Chapter 1504: Chapter 1351: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 48
At this moment, faced with Ruoyang’s protection, Feng Feiyu was deeply moved and said with a smile, "Then I’ll have to trouble Senior Ruoyang to protect this junior of yours."
Although Ruoyang put on the air of an elder, he was still childlike at heart. Hearing Feng Feiyu say that, his ears twitched excitedly, and even his voice turned light and cheerful, no longer as serious as before.
"Don’t worry, meow, I’m super strong, meow, I’ll definitely be able to protect you, meow!" As he spoke, Ruoyang lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his paw and leapt onto Feng Feiyu’s shoulder.
After jumping onto Feng Feiyu’s shoulder, Ruoyang habitually rubbed his fluffy face against Feng Feiyu’s cheek once, then sat upright and properly on Feng Feiyu’s shoulder.
"I’ll just be on your shoulder, meow, that way no matter what danger we run into, I can protect you right away, meow. Little Yu doesn’t need to be afraid, meow."
Feng Feiyu’s heart turned soft from Ruoyang’s actions, and he couldn’t help showing a big smile. "With Ruoyang being so amazing and protecting me this closely, I won’t be scared."
Watching from the side, Shuangshuang felt a sourness rise in her heart. She felt Feng Feiyu was such a little ingrate—she treated him so well, yet he’d never treated her the way he treated Ruoyang. They’d only played together for a few days, after all.
Over there, Ruoyang and Feng Feiyu were all snuggly and sticky with each other, and Zhu Meng, who had originally been so frightened by the resentful energy of Luofeng Mountain that he shrank into Feng Feiyu’s collar and didn’t dare move, now couldn’t sit still anymore.
When Feng Feiyu was interacting with Ruoyang, Zhu Meng got jostled around inside Feng Feiyu’s collar, swaying this way and that, unable to stay steady. Twice, when Feng Feiyu moved too much, Zhu Meng almost slipped down along his clothes.
Zhu Meng propped his head up with his paws and let out a worried sigh. He really couldn’t stay in this spot any longer. He looked at Shuangshuang, who was walking not far from Feng Feiyu, his pitch-black eyes turning thoughtfully.
Crawling out of Feng Feiyu’s collar, Zhu Meng held onto Feng Feiyu’s ear to stand up, then clung to Feng Feiyu’s shoulder and sprang with all his might in Shuangshuang’s direction, landing on her shoulder.
If you talked about who among these people could give a monkey the most sense of security, none of them could compare to Shuangshuang.
The moment Zhu Meng landed on Shuangshuang’s shoulder, his heart relaxed, and he let out a relieved breath. Even the fur that had been standing on end from nervousness smoothed back down.
Shuangshuang glanced at Zhu Meng on her shoulder and didn’t show any particular reaction. Seeing that Shuangshuang tacitly allowed him to stay on her, Zhu Meng very skillfully found the opening of her collar and burrowed his whole monkey self inside.
After burrowing in, Zhu Meng used his paws to grab onto Shuangshuang’s collar, making sure he wouldn’t fall out, then began craning his neck and peering all around. Once he was on Shuangshuang, his courage grew by quite a bit.
There was a small, soft, fluffy ball pressed against her neck, and the feeling wasn’t bad at all. Shuangshuang reached up to gently rub Zhu Meng’s soft fur with her fingers, then stepped forward toward Luofeng Mountain.
But she’d only walked a few steps when she felt a push from behind. Shuangshuang turned her head and saw Mo Xuan standing silently behind her, his body already lowered, making a posture clearly inviting Shuangshuang to get on his back.
Obviously, Mo Xuan planned to carry everyone forward. Shuangshuang had originally not intended for Mo Xuan to carry everyone. Although she had thought about getting a spirit beast mount for Feng Feiyu...
At first, Shuangshuang had also thought of using Mo Xuan as a mount, but Mo Xuan’s Spiritual Wisdom had already awakened. Apart from his appearance, he wasn’t any different from a human—both were beings of Wisdom.
