Outside of Green Wood City.
“Monster, monster!”
A scout wearing rattan armor was surrounded by a group of large demons in human form led by their Demon King. The scout was weak, helpless, and pitiful.
“Bullshit! Which eye did you use to see me as a monster?”
A huge man, twice as tall as a regular person with an arm as thick as a waist and horns like iron, spoke in a low, gruff voice.
“Yeah, we don’t look like monsters.”
Mambo frowned, stroking his chin, sparks crackling around him.
He didn’t know how he had been exposed.
“Old Guo, we finally caught a spy, don’t scare him to d*ath.”
Wu Qing gave a signal, then looked at the tightly bound scout.
She coughed lightly:
“We are just martial artists from the human race who practiced mimetic martial arts. You don’t need to be afraid.”
Rumble—
The clouds thickened, lightning flashed a few times, as if it was about to rain.
“…”
The scout shrank, becoming even more afraid.
“Monarch demons, let’s first clarify what happened.”
A bald Golden Robed Young Man said seriously.
The demons were there to help.
Under Shang Qin Qing’s contact, when Li Mo and Ying Bing returned to Green Wood City, they helped repel high-grade disaster beasts.
Leaving aside the fact that the Sky Flood Dragon and the Qingluan Divine Maiden might bring the Monster Clan back to glory.
No normal demon would want the Celestial Divine Jade to fall into the hands of the disaster beasts.
If the Celestial Divine Jade fell into the hands of the disaster beasts, then normal demons would have only two choices: join them or perish.
This is why Li Mo and Ying Bing did not encounter any high-grade disaster beasts on their way back.
Later, the Qianlong List was announced.
All the demons knew their human identities.
But after some discussion, they still decided to help, at least because the Sky Flood Dragon had a good reputation and was willing to share the divine jade with them.
It was better than letting the disaster beasts take it.
So many great demon monarchs used their transformation techniques to become ordinary passers-by who practiced mimetic martial arts…
But they found something wrong when they arrived to secretly support Green Wood City.
The battle was already over?!
“Speak, what exactly happened?”
Bald-headed Peng Lingyuan asked sternly.
“We… lost, the Divine Chief Han was killed, so our army collapsed…”
The scout cried bitterly.
He was just taking a leak in the bushes during his escape when he was suddenly captured.
He would never dare to relieve himself anywhere again.
“Huh? Even now you dare to lie to the demons?”
The eyes of a Great Demon from the Giant Whale Clan bulged, capable of stopping children from crying at night.
“I’ll… teach him a lesson.”
“I swear I’m telling the truth! That Li Mo is not human!”
Mambo was about to use electric shock to make the scout honest, but the latter’s eyes widened in fear.
“Hmm…”
The demon kings nodded.
Indeed.
Under the threat of electric shock, the scout explained everything bit by bit.
“He led a cavalry charge, breaking through a hundred formations, straight to the Divine Chief Han’s palace, using a hammer that shattered several divine statues, and with one blow, he knocked out the Divine Chief Han.”
“Oh, right, there was also that woman. She could command the formation while turning it into a battlefield. Our two elders were killed by her.”
For a moment, the mountain was silent.
The demon kings’ minds buzzed with the word “absurd.”
But this didn’t sound like a lie.
Given the scout’s imagination, he couldn’t have made up such an absurd story.
Just as they were in silence.
A little bird made of green jade flew through the smoke of the noon meal, over the devastated battlefield, and landed on a small hill outside of Green Wood City, transforming into a human.
“Clan Leader Shang, why did you return so late?”
“How is Green Wood City?”
Wu Qing, seeing no signs of her having fought, breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
“It went smoothly.”
Shang Qin Qing put away her motherly smile and said:
“Don’t worry everyone, they are eating dumplings in Green Wood City.”
The expressions of the demon kings were complex.
Warm Reminder: On the top right corner of the page, there are functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Reading Background Color.”
