Chapter 46: The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Demon (Part 2)

  Hailong said proudly: "Take it down and let my wife try it on. As long as it fits, we'll take it." Fengling gently pulled Hailong's clothes, and Hailong seemed to be unaware of it. Although he had no money on him, he had already made up his mind that even if he had to exchange his own magic treasure for it, he would definitely give this one-of-a-kind coat to Fengling. After hearing Hailong's words, the shopkeeper hesitated and said: "I'm not in charge of this, why don't you wait a bit? I'll go ask my boss."

  At this moment, another customer walked into the leather goods store. Hailong inadvertently turned his head to look back and saw that the person was slender, wearing a moon-white long gown with bright peony flowers embroidered on the luxurious brocade, looking exceptionally eye-catching. The person appeared to be in their early twenties, tall and slender, with fair skin and a handsome face that had a hint of femininity. In his hand, he held a fan made of jade stone, gently fanning himself, exuding an air of elegance. He walked slowly to the side of Hailong and the others, his gaze also falling on the silver fox fur coat, seemingly entranced. Now, in the minds of Hailong, Hongzhi, and Xiaojingling, they were all wondering, unable to determine whether this person was male or female. The delicate body trembled slightly, instinctively blocking Hailong's path, a cold aura spreading around her instantly. Hailong was shocked to discover that the small hand he held in his palm had broken out in cold sweat.

  The buddy is back, and with him comes a man in his forties, short and stout. Before they could speak, the newcomer points at the silver fox fur coat and says, "Boss, I'll take this one." The sound of his voice makes everyone present shudder, for although it's clearly a male voice, he speaks with an exaggerated gentleness that gives off an extremely strange feeling.

  "Hai Long slightly angrily said: 'What's with you wanting it, I already wanted it first. When buying things, there should be a first come first served basis, right?'"

  The young man closed his jade fan and threw a flirtatious glance at the Sea Dragon, saying: "Hey, little brother, this is where you're wrong. How dare you compete with me for things?"

  The dragon felt the hairs on the back of his neck standing up, and frowned: "You damned ghost, don't talk to me, I just ate my fill, and I'm not about to throw it up."

  The young man's face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and ignored Hailong, turning to Piaomiao: "Piaomiao! Is this your apprentice? How can you be so rude to me?! You should teach him well!" Upon hearing his words, Hailong, Hongzhi, and Xiaojingling all showed a look of shock. They never expected that the young man, who looked extremely disgusting, could actually recognize Piaomiao.

  "Gold Thirteen, you still haven't paid back the debt you owe to our Lianyun Sect. Now you're here provoking us again? If you want a fight, I'll accompany you anytime."

  Hai Long stared at the young man in shock, his heart racing wildly. The androgynous person before him was actually the master of the Evil Dao Sect, Wan Nian Lao Yao Jin Shi San. From appearance alone, it was impossible to discern his cultivation level. Pointing at the opponent, Hai Long muttered: "You're Jin Shi San? So that means our two Daoist masters from Yun Cloud Sect were killed by your hand."

  "Little brother, don't spout nonsense in this ordinary world! Are you trying to force me to take drastic measures?" Without any warning, several black threads flashed by, and except for the four people including Hailong and Jin Thirteen, everyone else in the shop suddenly fell to the ground, silently and quietly dead. Jin Thirteen's move was extremely swift, even Youhuang couldn't stop it.

  Hong Zhi was enraged, saying: "Good demon, today I will definitely subdue the demon and eliminate the evil." A flash of light, and the Buddha's bowl appeared in his hand. The brilliant Buddhist light instantly filled the skin goods store, heading towards Jin Thirteen.

  Upon seeing Bodhi Basin, Jin Shi's expression changed slightly, and the pure Buddha light seemed to have no effect on him at all. He remained as calm and composed as ever, asking indifferently: "Unexpectedly! So many years have passed, and I can still see a Zen successor. Bodhi Basin, not bad. Little monk, what is your relationship with Ningyuan Zen Master?"

  Hong Zhi raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you know my master?" Jin Thirteen smiled and said, "Of course I do. Ningyuan Zen Master is one of the people I admire most. Little monk, if you don't want to see this small city destroyed, it's best not to make a move here. Moreover, even if all of you join forces, you're absolutely no match for me. Perhaps, with the addition of Jie Tian Lao Dao, we might have a good fight."

