Twisted Dreams-Chapter 178 - 150: Battle Beneath Changbai Mountain

Chapter 178: Chapter 150: Battle Beneath Changbai Mountain

Bai Mountain City, suburbs.

The night breeze was a bit chilly, but the scent of spring was strong.

Ye Fan led Qian Lele down from Changbai Mountain; there were few vehicles on the road, and it was pitch-black.

Lights were shining ahead, indicating that was Bai Mountain City.

Ye Fan was worried that his fearless Brother Monkey might come back to cause trouble, so he wanted to get Qian Lele to Bai Mountain City for peace of mind.

Besides, it was dark, and it wasn’t safe for a girl like Qian Lele to walk at night.

The two walked in silence, each lost in their thoughts.

Qian Lele glanced carefully at Ye Fan and whispered:

"Thank you for saving me."

Ye Fan shook his head bitterly.

Squeezed between the Demon Race and humans, he had thought it would be tough one day, but he hadn’t expected that day to come so quickly and straightforwardly offend his second brother.

"Beep beep."

A car horn sounded from behind.

They turned around to face the glaring headlights approaching from the front.

Qian Lele asked:

"Are they offering us a ride?"

In this kind of place, some drivers would stop to offer lifts when they saw someone, usually charging a reasonable fee.

Qian Lele waved her hand, and the car slowed down.

Qian Lele smiled:

"How about this, let’s go to Bai Mountain City together? I’ll treat you to a meal."

Ye Fan thought it was a good idea; he was feeling down and wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

The van stopped, and a woman in a black dress and sunglasses stepped out.

She had an air of mystery about her, quite unlike someone who would drive such a shabby van.

Ye Fan sensed something was off.

At that moment, the back door of the van opened, and two people emerged.

One was a man in a red dress with a bear hairclip.

The other was a boy in traditional Chinese clothing, wearing glasses, holding an oil paper umbrella.

Ye Fan’s pupils dilated intensely!

Evil Qilin?!

Qian Lele thought they were just passersby, and she smiled as she stepped forward and asked:

"Can you take us to Bai Mountain City?"

Evil Qilin grinned maliciously:

"Sure."

Qian Lele asked:

"How much does it cost?"

She was thinking of bargaining.

Evil Qilin pointed at Ye Fan:

"In exchange for his head."

In an instant, the man in the red dress drew a butcher’s knife from his waist, eyes bloodshot, and rushed towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shouted in surprise:

"Lele, run!"

Saying this, Ye Fan pulled out a Mother Talisman from his arms and tossed a Child Talisman at the red dress.

People unfamiliar with Talisman Sect disciples are often fooled by this tactic.

They think they can avoid injury by dodging or cutting down the talismans.

But the moment the talisman flies out, it’s already a lethal move.

The talisman burned, and the intense explosion sound left the red dress dazed.

The Mouse Girl elegantly raised her finger, and a tiny black mouse crawled from her collar onto her fingertip.

Then, the little mouse let out a screech.

In the dark, a squeaking sound rose and fell.

A rat horde!

Countless rats, from who knows where, were converging on the road!

Qian Lele turned pale, clutching her chest, retreating constantly, screaming while kicking away the approaching rats.

The rats’ main target was Ye Fan, and they gathered around him like a sea.

Ye Fan pulled out a bunch of talismans from his arms and flung them at the rat horde.

The rats were ordinary, and each talisman caused massive casualties among them.

For the moment, they were unable to deal with Ye Fan.

The Mouse Girl whispered:

"This is the highway; it’ll be troublesome if the Sheriff arrives later. This needs to end quickly."

Evil Qilin glanced at the just-recovering red dress and remarked disappointedly:

"Useless."

The red dress shouted angrily:

"What did you say?! If you’re so capable, why don’t you come? Don’t just run your mouth!"

Evil Qilin said no more and opened the oil paper umbrella.

Rich Ghost Qi surged, and the towering Eight-foot Bride appeared among the rat horde.

An ethereal voice echoed:

"Husband."

The red dress stared horrified at the Eight-foot Bride.

