Si Zhi is the most beautiful woman in the spirit tribe, and any man who is teased by her like this will feel itchy and unbearable.
But Fan Tu is completely unaffected by Si Zhi's charm and teasing. He grabs her delicate wrist and prevents her from touching him further.
"I've said it before, between you and me, it's just a matter of mutual benefit. If you really want to help me, then quickly find Qiong Qi and Bai Zhe, so I can have peace of mind."
With that, Fan Tu shook off Si Zhi's hand.
Si Zhi Jiao snorted, then twisted his aching wrist and said:
"Alright, alright, I got it. You've said this a thousand times. These days, I led my men to chase Qiong Qi all the way, but he unexpectedly circled back to the underworld after a detour in the mortal realm. He fled to Shi Volcano and, with no way out, took a desperate leap into it."
"Qiong Qi jumped into the Shi Volcano?"
"Yes, throughout the ages, no one has been able to walk out of Shi Volcano alive. I imagine Qiong Qi has turned into a pool of blood by now."
Upon hearing that Qiong Qi had died, Fan Tu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
The thing he most wanted to do after becoming the Demon Lord was to personally tear Qiong Qi's body into a thousand pieces.
"It's really too cheap! In that case, I will spare no effort to find Bai Zhe's whereabouts. I must find her before the immortal realm!"
"Don't worry, that group of good-for-nothings in the immortal realm can't possibly be faster than me."
"You'd better do as you say, remember, don't harm her life, I want to live."
Fan Tu A phantom figure flew out of the chilly pool and back to the ground, then swiftly wrapped the outer robe around himself.
Si Zhi sighed regretfully, "I missed the chance to admire Fan Tu's sturdy body, what a shame."
"The speed at which the Demon Lord bathes is really fast. You don't have to be so guarded against me."
"During this time, Lingxu Mountain will be under your charge. If I come back and find you slacking off, don't blame me for being unfriendly."
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"After becoming the Demon Lord, I have not yet informed my parents of the current situation. While things are still relatively stable, I should also go and pay respects to my deceased parents." Fan Tu glanced sideways at Si Zhi and said, "You, are not allowed to follow me!"
Si Zhi's lips moved, and he watched as Fan Tu disappeared at the door.
She reluctantly picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the chilly pool, pouting and muttering, "They say snakes are cold-blooded creatures, but I never thought you could be a hundred times colder than me."
Since five days of heavy rain, the weather has been unpredictable. One moment it's clear skies, the next moment it's pouring rain, even with an umbrella, you still get wet.
Bai Zhe has only been fishing with Di Jiang at the West Sea for a month, but has already been soaked by the rain five or six times during this period.
Di Jiang saw that Bai Zhe looked visibly worse, and this time he refused to let her follow him no matter what.
"Be good and wait for me to come back, don't make me worry, okay?"
"But I promised Ying Ying yesterday that I would make flower garlands with her. If I break my word to a little girl, wouldn't it damage the reputation of my Ancient Divine Beast?"
"I can see that you've improved a lot, and you're in the mood to joke with me. But even so, I can't let you go out. You've finally gotten better, and if you don't take care of yourself, all the efforts before will be in vain."
Di Jiang was very determined, and Bai Zhe knew that it was not easy for him to take care of himself so carefully all the time. So, he made a flower wreath from the flowers in the small courtyard and asked Di Jiang to give it to Ying Ying as an apology.
Before leaving, Di Jiang also reinforced the barrier.
Bai Zhe was assured that he couldn't leave, and ordinary little demons and spirits couldn't come in from outside, so he left with peace of mind.
Bai Zhe saw large dark clouds approaching from the distance in the sky, knowing that today would be another rainy day, so he simply sat down in the corridor to practice cultivation.
She opened her hand, and a bright red feather appeared out of thin air, slowly flying up into the air above Bai Zhe.
This red feather was plucked from Di Jiang's wings, not only capable of concealing Bai Zhe's unique divine beast aura, but also serving as her protector during her cultivation.
Bai Zhe recovered so quickly, thanks not only to daily nutrition but also to this Red Feather.
After a while, a light drizzle began to fall.
The fragrance of the earth is stimulated by the rain and permeates the air.
Bai Zhe was born between heaven and earth, and this primitive earthy fragrance is very beneficial for her cultivation.
Before Bai Zhe could gather her wits, a powerful spiritual force struck, causing Red Feather's spiritual energy to violently tremble and then fall helplessly by Bai Zhe's side.
She furrowed her brows and reached out to pick up Red Feather.
Suddenly, the spiritual power of black and red color spread through the courtyard's barrier, and then with a crisp sound, the barrier exploded.
Bai Zhe put away Red Feather and stared warily at the ancient wooden door.
"Bang!"
The wooden door opens.
Through the rain curtain, Bai Zhe saw a person standing outside the door, tall and graceful, wearing a green robe. The person held a simple oiled-paper umbrella, with long and slender fingers, giving the impression of a refined and elegant young gentleman.
As the edge of the umbrella tilted backward, the man's appearance also emerged.
The man had clear and bright eyes, a high and straight nose that highlighted his features, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life.
The blue garment, without any patterns or decorations, perfectly showcased the man's refined temperament. Even though he appeared to be a weak scholar, Bai Zhe still remained extremely cautious.
She took a few steps forward and asked, "May I ask who you are, young master? Why did you break into my house's barrier for no reason?"
The man's gaze was cold as he walked towards her step by step.
Walking on the gravel path, I also took a glance at the peculiar bird nests in the yard, and then inadvertently revealed a hint of disdain.
Fan Tu strode up and stood in front of Bai Zhe, his tall figure towering half a head above Bai Zhe standing on the steps.
He sniffed the spiritual energy in the air and sensed that the stunning woman in front of him seemed to be the incarnation of Spirit Bird.
But almost all the spirit tribe in the world were under his command, and the rest of the spiritual beasts had been following Qiong Qi all along.
This woman he had never seen before, could it be that she had nowhere to go after Qiong Qi died, so she came here to seek refuge?
Thinking of this, Fan Tu spoke in a humble tone: "I am Lin Yu, who came here specifically to pay respects to my late father's mother. Unexpectedly, it started raining heavily while I was paying my respects. With no way to go, I remembered that not far from the cemetery there is a ancestral home where I could take shelter from the rain. I never expected to find someone else in the ancestral home when I arrived here."
Bai Zhe frowned at the words, not expecting that this courtyard actually had an owner. This truly made her feel a bit embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, please come inside and have a cup of tea, sir. Once my elder brother returns, he will definitely explain everything to you."
"Thank you, miss."
Fan Tu took three steps in one stride, just about to enter the house, when suddenly he felt a hint of killing intent coming from behind.
