#136 - Baiwa Painting Scroll

Nearing noon, the sun in Baiwa City hung high in the sky.

Xu Ming raised his head, looking at the scorching sun in the sky with a thoughtful expression.

"What's wrong?" Qin Qingwan asked curiously, looking at Xu Ming's profile.

"It's nothing." Xu Ming shook his head, "I was just thinking, if Baiwa City is a world of its own, what would be the difference between the sun here and the sun outside?"

"Who knows~ Maybe the sun here is smaller?" Qin Qingwan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. It's already noon, let's go eat."

Xu Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at Qin Qingwan: "But weren't you eating all the time just now?"

Qin Qingwan pouted her small mouth: "What I ate just now were all snacks. Now we are going to eat a proper meal."

Xu Ming: "Is there a difference?"

Qin Qingwan: "Of course there is a difference~ A proper meal and snacks are not put in the same stomach."

Xu Ming: "Are you sure you won't get fat like this?"

"I won't!" Qin Qingwan raised her small fist and gently hammered Xu Ming's shoulder, "I am a fairy~ Fairies don't get fat~"

Xu Ming smiled: "It's the first time I've ever seen someone call themselves a fairy."

"What does it matter? Am I not pretty?" Qin Qingwan's eyes curved into crescents.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Qin Qingwan pulled Xu Ming: "Let's go, let's go, there's a restaurant ahead that looks pretty good, let's try it out."

Before Xu Ming could refuse, Qin Qingwan pulled Xu Ming's sleeve and walked forward.

Looking at the girl pulling him forward, Xu Ming couldn't help but recall how Qin Qingwan used to pull him out to play when they were little.

"Young master, come and play~"

"Young master, come and have fun~ ~ ~"

"Young master, don't go~ ~ ~"

Qin Qingwan and Xu Ming passed by the brothel in Baiwa City.

Cats, snakes, and lizards were soliciting customers in front of the door.

These animals were all in their original forms, not the kind that transformed into human form. Apart from being able to walk upright, they had nothing to do with "humans."

But even so, Xu Ming saw a fellow human actually coming out of the brothel.

Xu Ming even wondered if he had seen it wrong.

Was this guy that hungry?

"Do you men all like to go to brothels?" Qin Qingwan asked, noticing Xu Ming's gaze.

"Miss He, don't talk nonsense." Xu Ming quickly defended himself, "I'm not interested in animals! (At least, I'm not interested in demons that haven't transformed.)"

Qin Qingwan said with a smile that was not quite a smile: "So, you are interested in human brothels?"

Xu Ming: "."

Qin Qingwan: "Have you been to a brothel?"

Xu Ming: "I haven't."

"Really haven't?" Qin Qingwan looked at Xu Ming seriously.

Xu Ming nodded: "Really haven't."

Qin Qingwan stared into Xu Ming's eyes, looked carefully, and finally straightened up, raising her proud chin: "Alright, this young lady will believe you for now."

"Actually, brothels aren't that great of a place. I heard from my master that brothels only corrode a person's body and mind, and are of no benefit to the Dao. Only by facing temptations can we better walk down our own path." Qin Qingwan began to "brainwash" Xu Ming about the disadvantages of brothels.

Xu Ming smiled: "Then I wonder what methods you have, miss, to help me resist temptation?"

"Of course I do." Qin Qingwan said cheerfully.

"Oh?" Xu Ming was a little curious.

Qin Qingwan's lips curled up: "When you want to go to a brothel in the future, you can think of me, this young lady. They are not as good-looking as me, so why would you still go to a brothel~"

Xu Ming: "."

Looking at Xu Ming's silent appearance, Qin Qingwan pouted her small mouth: "What's with that expression? Did I say something wrong?"

Xu Ming smiled and shook his head: "No."

"Hmph, you're wise." Qin Qingwan turned around and walked forward with her long legs.

Outside Baiwa City.

A one-legged firebird and a black dog lay on the top of a mountain, overlooking Baiwa City.

In their eyes, this Baiwa City only had continuous city walls, and as for everything in the city, it was just a wasteland. Not to mention a person, there weren't even any buildings.

This meant one thing—Baiwa City was isolated from the world and was about to become a small world of its own.

"What should we do? We can't just keep waiting here, right?"

Bifang stretched out its wings and patted the black dog a few times.

"I don't know either." The black dog sighed helplessly, "Now we can only wait. But have you noticed something very strange?"

Bifang rolled its eyes at the black dog: "Isn't it just that someone is trying to refine this strange treasure? It's just that the other party hasn't succeeded yet."

"Hehehe..."

The black dog grinned a few times.

"Those people who want to refine the strange treasure must be nearby. If we intercept them halfway and snatch this strange treasure into our own hands, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Bifang blinked: "It seems... there's some truth to that."

Black dog: "Then let's go~ We'll search thoroughly within a radius of dozens of miles."

Bifang flew into the sky, and the black dog used its divine powers, constantly sniffing the scent in the mountains and forests, starting a carpet search.

At the same time.

A flying zombie hopped and hopped through the mountains and forests, and came to a mountain.

If Li Han and the others were here, they would definitely recognize that this flying zombie was the one that had chased them for most of the day back then.

It was just that after Shen Sheng died, this flying zombie stopped attacking and disappeared.

"Roar..."

The flying zombie roared softly and continued to hop forward.

The flying zombie jumped into a bush and peeled it open, revealing a small magic circle.

The flying zombie then pierced its finger and dripped a few drops of green zombie blood.

As the magic circle activated, the flying zombie disappeared from the spot.

When the flying zombie regained its senses, it had already arrived inside the mountain peak.

The flying zombie took out a blue bead from its arms and crushed it.

As the powder of the bead covered the flying zombie's body, the flying zombie concealed its aura, and its body also became transparent.

The flying zombie carefully hopped forward.

At this time, there were not many cultivators in the magma heart cave, only magical beasts were constantly struggling in the rock wall cages, constantly roaring.

The flying zombie saw the woman bound by chains and quickly jumped over.

"Roar..."

The flying zombie made a low roar.

The woman raised her head: "Little Jump? Is that you?"

"Roar." The flying zombie roared again.

The woman pursed her thin lips tightly: "The Baiwa painting is about to take shape. Take away the pendant on my neck and give it to the cultivators in Baiwa City. As for who to give it to... whether the other party can do it or not, it's up to fate. Go quickly!"

"Roar."

The flying zombie grabbed the necklace on the woman's neck, yanked it hard, and quickly jumped out of the cave.
