Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 133, Section 132: Young Master Lu, please don't pounce on me!

"Where is this?"

Lu Changyuan frowned and said, "I don't know either."

Looking around, there were wooden tables and benches, and a bed, suggesting that it was in an inn.

Lu Changyuan felt that the surrounding layout looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Why is there a secondary painting?"

They emerged from the painting, which was now lying on a wooden table not far away.

Qiu Yuehan blinked, rolled up the painting, and then put it away: "This is the painting from the Palace Library. How did it end up here? I'd better keep it safe and give it to my junior sister later."

Lu Changyuan didn't think carefully about why the painting was here.

I thought following the painting would lead me into another ink painting space, but I didn't expect that this painting was actually a passageway.

The Demon of Painting is dead.

"Aren't we going to keep chasing them? Judging by this ink stain, they must have escaped that way."

Seeing that Lu Changyuan had stopped moving, Qiu Yuehan stopped moving as well.

Lu Changyuan shook his head: "We're not going to chase it anymore, it's already dead."

That was just an empty shell; even if Lu Changyuan caught up with it, there would be nothing to eat, only to kill it. Now it seems someone helped him by killing the Painting Demon for him.

That saves effort.

Qiu Yuehan was slightly surprised: "How did you know?"

Lu Changyuan did not answer the question; a dazzling gold suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The Blood Dragon is about to be born.

He suddenly smelled the scent of the Blood Demon.

Back when they were in Longshan, Lu Changyuan only ate half of the Blood Demon. Later, the little fairy told Lu Changyuan that the other half of the Blood Demon had escaped three thousand years ago and was later captured and imprisoned by the Blood Demon Lord.

Ultimately, the sustainable practice of draining the pond to catch all the fish led the Blood Demon Lord to comprehend the Yao Guang Blood Path.

But now Lu Changyuan smelled the scent of the other half of the Blood Demon, which means that they came to the vicinity of the Blood Demon Palace through that painting, since the Blood Demon was imprisoned below the Blood Demon Palace.

Not only that, Lu Changyuan also noticed that his mental cultivation technique was spinning wildly.

The "Mantra for Transforming the Five Desires and Six Dusts into the Mind" is about to advance to a higher level

It seemed as if something was about to be revealed, but it was still a little short.

Lu Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly; he was going to find the remaining half of the Blood Demon.

I just don't know what the relationship is between the so-called Blood Dragon and Blood Demon.
Seeing that Lu Changyuan didn't speak, Qiu Yuehan assumed that Lu Changyuan had some secret. She had heard from the female disciples in the palace that men all have some secrets and that one should not ask them easily, otherwise it would affect the relationship.

So he simply stopped asking questions and followed Lu Changyuan as he opened the door and went downstairs.

This is indeed an inn.

The owner saw them coming downstairs and kept working on his abacus: "If you two want to stay, you'll have to pay."

Lu Changyuan paused for a moment, then walked to the door and took a look.

Yingfeng Inn.

I went back to take another look at the boss.

It looked familiar. Back then, when I was on my way to Tianshan with Su Youwan, we stopped in a town to rest and chose Yingfeng Inn.

The boss in front of me bears a striking resemblance to the boss I knew back then.

Lu Changyuan's eye twitched slightly.

Is this boss some kind of old, eccentric Taoist? Maybe he practices some kind of abacus magic?

I've seen the path of enlightenment before, which relies on calculating accounts for others.

That man was a money-grubber who spent all his time calculating money. Later, he was almost corrupted by lust, which is when he changed his ways and turned calculating money into calculating accounts for others.

Qiu Yuehan stepped forward, her graceful figure radiating elegance. She softly asked, "Who is staying in Room Number Two of the Heavenly Rank?"

Room No. 2 of the Heavenly Class is the room that Lu Changyuan and Qiu Yuehan came out of.

The boss didn't look up, but was still fiddling with the abacus that never seemed to stop: "I can't disclose the customer's information."

Qiu Yuehan placed a token on the table.

"It's Master Zihua from the Qingluo Painting Palace," the shopkeeper said, glancing at the sign and straightening up.

What token?

Lu Changyuan turned his head to take a look.

It turned out to be a token from the Taoist sect.

Qiu Yuehan put the token away and turned to Lu Changyuan, saying, "The vice sect leader gave it to me, saying I can use it when it's inconvenient to be outside."

After all, she's the junior sister.

Lu Changyuan paused for a moment, then asked, "What about your token as the chief disciple of Miaoyu Palace?"

"It's here, but we probably won't have a chance to use it," Qiu Yuehan said. "So, shall we go back to Tianshan?"

She hadn't had enough time alone with Lu Changyuan yet.

boom!
Lu Changyuan held the sword in his hand and placed it in front of Qiu Yuehan. Something hit the sword; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a snowball.

Someone rolled a snowball and threw it at me.

