I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 232 Borrowing the Road
"This senior."

"My name is Lin Yan!"

Upon hearing those two words, Lin Qingquan's smile slowly froze. He thought to himself, "It must be a coincidence of names, right? It must be a coincidence of names!"

However, after saying that, the other person kept looking at him, and only at him.

Lin Qingquan was immediately terrified, his face turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He shivered as the late autumn wind blew in from outside the door.

"what happened to you?"

Meng Shulan noticed his unusual behavior and was puzzled. Even Zhang Jinwu looked at him in surprise, wondering what was wrong.

They both felt that Lin Yan's eyes were a bit strange. Although they couldn't figure it out, they definitely didn't think that the two of them were father and son.

After all, if you just look at their faces, Lin Yan is younger than Lin Qingquan, so who would be crazy enough to tell that he is his biological father?
However, if you look closely, you can still see that the two look somewhat alike.

“I know it’s hard to believe,” Lin Yan sighed and looked away. “Back then, your grandfather sent me away as a last resort. He probably thought my chances of survival were very slim, and since I was already there, the probability of me surviving was even smaller. He figured I might as well just consider myself dead. I myself thought I would never come back. If I hadn’t met Xiao Qi there and realized the blood ties between us, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now.”

These words were clearly addressed to Lin Qingquan, but they left Meng Shulan and Zhang Jinwu completely stunned. The two stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking at Lin Yan and then at Lin Qingquan, feeling that it was all a bit unreal and that the world was becoming more and more fantastical.

On the other side, Lu Xiaowu and Xiao Qi left the Sanqing Palace immediately after seeing the person off.

As soon as they left, Sect Master Qin and Yuan Zhen's uncle, who planted the spirit fruit tree, breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally gone!
His little eagle (fruit tree) is safe!
After leaving the Sanqing Palace, the two siblings did not go to the border where swords were about to be drawn.

It is said that the Demon King has emerged from seclusion and immediately sought out the Alliance Leader, Han Meizi, to demand the release of the people. Han Meizi refused, and the two began to fight.

The two veteran Nascent Soul cultivators have been fighting for three days, but there is still no clear winner.

Humans were anxious and worried, while demons were overjoyed with a hint of smugness.

Previously, the Demon King was always suppressed by Han Meizi, and would be defeated in a fight after at most a day. But now, they are hoping that the Demon King can win!

If they win, then can the cultivation world, rich in spiritual energy, belong to them?

"Senior brother, will Alliance Leader Han really lose?"

When the two stopped to rest and eat in a small town, Xiao Qi listened to the discussions among the cultivators in the inn and asked with some concern.

Lu Xiaowu didn't know either.

Since the last great battle, the Demon King has frequently gone into seclusion, so it's not impossible that his strength has increased.

Could it be that Alliance Leader Han's lifespan is nearing its end?
If someone has been at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage for many years but is unable to ascend, they will eventually die.

They were hoping to use Hanmeizi to pressure the Demon King and get the area containing Wansheng Valley, but now it seems that this path is probably not feasible.

"Eat quickly, and then we'll hurry up and leave."

Both of them made some changes to their appearance. Lu Xiaowu changed his white outfit to a light blue one, and Xiao Qi added two small mustaches to his upper lip and a black mole to the left side of his forehead with ink.

With such a simple change, his appearance was greatly diminished, making him look completely different from the handsome young man who used to have a scarlet belt around his waist.

Xiao Qi wore a dress for the first time in her life, a light blue French dress with tassels, paired with two round sideburns tied on her head by Lu Xiaowu, making her look adorable.

At the very least, it made Lu Xiaowu want to keep patting her head. In any case, based on other people's previous impressions of the two of them, it's hard to imagine that they were the young man and boy who killed three monsters in one night in Jinshan Town after such a change.

It's no wonder Zhu Song mistook Xiao Qi for a different gender. Her original attire was that of a young man, and given her young age, it's normal for someone who doesn't look closely to not notice.

After the two finished their meal, they immediately left the town and sped along the road, arriving at Dragon's Birth Sea five days later.

"Senior brother, you said this is Xiaolong's hometown?"

Lu Xiaowu nodded, "This is the territory of the Dragon Clan. They belong neither to the Demon Realm nor the Immortal Cultivation Realm; they are an independent entity. Unless necessary, neither side will provoke them, because the Dragon Clan is very powerful, and the old Dragon King has already ascended to immortality. This alone makes both humans and demons wary."

"If that's the case, why was the little dragon stolen by the black snake when it was still a dragon egg? No, it shouldn't have been the black snake that stole it; someone must have switched its snake egg."

Lu Xiaowu didn't care about Xiaolong's background. He asked her, "Are you willing to let Xiaolong come back?"

Xiao Qi doesn't think this is a decision she should make herself; whether or not to reply, whether or not she wants to reply, is Xiao Long's business.

However, ever since she learned that the world membrane could be opened, she did ask Xiaolong this question.

But he refused without even thinking about it.

He felt that he ate and played well in Sanqingshan, lived comfortably in Jiaolongtan, and could even fight with Xiao Huo whenever he wanted. Why should he leave?

Come back home?

What home?

His home is where his sister and Lan's mother are.

So he never thought of leaving, and he even got angry with Xiao Qi for three days because Xiao Qi asked him that question.

“Let’s go. We’ll cross the border of the Dragon’s Birth Sea. The demons won’t dare to approach this area, and it’ll be less likely to be discovered if we take this route.”

Although there are not many high-level demons with the cultivation of Nascent Soul, there are a decent number of Nascent Soul cultivators, a considerable number of Golden Core cultivators, and countless Qi Refining cultivators.

Normally, they fight tooth and nail for territory, but once they go to war with humans, they all rush forward with a roar, eager to fight immediately so as to drive humans out of the cultivation world and make their living space more spacious.

Therefore, the entire border of the demon realm is now crowded with demons, all waiting for the demon king's order to tear apart the human race.

Therefore, if Lu Xiaowu and Xiao Qi wanted to sneak into the demon realm at this time, they had to avoid the densely packed large and small demons guarding the border.

Borrowing a route from the dragons is the best, fastest, and simplest way.

The flying boat and its body were covered with concealment and invisibility talismans, and even the few hiding talismans were used.

The journey went smoothly, at least we didn't encounter a single demon.

The Dragon's Birth Sea was also very calm, without a single wave in sight. But Lu Xiaowu did not relax just because it was calm. He carefully controlled the flying boat to move forward, not daring to release his divine sense to explore the sea, and only paying attention at all times.

In contrast, Xiao Qi seemed very relaxed. She lay back in the flying boat, her arms behind her head, idly counting the clouds flying by in the sky.

Huh?
Xiao Qi blinked, then blinked again. A minute later, she suddenly sat up in the flying boat, tilting her head back and staring blankly at the cloud that had already drifted far away.
