The Entire Demon World is Fighting for My Favor: A Shura Field 87

Chapter 87

In fact, Shao Mian had already noticed the moment Lin Ran left the bedroom.

He thought Lin Ran was getting up in the middle of the night to drink water or something, but he found that Lin Ran had gone downstairs.

The Demon World forest at night was very dangerous.

Lin Ran, wearing his pajamas, also felt a chill as he went downstairs. The Demon World seemed to have cooled down a bit.

[Ding——Detected “Eno Gard’s” fate line, do you wish to activate? ]

After carefully reading the precautions again, Lin Ran chose [Yes] as decisively as before.

A burst of white light erupted, but the familiar feeling of weightlessness didn’t appear. Instead, his wrist was firmly grasped by a hand!

[Ding——The Time Mirror is in danger of being attacked! Please remove the danger as soon as possible!! QAQ]

The Time Mirror’s prompt also rarely showed a hint of emotional fluctuation, as if it realized that it had been firmly locked onto by an extremely oppressive crimson gold demonic aura.

It started frantically asking A-Ran for help.

“Yuanbao?!”

Lin Ran turned around and found that Yuanbao had actually woken up.

Shao Mian, noticing the space-time law symbols floating in the mirror, immediately pulled Lin Ran, whose pajama hem was fluttering, behind him.

“Wait, don’t break it, I called it out.”

But the next second, Lin Ran stopped him with a slightly headache-inducing yet amused expression, successfully making the originally aggressive golden demonic aura pause.

The Time Mirror also seized the opportunity to escape smoothly, cleverly hiding beside Lin Ran and secretly glaring at Shao Mian.

As a mirror, it was always sensitive to the risk of being shattered.

“This mirror is dangerous.”

Shao Mian frowned.

“I know, but I need to go and see Little Feather, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon…”

Facing Shao Mian’s serious and puzzled warning, Lin Ran held his arm and softly explained.

Go and see Little Feather?

As Shao Mian pondered, the Time Mirror hiding behind Lin Ran seized the opportunity and “swooshed,” hugging A-Ran with a white light and disappearing.

“Creak…”

The bedroom door upstairs was gently opened. Watching this scene from the crack in the door was Little Feather, who wanted to squeeze back into bed but found that A-Ran was gone.

The little guy looked at this scene blankly, only knowing that A-Ran seemed to have disappeared.

Little Feather flew to Shao Mian’s side and tentatively pulled his clothes, as if asking if he could go find A-Ran.

“It’s probably for you again, worrying about something.”

Shao Mian wasn’t anxious anymore, sat on the sofa, and looked at the mirror he had caught halfway.

“Ee?”

Little Feather tilted his head, adjusted his eye mask, and looked down at the mirror.

A-Ran had made him a new eye mask, the inside sewn with silk fabric, which wouldn’t rub against his skin and was very comfortable.

“Since it’s related to you, come and watch it.”

Shao Mian didn’t feel any burden about letting the cub stay up late, only knowing that if this mirror was indeed related to Little Feather’s future, it would definitely be useful to have the little guy at this point in time watch it.

“Ee!”

Little Feather nodded obediently, although he didn’t know why, he also stared at the mirror with a serious expression.

The Time Mirror was slightly silent, feeling that the two demons, one big and one small, were silently threatening it.

“Eh, that was really fast this time.”

Lin Ran unexpectedly fell into the mirror world, not expecting this mirror to be so bold as to pull him in.

Contrary to Lin Ran’s expectations, what appeared before him wasn’t like any of his previous encounters. It was actually a school.

The school’s architectural style had a classical feel, and the lush, towering ancient trees added an elegant touch of time.

These towering ancient trees inexplicably looked familiar to Lin Ran.

But under the gloomy, foggy weather, the vine-covered clock tower, carved colonnades, and the clear marble fountain were like a scene from a movie.

The air had a cold and noble scent, making people subconsciously keep quiet, afraid of disturbing some unknown existence.

Was Little Feather studying here?

