This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world

Chapter 223 Closed Loop of Cause and Effect

An Ling and the other two flew among the clouds and arrived near the imperial capital in just one hour.

"Senior Seventy, thank you so much for coming with me." An Ling put away the broken stars and smiled at Seventy who emerged from the shadows.

Seventy snorted coldly and did not answer.

Shao Shuang'er looked at the familiar forest outside the capital, feeling dazed. How long had it been since she returned to the sect from Shao Mansion? Why did she feel like she was in another world?

She bit her lower lip and unconsciously touched the storage ring containing the longevity pill. Although the process was very tortuous, she really got the "chip" to exchange for freedom! This was the result she had imagined countless times in her dreams at midnight, and she actually did it!

Shao Shuang'er gently tugged at An Ling's sleeve. When she looked over, tears fell down. Seeing this, An Ling was a little flustered. She quickly comforted her, "Senior Sister! What's wrong with you?"

"Wu..." Shao Shuang'er sobbed and said, "Xiao Ling, I... I was able to get this elixir because of you. If it weren't for you, my strength wouldn't have improved so quickly. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have received the help of Senior Xie. I, I don't know how to thank you! Although I am just an ordinary person, if one day I can help you, I will definitely repay you with all my strength!"

"Sister, there's no need to talk about this between us," An Ling said, "I'm already very happy that you have this intention. Okay, you go into the city first."

Shao Shuang'er was surprised and asked, "Aren't you going in with me? It would be nice if you could have a meal at my house."

An Ling shook her head bitterly and replied, "No, and after you go home, try not to tell me about your relationship with me and what you saw and heard along the way."

Shao Shuang'er suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, and she angrily said, "Who do you think I am, Shao Shuang'er? Am I the kind of ungrateful person who can't tell good from bad? You saved me, you helped me, why can't I mention it?"

An Ling's lips trembled as she hugged Shao Shuang'er and whispered, "Because I am An Ling, you will suffer if you get involved with me. Now is your best chance to escape from this vortex. I know you are not afraid, but what about your family? What if they are threatened? Senior sister, please take good care of yourself and your family, okay?"

Shao Shuang'er was already crying and convulsing. An Ling, An Ling, how can I repay you? How can I let the best An Ling in the world get her own happiness?

An Ling felt very uncomfortable, but she was always a rational person. She gritted her teeth, pushed Shao Shuang'er away, and said with a forced smile, "Senior Sister, it's time."

"If this is what you want, I will do it." Shao Shuang'er laughed and cried at the same time. She slowly took two steps back. She pointed to her heart and continued, "But I will never forget this place."

……

Qishi scratched his head awkwardly, watching this drama of parting with old friends, and felt that he shouldn't be in the way here. He slowly moved to An Ling, who was still looking at Shao Shuang'er's back, and poked her with his elbow, whispering: "Why don't you go find her?"

"what?"

"Aren't you two deeply in love? Then why did you say such cruel words? She even cried when she left."

An Ling sighed and explained, "Senior, the reasons behind this are very complicated, and this is not heartless. We all know that she and her family cannot have anything to do with me. This is a practical reason, but no matter what, the friendship between us will not change."

Seventy frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't understand. I only know how to kill people."

"So, your previous life was too simple and too boring. It's okay. Life is so long, you will understand it one day." An Ling smiled at Seventy and walked forward.

"What the hell is that all about... And why should I listen to a little brat? Tsk, it's really annoying!"

……

The imperial capital is the heart of Daxuan. The towering city walls are in the shape of a standard rectangle, surrounding the entire imperial city. On top of the city walls, countless blue glowing formation patterns cover every brick wall like a spider web. Based on the city walls, a light blue spherical light shield protects the sky and underground of the imperial capital, isolating it from all evil spirits.

If you want to enter or leave the imperial capital, you need to show the "Zhengxuan Order" issued by the Great Xuanbu Tiansi. This token is a fantasy product that binds the identity of each person with the blood of the user. That is, one order is for one person and cannot be used by others.

If outsiders want to enter the imperial capital, they have to go to the Bu Tiansi office near the city gate to apply for their own Zhengxuan Order - of course, they have to pay for it.

Because of such harsh regulations, the imperial capital was built into an iron wall by the Astronomical Bureau and the Land Survey Bureau, and no one dared to invade the imperial capital.

