Chapter 349: Can His Face Be Whiter Than Mine?
Long Fei Fei was very unhappy about failing so badly this time and kept shouting that she wanted another match.

Yu Zhao watched her quietly for a while and more or less guessed why Fang Cheng Lang had fallen in love with Long Fei Fei.

Influenced by her sect’s legacy, Long Fei Fei was rebellious and quirky.

Fang Cheng Lang, as the Senior Brother of Lone Moon Peak, was greatly valued by everyone in the Five Elements Dao Sect. He followed all the rules, restrained himself, and did not dare to take even one wrong step.

When two people with completely opposite personalities collided, it was only natural that they would spark something earth shaking.

Their time together in the past had been like a sky full of fireworks blooming at once. After it ended, only endless gloom and sadness remained.

“You, why are you looking at me with that kind of gaze? I’m not interested in women,” Long Fei Fei said.

She stared at Yu Zhao with a wary face and even shrank back a little. But deep in her eyes, there was still a hint of teasing.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhao leaned forward, hooked a finger under Long Fei Fei’s chin, and stared at her without blinking.

The teasing in Long Fei Fei’s eyes turned into fear. Her pupils trembled uneasily.

In the distance, Ji Han Zhou suddenly stood up. The shock in his eyes was no less than Long Fei Fei’s.

He took two steps forward without thinking, then was stopped by an invisible force.

“Junior Brother Ji, when your heart is restless, all things are in chaos. When your heart is calm, all things are at peace,” someone said.

Ji Han Zhou’s body froze where he stood. After a few breaths, he sat back down again, but his gaze stayed fixed on Yu Zhao and Long Fei Fei.

“Long Fei Fei, let’s make a deal,” Yu Zhao said.

She had only meant to scare Long Fei Fei a little so the girl would put away her small schemes.

Seeing that the fright had cleared Long Fei Fei’s gaze, Yu Zhao let go of her and spoke slowly.

Long Fei Fei was still a bit shaken, but her instincts from walking the edge of life and death for many years made her mind start working very fast.

“What do you want me to do?” she asked.

“Help me find a place. If you can find it, I’ll let you go,” Yu Zhao said.

Even before Yu Zhao knew the thief was Long Fei Fei, she had already come up with this plan in her heart.

Who could be better at studying the environment and finding hidden entrances than the Heir of the Lightfinger Sect?

“Sure,” Long Fei Fei answered at once, without even trying to bargain with Yu Zhao.

Yu Zhao smiled and asked: “You’re that confident you can do it?”

“As long as I, Long Fei Fei, am here, there is no place I can’t find, unless that place doesn’t exist!” Long Fei Fei said.

She was full of confidence in her own skills. What really bothered her was that Yu Zhao dared to doubt her.

“You should first remove the shackles on my hands and feet,” she added. “They hold me back. If I can’t find the place then, don’t blame me for it later.”

“No problem,” Yu Zhao said.

She flicked her fingers.

Long Fei Fei at once felt all the restraints on her body disappear. Her eyes rolled, and she moved her wrists as if they hurt, muttering in a low voice: “You are way too…”

Bang.

The yellow sand under Yu Zhao and Long Fei Fei suddenly exploded, and countless grains of sand shot up into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Long Fei Fei’s figure blended into the swirling sand and became hard to tell apart.

“…easy to fool! And you think you can catch me? Maybe in your next life! Hahaha!” her wild voice laughed.

Her clear, bell like but arrogant laughter echoed over the desert.

Si Tu Jian Nan was furious and shouted: “Damn little thief, she got away again!”

He could not help feeling a bit of blame toward Yu Zhao. If she had handed the thief to him to watch earlier, none of this would have happened.

Si Tu Yu smiled slightly and said: “Uncle, she can’t get away.”

If Yu Zhao dared to unlock the shackles, that meant she definitely had a backup plan.

If she could catch that female thief once, she could catch her a second time.

Ji Han Zhou crossed his arms and let out a cold, disdainful snort.

“Ahhh! Stop! Stop it! I was wrong, I was wrong!” a scream rang out.

