Chapter 5: Escape

  Zhang Fei Yang took two steps forward and suddenly came to a realization, saying: "Didn't you say that you had exhausted all your magical powers to return? How is it that there's still magical power changing?"

  "Ugh, can't you see I'm busy? So many questions, don't you know that even a supreme being like me has some things to keep to myself? Cut the chatter and let's go already!"

  Zhang Feiyang held the Lian Yao furnace in his hand, feeling that it had not only shrunk but also become lighter. He thought to himself, "This orange is really cunning, it didn't shrink earlier, and only now after something happened did it reveal its ability to shrink. It's like a master who doesn't want to show off their skills. Is he the master of the orange or is the orange his master?" Zhang Feiyang now felt that he had been led by the nose by the orange all along.

  Shu Baixue was furious, her lungs almost bursting with rage, after being spied on by the lecherous thief while she was relieving herself. The Frosty Plum Blossom in her hand was a powerful spiritual artifact, and she had initially intended to use it to behead the lecherous thief with one slash. However, upon seeing that the thief was wearing strange attire, she hesitated and did not make a move.

  After dressing up properly, something happened in this forest, and she didn't dare to pee again. So she walked out of the woods and into a clearing.

  A young girl in a green dress was crouching on the ground picking a red eight-petaled flower, saw Shu Baixue walking over and smiled: "Sister, are you okay?" But seeing Shu Baixue's unusual expression and uncertain behavior, she asked again: "Sister, what's wrong?"

  The green-clad girl's appearance may not be as stunning as Shu Baixue's, but she is also quite attractive.

  Shu Baixue's face turned red as she recalled the embarrassing incident earlier, and she quickly composed herself, saying: "It's nothing... Ah yes, Xiao Lan, how's the collection of Eight-Leaf Red Lotus going?"

  Xiao Lan picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and smiled: "It's enough, the task is perfectly completed."

  "Alright, you carry the basket and we'll head back. First, we need to climb up Mount Bixia, then leap over to Mount Hongyun, it will still take some time."

  "Uh-huh!" Little Orchid nodded.

  One in white and one in green, the two girls went towards the direction of Biyun Mountain. The two lovely young girls walked slowly through the forest, forming a beautiful picture with the flowers, grass, branches and leaves.

  It turned out that Shu Baixue and Xiao Lan were both inner disciples of the Xianjian Pavilion, who were ordered by their master to go down the mountain to collect the Eight-Leaf Red Lotus. This Eight-Leaf Red Lotus was a medicinal material for refining spiritual pills, which only grew at the foot of the mountain. Shu Baixue had thought that collecting it would be an easy task, but unexpectedly she ran into a lecherous thief; if she saw that lecherous thief again next time, she definitely wouldn't let him off.

  Two women arrived at the foot of Bixi Mountain, where two "Flame Red Steeds" were tied to a large tree trunk, lowering their heads to eat grass and blowing smoke from their nostrils. In the late spring season, the smoke was particularly visible. These Flame Red Steeds were refined by a master Xian cultivator, with strong limbs but not tall in stature, making them most suitable for women to ride. Their greatest feature was that they could travel on mountain roads.

  Two women rode on the flame-red horses, galloping swiftly along the mountain path, and in the time it took to eat a bowl of rice, they had vanished into the clouds and mist at the waist of the mountain.

  Zhang Feiyang had already left the forest, and he and Shu Baixue were going in opposite directions, so they didn't run into each other, which also saved his life.

  Ahead was a village, Zhang Fei walked over with a stride, wanting to see what the scenery of this divine state's fertile land village looked like.

  Passing through a wheat field and entering the village, I saw three farmers working in the fields along the way, but these three farmers did not see Zhang Feiyang.

  Zhang Feiyang suddenly felt disappointed, these three farmers were wearing coarse linen clothes, their faces were still dark and dull, and the "fairy" he saw before was simply worlds apart. No, how could these peasants be compared to that fairy? It's simply an insult to that fairy, the image of the "fairy" floated in his mind, Zhang Feiyang couldn't help but shake his head and not think about it.

  The village is built with brick and tile houses, similar to those of the Tang Dynasty, but the distance between houses is relatively narrow. Even the main road that runs through the entire village can only barely accommodate two horse-drawn carriages passing side by side.

  Five children aged seven or eight were playing jump rope on the main road in the village, they saw Zhang Fei Yang walking over and immediately showed a terrified expression.

  Zhang Feiyang had a set of ways to deal with young children, and all the little friends he came into contact with liked him very much. Relatives and friends all said that he was good at coaxing children, so he confidently smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Hey, little friends, how are you?" He thought that this wave of his hand would surely win over these young friends' favor.

  But the five little friends heard Zhang Feiyang speak, and they were immediately frightened "wa wa called" and ran away, shouting: "Fox demon! Fox demon! The fox demon is making trouble again!"

  The whole village was suddenly stirred up, and a dozen or so villagers carrying farm tools such as hoes, rakes, iron shovels, and wooden sticks ran out, shouting: "Where is the fox demon? Where is the fox demon?"

  A little boy pointed to Zhang Feiyang's location, and more than a dozen villagers immediately discovered Zhang Feiyang who was stunned like a wooden chicken. They held up their farm tools and rushed towards Zhang Feiyang with a fierce momentum.

  "Seize the Fox Demon!"

  "Beat the fox demon to death!"

  "The fox demon has transformed into a man this time!"

  "Right on target!"
