Chapter 20 Bringing Lingcan Home
“Xiao Lan, calm down! Have Xuanyuan Chen and the others gone?” He stood so seductively in front of me, but had already assumed his scholarly serious demeanor. Whenever he enters “Encyclopedia mode”, his rich knowledge captivates your gaze, his erudition enhances his charm and handsomeness, and I’ve already overlooked whether he’s wearing pants or not, just looking at his mature and steady face.
“They went.” I replied.
“Then you shouldn’t go.” He made the decision for me.
“No way!” I said urgently, “If I do nothing, I’ll regret it! Lingcan has helped me so much, I really want to repay him, I have contacts in the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm is so vast, I can find him faster than them!”
Jiang Yan was startled, pointing a finger at me: “How do you have contacts in the Demon Realm?”
“Well, after my first trip to the Demon Realm, I became friends with the Faceless Monster…” After I said this, I saw Jiang Yan’s dumbfounded expression, he was stunned for a long time before slowly coming to his senses, beginning to stroke his chin in deep thought: “If you put it that way… Your chances of finding Feng Lingcan are indeed much higher than theirs, the Demon Realm is also a world, finding someone’s spiritual soul is not easy, I estimate Xuanyuan Chen and the others will return empty-handed… Okay, I understand, I’ll come right away.”
“But the Palace requires facial recognition to enter, how will you get in?” I anxiously looked at him.
He, however, didn’t seem to care much, starting to unbutton his pajamas: “Don’t worry about that.” Just as he was unbuttoning and revealing his half-bare shoulder, the image was suddenly cut off.
I anxiously looked at Feng Lingcan’s face, his complexion was getting worse and worse, he’s of the Godly Clan! How could the Godly Clan’s spiritual soul be so easily lost? We mortals can have our souls knocked out in a split second, or our souls even wander out while we’re sleeping.
It must be a trap set by the Demon Realm’s black-clothed boss, they are really too formidable!
Black-clothed boss! You may have beaten Fu Su, but you actually made the kindhearted Feng Lingcan lose his spiritual soul, I, Xia Xiao Lan, tell you! You’re in deep trouble now! I won’t stop until I expose your true identity!
I looked at my outfit, still in the maid uniform, it’s too inconvenient to go like this. I directly took it off, revealing the Immortal Realm school uniform underneath. I stood up and stretched my limbs, feeling much more relaxed.
Touching my body, the Rose Armor! Equipment!
Checking my right hand, the Eternal Guardian! Equipment!
Opening my bag, bread and milk! Equipment!
Now I just need a medium and my Death God’s Gun.
I returned to Feng Lingcan’s side, taking the Demon Realm ashes from his hair, clutching them in my palm, suddenly a gust of wind swept over me, a shadow instantly enveloping my entire body. I immediately looked up, in the dazzling sunlight, it was a! Black angel! He was completely shrouded by the sunlight, the golden light outlining his black, bat-like wings.
I stared dumbfounded as he folded his black, bat-like wings in the sunlight, then steadily landed in front of me, bending one knee slightly before slowly standing up. As he looked at me, he had already placed my Death God’s Gun in front of me: “Go quickly.”
I stared at him blankly, at the angel who had just looked like a dark-winged creature in the golden light, it was actually! Jiang Yan from the Lazy Dorm!
“Jiang Yan, you can fly!” I had even forgotten to pick up my gun, and was excitedly looking at him like a little girl.
He tilted his head slightly, chuckling lightly: “Heh, I’m a Jiang Clan descendant, the Jiang Clan belongs to the Undead Flying Clan, of course I have wings.”
I slapped my forehead, oh right, how could I have forgotten, I was always curious before whether he had wings or not.
“It’s so amazing!” I couldn’t help but run behind him, he turned his head in puzzlement: “What are you looking at?”
“The wings! Do your wings hurt when they come out? Does your clothes get torn? So magical, there’s no trace on your clothes at all!” I reached out curiously to touch his back, he was also wearing a black shirt with red polka dots, and it felt so silky smooth.
His back stiffened for a moment, as if a bit ticklish, and he immediately turned around, my hands then fell on his chest, uh… this is awkward…
I quickly withdrew my hands, clearing my throat uncomfortably: “Ahem.”
He twitched his brows, placing the gun in front of me again: “Are you going to keep touching me or go rescue Feng Lingcan?”
“Ahem. Rescue him, rescue him.” I took the gun, unable to resist explaining, “I’m just curious, how come your clothes don’t tear when your wings come out?”
He pressed his forehead, sighing heavily: “Ah… your curiosity is so strong, how come you didn’t wonder where Mo Ming’s clothes went when he transformed?”
“Oh right!” I exclaimed as if suddenly enlightened, “His clothes! Won’t he be naked after transforming! Ah! I even slept with him! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do…”
“Xiao Lan!” Jiang Yan suddenly shouted loudly, I stared blankly at him, he reached out and snapped his fingers: “Stop!”
