe.
In the future, more cultivators would support his mother’s ideas.
Those Mo would also be completely eliminated sooner or later.
Lou Yunxiao did not linger.
He flew back to the south of the city and found that Bai Wanru and Ning Ke were nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.
His gaze fell upon Bai Wanru’s room.
He could feel the Qi of Bai Wanru and Ning Ke.
And now that the two of them were together, it meant his mother and A-Ke were together!
Lou Yunxiao frowned.
He was well aware of Bai Wanru’s flighty personality, and now his mind couldn’t help but worry about how his mother would tease A-Ke.
He took a few quick steps to the door and was just about to knock.
Unexpectedly, the door was pulled open from the inside.
A “woman” in red crashed right into his arms.
A familiar cold fragrance lingered around his nose.
Furry ears flickered in front of his eyes, making his heart feel itchy.
Lou Yunxiao instinctively reached out and gave them a squeeze.
Ning Ke immediately shivered.
“Hey, hey, hey, why are you running? Are you that anxious to let my son see you?”
“But I told you, A-Ke, you’re so good-looking that you can definitely pull off any outfit. Looking at it now, even wearing women’s clothes suits you so well…”
Bai Wanru popped her head out from behind while speaking.
She looked at Lou Yunxiao’s hand squeezing Ning Ke’s ears with a grin.
She asked, “Son, how much longer are you going to keep squeezing?”
“Can’t you see A-Ke’s face is already red?” She tapped her son’s hand and scolded with a smile, “You libertine!”
“…”
Lou Yunxiao finally realized his behavior was a bit perverted.
He quickly withdrew his hand and took a step back.
When he looked at Ning Ke again, his expression couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Ning Ke was wearing a bright red liuxian skirt, which made his skin look as white as snow and his appearance as gorgeous as a flower.
Because his sensitive ears had been touched, his cheeks were flushed bright red, making him look even more shy and lovely than usual.
Snap.
Ning Ke opened his bone fan, covering the lower half of his face and only revealing his eyes.
He suppressed his racing heart and muttered inwardly: Dammit, why are these broken ears so sensitive!
He didn’t want to blush, but this physiological reaction was completely out of his control!
And Lou Yunxiao is truly a freaking closet pervert!
One touch wasn’t enough, he had to touch them so many times. How could he possibly handle that!
It was so awkward he wanted to dig a hole with his toes!
How was he supposed to end this?!
“Apologies.” Lou Yunxiao finally regained his senses, rubbing his fingers together as he said, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Ning Ke didn’t believe his lies! He saw Lou Yunxiao’s finger-rubbing motion!
He had a premonition that as long as Lou Yunxiao had another chance, he would definitely touch them again like that!
This scared Ning the Fox so much that he quickly retreated a large distance.
“And you still say you didn’t do it on purpose.” Bai Wanru raised an eyebrow and said, “You duplicitous stinky son.”
“I’m not being duplicitous…” Lou Yunxiao was about to argue when he was pushed out of the room by Bai Wanru.
Then he watched his mother push Ning Ke out of the room as well.
“No need to cook dinner tonight. Let’s go, let’s go! We’re all going for a stroll through Chihe Cheng!”
As Bai Wanru spoke, she glanced at the old man sitting under the tree over there and smiled. “Old gentleman, you should come with us too.”
The heat on Ning Ke’s face hadn’t subsided. He used his fan to cover his face and said, “Then I’ll go change my clothes.”
Bai Wanru immediately said, “No need to change! Just wear this!”
Ning Ke couldn’t win against her, so he had no choice but to nod.
…
After they went out, Bai Wanru and the old man walked in front.
She deliberately left Lou Yunxiao and Ning Ke behind.
“Did something good happen today?” Lou Yunxiao asked Ning Ke. “My mother seems much happier than usual.”
“Because the Fo Lian Deng has been successfully forged.” Remembering the lamp and what Bai Wanru had said, Ning Ke’s heart sank.
The Fo Lian Deng was indeed forged, but it only possessed the outward appearance of a Shenqi.
For the lamp to truly exert its power…
The forger had to infuse half of their own soul into it, and the process was very dangerous. Even a slight mistake could easily cause irreversible damage.
Bai Wanru had long since made the decision to sacrifice herself, but she knew Lou Yunxiao wouldn’t accept it, so she only told Ning Ke and instructed him that he must absolutely not tell Lou Yunxiao.
She said she would wait until Lou Yunxiao left Chihe Cheng before performing this final step of the sacrifice.
During the time Ning Ke had spent with Bai Wanru, he sincerely admired her.
He knew that although this mother had a temperament that shifted from good to bad, and she loved to joke around and tease him, appearing extremely improper…
In her bones, she upheld the principle that a practitioner of the Dao must take the salvation of all living beings as their own responsibility.
And she practiced it to the end.
Ning Ke knew he couldn’t do the same, which made him admire Bai Wanru even more.
“My mother actually forged it…” Although Lou Yunxiao was good at hiding his emotions, at this moment he couldn’t help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise.
“As expected of her.” He looked at Bai Wanru’s back ahead, his eyes shimmering with admiration and pride for his mother.
Hearing this, Ning Ke used his fan to cover his face and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his concerns were already hidden.
He also smiled and chimed in, “Yes, as expected of Auntie Bai.”
He thought that, as it turned out, he was simply fated to be a liar.
It was so ten thousand years later, and it was still so ten thousand years ago.