So this was the boy’s method?

Evil Qilin, with one hand in his pocket, pointed at Ye Fan:

"Trouble my wife."

The mouth of the Eight-foot Bride, revealed under the red veil, widened and twisted.

With a terrifying ghostly scream, the Eight-foot Bride rushed towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan realized things weren’t good.

He had seen the Eight-foot Bride’s power before.

Ye Fan whispered:

"Teacher, please trouble you."

Just as he was about to ask Mo Yulin for help, a childish voice echoed on the chaotic road:

"So many of you, bullying my third brother; do you think I don’t exist?"

Evil Qilin frowned at the source of the voice:

"Why is this Monkey here?"

The red dress and Mouse Girl looked astonished.

A small monkey engulfed in flames?

A demon?!

Ye Fan exclaimed with joy:

"Second brother! You’re not mad anymore?"

The Heartless Little Monkey, riding an old horse, gnawing on a peach, with a wooden stick on his shoulder, said nonchalantly:

"How can I not be mad?

You dared raise a hand against me for a human woman?

I treat you as my own brother, but you treat me like a cousin.

No choice, since you’re my little brother.

I can beat you up, but if anyone else dares, I’ll beat them up!"

Ye Fan grinned stupidly and said:

"Alright, brother, you can beat me to death later."

Mouse Girl whispered to Evil Qilin:

"I’ll handle that Monkey, you guys solve that kid quickly."

Evil Qilin’s face darkened, and he shook his head:

"Retreat."

Such a large-scale battle among Extraordinary beings, discovered by the Sheriff, wouldn’t be good for him.

On the surface, Evil Qilin was still at home cultivating.

The Security Administration knowing Evil Qilin was causing trouble everywhere would be a problem for the Xie Family.

The tiny mouse in Mouse Girl’s hand screeched again, and the rats’ eyes turned red, attacking more fiercely.

The red dress and the others got into the car.

Evil Qilin rolled down the window, smiling:

"This Monkey demon is named Heartless, right?

I’ll remember you; we’ll meet again."

The car sped away, leaving behind dust.

Evil Qilin, looking through the rear window, watched as the Heartless Little Monkey and the others quickly cleared the rat horde; his smile faded.

Evil Qilin glanced at the red dress:

"You go get the woman next to Ye Fan."

Evil Qilin heard from the Heartless Little Monkey that Ye Fan turned against him for that woman, indicating she was important to Ye Fan.

The red dress, originally recruited by Evil Qilin, having witnessed his strength this time, dared not say much more and nodded obediently.

...

Bai Mountain City Railway Station.

The Heartless Little Monkey, wearing a coat from goodness knows where holding cotton candy bought by Qian Lele, looked like a child in adult clothes.

He ate while mumbling:

"Better leave now; once I’m done eating, I’ll make sure to kill you."

Qian Lele covered her mouth, holding back laughter.

Ye Fan, slightly surprised, said:

"After all that happened, you don’t seem scared; you’ve got some guts."

Qian Lele pouted:

"Once someone is chased by ghosts, they kind of become immune to other fears."

Qian Lele checked the time and said:

"I planned to treat you to a meal.

Well... next time.

When you come to the South Sea next, be sure to call me."

Following Ye Fan around was too dangerous; Qian Lele suddenly felt a bit sorry for these Extraordinary beings.

Though living in a civilized world, they’re constantly surrounded by life-and-death crises.

Ye Fan said:

"Alright, I hope you can keep this trip to Changbai Mountain a secret."

Qian Lele nodded earnestly:

"Don’t worry; I won’t reveal a word."

The Heartless Little Monkey murmured:

"The cotton candy is almost gone; if you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late."

Qian Lele quickly ran off.

Soon, she returned, with two large cotton candies in hand, stuffing them into the Heartless Little Monkey’s hands.

The Heartless Little Monkey stood there dumbfounded, looking at Qian Lele.

Qian Lele patted the Heartless Little Monkey’s head and playfully winked:

"Thanks for sparing my life too."

After saying that, Qian Lele waved to Ye Fan and entered the station.