“Oh oh oh, rescue him, rescue him first.” I returned to Feng Lingcan’s side, sitting down, “Lingcan, I’m here to bring you home.”
I clutched the ashes and the gun.
“Xiao Lan, are you confident?” Jiang Yan worriedly crouched beside me, I gave him a thumbs up: “Don’t worry, I’m so afraid of death, I won’t do anything I’m not confident in. I’m familiar with the Demon Realm, finding someone will be a piece of cake.”
Jiang Yan smiled, reaching out to gently pat my head, looking at me seriously and profoundly: “Promise me, if you encounter any danger, just run.”
“Mm!” I nodded firmly, even without him saying, I would do that.
I gripped the ashes, adjusting my breathing, under Jiang Yan’s worried and serious gaze, I slowly closed my eyes…
Demon Realm ashes…
Please take me to your world…
Let me stand under your endless scarlet drifts…
Envelop me in your silent air…
The ground beneath me suddenly opened like quicksand, I sank down as if standing in quicksand. I sank deeper and deeper, the next moment, the ground beneath me became soft and familiar.
I slowly opened my eyes, the scarlet drifts drifting gently in front of me.
I stood up in this world of only ashes, feeling happier than ever to be able to come here!
I found myself in what looks like the center of a stadium, with dilapidated stands surrounding it. This world is like the aftermath of our world’s destruction, the Six Realms parallel, the Demon Realm is another form of the mortal realm, a destroyed world filled with despair and suffering. Even though the entire world was silent and soundless, I felt as if I could hear agonized screams and wails amidst the drifting ashes.
“Xiao Lan… Xiao Lan…” Jiang Yan’s call came from above, “Have you entered?”
“I’m in—” I shouted, not knowing if he could hear me, “I’m going to find Lingcan—”
“Then be careful…”
Huh? Jiang Yan can hear me!
I understood, my body is connected, so my body there must have reacted to me wanting to speak. Great! With each crossing to a new world, I learn a little more about my own abilities!
No time to linger, I picked up the gun, it’s a bit troublesome to hold, as I was about to put it in my bag, but as I approached my waist, the gun’s end sprouted rose-gold holster and a belt, quickly wrapping around my waist!
Amazing!
As expected of a spiritually-imbued divine artifact!
With everything ready, I looked around, it’s so vast. Suddenly, a massive shadow swept over me, a huge demonic beast the size of an island flew overhead, its shadow covering the entire stadium! This feeling is just like the last alien invasion in “The Avengers”!
I hurried towards an exit, the ash-covered ground felt like walking on cotton, each step kicking up more dust. If the world becomes like this, it must be utterly hopeless, looking up you can’t see a single ray of sunlight, only a thick gray haze of dust.
Even while running in this world, I couldn’t hear my own footsteps.
I exited the stadium, seeing the desolate parking lot and abandoned cars covered in dust, as if at some point, all the humans in the world had suddenly disappeared, leaving only these silent dead companions of humanity.
I carefully walked through the dilapidated cars, looking around for the Faceless Monster.
“Faceless Monster…” I softly called, knowing it was silly, my voice so quiet I could barely hear it myself, how could the Faceless Monster possibly hear me, but at this moment, it doesn’t seem right to not call out a few times when you’re looking for someone.
“Faceless Monster… Faceless Monster…” I continued searching while calling.
“Whew…” I heard the low panting of a beast, I immediately quieted down, nervously standing in place.
“Thud!” A dark shadow suddenly descended, not the Faceless Monster, but… the Soul-Devouring Beast!
“Grrrr—” It growled lowly at me, in its open mouth I could almost hear the wailing of the trapped souls within. I stiffly looked at it: “I didn’t kill your brother!” I said, slowly reaching for my gun.
“Awoooo————” This time it was an angry roar, its foul breath blowing my hair up, damn, just like the Rejoice commercial, but! It stinks so much!
Fuck—
I angrily turned my face and also roared at it: “I told you, it wasn’t fucking me who killed your brother———Find Fu Su and the others, don’t bother me—”
It was stunned, actually taking a step back and shrinking its neck: “Wuu~~~”
Damn, they’re all a bunch of suckers, only after cursing them out do they behave.
Suddenly, two figures leapt down beside me, I stiffened, what? The Soul-Devouring Beast wasn’t scared of me, but of the demonic creatures next to me? I immediately looked, it was the Faceless Monsters!
“Bang bang bang bang.” Several more leapt down, approaching the Soul-Devouring Beast step by step.
“Wuu~~” The Soul-Devouring Beast turned and ran, the Faceless Monsters turned their faces to me, smiling. Wow, I drew them really badly, their smile looks like a “Rage Comic”, scaring the shit out of me.