With that piercing cry, Long Fei Fei’s figure fell from the sky. She held her head in both hands and kept rolling and wailing on the yellow sand as sweat and tears rolled down together.

The people of the Si Tu Clan were all stunned by this scene, their mouths hanging open.

Si Tu Jian Nan looked at Si Tu Yu with a complicated gaze. Yu’er had really guessed right.

“Are you still going to run?” Yu Zhao asked.

“I won’t run, I won’t run!” Long Fei Fei shouted.

Her head hurt so much it felt like it was about to explode. She no longer had even the slightest thought of escape.

Only then did Yu Zhao stop triggering the Illusion Art she had planted on Long Fei Fei.

After the Illusion Art was lifted, Long Fei Fei knew she could not escape Yu Zhao’s grasp. She finally became quiet and honest and followed Yu Zhao and the others toward the middle of the Desert of Lost Souls.

Two days later.

Their group finally reached the location marked by Elder Gu.

But here, aside from yellow sand and the exotic beasts that lived in the desert, there was nothing. There were no signs of any ruins at all.

The people of the Si Tu Clan looked at one another.

Even Si Tu Yu, who trusted Yu Zhao completely, could not help but open her mouth and then close it again when she saw this.

Yu Zhao compared the markings on the scroll with their surroundings, looked around in a circle, and said firmly: “This is the place. Please search carefully and don’t miss even the smallest clue.”

If the entrance to the Ancient Dao Arena had been in some obvious spot, Elder Gu would not have failed more than ten times in a row.

Besides, even if this was not the entrance, it was definitely linked to Lou Yu Shan, because he had left a mark in this area.

The Si Tu Clan people still stood where they were and did not move. Ji Han Zhou and Bu Yan had already spread out and started searching on their own.

Si Tu Jian Nan and Si Tu Yu met each other’s eyes. Si Tu Yu gave him a nod. Only then did Si Tu Jian Nan wave his hand, and the Si Tu Clan people finally began to move.

Yu Zhao glanced at Long Fei Fei, who was putting on an uncaring face, and asked: “When are you going to act?”

“No rush. Let them search first. Only when they can’t find it can my skills really shine,” Long Fei Fei said, her brows dancing with excitement.

Yu Zhao’s gaze turned cold.

Long Fei Fei shivered and jumped to her feet at once, saying: “I’ll go right now!”

On the surface, she searched seriously, but inside she had decided she would only make her move at the very last moment. That way she could best show how important she was.

While Yu Zhao searched for the entrance to the Ancient Dao Arena in the Desert of Lost Souls, Hua Tu was also searching everywhere for Yu Zhao’s whereabouts.

Several demonic beasts crouched in a circle, all talking at once as they reported the information they had picked up to Hua Tu.

“One demon saw Yu Zhao and a bald guy go to Clarity Sound Temple,” one said.

“No, that’s wrong. She went to the northern region with a pretty boy sword cultivator!” another said.

“You’re both wrong. The news I heard clearly said she went to the Desert of Lost Souls!” a third argued.

Hua Tu hooked a Golden Needle Hedgehog toward him with one claw and said fiercely: “Repeat what you just said!”

The Golden Needle Hedgehog trembled and stammered: “Yu Zhao, Lord Yu Zhao, and a pretty boy sword cultivator…”

“Shut up!” Hua Tu roared.

He was so angry that he sprayed spit all over the Golden Needle Hedgehog’s face.

“What pretty boy sword cultivator!” he snapped. “How could his face be whiter than mine!”

“You can’t even tell a fake message from a real one. You’re so stupid!”

Even after scolding the Golden Needle Hedgehog, he still did not feel any better. His gaze swept over the other demonic beasts.

The demonic beasts all shrank their necks and lowered their heads, afraid that he would call their names.

“Why don’t I see Black Falcon?” Hua Tu suddenly asked.

The other demonic beasts slowly raised their heads and looked around.

Right, where was Black Falcon?

It had sharp ears and eyes, flew very fast, and was always the first to return with news. Today, it was strangely absent.

Hua Tu’s lips curled up, revealing a row of pale, sharp fangs. His tone turned cold as he asked: “Which direction did Black Falcon go?”

“To Barren Mountain,” came the answer.