  Hong Zhi was about to retort, but heard a faint voice: "Everyone here, don't take action. Jin Thirteen, you came today just to show off your military power? You've found the wrong person. Let's continue."

  Jin Thirteen took a step forward, approached Hai Long's side, and smiled: "Hai Long, you should be congratulated! I didn't expect two Dao Zuns to die, but another one appeared, and he looks very young. Little brother, what's your name? How many years have you studied the Dao with Hai Long?" Hai Long snorted coldly: "You dead demon, get away from me. Let me tell you, Hai Long is not my master, she's my wife."

  Jin Shisan's face changed, and he looked at Hailong, then at Piaomiao, before suddenly bursting into loud wails. His cries shook the heavens, and tears poured down his face, washing away the powder on his cheeks. This outburst stunned everyone present, including Hailong. Who would have thought that the Demon King, who ruled over all the demons in the realm of Shen Zhou, would cry like a child?

  After a while, the crying stopped, and Jin Thirteen sobbed: "Piaoyou, you have such a cruel heart! In this world, I only like you, but I didn't expect you to fall in love with someone else. What's so good about this kid? He's not even as handsome as me, and his cultivation is also inferior. Why did you marry him?" As soon as he heard Jin Thirteen's words, the Dragon King became furious, and his divine power suddenly burst out: "You dare to say that? You think you're worthy of liking my Piaoyou? Who has inferior cultivation? Let's go outside and see who's better." Jin Thirteen wiped away his tears, and his face immediately turned red. He looked at Piaoyou with a resentful gaze and said to the Dragon King: "You're not even qualified to fight me! I'll tell you, I won't give up on Piaoyou. You'd better be careful. If those greedy guys under my command devour you, it will be a disaster for both of us." He looked at Piaoyou and said: "Since you like that fur coat, I'll give it to you. I know you don't want to see me kill people randomly. The people here aren't dead; I just used the Soul-Extinguishing Technique to erase their memories." With a flash of light, he vanished into thin air without leaving any trace. Although they didn't fight, Jin Thirteen still brought an unparalleled shock to the Dragon King and his companions. From the moment he entered the door, Xiao Jingling was trembling with fear. The invisible pressure made everyone, including Piaoyou, feel like they couldn't breathe.

  He let out a soft sigh and said, "I'm afraid our journey from now on won't be peaceful. Jin Thirteen is really strong."

  "Hai Long snorted and said, 'Wife, I really don't think he's that strong. Both Xiao Zhi and I have cultivation beyond the Unfallen Realm, plus your mid-term Dou Zhuan, can't we take him down together?'"

  Piao Yu looked at Hai Long with a serious expression and said, "Dragon, if you ever meet Jin Thirteen alone in the future, you must escape as fast as possible. He is not as simple as you think he is, every word he spoke earlier was full of murderous intent. You should know that when it comes to our true path and their evil sect, cultivation is not just a matter of one plus one equals two. With Jin Thirteen's current cultivation level, even if the four of us joined forces, we would still be no match for him. Earlier, he had at least three chances to kill you, but I stopped him each time by threatening to shatter my dan and risk my life. Otherwise, I'm afraid none of us would have survived." Hai Long's heart skipped a beat, the saying goes that "the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention", although Piao Yu was speaking the truth, being protected by his wife still made him feel uncomfortable, he coldly said, "Is he really that strong? Then why didn't he make a move when we first met?"

  "That's because he has concerns in his heart. People like Yaozong Jin Thirteen and Mozong Li Tian should have passed the calamity a long time ago. They used all kinds of methods to suppress their own magical powers to avoid the heavy calamity, unless they had no choice, otherwise they would not easily take action, because once the magical power is activated, it's not easy to suppress again. Hailong, although you saw Jin Thirteen on the surface earlier, he seemed to be a demon with rich emotions, but in fact, he didn't have any human emotions at all, and was completely a ruthless killing devil king. As far as I know, he even cut off his own emotions to prevent himself from being tempted by anything. If my guess is correct, there must be many Yaozong masters waiting for us outside the Tianluo City. It seems that this place is not far from where the old lord's record appeared. The Yaozong is here, and I'm afraid the Mozong and Xiezong are also nearby."

