C16 (2/2)

After saying that, the weird voice completely disappeared, and the mist in front of Cai Qilong dispersed by itself, revealing a winding stone road. The stone road was paved with various colored bricks, the surroundings were filled with flowers, and the trees were filled with fruits.

Cai Qilong looked back, the road before had mysteriously disappeared, and he was stuck in a dilemma. He had no choice but to choose this stone road, and after walking for around 10 minutes, he vaguely discovered a person leaning on a big tree not far away, eating a green fruit.

Cai Qilong quickened his pace, but when he saw the person leaning on the tree, he couldn't help but laugh heartily: ”Master, why are you here? I thought something happened to you! ”

After saying that, Cai Qilong looked like he wanted to speak but was unable to do so, ”Master, just now, I met a strange thing.”

Hong Jiugong bit off the green fruit with all his might, and the juice from the fruit splattered out. He nudged the tree trunk with his elbow, and a fruit fell into Cai Qilong's hands. Hong Jiugong gestured for Cai Qilong to sit beside him and eat the fruits.

Hong Jiugong took a bite of the fruit: ”Did you encounter something strange before coming here? ”Wait for me to finish eating the fruit.”

After Hong Jiugong finished eating the fruit, he casually wiped it away and turned to look at Cai Qilong: ”Quickly eat, the taste is extremely good.”

Cai Qilong held the fruit in his hand and looked at it, he took two deep breaths, then wiped it with his sleeves. Just as he placed it into his mouth, he took a bite, and at first thought, he felt that it was very green and bitter, but after chewing it, it became very sweet and started eating the whole fruit again and again.

Cai Qilong didn't bother to wipe his hands as he opened his mouth first: ”Master, before I came here, there was a strange voice that told me that if I wanted to find the Soul-returning Aroma, I have to go to Yuan Xing Temple to retrieve the man-eating monster!”

Hong Jiugong asked with a different meaning: ”Disciple, are the fruits delicious? Other than that voice, what else can you say? ”

Cai Qilong hesitated for a moment: ”The fruit is very delicious, and when I first ate it, it was slightly bitter, but after chewing it, it became sweet and the voice said that I …”

Hong Jiugong rubbed his eyes with his right hand, and answered for Cai Qilong: ”And you say you have too much killing intent! Right? ”

Cai Qilong asked Hong Jiugong curiously: ”Master, how did you know?”

Hong Jiugong patted the dust off of his body, stood up and said: ”I will always remember my words, life is just like the fruit you ate earlier. The monster that made that sound is called — Naked Scoundrel. ”

Cai Qilong asked with doubt in his voice, ”Master, is the naked, vulgar body a big tree?”

Hong Jiugong yawned: ”Bare, is a mysterious demon that hides in the forest, it is proficient in the human language. It is hard to encounter it in a thousand years, it can predict the future of fated people and what they need.”

After Hong Jiugong finished speaking, he walked to the front by himself and started humming an unknown tune. He casually grabbed the small wine jug hanging from his waist, unscrewed the cork on the jug, and drank a few mouthfuls of strong alcohol one after another, drinking while singing.

Cai Qilong came to a realization in an instant. Not knowing why, he suddenly felt that his master was unfathomable. Looking at Hong Jiugong who had a half bent back and was walking in front, Cai Qilong's heart was filled with doubts.

Along the way, the master and disciple pair, one in front and one behind, both had an intangible mutual understanding, they all chose to remain silent, while Cai Qilong followed quietly behind, sizing up's back, and went around the last fork in the road.

Hong Jiugong stopped and ran to the corner to unbutton his pants, only to hear the intermittent sounds of water splashing. He also ordered: ”Disciple, there are people waiting outside for you, help me keep watch.”

Cai Qilong had not heard Hong Jiugong's words at all, but had been pondering them deeply. What did the monster's vulgar words mean? He would have to go through many tribulations in his life? Also, the biggest doubt in Cai Qilong's heart was, how did Hong Jiugong know what vulgarity said to him?
