The flying boat sets off.

In a burst of turbulence, the bone wings on the side of the ship opened, and the surrounding clouds were entwined. Driven by the formation, it rose to a higher place.

From here to the Eastern Desert, it takes two days, so those who take the airship will reserve a room on the airship for rest during the journey.

Not long after, the people standing on the deck dispersed and went to their respective rooms.

Mu Zhi stood on the side of the boat, looking at the flowing clouds ahead.

Dong Qiong folded his hands on his shoulders and said beside him, "Mu Zhi, let's go to rest too."

Mu Zhi said softly: "You go first, I'm not tired yet."

Dong Qiong's eyeballs rolled, and he joked, "Why, you're not afraid of me, are you?" His tone was relaxed, "I won't eat you up."

Mu Zhi glanced lightly from the corner of his eye.

The smile on Dong Qiong's face was bright, and his eyes were sincere, like a little sun, unable to detect any haze.

From the outside, it looks like this.

But Mu Zhi faintly felt that something was wrong.But let him say it, but he can't give a specific reason.

He suppressed this thought and replied, "I'll take a look at the scenery again."

Dong Qiong didn't force it, just stood aside and waited.

A gust of wind swept over, blowing away the thin clouds in front of him, and bringing a stream of moist water vapor head-on.

Mu Zhi lowered his head.

The mountains, rivers and rivers below turned into a tiny black spot, flashing past in the field of vision.

In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened.

The sun sets and the crescent moon rises.

Stars twinkle in the sky.

There were not many people on the deck of the flying boat, only Mu Zhi was still standing still, with his eyelids lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

Dong Qiong sighed: "Okay, Mu Zhi."

Mu Zhi turned his cheek.

Dong Qiong lowered his head pitifully: "I know you don't want to live with me, but there is only one room, and I can't help it." He blinked, "Or, you live alone, and I will call at the door. Just a nap."

Dong Qiong looked like a dog wagging its tail, with moist eyes, and said seriously: "The wind is so strong and so cold, it will freeze you to death, I will feel distressed."

Mu Zhi inexplicably felt a sense of disobedience.

But still the same as before, I can't find where the violation is.

He stared at Dong-joon intently.

Dong Qiong asked strangely: "What's the matter?"

Thoughts flashed through Mu Zhi's mind like an electric shock.

Dong Qiong grew up in the same nest as him, and this trip was arranged by the demon king, so there is no possibility of any accidents.

So Mu Zhi settled down: "It's okay."

He walked towards the cabin.

The guest room is on the second floor of the cabin.

creak-

Mu Zhi pushed open the door.

The candlestick placed on the table lit up with a bang, illuminating the room.

He stepped over the threshold and walked in. Directly opposite the door was a screen with a picture of a begonia sleeping in spring drawn on it.Across the screen, there are shadows behind, and various furniture are placed.

Mu Zhi took a look, then looked away, and saw that Dong Qiong was really standing at the door, watching helplessly, without taking a step in.

Deep dew at night.

Even though the flying boat was protected by a formation, the coldness still couldn't stop creeping in, and it didn't take a moment to stand outside to send chills all over the body.

Mu Zhi hesitated for a moment: "Dong Qiong, you... just come in."

Dong Qiong looked down at her toes, her braids dangling from her ears, her expression was lonely: "No way. I know you don't like sleeping with me..."

Mu Zhi proposed a compromise solution: "I'll just sleep on a small couch."

Dong Qiong quickly said: "No, no, I'll just sleep on the small couch!"

As he said that, he was afraid that Mu Zhi would repent, so he jumped into the room in three steps at a time, and closed the door heavily.

The door of the room was closed, leaving no gaps, so that outsiders could not see the scene inside.

Candles flickered.

Two shadows were reflected on the window paper.

The shadow was extremely close, as if extremely intimate.

People in the room are talking.

If you stand under the corridor, you can hear the whispers floating in it.

"Muzhi, do you hate me?"

"……No."

"Then you used to sleep with me, why are you so alienated from me now? Is there something I did wrong?"

"...It has nothing to do with you."

"Then give me a hug."

"..."

"We used to gather together in the bird's nest to help comb each other's feathers! Otherwise, you will change into your original form and comb for you."

Dong Qiong is still pretending to be crazy and foolish, obsessing over Mu Zhi.

After saying a few words, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and the whole room was plunged into darkness, and even the voice of speaking became quieter.

I don't know if Dongqiong succeeded in the end.

The night wind blows.

The lantern hanging in the corridor swayed slightly, causing the fire to sway.

