Chapter 627 Li Shentan gets pursued

In an old Daoist temple more than 600 kilometers away from Luoyang City, Li Shentan, who Ren Xiaosu had been looking for, was looking at the campfire in front of him with a melancholic expression. He also added some firewood to the fire as he watched it burn.

A cataclysmic event had caused human society to collapse, yet this temple was still standing here fine. At least, it did not collapse.

Si Liren looked at Li Shentan eagerly while pointing at the pheasant roasting over the fire. “Can I eat yet?”

Li Shentan looked back at Si Liren and saw her dirty face. He sighed and said, “What the hell did I do to deserve that girl’s relentless pursuit? I wasn’t the one who caused them to miss out on reuniting. Speaking of which, I even made an effort to bring them back together.”

“But she doesn’t know that.” Si Liren muttered, “She doesn’t know what we did, nor does she know that Ren Xiaosu was at Luoyang City. I keep getting the feeling that she’s only hunting you because she doesn’t like you.”

“Do you have to be so honest?!” Li Shentan glared at Si Liren. He tore off one of the roast pheasant’s legs and gave it to Liren. “Be careful, it’s hot.”

But Si Liren did not care. She was famished. After running around aimlessly with Li Shentan for more than half a month, her little face had slimmed down even more!

“Why aren’t we getting back at her?” Si Liren asked after taking a bite of the drumstick.

“If we had really tried to fight her, we would be in big trouble.” Li Shentan sighed and said, “There’s some people we can go against, and some we shouldn’t, understand? That girl is really strong. She’s so elusive that it’s almost impossible to guard against her. But I haven’t seen any signs of her for a week already, so I guess she doesn’t have time to waste with me anymore. After all, looking for Ren Xiaosu should be the priority for her.”

“Since she’s not pursuing us anymore, how about we return to Luoyang City?” Si Liren was still thinking about the roasted sweet potatoes in Luoyang City. It was particularly difficult for these two people who did not have many wilderness survival skills to make it out here.

Li Shentan shook his head. “Luoyang City has become a troublesome place, so we can’t go back there now. Grandpa Hu Shuo sent us some information and said that a lot of supernatural beings have gathered at Luoyang City in the past month. He was the one who told us to quickly leave that place.”

“What’s Grandpa Hu Shuo doing now?” Si Liren asked.

“He couldn’t idle around any longer and went back to his old profession. He’s set up an intelligence network, and I even heard he’s adopted some refugee orphans to raise them,” Li Shentan answered.

“Why did those supernatural beings go to Luoyang City?” Si Liren grumbled, “I can’t even enjoy my sweet potatoes now!”

“A person’s talent will arouse the envy of others.” Li Shentan sighed and said, “Think about it. For a single stronghold to control more than half the satellites that are still in service, it’s only normal that there’s people hankering after them. Grandpa Hu Shuo said that some very determined people are after those satellites this time. The satellites seem to be very important to them, although he doesn’t understand why.”

“Then where can we go if we can’t return to Luoyang City?” After Si Liren finished eating the drumstick in her hand, she greedily eyed the one in Li Shentan’s hand.

“Why don’t we head south to see the sea first?” As Li Shentan handed his roasted drumstick to Si Liren, he thought for a moment and said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to know what the sea looked like? I’ve never seen the sea before either. Apparently, it used to be very lively there before The Cataclysm, but now, the consortiums avoid it. I think it’s because typhoons are a common occurrence there now. Those typhoons are so strong they can blow us away.”

“Alright, let’s go and see the typhoons then!” Si Liren said firmly.

“Silly Liren, typhoons only occur in the summer.”

“Then we’ll stay there until summer!”

“This is the first time I’ve heard someone get so excited about seeing typhoons….”

…

Inside Luoyang City, Ren Xiaosu spent almost half the night searching for Dong Funan. In the end, he didn’t know where that female vampire had ventured off to, as he did not manage to find her again.