After all, Lin Ran remembered that Little Feather couldn’t read and would pretend to be trying hard to recognize words when they read together. Perhaps he came here to study hard when he grew up?

Little Feather’s self-esteem had always been quite strong, so it wasn’t impossible.

Most importantly, Lin Ran felt that with so many cubs at home, they couldn’t all grow up to be fierce, right? [A-Ran doesn’t believe in evil.jpg]

“Are you a new teacher too?”

Just as Lin Ran was looking around, a young demon approached him from behind.

He had a pair of long black wings on his back, which gave him a solemn aura.

Black wings were quite rare in the Feather Clan, at least he hadn’t seen them before.

“…Hello?”

Lin Ran didn’t answer rashly, but turned to look at this demon teacher.

The originally hurried demon was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Ran’s features.

Because Lin Ran had a rare Eastern appearance here.

Ebony hair and eyes, but his skin was as fair as jade, his figure a bit slender, but not thin, but a just right, well-proportioned beauty.

Coupled with the solemn scenery of the academy behind him, it added a quiet and cold aura, even resembling a painting.

“You don’t seem to understand the rules here. The consequences of being late are very serious, quickly follow me.”

The other party’s attitude softened, as if he was afraid that his voice would scare Lin Ran.

Perhaps this was a rare and mysterious bird from the East.

“Uh, okay.”

Lin Ran actually didn’t know what the other party was going to do, but if he refused, it seemed very difficult to find a second person to lead the way.

And Lin Ran had a hunch that the other party meant no harm.

“Okay, the last few have arrived, quickly take your seats!”

The lady at the front was very strict.

After Lin Ran hurriedly sat down, he realized that this seemed to be an orientation meeting for new teachers, and this place was actually a demon academy.

But listening to the demon on the podium’s long-winded introduction of the history of the academy, Lin Ran’s gaze became increasingly surprised and shocked.

Because he finally understood where this sense of familiarity came from. The area where this academy was located was clearly the area formed by the fusion of the Feather Clan’s territory and the real world!

Even the shapes and styles of the ancient trees were exactly the same.

But hadn’t the old territory been polluted by miasma and become a forbidden zone? Or had the Feather Clan in the future world foreseen the danger in advance and successfully resolved the crisis?

Then wouldn’t he just need to find Little Feather and heal his wounds?

This wasn’t an extremely dangerous crisis at all.

While relieved, Lin Ran was also a little curious.

All the Feather Clan members here who showed their wings had black wings, completely unlike the colorful and rich colors he had seen when he visited the Feather Clan before.

The tips of Anvers’ wings had a light cyan gradient, Pepe’s small wings were a bright and eye-catching sapphire blue, and even Elder Gu Li’s wings were grayish-brown with strange patterns…

“Are your wings not black? Ever since the forbidden zone was successfully opened by the principal, all Feather Clan members who have lived in this area for a long time have had their wings gradually fall off, and the ones that grow back are black.”

“Over time, everyone has black wings. The era you’re talking about was a long, long time ago.”

Qiao Qi still thought that Lin Ran was a foreign Feather Clan member from the countryside in the East. Even so, the young demon was still a little apprehensive.

He reminded Lin Ran to lower his voice, it wouldn’t be good if other demons heard him.

Lin Ran was seriously thinking about what Qiao Qi had just said.

All Feather Clan members who entered this area would have their original wings fall off, and the ones that grew back would all be black?

Didn’t this sound strange?

It was like they had been polluted and mutated, so all the Feather Clan wings had become short black feathers, no longer the magical and dreamy scene he had seen before.

“Are you crazy…! Shh!”

But before Lin Ran could ask the word “sick,” Qiao Qi covered his mouth with a drastic change of expression. Although the moment he touched Lin Ran, Qiao Qi subconsciously blushed.

After confirming that Lin Ran wasn’t going to say anything more, he quickly let go of his hand.

“How could you have such a crazy idea!? The principal saved the entire Feather Clan, and you’re saying… saying such a thing!”

Qiao Qi looked at Lin Ran with fear and unease.

