Chapter 92 Arrival in Cloud City

"Didn't I tell you to run away in fear?" Shang Xingjian stopped teasing her to avoid actually getting beaten up in the end.

Cheng Mai silently watched Shang Xingjian. She had now realized that whether or not Shang Xingjian's words were trustworthy depended entirely on her own judgment.

"Fine, don't tell me then." Clearly, Cheng Mai didn't believe him.

Without offering any explanation, Shang Xingjian followed after them with his hands behind his back. "How did things go with your matter?"

“Progress is proceeding normally, everything is under control, and…” Cheng Mai was speaking when Shang Xingjian suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious. “What’s wrong?”

"Shen Luo is in trouble." Shang Xingjian said, then grabbed Cheng Mai with one hand and left.

The sounds of fighting could be heard in the dark, murky air of the mountains.

In his panic, Xiao Wang ran aimlessly, shouting that he was just a programmer who knew nothing but coding.

Shen Luo transformed into his true form and used true fire to burn the pursuing enemies, but because the people hiding in the shadows were too treacherous, he was already injured in many places.

"Stop howling, run!" Shen Luo shouted, suppressing her temper, as she listened to the tech ghost screaming even more miserably than the evil spirits she was burning. If it weren't for Cheng Mai saying that this was their company's number one tech person, she would have liked to swat him away with a wing, regardless of whether he would be annihilated.

Xiao Wang also wanted to run fast, but he really couldn't. He died young because he was sedentary!
A barrage of ice arrows rained down, specifically targeting Shen Luo's weak points. Shen Luo was hit in the wing and tumbled down. She transformed into human form, kneeling on one knee as the ice arrows hurtled towards her.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Luo's eyes. He clenched his fist, supporting himself on the ground, clearly preparing to deliver a powerful blow. He absolutely could not let these people take Xiao Wang away.

"You are so impudent!"

A golden light descended from the sky, and the next moment, Shang Xingjian stood in front of Shen Luo, his hands behind his back, creating a barrier that blocked the ice arrows.

"Shen Luo." Cheng Mai immediately went to help Shen Luo up and checked her injuries. There was blood flowing from her arms, chest, and waist.

Cheng Mai felt sorry for him.

This is an intuitive feeling. In her memory, Shen Luo is a very powerful being. She is a demon god who can burn down a mountain all by herself.

But now it is covered in wounds.

Shang Xingjian glanced back at Shen Luo, a hint of anger rising in his eyes. He hadn't even hit the little bird he'd raised; these people deserved to die.

"I'm fine, just superficial injuries. These things are sneaky; they can only hurt me because ice is my weakness. Otherwise, how could these things possibly be a match for me?" Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on Cheng Mai's shoulder to comfort him.

Shang Xingjian's hands, which were behind his back, tightened suddenly. The ice arrows that had been blocked outside the barrier did not disappear, but were bounced back.

A moment later, Cheng Mai heard a series of roars, as if he had been injured by something.

Cheng Mai: "He bounced back?"

It not only bounced back, but also killed the archer.

What exactly is Shanghang Jian?
Shang Xingjian withdrew his imposing aura, turned around and looked down at Shen Luo. Seeing the bloodstains on her clothes, he finally raised his hand to heal her wounds. "You little brat, don't tell anyone you're my disciple when you go out. You're so stupid."

Although the words were meant to be reproachful, Shen Luo listened with a smile.

She was the God's own disciple, and his only one.

"Hiss..." "Slow down." Cheng Mai said hurriedly when he saw Shen Luo gasp in pain.

Shang Xingjian raised an eyebrow and withdrew his hand that had been healing her. The next moment, Shen Luo transformed into a tiny phoenix, chirping softly in a babyish voice.

Those tiny, bean-sized eyes stared at Shang Xingjian, while her soft little paws rested on Cheng Mai's palm.

Cheng Mai looked at the adorable little creature in his palm and then immediately turned to Shang Xingjian.

"The injury is too severe, this will minimize the wound as much as possible. Since you like it so much, you can take it with you for the next few days." Shang Xingjian ignored Shen Luo's angry glare. This little bird dares to scheme against him?

Shen Luo trembled and buried her small body in Cheng Mai's palm, whimpering. "The boss is just bullying people."

Cheng Mai: "..." So cute, I want to pet him.

Cheng Mai thought for a moment and then took action, gently stroking her head.

Shen Luo: "..." She put her hands on her hips and glared at Cheng Mai, but because she was too fat and her legs were too short, she tripped and fell on her butt when she put her hands on her hips.

Cheng Mai couldn't help but laugh, and Shen Luo felt inferior.

Seeing that the boss and CEO Cheng had arrived, Xiao Wang finally felt relieved and quietly moved over, saying, "Boss, CEO Cheng."

Xiao Wang used to think that the boss was useless and just a mascot, but after today, he absolutely acknowledged that the boss was a powerful expert. There were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people chasing after them. The ice arrows were almost turning into a torrential rain, but their boss dealt with them in an instant and even killed them with the same arrows!

The key point is that the boss only stood there for a moment!
The boss's power is unfathomable.

"What exactly happened?" Shen Luo couldn't speak, so Cheng Mai could only ask Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang had been running for too long and was still in a sorry state. Upon seeing them, he collapsed to the ground. After calming down for a while, he slowly began to speak: "After Mr. Shen and I arrived here, we first went to find some wild ghosts to ask them if they knew anything about Xuanhe Technology. However, we found that there were almost no wild ghosts here. They were very wary of us. Later, an old man told us that they have a leader who is a thousand-year-old ghost who lives in these mountains. If we want to ask anything, we can come to this leader. They have a rule that they cannot say anything."

But who knew that the mountain was full of ambushes!
All of them!
As Xiao Wang finished speaking, he became increasingly angry. "How can they be so xenophobic! These people, no, these ghosts, no, the monsters here don't listen to any reason at all."

Xiao Wang was born in City A and died in City A. After his death, he was recruited into Xuanhe Technology. His life was almost uneventful. Apart from his untimely death, he could be said to have lived a peaceful and smooth life. When had he ever suffered such injustice?

“If the monsters here could reason with you, this wouldn’t be a lawless place.” Cheng Mai waved to Shang Xingjian.

Merchant Jian: "What?"

"Give me a purse, something soft." She knew that Shang Xingjian had one in his Qiankun bag.

Merchant Jian glared at the little bird with ill intent, but still took out a purse. It was made of cotton, and more importantly, it was a cylindrical bag than a purse.

Cheng Mai paused for a moment, surprised that Shang Xingjian had such an ugly thing.

However, the fabric was decent, so Cheng Mai took it anyway. "Did you sew this yourself?"

You could buy one for three cents on the street and it would look better than this.

Shang Xingjian raised an eyebrow, neither admitting nor denying it, after all, some people's lives are just like that.

Cheng Mai carefully placed Shen Luo into the bag, then hung it on the button of his coat before asking Xiao Wang, "So your original purpose today was to see that thousand-year-old ghost king?"
