Chapter 101

  After some simple pleasantries, Lin Ruolan curiously asked Mo Jun Ye a question: "By the way, shouldn't you be in the Yin Yue Imperial Court? How did you end up appearing in Hei Feng Forest for no reason?"

  Lin Ruolan wouldn't think that the Dark Moon Empire was right next door to Black Wind Forest, and that Demon King Qi Ye had come over for a visit?

  "And you? Lan'er, why are you also appearing in this godforsaken place? This godforsaken place is called Black Wind Forest? The name does seem quite fitting."

  Mo Jun didn't answer Lin Ruolan's question for seven nights, but instead asked her a question first; not only that, he also asked several questions in a row.

  Who will answer who? For such a small matter, Lin Ruolan didn't entangle at all; after hearing Mo Jun Ye's question, she replied straightforwardly without thinking.

  "I was ordered by my master to go to Nanguo Town, but something unexpected happened on the way; this Instant Transfer Symbol was sent to the wrong place, it was originally supposed to send me to Nanguo Town; who knew that due to some mistake, I was sent to Heifenglin instead."

  Lin Ruo Lan didn't avoid the topic either, directly telling Mo Jun Ye about the whole misunderstanding; at the same time, she spread her hands and made a helpless expression.

  "Right! Qi Ye, you haven't told me how you ended up in Hei Feng Lin either." Lin Ruolan suddenly remembered that Mo Jun Qi Ye hadn't answered her question about how he happened to be in Hei Feng Lin.

  "Brother Qiye!" The Demon King Qiye suddenly spoke out of the blue.

  Ah! Lin Ruolan's face was filled with confusion and bewilderment, she looked at the other person with a puzzled expression; this guy must be sick or something? She asked him questions but he didn't respond, instead he had the leisure to pay attention to an unimportant title.

  He actually let himself be called "Seven Nights Brother"?

  Isn't this the exclusive term of endearment that Nie Xiaoqian uses to address Mo Qiuye? Lin Ruolan suddenly recalled how in her past life, she had watched "The Legend of Nie Xiaoqian" and remembered how Nie Xiaoqian would affectionately call Mo Qiuye "Seven Nights Gege", which sent a chill down her spine.

  And... when did I become so familiar with this guy?

  But I don't know why. The words of refusal were already on the tip of her tongue, but when she looked up and saw Mo Jun Ye's face, which was as handsome as her own brother's, with a hint of heavenly anger and resentment, Lin Ruolan couldn't bring herself to say it.

  Especially when Mo Jun's seven nights looked at him with a pair of clear eyes, Lin Ruolan felt even more like Alexander.

  Forget it!

  It's just a title, why bother being so calculating? Besides, when you add up the two of us, I'm already over 80 years old; but he's just a young whippersnapper who's almost 40. Wouldn't arguing with him be losing face?

  Lin Ruo Lan's mood was slightly better after thinking about it, although her heart still felt a bit awkward; she softly called out: "Qi Ye Gege!"

  Mo Jun Qi's mood was great after getting the answer he was satisfied with, a faint smile appeared on his lips; Mo Jun Qi, who had always been disdainful of explaining things to others, surprisingly took the initiative to explain.

  "Not long ago, I received a distress letter from Nie Xiaoqian in the Demon Palace..."

  "Nie Xiaoqian?" Mo Jun Qi's words were cut off by Lin Ruolan before he could finish; she slightly furrowed her brow, was the plot going to unfold this quickly? A thread of doubt crossed Lin Ruolan's mind.

  Mo Jun Qi Ye saw Lin Ruo Lan's puzzled face and suddenly remembered that she probably didn't know who Nie Xiao Qian was.

  "Nie Xiaoqian is also a person of the Yin Yue Huang Chao, her true form is a small fox spirit; however, not long ago Nie Xiaoqian left the Yin Yue Huang Chao with the Blue Demon's Tears, saying she was going to pursue true love..."

  Mo Jun didn't hide anything for seven nights, and in his opinion, Lin Ruolan was already the saint he had acknowledged; they were originally one family, and the matters of the Yin Yue Imperial Court would eventually be made known to each other; knowing earlier or later made no difference.

  Mo Jun recounted the entire story from start to finish, beginning with Nie Xiaoqian reading Lan Mo's notes; to Nie Xiaoqian leaving Yin Yue Imperial City with Lan Mo's tears in search of true love; and later Nie Xiaoqian's distress letter saying she was trapped in Lanruo Temple by a spider spirit called Mei Ji who forced her to harm innocent people.

  To be honest, Mo Jun's seven-night storytelling isn't that engaging; but I have to say that this live version of the story is indeed more enjoyable than watching TV; Lin Ruolan listened with great interest.

  What the...?

  The plot has actually unfolded, and it seems that Nie Xiaoqian, Mei Ji, Ning Caichen, and Yan Hongye are the ones involved; the scene at Lanruo Temple is really exciting!

  "Hmm... So, that means Yan Hongye should be around here somewhere? Lin Ruolan lowered her eyelids to conceal the true emotions in her heart and smiled thoughtfully."

  "Seventh Night Brother, you've been trapped here for two days; haven't you ever thought of leaving?" Lin Ruolan shifted the topic and asked Mojun Seventh Night a question.

  As soon as he mentioned the seventh night of Mojun, his face didn't look too good, and he glanced at Lin Ruolan with a hint of embarrassment; just now, he said: "This Black Wind Forest is very strange, I've thought of many ways; none of them can get us out."