Since he had Wisdom, he would also have self-respect and a sense of shame. Shuangshuang didn’t intend to treat Mo Xuan as a mount, but planned to have him join the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and regard him as one of its disciples, so she didn’t want to slight him.
But now that Mo Xuan was voluntarily asking to carry people and didn’t consider it beneath him, then it was fine.
Shuangshuang didn’t stand on ceremony. She lightly leapt onto Mo Xuan’s back and, in passing, used Thousand Silk Entanglement to bring Feng Feiyu up as well.
Feng Feiyu had his back to Mo Xuan and didn’t know Mo Xuan intended to carry people. Being suddenly brought onto Mo Xuan’s back by Shuangshuang startled him, but Ruoyang, having sensed that the one moving was Shuangshuang, didn’t react at all.
Seeing Feng Feiyu’s startled little expression, Shuangshuang felt instantly soothed, sweeping away all her earlier gloom. She clasped her hands behind her back and stood atop Mo Xuan’s big head, looking into the distance, as if she hadn’t done it on purpose.
Feng Feiyu rubbed his head and looked at Shuangshuang, baffled. Why did it feel like Shuangshuang had been a bit unhappy earlier, and then suddenly became cheerful now?
Must be his imagination, right? This elder-sister-slash-master of his always had a cold face, as if her facial muscles had frozen solid. Her whole person was as aloof as snow on a mountaintop.
Perhaps because she was in charge of punishments, her conduct had always been proper and disciplined, a model of morality. How could she possibly do something as childish as deliberately scaring him? It really must be his misperception.
Luofeng Mountain had long been uninhabited. It was overrun with thorns and wild grass, branches and leaves growing rampant, and there was already no path up the mountain. Relying on his thick hide and sturdy flesh, Mo Xuan just barreled straight through, forcibly trampling out a road.
Shuangshuang released her Divine Sense, sweeping across the whole of Luofeng Mountain in search of the person who had released the rescue fireworks. At first, Shuangshuang wasn’t too worried.
But as her Divine Sense swept over the area several times and still didn’t detect any trace of people, Shuangshuang’s brows couldn’t help but knit together. How could that be?
From the moment she saw the rescue fireworks to when she rushed over, no more than the time of one cup of tea had passed. How could there be no one? Could it be that they were trapped in an Illusion Realm or Illusion Array that could conceal their presence?
Reaching into her collar to grab Zhu Meng out, Shuangshuang placed him in her palm. "Zhu Meng, see if there are any hidden Illusion Arrays or natural Illusion Realms around here."
Zhu Meng’s eyes instantly turned golden. Standing obediently in Shuangshuang’s palm, he twisted his little head and carefully surveyed the surroundings.
After quite a while, Zhu Meng turned his head and said to Shuangshuang, "Great Immortal Master, there are no Illusion Realms or Illusion Arrays around here.
But my current abilities aren’t strong enough—I can only sense within a radius of five hundred meters, so it’s possible the Illusion Array or Illusion Realm is outside my sensing range."
Shuangshuang nodded and continued to hold Zhu Meng as she had Mo Xuan quicken his pace. Zhu Meng, meanwhile, kept probing the surroundings for traces of Illusion Realms or Illusion Arrays.
However, before Zhu Meng could discover anything, Shuangshuang’s Divine Sense had already found two people at the crook of a valley: one wearing a Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciple’s robe, and the other wearing a Feihua Valley disciple’s outfit.
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciples all wore light blue robes, with wide, flowing sleeves that looked very immortal-like, while Feihua Valley disciples all wore white Martial Arts Uniforms and carried Longswords on their backs.
When Shuangshuang saw these two people, both were unconscious, their clothes filthy all over, looking quite bedraggled.
The spot they were in was far too narrow, and Mo Xuan’s body was too large to pass through. Shuangshuang and Feng Feiyu could only jump down from Mo Xuan, hack aside the weeds and thorns in front of them, and walk in on foot.
