The day before the final event happens to be the famous Lantern Festival in Zhengming City, and only during this festival will the serious and fierce Zhengming City become more amiable and approachable.
The whole city is dotted with lights of various colors, and countless special-shaped flame lamps are suspended on both sides of the streets, forming a beautiful and moving star road at night!
Pedestrians walked almost shoulder to shoulder as people came and went on the streets. Many people crowded in front of some shops and played ancient lantern riddles.
Guessing lantern riddles is mainly about guessing the soul pet. Passers-by can guess the soul pet through a brief description. Those who guess correctly will naturally be rewarded by the store. This kind of game is great for children who are working hard to learn various knowledge about soul pets.
Very meaningful and very interesting.
Of course, this kind of festival is indispensable for some beautiful performances, including Shenzong who will send some beautiful and graceful women to control their pure and holy soul pets to sing and dance in the air of the square. Their moving appearance attracts countless young men to be intoxicated.
.
"Sister Pang Yue, it's so fun here." Ning Man'er, a lively little fairy, had seen such a lively festival for the first time. She had a beautiful and charming smile all night long.
As Ning Man'er grew up, she became a little shyer and more reserved, but her temperament remained the same, at least tonight it was clearly demonstrated.
"Well, let's go watch a dance. There are many beautiful men." Pang Yue said with a smile.
Ning Man'er nodded and subconsciously looked around, trying to find Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.
"Leave them alone, they must have gone somewhere to whisper." Pang Yue pulled Ning Man'er and went to the other side.
Ning Man'er remembered Chu Mu's instructions not to act alone, so she called Mu Qingyi to join her.
The men ran to watch the looming women dancing, and naturally didn't care where they went.
The three women passed through the crowd and saw a group of men in white clothes in the middle of a crossroads. They were performing battles in a dance. This kind of culture existed very early.
The dancing boys in white performed various performances, and then there was a battle performance between soul pets. Although everyone knew that every move and style of these soul pets was rehearsed, but seeing the difficult dodge
And his keen awareness still made the onlookers applaud.
Ning Man'er and Pang Yue watched intently, while Mu Qingyi was thinking about his own things while watching, just to pass the time.
There are many people behind them, perhaps because the three women are so beautiful, and there will always be more people who deliberately want to get close to them, especially men.
"Why are you squeezing?" A young man behind said irritably.
As he spoke, the young man turned around to see which blind guy would prevent him from taking the opportunity to approach the beauty.
The moment he turned around, a pair of cold and murderous eyes suddenly stared at him. One look made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave!
The young man was stunned, not daring to speak louder, and hurriedly backed away.
This person's face is expressionless, his eyes are cold, and his long pointed chin gives people a dangerous feeling like a poisonous snake!
He was wearing a bamboo hat, and the shadow of the hat half covered his face.
He slowly approached Ning Man'er and the other three, and the men who were surrounding the three women unconsciously moved out of the way.
"Hiss, hiss~~~~~~~~~"
A poisonous snake emerged from the man's loose clothes, revealing half of its head!
This is a shadow snake that cannot be seen by others in the dark.
The dangerous man stood behind the three women seemingly unintentionally like other pedestrians. The shadow snake slowly emerged from his coat, and slowly approached Ning Man'er with its cold head.
The three girls who were watching the dance didn't notice that Ning Man'er was still clapping her hands excitedly.
Under the hat, the poisonous snake man showed a cold smile. The shadow snake was less than half a meter away from them. As long as a slight bite was taken, these three women would faint directly. Taking them away would be a piece of cake.
The shadow snake is getting closer and closer, it opens its poisonous mouth, and its terrifying fangs are exposed!
Suddenly, the shadow snake launched an attack, and its bite was right on Ning Man'er's neck, which was as white as jade.
At this distance, it is impossible to dodge!
The moment the shadow snake pounced and bit her, Ning Maner finally realized the chill coming from the back of her neck. She subconsciously wanted to hide, but she could already feel the cold fangs touching her skin!
Ning Man'er panicked. She remembered that Chu Mu had reminded her to be careful of sneak attacks by some people, but she never thought that those people would really dare to attack her in public.
Ning Man'er knew she couldn't avoid it, so she reminded Mu Qingyi next to her at the moment she was bitten.
Mu Qingyi's eyes narrowed, and she turned her head sharply, staring at the unsettling man behind her with hostility.
The man grinned and was not afraid of Mu Qingyi.
At this distance, no matter how powerful Mu Qingyi is, his shadow snake can bite her the moment she chants the spell, and the mission is successfully completed.
"There are bad people!" Ning Man'er said out loud.
Ning Man'er also turned around. She originally thought she had been attacked, but for some reason, a cold and dangerous feeling appeared on her neck and then suddenly disappeared.
Pang Yue was startled, and when she turned her head, she realized that a chilling guy had appeared behind her. She subconsciously took a few steps back.
