Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 05: Already Accustomed to Wandering Around the World
What she didn't expect was that after Mo Yi had easily coaxed both the Huan and Shen families into great joy, he suddenly changed the subject and said to Wei Xingying, "I had no choice but to seize Mingsha City from your Ruoye tribe. The Mobei Plateau is too close to Shamo. To prevent them from setting their sights on Shamo, I had no choice but to find them a foothold farther away. Moreover, your Ruoye tribe occupied Mingsha City only to contain the Kongming tribe. Now that the Kongming tribe is destroyed, Mingsha City is of little use to you. However, to express my apology, I will give you the several important towns south of the Hengyue River that I captured earlier, such as Pingle City. I think your new emperor will not object."
Wei Xingying pursed his lips, staring blankly at Mo Yi for a moment before gently nodding. Although he still disliked Mo Yi, he reluctantly accepted his sincerity. Mo Yi was right. For the Ruoye tribe, occupying Mingsha City was a thankless task. Just getting supplies was a major headache. But Pingle City was different. It was a prosperous town in the Void Realm, and not far from Yonghui City. If they traded Pingle City for Mingsha City, the Ruoye tribe would be getting a huge bargain.
At this moment, Mo Yi looked at Qing Luan again. He took another sip of tea and said indifferently, "Miss Qing Luan asked me to find the Demon Realm Key for Zhuo Ao. I have agreed. Go back and tell the Holy Mother of Mount Li that I, Mo Yi, will do my utmost to find the remaining two Demon Realm Keys and will not let them fall into the hands of the demons."
Qingluan nodded. Although Mo Yi's words sounded a bit arrogant, how could he dare to say that he could protect something that even their Penglai Fairyland could not protect and would not fall into the hands of the demons? But at this moment, Qingluan was willing to believe that this person had such absolute confidence and strength.
So, in just half a cup of tea, all the forces present had gained unexpectedly huge gains. Although these people appeared here and gathered around Ying Lili out of the simplest motives, everyone was very satisfied with the gift that Mo Yi had just thrown out.
Ping Lili silently looked at Mo Yi's expressionless profile, and an inexplicable warmth slowly rose in her heart. It turned out that for her, he not only killed countless people and captured cities and strongholds, but even considered these subtle details carefully for her. With just a few words, he had taken care of several powerful forces in the Xu Ming world. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and her soft hand slowly covered the big hand that was originally tapping the small coffee table beside her, but was pinched by that hand and held in the palm of her hand.
A warmth came from the palm of his hand, and she thought that falling in love with him was indeed the best thing she had ever done in her life.
It seemed that Mo Yi was obsessed with Sha Mo's Snow Bud Tea today, sipping it one sip after another, cup after cup. After the fifth cup, Mo Yi finally said to those who had been discussing for a long time without any clue and were arguing about where to start to find the key to the demon world, "If there are no other reliable clues, I think we should go to Kuaiji Mountain first."
Everyone was shocked when these words came out, especially Zeze, who had been happily playing with the Purple Cloud Beast. Her face was now filled with joy. She ran to Mo Yi and asked with a cheeky smile, "Brother Yi? Are we going back to Kuaiji Mountain? That's great~"
Although Zeze has regained the memories of her previous life and no longer has as many feelings for her former master as before, she still has some feelings for him. She also misses her twin fox brothers and sisters very much. When she heard Mo Yi say that he wanted to go to Kuaiji Mountain, she was naturally the first to raise her hand in agreement.
Unfortunately, Mo Yi didn't let him be happy for too long. Mo Yi raised his eyebrows and replied indifferently, "Did I say I would take you with me? You and the Purple Cloud Beast should stay in Shamo."
Upon hearing this, Zeze's little face turned as bitter as a gourd. The little fellow turned his head and threw himself into Lili's arms, grinning and yelling, "Sister Lili, look, Brother Yi is bullying us."
The Purple Cloud Beast was not willing to be lonely. When it heard that Mo Yi did not plan to take itself and Zeze with it, it immediately became unhappy. It circled around Gong Lili, nodding its little head to the ground, and tried to imitate Zeze's coquettish behavior.
Yinglili's forehead was immediately covered with black lines. She glanced at Mo Yi awkwardly. Mo Yi continued to struggle with the teacup in his hand with an indifferent expression. Yinglili knew that he was still resentful that Ping Ping Ze Ze had interrupted his good time in the morning. She was suddenly a little amused. Who knew that Mo Yi would actually have the nerve to get angry with a child? Since she couldn't say it directly, she could only pat them left and right: "Brother Yi was just teasing you guys. How could I not take you with me?"
While Ping Lili was busy and having a blast, Qingluan couldn't help herself and asked Mo Yi anxiously, "Why did you go to Kuaiji Mountain? Do you have any clues?"
