Devour

Chapter 351 Poetry

Ningxiang continued, "Golden Lotus Dragon Head went to the city's Ranger Association branch to look for acquaintances. I didn't want her to know the destination, and I was thinking about Ah Huang, so I came here quietly."

Cheng Bai pondered and said, "The Ranger Association has branches all over the five continents?"

Ningxiang nodded and said, "Yes! The Golden Lotus Dragon Head is very powerful. It's too polite to say that you admire me. I should be the one who admires her! I heard that she has an impeccable body and is known as the first genius of the Ranger Association in ten thousand years. She is young and shoulders the important task of leading the Association. As a result, various sects and schools have passed the position of Saint Master to the young generation, forming a century of vigorous and prosperous scene."

Cheng Bai said with great anticipation: "An outstanding person stands out from the crowd, so it is only right that we pay him a visit. How about preparing some gifts and going to visit the Ranger Association branch together tomorrow?"

Ningxiang tilted her pretty face slightly, squinted at him and said with contempt: "Would you be so proactive if you didn't have any strange thoughts? Your real intention is not to go to the bar!"

Cheng Bai sighed in his heart: "The one who understands me best is Ning Xiang." He stammered in defense: "How could that be? You and I are both hunters, and visiting fellow hunters is a natural thing to do."

Ningxiang smiled and agreed, "I also want to see what the differences are between them and the Qiongqi Continent Guild."

Cheng Bai skillfully brewed the ginseng tea and said with a smile, "It just so happens that an acquaintance introduced me. It's in accordance with etiquette! Come, try the good tea."

Ningxiang snatched the cup in front of Chengbai, tasted it carefully and praised: "It is brewed with the best wild golden ginseng, and it tastes a little sweet."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "I've already drunk that cup of tea. I'll pour you a new cup."

Ningxiang giggled and said, "I want this cup. It will nourish my body and I will take good care of you tonight."

Cheng Bai was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly rejoiced: "I will have a good sleep tonight."

……

Dreams are like a vast, colorful and mysterious painting, quietly connecting reality and ideals, and communicating endless unknown mysteries.

Cheng Bai looked up at the magnificent beauty between heaven and earth and felt awe.

Before your eyes stands a fairy palace made of familiar materials and style. It is vivid and yet illusory and blurry, as if it is traveling through the cracks of time, witnessing the reincarnation and changes of all things, quietly waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

"This... could this be... the real White Lotus Mansion!" Cheng Bai stared at the dreamlike wonderland, and after a moment he suddenly realized, "No wonder the place is so empty. Apart from the scattered pavilions and towers in the corners, there is no main building at all. It turns out that the White Lotus Mansion is hidden deep in the dream... No, to be precise, it was sealed in a high-dimensional space by a powerful person!"

Now that I have the chance to see it, how can I return empty-handed?

Cheng Bai strode towards the Bailian Mansion in the depths. He stopped in shock after taking a few steps. "I walk more than a hundred meters with one step, but the distance between me and it doesn't shorten. I can't get any closer! In addition to entering the dream, I need to meet special conditions. Is it because my cultivation is not deep enough to break through the space barrier?"

Just as Cheng Bai was immersed in thought, a faint voice of a man singing came from the fairy palace, like the sound of nature echoing in his ears.

"We go to Hainan hand in hand, missing each other and hating the separation. We will meet under the bright moon, but the future will be empty fire."

Xunwei seems to be a sad love poem full of deep affection, melodious and graceful like a clear spring flowing into the heart, intoxicating.

Cheng Bai listened attentively, memorizing every word and pondering it over and over again, muttering to himself: "Should we go to the South China Sea to look for relevant clues?"

The Fairy Palace did not respond to the question, and the chanting and whispering were like clouds blown away by the wind, gradually disappearing into silence.

"Hehe! This dreamland puzzle is a bit difficult. There must be priceless treasures hidden inside."

Just as he finished thinking, Cheng Bai suddenly woke up from his dream and opened his eyes, his thoughts returning to the Zhenwu stone bed in the bridge of the Xuanren Feijia ship.

The woman beside him was looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, her red lips trembling slightly, and she asked tenderly, "What were you mumbling just now?"

"What did I say?" Cheng Bai turned his head and tried to recall every detail of his dream. He thought, "It is easy to forget what you see and hear in a dream, but I must remember these lines of poetry well."

Ningxiang snorted and said angrily, "Who did you say you were going to take to Hainan to watch the moon? Are you secretly having another lover behind my back?"

