"Can you...can you check if I'm injured?" Zhong Fei sobbed to Qin Moyu, as if he hadn't just been hit by a rock and had lost an arm or a leg.
Whether or not you get injured isn't the issue; the issue is—
Why are you growing rabbit ears on your head?!
I guess I haven't come out of this illusion yet.
16. Chapter Sixteen: Encounter - A forty-meter-long sword was already raised...
"Are you a demon cultivator?"
Qin Moyu had heard Shen Yebai say that since the Four Continents War, the number of demon cultivators had greatly decreased, and most of them stayed in the Western Continent. Demon cultivators were rarely seen in the Eastern Continent. So even though Zhong Fei's rabbit ears were showing, Qin Moyu still couldn't help but ask a question.
To everyone's surprise, Zhong Fei's eyes widened upon hearing this. His back and legs no longer ached, and the bump on his head seemed to have disappeared. His face was full of disbelief: "How did you see through me!"
His expression made it seem as if Qin Moyu had exposed something incredible.
Qin Moyu pointed to the top of his head.
When Zhong Fei touched it, the furry ears stood up excitedly, and he immediately blushed.
Ahhh, I got so excited I forgot to hide my ears.
Zhong Fei pouted and said pitifully, "I...I'm a demon cultivator...but I don't taste good!"
Qin Moyu was dumbfounded: "I'm not going to eat you."
"Really?"
Have you ever seen anyone eat people?
"But I'm not human, I'm a rabbit."
"..."
Qin Moyu was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Qin Moyu remained silent, Zhong Fei recalled the story his elders had told about humans eating rabbit demons, and he completely shut up: "You really still want to eat me! Humans outside are so scary, waaaaah..."
On the left was the sound of a rabbit spirit wailing, and on the right were two oddballs fighting fiercely, one of whose clothes reflected the sunlight. Caught between the two, Qin Moyu vaguely thought that this was some kind of hellish scroll.
Fortunately, this chaotic scene didn't last long, because the commotion in the courtyard was so great that people waiting in the neighboring courtyards came over to see what was happening. Qin Moyu saw the savior who could lead her out of her suffering in the crowd—Shen Yebai.
Shen Yebai, dressed in a white outfit, had a blank expression on his face. When he saw Qin Moyu, he slightly curved the corners of his lips. Just as he was about to walk over, he saw Qin Moyu rushing towards him.
"Ye Bai, you're finally out!" Qin Moyu excitedly hugged Shen Ye Bai.
Shen Yebai blinked, not understanding why Qin Moyu was suddenly so enthusiastic, but he still patted him on the back and hummed in agreement, his mood turning from gloomy to sunny.
"What happened?" Shen Yebai asked softly.
Qin Moyu opened her mouth, but found that there were too many things to complain about in what had just happened, so she didn't know where to begin.
"Senior brother!"
"Xiao Fei?!"
Two voices rang out behind Shen Yebai at the same time. Qin Moyu let go of Shen Yebai and turned around to see the two of them hurrying past him.
The gray-haired boy rushed straight towards the withdrawn Zhong Fei. Zhong Fei, upon seeing him, pounced on him as if he had seen his savior: "Luo Yuan! Waaah..."
The boy named Luo Yuan frantically tried to comfort Zhong Fei, and even grew gray rabbit ears on his head in his haste.
On the other side, Li Zhishan felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had darkened.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?!" Li Zhishan looked at Gu Jia, who was wrestling with the demonic cultivator, in utter dismay, unable to bear the sight.
Gu Jia's hair was disheveled and his clothes were wrinkled from fighting for so long. When he saw him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhi Shan is just in time. Quickly help me hold him down. I don't believe I can't beat this stinking demonic cultivator from Xizhou!"
The demonic cultivator's expression was also very unpleasant. In the past, the enemies he encountered were either too weak to be defeated with one hand, or they were quite strong and he could have a very satisfying battle. He had never seen such a shameless person, who clung to him like an eel and even tried to bite him because his spell attacks were ineffective!
Li Zhishan grabbed Gu Jia, separating him from the demonic cultivator. He wanted to shake him by the shoulders to see if his brain was full of water, and shouted, "Senior brother, calm down! Ancestor Xuanjing will be here soon!"
The name "Xuan Jing" calmed Gu Jia and the demonic cultivator down a bit. They exchanged a glance and noticed each other's disheveled appearance. They glared at each other hatefully but did not continue fighting.
The situation calmed down for the time being. Qin Moyu had watched enough of the show and didn't want to get involved with these two fools anymore. Seeing that Zhong Fei had found a friend, she immediately pulled Shen Yebai away to sneak away.
Shen Yebai was confused, but he still obediently let Qin Moyu pull him away.
"Wait, where's my wife?" Gu Jia realized Qin Moyu was missing after calming down. He regretted that he had come to Qin Moyu to express his feelings, but instead he had inexplicably gotten into a fight with this damned demon cultivator.
The demonic cultivator, with his sharp eyes, spotted Qin Moyu's back and chased after him without a word.
"etc--"
Qin Moyu paused for a moment, then ran even faster.
Unfortunately, the two courtyards were only so big together, and Qin Moyu couldn't run very far. She was eventually caught up by the demonic cultivator and Gu Jia.
"Does Mo Yu know them?" Shen Yebai asked softly, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
He had only been out a little late when two men of unknown origin started chasing after Qin Moyu. How could he be happy about that?
"Ha, haha, I guess so." Qin Moyu chuckled twice, then scratched his face awkwardly.
Even though he loves to boast, he couldn't come up with such an absurd story as "being confessed to by these two guys while walking along."