The viper man was stunned and looked at Ning Man'er with some astonishment.
She was clearly bitten by her own poisonous snake, so why didn't she faint?
The man looked down and suddenly realized that his shadow snake had fallen to the ground without knowing when, and was being stepped on by something!
"Hiss, hiss~~~~~~~~~~~" The shadow snake struggled painfully on the floor, its body was a little shriveled, and blood was constantly spilling from its mouth.
The man was stunned. The next moment, a pair of stern eyes appeared in front of him!
These are a pair of pupils as deep as an abyss. When they are full of hostility, the intimidating force makes the man feel numb all over!
"What a powerful aura!!" The man looked into these eyes with a horrified face.
A hand slowly stretched out and pinched the man's neck.
Realizing that his life was in danger, the man swung his coat and his body turned into a cloud of black smoke and quickly disappeared.
When the hand grabbed him, it suddenly turned into a claw. It scratched the air fiercely, and a trace of blood sprayed on the place where the man disappeared.
Mu Qingyi, Ning Man'er, and Pang Yue all looked at this strange scene in trance.
It took a while for Ning Man'er to react, lowered her head and glanced at her own shadow.
Ning Man'er's shadow was moving, slowly returning from its original offensive form to its original shadow form.
"Dark Emperor!" Ning Man'er was surprised and happy.
It was clear that I couldn't dodge just now, but it turned out that the Dark Emperor protected me.
The Dark Emperor is He Cang's soul pet. After burying He Cang under the World Lord Tree, Ning Man'er has been looking for the injured Dark Emperor.
It turns out that it did not leave alone, but turned into its own shadow, and has been secretly protecting itself for such a long time... The Dark Emperor did not show up, and kept the appearance of a shadow. No matter how Ning Man'er called it, it remained
Didn't come out.
"There is danger here. Let's meet up with the others first." Mu Qingyi knew that they had escaped a disaster, but she did not dare to take it lightly.
"Yeah." Pang Yue was also very frightened, who knew that someone would dare to attack them in this situation.
...After passing through the bustling streets, Ning Man'er found Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi under an arch bridge over the Qinghe River through a soul-soul appointment.
"Brother." Ning Man'er trotted up to Chu Mu and hugged Chu Mu's arm fearfully.
"What's wrong?" Chu Mu asked hurriedly when he saw Ning Man'er's aggrieved look.
Mu Qingyi came over and said to Chu Mu, "We were attacked just now."
"Yeah, that person was so scary, I thought I was dead like this." Pang Yue said with lingering fear.
Chu Mu's heart suddenly sank. He didn't expect Han Erxing to move so fast. This guy is really crazy!
"Are you okay?" Chu Mu knew that he was responsible for this matter. If anything happened to them, Chu Mu would kill Han Erxing even if he killed Shenzong.
"It's okay, the Dark Emperor saved us." Ning Man'er looked down at her own shadow.
"Dark Emperor?" Chu Mu was stunned.
Isn't the Dark Emperor He Cang's soul pet?
Chu Mu glanced at Ning Man'er's shadow, and when he used his soul to explore it, he suddenly felt a powerful breath of life!
"So it turns out it has been following you." Chu Mu said.
The master has left this world and the soul contract has been broken, but it still continues to protect Ning Man'er.
Seeing the Dark Emperor like this, Chu Mu respected He Cang and the Dark Emperor even more!
The Dark Emperor is very powerful. If He Cang hadn't used the Dark Emperor to resist the attacks of seven immortal-level experts on his own, Chu Mu would never have had the chance to transform into a black and white half-demon.
With the Dark Emperor by Ning Man'er's side at all times, Chu Mu can really rest assured about her safety.
However, just because someone is fine doesn't mean that Chu Mu doesn't have a trace of anger!
Han Erxing did not dare to attack him directly, but he actually targeted the people around him. What Chu Mu couldn't tolerate the most was someone hurting Ning Man'er.
This time, the Dark Emperor is protecting Ning Man'er. If there was no Dark Emperor, Ning Man'er would be kidnapped by Han Erxing. How could I be worthy of the guardians who sacrificed for Ning Man'er? How could I be worthy of someone like He Cang who deserves respect?
Strong!
"Moye, Dead Meng, protect them back." Chu Mu said.
"What about you?" Ye Qingzi felt the anger welling up in Chu Mu's heart and said with some worry.
Chu Mu didn't say anything and walked away alone with a gloomy expression.
...Walking on the street with endless flow, the flames of the gorgeous lanterns around him began to beat inexplicably, exuding a cold temperature, sometimes black, sometimes white... Chu Mu walked along the street, walking.
, a veiled woman suddenly appeared behind him.
"Do you know where Han Erxing is tonight?" Chu Mu asked calmly.
"I know." Yusuo replied.
Chu Mu nodded and said no more.
At this time, his pupils changed strangely, his left eye was black and his right eye was silver!
