The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 119 Yang Le

"Sister, I just want to ask where the entrance and exit to the outside world is? I've grown up in our own clan's territory since I was little, and this is my first time traveling so far, so there's still a lot I don't understand."

Liu Xingxing looked at the scorpion demon with an innocent expression.

The scorpion demon glanced at her a couple more times, then said to her with a serious expression, "Little fox, you didn't sneak out, did you? Do your family know?"

Liu Xingxing immediately seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder: "To be honest, I did run away. These past few days, my family has been pressuring me to marry a demon I don't like, so I ran away without making any preparations."

After saying that, he would droop his face and look very frustrated.

The scorpion demon immediately believed it, and feeling sorry for the little fox, she became even more loving, instantly transforming into a doting mother.

"Hey, I knew it! Where else in this place can you find such a naive little demon like you? Your family is really something, forcing little demons to get married so early even in this day and age. It's not like we were still living as animals."

"But you've come to the wrong place this time. This place is thousands of miles away from the outside world. The only place that connects to the outside world is in Brahma City, where the Demon Emperors of all dynasties lived. We're too far away to have anything like that."

The book "Records of the Yuanzhou Continent" that Liu Xing had read contained very little about places like the demon realm and the monster realm. It mainly talked about the local chronicles of various sects, large and small, in the outside world. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to inquire about it.

However, she did know a little about Fandu; it was indeed the capital of the demon realm, but she never expected that the only way out was from there.

This is essentially the same as needing approval from above before you can leave, but I don't know how that approval process works.

Judging from the varying strengths of the demon cultivators roaming the outside world, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Liu Xingxing still looked bewildered: "Oh, is that so? How many days will it take to get to Fandu?"

"If we had a magic weapon to fly on the clouds, it would take at least half a month. If we were to walk, it would be even more difficult to say. It might take two or three months to get there."

Ok……

Does she have a misunderstanding about the demon realm? Just by releasing her little snakes, she can travel a thousand miles a day. Reaching her destination should be a matter of minutes. Why does it take so long?

However, the little snake is currently in a metamorphosis period and cannot use it. Even her several cool rides that she has never used and have been gathering dust in a corner, as well as her broken leaf flying artifact, cannot be used.

She was just a disguised demon cultivator, not a real one. She didn't know their spirit manipulation techniques at all. If she used the cultivator's way of manipulating spirits to control magical artifacts, especially since the journey was quite long, she would definitely be discovered.

Based on Liu Xingxing's limited understanding of demon cultivators, they don't really like human cultivators appearing on their territory, especially those with high cultivation levels. They often perceive it as a provocation from human cultivators, which might even cause greater conflict.

If she used the methods of a cultivator, regardless of her strength, she would be coveted by those demon cultivators. She couldn't possibly fight her way through.

Some people might simply dislike human cultivation and join in, but they haven't done anything wrong before, so they've inadvertently committed murder.

(P.S.: This is not the same as the massacre of the Dutian Pavilion; those people did indeed deserve to die.)

"Little fox, are you sure you can go that far?"

Judging from her attire and weak cultivation level, the scorpion demon probably didn't have any magical artifacts to use, which worried her greatly.

"It's alright. It's a good opportunity to broaden my horizons and see things I've never seen before. It's much better than waiting at home to get married. I've already seen so many things I've never seen before in just a few days. I'm very happy."

I pretended.

Look how moved that scorpion demon was after hearing these words. She was probably thinking to herself, "How could there be such a pitiful child? She's been locked up by her parents all this time and still has such a naive personality. The outside world is never as wonderful as she imagined."

In this dog-eat-dog world, she will die quickly, and we won't even know if her remains will be buried.

But what could she do? They were just two strangers who had met by chance. There was nothing she could do but offer her a few more words of advice.

Seeing the scorpion demon's earnest instructions, Liu Xingxing accepted her kindness one by one.

The third demon I encountered upon arriving in the demon realm turned out to be a good one.

……

They chatted for a long time without realizing it. Although the scorpion demon did most of the talking, Liu Xingxing would occasionally throw out questions, whether explicit or implicit, to get information out of her. She did manage to get a lot of information that Liu Xingxing wanted.

For example, the current general situation of the demon realm, the distribution of various forces in the demon realm, and what kind of place this is, etc.

These are things that are basically known to the demon cultivators in the demon realm. Whether they tell them or not doesn't matter much, and they are very suitable for her, a "newly emerged little demon," to hear.

I don't know how long they chatted, but it was still light when Liu Xingxing went into the restaurant. When she went out again, it was dark, but not completely dark. However, I could see that the shops outside had their lights on.

Although the sky in the demon realm is somewhat different from the outside world, it is still possible to distinguish between sunrise and sunset, and it is somewhat similar to the Cloud Sea and Jade Sky, but not entirely the same.

The sky was always somewhat hazy, and the sky in the demon realm was not completely dark. Even at night, there was still some light, enough for ordinary people to see clearly when walking at night.

However, the bluish sky had an eerie feel to it, as if it were constantly reminding people that this was another world.

The demon cultivators liked to use lights that emitted a bright red glow, and when Liu Xingxing went out, she almost thought she had stumbled into some kind of "haunted" scene.

Why do they use bright red for the lights outside, but ordinary cool white or warm yellow for the lights inside?

Liu Xingxing, who had just entered the demon realm, really didn't understand, but when she asked the demons, they didn't really understand either; it had always been like this.

However, compared to the people in the city who knew nothing when asked, some demons did know a little about it.

It is said that in ancient times, their demon ancestor violated the divine commandment by falling in love with a person from the lower realm and was punished by being banished to this place where the demon realm is now located. Not long after, that person from the lower realm died, and his soul and spirit were destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

The Demon Ancestor wept blood, his heart pierced by grief, and his blood and tears condensed into countless demon lamps glowing red.

First, to summon back the soul of his beloved; second, to scatter the soul and guide the way, lest that person not be able to find the direction of the Demon Ancestor; and third, to fulfill the promise of marriage that he had not kept, as the Demon Ancestor had always regretted not giving that person a hair-tying ceremony.

The custom of hanging red lanterns outside has been passed down ever since.

"The Demon Ancestor is quite devoted in love."

"That's right. It's just that you young folks don't believe in anything. Although this place has declined, I heard that the Demon Ancestor died here, which is why every household hangs blood lamps."

The old man at the stall—no, the old vine demon at the stall—mysteriously recounted these past events to Liu Xingxing. Perhaps he had been questioned by the younger demons, which is why he spoke in this way.

Liu Xingxing smiled faintly, neither questioning nor arguing, but casually picked up an orchid-shaped spirit-locking hairpin from the stall and asked, "Grandpa Teng, how much is this?"

"The old man thinks you're quite pleasing to the eye, so he'll give you a discount. He'll sell you five stones."

"Thank you, Grandpa Teng."

Fortunately, spirit stones are also used in the demon realm, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to exchange them for currency.

These low-grade spirit-locking hairpins are only valued for their attractive design and wouldn't normally be sold at a high price, but five low-grade spirit stones are indeed quite cheap.

After paying, Liu Xingxing casually put the hairpin in her hair, then went to find a place to stay for the night before setting off again.

The old vine demon stared blankly at the departing little demon's back, feeling a strange aura about her that she couldn't quite put her finger on. It was quite magical. Then she shook her head and stopped looking at her.

"Sigh, I'm really getting old, Yang Le. I wonder how many more years these old bones of mine can last this time..."

The old vine demon, hunched over, muttered to herself as she carefully arranged the hair ornaments on the table, a few strands of white hair that couldn't be combed onto her head fluttering in the night breeze.