Qiu Yuehan looked in the direction Xueqiu had come from and saw a person dressed in black robes leaning against the side wall, peeking out half of their masked head and looking at them furtively.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside a stilt house on an outer island.

"Can't you, you hermaphrodite, learn to be grateful? I saved your life."

Mei Zhaozhao glared at the half-dead Xueyanluo with annoyance.

"It took me a lot of effort to save you from that leg-eating monk."

Xueyanluo coughed, clutching his chest: "It's not like I asked you to come and save me."

"You!" Mei Zhaozhao gritted her teeth: "I don't want you to go back to the Blood Demon Palace. Why don't you think of a way to bring me into the inner island?"

The inner island of the Blood Demon Palace has a magic array that ordinary people cannot enter. Mei Zhaozhao accepted the mission and came here, so naturally she had to find a way to sneak up to the inner island.

Just then, Mei Zhaozhao saw the Leg-Eating Monk chasing Xue Yanluo on her way here. She decisively stepped in and saved Xue Yanluo. She was secretly pleased, thinking that with Xue Yanluo, a local, leading the way, this time it should be a sure thing.

Unexpectedly, Xueyanluo flatly refused, only telling Mei Zhaozhao that what she had done was to transform the dragon bone, but refusing to take Mei Zhaozhao to the inner island.

The reason is simple: they'll die.

Mei Zhaozhao has not yet entered the fifth realm. Once she is discovered inside, she may not be able to escape due to the existence of the great formation. Her fate will likely be to be thrown into the Blood Prison to be fed to insects.

Moreover, the inner island is fraught with danger, and anyone entering without a token faces an extremely slim chance of survival.

bang bang.

Mei Zhaozhao said, "Go in."

Bai Wei walked in carrying a small bowl of medicine.

"Young Master, please drink up."

Xueyanluo's expression softened, and he picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"I don't know much about the matter of the Dragon Bone Transformation. It was the Blood Demon Lord who instructed me to do it, but during the process of collecting materials, I always felt that the Blood Demon Lord had a big plan."

He had already told Mei Zhaozhao about the Blood Demon Lord's desire to revive the Dragon Bone.

"I didn't come here to extract the dragon bone. I came here to see who the next Blood Demon Young Master will be besides you. The palace needs to confirm this."

"So you've confirmed it all, and now you're sending someone to offer themselves as your bedmate?" Xue Yanluo sneered. "In that case, you don't need to come to the island at all, because the position of young master, besides me, should belong to my foolish younger sister." "Xue Nishang?" Mei Zhaozhao's brows, hidden beneath her black robe, furrowed deeply. "That woman who competed with you since childhood, then saw you switch to Yin-Yang cultivation and become even more beautiful than her, and then hated you to the bone?"

Xueyanluo coldly said, "If you can't speak, you don't have to!"

"Did I say something wrong?" Mei Zhaozhao said again, "No, I still have to go to the inner island."

"Looking for death?"

The air fell silent for a moment.

Seeing Mei Zhaozhao standing there without speaking for a long time, Xue Yanluo seemed to have thought of something and said incredulously, "You did this on purpose?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Before Xueyanluo could ask any more questions, a loud noise suddenly came from afar.

The three of them walked to the window and looked up.

Bai Wei said timidly, "It looks like there's a big yellow dog flying in the sky."

indeed so.

"Don't run! Don't run!"

A monk was following behind them.

Mei Zhaozhao said incredulously, "Qingluo Painting Palace? How could a high-level cultivator from Qingluo Painting Palace be here?"

"You're asking me? How would I know?"

Mei Zhaozhao pulled her black robe tighter: "I'm afraid it's one of your brothers who sent these helpers. I'll go and check."

Despite saying she was going to take a look, Mei Zhaozhao couldn't keep up with Master Zihua's speed at all. Fortunately, she could only head in the direction Master Zihua had come from, hoping to find a few people who knew the inside story and ask them about it.

As soon as they arrived downstairs, Mei Zhaozhao's eyes widened in surprise.

Look what she saw—a live, breathing thigh!

Mei Zhaozhao thought and thought, but couldn't think of a way to go up and greet them, so she turned her head to look at the snow not far away.

It was still winter, and there was still a pile of white snow in the corner. Mei Zhaozhao made a snowball and threw it at Qiu Yuehan with a whoosh.

"Why are you starting to throw snowballs?"

Lu Changyuan naturally recognized Mei Zhaozhao.

He remembered the last time he played snowball throwing, which was more than a thousand years ago. He and the Lord of the Sun and Moon Palace were just playing around without using their magic powers. In the end, he even stuffed a snowball down the back of the Lord of the Sun and Moon Palace's neck, making the other person shiver.

That happened a long time ago.

"Young Master Lu, I am so happy to see you."

A melodious sound, like the gentle tinkling of silver bells, came from beneath the black robe.

Mei Zhaozhao skipped over: "I wonder what brings Young Master Lu here this time?"

