Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 120 Two Nobodies Want to Lie Down

The sky in the vast desert is ever-changing! Shen Yichen and his companions finally understood what Mu Wanqian had said!

Everyone stood in an abandoned empty house, listening to the thunder rolling across the sky and watching the yellow sand flowing everywhere with the water!

Xixi said to Mu Wanqian:

"Miss, the day has passed too quickly!"

The girl Ling'er added:

"Who says it's not true? The sun hasn't even set yet, but it's already cloudy and stormy here, as if it was just a gust of wind!"

Shen Yichen looked at Lu Jiayao and asked:

"Lv Jiayao, what happened to that golden scorpion just now?"

Lu Jiayao pondered for a while and said:

"I'm not sure either. We encountered them not long after we entered the Hanhai Desert. At first, we and the people from the Yinghai Sect didn't pay much attention to them. But after being stung at night, the two uncles were poisoned. Every time we used our internal energy to force out the poison, we could only force out a little bit. It was as if the toxin had taken root in our bodies and couldn't be completely expelled!"

It turned out that after A-mei finished screaming, they saw countless golden scorpions crawling out of the sand dunes and spreading around. Lu Jiayao reminded everyone that this thing was highly poisonous, so they left the sand dunes outside the ancient city and decided to enter the desert ancient city because it was getting dark and they could only continue their journey tomorrow. In fact, Shen Yichen and his friends didn’t know which direction to go, let alone where Hailing Lake was!

Who knew that as soon as they entered the desert ancient city, the worried python sand lizard did not appear, but a strange wind blew, dust flew, and yellow sand filled the sky. After the strange wind, it started to rain! Several people hid in this broken house that barely had a roof.

Xixi started her performance again at this time and said softly:

"That should be a sand scorpion. It lives in groups in the desert. If the hook on its tail is dark red, it means it contains a highly toxic substance. However, it seems that most of them are not highly toxic!"

No one took it seriously. Such a small thing could be crushed to death with a foot. But Shen Yichen thought a lot, because Lu Jiayao's uncle was in the middle stage of the Immortal Realm. Even such a person could be poisoned. This sand claw scorpion was no joke! Although her uncle might have been careless, the poison was indeed there!

"Boy, if you can get the inner elixir of a scorpion king, maybe you can break through the Huaixu realm!"

Youyou said to the worried Shen Yichen in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Yichen directly refuted:

"You are kidding, didn't you hear her say that her uncle, who was in the middle stage of the Immortal Realm, was stung, let alone me!"

Youyou continued to argue:

"She knows nothing! Her uncle must have been injured by the Scorpion King. How can an ordinary sand claw scorpion be so poisonous? She must be hiding something!"

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard this, and said to himself:

"Did the Zixia Sect really do something bad?"

So he asked Lu Jiayao:

"Lv Jiayao, how could your uncle, who has such high cultivation level, be injured by a poisonous scorpion?"

Lu Jiayao didn't expect Shen Yichen to continue asking, which was a bit embarrassing! Thinking in her heart,

"Why is he asking so many questions? What does he want to do?"

But he still said:

"When an elder of Yinghai Sect saw the scorpion, he said that the scorpion king of this kind of scorpion had a Danzhu in his body. So everyone in Yinghai Sect surrounded a group of scorpions with fire, but they couldn't find it even after burning everything. Who knew that everyone would be surrounded by the scorpion that night! By the time they realized it, Third Uncle and the elders of Yinghai Sect had been stung. When everyone tried to fly away, a scorpion was still on a disciple of Yinghai Sect. Second Uncle slapped it away with his palm, but his hand was also stung by the hook!"

Ah Mei always interrupts in everything! She even said rudely:

"Deserve it!"

Lu Jiayao glared at her and said nothing. She was very curious about this girl who had been with Shen Yichen since Lingxu Mountain. What was her relationship with Shen Yichen? It seemed that she dared to confront everyone!

Shen Yichen shook his head, thinking secretly in his heart:

"It really serves him right! All creatures in the world are living beings, how can you be so cruel!"

But he seemed to have forgotten that Youyou and he had just discussed how to obtain the Scorpion King's inner elixir!

When the sun went down, the entire ancient desert city was hidden in the dark night of rain. Apart from the sound of rain, there was the breathing of several people. Mu Wanqian originally wanted to light up the lamp in her storage bag, but was stopped by Shen Yichen because he was afraid of attracting the python sand lizard. Anyway, there was nothing to happen, so there was no need to light it!

It was unclear whether A-mei was truly afraid of the dark or just pretending to be afraid, but she just sat in Xixi's arms. Xixi was speechless and didn't understand why A-mei was always so clingy to her!

Lu Jiayao and Ling'er sat together, leaning against the wall. Where was Mu Wanqian? She quietly moved towards Shen Yichen. Not long after, she finally returned to the familiar embrace of the dark river in the sand!

A-mei seemed to be asleep, but in fact she was sighing softly in her heart:

"A person from the Murong family in Youzhou is not someone you, an unknown person, can like! Big brother, it is hard to judge whether this love is a blessing or a curse. With her overbearing personality and age, she must be the only daughter of Murong Yanbo! Oh, the word love is so difficult!"

How could Ah Mei understand the natural psychology of young people who are moved by love? Love and affection are all based on the heart, who cares about the consequences, and how many people will think about the future?

Mu Wanqian fell asleep peacefully! But Shen Yichen did not sleep, thinking about the young lady in his arms. Who was she? Where did she come from? Why did she like him? Why did those people want to kill her? Was he moved or not? He himself did not know, but he could see that Mu Wanqian was really moved!

