Chapter 69: Orchid Blossoms, Falling Fruit

y, "Two hundred Dao Yuan stones, just like that"How many pills can this refine!In his heart, there was actually some resentment towards the direction they were heading. Although it had been hard work...In the depths of the forest, where darkness prevailed and paths grew increasingly secluded, Zhu Zheng stood motionless, his gaze vacant.

His demonic prowess originated from his eyes, and he had long since developed corresponding supernatural abilities. But those pair of multifaceted eyes, capable of capturing multi-angle dynamics, were currently unresponsive.

The pond is like stagnant water, perfectly still and without a ripple.

He opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was equally stiff: "Five months ago, I made contact with the fox elder from Ziwu Hills. He told me that Xiong Sanshi was active in the Tianxi Wasteland and asked me to pay attention to related news and deliver information to him at any time... He paid me accordingly."

Hu Boqi was a brilliant strategist under the command of Tiger Taisui, renowned as the smartest mind in Ziwu Hill.

>

Before Xiong Sansi's rise to prominence, he was the most renowned demon king under Hu Taisu's command. Many major events in Ziwu Hills were orchestrated by him.

Why is he paying attention to Xiong Sanshi Is it because of the instruction from Hu Taisui, or is it his own idea

With unruffled composure, Zhu Lan delicately plucks at the strings. The music flows like birdsong, soothing the perils of the ancient forest. She speaks softly, "And what else"

Zhu Zheng said blankly, “Fox Bo Qi gave me a set of curse seals, saying they were very effective against Xiong Sanshi. He said that if Xiong Sanshi found me, I could use these seals to protect myself.”

What kind of curse mark is this

Zhu Zheng stiffly raised his finger in the air, about to depict it. But Dao Yuan circled his finger, leaving a shadow in mid-air. Just as he was starting, Zhu Lanruo called out to stop him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Wait. Don't need to describe it to me."

If the spider silk were gently plucked, a few sounds would emerge.

Yǔjiǎo Shānggōng, Yǔjiǎo Shānggōng, Zhēng zhēng zhēng.

Her voice blended with the music of the piano, creating a delightful and melodious sound.

She said, "When I play this set of notes again, you directly cast this seal."

Zhu Zheng listened to the music for a while, seemingly intoxicated, his eyes becoming vacant again: “As you wish.”

Fox-master Bi is not a simple character, involving the Tiger Tai Sui, and the danger in between is hard to say. To rashly see his curse mark is not a safe choice. Therefore, if Zhu Lan changes her mind temporarily, she will not directly experience this curse mark.

But one must also establish a method of control, keeping the fox-like schemes devised by Xiong Sanshi for himself.

Zhū Yì manipulated thousands of puppet corpses, imposing his power on all.

She captivated hearts with her music, possessing divine powers within.

This interrogation should have ended here, but Zhulan, sensing something was amiss, cautiously asked, "What else"

Zhu Zheng froze for a moment, his face contorted in struggle.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

If you pluck a few strings of the spider's silk, its sound becomes softer instead: “Don’t be nervous, speak slowly, this place is safe, you won’t be harmed. Your words...won’t be heard by anyone.”

Under the soothing melody of the qin, Zhu Zheng's expression softened. Slowly, he said, "Three years ago... Three years ago, I met Quan Yingyang in Mengtou Gou."

Is the dog sunny

This is merely a suspicion of something amiss with Zhu Zhen. Within this isolated environment, cut off from external influences and interference, I will conduct a careful investigation.

It's fine that we found out about the design of Ziwu Hill, but why are you bringing up the real demonic dog Yingyang

Things are getting weirder and weirder!

The spider felt a faint tremor, as if it had brushed against some shadow lurking beneath the water. It was a vast and profound presence, one that had been silently approaching for who knows how long, its enormous maw gaping open with greed over the desolate expanse of Tianxi wasteland!

Is it related to the land of Shenxiao, or does it involve something broader

How dare a mere mortal like the Dog of Yang set a trap for a Heavenly Demon There must be someone backing him!

