Traveler of the River of Time and Space

The food prepared by these demons is surprisingly similar to those made by humans, and the taste is quite good, indicating some careful research.

"Do the demons here also live like humans?" Su Ziyu curiously asked.

"They are intelligent creatures, most of whom are formed from ordinary birds and beasts, naturally having some similarities with humans." The Blue Lantern seemed to only drink alcohol, not touching any other food. This Great Demon appeared to be slightly inebriated, her delicate face flushed, breathing softly: "Lord Su, do you have any stories tonight?"

You invited me out for a stroll, yet you want to freeload my stories.

Su Ziyu smiled without speaking.

He was just curious about the situation in this world but was not a storyteller.

At this moment.

A faint bird call was heard outside, followed by a flickering flame appearing beyond the bamboo forest. Su Ziyu furrowed his brows slightly, sensing that another demon had arrived, and it seemed quite powerful.

The Blue Lantern, who had been slightly inebriated, instantly returned to normal, sitting up straight unconsciously, inwardly thinking: "Why is she here?"

Tap, tap, tap.

Footsteps gradually approached.

Then, a woman with purple hair, pointed ears, with slender white hands and long red nails, wearing an exquisite red and black gown, emerged. When she appeared, Su Ziyu finally saw her face clearly, and for a moment, he was stunned. It wasn't that her appearance was stunning, but he saw a purple phoenix tattoo on her profile.

——"Phoenix Fire!"

A legendary demon supposedly an incarnation of flame, yet is merely the fire left in the mortal realm after the phoenix's rebirth. The phoenix's rebirth is the switch between life and death, and this flame was later embraced by the Netherworld, transforming into a peculiar demon.

The Phoenix Fire before him was a female incarnation, appearing quite enchanting, with her red and black gown resembling a flowing feather dress. She had a cold expression, glanced at Su Ziyu, and sat beside the Blue Lantern.

When she sat down, the Blue Lantern visibly trembled.

"Blue Lantern! You're being mischievous again!" Phoenix Fire picked up a wine cup and drank it all at once, expressing indifferently.

This one is a God of Fusang.

Very powerful.

Yet, it's not clear how powerful.

Fusang fears demons who transform into male appearances because encountering such demons often signifies death, whereas those transforming into female appearances are marginally better; at least the probability of death is lower. Usually, they bring harm through deceptive means. Male incarnations of Phoenix Fire are considered guides to the Netherworld, representing the death part in the phoenix's rebirth, while female incarnations are much better, representing life in the phoenix's rebirth, generally not causing harm.

"Not at all. I haven't. Really." Blue Lantern's expression seemed somewhat evasive, she glanced at Su Ziyu and bowed her head.

Phoenix Fire's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Blue Lantern, and slowly said: "Then what are you doing here at Danbo Mountain? This is Jiutun Tongzi's territory!"

"Just visiting. Haven't been to the Earth Spirit Spring for a long time." The Blue Lantern seemed to lack confidence.

"With him?" Phoenix Fire turned to look at Su Ziyu, her tone unfriendly.

The Blue Lantern's power isn't weaker than Phoenix Fire's, why does she seem to have no confidence facing her?

Am I being caught in the crossfire?

I didn't do anything?

Su Ziyu raised his wine cup in a toast gesture, seeing no response, he drank it and then stood up directly: "Tonight has been enjoyable! Let's gather another day!"

"Farewell!"

This place is not suitable for prolonged stay.

Why do I feel like I've been caught in some clandestine affair, what's the relationship between Phoenix Fire and Blue Lantern?

Su Ziyu doesn't like troublesome matters, so he decided to slip away.

Hmph!

Upon seeing Su Ziyu get up, Phoenix Fire snorted coldly, followed by threads of flames rising, flying directly towards Su Ziyu.

"No!" Blue Lantern exclaimed, instantly standing up.

