39. Red.

Chu Ming carefully memorized all of the information on the Divine Wall. This would be of great help to him after he passed the sutra.

The two of them had dinner late, so they packed a bag and took it back with them.

Returning to the inn, he went upstairs and found Mu Shan still asleep. Chu Ming went up and shook him, saying, "Brat, wake up!"

After shaking his head a few times, Mu Shan finally opened his eyes. He let out a sigh and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Bailing smiled. "Do you need to sleep for twenty hours a day?"

Mu Shan scratched his head and looked around. "Immortal sister, where are we?"

Xue Bailing said, "You've been sleeping at an inn for who knows how long."

Chu Ming stood up and said, "What's going on, aren't you too good at sleeping?"

Mu Shan was puzzled. "Am I really good at sleeping?"

Xue Bailing and Chu Ming nodded.

Mu Shan looked at the golden bird in the distance and pointed with his finger. "That bird can sleep more than I can. I've never seen it wake up before!"

Chu Ming laughed, "Good little brat, you actually compare yourself to a bird?"

Mu Shan scratched his head. "Why not?"

Chu Ming said, "That bird is growing up. It's relatively strange, so it's necessary to rest during this period of time."

Mu Shan said with a laugh, "I'm also growing up. Sleep is also a must."

Xue Bailing snorted with laughter and said, "Mountains are small and small, but the way you talk is as unreasonable as your brother was when he was young."

Chu Yu understood what Xue Bailing meant, and said, "You're lying. I've never been as unreasonable as him."

Xue Bailing pinched Chu Ming's nose and laughed, "How shameless of you to say no, your skin is so thick!"

Mu Shan, who was watching from the side, also laughed out loud.

Chu Ming broke free from Xue Bailing's' demonic claws', took a step back and said, "Mountain, look, your elder sister goddess is a very unreasonable person!"

Xue Bailing looked at Mu Shan, who smiled and turned to Chu Ming, "No need, big sister treats me the best."

Xue Bailing was extremely happy when he heard this. He took the food that he had packed and handed it to Mu Shan. He smiled and said, "Little Shan, good girl. I've brought you something to eat." Then, he opened the box outside, and the fragrance immediately assaulted his nose.

As soon as Mu Shan heard this, his stomach rumbled. He hurriedly took it and started to gobble down the food in large mouthfuls.

When Chu Ming saw this, he laughed, "Stinking brat is so easily lured. When he grows up, he must be a pervert!"

Mu Shan ignored him and continued to eat.

Xue Bailing said from the side, "Slow down. Don't choke."

The sky outside was getting darker. When it was the sea time, it was already dusk. The night was getting dark, and most of the pedestrians had stopped moving. It was also getting cold outside. There were no longer any random sounds like during the day, causing people to feel less troubled and more quiet.

Xue Bailing returned to his room next door alone, having always gone to rest.

Chu Ming also took care of Gold, but Gold was always in a "fake death" state. He didn't eat nor drink, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Every year, there would be a period of fake death that lasted about a month. After the fake death state, the gold would seem to have evolved, growing bigger, becoming more lively, flying faster, and growing larger as well. Perhaps this was the way the gold grew, but to Chu Ming, gold was a sacred existence, in fact, gold was the divine beast 'Golden Winged Kun Peng'.

Chu Ming placed the gold in a large basket that resembled a bird's nest. Fortunately, the gold would shrink his size, otherwise, Chu Ming would have to drag a bird the size of a cow or a horse along the road every day.

He also remembered clearly that when he had first met Jin Fangshuang, he had cried for a long time and even lost consciousness for a few days due to grief. Afterwards, he had even almost buried Jin alive, luckily, Jin was' revived 'at the end, otherwise he would have really been buried by Chu Ming.

After Mu Shan finished his meal, he fell into bed like a pig and continued to wail and sleep. This made Chu Ming very puzzled, thinking that he wasn't able to sleep all day long when he was so young.

Chu Ming threw himself onto the bed, turned off the fire, and laid down on the bed. Seeing the moonlight shining in through the window, he couldn't help but think of Lu Zeng, which made his heart very sad. He had been watching them all this time, but he wasn't sleepy even at midnight. At this moment, he was extremely jealous of Mu Shan's ability to sleep at any given moment. He sighed, crossed his legs, and continued to gaze at the moonlight.

His eyes were so red that he couldn't sleep anymore. He reckoned that this was already an ugly time, and even after the third fragment of the night had passed, Chu Ming was still in high spirits. He wondered if he had seen the Dragon Lord River ranking on the Divine Wall and felt excited? He sighed and crawled out of bed.

At this moment, a shout came from next door, causing Chu Ming to jump in shock. He lifted up the Four Arts and went straight into Xue Bailing's room.

He opened his eyes and wanted to rush over to take a look, but Chu Ming suddenly kicked the door open and saw him in his pajamas. He was shocked and quickly put on his jacket and rushed over to grab Chu Ming's ear, saying, "Little pervert, what are you doing in my room so late in the night!"

Chu Ming had originally thought that the voice was coming from Xue Bailing's room, but upon closer inspection, he realized that Xue Bailing was the only person who had seen such a captivating scene. His face turned red at the sight, and only when Xue Bailing tugged at his ear did he come back to his senses and explain, "Don't pull, it hurts!"

Xue Bailing blushed. "Little pervert, what do you mean by walking in through the door?"

Chu Ming quickly explained, "Listen to me, I just heard a shout from next door, so I thought it was you!"

Xue Bailing started. "I heard it too. If it wasn't your side, could it be mine?"

Chu Ming quickly nodded, "That's possible, let's go take a look!"

Xue Bailing smiled and said, "Follow me!" Then he grabbed Chu Ming and headed towards another room.

The two of them kicked the door open. Upon entering the room, they saw a female corpse. There were bloodstains all over her body. It seemed as though her neck had been bitten through.

Chu Ming immediately raised his sword and stood in front of Xue Bailing, saying seriously, "Stand back, be careful."

Xue Bailing felt a sweetness in her heart when she saw him so protective of her, but she refused to forgive him. "Who asked a little pervert like you to protect me? Go aside and let me see how that woman is doing!" Then he walked around Chu Ming, came up to the corpse, and looked around.

Chu Ming quickly asked, "How is it?!"

Xue Bailing shook his head. "No."

Chu Ming clenched his teeth and said, "From the looks of it, I estimate that this is the man in black from that day in the village!"

Xue Bailing nodded. "I guess so."

Just as he finished speaking, more shouts came from outside. The two of them were shocked and hurriedly left the house. Looking down, they saw a few more corpses with bloodstains on them.

Xue Bailing felt a chill run down his spine, and he hugged himself tightly.

When Chu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but burn with anger as he roared, "Evil creature, hurry and get the hell out!"

There was no response.

Chu Ming mustered up his strength and shouted again, "Evil creature, hurry and come out!"

Still no response.

Xue Bailing suddenly said, "Not good, Mu Shan!"

Chu Ming also reacted and quickly ran into his room. Coincidentally, the man in black was preparing to kill him. Without a second word, Chu Ming kicked off his feet, unsheathed his sword and swung it at his waist.

That black-clothed man immediately jumped high into the air. Chu Ming did not give him a chance, with a twist of his hand, he hung himself on the air, then charged straight at him. The black-clothed man reacted quickly, catching Chu Ming's four techniques with his bare hands, then using the momentum to jump out of the window.

Seeing this, Chu Ming chased after him with his sword. Xue Bailing was worried something would happen to Chu Ming, so she chased after him.
