Although the sky had darkened not long ago, there were still not many people walking around in the city. The stall vendors had already returned to their homes.

Ding Hong and Wu Yu arrived at a tavern that was the best in the town. A clever waiter ran out to meet them. He was able to tell at a glance that they were in a sorry state, but he didn't seem to care and smiled: "Two guests, do you want to stay in the inn?"

Ding Hong nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly recalled something. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the white horse, only to see that it was covered with grey. Not to mention white, even grey looked a little different. All this was fine, but the question was how should he arrange it?

When Wu Yu saw his gaze, he knew what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter even if it sleeps wherever it sleeps."

When the white horse heard this, it immediately whinnied unwillingly.

Seeing the appearance of the white horse, he thought for a moment, then said to the waiter, "Bring us room two, and buy us some clothes as well. "Find someone to wash the horse and arrange a clean place." As he spoke, he reached into his clothes to take out some silver.

Unexpectedly, his heart thumped the moment he put it in. His clothes were empty, how could he have any silver left? After so many days of suffering, the few dozen taels of silver that he had taken from the youth surnamed Yuan had long been thrown away to god knows where.

When the waiter heard those words, he beamed with joy and could not even close his mouth. But then, seeing that he couldn't get his hands out of his clothes for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and was about to say that the store's small business was not going to be on credit. Wu Yu suddenly flipped his hand and took out a huge pearl, placing it in front of the waiter. "Do as he says, but I want the best house!" And bring us some food and two buckets of hot water. "

The moment the waiter saw the pearl, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Quickly after, he quickly bowed his head and bowed as he turned his head back and shouted, "Two Sky Room!"

He turned around and said with a smile, "Two esteemed guests, we have a private room for the horses to rest. I don't know if the two esteemed guests …"

Ding Hong waved his hand to cover the embarrassment on his face. He hated the little monster beside him for not taking it out earlier. He shouted, "I'm taking it."

If I don't use your money, I won't be surnamed Ding!

Afterwards, the two entered the inn and went to their respective rooms. This inn was not bad, and there was even a large hall in the Sky Room.

Sitting on the stool, Ding Hong let out a rare sigh of relief. He had been working hard these past few days, and the changes in the world had left him a little exhausted. Now that he could finally sit down and rest, he felt a sense of relaxation he had never felt before.

After a while, someone brought a bucket of hot water and a set of fine red silk clothes.

After taking a comfortable bath and changing his clothes, Ding Hong felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. He even felt as if he was back at Ding Residence. He stretched out his hand and opened his mouth. How comfortable.

The window of the room was open and closer to the table. Candles were burning on the table and the flames were swaying in the wind. The faint yellow shadow in the surroundings was also swaying in the wind.

When he looked outside, he could see that there was a very large courtyard behind the inn. The courtyard was surrounded by an inn, square and square. The sky was dark and gloomy.

Maybe it's going to rain.

This thought didn't last long before he heard a few loud rumbles of thunder coming from outside. The torrential downpour fell down in an earth-shattering manner.

Ding Hong had always thought that when it rained, the air was the best because the dust in the surrounding air had been completely washed away by the rain. The air was no longer filled with a jumbled smell, but was filled with the fragrance of earth and trees.

It was a very natural taste.

He smiled and said, "Why are you here so late at night?"

Wu Yu snorted and ignored him. He went straight to the table and sat down. He held his head and looked out at the rain.

He shook his head helplessly and was about to close the door when he saw the waiter bringing in more food. He couldn't help but say, "The food next door should also be delivered here."

The waiter received their benefits and quickly nodded his head with a smile. After placing the items in Ding Hong's room, he left.

Ding Hong ate a few mouthfuls and felt quite satisfied. When he saw Wu Yu propping himself up with his head to look out at the rain, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm?" Wu Yu came back to his senses. With a listless appearance, he said, "I suddenly feel a little homesick."

Seeing her like this, Ding Hong couldn't help but say, "I'll send you back. Anyway, I'm alone now, so there's nothing to worry about."

Wu Yu looked at him. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth rose as he loudly laughed. "You were the one who said that just now!" "You are not allowed to go back on your word. You have to go back on your word and become a pig in your next life!"

"What?" Seeing how happy she suddenly became, the food in her throat almost choked her. After half a day of effort, he managed to swallow it down and coughed a few times.

When Wu Yu saw him like that, he hastily went over and patted him on the back. "Are you alright?" he asked worriedly.

