PDLP Chapter 52 Look Behind You Quickly
Chapter 52 Look Behind You Quickly
Lu Changgeng appeared in the spring, looking like a man in black robes and with black hair.
However, the next moment his shoulders began to narrow, his bones began to make very faint crackling sounds, and a faint tension rose in his chest.
here we go again……
It seemed that if he revealed his physical form, he would still be affected by the Fragrant Cold Spring. Lu Changgeng immediately had a thought, and the demon infant's magic power surged around him, isolating the aura of the white light pearl, and then he returned to his original state.
Then he looked at the two demons, Long Ear and Yellow Hair, who were lying drunk and fast asleep on the ground. A giant hand formed from the water appeared and grabbed the two demons, pulling them into the spring.
Forced hot spring bath, activated!
In a short while, the two demons began to change their forms.
The originally thin body of the blond man swelled up slightly, his waist tightened inward, his chest bulged outward, and his pointed mouth shrank into a small oval face.
The long ears have also changed; the two long ears have shrunk to half a hand span in length, the fur has become fine and soft, and the originally rough hands and feet have become much thinner and whiter.
Lu Changgeng stroked his chin, scrutinizing the two newly-formed female demons with a purely academic gaze.
This spring seems to do more than just change the nature of those who bathe in it; it also has a great aesthetic appeal. These two individuals are probably considered above average in appearance within their own tribe.
However, he was definitely not interested. Most of these bodies were still in a demonic form, which he considered no different from a monster. Even a fan of Fu Rui probably wouldn't have any thoughts about them.
Seeing that the two demons had successfully changed their nature, he withdrew the light pearl, and the demon infant made a hand seal, replacing it with the true fire energy of the Cleansing Spring and injecting it into the stone depression.
The milky white spring water instantly transformed into a clear, steaming hot soup, which the two female demons then immersed in again.
The demon infant trembled slightly in its dantian, and the perception of the Cleansing Spring water spread out like a spider web, seeping into the depths of the two demons' meridians.
Before long, the cultivation techniques of the two demons were automatically fed back to Lu Changgeng.
Huang Mao's true form is a weasel spirit, and his cultivation method is the most basic and common of earth-elemental demons, the "Earth Devouring Yuan Technique".
Long-eared is a rabbit demon who cultivates the wood-based "Azure Vine Qi Cultivation Technique," making him stronger than Yellow-haired.
Neither of the two demons possessed high cultivation levels, so the amount of magical power they could provide in return was negligible.
After only three days of soaking, he had thoroughly investigated the two demons' backgrounds and even obtained some of their memories.
Huang Mao had been a lowly demon running errands in the Soft Bone Cave for hundreds of years. He knew a lot of things, but not much.
Long Ears is a distant cousin of the King of Soft Bone Cave. He usually does odd jobs such as patrolling the mountain and purchasing supplies. He is quite familiar with the King of Soft Bone Cave's daily life and the environment of Star Dou Mountain.
The guards' shifts at Rougu Cave, what the rabbit spirit in Rougu Cave liked to eat, and even the details of how she would go to Ape Demon Mountain every month on the fifteenth to offer the Ape Demon King newly brewed fruit wine and ask him to play cards, all flowed into Lu Changgeng's mind through the feedback from Zhuogou Spring.
When Lu Changgeng showed signs of waking up, he placed the fruit in front of their noses and let them take a deep breath before they fell back into a drunken stupor.
Three days had passed, and Lu Changgeng felt it was about time. He withdrew the spiritual power of the Cleansing Spring, and the spring water in the stone depression returned to normal.
Yellow Hair and Long Ears remained unconscious; the two demons had been reversed in their yin and yang states and reverted back to their original nature.
Lu Changgeng pondered for a moment, then his body began to change and twist, and in the blink of an eye he transformed into the appearance of a yellow-haired man with a pointed snout, erect ears, and a body covered in yellowish fur. Even the few tufts of yellow hair at the corner of his mouth were perfectly replicated.
