Chapter 9

  Lu Linsheng followed Bai Ying after the main force set out. Bai Ying found that this person had been staring at himself without letting go, and seemed to be very hungry. He couldn't help but ask him: "Didn't you eat enough?"

  "No, I want to always... look at you..."

  Bai Ling didn't realize there was anything wrong with the sentence, but the old shell on her waist suddenly shouted loudly: "Young master, this Dengluzi is too detestable, he actually dares to hit Young Master's idea, Young Master hammer him! Hammer him!"

  Bai Ling finally reacted and thought to herself "Oh my god, I've encountered a romantic interest!" Although the other person was a beggar, he was indeed the first man to directly express his affection for her.

  It's strange to say that Bai Ling herself was also puzzled. In her previous life, she had someone chasing after her, but in this life, she grew up to be so good-looking, yet nobody pursued her. Isn't that weird? Looking at the blurry face of the beggar in front of her, she felt complicated emotions and thought for a moment before saying: "It's like this, I don't have high demands, it doesn't matter if you're human or not, but... I prefer someone who is cleaner and more obedient... You know what I mean?"

  Old Turtle was frantic, "Little Master! He's a toad who wants to eat dragon meat, what's the point of talking to him? Where's your hammer? Give it to him and let him sober up!"

  Bai Ling doesn't bother with this stubborn old shellback, as long as he doesn't provoke her into anger, she's generally still quite pleasant to talk to.

  His eyes, black as coal, stared at Bai Xiang. Although he called himself 'Lu Linsheng', in reality all he inherited from Lu Linsheng was a deep obsession, along with yearning and resentment; his memories of everything else were particularly jumbled, especially the painful experiences of being eaten those first few times. In his memory, almost every vivid scene had to do with Bai Xiang - the first time they met in the mountains, her giving him golden pearls, her transforming into a white dragon to play in the lake... All these scenes were warm and clean, making him feel that the insatiable greed within him was momentarily satisfied whenever he thought of them.

  In contrast, he had a clear and complete mind in the demon spring, and it was only after devouring countless demons that he took on a human-like form. Now, he is trying to become a 'human', with a human body, learning to speak like one, and using 'smiles' to express emotions... He is undoubtedly very intelligent, but unaware of the things that need attention as a human. When Bai said this, he slowly nodded his head, "Good, I will... be clean..." Just in this short period of time, his smile had become more fluent and natural than at first.

  The two of them stood there talking for a while, and the fifth senior brother who was sent to deal with Dongyuan couldn't bear it anymore. He was afraid that his younger sister would be deceived by others because she was too naive, so he strode over, and Dongyuan quickly followed him.

  "Xian friend, what's going on?" Dongyuan asked hastily, taking another glance at Lu Linsen's appearance with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "I saw him asking you for something earlier. Mortals usually don't understand the rules, and many are quite greedy. If you show them kindness once, they'll take it for granted and ask for more. You don't need to bother with people like that..."

  Bai Ling heard him say more and more strange things, directly interrupting him: "Stop stop stop, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." The atmosphere of You Fu Mountain was really bad, from top to bottom it was all the same, because they thought themselves as immortals so they had a high-and-mighty attitude which she disliked the most. Just like in Gui Yi Xian Zong there were also many disciples who thought themselves as cultivators so they looked down on ordinary people, she didn't like that either.

  Seeing Bai Ling not pleased, Dong Yuan was also very embarrassed, unable to lose his temper in front of the two siblings, so he solemnly said to Lu Linsheng: "Still don't hurry down! Remember not to come again to pester!"

  At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the crowd. She was dressed neatly and cleanly, and her family background seemed to be not bad. She looked like a straightforward person, but she couldn't help feeling timid when facing several "immortals". After walking over and staring at Lu Linsheng for two eyes, she smiled and said to Dong Yuan: "Immortal, please calm down, I know this person. He was originally my neighbor, the famous Lushucai in our city, who studied hard in the temple since childhood. Later, because he couldn't pass the imperial examination, his father died unexpectedly at home, and he became a little crazy. We all thought he had run away and died somewhere, but I didn't expect to meet him here."

  "He's also a poor guy, if there's anything wrong with him, I'll apologize to these immortals on his behalf, and then I'll take him away."

  Lu Linsheng was pulled away by that woman and didn't struggle, just looking at Bai Yun, all the way being pulled into the crowd, still looking at him.

  Seeing him leave, Bai Ling and Wu Shi Xiong walked to one side, bumped his arm and casually sighed: "Indeed, what peach blossom luck is all fake, it's impossible..."

  "...... Little sister, you're still young, let's not think about this, okay."

  Old Turtle Shell: "Young Master! You're still a young dragon! Your horns haven't even fully grown yet! And even if you want to find a partner, you can't be so careless! Someone who can match the Young Master must be an outstanding demon with a good background, reputation, appearance, and abilities! Not just any stray cat or dog can think of it!"

  Bai Ling rummaged through her ears, scratched the surface of the shell, and muttered in a low voice: "Why are there so many requirements? I think it's fine as long as it looks good."

  Lu Linsheng was pulled by the woman to a secluded place in the crowd, where there were several people, all of whom were relatives of the woman and had known Lu Xiucai before. They asked him in unison, "Lu Xiucai, where have you been all this time?" "Lu Xiucai, what did the immortal give you just now?" "Lu Xiucai..."

  The woman waved at them, "Alright, make way and let Lu Xiu rest for a while."

  Lu Linsheng looked at these people, his face expressionless. The woman was looked at by him twice, and she felt inexplicably afraid, carefully saying: "Are you Lu Xiuciai? I thought it was you just now, do you still remember Auntie?"