"Youyou, what do you think my future will be like?"

There was no response from Youyou in the sea of ​​consciousness!

"Don't pretend to be asleep! I know you are here, just snooping into my privacy all day long!"

"Boy, you're worried before you even fall in love? You should just focus on your cultivation! With your current level of cultivation, it's useless to think about anything!"

"Youyou, what's the point of practicing? Not to mention that I haven't made any progress in my practice, even if my cultivation level is high, what's the point? Will I sit alone on the Guanxing Mountain for my whole life like my master?"

What Shen Yichen said was very discouraging!

Youyou didn't respond to him immediately, but muttered to herself: "Oh no, he hasn't made a breakthrough in a long time. Will it affect his cultivation? But I have to do this! I can't survive without energy!"

After thinking for a while, he said softly to Shen Yichen:

"Your master not only knows how to sit alone, but also knows how to cheat people. No, he knows how to cheat grass! Hey, we are both victims!"

"Youyou, you always urge me to practice, and my master often urges me too! In Guanxing Mountain, I did nothing but practice, and practice was really boring. If it weren't for Xiao Ling'er, I don't know if I could stick to it! Moreover, I don't know what the purpose of practice is, it's not only boring, but also useless!"

Youyou started to criticize Shen Yichen again! She said:

"Useless? Do you feel comfortable running for your life all day? Do you feel happy begging me all day? I think it's because I help you too much, so you have no motivation to practice at all! I have to consider helping you less in the future!"

Shen Yichen didn't seem to care at all and continued:

"Youyou, have you always been alone? No, have you always been by yourself? Don't you feel lonely? What are you practicing for? And what are you doing absorbing pure energy all day long?"

Youyou answered naturally:

"Of course I have always been alone, but in my inherited memories, it seems that there were many tribesmen, but I don't know where they went! I don't know what loneliness means, because you can be considered my first partner, although we are not of the same kind! In addition to unlocking all my memories, I practice to live as long as the heaven and the earth!"

Youyou said that she had no confidence at the end, because Shen Yichen was the first person to ask her why she practiced! She had never thought about it, or to be more precise, no one had ever told her that there was a reason for practicing!

"I used to practice in order to fulfill Master's request and go down the mountain to find my mother faster. But after I went down the mountain, this idea became less important. It's not that my wish to find my mother faded, but my desire to practice was not as strong! Because I found that I didn't know why I practiced. Was it just to become stronger? Sometimes I wondered, if I found my mother from Hailing Lake, would I go back to Guanxing Mountain to live in seclusion? Then would there be any need to practice?"

Shen Yichen paused and continued to say to Youyou:

"You said I was picking up girls, but I don't have that kind of mind. Maybe after we leave the vast sea and desert, we will be separated from each other. I haven't seen any cultivators in the Guanxing Mountain for more than ten years. They must be isolated from the world. They haven't even heard of them, so how can we meet? So I'm not attracted to them at all!"

Youyou was speechless, thinking in his heart:

"You're not in love, but you're still hugging me!"

retorted:

"I'm a grass, not a person. I don't understand your feelings and love. But you hugged me and said you didn't feel any emotion. Isn't that too shameless!"

"Get lost! Let's talk business!"

Shen Yichen's face was burning in the dark night!

"Business, I can't seem to help you. I don't know why I practice. To be exact, I have never thought about this question. But I am wondering, when I turn into a human form one day, will I have so many thoughts like you?"

"Hey, I really don't have any motivation to practice! Wait, no, you said you turned into a human form? Oh my god! Are you kidding me?"

Shen Yichen finally stopped being self-indulgent and discovered other meanings in Youyou's words!

"Of course, if you hadn't been injured last time, and you were so lazy, you might have transformed long ago! In fact, if your master hadn't made trouble, we might have been friends on the Stargazing Mountain! Maybe you would have called me sister, and that girl wouldn't have anything to do with it!"

Youyou is talking about A'mei!

A'mei's eyes were open at this moment, looking at Shen Yichen quietly. Although she could not see anything in the darkness, she knew that Shen Yichen's consciousness was fluctuating violently at this moment. However, no matter how hard she tried, she would not know that Shen Yichen was talking to Youyou!

That night, Shen Yichen did not sleep. He was thinking and asking questions, but Youyou seemed to be just like him, and had no idea about the meaning, purpose and future of cultivation! Alas, poor Shen Yichen, he asked the wrong person. If he had asked Ah Mei, he might have gotten a satisfactory answer!

The two newbies in cultivation became more and more confused as they talked, and finally Youyou said:

"Why don't we go back to Stargazing Mountain? Lie down!"

Shen Yichen responded:

"That makes sense! Save my mom, and then we can go back to the mountain and lie down! Why practice all day? It's tiring and boring!"

Youyou said something very depressing:

"What will happen to Hailing Lake without your mother?"

"Shut your crow mouth!"

Shen Yichen shouted, but at the same time he was thinking:

"Hey, if I really can't find my mother, it seems that I really need to work hard on my cultivation. This cultivation level is really too low!"

At this moment, A Mei suddenly ran to Shen Yichen's left side, put Shen Yichen's hand on her waist, and whispered:

"Brother, I'm so scared!"

In the dark night, Xixi unexpectedly said:

"If you want a hug, just say so. Why do you have to find a suitable reason?"

Shen Yichen blurted out two words when he heard this:

"I go!"