  "Could it be that this mysterious yin energy can also devour the demonic energy on Seventh Brother's body?" Lin Ruolan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, as she had never heard of the mysterious yin energy being able to devour demonic energy before.

  "Hmm..."

  "Although the speed at which this dark energy absorbs demonic energy is relatively slow, I can truly feel it; the demonic energy on my body is gradually decreasing."

  Lin Ruolan furrowed her brow and fell silent, she still thought that the mysterious dark energy would only devour spiritual energy? She really didn't expect that even demonic energy would also be devoured by the mysterious dark energy. Is this thing really so formidable? Lin Ruolan was a bit stunned.

  "So? Seventh Night Brother, have you ever thought about your Sky Slashing Sword Technique?" Lin Ruo Lan finally asked cautiously.

  She remembered that in the Legend of the White Snake, it was said that the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique was the most powerful move of the Yin Moon Dynasty; back then, Hei Shan's grandmother was split in half by Mo Jun's Seven Nights using this very technique.

  Lin Ruolan didn't mention Mo Jun Qi Ye, and he had really forgotten about it; but now that she mentioned it, Mo Jun Qi Ye was reminded of it. He turned around and thought to himself that he could actually try using the "Heavenly Sword Slashing Technique" to see if he could leave this haunted place, Black Wind Forest.

  Nanguo Town is a place with a special geographical location, and the situation inside the town is also complex; this is an area that belongs to three no-man's land, although Nanguo Town is very chaotic and dangerous, but it is still very lively and prosperous.

  It's just that in this world, danger and wealth always coexist; isn't there a saying that goes like this? Wealth is sought in danger, and this saying can be perfectly interpreted in Nanguo Town.

  But in Nanguo Town, what's most frightening and dangerous isn't those mountain bandits or local ruffians; rather, it's outside of Nanguo Town, in a place called Heifeng Forest, and another place called Lanruo Temple. In these two places, there exist non-human entities.

  A year ago, a pretty little girl in red clothes came to Nanguo Town; for the people of Nanguo Town who had always been very repulsive to outsiders, this pretty little girl who wore red clothes all year round was an alternative.

  She not only successfully stood firm in Nanguo Town, but also built a place called Red Leaf Thatched Cottage in the central area of Nanguo Town; because the name of this beautiful little girl who likes to wear red clothes is Yan Hongye, so her residence was named Red Leaf Thatched Cottage!

  Yan Hongye had just mastered the Xuan Xin Aomiao Jue when he left the Forget Love Forest. Firstly, he wanted to let his parents, whom he had reunited with after much difficulty, have more time to get in touch with each other's feelings and spend some quality time together.

  Is this the second reason? It's even simpler, all these years she has been focusing on cultivating the Xuan Xin Ao Miao Jue; but forgot that in the profession of catching ghosts and demons, the most important thing is actual combat experience. This is also why during the Xuan Xin Zheng Zong era, the disciples under the sect were just starting to enter the door; they would cultivate while traveling around to catch ghosts and demons at the same time.

  As for why I came to Nanguo Town?

  To be honest, even Yan Hongye herself couldn't say for sure; she only remembered that on that day, she had entered the depths of the mountain to hunt down a snow demon that had just transformed, but somehow got lost along the way; by the time she emerged from the mountains, she was already standing not far from Nanguo Town.

  Yan Hongye liked this place as soon as he entered Nanguo Town, why? Of course, it's because this place is chaotic enough! Moreover, the surrounding area is all deep mountains, where many monsters and ghosts are lurking; Yan Hongye felt that he could better temper himself here and improve his actual combat experience; so he simply settled down in Nanguo Town for a long time.

  At first, the people living in Nanguo Town were quite hostile to Yan Hongye, an outsider; however, when Yan Hongye gradually showed his strength to the people of Nanguo Town.

  Most importantly, Yan Hongye had saved the lives of several South Valley Town residents who were almost killed by monsters on multiple occasions. The gradually xenophobic South Valley Town residents slowly accepted Yan Hongye's presence in their town; and whenever they saw her, they would respectfully address her as Miss Red Leaf.

  Today is destined to be another day that will not be calm for the townspeople of Nanguo Town; Nanguo Town, which has never had any strangers before, actually had two more strangers coming.

  The two people were a man and a woman, both wearing clothes of the same color; a very young couple, not only very young but also very handsome was the young man; as for the woman? Because her face was covered with a veil, it was hard to see her true appearance; however, from those eyes that flowed outwards and her figure, she should be equally beautiful.

  This man and woman were none other than Mo Jun and Lin Ruolan, who had just escaped from Heifeng Forest.

  Originally, Mo Jun Qi Ye planned to use the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to try and escape from Hei Feng Lin. However, he was stopped by Lin Ruo Lan. The reason for Lin Ruo Lan's intervention was simple: she was worried that the commotion caused by the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique would be too great, and if it alerted Hei Shan Lao Lao, it would not be worth it.

  In the end, it was Lin Ruolan who suggested trying her method first. If it didn't work, then Mo Junye would make his move later. Even if that really shocked Hei Shan Lao Lao, there's nothing they could do about it anyway.

  However, Lin Ruolan's ability was seen as a useless skill, but this time it really helped her gain face; she successfully controlled some of the trees, and Mo Jun Ye and Lin Ruolan were able to leave Hei Feng Forest safely.
