The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 967 seems to be showing off? (2 updates)
Mo Zhi's current state is strikingly similar to that of his subordinate (the giant sea turtle) who craves fish and shrimp.

Long Ling immediately shifted her body to the side, and at the same time, hid the two-headed vengeful spirit snake she was holding behind her back.

"Go get it yourself if you want to eat it. Don't try to get something for nothing from me!"

He also needed to rely on this two-headed vengeful spirit snake to get in touch with the people from the Xuan Master Association so that he could complete the task Yun Ran had assigned him as soon as possible and return home sooner.

So it's not that he's stingy or unwilling to part with such a small amount of vengeful spirit.

Mo Zhi's bright eyes dimmed upon hearing these words.

Since becoming a ghost cultivator, she has long since stopped eating junk food.

But this two-headed vengeful serpent looks delicious... *slurp*
If it were anyone else, Mo Zhi might have just snatched it, but this person in front of her was the Dragon King, so she didn't dare.
Mo Zhi, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, dared not utter a sound in front of the Dragon King.

Swallowing hard, Mo Zhi finally managed to look away.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King..."

Before Mo Zhi could finish speaking, Long Ling interrupted her with a single glance.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Yunran. I'm not a tattletale!"

Mo Zhi: ...

Good heavens, if this weren't the Dragon King, she would have thought it was a tapeworm in her stomach. Otherwise, how would it know what she was thinking?

Although the master doesn't care what she wants to eat or do, she still feels a little embarrassed that she has to eat junk food while following the master.

"As long as you don't cause trouble, Yunran won't care about your messy affairs!"

Long Ling's tone made it seem as if he and Yun Ran had an exceptionally good relationship, giving Mo Zhi the feeling that she was the newcomer.

Actually, she arrived a little earlier than the Dragon King, okay?
Mo Zhi thought this in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

She could only nod to indicate that she understood.

The higher we went up the mountain, the thicker the mist became, and it looked like it was about to rain.

Long Ling calmly took out the black umbrella that Yun Ran had lent him before.

The surrounding mist seemed to have encountered some kind of nemesis, and it all dispersed a great distance away.

Long Ling was very satisfied with this situation.

He had taken a liking to Yun Ran's magical artifact at first sight, and he knew that with their relationship, Yun Ran would definitely be willing to lend it to him if he asked.

However, Long Ling stubbornly refused to speak, for it would be somewhat embarrassing if she did.

This time, if Yunran hadn't insisted on lending him her services, he could have continued to hold on.

Mo Zhi is now half-solid, so she will definitely get wet when it rains.

Long Ling glanced at Mo Zhi sideways: "Aren't you planning to go back to Jade Jade Palace? It's about to rain, so let me make this clear: this umbrella of mine is not for sharing!"

In Long Ling's mind, the only ones he could take advantage of were Yun Ran and his master. As for others, well, that depended on his mood.

If I'm in a good mood, I might lend out things I don't need right now.

But if you're in a bad mood, even if you're going to throw something away, no one can touch it.

Whether this black umbrella is the one he's using now or the one Yunran lent him, no one should try to take advantage of it.

Mo Zhi: ...

Why did she feel that the Dragon King was showing off to her at that moment?

Mo Zhi dismissed the idea as soon as it crossed her mind.

She must be too petty to think of the Dragon King like that; it's so inappropriate!
"Dragon King, I don't need to take shelter from the rain." With that, Mo Zhi opened up his ghost domain, which was invisible to the naked eye.

But when it actually rained, the raindrops around Mo Zhi seemed to touch a colorless, transparent glass dome.

The two-headed vengeful serpent slowly awoke, its eyes now filled with hatred as it stared at the dragon spirit's arm.

Both heads wanted to bite the dragon spirit hard; if they could kill the dragon spirit, that would be the best outcome.

However, just as it raised its head...

He then met Mo Zhi's rather blatant gaze.

The two-headed vengeful serpent trembled violently. Although it was not very intelligent, it could keenly sense that it was about to die.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and a bright light suddenly appeared on Long Ling's arm.

Upon closer inspection, one can clearly see that the arm is covered with a layer of transparent, shimmering scales.

He sensed the hatred of the two-headed vengeful serpent and its eager, almost bite-like movements.

Long Ling scoffed, "Useless thing, you think you can bite this Dragon King!"

Do you really think those dragon scales on his body are just for show?

Long Ling then looked in Mo Zhi's direction: "You better shut up too. You're not allowed to look at things that aren't yours!"

Mo Zhi immediately shrank back. In fact, Mo Zhi's combat strength was not weak. If he really had to fight Long Ling, he would at least not suffer a crushing defeat.

But she was a coward, and a bully who preyed on the weak. After being yelled at by Long Ling, she immediately looked away and stopped looking at the two-headed vengeful spirit snake.

Now, Long Ling was finally satisfied.

He immediately pinched it hard again, and the two-headed vengeful spirit snake, which had just woken up, was pinched unconscious once more.

Just as the rain was getting heavier, they finally arrived at their destination.

If it weren't for the little paper doll scouting ahead beforehand, and Mo Zhi's confirmation that this was indeed the vengeful spirits' stronghold, it wouldn't have been possible.

And 'saw with my own eyes' that this was the path the vengeful spirit had passed through before.

Long Ling really couldn't believe that this place, which at first glance looked like a feng shui treasure land, was actually the stronghold of vengeful spirits.

"Your Majesty, let me go in and take a look!"

Mo Zhi couldn't wait any longer; she had previously suppressed her true nature.

If that two-headed vengeful spirit snake hadn't been in Long Ling's hands, Mo Zhi would have already changed his tune and started snatching it away.

Long Ling surveyed the situation. If he were to release the seal that suppressed his aura, it would be easy for him to probe the area below.

However, since it had been agreed beforehand that their identities could not be easily revealed, Long Ling reluctantly agreed.

"Watch your step, or you'll cause some serious trouble!"

Mo Zhi nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not do anything reckless!"

As he spoke, Mo Zhi's semi-physical form transformed into a phantom and then gradually merged into the underground.

Long Ling stood around, holding an umbrella, looking at the surroundings.

She hadn't noticed it much before, but when she checked carefully now, Long Ling realized that there was no sign of any other living creatures around.

Although the climate here is not suitable for most animals, the complete absence of any is clearly very strange.

Even the trees looked lifeless.