After a while, the young demon’s tone became inexplicably serious: “Are you an undercover agent from the EWM organization?”

“EWM?”

Lin Ran carefully repeated the acronym.

“They’re just a group of escaped rebels. They’ve been trying to deceive the public, claiming that the Feather Clan is being led by demons into complete darkness.”

Qiao Qi was completely confused. It didn’t make sense to say that he was an undercover agent from the rebels.

Because Lin Ran clearly didn’t even know what the EWM organization was.

Perhaps he really was just an honest little bird from the countryside who had just been admitted to Prinskar!

Of course, Qiao Qi didn’t want to admit that he was somewhat biased by Lin Ran’s good looks.

If any other demon dared to say such rebellious words, he would have sent them to the heresy trial court long ago.

“Is the library here, Qiao Qi? I want to go and have a look.”

Lin Ran finally realized why Little Feather’s instance was said to be extremely difficult.

Because this instance world seemed to be really turbulent!

Strangely blackened wings, the reopened forbidden area, the escaped rebels…

Would all of this be related to the grown-up Little Feather?

“Library? Of course. Go east, see that building? That’s it, you can actually fly directly there.”

Seeing that Lin Ran had finally returned to normal, Qiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Reading was, of course, a very reasonable activity.

Unfortunately, Qiao Qi had to leave Lin Ran because he was called away to handle some procedures.

Although Qiao Qi was puzzled as to why Lin Ran didn’t need to go through any onboarding procedures.

“There is no new teacher named Lin Ran this year, and naturally, there won’t be any materials for him.”

The Feather Clan lady in charge of handling the procedures quickly denied Qiao Qi, who originally wanted to bring a copy of the materials back for Lin Ran, instantly stunning the young demon.

Heavens, could such a good-looking demon be a liar!?

No, there must be some hidden reason!

He had to go and see… at least investigate the situation clearly before deciding whether to report this strange existence.

The bewildered Qiao Qi looked in the direction of the library and spread his black wings to search.

It was only then that Qiao Qi realized that Lin Ran had never shown his wings.

Most Feather Clan members definitely preferred to display their wings, because it was more comfortable and natural.

Unless there was something wrong.

For example, disabled wings, or something…

But after searching countless times, Qiao Qi found that Lin Ran had disappeared and couldn’t be found anywhere.

Heavens, could he have wandered into that misty forest!?

Qiao Qi looked at the light blue misty forest with fear, his back feeling cold.

All the demons who had strayed into it before had disappeared without a trace.

And Lin Ran, walking towards the library, did encounter a little trouble, that is, he seemed to be lost.

He didn’t know when it started, but a thick fog appeared in front of him. The spire of the library was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn’t seem to reach it no matter how he walked.

It was as if he was walking in circles.

As soon as he realized this, Lin Ran quickly stopped and carefully identified the direction, realizing that this wasn’t fog but demonic aura.

“You’ve taken the wrong path and disturbed my quiet contemplation.”

An ethereal female voice suddenly rang out.

Although it was a pleasant voice, the overly indifferent tone made it seem a bit off.

“I apologize for the disturbance. May I ask if you know the correct way to leave?”

Lin Ran felt that this voice sounded familiar.

The other party seemed to be secretly observing him from the shadows.

“…Then play with me for a while, and I’ll tell you how to leave, okay?”

“Because I haven’t met a human for a long time.”

The girl’s voice was still a bit ethereal, but she immediately recognized Lin Ran’s human identity!

[Ding——Triggered hidden instance side quest: Hide-and-Seek!]

“Do you want to play hide-and-seek?”

Seeing the prompt from “Demon World,” Lin Ran finally had a guess, but he wasn’t quite sure.

“Mm.”

The girl was surprised that he had guessed correctly, but she observed Lin Ran even more closely.

As if she was thinking about something.

“Okay, then I’ll count to thirty. After you hide, I’ll come and find you, okay?”

After Lin Ran patiently asked, after a long time, the girl softly replied, “Mm.”

…Three, two, one.

