The End Times as a Song

Chapter 72 Who provoked whom?

Wu Zheyu was still unwilling to give up. Taking advantage of Chengfeng's inattention, she ran towards the Shenlin Hall.

"Ayu, didn't we have a plan? Why did you run away...?"

Chengfeng shook his head with a helpless expression, clapped his hands, and reluctantly caught up with Wu Zheyu.

"Lord Zheyu, please wait...!"

Wu Zheyu smiled and was about to enter the Divine Forest Hall when the divine soldiers guarding the hall blocked his way.

"How dare you! Since you dare to stop me, go in and see my father, the Emperor!!"

Wu Zheyu raged at the divine soldiers guarding the area.

"Lord Zheyu, please calm your anger!"

The divine soldiers guarding the main hall of Shenlin looked troubled and begged Wu Zheyu for understanding.

"Get out of my way...!"

With a wave of her hand, Wu Zheyu conjured a long whip. She loudly rebuked the divine soldiers guarding the Divine Forest Palace, threatening them.

"Lord Zheyu, please don't make things difficult for me. Emperor Yuanshun only summoned Lord Moshi, not you, Lord Zheyu!"

The divine guards of the Divine Forest Hall were in a difficult position. They exchanged glances and stammered explanations of their predicament. Wu Zheyu, however, wouldn't listen. She stepped forward, intending to attack the divine guards of the Divine Forest Hall. Chengfeng caught up and grabbed Wu Zheyu's hand, saying...

"Ayu, don't do it...!"

"Greetings! Lord Riding the Wind...!"

The two divine guards, as if they had found reinforcements, bowed to the Wind-Riding God.

"Please rise, my two divine warriors, there's no need for such formalities...!"

Chengfeng replied to Shenbing very politely.

"Ayu, come with me, I have something to tell you...!"

Chengfeng held Wuzheyu's small hand and whispered in her ear.

Chengfeng held onto Wuzheyu's hand tightly, which displeased Wuzheyu. She struggled to shake off Chengfeng's hand, crossed her arms over her chest, and angrily turned her face away.

"Ayu, why can't you listen to me just this once? I've already told you I have a way to get in. Don't worry, just come with me."

Chengfeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and patiently explained it to Wu Zheyu.

"Don't think I don't know, you're just trying to fool me, I'm not as easy to fool as you think...!"

Wu Zheyu turned around and angrily vented her anger at Chengfeng Shenjun.

"I'm not kidding you, don't be angry. I really didn't kid you this time...!"

Upon hearing this, Chengfeng's face showed a guilty expression. After a short while, he composed himself and continued.

"real……?"

Wu Zheyu stared wide-eyed at Chengfeng, asking a question with a hint of disbelief.

"Really, really...! I'm serious, do you believe me?"

Chengfeng hurriedly replied to Wuzheyu. Wuzheyu glanced at him but ignored him.

"Actually, I'm quite worried about A-Shi too. I reckon he'll come back empty-handed again this time. Otherwise, why would he stand there in the Divine Forest Hall for so long without going in? He'll probably have a hard time explaining himself this time. I can take you in, and we can observe secretly. But you have to promise me that we're just going to spy, and you can't do anything reckless...!"

Chengfeng patiently explained to Wu Zheyu.

"As long as you're not lying to me, I promise you I won't do anything reckless."

Wu Zheyu carefully observed the changes in Chengfeng's expression, thought about what Chengfeng had just said, and it seemed to make some sense. She also felt Chengfeng's sincerity, and reluctantly replied to Chengfeng.

"Don't worry! I won't lie to you this time...! Let's go!"

Upon hearing Wu Zheyu's reply, Chengfeng smiled with satisfaction, further reassuring Wu Zheyu's distrust. He took Wu Zheyu's hand and led her along the wall of the Divine Forest Palace.

"Here? Go in...?"

Chengfeng led Wu Zheyu around in a mysterious manner, sneaking up to a dog hole. Wu Zheyu looked at the dog hole with displeasure, pointing at it and staring at Chengfeng in disbelief.

"Mmm...yes...right here...?"

Chengfeng flicked the white jade folding fan in his hand and answered Wu Zheyu with great certainty.

"Chengfeng, are you out of your mind?"

Wu Zheyu was furious, and she turned to Chengfeng and cursed him.

"Shh! Ah Yu, keep your voice down...! No, no, I'm not crazy, is this really the place?"

Chengfeng pressed down on Wuzheyu's shoulders, signaling him to keep his voice down. He looked around and thankfully no one was there. Otherwise, if the speaker meant no harm, the listener might take it to heart, and the fact that the two divine lords had climbed through the dog hole in the divine forest would become common knowledge.

"Are you out of your mind? You want me to go in through here...? What is this if not a dog hole...?"

Wu Zheyu felt her self-esteem was greatly insulted, and she immediately flew into a rage. She pushed Chengfeng's hands away and cursed at him.

"You can't say that, can you? After all, this isn't an ordinary dog ​​hole; it's a 'divine dog hole,' you know?"

The Wind-Riding God lowered his head guiltily; he had no other choice, this was the only way in. He explained suspiciously.

"Divine Dog Cave...? Isn't that just a dog hole...? You want me, the dignified Jade Void Palace Divine Lord Zheyu, to crawl through a dog hole...? What nonsense are you talking about? I won't do it...!"

Wu Zheyu rejected Chengfeng's suggestion.

“Ah Yu, that’s not how it works…? Look how heavily guarded the Divine Forest Palace is, that’s the only way in. We can transform into divine dogs, then we won’t have to crawl through a dog hole.”

Chengfeng, holding a white jade folding fan, patted his head, seemingly having come up with some mischievous idea to persuade Wu Zheyu. He turned to Wu Zheyu and said...

"...!"

Wu Zheyu remained silent after hearing this, her expression showing suspicion.

"Ayu, the passage is right in front of you. Whether you go in or not is up to you...!"

Chengfeng looked at Wu Zheyu and said with a wronged expression.

"...!"

Wu Zheyu turned her head away, ignoring Chengfeng.

"Ayu, you didn't go in on your own, so don't say I tricked you! I brought you here, but this time you just couldn't accept it, so you can't blame me...!"

Chengfeng walked up to Wu Zheyu and continued speaking. He wanted to clear up the misunderstanding Wu Zheyu had previously had about him.

"A dog hole, it's a dog hole, I'll risk it all for my brother...! Let's go!"

Wu Zheyu lowered her head and thought for a long time. Then she looked at the dog hole and then at Chengfeng in front of her.

"If we don't go in, we won't be able to see Brother Mo Shi, and we don't know what Father Emperor will do with Brother Mo Shi this time. Let's try to sneak in first."

Wu Zheyu went through a mental struggle.

"Even if it's a dog hole, I'll risk it. Let's go! A dog hole is fine...! I am the mighty Divine Lord Zheyu! What is a dog hole to me...?"

After Wu Zheyu finished speaking to Chengfeng, she waved her little hand, transforming into a white rabbit, and hopped into the dog hole. Chengfeng watched Wu Zheyu's retreating figure, smiled, and then transformed into a gray rabbit, following Wu Zheyu into the dog hole.
