Chapter 137 Spirit Fire (1/2)

At the same time, he realized that while he was caught up in the peaceful state of mind earlier, time had swiftly gone by without him being aware of it.

Was it a hundred years or just a split second? One could not really tell the difference.

Thankfully the peaceful state of mind kept him in the low, he was able to somewhat escaped from danger and went deep into Xi Huang.

As for why he was awakened by the singing water deer demon, perhaps it was because he had reached the maximum level of stillness and the water deer demon coincidentally passed by.

This realm was not a mystery nor it was fathomable. But there was a strong sense of loyalty in it. Shen Lian had that realization after going deep into Xi Huang.

In life, there were circumstances where one wanted something one could not get, or got something one did not want. If he could put his experience at this strange realm into Huandan’s perspective, Shen Lian couldn't have asked for something better. But unfortunately he did not feel that the peacefulness he had earlier could bring him any benefits.

Shen Lian’s mind was rapidly spinning but he remained composed and said, ”Thank you.”

”Now that you’ve your answer, please leave,” the girl in green skirt replied coldly.

The green faced man sitting below the steps said, ”Fellow Dao friend, we could learn a thing or two from each other if we sit down and talk about Dao.”

After speaking to Shen Lian, the green faced man turned to the girl in skirt and say, ”Dear King, I don’t usually eat human flesh, so how about we have a vegetarian meal for today?” The purpose of him saying that was to accommodate Shen Lian.

It was normal for demons to eat human and humans to eat demons. It would be disgusting if they practice cannibalism.

Shen Lian responded, ”That is unnecessary. Our approach to Dao are poles apart. Even if we talk about Dao, we might end up in conflict.”

The green faced man’s eyes looked like it was flickering in green flames. His piercing gaze was on Shen Lian for the longest time.

He responded, ”If you’re not willing then let’s forget about it.”

Shen Lian nodded and left the scene.

After Shen Lian left, a long shadow in front of the green faced man caught on green flames of witch fire that spreads to the area Shen Lian was standing earlier.

The fire reabsorbed into the green faced man’s body once it was released.

The girl in green skirt wasn’t surprised but the demon armies were stunned.

”This guy sure has guts to visit my abode. He is not only brave but also capable. He didn’t touch any of my booby traps but I’m really curious, why is your witch fire not effective on him at all?” The girl in green skirt curiously asked.

The green faced man pondered and answered, ”I don’t understand either. This fire is cultivated from the fire seeds from the Nine Underworlds. Although it’s not the true Fire of the Nine Underworlds, but it generally is effective when burning a person’s spirit. But when it comes to that person, he was able to suppress to combustion.”

”Maybe you should go home and ask your master. He would know better,” the girl in green skirt replied.

The green faced man’s face twitched and the girl in green skirt noticed, he responded, ”Dear King, that is funny. All along it was my master who would come and look for me. I wouldn’t know about his whereabouts.”

The girl in green skirt smiled, ”I didn’t ask you to go and look for him. I’m only telling you ask him the next time you see him. After all, his understanding of Qing Xuan is pretty deep.”
