It was very late at night when I returned to the inn. Along the way, Peanut Fruit was holding the Aqua Eyes Water Cloud Beast, looking at me blankly. Liu Cui Yu's strike only caused the Beauteous Eyed Water Cloud Beast to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, there were no major injuries. On the contrary, it was Peanut, who rarely said a word.

　　Turning into the alley, not far away was the Mighty Wind Inn. Peanut Fruit finally couldn't help himself and called out, "Little brother, oh no, big brother Lin Fei, I really couldn't have thought even if I broke my head, that you would be so powerful, defeating that surname Liu!"

　　I blinked, "Where was I powerful? It's Liu Cui Yu who's too bad, in your place you'd still be able to beat him."

　　Peanut drummed his mouth, "Don't lie to me, I saw it clearly in the end. You easily kicked Surname Liu away with a single strike." Mimicking the posture of Phantom Dance, he kicked out a leg, and then said, "When I was leaving, Little Red Girl even said that you are skilled and must come from a famous family."

　　I hemmed and hawed, and Peanut Fruit looked at me excitedly, "Big brother Lin Fei, it seems like you used the Weapon Armour Royal Art to defeat Liu Cui Yu just now. Could it be that you're from the Luo Sheng Heaven and are from our Weapon Armour Royalty School?"

　　I shook my head, "I don't have a sect, I just happened to learn a little bit of the Weapon Armour Royal Art." Touching his head, I murmured, "Peanut, don't tell your grandfather about everything that happened tonight for now, okay?" I knew in my heart that once Peanut Pi knew that I knew the Weapon Armour Royal Art, it would be a bit troublesome.

　　Peanut Fruit's eyes darted around a few times and readily said, "No problem. But big brother you have to teach me the skills! Looking at you, you seem to know a lot of spells. Teach me, okay? Little brother will definitely treat big brother with respect."

　　I grabbed him by the hairline, "You're good at taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail. Well, I can teach you a few things when I have time, but you're not allowed to talk nonsense."

　　Peanut raised his hands in the air and cheered, when we arrived at the Mighty Wind Inn, Peanut Skin was still waiting for us in our room and went to bed at ease when he saw us, Peanut got under the covers and scowled at me for a while before he too huffed and puffed his way to sleep. I began to busy myself, looking for a thick stack of paper, each piece of paper is written on the notice: "Beautiful girls come quickly, reincarnated old man is looking for you!" The intention was to take advantage of the night and post it all over the Great Thousand Cities. If Gan Lime Zhen and the girls saw it, they would definitely know that it was me looking for them.

　　Holding the notice, I quietly walked out of the room. In the courtyard of the patio, an obese female demon was washing clothes, the large wooden basin in front of her was piled high with dirty clothes and bedsheets, and the frothy sewage overflowed over the rim of the basin, all the way to my feet.

　　I said in surprise: "Still working so late?"

　　The female demon looked sad, "How can I not do more? In Daqian City, the taxes paid by demons are twice as much as those paid by humans. Alas, you people won't understand how difficult it is to live on."

　　"I understand." I said ruefully and asked her again, "In that case, why don't you guys go back to Demon Shakra Heaven?"

　　The female demon let out a long sigh, "In the Demon Shakra Heaven, demons have always been weak and strong amongst each other, and demons with poor demonic power would have been killed by other demons long ago if they still stayed there."

　　I took the opportunity to pry, "I heard that the legendary Demon Lord has appeared, the current Demon Shakti Heaven and the past should be a bit different, right?"

　　"I think it's about the same." The female demon monster said listlessly, "It is said that three years ago the Sharrow Iron Tree blossomed and the Demon Lord appeared, but a few very powerful demons refused to submit and rebelled against the Demon Lord, causing a ruckus in Devil's Shakra Heaven. Now I don't know how it is." After a pause, she added, "What can the appearance of the Demon Lord change? We lowly demons will live a miserable life as usual."

　　I nodded and walked out of the inn, driving up the blowing winds and posting a search notice on every high wall within the Great Thousand City. According to what the female demon said, the Demon Lord hasn't united the Demon Shakra Heaven in these three years, so he shouldn't have much time to deal with the three beauties, so they must be safe and sound. After posting the last notice, it was already the third night. I flew back to the inn, quietly landed on the roof covered with tiles, and quietly looked at the night sky alone. It was nearing dawn, and there was one silent star still twinkling with white light.

　　"What are you thinking about?" Moon Soul suddenly asked.

　　"It's none of your business if I'm thinking about spring." I lazily said, "It's all because of you, causing me to give all my golden treasures to that little red, and become poor again."

　　Moon Soul hummed, "You're willing to do a losing business? When you walked out of the restaurant, didn't you take a few customers' purses by the hand?"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

　　I laughed and lay down on the roof, my head resting on my arms, "Moon Soul, you must have seen the Phantom Dance, right? Tell me something about Phantom."