"What should we do? Do we also have to get that token?" Seventy glanced at the noisy city gate and said nonchalantly.

"No need. I have the disciple token of Canglan Sword Sect, so I can go in directly. Besides, we are not here to enter the city this time."

"Then why are we still here?" Seventy asked curiously.

An Ling looked deeply at the land surveyor on duty not far away and whispered, "To confirm something."

……

Wu Yu, the captain of the Land Surveying Commissioner, stood in front of the official from the Astronomical Bureau, lowered his head with an expression of humiliation, and silently endured the man's arrogant insults.

"How many times have I told you that trash is trash, just like a bug can never become a dragon! I think your two eyes are not for use, but for beauty! Who is that? That is the future father-in-law of the emperor, Lord Shao!"

Wu Yu remained silent and did not respond.

"I think you should stop working and go home to farm." Wu Yu was scolded by the man for almost an hour and was spit on the face. He was hit hard both physically and mentally, and left the official residence in disgrace.

"Sir, do we still need to patrol outside the city?" The subordinate, who was wearing a brocade hat and a sable fur coat, with a sword and a knife slung across his waist and a spear in his hand, asked cautiously.

"Go." Wu Yu walked out with a cold face. He pressed down the sword at his waist, and the whole person was like a leopard ready to attack. "You are not allowed to eat until you finish your patrol today."

"...Yes!" The subordinate was silent for a moment, and then responded firmly.

Wu Yu took his men out of the city for patrol, riding the white cloud, checking whether the formation on the city wall was damaged, and then landing on the ground to check for possible hidden dangers in the corners.

They flew around the imperial capital and felt very tired, but there was nothing they could do. This was their daily job, and Wu Yu had been doing this thankless and hard work for nearly twenty years.

Now the sun had already set. He returned to the city gate and said to his men with a sullen face, "Disband where you are." After saying that, he did not move at all and stood at the city gate like a silent iron tower.

"Sir, what about you?" asked the brave subordinate.

"I will have to stand guard here for my colleagues for a while. You guys go first."

The people from the land survey station lined up neatly even when they were dismissed. After they walked away, they discussed this stubborn boss in low voices.

"Isn't this clearly bullying? The one guarding the city gate was Lord Wan, but I clearly saw him enter Qianyue Tower and have a good time."

"I can't help it. Our master is like this. He believes whatever others say. He also foolishly follows all the rules left by the boss. Alas, now he is being scolded by the white robe."

"A kind horse is often ridden, and a kind person is often bullied... I'll treat you today, let's go have a drink."

"Flowers?"

"Roll, roll, roll, of course it's vegetarian. How much do I earn in a month?"

……

Wu Yu looked at the young woman in front of him with confusion, feeling as if he had seen her somewhere.

An Ling asked: "Are you Wu Yu?"

"I am. The imperial capital prohibits all outsiders from entering. Please show me the Zhengxuan Order!" Wu Yu said in a law-abiding manner.

An Ling smiled strangely and continued, "Then do you still recognize me? Twenty years ago, I was a disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect who failed to fly his sword above the defense of the imperial capital."

Wu Yu originally wanted to scold An Ling for hindering the work here, but her words suddenly made him feel creepy.

He remembered clearly that not long after he started working at the Land Surveying Supervisory Office, he was assigned to the unskilled duty of guarding the sky above the magic circle because of his outstanding performance. For two whole years, nothing happened above the magic circle, except for that weird monk who caused him to lose his job!

"It's you!" Wu Yu drew out his knife and chopped over with a roar, but An Ling in front of him seemed like a black liquid and dissolved in front of Wu Yu.

A strange male voice laughed in his ear and whispered, "You are the only one here who can see my existence, but who will believe you? Who will believe the words of a person who is deeply trapped in hallucinations?"

Wu Yu completely collapsed, and the shadow of twenty years ago once again enveloped him.

……

Qishi clapped his hands and asked An Ling for credit, "How is it? Did I imitate it well?"

An Ling shook her head and said, "It turns out that I really traveled through time and space. The only witness still remembers me, and I also harmed him..."

Once, An Ling was pulled into Li Wanjian's memories by Shattered Stars. At that time, she was not sure whether it was an illusion or reality. The appearance of Wu Yu completely proved the authenticity of An Ling's brief travel through time and space.

"I'm sorry, if I have the chance, I will definitely..." An Ling sighed.
