Chapter 208: Meeting the Deception Beast Again, the Universe Returns

Once the story was finished and they had rested for a moment, Ajin reminded Lingxiang that it was time to set off. He was not a man of many words, but given Lingxiang's current condition, he had no choice but to speak up.

Thus, the three of them began their journey again. They did not know how long they had walked when Ajin suddenly stopped, freeing one hand to block Zhao Wuyang, who was walking ahead.

Zhao Wuyang was very confused; since Lingxiang was severely injured and needed continued treatment, why stop? Just as he was wondering, he heard a rustling sound from ahead, and looking over, he saw the bushes shaking.

Something was coming!

Zhao Wuyang immediately became alert and habitually reached out to draw his sword, only to remember that his sword had long since shattered. He was greatly alarmed; if a monster were truly coming, he would have to fight it with his bare hands. But his hand-to-hand combat skills were not good, and if a powerful one came, he feared it would be difficult to deal with!

He turned his head to look at Lingxiang, hesitated for a moment, and then, as if having made up his mind, pinched a hand seal and held his breath, focusing his mind.

Just at this moment, he saw Lingxiang, whose hand was wrapped around Ajin's neck, also pinch a hand seal. The difference was that she did not have a solemn expression like Zhao Wuyang; instead, she wore a smile.

The reason Lingxiang was like this was that she had faintly heard some faint bell sounds. She was extremely familiar with these sounds; they were clearly the Mingchao Bell on the Universe Bag.

Seen in this light, the one coming was undoubtedly the Deception Beast.

It was not that Lingxiang did not trust Adao, but her mother had explained some things about the Deception Beast in her notes, and based on Lingxiang's understanding of the Deception Beast, Adao would definitely be unable to catch it.

Even a crafty rabbit has three burrows, let alone this rabbit that had lived for thousands of years; even a fox that had become a spirit would likely not be her match, let alone Adao, who had only just entered the Demon Path.

Although Adao's cultivation was a bit shallow, naturally speaking, driving away a rabbit was more than enough, especially since this rabbit had been neglecting its proper work for thousands of years.

The rustling sound grew closer. Zhao Wuyang stared with full concentration at the constantly approaching, shaking bushes, preparing to cast Witchcraft.

Suddenly, a massive rabbit darted out. Zhao Wuyang had never seen such a large rabbit, and for a moment he lost his focus, actually forgetting what he was supposed to do.

It was at this moment that he heard a loud shout from beside him: "Rise!" Water marks appeared all around the rabbit, and it actually floated up in mid-air.

Zhao Wuyang did not know how to describe the situation before him. Setting aside the size of the rabbit, this rabbit before him was actually wearing clothes. Its face was a rabbit's, yet it had its hair braided like a woman's, with two rabbit ears poking out from its hair, which were now drooping, and its eyes seemed to be filled with disbelief.

Just as Zhao Wuyang was full of astonishment, he heard Lingxiang speak from the side: "Hmph! In the end, you still fell into my hands!"

Zhao Wuyang turned his head to look at Lingxiang and saw her full of smiles, which made him even more confused.

"How is it? Is the Universe Bag easy to use?"

Easy to use, my foot! This lady spent ages on it and couldn't open it at all!

The Deception Beast had just recovered from her surprise, and hearing Lingxiang ask this, she began to curse in her heart. Although she knew the Universe Bag was no ordinary object, she had not expected it to contain such mysteries; it looked like nothing more than a bag, yet no matter what, she could not open it.

Hearing Lingxiang ask this, Zhao Wuyang immediately understood. This monster before him, which looked like a rabbit yet not a rabbit, and like a human yet not a human, was the Deception Beast that had snatched her Universe Bag. He just never expected that this Deception Beast would be a female.

A female swindler swindled something away from a female rascal; why did this matter seem more and more laughable the more he thought about it!