Ying Lili turned her head and looked at Mo Yi curiously. After hearing Wei Xingying's "oh," which seemed to indicate understanding, she immediately understood Mo Yi's intention. If she remembered correctly, Zhuo Ao's green-clad maid was currently living on Kuaiji Mountain. Since Zhuo Ao claimed that the Demonic Key was lost, that maid was a strong suspect. First, she was the only person who could get close to Zhuo Ao back then. Second, her abrupt departure from Yonghui City was a mystery, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she took the Demonic Key. Even if the Demonic Key wasn't with her, she should know a lot about what happened back then. For everyone who was now clueless, going to Kuaiji Mountain to find Zhuo Ao's green-clad maid was undoubtedly the best option.
But then she thought again, it was impossible for all of them to go together now. As for Shen Fei and Huan Zhu, Peng Lili naturally felt embarrassed to trouble them again. Moreover, because of Mo Yi's promise just now, they both probably had their own things to do. As for Yan Zheng...
Gong Lili's gaze then turned to Yan Zheng and Yan Xiaoxiao. If she followed her heart, she would naturally want to take little Yan Zi with her, as he was a good helper when she was out robbing houses. However, she knew that Sha Mo could not do without Yan Zheng at this moment. Senior Brother Wu Su had passed away, and the three elder uncles were also in seclusion to recuperate. If she left again, Sha Mo would really be leaderless. After the war, there would naturally be many tedious things to do. Yan Zheng was currently the highest-ranking wizard in Sha Mo except Gong Lili, and was also the actual acting head of the family in Sha Mo. Because neither the three former elders nor Gong Lili were good at handling those tedious little things, so if Yan Zheng was taken away at this time, Sha Mo would really be in chaos.
Yan Xiaoxiao is deeply in love with Yan Zheng. In addition, after the previous battle with Sha Mo, Yan Zheng was also quite moved by Yan Xiaoxiao's loyalty to him at the critical moment of life and death. The relationship between the two seems to be gradually warming up. If they are separated at this time, Yan Lili herself will feel guilty, so these two people naturally cannot be taken with her.
Wei Xingying and Qingluan were two great helpers. It would be best if they could be invited along, but Ying Lili wasn't sure if they had other important matters to attend to. So, she tentatively asked Wei Xingying, "Hey, old man, are you going back to Yonghui City directly this time?"
It was naturally not easy to directly invite him to go to Kuaiji Mountain. She tried to sound him out by beating around the bush, but Wei Xingying rolled her eyes unceremoniously. "What? You want to kick me out so soon?"
Ping Lili knew his temper and knew what he was planning the moment she heard his tone. She quickly put on a shameless smile and said, "Hehe, how could that be? I'm just afraid you have other important things to do. If you don't have any other plans, why don't you come with us to Kuaiji Mountain?"
Wei Xingying glanced at her and snorted in response, though he was actually quite pleased. Gong Lili's hopeful gaze then turned to Qing Luan. Qing Luan was a straightforward person, and before Gong Lili could ask, she nodded at her, "My master has already instructed me to do my utmost to assist you in finding the two keys to the Demon Realm. Going to Kuaiji Mountain is naturally my duty."
With Qingluan 's affirmation, Ying Lili immediately felt more at ease. Although going to Kuaiji Mountain was a piece of cake with her and Mo Yi's abilities, since it involved such important things, she felt much more at ease with Wei Xingying and Qingluan by her side.
As for Zeze and Ziyun Beast, judging from the looks of the two little guys, they also had to go. Thinking that Zeze could also lead the way, there was nothing more to say.
Everyone was decisive, and after discussing it thoroughly, they decided on the six-person trip to Kuaiji Mountain. Shen Fei and Huan Zhu said their goodbyes and prepared to leave. Given Shen Fei's unwavering desire for peace and order, he couldn't just leave so easily. As he departed, he not only stuffed a bunch of bottles and jars of medicinal pills into Yan Lili's hands, claiming they were golden healing pills and healing elixirs for emergency use, but also maliciously pulled out a vermilion porcelain bottle and handed it to Mo Yi.
Shen Fei approached Mo Yi mysteriously and said to him with a sly smile, "Brother, take this. This is a secret 'good stuff' that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Shen family. It's priceless in the Void Realm. I only have this one bottle, not many left. I'll give it all to you."
He deliberately emphasized the word "good stuff" and shook the bottle deliberately. People with discerning eyes like Wei Xingying and Huan Zhu knew what it was at a glance, but he deliberately spoke in an extremely mysterious tone, causing the girls to turn their heads curiously to take a look, wondering what good stuff was inside.
Mo Yi was such a smart person, so he immediately understood. He didn't reach out to take it. His eyes gradually narrowed, and he glanced at Shen Fei with a dangerous look in his eyes: "I don't need it!"
