The giant airship soared into the sky.
Xiao Qing leaned against the stern, her small hand propping up her chin, her eyes fixed on the direction of the sea city.
She was still dressed in green today, but it had changed from a skirt to a practical, tight-fitting outfit.
Xiao Bai was with her, her hands resting on the railing, her fine hair dancing in the wind.
“Sister, if your tribulation changed, would it be easier to become an immortal?”
Xiao Qing asked the question that had been on her mind.
Xiao Bai lowered her head and smiled, her eyes as pure as jade reflecting the sea and sky.
“I don’t know.”
“However, I do feel happier than before.”
Xiao Qing leaned on the railing, shaking her head. Since Xiao Bai felt happy, she didn’t ask any more questions.
On the sea not far away, soft golden light bathed the world.
The City of Rasetsui dissipated into bubbles in the golden light.
Not far behind Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai.
Jiang Xue and Jin Se were playing Go, their black and white dragons battling fiercely on the board.
Xiang Yu and Hua Yun, two terrible Go players, stood beside them, eager to offer advice.
Ao Qing held Xia Gu, looking at a storybook bought in the sea city.
Xia Gu’s face was flushed, her head resting on Ao Qing’s shoulder, enjoying the peacefulness of the moment.
Ao Qing read the storybook while teasing Xia Gu, his mind still figuring out how to deal with Fa Hai.
Should he first take Fa Hai to deal with the Tree Demoness, or go straight to fight the Yin-Yang Demon King?
Speaking of which, Fa Hai’s current realm is about the same as Bai Yun Zen Master’s, both a step away from becoming immortals.
However, Fa Hai, who loves tattoos, is more worldly than the old Zen Master, with greater strength and better fighting skills.
A Tree Demoness might not be enough for Fa Hai to fight.
So he still needs to pick one from Pudu Ci Hang, Heishan, and the Demon King, and the Tree Demoness can serve as the opening small boss.
Just right, he can also go to Lanruo Temple to see if Xiao Qian’s ghost is still there.
Ao Qing doesn’t need Fa Hai to be killed, half-dead is best, let him go and fight with these three great demons, saving him from constantly bothering Xiao Bai.
I wonder how the Kunlun faction is doing.
The last time he sent Zhi Qiu Yi Ye back, there has been no news.
Ao Qing’s thoughts raced, sorting out the countless things he needed to do.
But on the lower level of the airship.
The situation was completely different.
The Lingyin Temple people were actually led by Jiang Long.
Zhao Bin was the Lingzhuzi in his past life, Guang Liang and Bi Qing were the fat and thin fairy boys.
The only one whose past life had nothing to do with Jiang Long, Chen Liang, also listened to Jiang Long’s judgment.
Now that Jiang Long had just awakened, he had no immediate plans to subdue demons and eradicate evil, so the atmosphere among the Lingyin Temple people was quite cheerful.
Jiang Long was teasing Guang Liang and Bi Qing.
Zhao Bin and Chen Liang were sparring, their swords and palms clashing, it was lively.
…
At the Jinshan Temple.
A thunderclap boomed, splitting the clear sky.
The young monk who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes, a sense of urgency sweeping through his heart.
He frowned and began to calculate.
A moment later.
Fa Hai lowered his fingers expressionlessly, closed his eyes and continued meditating.
Heaven’s secrets are unfathomable.
He could only tell that someone was plotting against him.
But the person's killing intent was not strong, it was more like he was annoyed by his disturbance, and wanted to find him a more difficult opponent.
“Hmph, the tricks of the demons, merely a source of amusement.”
Fa Hai slowly entered a state of meditation, ignoring it.
…
The airship slowly descended above West Lake.
It had already been to Lingyin Temple and dropped off the Lingyin Temple people.
However, no one noticed.
A figure in red clothes, taking advantage of Ao Qing’s courteous conversation with Jiang Long, quietly snuck onto the ship.
Jin Se did notice.
But upon seeing that it was a woman, and seemingly an old acquaintance of Ao Qing’s.
Jin Se withdrew her gaze.
There was no point in paying attention.
It was probably another woman the dragon had picked up from somewhere.
Now the airship is descending above West Lake.
The airship is inscribed with formations that transform it into a beautiful, two-story pleasure boat when it touches the water.
While going directly back to the Dragon Palace was also an option.
But all the women said they wanted to stay on the lake for a few more days.
After all, compared to the unchanging scenery underwater.
The scenery around West Lake was undoubtedly better.
Xiang Yu and Jiang Xue even clung to Ao Qing’s arms, acting cute.
They had a faint fear of living underwater.
Since they wanted this, Ao Qing naturally agreed, letting the airship drift on the lake.
The moment the airship entered the water.
Water waves spread out in all directions, shaking the withered lotus stalks on the lakeshore.
It was already winter, so there was naturally no scenery on the lake.
But Hua Yun's call came from behind.
She had organized a drinking party, pulling the women to sit in a circle on the ground, waving cheerfully at Ao Qing.
Dealing with Fa Hai is not a matter for tonight.
Ao Qing smiled, unfastening his wrist guards, and joined them.
…
Jinling, Wang Family.
Although it was night, the lights were still on at the Wang family’s house.
Wang Sheng had said he was going to practice Daoism, and had been gone for four or five years without any news.
Recently, Wang Sheng suddenly returned home and brought back a beautiful woman who claimed to be his wife.
This made the old couple extremely happy.
After dinner, Wang Mu, the mother, happily held her son’s hand and said:
“Son, why didn’t your bride come to eat? Is it because the food here doesn’t suit her taste?”
Wang Sheng yawned and waved his hand.
“How could that be, Yu Niang is a gentle and obedient woman. It's just that she hasn’t been here long and is afraid of strangers.”
Wang Fu, the father, smoked his pipe and nudged his wife.
“Go and see. You women have things to talk about, she came to our house, we can’t let her go hungry.”
Wang Mu went, leaving Wang Fu and Wang Sheng to chat.
Wang Mu went all the way to Wang Sheng’s residence, saw the light on in Wang Sheng’s room, and was about to go in when she suddenly heard rustling noises.
She was a little surprised, curiously leaned against the window and looked inside.
But she saw under the light, a bloody and fleshy ghost, holding a brush, carefully drawing on a piece of human skin.
The rustling sound was coming from the brush rubbing against the human skin.
In an instant, Wang Mu felt chills run down her spine, her heart felt like it was going to stop beating.
