Chapter 225: Returning to Desat

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, now cold, Lilith murmured, “This could be considered a decent death, right? It was your choice—I’ll follow your wishes…”
Suri lay quietly on the ground, with no blood or wounds. Her corpse appeared even more beautiful than in life. Her complexion wasn’t the pale shade of death but had a faint rosy tint, and there was even a slight smile on her lips, as if she were in deep sleep…
Lilith slowly left the small shop…
“Did you find her?” Ye Feng turned to look at Lilith as she suddenly appeared beside him.
“It’s over!” Lilith nodded. She could already sense the change in herself. In the past, after killing someone, she would often feel an inexplicable excitement. But this time, she was unusually calm, even feeling a strange sense of sympathy and helplessness deep in her heart.
“This must be what it’s like after becoming human!” Lilith told herself silently.
“What’s wrong? You don’t seem very happy!” Ye Feng also noticed Lilith’s abnormality. Usually, her face always wore a mischievous smile.
“I’m fine!” The little witch casually shook her head.
“Alright then. We have other tasks!” Since she refused to talk, Ye Feng didn’t press her.
Lilith raised her head to look at Ye Feng. “What are they?”
“Do you remember when Fat took on the task to assassinate me, the reward was a treasure key?” Ye Feng smiled. “Now someone has found another key on Desat Planet. I plan to go there and see if I can get my hands on it!”
“Are we going now?” Lilith clearly became interested in this task. Her earlier gloom vanished instantly, and she stared at Ye Feng with eager eyes.
“Hmm, let me explain first. The one who has that key now is a monk. I’m not sure about his strength yet. The people from Hell and the Buddhist Realm probably don’t get along well, right? If it’s inconvenient for you, let Kas go instead!” Ye Feng thought that the people from the Buddhist Realm, who always saw themselves as guardians against demons, surely wouldn’t have much goodwill toward demons from Hell. And Lilith and the others would definitely dislike those bald guys too.
“The guys from the Buddhist Realm aren’t as simple as you think. If Kastedio goes with you, you might suffer losses. I’ll go instead!” Hearing that it was someone from the Buddhist Realm, Lilith frowned slightly but still didn’t back out.

“Alright, let’s get ready first. We’ll set off this afternoon!” Ye Feng nodded.
After everything was arranged, Ye Feng, along with Bernard and Xiao Yu, appeared in front of the teleportation array leading to the planet Desat. From Lilith’s expression, it seemed she had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the two little creatures on Ye Feng’s shoulders, Lilith shook her head helplessly. “Though they are quite strong, they’re still too young. In a real fight, they might get hurt!”
“Don’t worry about them. Their combat experience is much greater than you think!” Ye Feng said mysteriously. After all, over three hundred years of fighting in a constantly dangerous environment, it would be hard for them not to grow stronger.
“Xiao Yu and I can easily take down guys at the level of Three Calamities Immortals!” Bernard said in a high-pitched voice. “Don’t underestimate us—we’ve undergone special training!”
Hearing this, Lilith looked at Ye Feng in surprise. She didn’t believe Bernard was telling the truth.
“He’s telling the truth. Though they’re both only at the Calamities Crossing stage,” Ye Feng nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lilith felt relieved. The strength of a Three Calamities Immortal was even greater than that of late Mahayana cultivators, and they were not far from the level of true immortals. Being able to kill a Three Calamities Immortal was considered top-tier strength in the entire cultivation world. Lilith had previously worried that they might be a burden.
“Very well, then. Two adorable little ones, come on!” Lilith said as she stepped into the teleportation array first.
Ye Feng followed suit.
Planet Desat was a world with half desert and half oasis. The desert was the territory of various magical beasts, while the oasis was where humans lived.
When the teleportation array arrived on Planet Desat, what appeared before everyone’s eyes was a desert. Xiao Yu and Bernard seemed quite cheerful upon seeing this environment.
Xiao Yu leaped off Ye Feng’s shoulder, circling in the air while letting out joyful cries. Bernard slid down Ye Feng’s arm onto the ground, transforming into a giant beast over four meters tall. He pointed to his back at Ye Feng and Lilith and said, “Come on, I’ll carry you!”
Ye Feng and Lilith jumped onto Bernard’s back, both feeling a hint of excitement. Ye Feng never imagined he would one day ride a panda.
“Boss, which way?” Bernard turned to look at Ye Feng.
“Northwest!” Ye Feng pointed in a certain direction.