Between the interlacing of light and shadow, a figure walked out slowly, and finally stood in front of the window, motionless like a sculpture.

The night is deep.

Standing under the darkness, the humidity pervaded the air, but in the blink of an eye, a little bit of cold dew condensed on the window sill, revealing a sense of coldness.

There was a thin layer of frost on Gu Lingyun's shoulders and hair, but he didn't notice it at all, and he still stood upright.

Although there is only a layer of window paper, but listening to the cheers coming from the house, it seems like you are in two worlds.

Gu Lingyun slowly clenched the hand hanging by his side, and a bloody smell rose from his throat.

This is his Muzhi.

Now it's so close to someone else.

But he was not qualified to stop it.

He couldn't even appear beside Mu Zhi.

What Dong Qiong said before is vivid in his memory.

——In your life, you will never be able to stand beside Mu Zhi openly.

It could have been.

But Mu Zhi, who would call out "Xianzun" in a soft-spoken manner, and would come to courteously and cutely, was lost by him.

The little bird flew away and never came back.

Even if you come back, you can't get back to the way you used to be.

Gu Lingyun's heart ached, his pupils sank, and his emotions surged like a wave.At that moment, he even wanted to draw his sword and break into the door to bring Mu Zhi out.

But as soon as this idea came up, he was forced to suppress it.

No.

At least... not yet.

Gu Lingyun raised his hand to his lips, coughed subduedly, and slowly suppressed all his emotions.His face was stern and his eyes were calm.But this calm is false, under the sea, there are still dangerous undercurrents and terrifying waves.

The night was darker.

Gu Lingyun's figure was tall and straight, under the lantern, the shadow slowly elongated without taking a step away.

Mu Zhi huddled under the quilt and didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Indistinctly, there was always a faint coughing sound in his ears.

This movement is somewhat familiar, as if... Gu Lingyun sent it.

How could Gu Lingyun be here?

Mu Zhi only thought it was an illusion, closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.

Asleep is fine.

As long as you are asleep, you won't have hallucinations.

Mu Zhi's breathing gradually calmed down, but there was still a slight crease between his brows, as if he had not slept peacefully.

In the dark night, a figure quietly appeared at the head of the bed.

Dong Qiong stood there, looking straight at Mu Zhi with a pair of golden pupils.

Mu Zhi was lying on the bed, her crow-blue hair spread out, soft and smooth like fine silk.

Dong Qiong stared at it for a moment, then hummed a gentle tune—it was a song for sleeping.

Surrounded by the singing, Mu Zhi's eyebrows relaxed, and he fell asleep completely.

Dong Qiong bent down, gently inserted his fingers into Mu Zhi's hair, and combed it down slowly: "Mu Zhi..." He no longer has the sunshine and sincerity of the day, his eyes are full of paranoia and madness , "You are mine now."

"Finally...it's mine alone."

Wake up.

Mu Zhi opened his eyes, and saw the sunlight slantingly shining through the window, and dust floating in the air.Immediately afterwards, Dong Qiong's face came into view: "Mu Zhi, good morning!"

Mu Zhi was half a beat behind: "...Morning."

Dong Qiong said cheerfully: "You can go to Dongmo in the afternoon."

Mu Zhi: "So fast?"

Didn't you say it would take two days?It's only half of the schedule now.

Mu Zhi pushed the door and went out, looking down from above, the deck was already bustling with people, full of conversations.

"I've been on a flying boat so many times, and it's the first time it's so fast."

"Yeah, it's really weird."

"What's so strange? On the way to Dongmo, there were big monsters haunting. Last time, a flying boat was damaged. This time, we specially sped up the formation to avoid accidents."

"What kind of monster? It sounds scary."

"I don't know, no one has seen its true colors."

"However, I heard that there is a Mozun from the Yao clan in Dongmo, so it must be the same one, right?"

Mu Zhi's eyes and ears are sharp, and the sound of the conversation has been absorbed into his ears as soon as he turns his consciousness.

This is the second time he heard about the "big demon", he couldn't help being curious, and turned to Dongqiong, "Do you know what they said?"

For the past hundred years, Dong Qiong has been staying in Dongmo, so he should know some inside information.

Dong Qiong was pinching his braids, the golden and red feathers hanging on it were shining brightly, his eyeballs rolled: "I haven't heard of it, but what they said is so scary. When we get to Dongmo, we will have tens of thousands of dollars." Be careful, don't be caught by the big monster."

He touched his jaw with the tip of his tongue, and said with a smile, "You know, the big demon likes small birds with thin skin and tender meat the most."

