Demon's Lament (2)
The entire Sand City was eerily quiet. The vast city had enough rooms to accommodate everyone.
Chen Dali, Luo Cheng, and Blood Wolf entered Shadow Street or mission worlds to improve their strength, while Fatty Wu and his group of reincarnators entered mandatory missions, with no return date in sight.
However, with Li Wei, Zheng Yutong, Xue Yan, and Nina in charge, Sand City was impregnable, and there was no need to worry about anyone daring to try and seize it.
Inside the city lord's hall, everything was arranged by Zheng Yutong. Having temporarily taken control of the City Lord's Crest for the past few days, Zheng Yutong's understanding of Sand City is now superior to Li Wei's.
In reality, this Sand City is entirely a fantasy city.
The reason for this is that as long as you hold the City Lord's Crest, you can, to some extent, change the style of buildings in the town, and even the interior layout. Of course, all of this requires spending a certain number of points.
Take the current layout of the city lord's hall, for example. It is Zheng Yutong's favorite classical style. The interior decoration of the building is simple and elegant with a lot of wood and Dali materials. The floor is covered with fine carpet, which is fine to walk on even barefoot and is very soft and comfortable.
In a room, Zheng Yutong stared at Li Wei silently, but the light in her eyes made Li Wei, who was opposite her, feel uneasy.
No matter what, he was a top-tier expert, so why did he feel so uncomfortable under this woman's gaze?
Li Wei didn't understand.
What puzzled him even more was Zheng Yutong's next move. He saw her stand up and slowly take off her outer garment, revealing only a white shirt underneath, with only a few buttons hanging on it. As she walked, Li Wei could catch a glimpse of her rounded flesh.
Li Wei was immediately stunned.
"Yu Tong, you... this is...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Yutong flashed and instantly appeared in front of Li Wei, using the incredibly fast-moving Swift Wind Walk.
A jade-like finger touched Li Wei's lips, silencing him.
A fragrant breeze wafted over, its power no less than a heavy hammer blow, striking Li Wei's heart. He suddenly felt a little dizzy, yet his body grew increasingly hot.
"Shh, don't talk." Zheng Yutong smiled charmingly, raised her head, and her short hair slowly swept across her smooth neck and chin, reflecting streaks of light under the lamp.
The light seemed to pierce through one's heart and stir one's nerves. Immediately, Li Wei lost control and his hands unconsciously reached out.
Upon seeing Li Wei's reaction, Zheng Yutong first smiled gently, then suddenly changed her expression and stepped back to avoid Li Wei's wolfish hand.
At the same time, she didn't notice that a hint of a smile flashed in Li Wei's eyes, but his expression remained one of utter astonishment, like a child who was about to receive a piece of candy being suddenly told that he wouldn't get it.
This is exactly the expression on Li Wei's face at that moment.
"Hmph, I thought you only had eyes for that girl Nina, but it seems I'm not so bad after all!" Zheng Yutong quickly put on her coat, her face flushed with anger.
Li Wei was inwardly groaning. Sure enough, Zheng Yutong's actions today were because of Nina's matter, and she was probably testing his patience and sincerity.
"Did Nina seduce you like this last time, and then you surrendered? Tell me, wasn't that right!" Zheng Yutong walked over with a cold expression after she finished dressing.
"I knocked her unconscious!" Li Wei said, shrugging his shoulders and telling the truth.
Zheng Yutong knew all this, of course. Nina had secretly told her about it a few days ago. In fact, it was quite remarkable that Li Wei could maintain his composure.
However, Zheng Yu and the others just felt uncomfortable.
The source of her discomfort was that Nina had told her about it, while Li Wei hadn't mentioned a word. She had kept the notebook she had taken from Li Wei's house a long time ago.
Whenever he couldn't sleep, he would take it out and look through it, reading the vivid descriptions of her feelings for him. Perhaps this had become a habit for her, but Zheng Yutong herself was unaware of it.
Although they rarely spend time alone together, fighting and killing for survival every day, the two seem to need little to no communication. Knowing that each other is safe brings them a great sense of security.
However, Zheng Yutong would still occasionally fantasize about what it would feel like to be in Li Wei's arms, but unexpectedly, that little girl Nina stole that experience from her.
This is the real reason Zheng Yutong was angry.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent; no one spoke.
At this moment, Li Wei did something that made Zheng Yutong's heart flutter: he suddenly disappeared from where he stood, and then she felt a pair of arms appear behind her and hug her tightly.
He wanted to say something more, but this time Li Wei simply covered Zheng Yutong's lips with his finger, holding her without saying a word.
As time went on, a faint scent filled the air. For the first time, Zheng Yutong felt as if she were melting. At first, she supported herself with her feet, but in the end, she leaned her whole body into Li Wei.
She had an urge to turn around and hug this man tightly.