She wasn't trying to stop Phoenix Fire but the rapidly vanishing Su Ziyu. Blue Lantern directly shielded Phoenix Fire, a cluster of eerie green flames encircled them both, and then this Great Demon softly apologized: "Lord Su, calm down! She didn't mean it!"

A cold glint halted.

Su Ziyu reappeared behind Phoenix Fire, slowly retracting his Meteor, and said solemnly: "Just say directly."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Why bring me here?"

Only then did Phoenix Fire feel a chill on her neck, raised a hand lightly touching her slender neck, revealing a faint mark of blood. Her expression changed dramatically, she stated solemnly: "What are you? Ghost? Or demon?"

Could not even see the movement.

The other seemed to disappear into thin air, suddenly appearing behind her.

"Lord Su is a Tang man. Just arrived at Fusang for a tour." Blue Lantern secretly transmitted to Phoenix Fire behind her: "Don't act rashly! He has the Thunder Technique!"

Thunder Technique?

Upon hearing Blue Lantern's words, Phoenix Fire's expression instantly turned wary.

Tap, tap, tap.

At this moment, the owner of the inn appeared, the Three-tailed Fox knelt in front of Su Ziyu, bowed gracefully: "Please, calm down, Lord."

"All of this is my fault."

"It's I who asked Blue Lantern to find a master who can deal with Jiutun Tongzi, so she invited Lord Su here."

Deal with Jiutun Tongzi?

Su Ziyu turned to look at the Three-tailed Fox before him, the fox spirit had a pitiful look. Perhaps others would feel compassionate, but for Su Ziyu, already accustomed to the unique charm of female warlocks, he was almost completely immune.

Not even an Enchanting Demon could sway his will, and naturally, neither could a fox spirit.

Was Blue Lantern trying to use me to deal with Jiutun Tongzi?

In Blue Lantern's slightly pleading gaze, Su Ziyu sat down, his eyes fell on the Three-tailed Fox, and said in a steady voice: "Speak. What's really going on?"

The main quest of this world hadn't any clues at all yet.

Maybe there would be a breakthrough here!

The Three-tailed Fox appeared to be on the verge of tears, soon began narrating the whole story.

It turned out she wasn't only a spirit in Danbo Mountain but also a foster daughter of a Mountain God in the region, yet unfortunately a Great Demon came later, not only killing the Mountain God taking over the mountain, but also gathered a bunch of demons causing havoc.

This Great Demon is Jiutun Tongzi.

The Three-tailed Fox sought many ways for revenge, even requested Blue Lantern to ask people from Ghost Capital to act, but Rashomon just collapsed, Ghost Capital's Yama was unavailable, leaving no time to confront Jiutun Tongzi, these Great Demons making trouble was already considered very good.

Fusang claimed to have eighty thousand or even eight hundred thousand gods, the credibility of these gods is imaginable.

Su Ziyu hadn't expected that the Mountain God here would be killed by demons.

According to Blue Lantern's plan, she was going to take Su Ziyu on a tour here first, naturally needing someone to serve if coming for hot spring, then it would be the inn owner's Three-tailed Fox to appear.

It's best to succeed in one try.

If not successful, it could at least foster some relationship, whether to appeal to sympathy or allure with beauty, Su Ziyu's inadvertently showcased strength made them feel worthwhile to try.

Unfortunately, Phoenix Fire's appearance disrupted all plans.

This play could no longer continue, they could only disclose everything, at least not to provoke the man before them.

"Are the gods here so weak?"

"Will they have Divinity?" Su Ziyu pondered, resting his chin.

He didn't blame Blue Lantern and Three-tailed Fox, though they intended to use him, they were prepared with compensation. If Su Ziyu didn't agree, he could still benefit from it. Such transactions were acceptable to him, since they weren't considered too excessive.

Su Ziyu just didn't expect the situation in this world to be so bad.

The Mountain God was killed.

There's not even anyone to uphold justice, are the native gods of this world so miserable?

The place isn't big, but demons are really numerous!

It seems in this world, gods are also demons, and demons are gods.
