Chapter 427 Is it difficult to be a person?
The long street was decorated with lanterns, and the crowds were dense.
Xue Lan walked slowly down the long street, swept along by the cheerful flow of people.
The inner demon slowly followed behind Xue Lan, carrying a round lantern in its hand.
"I never imagined that Lin Buyu's illusion would contain such a lively and beautiful human scene."
The inner demon spoke softly, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
"It's not a city in the lower realm."
Xue Lan slowly raised her finger and pointed to a long river of lanterns floating above their heads. The lanterns, radiating bright light, were suspended in mid-air and connected by faint threads of spiritual energy.
The cities in the upper realm are different from those in the lower realm. Apart from some large cities occupied by demons, the rest of the cities are under the control of human families, where mortals and cultivators live together.
"I know."
The inner demon nodded slightly, then began to calculate with his fingertips.
"Mount Junling in the Upper Realm. It is indeed near the territory of the Qilin clan."
"Junling Mountain, in the western part of the Upper Realm," Xue Lan said softly, her tone slow.
"If you go a little further west, you'll reach the Vast Dragon Domain."
The inner demon chuckled upon hearing this: "This place was conjured based on Lin Buyu's memories. If you want to go to the Vast Dragon Domain to seek death, at least take back your own body, right?"
Xue Lan continued walking forward, her voice as light as the wind:
Do I look like someone who'd like to court death?
The inner demon remained silent, carrying the lantern and leaving Xue Lan behind as it walked forward.
The two walked slowly forward with the flow of people, and the further they went, the more lanterns appeared around them, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Through the crowd's lens, Xue Lan saw the inner demon standing quietly.
Before the woman in white with white hair was a huge Qilin lantern.
The inner demon's voice sounded somewhat hoarse:
"I suddenly realized that what I was carrying in my hand wasn't so fun anymore."
The woman pointed to the enormous Qilin lantern:
"Make one for me in my mind's eye."
Xue Lan didn't want to talk to her.
That was her sea of consciousness, not some wild land unclaimed and freely decorated by its owner.
The octagonal pavilion and the broken door that used to be used as a seal were the only two things Xue Lan could tolerate.
Don't even think about anything else.
Suddenly, Xue Lan sensed a familiar presence amidst the bustling crowd.
The woman smiled gently at the inner demon in front of her, and a wisp of extremely faint demonic energy appeared at her fingertips, slowly flying towards the inner demon's sleeve.
The inner demon had long anticipated that Xue Lan wouldn't agree, but she still wanted to act foolishly.
She attributed this to Xue Tong's poisoning.
"Girl, do you like this?"
A clear female voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling the inner demon, who turned his head slightly to look at his side.
Beside the inner demon stood a girl dressed in light purple, with delicate features and a gentle smile.
Lin Buyu was a boy.
The inner demon wore a forced smile:
"Yes, I want it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Buyu spoke with great bravado:
"If you want one, I can give you one." The girl's beautiful eyes sparkled.
"The people of Fuguang City are celebrating today, and it's quite noisy. You don't seem to be someone who enjoys crowds, so why don't you come with me to Junling Mountain?"
The smile on the inner demon's face froze. The woman lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow on her face.
"The Qilin of Junling Mountain? Are they all so fond of guessing what others are thinking?"
The woman's voice was cold, and her gentle face looked frighteningly cold under the warm yellow light.
"Oh!"
Lin Buyu spoke softly, and the girl's bright smile vanished. In an instant, the demonic pressure emanating from her body subtly bypassed the mortals around her and landed on the inner demon.
"As I said before, you should stay in the desolate region forever and never set foot in my upper realm."
The girl's tone was icy, and a layer of beautiful emerald green filled her eyes.
"Young lady, Junling Mountain cordially invites you!"
I am not afraid of inner demons at all.
The girl's cultivation level was not yet high enough, and the pressure she felt was not as heavy as Xue Lan's.
It was less like being intimidated and more like someone gently patting her.
What she was most curious about was how Lin Buyu, with his current strength, could detect the demonic energy on her.
The woman's eyes slowly moved twice, then she turned her head slightly to look behind her.
As expected, Xue Lan, who had been standing behind him, had vanished without a trace.
The inner demon slowly raised his hand and plucked a wisp of demonic energy from his sleeve.
The woman's voice carried a hint of barely concealed anger:
"Xue Lan, aren't you being childish?"
The celebration lasted all night, and all the mortal cultivators in the entire Floating Light City flocked to the city center, making the city's outskirts exceptionally deserted.
A woman in a ginger-yellow dress landed lightly on the roof ridge like a nimble bird, her wide hem fluttering gently.
Xue Lan's voice was filled with undisguised laughter, brimming with schadenfreude:
"It's not that I want to bully you."
"But I just calculated that Lei Chuxi is actually in this illusion."
"I'm in a hurry to cause him trouble, so I'll leave Lin Buyu to you."
After saying this, Xue Lan lightly touched the ground with her toes, and instantly disappeared into the desolate night, flying eastward.
"Xue Lan, is it difficult to be a person?"
The inner demon wanted to curse Xue Lan, but Lord Wolf King didn't say a word, as if he were dead.
For Xue Lan in this life, face and reputation are nothing but fleeting clouds.
Unable to quell the inner demons, he turned his attention to the person in front of him.
The woman gently flicked the wisp of demonic energy with her fingertips:
"Did you determine my identity based on this demonic energy, young lady?"
The woman chuckled softly, looking into Lin Buyu's eyes as she slowly spoke:
"Wasn't that a bit... careless!"
Before the woman could finish speaking, a sharp claw with jet-black nails had already gripped Lin Buyu's shoulder, piercing through layers of magical protection in an instant and digging firmly into the girl's shoulder.
Lin Buyu endured the excruciating pain and summoned a small, cyan cauldron with her unrestrained left hand. However, the person behind her reacted too quickly, stirring up the surrounding spiritual energy the instant she made her move. Powerful demonic energy surged into the girl's body in an instant, abruptly severing her control over the cauldron.
This isn't the same demon from before!
This thought came to Lin Buyu's mind.
The moment the inner demon attacked Lin Buyu, the powerful auras hidden in the darkness were revealed, led by a middle-aged man with two strands of white hair at his temples.
The demon's other hand sprouted sharp claws that gently poked at Lin Buyu's neck. The dark demonic energy corroded the girl's body, causing her to gasp.
The voice of the inner demon appeared in Lin Buyu's ear:
Being aggressive is not a good habit.
"You beast!" the middle-aged man opposite shouted angrily.
"Let go of my lady!"
Upon hearing this, the inner demon's expression subtly changed.
She just blurted it out so sweetly.
If the demons knew it was your young lady, they wouldn't even want to kill her, they'd still take a bite!
The inner demon looked at Lin Buyu with a hint of sympathy.
Unexpectedly, this prodigy of the Qilin clan was actually playing the role of a clan rebellion!