By inferring backwards from this, was there also a deeper meaning behind the incident where Quan Ying Yang caused a ruckus in Mowu City after Quan Xi Zai's death, until Lord of Mowu City Zhu Xian personally intervened to quell it

Now that I think about it, Inuen's reaction at the time was a bit too intense. There was probably an element of surprise to it. Did he suspect Inue Kizen's death had something to do with the Spira clan Did he suspect the Spira clan had discovered something

Even if we think simply, was Zhu's reaction at that time too accommodating, causing that hidden presence to probe the existence of Tianzhu Niangniang and glimpse her reality

Is there any possibility that Gǔnán Mountain was behind this, considering its proximity to Zhàoyúnfēng

There was turmoil in his heart, yet Zhuruo's ethereal voice grew more resonant, her tone softer than ever: "What did Quan Yingyang want with you"

He said he could help me become the Demon King sooner, letting me truly become a direct bloodline of the Zhu family.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

What are the conditions

Zhu Zheng said with a wooden expression: "At the right time, offer Zhu Lanruo to Quan Xi."

Zhurang's lips curled into a gentle smile. "That condition is impossible, so what then"

Dedicated to Yin Xi Hua.

The dog, despite his outward appearances of a gentleman, is truly a cunning fox. He has carefully plotted and schemed, and he wouldn't be doing all this just for the sake of something as trivial as his own pleasure.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

He wouldn't be foolish enough to believe that, by succumbing to one of the young masters of the Dog Clan, he would wholeheartedly dedicate himself. The Zhu clan would suffer corresponding losses in return.

Perhaps the key to this matter lies in the details of what is meant by "dedication." Was it for his own celestial demon bloodline Was it for his innate divine powers How could this possibly involve their ancestors

Here's the translation:

“Who else is behind Yang's back” Zhu Lan asked softly.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

“I don’t know...” In the gentle sound of the piano, Zhu Zheng's eyes flickered several times, as if finally remembering something: “Perhaps...”

At the moment he was about to open his mouth, Zhu Zheng's expression changed drastically, he was about to wake up!

A jade finger pressed against his brow!

That kind of warm and gentle touch instantly calmed the turmoil in my heart.

>

If Zhu Lan knew she could no longer get any information, asking further might only put her at risk. Having some calculations in mind, she calmly said, "When you wake up, nothing will have happened. We're moving forward, and there's a long road ahead."

She retracted her fingers, the sound of the strings still lingering in the air. With a light step, she continued on her way.

This text is empty. Please provide the content you would like translated.

There was a woman named Lanruo in the Zhu family. She was born with rainbow light falling upon her.

>

The person has an extremely auspicious fate and exceptional innate talent.

She was born with the Grand Duke Zhurui personally attending, inheriting a legitimate name, and needing no accomplishment from the Demon King to already be a direct descendant of the Tianxi Zhu family.

All along, concealing one's strength has been like a treasure hidden in the dark, avoiding external harm.

And the innate magical power she was born with, was a myth within a myth, a legend among legends, known as Lan Yin Xu Guo.

It originally refers to the beginning and end of a relationship, an unfortunate outcome, describing the marriage between a man and a woman.

But this supernatural power, named as such, emphasizes mastery over cause and effect.

If one turns back from the sea of suffering, one should realize the cause of enlightenment. Why linger on the flowing water when one can taste the sweetness of its fruit

Just now, she borrowed the lifeline of Zhūzhēng and safely saw a few strands of karma.

Seeing a snake sucking blood from others, there might be an extremely wicked event or an extremely evil power at work.

It can be seen that Chai A Si's back is hiding a specific existence, not just leaving behind some means, it is very likely to be with him in person.

It seems that Hachimaru isn't a simple man. There's really something to his connection with this secret scripture of the Divine Phoenix.

Seeing all sorts of demons and affairs, none are simple. All have a "Lan Yin".

In the end, who submitted to "Xu Guo"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

That graceful figure swayed before him, Zhurong followed awkwardly for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, returning to his senses. He didn't feel anything amiss. He looked around again, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

“We have to be careful of Xiong Sans, the Tiger Tai Sui might use him for something.” He continued discussing.