“You can even tell east, west, south, and north in a place like this—really impressive!” Lilith looked around. “I can’t even tell east from west on Agri Planet!”
“I’ve been here before!” Ye Feng shook his head and smiled.
Seeing Ye Feng point in a certain direction, Bernard rushed there at full speed, raising clouds of dust behind him. Xiao Yu flew leisurely in the sky, slowly following behind Bernard.
After hours of running, Ye Feng and the others finally saw the wall surrounding a grove of trees ahead—he knew that was the so-called oasis. Bernard also gradually slowed down and headed in that direction.
A few hundred meters away from the grove, Ye Feng said to Bernard, “Stop! If you go any further, they’ll think it’s a monster invasion and attack!”
After getting off Bernard’s back, Bernard shrank back to normal size and climbed onto Ye Feng’s shoulder, while Xiao Yu also landed on Ye Feng’s other shoulder.
Then Ye Feng led Lilith forward on foot.
When they reached a large gate in the middle of the grove’s wall, the two stopped.
The gate was open, and two tall men with long knives at their waists stepped out. “Are these two spirit beasts yours?”
“That’s right!” Ye Feng nodded.
“Take care of them!” one of the men said.
Ye Feng nodded again.
“Come in!” the other man said briefly.
As soon as Ye Feng and Lilith entered the gate, it quickly closed behind them.
Inside the gate was a wide, straight street.
There were shops on both sides of the street, and people were coming and going nonstop—far from the desolate scene Ye Feng had imagined.
This place was completely different from that desert.
Seeing Ye Feng equally shocked, Lilith asked curiously, “Haven’t you been here before? Why are you still so surprised?”
“It’s my first time entering an oasis!” Ye Feng smiled sheepishly. “Let’s find someone to ask for directions first!”
Ye Feng went to a fruit shop nearby, bought some fruits he had never seen before, and then chatted with the shop owner. “Boss, do you know where the Oasis Inn is?”
“Haha, you guests really have good taste! The Oasis Inn is the biggest inn in Sandless City and one of the best in the entire Desat Planet,” the shop owner said warmly. “Just follow this street to the ninth intersection, and you’ll see it.”

“Thank you!” Ye Feng distributed the basket of fruit in his hands to Lilith and the two beasts before heading in the direction indicated by the shop owner.
At the ninth intersection, Ye Feng looked up at the dome above him in exasperation. It turned out the ninth intersection was inside the Oasis Hotel, with signs bearing the name “Oasis Hotel” all around it.
“Let’s eat something first and gather some information along the way,” Ye Feng said, leading Lilith toward the bustling tavern.
As soon as Ye Feng entered the tavern, many people glanced at him warily. Even the waiter was momentarily stunned before approaching them.
“What would you like to order?” the waiter led the two to an empty table and greeted them with a professional smile.
“Some specialty dishes,” Ye Feng replied calmly.
Ye Feng and Lilith also noticed that since they entered the tavern, the once noisy place had become much quieter, with people speaking in hushed tones. Many others were staring at them.
After a while, the waiter brought a plate of dishes. Ye Feng grabbed him and whispered in his ear, “Why are these people staring at me like that?”
“Mr. Blade, who on Desat doesn’t know your fame? There are direct teleportation arrays between Desat and Agri, so any news from Agri reaches here immediately. Moreover, with few entertainment options here, such news becomes the talk of everyone. Now that the topic of conversation is right in front of them, they naturally lower their voices so you won’t hear, and they also stare to confirm if you’re really who you claim to be,” the waiter said helplessly.
“Are all the shops with the ‘Oasis’ name in this area yours?” Ye Feng looked around and saw dozens of shops bearing the name “Oasis”.
“That’s right. Although our main business is hotels and inns, we also have many other functional shops,” the waiter nodded. “Of course, many of our services are interconnected. You can check in here and then stay at the inn across the street.”
“That’s quite convenient. Book two adjacent rooms for us,” Ye Feng nodded. “We’ll check in right after dinner! We can settle the bill together after eating.”
“No problem!” The waiter nodded and left.
“Shouldn’t we go straight to that monk?” Lilith whispered.

“With so many people watching, if we say we’re here to look for someone, it will definitely be overheard by those with ulterior motives,” Ye Feng shook his head. “That will only attract more people to the scramble… Let’s ask about him after we get away from these people!”