They hurried, fearing they might be too late and Green Wood City would fall within two or three days.
Unexpectedly, the opposite happened.
“There’s nothing for us to do anymore, so shall we… go back?”
“What kind of flavor are the dumplings?”
“They’re paired with vinegar, it’s heavenly.”
“Well, we’re already here.”
…
The atmosphere in Green Wood Camp remained lively.
Especially when someone found a gold bean in their dumpling.
“d*mn, what is this? Gold?”
“Who puts gold beans in dumplings during festivals?”
“Ahh? I just ate something hard, and I swallowed it.”
“No worries, it’s not a big deal. We’ll find it together tonight in the latrine, with lanterns.”
“…”
Tonight, the latrine in Green Wood Camp would probably be very busy.
Ke Mo coughed, and the image of Elder Xue holding a lantern to search for a black pill flashed in his mind, almost causing him to spit out the soup of carefully prepared noodle dumplings by Bingzi.
“This is Young Hero Ke’s gift to everyone. Come, let’s toast to Young Hero Ke!”
Wu Lang shouted as he toasted Ke Mo, and the soldiers cheered.
This seemed to indicate they were going to drink until they were drunk.
Ke Mo turned to look at Bingzi, noticing her smile was a bit gentler, and a small hand gently squeezed his waist.
Didn’t she know he wasn’t fully recovered yet?
Just then, Qu Sheng returned. His hair had regained its lush black color.
That heavy aura had disappeared from him.
“Great favors need not be thanked.”
He said to Ke Mo, then raised his cup:
“I will drink with everyone for Young Hero Ke.”
Qu Sheng led the way, and the soldiers followed, finishing their cups. The atmosphere in the camp became even livelier, everyone relaxing and drinking and chatting.
Ke Mo felt something warm in his chest.
He looked down and saw the bottom layer of the Empty Multicolored Pagoda in his arms emitting a faint glow.
This indicated it was absorbing the power of the masses.
I wonder how much more is needed to match Monkey Brother?
Well, guess it’s not enough.
After all, after purification, the power of the masses in the Empty Multicolored Pagoda can only remain at one-tenth, and the power required to project a grand divine form is certainly exaggerated.
The soldiers outside were too enthusiastic, making it hard to cope.
Ke Mo and Ying Bing entered the nearby military tent.
He lifted his powerless arm, rinsed his mouth, and swallowed the sour taste.
“Why do the dumplings make me hungrier?”
This half bowl of vinegar was incredibly appetizing.
Upon hearing this, Ying Bing immediately stood up to prepare to leave, seemingly planning to learn from the previous experience and introduce Bingzi Brand Dumplings 2.0 to satisfy Xiao Ke’s craving.
But just as she raised her foot, her small hand was grabbed by a somewhat weak big hand. Heaven knows, Xiao Ke couldn’t even hold a skewer steady now, so catching her hand was already quite an effort.
“Didn’t you say you weren’t full?”
“Don’t just eat dumplings, I actually want to eat some skewers.”
“Hmm…”
Ying Bing sat back down, nodded, picked up a skewer, and handed it to Ke Mo’s mouth.
Ke Mo opened his mouth and bit, trying to pull the meat off the skewer, but it wouldn’t budge. The meat seemed stuck to the skewer, causing the attempt to fail.
He blinked:
“Bingzi, try pulling from the other side.”
“But I don’t have my hands free.”
Ying Bing thought about pushing his head, but now her right hand was in Ke Mo’s palm, and her left hand held the skewer.
“You don’t necessarily need to use another hand.”
Ke Mo was stunned.
Ying Bing lowered her gaze to look at her own toes.
There seemed to be no one else in the tent…
Suddenly.
Ke Mo felt a coolness on his left cheek, soft and fragrant.
A gentle push made him pull off the meat from the skewer.
Chewing the mutton, Xiao Ke felt a bit strange.
Didn’t she have no free hands?
Emmmmm…
Ke Mo turned his head.
“?”