Li Wei felt the same way. Unlike when he held Nina, when he held Zheng Yutong, all he could feel, besides a primal desire, was some pain.
A minute later, Li Wei's hand moved, slowly climbing up to the woman's chest in his arms. When he touched that mound, even through her clothes, Li Wei could feel its softness. The woman in his arms seemed to be electrocuted, her body trembling, but she did not resist, only letting out a soft "hmm." If Li Wei had seen it, he would have seen Zheng Yutong, who was known for her coldness and composure, blush.
A surge of excitement traveled from Li Wei's palm into his body, spreading through his spinal cord and throughout his entire being, like a drug injection. After the intense pleasure subsided, an even more insatiable desire followed.
Li Wei's hand began to slip inside his clothes.
Just then, a pigeon flew in from outside the house, made a strange cooing sound, flapped its wings, and landed on Li Wei's shoulder.
Li Wei immediately withdrew his hand.
Zheng Yutong also hurriedly broke free from Li Wei's embrace, looking at the strange pigeon with a wary expression.
Li Wei's expression returned to normal, and he circulated his true energy, ready to launch an attack and kill the pigeon at any time.
However, what happened next surprised and even shocked Li Wei and Zheng Yutong.
Because this pigeon could speak human language.
"May you be well, my little friend."
Just from the voice, Li Wei's expression changed. He recognized the source of the voice, while Zheng Yutong looked puzzled, but this was clearly not the time to ask questions.
The pigeon continued, "In just a few days, the world has undergone tremendous changes. This is the will of Heaven. Since you and I have the opportunity to become reincarnated beings, we should follow the will of Heaven and make a difference in this end times."
"In this battle for Sand City, I foresaw that you would surely capture one city. It is crucial that Sand City not be lost, or great calamity will ensue. However, my calculations also indicated that I myself would soon face a similar calamity, hence this urgent message to you via a messenger bird, hoping you will come to my aid."
"We'll discuss the details in person. My location is..."
After a few words, the pigeon flapped its wings and flew away again.
This was indeed a brilliant move. The person who relayed the message must have possessed special skills and great abilities; at least Li Wei and Zheng Yutong had never seen anything like it before.
"Who is it? Do you know them?" Zheng Yutong had recovered from her emotional state and looked puzzled.
Li Wei nodded.
He recognized that voice, and that unexpected technique was something only that person could possess. More importantly, only that person would address him as "little friend."
That person was the Daoist.
A reincarnator who is over 100 years old but has the appearance of a middle-aged man, with unfathomable strength, is skilled in Daoist and metaphysical research, and possesses a powerful item such as the Demon Refining Pot.
What kind of difficulties would such a strong person encounter?
Furthermore, how did the Daoist find himself?
Regardless, the initial excitement in his heart had completely vanished. Looking at Zheng Yutong, who was about to leave, Li Wei sighed and thought to himself, "Daoist, why did you have to send a message at this crucial moment?"
Then, a thought crossed Li Wei's mind, and he wondered uncertainly, "Could it be that the Daoist Daoist had planned for today's situation? If that's the case, then you've ruined someone else's good deed."
However, no matter what, Li Wei couldn't just leave it alone. After all, the Daoist was both a teacher and a friend to him, and the Daoist had saved his life. Just for that reason alone, he had to go.
But before that, Li Wei had some things he needed to do. Originally, these things weren't urgent, but now it seemed he had to hurry.
Li Wei moved into a room overnight and didn't emerge until dawn, rubbing his temples. Behind him were seventeen Abomination of varying sizes.
These were all made by Li Wei using the corpses of subterranean demons he had collected. Their combat power was comparable to that of the Abomination from World of Warcraft, but their bodies were much tougher and their defenses were much stronger.
After handing sixteen of them over to Zheng Yutong, Li Wei kept one enormous, two-winged, Abomination.
Li Wei had never been to the location mentioned in the Daoist's message. Although he could Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to the nearest city, it would still be a long journey. Therefore, this Abomination with the ability to fly was Li Wei's means of transportation.
This Abomination had its outer skin made from the pelts of a dozen Hellhound, but its skeleton was made from the pelts of a giant two-headed hound. As for its wings, they were made by Li Wei, who captured a giant blind man and plucked off its wings before sewing them on.
In response to the Daoist's warning that Sand City must not be lost, Li Wei secretly mobilized his Corpse Gatherer and the Blind Man to the area around Sand City. With Zheng Yutong and others stationed inside the city, plus the sixteen Abomination, safety was basically ensured. Unless one was a master of the Blink or even Bow level, it was practically impossible for anyone else to attack the city.
Seeing the hint of resentment in Zheng Yutong's eyes, Li Wei quickly mounted the Abomination and activated the Shifting Forms and Changing Positions.
The next second, he was already thousands of miles away.
