Chapter 178: The Person the Wolf God Missed

In the courtyard, Wu Ergong respectfully bowed to Lu Heng, and then sat back down.

Then the purpose of this visit was discussed.

"Umm... Cough... In my excitement just now, I almost forgot the important matter."

Wu Ergong tapped his black head and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, saying, "It is an important matter that I need to tell the Wolf God."

Wu Ergong said, "The Wolf God, are you searching for Wu Gu of the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain?"

The question left Lu Heng somewhat astonished.

"How do you know?"

He didn't tell Luo Yujun about this, did he?

Facing Lu Heng's surprise, Wu Ergong smiled and said.

"This matter was actually spread by that Wu Gu herself."

He said, "Not long after Luo Yuzun spread the news of you throughout the South Sea, the ten Witches of Ling Mountain also shared the news that if you wanted to find her, you should search at Fan Jie mountain. She will wait at Fan Jie mountain for you until the Treasure Conference of the Mermaid Kingdom ends."

Wu Ergong smiled as he explained the situation, but after clarifying it, Lu Heng was even more astonished.

So Wu Gu knew Lu Heng was looking for her?

She also actively spread messages outward.

It seems that after they left Youtian Valley, the human-face owl told Wu Gu the news...

Lu Heng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand now."

After delivering the message, Wu Ergong didn't linger too long. After Lu Feng rejected his invitation to visit the country, he quickly departed.

In fact, if it were not for the news that Wu Gu had to convey, Wu Ergong would not have come to disturb Lu Heng's peace.

These ancient monsters are of strange temper. If you rashly intruded on him, it's likely to provoke him and incur enmity.

Wu Ergong was content with the current situation, so he quickly left.

In the courtyard, after Lu Heng sent Wu Ergong away, he no longer continued to look through the secret books. He could feel that Huo Feng in the room was about to wake up.

Sure enough, not long after Wu Ergong left, at noon there was a commotion in Huo Feng's room.

The young man of the Yun sect, who had been sleeping for three days and three nights, finally dragged his tired body out. Huo Feng was a little embarrassed when he saw the wolf god smiling to meet him outside the door.

But what was more embarrassing was that he had not woken up for three days, and now he was holding in a stomach full of feces and urine. After hastily greeting Lu Heng and Xiao Ai, Huo Feng quickly ran off to the outhouse.

After a long time, Huo Feng, exhausted and weak, stepped out gently and saw that the dishes had already been arranged in the yard.

Lu Heng knew that Huo Feng had been asleep for three days and must be hungry, so he calculated the time Huo Feng would wake up and asked the post station to prepare food in advance.

At the dinner table, Lu Heng smiled and said, "Let's eat first, and talk afterwards."

Hungry Huo Feng was nodding his head, and with both hands he started to wolf down his food.

The experience at Evil Sword Valley left him with a deep psychological shadow regarding hunger. Now, after waking up from a three-day-long sleep and feeling incredibly hungry, upon seeing a table full of delicious food, he just wanted to wolf it all down.

After travelling with Lu Heng for so long, he is no longer bound by convention.

As for Lu Heng and Xiao Ai, they both watched him eat without touching their chopsticks.

Halfway through their meal, Huo Feng was curious and politely asked Wolf God to join him for dinner.

However, Lu Heng smiled and refused.

Neither he nor Xiao Ai can accept the food tastes of this Fire Hating Country.

Lu Heng was suspicious that if Huo Feng hadn't been so hungry before, perhaps he wouldn't be able to tolerate the flavor of the Fire Hating Country.

Even Gu Yan resisted the food from the Fire Hating Country.

The smell of food here really gives them a sense of poison...

On the second morning, Lu Heng left the post house and went straight south.

After knowing the location of Wu Gu, Lu Heng decided to go directly to Fan Jie mountain.

According to Huo Feng, Fan Jie mountain is the core way to enter the Mermaid Kingdom.

Unlike other countries in the South Sea, the Mermaid Kingdom is located in the most marginal area of the South Sea, and its territory is not on land, but under water.

