Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 423 Two Flowers Bloom, Each Telling a Story 5
"Since Lord Bai has come under orders, it's not good for him to stay cooped up in his guest room all day. The Green Moon Tide is still three days away, so you need to hurry up and familiarize yourself with the procedures. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the Demon Chief will be in deep trouble."

After speaking, the woman turned slightly to the side, gesturing for Wei Xi to go first.

Wei Xi wasn't the real Lord Bai; he had no idea what the Green Moon Tide was. Which way to go? To a dead end?

Fortunately, there was a skilled person present who disapproved of Lord Bai's behavior and interjected, "He's not worthy of Sister Labor! Just send some mermaids to keep him company!"

Wei Xi immediately seized the opportunity, snorted coldly, turned his face away, and looked as if he didn't want to say anything more to Tan Xian.

Although the cold snort aggravated the still-healing wound on his neck, it had a significant effect.

"Tanxian, go down there to help," the woman said with a headache, clearly thinking of her other troublesome younger brother. "When Yuhan comes back, have him show Lord Bai the procedures."

"Sister! Third brother finally came back for a visit, why not catch up properly instead of making him do all the work?"

"Stop it," the woman glared at the reluctant crocodile. "Do you think I'm willing to clean up the mess you've made?"

Upon hearing this, the moss became completely obedient, maintaining its giant crocodile form as it plunged into the sea, flicking its tail and disappearing from sight.

The deformed monsters that accompanied them were stunned for a moment. The leader, an ugly merman, was the first to react. He jumped into the churning seawater and followed his master.

Thus, Wei Xi, who was forced to remain silent, watched as the monsters jumped into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot, scrambling to get in, afraid of being the last one.

"Take Lord Bai back to his room," the woman said, her tone carrying a hint of humanity that seemed to drift away with the moss on the beach. She then coldly added, "There's been a lot going on lately, so don't wander around. If you cause trouble, who will save you every time?"

"Once the Green Moon Tide subsides, return to Nanjiang as soon as possible!"

Wei Xi, who was very curious about what trouble Lord Bai had gotten into: ...

After the woman finished speaking, she walked away across the flowing water, showing no intention of lifting Wei Xi's silence.

Poor Wei Xi was thus "invited" back to his guest room.

The crab-man's attitude remained respectful, but with a touch more forcefulness.

In short, Wei Xi was forced back into the room.

Poor Wei Xi never knew that crab legs could be so strong and powerful.

The guest room remained exactly as Wei Xi had left it, except for the addition of a defensive spell outside, rendering the outwardly effective Wei Xi helpless.

After confirming that she couldn't sneak out, Wei Xi hid on the bed, drew the curtains, and took out the [Fish Intestine Mirror].

【Fish Intestine Mirror】The mirror surface is as clean as new, with no visible signs of breakage.

Lian Gou's skin was useless now, but luckily he still had some surviving spirit stones in his Qiankun bag, despite his usual extravagant spending.

Wei Xi didn't feel any remorse at all for wasting spirit stones that weren't his own, feeding them more than twenty in a row.

The good news is that [Fish Intestine Mirror] still has an amazing appetite; the bad news is that its appetite is so good that it can't be satisfied with just a few spirit stones.

Helpless, Wei Xi could only put away the [Fish Intestine Mirror], hoping that Qin Feng could hold out until he could activate it again. "Judging from their words and actions, these four demonic beasts should address each other as brothers and sisters," Wei Xi, who was hiding on the bed, seemed serious but actually did not want to believe that the giant crocodile and the beautiful woman shared the same parents. "I have seen Tun Qing. The giant crocodile is Tan Xian and Yu Han has not returned yet, so she is Lue Xi."

"The Giant Crocodile Moss should be larger than the Yuhan and the Swallowing Sun, so the Stream-Catching Demon is the leader of the four demon beasts."

The guest room window remained open, and the screams of the "sacrifice" pounded against Wei Xi's eardrums.

Even someone as ruthless as Wei Xi was affected by the screams of her kin. She could only remind herself that these people were already dead, just like the four demonic beasts led by Lue Xi.

After all, the [Tears of the Dried-Up Sea] is still in his hands.

Forcing himself to shift his focus, Wei Xi concentrated on sorting out the newly obtained clues.

It is certain that Wei Xi lived in an era when ancient monsters roamed the land and humans were mere ants. There are no reliable records of this history not only in the secular world, but also in the cultivation world, where detailed historical materials are scarce.

There are some "parts" of ancient monsters—we're all in this together, and if the founding ancestor hadn't slain a monster that was causing havoc in the region, his disciples and grand-disciples would have lost all face.

As Wei Xi tried to unravel the mystery, he found a bag of colorful glass beads among Lian Gou Lan's strange and wonderful toys.

She laid out four light blue beads in turn, representing the stream, the moss, the silt, and the sunshine respectively; then she took out a bead of the same color, placing it on top of the four monsters, representing the "Sea Warrior" whose true name was unknown; next she took out a green bead to represent the longevity wood, and a red one to represent Lord Bai, whom she was impersonating.

"Lord Bai of the Longevity Wood faction participated in the Green Moon Tide. He clashed with the Devouring Beast, which was punished. The Beach Moss... invited Lord Bai..."

Recalling Tan Xian's initially polite attitude, Wei Xi curled her lip—the crocodile couldn't get mercy, and now her sister had to clean up the mess.

Of course, Luexi is no saint either; Wei Xi, who is parasitizing Lian Gou Lang's body, is still unable to speak...

"Wait a minute!" Wei Xi exclaimed, startled. "Does this Lue Xi recognize me as Lord Bai?"

Although Lian Gouyan is decent-looking and has cunning skills, he doesn't look exactly like someone from thousands of years ago; moreover, Luexi is not only not stupid, but also has great power. If he really becomes suspicious, he would probably have already been bled out as a sacrifice.

Wei Xi's eyes darted around, and two possibilities came to mind: one was that he had already been exposed, and Lue Xi was unsure how to deal with him or keep him for other uses, which was why he had placed him under house arrest; the other was that Lord Bai himself possessed some kind of ability.

It's similar to Lian Gou's "Thousand Faces" or other similar abilities.

If it's the first possibility, Wei Xi thinks he'd rather go bankrupt than not open the [Fish Intestine Mirror]; if it's the second possibility, he can try to check the current layout of the Bone Reef Sea, which might be helpful in getting out of trouble. If he can get the real name of the "Sea Warrior", that would be a huge win.

Wei Xi continued fiddling with the colorful beads, trying to create more connections.

"The Everlasting Wood and the Sea Warriors are both concerned about the Green Moon Tide... The Moon's Shadow Burns Green... There's no clue..." Wei Xishun grabbed a handful of beads, which squeaked in his hand. "The Devouring Sun Beast caused trouble... Luexi cleaned up the mess for the Beach Moss... Could the Devouring Sun Beast be innocent?"

Wei Xi loosened his grip slightly. "Whether he was wronged or not, it shows that something related to Lord Bai was indeed messed up."

Thinking of this, Wei Xi placed a jet-black bead in the middle, "So why is the Green Moon Tide so important to these demonic beasts? So important that the Longevity Tree and the 'Sea Warriors,' which usually do not interfere with each other, have become connected?"

As Wei Xi pondered, he slightly raised his head, a wisp of yin and yang energy emanating from the wound on his neck.

Setting off today, wishing you a safe journey.
