Chapter 2232: Chapter 2232: Medicine Shocks the World (17)

The fact that Chuzheng appeared here quickly spread everywhere, becoming the center of discussion along with the coffin she brought and the person wrapped up tightly.

However, despite the discussions, no one dared to trouble her.

They were uncertain about dealing with Chuzheng, and now was not the right time to confront her.

The opening time of Wuyin Town is at noon, and there were already many people present when Chuzheng arrived.

Upon her appearance, the scene fell silent for a few seconds.

"She’s really here!"

"...What’s with that coffin? Why is she always carrying it around?"

Such a conspicuous thing as a coffin, who would just carry it around?

And what use does it have anyway!

"No idea..."

"She’s entering too, won’t she harm us?"

The sounds of discussion were incessant.

"Elder Meng..."

"Elder Meng, you’ve arrived."

The crowd suddenly stirred, as Meng Weihan brought Yan Hongni, surrounded by people.

The young man named Wu Yue was also following behind them at this time.

Yan Hongni appeared along with Meng Weihan, still being the subject of flattery, with sweet words coming out in different forms.

Yan Hongni listened comfortably, with a bright smile on her face.

Meng Weihan exchanged greetings with everyone, his gaze falling on Chuzheng, his eyes pausing slightly.

She’s here too...

Her appearance seems to have changed significantly since he last saw her.

"Master..." Yan Hongni noticed Meng Weihan staring at Chuzheng and immediately called out, "Will we be separated once we enter?"

Meng Weihan was drawn back by Yan Hongni’s voice and proceeded to explain the precautions to her carefully.

"Is that the Moon Restorative Fruit?" someone asked their companion uncertainly.

"...Seems like it is."

"!!!!"

"That Demon Head is actually so wealthy?"

Yan Hongni heard the discussions and glanced toward Chuzheng.

Chuzheng stood calmly by the coffin, the figure wrapped in a white cloak standing next to her, eyes downcast staring at the ground.

Chuzheng took out a fruit resembling an orange from somewhere; its flesh was white.

The young man wanted to take the whole piece, but Chuzheng fed him piece by piece.

The Moon Restorative Fruit grows on cliffs, the ripe fruit turns yellow with white flesh, juicy and sweet.

The flesh contains spiritual power, which can quickly replenish spiritual energy, and long-term consumption can boost cultivation without any side effects.

However...

This isn’t something the average person can afford.

One Moon Restorative Fruit costs two hundred Lingbi.

About half a year’s worth of food for an ordinary family of three.

Even if wealthy, one can’t treat Moon Restorative Fruit as a snack.

This Demon Head casually takes out a Moon Restorative Fruit... eating it as a snack?

Where does she get so many?

"I don’t want to eat anymore..." Jing Po tugged on Chuzheng’s sleeve, somewhat aggrieved, "It’s sour."

Chuzheng: "Hm?"

Sour?

Chuzheng tasted a piece but didn’t find it particularly sour...

However, the Good Person Card is always particular, so Chuzheng didn’t argue, she handed him two pieces of candy.

Their interaction was indescribably intimate.

The Evil Spirit beside them was rolling its eyes, while others were left with confusion, shock, and astonishment.

That’s a bloodthirsty Demon Head!!

Who is that person by her side!

-

At noon, a halo of light suddenly appeared in front, rippling like water waves, expanding outward.

"It’s here!" the Evil Spirit said.

Chuzheng vaguely heard a sound in the air... like music, but somewhat chaotic.

That feeling is like... music from a marketplace.

"Once inside, do not be confused by any sound." The Evil Spirit explained to Chuzheng in a sentence, "Once confused and you take the wrong path, you won’t be able to find the correct one and won’t get into Wuyin Town."

The Evil Spirits are different; they can’t hear those sounds.

Thus, they can safely traverse that path and reach Wuyin Town unaffected.

Chuzheng nodded to indicate understanding and lowered her head to ask Jing Po.

"I... can do it."

Chuzheng was still uneasy, wanting to block Jing Po’s hearing, though the Evil Spirit mentioned it wouldn’t work.

The sound isn’t something you stop hearing simply by blocking your hearing.

"Don’t let go of my hand." she instructed.

"...Okay." Jing Po obediently nodded, proactively tightening his grip on her hand.

Chuzheng was pleased, patting his head, as Jing Po’s face turned slightly red, lowering his gaze.

Chuzheng discovered Jing Po’s shyness points differ from normal people.

Holding him, or even hugging him doesn’t embarrass him, but patting his head makes him blush.

The Good Person Card is too hard to fathom...

The halo ahead had expanded enough for passage, people hurried through, while Chuzheng remained still at the back.

Meng Weihan and his people also didn’t move.

Eventually, almost everyone had gone through, yet Meng Weihan remained still.

He glanced in Chuzheng’s direction, seemingly wanting her to enter first.

Chuzheng wasn’t hurried, calmly waiting.

"Master... It’s about to close." Yan Hongni reminded Meng Weihan.

The opening time is limited; if they don’t enter now, it’ll be too late.

Meng Weihan: "Let’s go."

Yan Hongni quickly stepped forward, grasping Meng Weihan’s sleeve.

With few people around now, Meng Weihan didn’t evade, holding Yan Hongni’s hand directly as they entered the halo together.

Chuzheng fixed her gaze on the halo: "Once out, do we exit from here again?"

"Yes." The Evil Spirit nodded.

Chuzheng pondered: "If we guard here, wait for the exit to appear, and destroy it, will they not be able to come out?"

"..." The Evil Spirit looked at her with an aghast expression.

But then considering she’s from Demon Mountain, such a sinister thought is expected.

The Evil Spirit cautiously said, "To destroy the entrance... might take some effort?"

Chuzheng uttered an ’oh’ softly, speaking casually, "I was kidding."

Evil Spirit: "..."

Your previous demeanor didn’t look like joking.

Chuzheng, dragging the coffin with one hand while holding Jing Po with the other, stepped into the halo.

Upon entering, the sight instantly brightened.

The chaos of music blasted by the ears transformed into horror film background sounds.

Even with sufficient lighting, the sound incited terror.

Chuzheng first ensured the Good Person Card, coffin, and Evil Spirit were still at her side before starting to observe the surroundings.

Besides them, most of those who entered were still here.

They were all scrutinizing their surroundings, yet no one acted.

Positioned at their center, countless stone monuments stand around.

The stone monuments are blank, offering nothing.

"This is the Wuyin Maze Array, and we must pass through it," the Evil Spirit diligently began its role.

"It’s said that everyone hears different sounds here," the Evil Spirit angrily commented, "What sounds do you hear?"

Chuzheng: "..."

Horror film background sounds.

Chuzheng didn’t answer and fearing angering her, the Evil Spirit avoided further inquiry.

Meanwhile, some had already begun moving.

They held a small lamp emitting a faint glow, flickering.

"That’s a Guiding Soul Lantern made from the souls of people they’ve killed and refined," the Evil Spirit showed disgust, "For selfish desires, they kill, ending up achieving nothing."