But when Lin Ran counted to “one,” the thick fog dispersed, and everything became exceptionally clear. Light shone through the branches and leaves, illuminating everything in front of him.

Even the path to the library appeared before him.

It seemed that everything he had just experienced was just a fantastical dream.

“You’re actually here! Heavens, quickly come with me, do you know how dangerous this place is…”

Qiao Qi, who had been looking for him for a long time, was caught off guard when he saw Lin Ran suddenly appear. He instinctively ran over and wanted to pull him away.

But he also found it strange that he had clearly searched this place many times just now but hadn’t seen Lin Ran at all.

“Sorry, I just promised to play hide-and-seek with a little guy, I have to finish playing before I can leave.”

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment, then stopped Qiao Qi, this kind young Feather Clan demon.

“Hide-and-seek!? Do you think this is normal? What strange person would play hide-and-seek in such a place? Maybe they just want to lure you in and eat you…”

Beautiful little birds like you are the easiest to catch and eat.

Qiao Qi didn’t dare to say the second half of the sentence.

“Mm… probably not? Because I seem to know them. Sorry, wait for me, it will only take a few minutes.”

But Lin Ran just explained with a smile and turned to walk into the forest to search.

He had to fulfill his promise to Pepe first.

Even though Lin Ran wasn’t sure if the Pepe in the mirror world would be different from the Pepe in the real world.

Pepe, secretly observing all this, was a little lost in thought.

He hadn’t left.

He really came to find her.

It seemed like she had to hide seriously.

Pepe subconsciously started to look for a place to hide.

Because in countless times past, no one had ever played this game with her until the end.

But just as Pepe hid in a very concealed shadow of a tree, Lin Ran’s gentle footsteps approached.

Lin Ran looked at the blue skirt peeking out from the leaves and confirmed that Pepe, this little girl, was really “bad at the game but still addicted.”

She suggested playing hide-and-seek, but she was a novice?

She was so easy to find.

Could it be that when she ran to the human world, she was tricked into hiding like this, staying alone for three days and three nights?

Thinking of this, Lin Ran finally realized that the other party probably hadn’t intended to really play games with Pepe from the beginning.

He simply coaxed the little girl into hiding quietly.

He was a little angry… but more than that, he felt sorry for Pepe.

“I found you, can you come down now?”

“The tree is a bit tall, be careful when you come down.”

Pepe was stunned, and as soon as she landed, she was held by A-Ran.

Lin Ran finally saw Pepe in this future world.

The little girl had grown so tall, her slightly curly long hair casually falling behind her, like a little elf in the forest.

Except for her beautiful big blue eyes, which seemed even more empty.

Just as Lin Ran worriedly wanted to take a closer look, Pepe pounced on him and hugged him tightly, just like before, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist.

“Found…”

Pepe hugged A-Ran tightly, and for some reason, she felt happy.

It was as if she was no longer alone.

Lin Ran, who was pounced on, gasped, feeling that Pepe had not only grown taller, but her strength had also increased.

Being hugged so fiercely, he actually felt a little pain.

Fortunately, Pepe wasn’t taller than him, otherwise it would be too embarrassing!

“Are you so happy to be caught so quickly?”

Finally, Lin Ran touched Pepe’s head and couldn’t help but laugh.

He didn’t know if Pepe knew anything about Big Little Feather.

[Ding——You have completed the hidden instance quest “Hide-and-Seek,” gained affection from an important side character, and the difficulty of this instance will be reduced by 30%!]

“My god…”

Qiao Qi, who finally couldn’t resist and rushed over, was dumbfounded.

He never expected that Lin Ran would actually catch that mysterious being!

It wasn’t exactly catching, it was more like the other party had actively pounced on Lin Ran.

The moment he saw him approach, she looked over vigilantly.

“I, I’m not trying to steal her from you…”

Seeing those abnormally empty blue eyes, Qiao Qi’s back felt cold, and he instinctively started to explain.

“Pepe?”

But Lin Ran frowned and looked at Pepe, directly reaching out and covering her eyes, feeling that something was really wrong with the little girl.