The spider whispered, "This place is dangerous, brother, be careful."

"Huh" Zhu Zheng was startled: "Huh!"

Chai Si seems to have had a very long dream.

In his dream, he unexpectedly found a magical mirror while going up the mountain to collect medicine.

A benevolent and ancient spirit resides within the mirror.

The ancient god admired him greatly, passing down his divine skills and guiding him in his cultivation. He even taught him how to win the heart of a female demon.

In his dream, he had already made a name for himself, becoming a high-ranking member of the Hua Guo Hui. He became famous in the Jin Yang Martial Arts Tournament, winning the affections of a beautiful woman and competing with the seeds of heavenly demons from all over the demon world for the legendary Shen Xiao Secret Treasure...

Wake up, wake up it's all a dream.

He was still in his dilapidated old house, lying on the hard plank bed.

There are only four walls around.

On the wall... there was no shrine on the wall.

He sat blankly on the bed, lost in thought.

Although I've lived an ordinary life for so many years, accustomed to it for so long. Life is stagnant, devoid of surprises or anticipation; a decade ago, I could have foreseen what lay ahead ten years later.

He had long been accustomed to it and never thought there was anything wrong with it.

But after such a dream, everything that was once commonplace became unbearable.

That... was it really just a dream

"A Si, A Si"

A crisp slap made Chai Si awake, eyes wide with surprise.

I immediately felt a searing pain on my face, and saw Yume's fist raised high.

“You’re awake” Yuanmeng grinned widely.

What happened

Chai A Si leaped up, sword drawn and looking around with alert eyes. The forest ahead was winding and deep, sunlight couldn't penetrate the canopy, and there was no wind... He truly didn't know what he would encounter!

This slightly rough fighting stance once again verified Enmengji's judgment of his strength, and made Enmengji laugh even more sincerely.

“Look at you, so young! You can’t even handle a little bit of wind and waves, collapsing like this” He casually waved his hand. “It's fortunate that you're traveling with me, otherwise if it were those guys from the Canine Immortal Hall, they would have disposed of you without hesitation!”

>

Looking at those teeth bared up close, Chai Si really wanted to stab him with a set of heavenly sword techniques. This useless young master was so oblivious, he couldn't even tell north from south! You smile at him a few times and he actually thinks he's amazing. My ancestor could crush you with just one finger!

"Your Reverence"

"Master!"

"Grandfather Gu Shen"

"Come on, speak up! Don't scare me like that!"

Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!

My heart kept calling out, but there was no answer at first.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Feeling the silence of the mirror on his chest, Chai A Si's temper also fell silent.

“Young Master Monkey!” he looked over with gratitude in his eyes: “What just happened”

"You don't remember at all" Yuanmeng exclaimed in surprise. "It just happened, not even a few breaths ago."

Chai A Si fawned, "How could a lowly demon compare to Young Master Yuan"

He shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't remember at all!"

Yuan Mengji smiled serenely and said in a loud voice, "Just now, a stunning woman stopped me and asked how I would choose between beauty and the world. She then coquettishly played with her hair and loosened her clothes... I told her that I am a hero who walks the path alone, neither beauty nor the world's wonders appeal to me. This life is dedicated only to pursuing the pinnacle of cultivation... I firmly rejected her."

He described in detail how the stunning woman had seduced him, and how he had resolutely resisted her advances.

Upon hearing this, Chai Si's hands trembled with exertion. He couldn't help but draw his sword.

Please note: I've removed the extra "" characters that were included in your input. The original content was simply a paragraph tag with nothing inside it.

...and finally concluded: “Wait for me to come back, and you'll find yourself lying on the roadside. She probably didn’t like you, she just knocked you unconscious!”

"Yes, yes, how could I possibly compare to Young Master Ape's grace and prowess" Chai Si fumed inwardly.

He didn't know if the ancient gods were sleeping and recovering their power, or if they were affected by something in the Divine Realm of Sky Thunder...In short, he couldn't communicate with them for the moment. He felt empty and unsure.

