Chapter 1004: Chapter 48: Is There Really a Path to Immortality in This World? (10)

A sense of extraordinary pressure was spreading toward Mo Mo, which even reminded him of the duel with Prince Baihu Huang Baifu not long ago.

Could this seemingly frail girl before him… this girl who looked even younger than him, actually be compared to Prince Baihu Huang Baifu?

Mo Mo nervously gripped the peculiar black wooden sword given to him by the Lord of Ghost City, Xiao Shengmo—his only equipment at the moment.

Without talismans, the Taoist Master was essentially deprived of half of its combat power.

But how did this white-haired girl appear here? Mo Mo only remembered her from before his duel with Huang Baifu.

At that time, he even asked Captain Ling Feng of the Management Bureau to investigate a theft. Unfortunately, after the duel with Huang Baifu, he fell unconscious, and upon waking, he immediately joined the exploration of the Mysterious Cave Mansion. Later, Zhan, by chance, obtained the Imperial Edict and took Zhan away… making Mo Mo almost forget about the event of the theft that day.

“The Demon and Daoist Realms have clear rules prohibiting mutual slaughter… Are you openly breaking the agreement?” Regardless, Mo Mo calmed down and attempted to probe the reality of this white-haired girl with his words.

“Oh? What agreement are you talking about?” The white-haired girl nonchalantly said while chewing gum, “But it doesn’t really concern me; I’m not one of them.”

The strange long sword was dragging on the ground, making a sharpening sound that made Mo Mo break into a cold sweat. At his level of cultivation, his perception of the environment and danger was far beyond that of ordinary people.

At that moment, Mo Mo felt there was nowhere to escape—as if the space around him had been completely locked by numerous terrifying auras.

It was like ice cones shooting up from the ground, completely locking him in place, sending a penetrating chill through Mo Mo.

The white-haired girl’s smile became more radiant.

But Mo Mo, at this moment, let out a low growl. His vigorous mana erupted from his body, fiercely pushing away the chilling sensation. He held the mysterious wooden sword wrapped in cloth and breathed steadily.

“Oh, much better than that big white cat just now, probably quite valuable.” The white-haired girl’s lips curled slightly upward.

The tension was palpable!

Unexpectedly, the white-haired girl’s nose twitched as if she smelled something, and the intense pressure that made Mo Mo extremely tense suddenly disappeared.

This caught Mo Mo off guard, but he saw the sweet-looking yet ruthless white-haired girl suddenly approach him, tiptoeing to sniff at him.

This one… is behaving like a cat.

“Such a familiar perfume scent…” The white-haired girl frowned, then seemed to suddenly realize, “Did you recently meet a terrifying woman?”

“A terrifying woman…” Mo Mo subconsciously looked at the white-haired girl before him, not knowing why her attitude changed so drastically, but if one were to say terrifying woman—wasn’t it her right in front of him?

The white-haired girl said, “Golden hair, always smiling, but very dangerous, very dangerous, right?”

Golden hair, always smiling… could it be that maid in Senior’s shop.

“You… you know Senior?” Mo Mo blurted out in surprise, “And that lady?”

“Calling her Senior?” The white-haired girl squinted her eyes, giving Mo Mo a once-over, then suddenly asked, “Are you one of the store people?”

Mo Mo shook his head.

The white-haired girl asked again, “Have you ever bought anything from the store?”

Mo Mo still shook his head.

Suddenly, the white-haired girl’s eyes twinkled with a smile, “What do you say? Are you interested in teaming up with me to make some money together? We could go wild farming nearby; there’s plenty of small coins around!”

“…Huh?”

“I’m hungry; let’s go get a drink first!” The white-haired girl swung the long sword in her hand, sending a gust through the dark alley. After that, she sheathed the sword directly into the painting tube on her back.

Then she began walking toward the alley’s exit.

“W-wait a second!” Mo Mo hurriedly secured his wooden sword and chased after her… this strange girl seemed to know a lot about the Senior.

He hesitated, looking back at the corpse of the White Tiger Clan member, frowning… ultimately, Mo Mo decided against dealing with the body.
