Chapter 426 Two Flowers Bloom, Each Telling a Story 8
Before the speechless Wei Xi could say anything more, Yu Han stepped aside to make way and said directly, "Lord Bai, please come with me."

His resolute tone and firm attitude played right into Wei Xi's hands, who was determined to cause a ruckus during the Green Moon Tide.

Leaving the guest room, Yu Han led Wei Xi slowly along the coastline that had existed for thousands of years. The ancient, still waters lapped against the dark reefs, making way for the great demon.

The screams of the humans in the distance, sometimes near, sometimes far, reached Wei Xi's ears like a final roar before liberation, reminding her that this land was not for humankind.

The seawater was stained red with blood, proclaiming the cruelty of this monster celebration.

Yu Han seemed to have received Lue Xi's instructions, or perhaps he had noticed the wound on Wei Xi's neck. On the way, this dusty and weary demon began to introduce the customs and culture of the Dongyi people.

Yu Han spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, without excessively belittling the human race, making him seem like a good-natured demon beast at first glance.

But Wei Xi keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Unlike the volatile moss, the silt-covered monstrous creature is a well-mannered demon, even excessively aloof.

This was confirmed in his subsequent nonsensical ramblings.

"The water here in Dongyi is all seawater, which I don't like. The water in the desert is more precious and purer."

Wei Xi was surprised, and Wei Xi became alert.

Yuhan ignored "Lord Bai," or rather, it didn't even regard Lord Bai as such, and said to itself, "I don't like Nanjiang, it's sticky and mushy. It would be good if Second Brother wanted to stay there. The Everlasting Tree has made the area green everywhere, which is a bit too much."

"It's only in the desert, where people fight tooth and nail for a little water, that they truly cherish this hard-won resource. What do you think?"

Wei Xi had to admit that Luexi, Tanxian, and Yuhan were indeed siblings—their malice towards humans was exactly the same, only differing in its manifestation.

Of course, Wei Xi didn't think these powerful demons were unreasonable. The enemy between the demon and human races had been at odds for a long time, so it was understandable that they were ruthless towards their enemies.

Do you think the human race doesn't want to use demonic beasts as sacrifices right now? Do you just not have the ability to do so?

Later generations proved that humans were just as ruthless towards demonic beasts.

Seeing that "Lord Bai" seemed to be deep in thought, Yu Han smiled slightly and continued, "The human race is quite interesting. Pure qualities are rare, but at least they exist."

Yu Han's appearance was very deceptive, but what he said really sent chills down Wei Xi's spine.

"With the Green Moon Tide imminent, Lord Bai should take some time to deal with that little trouble," Yu Han suddenly lost his talkativeness, his tone listless. "The Demon Chief's patience is extremely limited."

Wei Xi sneered inwardly: What little trouble? I am your big trouble!

Wei Xi, determined to cause trouble, looked hesitant. Coincidentally, these ancient demons all loved to force others to do things they couldn't. Yu Han happily bloomed two more flowers and immediately went to find that so-called "little trouble."

Thus, Wei Xi met Zuo Fei for the first time.

To be honest, this wasn't a real meeting. Wei Xi knew very well that the disheveled person in front of him was long dead, and the fish fed on his corpse had multiplied for countless generations.

But Zuo Fei's brilliance far surpassed life and death.

At least in Wei Xi's shoes, trapped inside a sphere woven from vines, his body contorted into an exaggerated circle, he couldn't possibly laugh. The boy inside the sphere was unshaven, probably imprisoned there for at least three days. Seeing someone arrive, his eyes lit up, "Where did this master come from? Let this humble Taoist get to know him!"

Wei Xi glanced around and saw that the person was locked in a round cage made of vines, with a stone beam hanging in the air above. The cage was weighed down by its weight and was less than half a zhang above the sea.

The boy, who called himself "Xiaodao," was imprisoned in a strange, spread-out position, his head pressed tightly against the cage, his still-fat baby fat leaving red marks, but his eyes showed no signs of fatigue.

If Wei Xi had grown up by the sea, he could have accurately guessed how long the person had been imprisoned based on the deep and shallow marks on the hem of the person's clothes.

However, Wei Xi also knew that the tides rise and fall, and with the height of the cage in front of him, the rising water level would inevitably submerge part of it. As for whether the people in the cage could survive, it all depended on luck.

The people imprisoned here have no idea when the seawater will come or go, whether it will reach their waists or soak them over their heads. It is truly a good way to torture them.

Yu Han looked at the person in the cage with great interest, seemingly having enjoyed the spectacle, before finally speaking: "Zuo Fei, aren't you going to back down yet?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Fei stretched his neck (he even bent his lower leg towards his waist for a moment to do so), and shouted, "What do you mean by 'yield'? This humble Taoist is rock hard from head to toe! I can't stand the word 'yield'!"

Yu Han smiled gently and replied, "Is that so? I think you're the most stubborn one. When the Green Moon tide comes, if you're still soaking here, no one can save you!"

Zuo Fei grumbled, "Oh! What kind of talk is that? This tide and that tide, aren't they all just washing me? Even if they make me sprout, there's nothing I can do about it!"

At this point, Zuo Fei winked at Wei Xi, who felt a strange sensation rise in his heart.

Sure enough, Wei Xi heard Zuo Feilai say, "What's wrong, Lord Yuhan? You've come all this way back, and the flowers on your head aren't even blooming anymore! Come soak here! I'll make room for you!"

Yu Han's ability to hide a knife behind a smile is far superior to Tan Xian's ability to lead a bunch of deformed subordinates.

Faced with the deliveryman moving his bottom in an odd posture and smacking his little mouth incessantly, Yu Han simply smiled.

Then, Yu Han slightly moved his fingers, and yin and yang energy swirled between them.

Wei Xi silently took a step back. If it weren't for the fact that she still needed the identity of Lord Bai, she probably would have let this paper-thin body perish with the wind.

With nowhere to hide, Zuo Fei swung around in a circle along with the cage, leaving a vertical circular afterimage in the air.

Wei Xi clicked her tongue in amazement—she couldn't say what kind of character these ancient monsters had, but their tempers were all terrible.

Zuo Fei, who was forced to play out a passive loop in the world of cultivation, was obviously not feeling well either. Her face, which originally had some color, turned pale and she almost vomited.

But as Zuo Fei himself said, he was tough all over, and he was able to stand firm and not beg for mercy.

Yu Han toyed with Zuo Fei for about ten rounds before finally withdrawing his supernatural powers. He then turned to Wei Xi and said, "Lord Bai, this little Taoist priest is not honest. He came to our door earlier for some trivial matter. Now that the Green Moon Tide is imminent, it's not good to keep him around. I beg you, sir, to take action and erase his memory!"

Even "Lord Bai" was unaware of this ability, but this did not prevent the astute Wei Xi from being deeply shocked.

Erasing memories? This Lord Bai from Nanjiang can erase people's memories?
Wei Xi recalled the lost memory and his experiences in Nanjiang. He was now 70% certain that his amnesia was related to the Everlasting Wood.

Given that I brought my "true self" out of Nanjiang, perhaps the Longevity Tree is also involved in the conspiracy!
Sorry everyone, I was a bit busy last week with the start of the school term and missed the update.
