Chapter 429 Familiar and Strange
Chapter 429 Familiar and Strange
Not only Mu Ming, but everyone was startled.
The moment Lezhi stepped onto the vine ladder, the vines suddenly went berserk, twisting and waving wildly. As Lezhi passed by, they even bloomed flowers in a fawning manner, as if trying to show Lezhi's difference in this way.
Come on, let me walk you on a flower-lined path. —Wagi Fuji
Heaven knows, the house vine that has protected the Valley Clan since their inception has never blossomed.
Mu Ming and the others bulged their eyes and twitched their mouths, but Wu Mu Teng paid them no heed.
Seeing Lezhi standing there in surprise at the entrance, it took the initiative to wind its vines into a special seat and carried Lezhi past everyone's eyes. No one knew how it did it, but it actually let Lezhi experience a fully automatic escalator in Jormungand.
"Holy crap... what's going on?"
"what……"
"What's wrong... Pfft..."
Hearing the screams behind her, Lezhi, who had just sat down in her priority seat, quickly turned around to look. When she saw what was happening behind her, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It turned out that after successfully catching Rakuchi, Yuki Fuji retracted the vine ladder without any warning, catching the others off guard. Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough to avoid the tragedy of falling from a great height despite having wings.
Please be self-reliant and walk independently. Thank you! —Wagi Fuji
"Are you all alright?" Mu Ming steadied himself and glanced at Lei Xiu. He hadn't made a sound from beginning to end, and even though he had been tricked by Wu Mu Teng, his expression hadn't changed. After confirming that everyone at the scene was safe, he turned around and chased after Le Zhi without looking back.
Well, now he doesn't need to guess who Yuki Fuji is trying to curry favor with; the result is already obvious.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, hurry up. Don't let the guests arrive and the host fall behind."
"Oh."
Being pierced by the vines of one's own house is certainly not a glorious thing. The people of Yougu quickly regrouped and chased after them without stopping.
Fortunately, the Yagifuji Special Train was not moving very fast, probably considering the passengers' experience, and the group quickly caught up.
"Uh, are you guys alright?" Lezhi didn't want to speak, but it would seem heartless not to say something, even though speaking sounded like gloating.
It's better than saying nothing at all.
"Heh, we're fine." Mu Ming forced out the words, his smile a little stiff. "Are you comfortable sitting here?"
This is misplaced anger; Lezhi blinks and smiles without saying a word.
He didn't react, but Wu Muteng seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised a tall branch and lashed out at Mu Ming with a whip. The sound of the whip cutting through the air was like a whistle, showing that he was really going all out.
"Ugh, what am I doing... Okay, okay, I know, I was wrong, I apologize, I apologize, alright?"
The stubborn Mu Ming was chased and beaten by the wooden vines of his own house. When Mu Wen and the others saw this, they not only did not step forward to help, but also tacitly kept their distance from him, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
The branch only stopped when Mu Ming begged for mercy. It did not retreat, but stood by, watching him intently, waiting for Mu Ming to fulfill his promise.
Bad kids just need to be taught a lesson.
Seeing that he couldn't fool her anymore, Mu Ming could only stammer as he stepped forward. Amidst the mixed gazes of sympathy and amusement from the crowd, he whispered, "I'm sorry..."
After bickering for so many days, this was the first time she had heard Mu Ming back down. Le Zhi's eyes sparkled, and her mouth was practically stretched to her temples, but she still deliberately acted arrogantly, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Mu Ming gritted his teeth, his wings behind him forgetting to flap because he was so angry that he didn't hear Le Zhi's words. His body hovered in the air for a moment and he almost fell straight down.
"puff……"
Seeing their brother get the short end of the stick, Mu Wen and the others not only didn't help, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This was a deliberate attempt by Mu Ming's sharp tongue to get back at him, as even Mu Teng disliked Mu Ming's habit of being sarcastic.
People's hearts have changed. Mu Ming knew that if he continued like this, he would only become a laughing stock. With the entrance to the clan's territory right in front of him, Mu Ming dared not be perfunctory any longer, or he would lose face big time.
"I'm sorry." This was shouted out loud; no one believed Lezhi could say he couldn't hear it.
Lezhi pursed his lips, trying his best not to laugh out loud. He knew when to stop. "I understand."
That works too. Seeing the vines that were monitoring him retreat, Mu Ming, who was about to protest, immediately shut up. He couldn't afford to cause any more trouble.
I don't know what kind of spell Yuki Fuji was cast on, but why does he treat Rakuchi differently?
Although Lezhi does have some skills.
Mu Ming couldn't figure it out and could only feel frustrated. At that moment, Le Zhi was holding a vine and greeting the giant house vine in front of him. Sensing the energy from Le Zhi, the house vine seemed to be awakened and its body trembled involuntarily.
On this ordinary day, the Valley Clan experienced a small earthquake.
Ordinary clansmen came out of their homes to inquire about the situation. Meanwhile, the guards stationed at the entrance to the clan's territory had already spotted Mu Ming and his entourage returning.
At this moment, Yuezhi and his companions had reached the passage leading to the Yougu Clan. At the end of the passage was the entrance to the Yougu Clan.
Upon entering the passage from the outside, the difference in light caused a momentary visual discomfort. After everyone entered, the entrance behind them was covered by vines, and the walls on both sides of the passage were illuminated with soft light, just like the wooden and vine-covered rooms that Lezhi and his companions usually stayed in.
"Mu Ming, you're back."
"Mu Huai, it's me. Open the door, we have a guest."
"Welcome, guests!" Mu Huai, who was on duty, glanced at Le Zhi and Lei Xiu and immediately opened the gates of the clan's territory.
"Thank you." Lezhi nodded in thanks and returned a polite smile.
As the two figures passed each other, Lezhi's nostrils twitched, as if she smelled a familiar scent.
The fluffy ball on her head naturally wouldn't miss it either. After moving a distance from the doorway, Lezhi spoke softly, "Fluffy ball, can you smell it?"
"Tweet~"
"Right? I thought it was just my imagination."
"Tweet~"
The whispers between the person and the bird went unnoticed by Mu Ming and the others. Only Lei Xiu glanced at them sideways, suppressing his questions.
After they arrived at their lodgings and Mu Ming and the others took their leave, he casually asked, "What were you and Mao Qiu talking about just now? Did you discover something?"
"Oh, you saw it?" Lezhi wasn't very surprised. Lei Xiu had always been very perceptive to him, and he just thought Lei Xiu was being cautious. "It's nothing. Just now at the door, I think I smelled steamed buns on the person who opened the door for us." It was a very obvious smell of green peppers and eggplant, which he liked, so he realized it immediately.
"I thought I smelled it wrong, but the furball said it smelled it too, right, furball?"
"Tweet~"
"look."
Lezhi insisted that he wasn't lying, that he wasn't greedy, and tried his best to prove that it wasn't his fantasy.
Before Lei Xiu could even voice his opinion, Le Zhi felt frustrated again.
"But thinking about it, it seems unlikely. How could there be green pepper and eggplant buns here? Maoqiu, are we both hallucinating?" Lezhi grumbled.
"It's easy to find out." She reached out and pulled Lezhi up, gently tidying his slightly messy hair. "Alright, let's go. Just go ask. I'll go with you."
"Really, isn't this too abrupt? We just arrived." While making excuses with her mouth, her legs betrayed her, and as she spoke, Lezhi had already reached the door.
"will not."
So the next morning, as soon as Snow opened his stall, he was greeted by two new customers. "Welcome, what would you like?"