  Lu Linsheng suddenly walked up to one of the men who was dressed the cleanest, raised his hand towards him. But halfway up, he hesitated and put it down again, saying to the woman with a strange and bewildered expression: "I want to tidy up... cleanliness."

  ……

  After half a day, until evening, Bai Ling saw Lu Linsheng again.

  "Are you Lu Linsheng from this morning?" Bai Xiang stared at the man in front of her in surprise.

  He was dressed in a clean suit, his hair and face were well-groomed, revealing an unexpectedly youthful and elegant appearance, with the air of a weak and harmless bookworm. Due to being too thin, he looked a bit pitiful, like a big man whose waist was as slender as hers.

  "My name is Lu Linsheng."

  In just half a day, he spoke much more fluently. Bai Xiang was somewhat unclear whether he was crazy or not and looked at him with some hesitation. She didn't speak, and Lu Linsheng didn't take the initiative to speak either, but instead stared at her intently, making Bai Xiang feel that something was off about herself.

  Bai Ling: "......" Big Brother, isn't it too much enthusiasm just because I gave him a peach and now he's infatuated with me? His gaze is so piercing, like he wants to devour me, it's terrifying.

  The old shell at her waist suddenly made a sound, with a very nervous tone, saying: "Young master, this person is not right, he's very dangerous, you'd better keep a distance from him! He seems...he doesn't seem to be human!"

  Lao Bei Ke had lived for many years and had a natural intuition, so when Lu Lin Sheng stared at Bai Ying, he felt a sense of incongruity. When Bai Ying heard this, she quickly became alert and considered whether to draw her weapon immediately.

  Lu Linsheng took a step forward, getting closer to her. Just as Bai Xiang was about to ask him to stop, Lu Linsheng stretched out his hand, and in an instant, it fell like a black silk thread, revealing a round red bead inside.

  "I want to give this to you." The speaker smiled sincerely, but suddenly scattered hands were too terrifying.

  Bai Ling had not yet reacted, when suddenly a scream pierced the air from among the resting crowd in the camp. The crowd dispersed in an uproar, with some people wailing and crying out in anguish, while others were terrified and screaming for help.

  "There's a monster! Ahh! The monster is eating people!"

  "Help! Immortal, save me!"

  Bai Ling immediately ran over and saw a commotion in the crowd, with several unknown creatures tearing at bloody people. Dongyuan and Wu Shixiong had already rushed up and were entangled with those creatures. Dongyuan was obviously more powerful, taking on several creatures alone, while Wu Shixiong was struggling between two creatures, and there were still several creatures searching for food in the crowd.

  Bai Ling picked up the hammer and went up without hesitation, saying she wasn't afraid was a lie, after all, she hadn't really killed any monsters before, but she knew it would happen sooner or later. Her master had let her out to train for a reason. As she hammered down with the hammer, the entire ground shook, she was afraid that one hit wouldn't be enough to kill it, so she added another blow. When she lifted the hammer and looked again, the strange monster's body had been smashed into a pulp.

  Bai Ling: "Ugh——" How disgusting to die like this!

  "Little sister! Are you okay?" Fifth Brother shouted anxiously towards her.

  Bai Ling: "Ugh... nothing's wrong with me, wait a moment, I'll go take care of the rest after I'm done throwing up! Ugh..."

  A monster took advantage of her unpreparedness and pounced on her, Bai Ling swung a hammer and sent the monster flying along with it, crashing to the ground. The loud thud also startled the crowd's screams for a moment.

  Bai Ling was left with only one hammer in her hand, and as she wiped her mouth, she went to pick it up. Before she could touch the hammer, a dozen or so ferocious-looking goblin-like creatures suddenly emerged from the ground and pounced on her. As Bai Ling saw these creatures clearly, she thought to herself that things were going to go badly. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind her, and a mass of black silk threads poured in, wrapping up those dozen or so creatures in black silk. The dozen or so black silkworms existed for only a few breaths before disappearing, and the black silk threads quickly gathered together into a human shape, transforming back into Lu Linsheng's appearance.

  He gave Bai Lin a harmless smile with a natural expression, and his throat moved as if he had just swallowed something.

  Bai Ling still held the hammer without putting it down, and there was not a single monster left around her. On the other side, Dongyuan and Wu Shixiong had already dealt with the remaining ambushing monsters and rushed over. They also saw what had just happened, and Dongyuan's sword, which had not been sheathed, stabbed directly at Lu Linsheng.

  This sword stabbed into thin air, and Lu Linsheng appeared on the other side. The people who were originally close by quickly scrambled to retreat while screaming.

  "You monster! What sinister plot do you have by transforming into a human and blending in here?" Dongyuan shouted.

  Lu Linsheng stared at him with a cold expression, without saying a word. His gaze was no different from looking at a walking piece of bloody meat.

  "Die!" The eastern yuan sword light surged, stabbing towards Lu Linsheng. Lu Linsheng's whole body was covered in black threads, about to disperse, when Bai Ling finally reacted, rushing forward and grabbing him, pushing him aside, herself wielding the hammer and swinging it, sending Dongyuan flying out.

  Dongyuan couldn't believe it, "What are you doing?! Didn't you see that he's a demon? Why do you want to protect him?!"

  Bai Ling's mallet slammed onto the ground, "I just asked you what his mother wants to do! Are your eyes blind? Didn't you see him just help me solve so many monsters? You come up and want to kill."

  Dongyuan: "Something that devours its own kind is an evil creature, it can't be anything good. Fangcai must have ulterior motives too! Since you're not of our kind, your heart must be different! You'll naturally die, hurry up and get out of the way!"

  Bai Ling held up her hammer and angrily said: "I'll let you have this hammer, I'm not a human being either! If you've got the guts, come over here and hit me, see if I don't smash your skull open!"
