The car continued forward, passing through a tunnel, and then continued uphill.
The mountain road is extremely rugged, and stone statues sculpted for deities and offerings can be seen everywhere.
Looking at the scenery here, one might have the illusion of having stumbled into a scene from Spirited Away.
The car stopped when it reached a blue bay.
There is a narrow bridge made of redwood ahead.
"The road ahead is impassable for cars, get off."
Izumo got off the carriage first.
Seeing how much effort Su Yu was having to walk, she squatted down again, gesturing for Su Yu to come up and let her carry her.
Since struggling was pointless, Su Yu let her carry her.
"Today is the Lily of the Valley Festival. Many practitioners will be going into the mountains to find the sacred stone to test their aptitude."
More useful intelligence has been gathered.
"However, most people in this world who actively seek out sacred stones to test their aptitude will never formally embark on the path of cultivation."
At this point, Izumo looked utterly disdainful.
"What a waste of the sacred stone's spiritual energy."
Su Yu could understand this.
Truly talented cultivators have their talents discovered long before they even begin their cultivation journey, and renowned masters may even be knocking on their door to recruit them.
What qualifications will they need to test?
Obviously not!
As for ordinary people who have no desire to cultivate, they would never travel across mountains and rivers to find sacred stones, so naturally they wouldn't bother to test their aptitude.
Only those self-important good-for-nothings would come here to search for the sacred stone, clinging to a sliver of hope.
Ok?
Doesn't this sound like the beginning of the "loser-type" novel genre?
Su Yu quickly stopped her wild ideas.
But just as I stopped thinking about this, new thoughts began to emerge.
"Have I now escaped the Izumo clan's manor? This place is no longer part of the manor's territory!"
However, the mission was not completed.
Su Yu frowned.
"What exactly do I need to do to escape the manor? Does it mean I need to distance myself from the Izumo clan?"
In fact, Su Yu's idea was correct.
As the Demon King's fellow disciple, Izumo was a master of array formations and hidden weapons.
She had already done it, using the formation to connect herself with that manor.
Even if they were on Mount Izumo now, she could instantly send her and Su Yu back to any corner of the manor.
And the effective range she controls is a radius of ten kilometers!
So, to put it another way...
Su Yu absolutely cannot attempt to escape under her watchful eye.
This is tantamount to digging one's own grave!
"If I want to escape, I have to do it while she's off guard. So, tactics like acting cute, showing weakness, and feigning surrender are absolutely necessary..."
186. She got anxious, she got anxious.
Okay, the question has come full circle.
How do you act cute and charming?
Su Yu had never acted coquettishly to anyone in her life, and she didn't know how girls usually act coquettishly.
To pass the level, she had to force herself to recall the romance novels she had read in middle school.
How did the female lead in it all act cute and charming?
"You've been staring at me since the beginning. Do you think I don't have eyes in the back of my head and can't see you?"
Izumo, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.
Turning back, he said in a sarcastic tone:
“I’ve warned you many times that I hate orcs. Even if you suddenly try to please me, I will only think you are lowly and I will not be moved by you.”
That being said, Izumo clan did not actually think that way.
Wouldn't you be tempted by this?
joke!
My heart was racing, it felt like first love!
She was really looking forward to seeing Su Yu act cute and affectionate towards her!
This face is exactly the same as that person's face!
Watching Su Yu act coquettishly made her feel as if she were seeing that adult acting coquettishly towards her...
This was an experience she could never have dreamed of!
"Oh, I understand. Don't worry, I won't do anything unnecessary."
Su Yu couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Can not be done!
It still doesn’t work!
Trying to act cute with a guy like that, even if it's just an act, is impossible!
Not only do you have to endure the shame in your heart, but you also have to endure the other party's ridicule. Who can do that?
"As expected, I should just lie down and give up, and wait for the Demon King and Ryoko to figure out a way to get me out of here."
This shameless thought flashed through Su Yu's mind for the first time.
And then, you could never lose it again.
However, in this instance, the Demon King and Ryoko were not as inseparable from her as in other instances.
Su Yu felt that they might be testing her to see how she would handle the crisis.
If that's really the case...
That situation was really terrible.
Su Yu, an emotional idiot who has had many relationships but still doesn't understand women's hearts, now realizes that she is in a very big crisis.
If not handled properly, she will face a hellish ordeal.
……
……
at this time.
The Demon King had actually already arrived at Mount Izumo.
"Sigh, only a few hundred years have passed, and the spiritual energy of Mount Izumo has become so thin?"
She sat on the towering tree where she used to sit, gazing at the entire Chuyun Mountain.
Although Izumo Mountain appears unchanged, it is actually shrouded in a faint aura of death.
Izumo Province has truly fallen on hard times.
How glorious this place was in the past, how many talented people it produced; and now how dilapidated and chaotic it is...
The Ghost King was filled with many emotions, but he had no intention of changing it.
What does this have to do with her?
If it weren't to protect his wife, she would never come to a place like this, even if she were sleepwalking and lost.
The Izumo clan, the rulers of Izumo, are acting like they're giving up. How can they expect anyone else to save this dilapidated Izumo?
"Will Xiaoyu fall for this pervert?"
The Ghost King's face fell with worry at the thought of this possibility.
It's like the money in a warehouse has been targeted by tens of thousands of thieves.
"I really hate this pervert! I hope my wife won't bring him home."
She was indeed waiting to see Su Yu's reaction.
However, Su Yu's current attitude made her very dissatisfied.
Even after being bullied like this by the Izumo clan, don't they think of asking their partners for help?
As long as she cries out, "Dear Ghost King, please!" or "You damned fox, come and save me!", the two of them will immediately step in and rescue her from her predicament.
However, she simply stayed silently by Izumo's side!
Why the silence?
Is it that my heart is wavering?
Izumo's beauty is well-known, and in the Ghost King's view, the possibility that Su Yu was bewitched by her is extremely high.
If Su Yu insists on bringing the Chu Yun clan back, then...
"Then I'll just have to secretly poison my dear junior sister, then cut her into pieces and flush her down the drain!"
"Why didn't I strangle her back then?"
"We really missed over ten thousand opportunities to instantly kill her."