　　Moon Soul was silent for a while and slowly said, "Phantoms are a group of creatures that love to wander and pursue beauty. The great sea at sunrise, the desert under the stars, and the tops of the snowy mountains where the moon rises, all leave behind their fluttering dance. Wherever they go, Phantoms will help the weak and the small, because they respect every kind of life in this world. In Phantom's eyes, there is no difference between high and low life."

　　I mocked, "So Phantom likes to be chivalrous."

　　Moon Soul continued, "In other people's eyes, the Phantom Dance is a must-kill martial art, but to Phantoms, the Phantom Dance is merely a dance for their love of life and display of passion."

　　I rolled my eyes, "Phantom Dance is clearly a martial art."

　　Moon Soul was concerned, "So you don't understand the Phantom Dance at all. By the way, you learnt the Phantom Dance from the Phantom Dance Jade Guide, right?"

　　I nodded and pursued, "Moon Soul, what exactly is your relationship with Phantoms? It sounds like you're familiar with them. Could it be that because I know the Phantom Dance, that's why you're pestering me?"

　　Moon Soul mysteriously tilted its mouth and didn't answer, this brat pretended to be mute when the time came. After a while, it began to change the subject, "By the way, the Xuan Turtle Red Eyes Beast's Biju is too heavy with Yin Qi, it can't be swallowed on its own, there must be a positive dan herb such as the Fire Dragon Dan and the Red Lian Grass as a citation before you can take it. Don't worry, I'll get it for you."

　　I let out a hmph, "So far, you've been pretty good to old me, keep up the good work."

　　Moon Soul stared at me with small eyes, "Lin Fei, what kind of person are you? To tell you the truth, relying on the Phantom Dance Jade Gazetteer alone is far from enough. Without a heart that loves life and pursues beauty, you'll never be able to perform a true Phantom Dance."

　　Pursuit of beauty? I wanted to laugh straight away at that. After thinking about it, I pointed at the long and narrow alley under the eaves of the house and calmly said, "I am also wandering just like Phantom, but that's only because I don't have a home. The dark alley where sewage flows in all directions couldn't be more dear to me. Although the alley is dirty, I can take shelter from the cold wind. Moon Soul, look at the high walls on both sides of the alley, do you know what's in the cracks of the wall bricks?"

　　Without waiting for him to answer, I said faintly, "There is green moss, do you know what moss tastes like? I'll tell you, it's bitter and astringent, because I've eaten it, when I was hungry and hard. So I could not have danced on the beautiful sea with as much love as Charm did-I have not the leisure."

　　I stood up and looked down the rough alley and smiled, "My dance belongs here. It may not be destined to be beautiful, but it is my Phantom Dance."

　　Moon Spirit fell silent, gazing deeply at me. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, the faint white dawn light shone in the alleyway with dappled light and shadows.

　　"Even in the deepest of alleys, you can still see the dawn." I suddenly whispered, tilting my head up, the figures of Gan Lime Zhen, Hai Ji, and Hatan Mei seemed to be reflected in the greenish-white sky, and at this moment, I suddenly found myself missing them.

　　Waking up early in the morning, Peanut Pi pestered me to learn spells, I considered it for a while, and passed him the recipe for blowing air and wind, after all, this is the most practical and easy to escape. After breakfast, Peanut Pi announced with a bit of excitement, ''Senior brother has already arrived at Great Thousand City, and has arranged to meet at noon. Let's quickly get ready and buy a few clean clothes to change into, don't be called shabby."

　　Peanut Fruit jumped up happily, "Grandpa, are we going to move to live in Luo Sheng Heaven from now on?"

　　Peanut Pi smiled as his wrinkles stretched, "I guess we will, I haven't been back for so long, I really miss Luo Sheng Tian a little. Elder brother Lin, why don't you come with us as well. Why don't you just join the Weaponry Armour Imperial Sect and stop moping around. If you cultivate hard, you might even be able to avoid one or two heavenly tribulations."

　　A pang of gratitude ran through my heart, Peanut Pi was really ancient. Peanut winked at me, and Peanut Skin's finger almost nudged my nose, "Hey, my grandpa is going to take you on as a disciple, you heartless swine, why don't you kowtow and thank me?"

　　Peanut Skin smiled and said, "No need to be in such a hurry, we'll talk about it after we've met Master Sect Leader."

　　I also played along and fooled around. The group walked out of the inn and arrived at the bustling city centre. After circling around I found that the notices I had worked so hard to put up on the walls had all been torn off. In its place, there was a stamped red list, which looked very eye-catching in the sunlight.

　　God damn it, who's so unethical! I was filled with anger and tore down the red list in front of me. Immediately a red-clothed big man at the side came over and arched his hand at me, "Hello this brother, I'm from the Vajra Mystic Path Sect, please pay ten taels of silver."