Lu Changyuan did not want to get involved with Mei Zhaozhao.

But upon closer reflection, the other party had given him a copy of the "Yin Yang Harmony Origin Scripture," which could be considered a favor. Moreover, if this favor were to be quantified, the fact that it would allow Lu Changyuan to defeat both the Palace Master of Miaoyu Palace and the Underworld Lord alone in the future would not be insignificant.

Lu Changyuan had no choice but to say, "Something came up."

Mei Zhaozhao leaned closer: "What is it? Tell me, maybe I can help. I happen to have something to do too, I'll tell you later, maybe you can help too."

You're a really nice person.

Lu Changyuan couldn't hold back anymore; the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect was acting like a sly lackey.

"You are Mei Zhaozhao?"

Qiu Yuehan did remember the name; Su Youwan had mentioned it, which caused her junior sister to be very hostile towards Mei Zhaozhao, but she herself didn't have any hostility towards Mei Zhaozhao.

Not only that.

This was the first time Qiu Yuehan had met Mei Zhaozhao, but she felt that Mei Zhaozhao looked very familiar.

I really want to go up to her and slap her twice, knocking her head to the side.

Although Mei Zhaozhao was shrouded in a black robe, Qiu Yuehan couldn't see her face, but she felt inexplicably familiar with her.

Mei Zhaozhao turned around, looked at Qiu Yuehan, and asked innocently, "Are you Young Master Lu's Daoist partner?"

Qiu Yuehan paused for a moment, then remained silent.

Lu Changyuan interrupted their conversation directly: "Alright, I'm here on business. I plan to go into the Blood Demon Palace to take a look."

"That's unfortunate, isn't it? I'm also going to the Blood Demon Palace. Young Master Lu, the Blood Demon Palace is divided into inner and outer islands. Getting into the inner island is not easy; you can't get in without a permit."

"so what?"

Lu Changyuan crossed his arms, knowing that Mei Zhaozhao still had something to say.

"I will help you go in, young master. I don't care what you do after that. Just remember to help me out."

Qiu Yuehan spoke first: "Since it's a cooperative transaction, it's not appropriate for you to be hiding your face and wearing a mask."

Mei Zhaozhao hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, she figured it shouldn't be that bad, so she gritted her teeth.

"Follow me!"

Before long, the two were taken to the stilt house where they had been before. Because it was an island, the houses here were not like those on the plains, but had high legs for heat dissipation and rain drainage.

open the door.

While still inside the room, Bai Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Doctor Lu!"

This frail girl from the countryside still remembers the kind person who always treated her mother's illness with medicine.

Lu Changyuan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to see Bai Wei here. Then, following Bai Wei's gaze, he saw Xue Yanluo, whose face was pale and whose Yin and Yang energies were suppressed.

Lu Changyuan knew that Bai Wei was born with an extremely bitter destiny. Almost without exception, people with this destiny were destined to be cursed and lonely. Yet this Blood Demon Young Master dared to bring Bai Wei along, just to suppress the backlash of the Yin-Yang Dao.

He is a ruthless person.

Xue Yanluo looked at Lu Changyuan with great vigilance, pulled Bai Wei behind her, and even had some hostility in her eyes.

Mei Zhaozhao closed the door and said, "Young Master Lu is an assistant I invited. You should know how strong Xueyanluo is."

"Wait, wait, they haven't explained what happened to me yet," Lu Changyuan said.

"This is Sister Mei who wants to go into the inner island, but the inner island is too dangerous. Going in might mean death. Young Master won't let her go in because it would be very dangerous if she didn't have a disciple's token. Young Master said there are man-eating fish inside!"

Lu Changyuan understood, which is why he arrested this bodyguard.

This is really a perfect opportunity. He also needs to enter the inner island and find a way to seal off the other half of the Blood Demon. With Xueyanluo, the former young master, leading the way, things should be much easier.

Lu Changyuan nodded and asked, "Do you have a way to get in?"

Xueyanluo remained silent for a while, but finally nodded.

Qiu Yuehan tugged at Lu Changyuan's sleeve, but her eyes were still on Mei Zhaozhao: "After saying so much, we still haven't seen your face."

Mei Zhaozhao stamped her foot: "I know, I know."

She gestured for the two to go into another room, and then said very seriously, "I am doing this to show my sincerity, so if Young Master Lu does anything wrong later, you must hold him back, especially to prevent him from lunging at me."

Qiu Yuehan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Mei Zhaozhao gritted her teeth: "I'm afraid that if Young Master Lu sees my appearance, he won't be able to control himself."

Lu Changyuan was somewhat speechless: "You are indeed a bit too confident."

He wouldn't go so far as to pounce on every pretty woman he sees, would he?

But Qiu Yuehan said, "Why don't you go out?"

"What are you thinking about!" Lu Changyuan was at a loss for words.
