Chapter 196: Bad Temper
Without delay, Lu Heng led Li Po's group straight into the courtyard.
However, after Li Po and the Great Sage of Fu Feng entered, the two burly men from the Hanhai Department who had accompanied Li Po didn't enter the door. Instead, they stood on either side of the entrance and guarded the courtyard.
As the Mermaid Battle soldiers who also guarded the Wolf God watched in confusion, the two burly men directly glared back at them and cursed.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen muscular men before?"
Their aggressive attitude left the Mermaid Battle Soliders at a loss.
They are the backbone of the Mermaid Kingdom and any one of them, if placed outside, would already be a top cultivator with the ability to suppress a city or a region.
Now, with hundreds of soldiers gathered here, how dare these two strong men from the Li Tribe challenge them?
The Mermaid Battle Soldiers all held an unshakable expression, but the rampant qi and strength of these two strong men from the Li Tribe were far above them. Even within the Hanhai Department, they were among the top few.
Apart from these two strong men, there were also the priests of Hanhai Department, the tiger demon Great Sage of Fu Feng that had made a name for itself in the South Sea in recent years, and a mysterious and unfathomable Wolf God in the courtyard.
Remembering the instructions of the Chief Minister, the Mermaids didn't dare to provoke them, but silently averted their gaze.
Later, someone spread the news that the Hanhai Department priest had worshiped the Wolf God.
Outside the courtyard, the Mermaid Battle Soldiers were feeling depressed. Inside the courtyard, Lu Heng reunited with old friends, and both of their moods were elated.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Before you left in a hurry, you didn't have a chance to taste the Spring Jade Brew… Actually, I have some here, given to me by Miss Qian."
"This wine is already fragrant, but soaking it with the peach blossoms of my back mountain peach garden adds vitality, making it a healing elixir. After drinking a cask, Priest Li Ju has quickly recovered."
"Now that Priest Li Po has come, coincidentally I have also brought a pot of Spring Jade Brew. Although it's not as much as a cask, it can still aid in your recovery."
As Lu Heng spoke, Xiao Ai took out the pot of peach blossom brew and placed it on the stone table where the three of them reunited.
The moment the bottle stopper was opened, a refreshing aroma of wine floated out, and Li Po's eyes brightened up.
"Indeed, full of vitality!"
He laughed heartily and opened the vintage wine he brought, saying with a smile, "The Wolf God is kind, and Li Po is not being insincere, so I will accept this fine wine."
"Although the five-hundred-year-old wine I brought cannot cure wounds, its aroma and flavor is no less than the Spring Jade Wine. I invite the Wolf God and Brother Tiger to taste it. As for this miraculous healing wine, Li Po gratefully accepts it… Hahaha…"
Li Po's laughter was extremely hearty.
The Great Sage of Fu Feng, on the other hand, felt somewhat uneasy. Although Li Po had already introduced him to the Wolf God upon their arrival and the Wolf God had nodded his approval, the Great Sage of Fu Feng was still nervous.
Moreover, he had something even more important to ask when he came here.
The Great Sage of Fu Feng couldn't help but say, "Brother Li Po, my Sister Green…"
"Oh, right, almost forgot about that."
Li Po smacked his forehead, looked at Lu Heng and asked, "Do you know a female demon cultivator known for her exquisite beauty, wearing a green robe, and bearing a bamboo leaf mark between her eyebrows? She is the one who saved my Brother Fu Feng 300 years ago. Has the Wolf God ever met her?"
Li Po's inquiry left Lu Heng feeling somewhat amused and helpless.
"Exquisite beauty, green robe, and a bamboo leaf mark between her eyebrows… Those are such vague characteristics. Other than the bamboo leaf mark, I could find several female cultivators that fit that description just by walking down the street… Could you provide more detailed information?"
After Lu Heng finished speaking, Li Po turned his gaze towards the Great Sage of Fu Feng.
