Chapter 133 The Thirteenth Month in the Clouds

Wen Li raised an eyebrow. A divine dog? It does have some taste.

Seeing Wen Li's gaze soften, Shi Tou chimed in, "Only our master could afford to keep such a majestic dog!"

"Of course, my brother said that with a wave of Master's hand, any monster will die."

Wen Li raised her head, unusually modest: "It's not that exaggerated."

"However, most of the demons have to leave me with half a life."

"Wow!"

Wen Li didn't need to look down at their expressions to hear a chorus of "wows."

"Master, please teach us."

Wen Li picked up the Second Master and was about to go back to her room: "I don't have the time to take on apprentices right now. You should go find someone else."

"I just heard that there's a place in your village where you practice martial arts. You should go there."

The group of children suddenly fell silent, looking very dejected.

Shi Tou turned and left, but Tao Xi pulled him aside and explained, "We're all just..."

She paused for a moment, then said self-deprecatingly, "No one would want to take us in as useless people without spiritual roots."

Wen Li was about to retort that it was those idiots who called them trash, but then she realized that she herself often called those without spiritual roots that way.

"Some people say that my sister is an exceptionally skilled demon hunter. Even without magic, her martial arts skills are superb. Moreover, Sister Wenli hates those who casually dismiss others, and she would be most willing to take people like us as her disciples."

After Tao Xi finished speaking, everyone looked up, their eyes fixed on Wen Li.

Looking at the light in their eyes, Wen Li asked, "Will those children with spiritual roots bully you or laugh at you?"

"They wouldn't dare! The village chief is here, though he sometimes says unpleasant things to tease us."

“They’re going to be demon hunters and heroes in the future. My mother said we should be accommodating to them and not argue with them. We’ll have to rely on them for help in the future.”

Judging from their appearance, they must have been laughed at a lot. Indeed, in this day and age, without spiritual roots, even the body's self-healing ability is inferior to others.

Wen Li squatted down and asked, "Do you know Pei Kuang?"

They shook their heads, and Wen Li continued, "Pei Kuang, the commander of the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry, is the only marshal in the world without spiritual roots, yet he still followed Shen Yingsi and killed many demons."

"Really, really?"

"Of course, it won't be long before you have a chance to see him."

Wen Li patted Shi Tou's head and said mercifully, "I still have a lot to do and can't be your master, but I can teach you a few moves. If anyone dares to bully you, fight back and don't let them think you're easy to bully."

A group of children shouted excitedly, "Really? That's great!"

"Thank you sister!"

"Sister, you are so kind!"

"Hmph~ Of course, I'm the best in the world!"

……

For the next three days, Wen Li went wild.

She thought, how could there be such a beautiful place as Guiyue Village in this world? It's simply a fairyland!

Everyone who meets her praises her for being amazing, and she's made a bunch of great friends here! She has no worries about food or drink, and spends all her time having fun—this is what life should be like!

"Don't you think she's being childish?"

"The main problem is that she calls people idiots every day. Isn't she stupid herself?"

"Perhaps, perhaps Wen Li just couldn't bear to refuse these children."

"But how could someone who usually seems so aloof and arrogant..."

Zhao Sicheng, Xie Xiao, and Wen Mingzhu were staring at Wen Li, who was squatting on the ground playing in the mud with a group of children, completely puzzled.

"Boss, you sculpted it so beautifully!"

"Of course, the stone I just made is also very beautiful. It's a shame to use it to hit people. It's still in my space. I'll take it out and show it to you now."

"Wow! Really?! Boss, you're amazing!"

Wen Li was very proud and didn't know how to restrain herself. She suggested, "Let's go to the river to catch fish to eat later. I'm pretty good at grilling fish."

Shen Yingsi walked over from a distance, pushing a large cart that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

A group of children saw him and immediately ran over excitedly.

Wow! This stroller is huge!

"Come on up, I'll push you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the children, who didn't know the meaning of politeness, pushed and shoved each other as they climbed up.

"Boss! Come on up here!"

"Boss, sit here, we've saved you a good seat!"

Stone and Tao Xi shouted at Wen Li.

Zhao Sicheng and the other two gripped their clothes tightly, holding their breath and thinking intently. They could tolerate the children, but if Wen Li were even slightly sensible, she wouldn't be allowed to sit on it!

Wen Li didn't care what they were thinking. She tidied up the children's toys on the ground before standing up and taking two steps over.

"Destination: Starting from the stream behind Aunt Li's house!"

Shen Yingsi was quite cooperative, happily replying, "Yes, ma'am!"

"Faster!"

"Order!"

Xie Xiao took a bite of the cucumber in his hand, somewhat puzzled: "Are we going to fight that brat Xi Yu tomorrow?"

"Probably. Maybe he's not as good as we think?"

Wen Mingzhu pursed her lips and stuffed a big mouthful of cucumber into her mouth.

"Li Youqian brought me a letter from my father, telling me to cooperate in setting up the formation and then escape as my fourth brother instructed. Survival is the most important thing; they didn't expect us to succeed anyway."

Xie Xiao finished the cucumber in a few bites and said, "You really underestimate our prince. Just wait and see tomorrow!"

"Aunt Song! Stop standing there daydreaming, let's go catch some fish!"

Aunt Song was leaning against a tree, lost in thought. Liu Yunyun, who was knitting a little hat for a child in front of her, saw that she didn't react and waved her hand in front of her.

"Oh, here we come."

Aunt Song came to her senses, got up, and left with Xie Xiao and the others.

Si Xiaxia watched as the protagonist's dark side indicator gradually decreased, now reaching fifty percent. She then looked at the protagonist behind her, who was suppressing a smile, and frowned, thinking—could this be the power of love?

In the city of Jin, where the moon was half full, demons reveled and little devils gathered.

Since the seal was loosened fifty years ago, the Ghost King, who was originally sealed in Ghost Valley, escaped here.

The Ghost King seized the city, and his minions followed him. The city's inhabitants were devoured, slaughtered, and enslaved, with only a few escaping. Half-Moon City was in fact a ghost city. The imperial court initially sent many demon hunters, but anyone who entered Half-Moon City never came out again.

From then on, virtually no one knew what was going on inside the city of Yueban.

Within Half-Moon City, ghostly energy swirled. The once grand and magnificent buildings were now dilapidated, and the wide streets were deserted and desolate. The air was filled with the occasional laughter of small ghosts. The entire Half-Moon City was shrouded in darkness, except for the main road in front of the city gate, which was filled with will-o'-the-wisps.

At this moment, a stage that seemed out of place in the city of Yueban City was erected in the middle of the avenue. The stage occupied two-thirds of the avenue's width and was two meters high.

Fifty people, men and women, stood on the stage. Below the stage, countless little ghosts and demons floated about, some looking exactly like humans, some half-human and half-ghost with human faces but demon bodies, and some completely demonic. In short, they were all different in form.

"This time, the fifty people on stage are no ordinary people!"

On stage, a handsome young man spoke smugly, his fangs flashing with excitement.

"What is it? What is it?" The demons below the stage seemed very excited.

"These are all demon hunters!"
