1207 Mirage Dragon

r, knows how to threaten me."Liang Xiaogé, who are these 'respected guests' you keep talking about They seem very popular. Why am I so unappreciated""Pff...cough cough cough..." Liang Xiaoge choked on...A night without dreams, not even a breeze.

Mu Wanchen encircled me in his arms, his chin resting against my forehead, enclosing me entirely before his chest.

It doesn't feel like being outdoors; it's no different from being at home.

This feeling of sleeping nestled together is so comforting. I slept soundly until I was gently awakened by a slight vibration.

"...What, what's wrong" I hadn't opened my eyes yet, my mind was a bit fuzzy.

After pregnancy, I feel that my body and reactions are a little sluggish. Opening my eyes too quickly causes dizziness.

"Someone seems to have arrived..." Mu Wanchen reached out and covered my eyes, letting me close them slowly.

"Is it Bei Tang Xi Why do I feel like the earth is trembling" I clutched his hand nervously.

Mu Wanchen's hand was pulled down by me. The surroundings were still peaceful, but we were both sitting on the ground. There was another lake here, and this slight tremor came from very far away.

"It probably is." Mu Wanchen held me and stood up, walking to a large rock by the lake and gazing into the distance.

A slight haze hung over the eastern forest. After a good half hour, the rumbling sound grew clearer.

We waited and waited until smoke billowed from the forest, revealing our visitors.

This style is really similar to Beidang Xi's.

Beidang Xi's mount was a ferocious beast, a war-horse. The tribe members he led all rode charging wild boars!

That must be a wild boar Such large tusks and an animal covered in black bristles, it's much bigger than any wild boar I've ever seen on TV. Two people are sitting on each one's back, and they're pulling along bamboo baskets.

“It seems like the people in this city live a good life, even having mounts to ride when they go out,” I said to Mu Wanchen.

Mu Wanchen frowned and said: "These beasts look very ferocious. Although they obey human orders, if you're not careful, they might go crazy. Don't get too close to them, just wait for him to come over."

We stood motionless, seeing from afar that Beidang Xi had bound his clan members to the edge of the forest and then galloped towards us alone astride a strange beast.

"Well, as you know I keep my promises. Look, I brought live animals over for you. To prevent them from suffocating, I even gathered quite a few wicker baskets and cages," he said with a hint of pride.

"Those compartments are filled with soybean trees, hurry and take them back. Find a suitable place to plant them. Soybean plants need flat, open ground and moist soil. The best places are where the soil can be held together in a ball when squeezed, because they need a lot of water during the initial flowering and pod-setting stage." I reminded him.

"...You know so much, then how do you grow bean sprouts" Beidutang Xi couldn't forget this.

"Bean sprouts aren't grown, they are made from beans..." I briefly explained the method of growing bean sprouts.

This method actually dates back centuries, but their families don't understand. They arrived here over two thousand years ago. Two thousand years later, our world has changed drastically, while they remain with a very old way of life.

Thinking about it, if technology was advanced here too, what would the shamans rule

With the advent of technology, people begin to forget about faith. Only a few can maintain a pure heart in the face of history's relentless wheels. There are very few such people.

I shared this little piece of knowledge with Beidang Xi purely out of kindness. They produce a lot of meat products, and vegetables are relatively precious there. It was all out of goodwill.

I didn't expect that such a small matter would be ridiculed by that nine-tailed fox.

"The little princess knows so much~~~~"

“This is just common sense.” I glanced at her.

Her hawk-like eyes narrowed: “……Knowing a lot is a good thing~~~ But it's still important to pay attention to your own kin and avoid trouble……”

"What have I gotten myself into" I asked, frowning.

"Uh-heeehehe... Forming cliques isn't a good thing~~~ The messenger of the divine witch probably sees you getting too close to people from other cities and might feel resentment. It's best to be careful..."

"Aren't you the envoy of the Divine Witch Have you taken a disliking to me" I retorted directly.

The nine-tailed fox covered her mouth and smiled without saying a word.

Her laughter was too creepy.

"Bei Tang Xi, once the East and West are handed over, we'll go our separate ways. If you want to exchange again in the future, we can discuss it then. For now, let's each return home…" Mu Wanchen said.

He must be worried about the people in the city and wants to take these things back as soon as possible.

This is not just food, but also hope.

If we could give these people hope, and help them stabilize their lives, maybe they would choose to stay here and settle down.

And because there are many people and abundant resources here, as long as marriages can be arranged at a distance, the issue of bloodlines will develop in a positive direction.

On the way back, I was filled with joy.

All the animals Beidang Xi sent were good, including egg-laying poultry and two milk-producing cows. This guy is really an honest person.

I daydreamed about the scene of this being made into milk for a little baby and couldn't help but smile.

The day is about to end.

We sat on the back of Kun, returning to the city. Since the nine-tailed fox demon had been exposed for spying on us, it openly followed Kun as it soared through the clouds and mist.

I think it's not quite right to say she is like "tenghun jiwu" (騰雲駕霧), because immortals and gods are as ethereal as a wisp of cloud and mist. She... describing her with "yaofeng gun gun" (妖風滾滾) would be more accurate.

In order to catch up with the speed of Kun, she almost transformed into its original form. Her lower body extended nine gigantic tails, and her entire figure was shrouded in gray mist.

The tail was about one-third the size of a Kun and looked quite impressive.

"She's still got some skill!" I exclaimed with a hint of surprise.

"...For beastkind to attain enlightenment, it is a hundred times more difficult than for humans. She can transform into human form, so her cultivation path naturally predates ours and is far deeper."

"What if she turns against us" I worried.

Mu Wanchen sneered: "Hmph... She wouldn't dare."

"Really"

"Really, it's not just her who is afraid, many people are afraid... But it's easier to dodge a bullet than an arrow. It's better to be low-key and careful."

I nodded.

"The mirage should appear today. After we return to town, we'll go look for traces of it." Mu Wanchen said in a deep voice.

Oh, three days will be about up soon.

"Huǒ (Mars) guards the heart, the Shen Witches won't leave Yúnzhōng Xiānshān to avoid calamity. We take this opportunity to fish out Jìdù Xīngjūn and head west to the sea..." Mù Wǎnchén whispered in my ear.

No problem, I take a deep breath and prepare myself mentally.

But I never expected that our low-key arrangement would run into such an unexpected accident!

A thousand years ago, the Mirage Realm appeared and stayed here. Although its trail can be followed, it is always difficult to grasp, appearing suddenly!

When the giant fish swam near the city, the sky that was just high and clear with a distant twilight suddenly darkened.

A surge of black mist appeared out of thin air, like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast!

A chilling and oppressive aura, like a volcanic eruption, instantly shrouded the heavens and earth in a veil of darkness.

At this time, it was just a few seconds. I could only reach out to grab Mu Wanchen!

I got it.

“Wǎnchén, Wǎn—” I gasped, panicked, a blast of freezing air rushing into my nose, nearly suffocating me!

Mu Wanchen turned his head slightly.

But the person before him, gaunt and withered, with rotten lips revealing ghastly white teeth and jawbone, had hollow eye sockets devoid of eyes.

He reached out to me with a hand, covered in black spots and dry as a claw...

"Ah!!!" It's the old monster!

I was so startled that I let go and scrambled backward. The fish's back was already slippery, and this sent me tumbling backward, rolling straight down towards the ground. direction his method was located in the house."Mu Mu, come here for a second, I'm getting a little panicked." I said to the fox demon dragging her suitcase.In the human world, auras are different. Th...
