Chapter 397 Stopping at Liking
"It's not appropriate for him to flirt at my doorstep. Since he's already come to my door, let's test whether he's qualified!"
Both of them turned around and looked at him when they heard his voice.
He appeared to be a gentle and refined man, but when he raised his hand, a crack appeared in the ground.
The rising dust enveloped the two and dragged them into the dark underground.
It's like going from one tiger's den to another wolf's lair.
The trials of the Fire Lord had already exhausted them, and stepping into the Earth Lord's territory felt like entering his secret realm.
Zhongli Yueluo appeared calm and composed, but Changyu Muling seemed startled and clung tightly to her.
It's impossible that he's afraid of the dark, right?
“Young friends, you are in my secret realm. If she can come out successfully, she will be qualified to be my successor.”
"Lord Tu, you must keep your word. What proof have you left in this secret realm?"
"There is a core in this secret realm. Once you find that core, you will be able to leave."
Tu Jun's voice was ethereal and distant, echoing throughout the entire space.
Zhongli Yueluo snapped her fingers, and a small flame ignited at her fingertips, illuminating the surrounding environment.
Chang Yu Muling breathed a sigh of relief; he had indeed been a little timid.
"It looks like we're in a cave. We should be able to get out by feeling around the cave walls, and we can feel the wind blowing from there."
Zhongli Yueluo analyzed the situation calmly, but suddenly felt as if something was blocking her throat.
He opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Then Tu Jun's voice rang out: "All of this should be done by this kid from the Changyu family, not by you."
"So you're temporarily rendered mute by my 'poisoning,' and all you can do is pray for my company."
Zhongli Yuelu clicked her tongue inwardly, and it seemed that even thoughts couldn't be used.
Chang Yu Muling smiled slightly at Zhongli Yueluo. Although he was a little timid, he was more than capable of accomplishing these tasks.
Holding Zhongli Yueluo's hand, they felt their way along the cave wall and headed towards the wind, which carried a pungent, earthy smell.
You also have to watch out for the loose stones under your feet from time to time, or you'll slip and fall on your backside.
"Yueluo, it's another time we're alone together. I didn't protect you well last time, but this time I will definitely protect you."
Since Zhongli Yueluo couldn't answer anyway, she just let him talk to himself.
"After your Fire Lotus Curse disappeared, my hands became warm and cozy. I wish I could hold your hand forever."
After saying that, he turned back and smiled. Finally, a blinding white light appeared before their eyes, and they arrived at an open space.
Five stone pillars stand in this open space, seemingly linked to attributes.
Upon reaching the front, a stone tablet displayed the method to pass the level.
It was still related to music, which should have been Zhongli Yueluo's forte, but all around was yellow soil and not a single leaf could be found.
He was still unable to use his natal Blood Flute and was anxious as he watched Chang Yu and Mu Ling gesturing with their hands.
"This does resemble the Five Elements Formation we learned in school."
Chang Yu Muling stroked her chin, then pulled something out from her waist. It looked like a small musical instrument.
Zhongli Yueluo couldn't explain what it was.
When he first took out the instrument, the pillars were glowing, but the rhythm of their movements was different.
This sounds like it means trying to play the same tune as him from memory.
The piece is divided into five parts, each more urgent and complex than the last.
It started with only three notes, but eventually fifteen were mentioned.
Chang Yu Muling stood there and tried to blow the whistle several times but failed each time. She originally thought there would be no punishment.
But during his sixth failure, a hidden arrow flew out from the stone pillar and grazed Zhongli Yueluo's face.
Zhongli Yueluo barely dodged, but the stray hairs fluttering around his face silently broke and fell to the ground.
It seems like they can't do without her, mainly because the attack buttons are all aimed at her, not at Chang Yu Muling.
"Yue Luo!"
Zhongli Yueluo shook her head, squatted down and wrote on the ground with her finger, but there was no loophole in this world.
I had only written two words when they were wiped out by the yellow sand.
Zhongli Yuelu clicked her tongue; this Earth Lord was far too meticulous.
It turns out she can only draw the pitch of audio, so it shouldn't be judged as written communication.
I tried it, and it works to draw only vertical and horizontal lines.
Fortunately, Changyu wasn't stupid. Following Zhong Liyue's instructions, he continued until the last cycle of the lunar calendar.
It was so fast and urgent that he almost couldn't keep up, and Zhongli Yueluo was also anxiously gesturing with her fingers beside him.
Success!
With a loud crash, all the stone pillars collapsed, and an altar rose up in their place.
The two looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.
What does this mean?
He reached out and pulled Zhongli Yueluo up, wiped the dust off her face, and patted her dress.
"It's dirty. Let's go back to the shop and pick out a new one for you, okay?"
Zhongli Yueluo nodded, and the two walked to the altar.
There was a clay humanoid figure lying on it. Chang Yu Muling made a hand seal and pointed at the clay figure's brow.
Surprisingly, the earthen man lying there opened his eyes, which glowed red, as if he had been activated, and a clay stick materialized in his hand.
Although the attack was somewhat childish, consisting of only horizontal thrusts and slashes, every move was aimed at the vital points.
Once you get hit, you'll either die or be crippled! Tu Jun is truly ruthless!
Meanwhile, Tsuchi-kun, sitting outside, was watching the two's performance through the illusion mirror, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.
There were even a few other guys standing nearby: "Oh, you still have the leisure for this?"
"It's just about controlling some natives to play with them and see just how far they can go."
Tu Jun moved his hand up and down, as if he were manipulating a marionette.
The people around them found it interesting and rushed forward, saying, "Come on, me! Let me play for a while!"
People really do become more childish as they get older.
Zhongli Yueluo felt a chill run down her spine. She suddenly stared at a certain spot in the sky, as if her gaze was meeting that of everyone else.
The people outside were also stunned; this little girl's intuition was too strong!
Chang Yu Muling kept her word this time, always protecting Zhong Li Yueluo behind her.
"Yueluo, move to the side."
With a loud bang, Chang Yu Muling gathered his magical power into his fist and punched the native between the eyebrows.
It was as if the world had frozen for a second.
The indigenous people subsequently disintegrated.
A core rolled out of it.
This should be considered as everyone letting them pass easily, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to pass so easily.
Chang Yu Muling picked up the core, held it up to her eyes and looked at it: "Is this what's controlling his movements?"
Zhongli Yueluo shook her head. She knew that the one controlling this native was definitely the Earth Lord from outside.
"Yueluo, I've thought it through."
Chang Yu Muling held the beads without looking at Zhong Li Yueluo, and spoke very seriously while looking at the sky.
She wanted to ask something, but no sound came out.
"I just want to like you, is that okay?" He smiled, a smile that was innocent and pure, but he could only stop at liking.
After he said that, the world was thrown into turmoil again, and another crack appeared in the ground.