She waved her hand to show that she was fine before returning to her seat. Ding Hong gasped for breath. Suddenly, he thought of that pearl and could not help but ask, "Where did you get that pearl from?"

Wu Yu mysteriously smiled and replied, "Secret."

He rolled his eyes at Wu Yu and focused on eating to replenish his empty stomach.

After a while, the wind outside suddenly grew stronger, and in an instant, it started to howl as the windows were slammed into disarray. The rainwater unconsciously flew in from outside and landed on Ding Hong and Wu Yu's bodies. The candle was blown out.

When Ding Hong saw how big the wind had become, he was ready to close the window. Wu Yu suddenly cried out in alarm. His heart skipped a beat. Just as he wanted to turn back and see what was going on, Wu Yu hastily rebuked, "You're not allowed to look!"

Hearing the sound, Ding Hong did not stop moving because of these three words. It was because her voice was stunned.

How was this the voice of a eleven or twelve-year-old girl? It was clearly a young girl's voice. However, thinking about how she had some secrets, he decided not to go back and check on her. But at this time, he heard another "pa" sound. It seemed to be the sound of someone falling down.

Thinking that it would be bad if anything happened to him, he hurriedly turned around to take a look.

Upon seeing it, Ding Hong could not help but be stunned.

There was no sign of Wu Yu. There was only a beautiful young girl, but her feet were slowly transforming into a huge fish tail. At this moment, the girl was using both hands to hold down her constantly changing legs. Her face was filled with anxiety. Suddenly, she felt something. She turned around and saw Ding Hong staring at her.

She suddenly remembered that her father and mother had said that the other demons and humans all thought that the merfolk were demi-humans, lowly races. They were neither human nor human, and they would be bullied wherever they went. He felt wronged, thinking that if he found out that Ye Xiao was a mermaid, he would look down on him in the future. Unable to hold it in, he cried out loud. This cry was like a rain of tears. Sparkling tears uncontrollably flowed out of his eyes. However, the moment those tears streaked across his face, they congealed into pearls!

Ding Hong came back to his senses and finally understood why she didn't wash her face in front of him that day.

To be honest, Ding Hong did not have any other contempt towards this kind of strange race.

Seeing Wu Yu's appearance, she knew that she couldn't move and sighed. When he came to her side, he did not avoid the feeling of being a man and a woman and picked her up. At first, Wu Yu still cried as he struggled for a bit, but in the end, he stopped crying as his head was filled with sobs.

Ding Hong carried her onto the bed and laughed, "What's there to cry about? It's not like I'm saying anything bad about you. "I'm outside in the hall. If there's anything, just call me." With that, he left for the place where he had been sitting.

Wu Yu looked at his shadow with a choked voice as a light flickered in his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

After arriving in the hall, Ding Hong did not light the candles or close the windows. He let the cold wind blow against him as he sat in the darkness. After all, to be able to feel this kind of cool breeze on a hot summer's day was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought.

Looking at the scenery outside, he could not help but be lost in thought.

He recalled the recent events, such as the previous Qi Qi, Shadowless Tower, Ding Tiancheng, Fuxi Handbone, Blood Fou Talisman, and so on. Everything was like a mysterious dream.

But he was the protagonist of this dream.

Young people should all be like this. Sometimes ambitious, sometimes rainy. Perhaps he would be able to walk through the mortal world without a qualm of guilt if he continued walking down this path.

It was precisely the young Lou that listened to the wind and rain, and the youth that kept it in his heart.

Time passed by very quickly. After a very long time, Ding Hong sunk into a deep sleep, holding his head up and falling asleep.

Wu Yu suddenly walked out from behind the curtain, reverting back to his adorable and charming appearance. She came to Ding Hong's side and lightly draped a set of clothes over him. Then, she sat opposite him and looked at him.

Looking at his appearance, he could not help but frown. He was already wet in many places. He went to the window and closed it. Then, he returned to his seat and fell asleep on his stomach as well.

The wind and rain outside continued to blow, occasionally passing through the clouds, causing the ground to flash, and the rumbling sounds to travel far away.

Just like this, the two of them fell asleep in this hall.

The next day, dawn.

The morning weather was good, the sun bright. When Wu Yu woke up, his eyes were somewhat dazzling. After that, he discovered that he was actually still wearing his clothes and was sleeping on the bed. She got up and went into the hall, but she did not see Ding Hong.

