Chapter 376 A Place to Stay

Junior sister's words made Li Mu feel a little embarrassed.

He didn't think he was fooling around, and even vaguely felt that it made sense to do so, that it wasn't all for naught.

He was just momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer He Xiaoyu's question.

"Xiaoyu is a bit short-sighted!"

Shen Xingyue said nonchalantly.

He Xiaoyu said unconvincingly, "How am I short-sighted, am I wrong?"

"Of course it's not right, you only see the hunting area, but you've forgotten about the piece of heaven and earth outside, not to mention that there are heavens beyond the heavens, and the Mengze Continent is just a projectile, our future will most likely not be here."

He Xiaoyu was thoughtful and didn't refute her words.

Shen Xingyue tried to slow down her tone as much as possible and said with a smile, ''In addition, our Nanyang Centaurs are in dire need of equipment, and these things can be used sooner or later.

Moreover, there will certainly be more than just demons in the composition of our future forces; there will be no shortage of humans and gods, and they will need this equipment as well."

Lin Wan agreed, "What Xing Yue said is good, we shouldn't learn from the Divine Race, we need to accept all rivers in the sea in order to be tolerant and big, otherwise, if we tie our own hands and feet, sooner or later, we will surely die."

Li Mu hurriedly concurred, ''Well said, if you tie your own hands, you will die sooner or later, that being said, the Divine Race isn't all stuck in their ways.

Far from it, let's just say that the Illumination Wheel Sect, it's controlled by the Divine Race, but most of the disciples under its doors are humans, and people manage to get along, and I haven't heard of a hierarchy."

"Alright, alright!" He Xiaoyu pouted, "I can't say no to you guys, so I'll do as you say, senior brother, what are you going to do with the loot?"

Reimu was once again speechless, the question still harder to answer.

There could be hundreds of assorted weapons on the ground, as well as the shivering horses, and with the four of them, there was no way to deal with them.

"It's good that Hope is here." Reimu muttered.

"Now that you know its benefits, don't you want to eat dog meat?" Niang Lin taunted.

"You can't blame me for the dog when it's in use, it's the casserole that's to blame!"

"Stop the bullshit and figure it out!"

Shen Xingyue laughed, ''You guys shouldn't count on Hope for everything, those equipments are fine, it's fine if it swallows them in its stomach.

Horses are living things, and they certainly can't survive inside its belly, and horses need to be fed and walked, something Hope certainly can't do."

Li Mu scolded, "It's not that he can't do it, but he doesn't want to do it, that broken dog is very arrogant, surely he doesn't care to do the role of a horseman."

Nymphet Lin nodded.

"Well, as pretentious as its owner."

Little Brother Li skimmed his mouth and said in a bullish manner, "It's a pity that it's just a shape, it hasn't learned the essence of its master, I have the money to pretend to be a pussy, what does it have, at best it has a fart."

Speaking of which, he patted White's head with his hand.

"Big guy, aren't you pretty good, any ideas?"

Xiao Bai didn't say anything, spitting out a ball of spiderweb from under his belly, covering the pile of weapons, only to close it up, tying it into a large parcel, picking it up on the scythe, and shaking it towards Li Mu as if inviting credit.

"Heh, that's a good idea, what about those horses, can't leave them behind."

Little White tilted his head and hissed twice, and not long after, two smaller full-sized dragons climbed out from inside the valley.

They came to White and crouched down, heads bowed, as if on command.

Xiao Bai hissed again, and the two full dragons responded by driving their horses towards the depths of the dense forest.

Li Mu looked at the rarity, suddenly remembered something and shouted, "I have great use for these horses, you are not allowed to eat them."

Lin Wan tugged on his sleeve and whispered, "It's not advisable to stay in a place of wrongdoing for long, let's go too!"

With a quick mind, White hurriedly got down on the ground and signaled them to climb onto his back.

The crowd was not polite, you pulled and I dragged, all climbed onto the back of Xiaobai.

After sitting down and tugging them steady, White let out a hiss and humped them, quickly leaving the spot.

All the way over the mountains, they were getting farther and farther away from the entrance, and by the looks of it, they were already gradually going deeper and deeper into the hinterland, so everyone's mood was no longer tense, and they began to figure out exactly where to go.

Opinions were once again not unanimous, Li Mu's opinion was to seize a stagecoach station and then use it as a base to gradually expand his power.

Shen Xingyue's opinion was to go to Xiao Bai's lair, the terrain there was treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the conditions were not as good as the stagecoach station, but the security was definitely much higher than the former.

Lin Niangniang in turn was out of ideas, feeling that what they said was all right, and it seemed like they were all a bit off.

What's the trade-off between good stagecoach conditions and high lair security?

Li Mu and Shen Xingyue argued endlessly, Lin Wan hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind, seeing that He Xiaoyu didn't say anything, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyu, what's your opinion?"

"Sister Wan, after comparing the pros and cons over and over again, I feel that neither the stagecoach nor the lair are good, neither is an ideal hiding place for us."

"Oh, why is that?"

"Because you and Shifu are going to transform into demons, this process absolutely cannot be disturbed by outsiders, and from this point of view, neither the stagecoach nor the lair meets the requirements."

Li Mu and Shen Xingyue stopped arguing and both strained their ears to listen carefully.

He Xiaoyu continued, "I did think of a good place to go that should be more in line with all aspects."

Reimu grabbed the question, "What place?"

Shen Xingyue laughed, "Xiao Yu wants to talk about the Ghost Underworld Cave, right!"

