Chapter 27 Rich and Willful!
It seemed that there was some festival celebration. The streets were decorated with lights and colorful flags, and various shops were crowded with people.Many pedestrians were coming and going, and they kept bumping into them as they walked among them. Makinoli wanted to apologize, but these pedestrians walked away quickly without even looking back.

This strange sense of disharmony intensified again. He couldn't describe what he felt when he entered this place... Although everything around him was bustling and noisy, but after seeing the blank eyes of passers-by on the street, a chill ran down his back. After all... Wuyawu City has obviously been sealed off, why are there still so many people here?

Mu Yeli secretly poked Tan Xi and whispered: "Xiangu, is this an illusion again?"

"It's not an illusion, it's all real." Tan Xi said calmly without looking back, "But these people really can't be regarded as living people."

As soon as these words came out, Mu Yeli's hair stood on end and he followed closely behind the woman.She stopped suddenly, and he naturally bumped into her. The woman was motionless, but he was bounced back.

Makino looked at his muscles with some depression: "What's wrong?"

"Well, you go buy one." Tan Xi raised her hand and pointed to a shop on the street. A sweet fragrance wafted out of the crowded shop.It seems to be selling some kind of sweet pastry - and the sign displayed at the door of the store has flower-shaped pastries painted on it, with a line of large characters written "Buy one, get one free today on Wuyawu City's most popular honey flower cake! Only for three." Thousand copies!”

"Honey flower cake...Xiangu, do you want to eat this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, go buy it quickly." Tan Xi threw a money bag to him. The sound was quite large, and the weight was also high.

"It's just a pastry, you don't need so much money, right?" The man muttered, taking advantage of his size and height to quickly squeeze into the crowd, completely ignoring the people queuing up.

In this regard, he was similar to her... Then the clerk said something to him. The man's face became strange and complicated, hesitant, he turned to look at her, and mouthed: "This thing costs 500 taels." Silver—do you really want to buy it?”

Although he is not from the Central Plains, he still knows the value of 500 taels of silver... In short, it is definitely not the price that a piece of cake should have!Is its filling made of gold or its skin made of silver? !
Tan Xi nodded to him and signaled him to buy it quickly and not be too pushy.Makino endured the pain and gave the money, and the money bag instantly became lighter.He was holding two pastries wrapped in oil paper, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"Xiangu, these two pieces actually cost 500 taels...why don't they just go and rob?"

She took one of them and smelled it: "It's not your money. Why do you feel bad?"

"Isn't this...although Fairy Lady is not short of money, it's all your hard-earned money..."

"Stop frowning, take a bite and see."

Seeing her mysterious appearance, Makino was ready to bite into it - it was very sweet and floral, but nothing special other than that.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious...but does it have any effect? ​​Strengthen the body, beautify the skin, etc.?"

"Nothing." Tan Xi also took a small bite...it was sweet, but it was this familiar sweetness that reminded her of some memories.

This honey cake... is an important prop in a certain character's route.

She took a bite and didn't really want to eat it anymore, so she threw it to the man behind for him to deal with.Makino looked at the flower with one corner missing, thought about it, and carefully wrapped it up and put it away.

The fairy's expression just now must have reminded her of some old friend.

"Xiangu, what are we going to do now?"

"Go find someone."

"Where to find someone?"

Tan Xi raised her head and looked at the huge tower that could not be ignored.

"Go there - the Eight Gate Tower."

As the most iconic building in Wuyawu City, there were not many people in the outer square of the Eight Gate Tower. Only some soldiers with swords and armor were patrolling.Every time the track at the top of the tower rotates for a certain period of time, it makes a "click" sound, and a bead rolls down to another section, as if it is timing.

There were also soldiers holding the door. Tan Xi took Mu Yeli straight to the door with the Bagua array carved on it, but as expected, they were stopped by the soldiers.

"The Eight Gates are an important place, no idlers are allowed to enter."

Tan Xi took her time and glanced at the soldiers who were pointing weapons at her.

"This is the reward order that was torn off half a month ago. I accepted the commission from the head of your family - I'm here to find Lan Jingwu Li, the head of the Lanjing family."

She showed a piece of brown paper to the soldier, but the soldier knocked it down impatiently.

"Nonsense! Wucheng is so prosperous now that there is no need to entrust tasks to outsiders! I am afraid this monk was deceived by a thief who risked the life of the family master! Please return quickly, otherwise we will not be polite!"

"..." Seeing the rough movements of these two people, Mu Yeli was a little afraid that Tan Xi would just chop them down.But she didn't. She knelt down and picked up the reward order, her expression as usual.

"Really? Excuse me."

They left the Eight Gate Tower Square. Makinoli observed her expression and found nothing unusual, which surprised him... Is Fairy Lady such a good-tempered person?Does she really follow the rules?
Tan Xi glanced at the way he hesitated to speak, and she could tell with her toes what he was thinking: "What?"

"I thought you were going to just barge in."

Am I that kind of person?These words appeared on her face, and she hummed: "It's just a test. In fact, I already had a feeling that it wouldn't go so well."

"really? Why?"

"look by youself."

She threw the brown paper over, and he unfolded it and found that there was only a paragraph written on it and a red seal -

"Wuyawu City has fallen, and the demons are rampant. What's more, the demon general "Greed" is trying to rob our Lanjing tribe's sacred stone, the Taishi Divine Stone.The city is no longer able to resist, and we beg disciples from all major sects to come to Wucheng to lend a helping hand... I swear in the name of myself, Lan Jing Wuli, and the Lan Jing family, that if there is a hero to help Wucheng and all the people escape from the dire straits, Lan Jing will definitely offer a heavy gift. Thanks……"

Makino had just learned to read, and he read out each word slowly, as if he was understanding the meaning.

Tan Xi explained to him: "This is a commission order sent by Wuyawu City to the major immortal cultivating sects and families in the mainland. I found it and intercepted one."

"But looking at the situation now, there is a high probability that these commission orders have not been sent to the outside world, or rather they have been sent, but the assistance sent has been buried in the sea."

Mu Yeli was confused by these things that were beyond his comprehension: "Then what is this... Is Greed, the Demon Clan's heavy general, very strong?"

"It should be strong, right? Although the Lan Jing family is obsessed with mechanism arts and alchemy, it is also a family that has cultivated immortality for hundreds or even thousands of years. The fact that the demon clan can occupy the magpie's nest shows that it has certain strength."

"Demons...what exactly are they?"

Tan Xi didn't expect that he didn't even know this bit of common sense: "You can be regarded as a kind of person who is completely opposite to us immortal cultivators. There are ways to cultivate immortals, and there are naturally their own ways to cultivate demons. It's just that since ancient times, immortals and demons have been incompatible with water and fire. Those who cultivate immortality must kill demons to establish their proof, and those who cultivate demons must also swallow the essence of immortals to nourish themselves.”

Mu Yeli figured out some subtle... emotions from her plain tone: "It sounds like... Fairy Girl doesn't hate demons?"

But the woman just glanced at him lightly, and the corners of her mouth that had always been stiff and plain turned up slightly, half-smile but not a smile: "From my current position, I am naturally disgusted."

After all, she had played so many games before, and the prerequisite for at least 8 lines was to cultivate demons. Even the prerequisite for conquering the Demon King was to defeat him and sit on the throne of the Lord of the Demon Realm... Rounding it all off, cultivating demons was also the same as hers The happy hometown is almost here.

But this demon general Greed...why does it sound familiar?