The rain of the previous night had stopped falling during the day. The outside world seemed to have been washed away by water, fresh and beautiful. It was as if all things were emitting an enchanting light.

She went out of the room and found Ding Hong sitting alone in the hall, his thoughts unknown. Wu Yu was a little hesitant in his heart. As he thought about what had happened last night, he felt a little uninterested.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and walked towards Ding Hong. Ding Hong was sitting in the main hall of the inn, looking at the people coming and going in the morning. An inexplicable feeling of laziness made him feel extremely comfortable. This kind of ordinary and pleasant life was the best for him.

If he were to cultivate the Dao of immortality, wouldn't he be leading such a life?

But why was it that until now, he had not seen many truly free and unfettered people. Hm? That Half Immortal might be one, but he didn't know which sect or sect he came from.

"Hey, why are you up so early?" Wu Yu suddenly came to his table and sat down.

Looking back at her, Ding Hong said with a smile, "Eldest Miss, it's already so late to wake up. Do you know how long I've been sitting here? "

Wu Yu's face was flushed, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing her expression, he naturally knew that it was yesterday. He smiled and said, "I don't care, what do you care? By the way, let's eat something and get going. This place is pretty close to Ji Mo County, and there's even a cargo ship there, I can take you home! "

Wu Yu heard his words and just nodded without saying anything. She didn't know why, but when she heard that Ding Hong was going to send her home, she felt a sense of loss.

Ding Hong raised his head and said to the counter, "Shopkeeper, have some food."

The shopkeeper hurriedly raised his head and said, "Alright! Little Wu quickly ordered some food for the guests. If you're a bit slow, be careful, I'll deduct your wages! "

Hearing that, the waiter hurriedly ran to the kitchen at the back and placed two bowls of porridge and two basins of steamed buns on the table where Ding Hong was sitting. He smiled and said, "Sir, please enjoy your meal."

Ding Hong smiled and nodded, saying, "Your boss is really harsh."

When the waiter heard this, he felt the same way and waggled his eyebrows in agreement but didn't dare to say anything. The shopkeeper called him again, causing him to run away in fright.

Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat, Wu Yu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where are you going to send me home?"

Ding Hong looked at her and said, "Of course, we should go to the Heavenly Palace to have a look. These monks often hang by their mouths saying that the Heavenly Palace knows the Dao. Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't go and take a look?"

Wu Yu was startled. He then hastily whispered, "But you're a monster! They want to catch you!"

He laughed heartily and said, "That's right, aren't humans also powerful demons? Which one of the people you've met these past few days isn't a monster? "

Wu Yu was speechless after hearing what she said.

After the meal, he and Wu Yu led the way down to a small room that was sunny by itself. The white horse was in a daze from boredom. When he saw them, he screamed excitedly and was about to run out.

Wu Yu hastily said, "Little white dragon, stop messing around." The horse fell silent as she spoke.

The waiter smiled and said, "Esteemed guests, do you see how I take good care of this white horse?"

Ding Hong nodded. He took out the few dozen taels of silver that Wu Yu had left for him yesterday and said, "Take me a horse and some water. There's no need to find the rest of the money."

The waiter was grinning from ear to ear as he hastily replied, "Yes, yes." He took a turn out of the door and brought over a horse. He said, "Esteemed customer, this horse is the best horse in the store. "Seeing that you're a good person, I'll sell this to you."

He smiled and didn't bother trying to prove the truth of his words. He turned to Wu Yu and said, "Alright, let's go."

The two of them left the inn and got on their horses. Just as they were about to leave, a commotion suddenly occurred in front of them. A few burly men walked over, shouting and walking over. Among them, there was a man with long, shifty eyebrows who jumped when he saw Ding Hong and the Yu Empress. He hurriedly whispered to the brawny man walking in front.

The brawny man immediately raised his eyebrows and pushed aside the people around him. When he arrived in front of Ding Hong, he said in a rough voice, "Kid, I'm a bit short of money lately. Hurry up and give me those pearls you used yesterday, or else." After saying that, he flashed his fist and his body shook a little. He even deliberately shook the broadsword tied around his waist.

Ding Hong looked around and found that the people had already dispersed. The place where there were so many people just now was empty. At the same time, the inn from before had already closed its doors.

He frowned as he stared at the burly man: "Do you have morals by coming to rob us so early in the morning?"