He Xiaoyu admitted, "Not bad, you are indeed very smart, what I want to talk about is the Ghostly Underworld Cave."

Li Mu frowned and said, "There is no sun or moon there for the whole year, it can't go up to the sky, it can't go down to the ground, it's eerie and weird, it's damp and dim, can it be an ideal place to hide?"

"Senior only knows one thing, not the other, it's a bit arbitrary."

"Really, so tell me, what's in it for you to go there?"

"Senior brother, Xiao Zi is a neat and tidy person by nature, don't look at the Ghost Underworld Cave as not being good, the inside of its cave is both clean and hygienic, we'll definitely have no problem hiding there for a period of time."

"A monster like that would still be clean and hygienic inside the cave?"

"Senior brother don't judge a book by its cover, although I've never been there, I've heard my ancestral grandmother recite it once, her old man would definitely not lie, the conditions there are definitely no worse than the stagecoach station."

Lin Wan nodded and said to Li Mu, "Since Ancestral Grandmother said it's good, it must be good, and it's very safe there, we don't have to worry about being attacked by outsiders."

He Xiaoyu concurred, "Yes, that's the lair of the Quarry Demon, the Minglun Sect definitely wouldn't dare to go there to harass us, so Senior Brother and Sister Wan can do it from a comfortable position without having to worry about the safety aspect."

Li Mu was a bit moved and turned his head to ask Shen Xingyue.

"What do you think?"

"If it's really as good as Xiaoyu said, the Ghostly Underworld Cave is a good choice, only, I'm more worried about one issue."

"What's the problem?"

"Brother Mu, as the old saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the Ghostly Underworld Cave is Little Violet's lair, can it allow Little White to enter?"

Several people were silent.

Shen Xingyue's query was very reasonable.

Xiao Zi and Xiao Bai are both great demons, all of them are unruly and untamed, Xiao Bai came here uninvited, in case Xiao Zi doesn't allow it, who can resolve the conflict between them.

Lin Wan whispered to He Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, have you thought about this question?"

He Xiaoyu shook his head awkwardly.

"No, Sister Xingyue's concern is not unreasonable, why don't Senior Brother and I make a trip first and ask Little Violet's opinion before deciding to go or not."

Li Mu patted Little White on the back and asked loudly, "Little White, do you know how to get to the Ghost Underworld Cave?"

Kohaku hissed and nodded downward with his unweighted scythe.

"Can you escort us out if there is danger there?"

Kohaku growled, his voice filled with self-importance, and his large scythe plowed hard into the ground, smashing a boulder to pieces.

"I see, everyone, there's no need to look ahead, I suggest going to the Ghostly Underworld Cave together!" Li Mu said with certainty.

Lin Wan asked with some concern, "Hubby, would it be a bit risky, besides, doing this seems a bit disrespectful to Little Zi."

Li Mu said seriously, "To be, it is uninvited, don't forget, you and I are its masters, when a master goes to a servant's house, is there still a need to greet him beforehand? Does the master's arrangement still need to seek the servant's consent beforehand?"

His voice was loud, both for Lin Wan and the others, as well as for Xiao Bai.

Being both master and servant is in itself an unequal status. If a servant talks about respect with his master and wants to talk about equality with his master, what else is there to call a master and servant?

If Little Violet couldn't accept this, it only meant that it wasn't convinced in its heart, and Li Mu wouldn't dare to reuse or trust such a servant.

The seated Xiao Bai was unresponsive, so he must have an extremely high mind, and he listened to all of his master's words.

He Xiaoyu said loudly, "Senior is right, since it is a master and servant, of course there should be a distinction between inferiority and superiority, Sister Wan is its master, it should unconditionally obey whatever you want to do."

Shen Xingyue slowly nodded her head and said to Lin Wan, "There is nothing wrong with Brother Mu's idea, Little Wan, we might as well go to the Ghost Underworld Cave together."

"Okay, I'll listen to you guys, Little White, steer to the Ghostly Underworld Cave!"

White hissed and turned around without hesitation.

After more than ten days, they arrived near the Ghostly Underworld Cave.

The accompanying herd of horses didn't dare to continue toward the front, and while the two full dragons kept roaring loudly, the herd of horses were neighing and backing up.

It looked like they would rather be eaten by the Full Dragon than continue to approach the Ghostly Underworld Cave.

Lin Wan instructed Little White, "Leave the horses here and have your men watch over them, don't let them run away."

Xiao Bai roared a few times at the two full dragons, and the latter understood and drove the horses, going to the side to graze on the grass.

With that, Little White humped them and continued to advance towards the Ghostly Underworld Cave.

Coming to the mouth of the cave, White climbed down without hesitation.

Lin Wan and Shen Xingyue felt more and more uncomfortable, they were still human, the demonic and evil qi of the ghost cave was always oppressing them, making it impossible for them to breathe, as if they would die the next moment.

Li Mu couldn't help but frown, this can't be done, wait a while and still have to go through the black mist belt, look at the state of his wife and Star Moon, they have already reached the limit, can't continue to take risks.

Before he could issue an order, Little White raised all the manes on his back and wrapped Lin Wan and Shen Xingyue in a ball.

Lin Wan then said, "Hubby, it's fine, we're fine, no problems at all."

Li Mu let out a long breath and suddenly thought of a question and asked He Xiaoyu, "Could your two heavy grandchildren be demons as well, and why didn't they react at all?"

He Xiaoyu smiled and explained, "They're humans, not demons, and they're harboring the Evil Resisting Bead on their bodies, that's why they won't be afraid of demonic qi."