He waved his hand, revealing a water mirror, twisted his waist, and began to mimic the yellow-haired man's manner of speaking: "Your Majesty, I am Yellow Hair."
Feeling that he had done nothing wrong, he stripped the real yellow-haired man's clothes clean and put them on.
Then they tied him up and placed a spirit fruit in front of his nose.
Let him stay drunk for now. Once the scent of the spiritual fruit has dissipated, he can wake up, and by then, I'll have finished my business. Lu Changgeng thought to himself.
He spared the demon's life, as the demon was not a particularly wicked person. As long as it did not affect him, he would leave it alive for the time being.
He then returned with only Long Ears to the mountain path where the two had fallen drunk.
When the long-eared man's snoring became less regular and he seemed to be sleeping more soundly, he pretended to wake up groggily and kicked the still-sleeping man.
Long-eared boy rubbed his eyes and woke up, feeling a little dizzy. He mumbled, rubbing his head, "How did I fall asleep? Where's the fruit seller?"
"I don't know either." Lu Changgeng, now with blond hair, looked equally bewildered, then his expression turned to shock. "Where are the spirit fruits? Where did those spirit fruits go?"
Long Ears was equally anxious. He sniffed and searched the surroundings several times. After confirming there was no fruit, he looked suspiciously at Yellow Hair.
"Yellow Hair, when did you wake up?"
Seeing the look in his eyes, the blond-haired man flew into a rage: "What do you mean? You suspect I stole the spirit fruit?"
"No...no, I was just asking."
"When I woke up, you were sleeping like a log, I couldn't wake you up at all, I had completely forgotten about the spirit fruit."
Long-eared one frowned, then suddenly slapped his forehead: "I remember now!"
Huang Mao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked疑惑地问道, "What did you remember?"
"I remember the fruit seller was smiling at me before I fainted. He didn't look like a good person at all!" Long Ears said thoughtfully.
"Really?" The blond-haired man felt a little relieved. He had thought that the man was still conscious when he was drunk. In that case, he would have to make his long ears disappear for a while.
"Yes! Quickly check what we've lost!" Long Ears immediately touched his entire body.
"We're completely broke, we don't have a single possession. What could we possibly lose?"
Long Ears nodded: "That's true."
Suddenly remembering something, he exclaimed, "That's not right!"
As he spoke, he reached behind him with both hands.
While touching him, he said to the blond-haired guy, "Blonde-haired guy, quickly check if your back is still tight."
Yellow Hair: "..."
Lu Changgeng felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind. What kind of person did they take him for?
Long-eared one breathed a sigh of relief after patting himself: "Mine's still tight, so it probably isn't interested in me. I've heard that quite a few demons around here are into homosexuality, and you could easily fall into their trap!"
"By the way, how are things on your end? Are you alright?"
The blond-haired guy had an urge to slap him to death, but he twitched his lips and said, "I'm fine."
Long-eared man was puzzled: "That shouldn't be the case. That fruit seller clearly had ill intentions. How could you be alright?"
The blond-haired man roared, "What do you mean, 'How could I be alright?' You're alright, so how could I be alright?"
"Then what do you think the fruit seller is after?"
"Maybe they were trying to rob us? They realized there wasn't much to gain, so they left?"
"Hmm...maybe so." Long-eared man thought about it and agreed. "By the way, how long have we been lying here? Our backs and waists are aching."
"I don't know then. Why don't we just go back to Star Dou Mountain? Shouldn't we report the situation to the King?" Huang Mao replied.
Lu Changgeng just wanted to get to the Soft Bone Cave as soon as possible, and didn't want to dawdle with Chang Er here. How come he hadn't noticed how fussy Chang Er was before?
I should have thrown the long-eared creature into the hole.
"But we haven't found that wild path yet, and if we go back, we'll most likely be hanged." Long Ears didn't really want to go back.