"What?" When the brawny man heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Usually, when they robbed other people, they would reveal their identities first or they would show them off first. Otherwise, they would just directly beg for mercy. He had never seen someone who would suddenly say such words today. The hulk looked at the two people on horseback again. If these two had some sort of powerful backing, wouldn't they just pick up rocks and smash their own feet?

He quickly ran over to his side and whispered, "Boss, even if he has some power, we can kill him this time if we snatch him away, then we can take that girl with us to take care of her and find a place to settle down. In the future, when this girl grows up, don't you also have a Heavenly Immortal wife? It would definitely be more satisfying than doing it with a bunch of slut girls in Mo City! "

Who was Ding Hong? Ever since he received the Blood Fou Talisman, his body seemed to have become brighter, and no matter how much he laughed in front of the brawny man, he could still hear him clearly.

Upon hearing that person urge him to kill Wu Yu and even take Wu Yu away to do some unscrupulous things, a ball of fury burned in his heart. Instantly, his face began to darken. With a clench of his fingers, he leaped up from the horse and thrust his sword towards the shifty-eyed man. Unexpectedly, that person seemed to have been paying attention to Ding Hong for a long time. Seeing him move, his body flashed and he hid behind the robust man's back.

The brawny man saw that Ding Hong had a sword in his hand and was shocked. He realized that he had kicked an iron plate today. Seeing that person actually wanted to use him as a shield, he immediately gathered his strength and shouted: "Young hero, wait!"

When Ding Hong heard this, he could not help but loosen his grip on his sword technique. The sword then turned into light and dissipated. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"

Seeing this scene, both Wu Yu and Ding Hong's hearts trembled. They didn't expect it at all. This brawny man killed as he said he would, as if killing people didn't count as anything in his eyes.

Ding Hong said, "If you kill him, aren't you afraid the authorities will pursue this matter with you?"

The brawny man heard his words and spat: "Young knight we have already solved the misunderstanding. Why are you saying such nonsense?" You can't even kill people in this world right now, so who cares if you kill other people? I, Lei Pi, will do it today. If Young Hero still wants to keep this matter to himself, I will not mind having to go beyond the means of this fellow! "

Ding Hong opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He sighed, called Wu Yu, then rode his horse and galloped away.

Seeing them leave, Lei Pi let out a long breath. He kicked the body of the person he killed and shouted, "Hurry up and get up!"

When the person he had just stabbed heard this, his body suddenly moved. He actually stood up and bowed next to Lei Pi.

Lei Pi immediately slapped him until his nose bled profusely. He coldly said, "Be more f * cking clever in the future. If you find such a strong person for this old man again, I'll skin you alive!"

That person hurriedly agreed, deeply afraid that he would really cut him if he got angry.

Ding Hong rode his horse all the way, but his emotions were hard to express. What Lei Pi meant just now was that his life was worse than a dog's.

Seeing Wu Yu's vexed expression, she couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't run so quickly."

Hearing Wu Yu's words, he really felt as though he had run too fast and chased those complicated thoughts out of his mind. He pulled on the reins to let the horse walk naturally. He sighed and said to Wu Yu, "Little girl, why do you think the world has become like this?"

Wu Yu frowned. He didn't seem to be satisfied with her addressing him as' little girl ', but he didn't say it out loud either. Thinking for a moment, he said, "Actually, not every place is like this. Shiqiao Town was closer to both countries, and the time of the battle was unknown, so the officials rarely cared about that kind of place. Wait until we get to Yimo County, you'll know. "

Ding Hong nodded and looked at the sun above his head. It was getting hot and he couldn't help but feel thirsty. There just happened to be a pavilion in front of them. He said to Wu Yu, "Let's go to the pavilion up ahead and rest for a while before continuing on our journey."

Wu Yu looked at the pavilion and nodded.

When she, He Dinghong, arrived at the pavilion, she discovered that there was actually an old monk who was travel worn sitting inside. When the old monk saw them, he gave a kind smile.

Ding Hong and Yu dismounted and entered the pavilion. Ding Hong said to the old monk, "Master, can we rest here for a while?"

When the old monk heard his words, he laughed and said, "This pavilion isn't mine. How can I stop you?"

Wu Yu smiled as well and didn't say anything else. He turned on the water and took a sip.

The old monk looked at Ding Hong and suddenly said, "Sir, why did you not tell this poor monk about the matters in your heart?"

Hearing this, Ding Hong was surprised. However, he could not help but want to voice out his doubts. "Master, there is something that I do not understand."