"This journey is long and perilous, fraught with danger. I'll rely on you heavily, Sharen!"

"Alright! Follow me, you're finally bringing luck to our ancestors!"

The ancient god venerable, repeatedly called by Chai Si's, stood in the mirror world at this moment, his hand resting on his long sword, his eyes turned crimson. He didn't dare to move, let alone respond to his believers.

His true form entered the mirror world. Outside the space opened up by several trials, it had always been a blank white expanse, with nothing to be seen.

This time, the first round had an unexpected situation.

At this moment, within that vast expanse of white mist, something monstrous seemed to be struggling, the white mist churning and swirling incessantly!

This change was uncertain whether good or bad, but undoubtedly made him very nervous.

When he first entered the realm of Shenxiao unexpectedly, he had also wondered about its mechanisms and whether it could detect his presence. He pondered if walking within this realm through a mirror would subject him to the same trials as other monsters.

He, in his true form, was hiding a crimson makeup mirror. It was clearly on Zhu Dali's person. However, the reflection of him in the mirror remained still and calm as he walked.

Zhu Dali's fate was a mere illusion, he directly controlled Zhu Dali's body and crushed it, without experiencing any impact.

On the other hand, Chai Si only contacted through divine seal technique but encountered setbacks!

In that babble of Nari Dream's, only the first sentence is true.

There once was a peerlessly beautiful female demon who blocked their path.

She is indeed captivating.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But she didn't do much flirting.

>

...For in that instant of her appearance, with just a flicker of an eyelash and a turn of her gaze… both Saru-mu Genki and Chai A-shi were utterly smitten. They stood there dumbfounded, drooling more than the other.

Such a poor performance, it's hard to imagine not finishing last among the six roads.

But Jiang Wang, who had been keeping a close eye on Chai Si's situation, couldn't just stand by and watch him be erased so casually. Therefore, he immediately descended his power through the Red Heart Divine Seal at the first opportunity.

Things changed at this moment.

The Golden Armor Ape Dream's outer body had a circle of golden light, probably a means left behind by the Heavenly Demon Ape Immortal Court to protect him from danger.

In the mirrored world, Jiang Wang with his crimson eyes opened, but through the red makeup mirror, he didn't see a woman at all. Instead, he saw...a dragon!

It rides upon the thick clouds, ascends to the heavens, and travels through the dense mist.

>In this old forest path, explore the rugged dragon head.

Its long whiskers, like whips, swayed in the air. In the blink of an eye, pavilions and towers came into view.

Its dragon eyes were as large as houses, a dark gold color, its expression indifferent.

It has antlers that fork like a deer's, and its neck to back is covered in red mane. Dark earthen-colored scales grow from the waist to the back, all pointing forward against the grain.

According to "Youyang Zazu", "The lower half of a mirage's body is entirely covered in reverse scales."

This is a mirage!

Dragons shouldn't exist in the demon realm, but in this divine Xiaoman realm, there appeared such a majestic and imposing mirage dragon.

When Jiang Wang saw him, he also saw her.

Its true form resembled a dragon stretching as long as the mountains, it merely raised its eyes slightly.

Though there were no words spoken, Jiang Wang already felt the contempt and cruelty between them.

And then it moved.

A whirlwind, like a dragon rising, swept up. Body as if a surging river...Jiang Wang felt as though he was facing a towering mountain, charging head-on.

The mirage dragon... actually found his true form through the connection of the divine seal, and crashed into the mirrored world.

His proud spiritual power, before this surging torrent, was as feeble as a leaf, unable to grasp its edge!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At that moment, the feeling of impending doom was so overwhelming, it almost felt like he was staring into the abyss.

He tightly gripped his longing, yet couldn't see a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

But the very next moment—

The mirage dragon let out a mournful cry and swished past him, crashing into the white mist.

Roll! Non-stop!ssed in fine clothes, Zhongshan Wei retreated discreetly to the back of the queue. He didn't want to draw Xia Houlie's ire.The Great Qin Empire was a military state. The entire country was governed by...