Mu Zhi frowned, feeling that there was something in Dong Qiong's words.

Before he could think about it, Dong Qiong changed the subject: "Dongmo is here!"

The voice fell.

The flying boat shook violently, the surrounding bone wings were retracted, and with a "bang", the whole flying boat sank suddenly.

The clouds quickly dissipated.

Mu Zhi stabilized his figure, and when he got used to the bumps, the blue sky in front of him was replaced by desert yellow sand.

The flying boat stopped.

The formation was withdrawn, and a scorching breath rushed towards his face, and every breath brought a burning feeling.

The monks felt unwell, and either used aura to protect their bodies, or used arrays to block the heat.

Mu Zhi's body is a phoenix, which was originally born from fire. Facing the arid and hot desert, he is like a fish in water.

Dong Qiong stepped on the fence: "Let's go, Mu Zhi." As he said, he jumped down from above and stepped on the hill with one foot.

Mu Zhi followed closely behind.

His body was light, skimming across the yellow sand without leaving even a trace.

"Where are you going now?" Mu Zhi asked.

Dong Qiong raised his hand and pointed to the east: "Go to Sand Lion City."

Mu Zhi looked over.

The sun was rising in the east, scorching hot.

Across the endless yellow sand, a vague silhouette can be seen standing in it, which looks like a hunting lion.

Not only did Mu Zhi and Dong Qiong's destination be Shashi City, but many monks who got off the airship together also rushed in this direction.

The place where the flying boat docked is still some distance away from Sand Lion City.

A group of people were walking in the desert, looking down from above, it looked like a bunch of ants moving.

The desert sun is hot.

Someone complained: "Why doesn't the flying boat stop directly at Sand Lion City, but at this ghostly place where no bird shits?"

The others laughed and explained his confusion: "Sand Lion City is full of oolongs. It can be said that it is the base camp of demon cultivators. Feizhou dare not approach it."

The way of cultivating demons is wild, which is incompatible with the mainstream sects in the cultivation world. In addition, demon cultivators are full of talents. They are either wanted or hunted down, so they can survive in this desolate eastern desert.

And these monks were either exiled because of a mistake, or they came to Dongmo to dig treasures to try their luck.

All in all, they are all a group of desperate masters.

Standing among them, Mu Zhi seemed to stand out from the crowd, especially conspicuous.

Before he was halfway there, peeping eyes were cast from time to time from all around, with clearly malicious intentions.

Mu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable, and whispered to Dong Qiong: "Let's go first."

Dong Qiong's eyes were a little strange: "I can't go anymore, a sandstorm is coming."

The sky suddenly darkened.

An ominous dark red streak appeared on the originally blue sky, and a gust of wind blew out of nowhere on the sandy ground, blowing the sand and gravel into pain.

The sandstorm rolled in, covering the sky and covering the sun, as if it could devour and tear everything in front of it.

Under such a force of nature, manpower is so insignificant.

"Find a place to hide!"

Everyone was in an uproar and hurriedly looked for a hiding place.

I don't know who shouted: "There is an oasis here!"

These words were like a bright light in the dark night, immediately let everyone find their destination, and rushed towards the oasis.

The oasis is lined with trees, forming a natural barrier to keep the sandstorm out.

A group of people entered it in time, and luckily picked up a life.

Mu Zhi shook off the gravel from his body, and looked up.

The sandstorm didn't go far, and it kept raging nearby. The sky was gloomy, and the trees were rustling.

Dong Qiong said meaningfully: "It seems that we are going to stay here for a while."

This is both an oasis and an island.

In a closed space, it will often arouse the greed in the heart and do some unexpected things.

Dong Qiong was pinching her braids, and the gold rings on her wrists were shining brightly.He glanced back calmly.

Gu Lingyun did not appear.

Probably because he was afraid of being discovered by Mu Zhi, he fell behind for a certain distance, blocked by the sandstorm, and did not enter the oasis in time.

Dong Qiong licked the corner of his lips, smiling a little strangely.

There are many variables.

Looks like it's going to get more interesting.

"Mu Zhi." Dong Qiong approached and whispered, "When I was in Wutong Township, I always gave you half of the delicious food, do you remember?"

Mu Zhi felt a puff of breath on the side of his ear, a little numb and itchy.

He avoided it, not understanding why Dong Qiong said that, and lowered his eyes: "Remember."

Dong Qiong laughed, showing a row of white teeth: "Mu Zhi, I really like you, no matter what good things are, I want to give you half of them."

Mu Zhi was puzzled: "What?"

Dong Qiong tilted his head: "Wait a minute, you will know."
