The End Times as a Song

Chapter 444: Unsurmountable hurdles

The name Qingqiu was an insurmountable obstacle for Tu Shanyan. He couldn't get over it as soon as he heard it. He stared wide-eyed at Yan Cai and retorted without any politeness.

"Hmph...! Interesting...? Fangcao Village...? What is that...?" Yan Cai couldn't help but speak up when she saw Tu Shan Yan's perfunctory attitude and his vehement denial of his identity as the young master of the Nine-Tailed Fox of Qingqiu. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, snorted coldly, and retorted to Tu Shan Yan's words in a very professional manner.

Tu Shanyan glared at Yan Cai and sneered, "What? You don't even know Fangcao Village? It's a beautiful and mysterious place, much better than your lousy Qingqiu."

Yan Cai retorted defiantly, "Hmph, enough nonsense. Who do you think you are? Just a little nine-tailed fox, how dare you talk back to me?"

The two argued fiercely, neither willing to back down, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

"And what are you...? You look decent enough, but why don't you use your brain when you talk?" Tu Shanyan suddenly got angry and retorted without any politeness.

Yan Cai was caught off guard by his sudden counterattack, but quickly recovered: "Tu Shan Yan, you really don't learn the good things, you only learn the bad things. You're so sharp-tongued, you're a disgrace to the Nine-Tailed Fox of Qingqiu...!"

Yan Cai said angrily. She originally thought Tu Shan Yan was just an ordinary demon, but she didn't expect him to be so troublesome. What angered her even more was that Tu Shan Yan had disrespected her, which was an insult to the entire Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

However, Tu Shanyan did not back down. Instead, she responded even more firmly, "I'm telling you, girl, can't you understand human language? Is your brain mush? I'll say it again, I'm not from Qingqiu, and I haven't disgraced Qingqiu. Besides, what business is it of yours what I do with Qingqiu...?"

Tu Shanyan's words were sharp and direct, striking at Yan Cai's weak point. Yan Cai's face turned red with anger, and he was about to step forward to refute Tu Shanyan's words, but Li Luo grabbed him first.

Li Luo knew that it was not the right time to clash with Tu Shan Yan, as she worried that the situation would become even more difficult to manage. Therefore, she decided to take Yan Cai back first to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"Ah Cai, Ah Cai, listen to me, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't say anything...! Ah Yan, he finally came back...! Don't take him away...! I won't be able to explain myself! Please understand me...!"

Li Luo reluctantly asked Yan Cai for help. Yan Cai glanced at the humble Li Luo and felt a little sorry for her.

"Alright! For your sake, I won't mention Tu Shanyan."

"My Ah Cai, you're the best to me."

"By the way, A-Cai, is there something you need to do to leave Qingqiu?"

Li Luo held Yan Cai's hand, acted coquettishly towards Yan Cai, and asked Yan Cai curiously.

“I’ve come out to meet you…! Qingqiu territory isn’t far, it’s just ahead. Why are you taking so long to travel such a short distance?”

Yan Cai held Li Luo's hand back, smiled slightly, her smile as bright as the sunshine. She asked Li Luo, puzzled.

"Sigh, it's all because of that little girl. She kept dawdling along the way, which wasted a lot of time."

Li Luo sighed and said helplessly.

"Oh? Little girl? Who is she?"

Yan Cai asked curiously.

"That little girl who was with us, what was her name again...right, it's Hu Yaoyao."

Li Luo replied after remembering.