It is a kingdom in the water.

Although the people of the Mermaid Kingdom can also live on land, they prefer water.

On the waves, Xiao Ai seemed to be deep in thought while Lu Heng helplessly smiled.

He said, "Brother Huo, your experience is quite like the protagonist of a story... Ha..."

Lu Heng shook his head, then said with a serious expression, "But Brother Huo, you told us the story, are you worried about how to face Miss Caiyi in the future?"

"Well...well...to be honest, yes."

Huo Feng had a mournful look on his face, "Originally, I was in fear and awe of Miss Caiyi. I was afraid of the name Demon Woman, but also feared that Miss Caiyi would take me to be her 'cultivation cauldron'."

"She seems to look at me differently, but as a junior I was worried that it was just a means of bewitching my heart, so I was extremely cautious."

"The experience in the valley, I found out...Ah..."

Faced with Lu Heng and Xiao Ai, Huo Feng was at a loss for words.

Now that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to express his misery and said, "I only found out after we did... that... to my surprise, Miss Caiyi was still a virgin..."

Huo Feng looked unhappy as he said, "I thought she was used to men and women cultivating together, so when she made her request, I felt only disgust and resistance, but I couldn't refuse when it was a matter of life and death."

"But now I think it was too rash..."

"I misunderstood Miss Caiyi, I feel too embarrassed now."

Huo Feng said with a faint smile, "Now my heart is full of unease..."

Huo Feng's frank words made Lu Heng nod in approval, indicating understanding.

"I see. But did Brother Hu think of another possibility?" Lu Heng said with a smile, "Why are you so sure that Miss Caiyi was still a virgin? Could it be because she used some kind of illusion to cheat on you?"

Lu Heng's words, spoken with a smile, delivered a massive blow to Huo Feng.

Huo Feng was completely baffled.

"Ah?!"

He widened his eyes in shock with a look of disbelief on his face.

Seeing his bewildered look, Lu Heng smiled and said.

"Of course, it is also possible that it is real instead of an illusion. Though Miss Caiyi is not bound by convention, she is not coquettish."

"Maybe Miss Caiyi is a remarkable woman who rises above the mud and stays pure, washing away all dirt without becoming adulterated?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "In any case, don't be blinded by prejudice. If you want to know the real truth, you have to go and see for yourself."

"What you see with your eyes may not be the truth. But what you cannot see with your eyes for certain is definitely not the truth... Without investigation, you have no right to speak."

Lu Heng said something with a smile, which made Xiao Ai nod repeatedly.

"Mm, the Wolf Lord is right," the silver-haired girl chimed in.

Lu Heng chuckled and patted her head, knowing she was thinking again about things in the mountain.

"In short, Brother Huo, if you have any worries, he should go to Luan Xing Ge after this is over."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Caiyi knows me, so even if she really is the Demon Woman who brings chaos to the world, she will surely show me some face and not really drain you [Of your life force]."

"If you ignore it, you may miss it, and you may regret it forever."

Lu Heng smiled as he explained the situation to Huo Feng.

Huo Feng nodded again and again, indicating that he understood.

Xiao Ai was hesitant and asked cautiously.

"The Wolf God, do you... also have someone you missed?"

The little girl's sudden question made Lu Heng pause.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then sighed heavily before he smiled helplessly.

"Yes... We can never meet again."

When he was terminally ill with no way out, his parents, who had been taking care of him and nurturing him without abandon, were the biggest concerns in his heart.

But his death perhaps is also a kind of relief for his parents too?

On the crest of the waves, Lu Heng sighed with a mixture of sadness and relief, and Huo Feng looked as if he understood something.

I know it! The Wolf God must have had some lovers in ancient times!

The silver-haired girl with animal ears lowered her head, tightening her little fist, her expression serious.

The Wolf God once missed a very important person... But she will never let the Wolf God miss anyone ever again!

Xiao Ai will always be by the side of the Wolf God!
