邪神之道 B1

A Good Person?

The journey to the location of the Nine Dragons' Vault is a day away as everyone moves up north from the direction of the Burial Grounds Sect.

Moving through the dense green forest they didn't carry anything in terms of baggage on their person as they would store all their essentials in their storage bags.

Having found someone that he can talk to Ye Gui Feng walks side by side with Feng Jian Yun much to everyone else's surprise and shock.

"H-Hey who is he?"

"He's talking to the Jiàn Mó? (剑魔 Translation: Sword Demon)"

Recalling the many rumors that surround Feng Jian Yun many are shocked to discover him actually talking with an unknown disciple.

A few of the female disciples who are here would occasionally glance towards Feng Jian Yun who is smiling lightly while talking to Ye Gui Feng.

(*Sigh* he's a handsome person to begin with so I'm not surprised...)

It was somewhat depressing how the ladies didn't pay much attention to him but Ye Gui Feng is never the less happy just to have someone to converse with.

If Ye Gui Feng had to be on his own throughout this trip it would be quite boring considering how Elder Shu has his duties to protect Long Huangrong.

"Hey why does everyone call you the Sword Demon?"

"Ah..."

As if recalling an embarrassing memory from a while back Feng Jian Yun coughs lightly.

"This... A few days after I entered into the inner sect I split apart my Immortal Cave and had to move right after."

"...Eh?"

Was it because Feng Jian Yun is the final boss and because of this he is extremely powerful? But to split apart an Immortal Cave so casually sounds too surreal.

That is until Ye Gui Feng looked around at the faces that everyone had been making upon Feng Jian Yun admitting to his mistake.

"It's honestly been a headache. Day one I killed off some seniors who provoked me so ever since I've entered into the sect I've been seen as dangerous. But I'm glad to finally have someone to talk to."

(Ah I suppose being the final boss is a lonely role...)

They continue to converse while on the move until one of the elders call for a break.

"Ah my legs..."

"Why couldn't we have horses?"

"There was no reason to rush considering how long it takes for the Nine Dragons' Vault to open."

"So we're camping out here for the night?"

"Yeah."

Overhearing the group's conversation Ye Gui Feng looks up at the skies as he and Feng Jian Yun sat with their backs against a tree trunk.

The sun is almost about to set and night time hours will bring trouble in this dense forest that's infested with magic beasts.

"Junior Brother Ye your Jiangshis are quite tough to pierce through."

"You managed to scratch off quite a bit of their special coating so you would have eventually done them in."

"Doubt I would have lasted that long."

"Your final charge nearly had my life."

"Hahaha had you not conceded then maybe."

Hearing this Ye Gui Feng's mouth twitches. Recalling that moment from a while back he truly was frightened. But since he is acquainted with the final boss now it should help boost his survivability in this environment quite a bit.

"Hmm you two seem to be chatting quite happily..."

"Greetings to you Princess Huangrong."

(Bitch.)

Upon the sight of this person Ye Gui Feng immediately curses and frown inwardly as he and Feng Jian Yun both stand up to give Long Huangrong a slight bow.

"Oh? Are you unhappy about what I did last time San Xiao?"

Despite knowing that Ye Gui Feng has a connection to the Heavenly Demon Sect Long Huangrong is still fearlessly calling Ye Gui Feng by that insulting title.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare Princess Huangrong."

Although he is enraged about being called such a title Ye Gui Feng felt like he has no choice but to put up with it.

"Sword Demon was it?"

Ignoring Ye Gui Feng for the time being Long Huangrong turns her head to Feng Jian Yun.

"Ahaha please that title is rather harsh..."

Long Huangrong smiles lightly before turning back to address Ye Gui Feng.

"I heard that you've been asking around about this thing."

Upon seeing the flintlock pistol taken out of Long Huangrong's storage bag Ye Gui Feng instantly tenses up his body.

"Relax I won't shoot you this time."

"I-I see..."

"In any case I got this in the midst of my travels from some passing by merchants so I can't really say much about it..."

"I see..."

Ye Gui Feng thought about the possibilities that perhaps someone from his world had been reborn here in this world as well and maybe it had been them who had invented the gun.

"Is there a reason behind you inquiring about it?"

"No it just reminds me of... Home I suppose?"

The gun is an object from Ye Gui Feng's life in the 21st century so in a way it did remind him of his old home despite him never having owned a gun.

"Oh interesting? Then you should know about this more than me."

"Well..."

Ye Gui Feng averts his eyes seemingly in discomfort from being stared at.

"*Sigh* whatever. If you wanted to ask me something don't beat around the bush."

Having said that Long Huangrong left leaving Ye Gui Feng utterly dumbfound.

(Don't tell me this bitch is actually a good person?)

Rather quickly Ye Gui Feng inwardly shakes his head as he refuses to believe that. His first impression of Long Huangrong won't change that easily.

A person has only one chance to make a first impression and Long Huangrong had blown it up with the flintlock pistol.

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Ye to know Princess Huangrong so well."

Turning to Feng Jian Yun Ye Gui Feng sighs and shakes his head.

"I don't. She shot me using that thing when we first met. Had I not pulled out Big Brother Deadman to hide behind on time I wouldn't be talking with you right now."

Night draws near as campfires are set up with meals being prepared. Everyone ate a decent sized meal.

For night guard duty it was left up to one elder and five disciples to keep watch on a rotational basis.

Naturally Ye Gui Feng won't pull out his red chrysanthemum with so many people nearby as such he finds it somewhat difficult to sleep.

(Ah I feel like a child who doesn't have their favorite stuffed animal with them in bed despite how embarrassing that might sound...)