The Great Sage of Fu Feng waved his hand and a translucent figure of a woman in green appeared beside him.
Her beautiful eyes were both enchantingly seductive and exquisitely dignified, radiating an exceptional grace.
"This is my Sister Green, have you met Senior Wolf God?" the Great Sage of Fu Feng said.
The Great Sage of Fu Feng looked eager.
Lu Heng looked at the appearance of the woman in green in amazement and shook his head, saying "I have not seen any woman with such a face… but…"
Lu Heng furrowed his brow, seeming hesitant to speak further.
Upon seeing Lu Heng's hesitation, the Great Sage of Fu Feng quickly reassured him, "Senior Wolf God, what do you want to say?"
Lu Heng shook his head and said, "This matter is complicated and somewhat offensive…but if I must speak, although I don't recognize the appearance of that female cultivator, there is a familiar feeling between her eyebrows…similar to the demon I encountered several months ago."
Lu Heng's words made the Great Sage of Fu Feng's heart skip a beat.
He immediately thought of a certain possibility…
"A demon…" the Great Sage of Fu Feng's face changed slightly.
Priest Li Po beside them spoke, "Could you share with us your encounter with that demon, Wolf God?"
Lu Heng laughed helplessly and said, "The story is simple. It happened several months ago when I was staying in Fu Shan City…"
In the courtyard, Lu Heng didn't hide anything and narrated the encounter with the Green Hell Cave demon and Madame Green Bamboo's affairs that happened back in Fu Shan City.
However, he didn't mention the relationship between Madame Green Bamboo and the body he currently inhabited.
At present, except for Lu Heng, it is unlikely that even Madame Green Bamboo, who was involved, knows the relationship between Lu Heng and the original wolf demon.
Even if Madame Green Bamboo were to investigate Lu Heng's identity and hear that he came from Hanyu Mountain, she would not be able to compare Lu Heng, the famous Wolf God, with the wolf demon who was lured into the evil way by her in the past.
The difference between the two is simply too vast.
After Lu Heng finished speaking, Li Po looked at the Great Sage of Fu Feng beside him.
The Great Sage of Fu Feng today has a complex and conflicted complexion.
Obviously, after Lu Heng finished telling his story, he understood what was going on.
He also figured out why Sister Green disappeared after seeing the Wolf God… it was obviously out of fear!
After a moment of silence, the Great Sage of Fu Feng suddenly stood up, his face looking unpleasant.
"Senior Wolf God, Brother Li Po, please forgive me for temporarily taking my leave…"
The Great Sage of Fu Feng's expression was somewhat ferocious.
Seeing this, Lu Heng was curious and asked, "Where are you going?"
The man in the literary robe clenched his fists, his face full of anger, "I'm going to kill someone!"
Facing the Wolf God and Li Po, the Great Sage of Fu Feng had no concealment.
Li Po and the Wolf God glanced at each other, while Lu Heng remained silent. Li Po then spoke.
"But Sister Green is your lifesaver… Though she has saved your life, you want to kill her and she may die without peace."
Li Po's words didn't alleviate the Great Sage of Fu Feng's anger.
Instead, he became even more furious.
"I will repay the debt of gratitude for saving my life!"
The tiger demon in scholar's robes roared in anger, "Why are demon cultivators discriminated against in this world? Why is it that when we demon cultivators walk on the streets, people avoid us like we are stinky rats? It's because there are too many scumbags who willingly fall into depravity and cultivate evil ways!"
"As members of the demon cultivator clan, those who cannot resist temptation and tread the path of evil are betraying and tarnishing the reputation of all the demonic races in the world! Such scum, even if they were my life-saving benefactors, must die!"
"Had I known that my savior was a demonic creature like this in Feng, I would have rather died than suffer such humiliation!"
The Great Sage of Fu Feng's teeth grated loudly, his eyes bloodshot. "Now that she's come crashing through the door… I'll kill her, then kill myself! It'll save me from a lifetime of such humiliation!"