Cheng Bai was shocked and said, "Ah? How is that possible! There is no lover. You just have distracting thoughts in your mind. Your mind is not transcendent enough. You have such delusions because you are not at the right level."

Ningxiang's eyes flickered, and she said angrily, "I clearly heard you say the words 'leaving Hainan' and 'the moon is bright', which were full of obscene words and vulgar tunes."

Cheng Bai hurriedly explained: "It's not that I used vulgar words, it's that you have an immoral mind and you heard it wrongly in your dream. Besides... even if I really want to enjoy the moon, I should take you to a romantic event."

Ningxiang pouted and said unyieldingly: "Humph! I have never been touched by other men. If you marry another woman, I will... I will..."

She stammered, unable to think of a strong enough threat, and simply said, "... just cut your hair and be a man!"

Cheng Bai shuddered all over, and begged with a smile: "Don't say that! You're really going to scare the baby to death."

Ningxiang stretched out her slender fingertips to touch his nose and said angrily, "You are still a baby! Look at your female apprentice and female elder, each one is prettier than the other, and looks like a demon. Don't have any evil ideas in the future."

Cheng Bai said seriously, "Don't worry, baby! Most of my disciples are men. As the saying goes, men and women working together are not tiring. It's just a normal and reasonable phenomenon."

It took a long time to coax her into calming down, and a new day began in this sweet and sour land of tenderness.

……

The buildings of the Ranger Association branch in Yinsheng City are majestic and bright, the facades and halls are luxurious and impressive, the stone slabs on the ground are as smooth as mirrors, and the huge stone pillars are carved with exquisite patterns.

The guild taverns were filled with the aroma of tea and wine, and anecdotes from all over the world were blown away by the wind. The self-proclaimed heroes sat down comfortably, enjoying delicious food and fine wine, talking and laughing loudly, and discussing their livelihoods over the clinking of glasses.

Cheng Bai looked at the scene with a familiar atmosphere, thinking back to the glorious past, feeling filled with emotion.

"It's relatively easy to be the number one in the Qiongqi Continent, which is equivalent to a small novice village. It's completely different in the Five Continents. Every inch of land is full of dangers and challenges. The leader of the guild is a well-known Nirvana Earth Immortal, a demon-like peerless genius."

Of course, you can't miss the governor if you want to get news.

The facilities of the Ranger Club were more complete, and a kind-looking old man sat at the governor's counter, where novices could consult about the details of various missions and anecdotes. However, the hunters who came and went were usually experienced and sophisticated, and few of them went out of their way to bother them.

"Excuse me, sir. We would like to learn about the local customs and meet a friend..." Cheng Bai and Ningxiang walked forward and chatted for a few minutes to explain their purpose.

"Please follow me, both of you." As usual, the governor stood up and greeted them, leading the way.

Walking along the way, Cheng Bai's sharp eyes swept across the packed hall and unexpectedly discovered a familiar figure.

The man was eight feet four inches tall, his skin was the same dark blue as before, and his hooded battle robe concealed his very different face. From time to time, several slender tentacles extended from the lower half of his face, swaying with a slight rustling sound.

"Is it the Faceless Commander? Has the Faceless Army also fled to Wuzhou?" Cheng Bai concentrated his Phoenix power and stretched his ears to capture the content of the conversation.

Compared to the arrogance and domineering attitude when they met unexpectedly in the Faceless Rift, the Faceless Leader now appears to be extremely humble and cautious, bowing to the hunters present.

A swordsman in white sitting opposite him said, "This matter is very difficult, and we need to travel to many places in the outer realm. It's not that we are unwilling to help, but we are powerless. Brother Mi Jiujin, please ask for help from someone else!"

The faceless leader hurriedly raised his glass to toast, his facial tentacles trembling slightly as he reached into the glass to suck the wine to hide his embarrassment, making a slurping sound as he secretly urged his assistant.

A person beside him seemed to be a translator. After receiving the instruction, he chimed in: "Brother Mi said that his clan is willing to double the reward."

The white-robed swordsman was unmoved and firmly waved his hand to refuse: "It's no use paying more. Others may not know the inside story, but I just happen to know a little bit. They encountered Pang Mo, whose origin is no less than some ancient dangerous places, and they must not be provoked!"

The Faceless Leader entertained them warmly and kept urging them to drink in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere.

The swordsman in white got up from his seat and said apologetically, "I am not well-trained in martial arts, and it will be useless for me to talk too much here. I will take my leave first!" After saying that, he walked away.

Everyone at the table became indifferent upon seeing this, and one after another bowed and left after saying polite words.