  Hailong said in a low voice, "In that case, our current situation is indeed very unfavorable. Let's not rush to leave the city and temporarily stay here for now. Since there are rumors of Laojunlu nearby, if the three evil sects can discover it, then other righteous sects will naturally receive the news too. As long as the righteous path participates, we'll have an opportunity. Although our current strength can't compete head-on, perhaps we can gain some advantage. Looking at his confident appearance, Piaomiao smiled and said, "For now, the evil path won't easily cause trouble either, so let's do it your way. As they say, 'a wife follows her husband', since I've become your wife, from now on I'll listen to you in everything. Although we may not necessarily obtain Laojunlu, surviving among the cracks of various forces is truly the path of training."

  "Haha, that's right! It's only in danger that we can bring out our hidden potential. Well, boss, the people on the ground aren't dead yet, they seem to be waking up, are you still buying that coat?"

  "Of course I have to buy it. Now that the weather is getting colder, I must get my wife a winter coat."

  The people on the ground gradually came to, under Jin Thirteen's soul-destroying technique, they had apparently forgotten everything that happened before and became much duller. The fellow looked at Hailong with a puzzled expression and said: "Guest officer, what's going on? Why is my head dizzy? Oh, right, you guys want to buy silver fox coats, boss, can they try them on?"

  The old boss rubbed his own head and said: "Just try it, but be sure not to get it dirty, this silver fox coat is worth two thousand taels of gold!"

  "Is it that expensive? A piece of fur coat is actually sold at such a high price, this is somewhat unreasonable." The boss explained: "A rare item is precious, and this coat made from the belly skin of silver foxes is probably the only one in the world. It's said to have used over 100 silver foxes, taking more than 30 years to complete. Silver foxes are extremely rare and cunning, making them difficult to catch. Not only is the material good, but the craftsmanship is also very high. Although it's pieced together, I guarantee you won't see a single seam. Two thousand taels of gold is already the lowest price; if we take it to the capital, it might sell for tens of thousands of taels of gold. Do you want to try it on, sir?" Hailong nodded and said: "Of course, and I'll buy this coat."

  The boss showed a hint of joy and hastily instructed the shop assistant to carefully take off the coat and hand it over to Hailong. Indeed, as the shop assistant had said earlier, this silver fox fur coat was extremely soft and light, with a smooth and shiny texture on the surface. The lining was made of the finest silk, and when Hailong put it on, it seemed like it was tailor-made for her. She took off the hat from Fengyue's head, carefully spreading out her dark green hair over the silver fox fur coat. Under the reflection of the rare fur, Fengyue's ethereal temperament appeared even more holy, as if she were a fairy descending to earth. Hailong was the first to be stunned, and everyone else was also stunned. Fengyue obviously loved this silver fox fur coat very much, spinning around in circles on the spot, smiling sweetly: "Dragon, does it look good?"

  The dragon king took a deep breath, drew the warm air back into his body, and said: "This can no longer be described as beautiful. It's surreal, to be honest, I don't even believe it myself that you would become my wife, I'm really too lucky. From now on, no matter what you want, even if it's a star in the sky, I will definitely pick it for you."

  She hesitated for a moment, then took off the silver fox coat and said, "But we don't have any money! How can we buy this coat? I think it's better to forget about it, after all, it's just something external, and I won't be able to use its warmth anyway." Hai Long shook his head firmly, walked up to the boss, and said, "I don't have cash on me. Is there a jewelry store around here where I can sell some things?"

  The boss obviously hadn't come out of his trance-like state from being enchanted by Piaoyou's stunning looks. It wasn't until Hailong had repeated himself three times and Piaoyou put on her hood that he finally came back to normal, "Ah! Guest, what did you say? Oh, the jewelry store, right? Yes, yes... Guest, your wife is truly too beautiful, I've never seen a woman with such elegance. This silver fox coat probably can only show its true value when worn by her. If I had a wife like that, even if it meant going bankrupt to buy her things and dress her up, I'd be willing!"

  A new week has begun, welcome everyone to vote. First, I'll give you all a New Year's bow.
