rom the morgue at the end of the hallway.Creak…Creak... creak...The incessant scratching sound coming from below made one's teeth ache.There was a flicker of panic in the young man's eyes, but he quic...I heard Mu Wanchen's question and was a bit lost.
We flew here on the back of Kun, can anyone keep up
At the edge of the forest in the distance, a grey mist quickly gathered.
After being pointed out by Mu Wanchen, the person following us put on a calm smile and said, "This servant is worried that the master might get lost on his first visit~~~"
Oh my, it's the nine-tailed fox!
Those grayish mists, like great tails, were hastily tucked away by her.
She must have transformed into a demon form to be able to chase so quickly, right
"You're here to watch me," Mu Wanchen said directly.
His expression didn't seem angry, but his tone had a hint of displeasure.
The nine-tailed fox chuckled a few times, her laughter was indescribable... with a hint of the sound an infant makes when crying.
On Qingqiu Mountain, there was a beast that resembled a fox but had nine tails. Its voice sounded like an infant, and it could eat humans; those who ate it would not be harmed.
"Master... The Wildlands are boundless and vast, with flourishing vegetation and overlapping miasma. This humble servant accompanies you, able to ward off evil spirits and poisonous air for your safety~~~"
"No need." Mu Wanchen turned his body away from her, walking towards the several large train cars spat out by Kun.
His body didn't know how to exercise, and when we were intimate, I always felt a powerful strength beneath that layer of honey-colored skin.
But it doesn't look nearly as exaggerated.
Strong and athletic, with a graceful curve to the waist and muscles that could make one blush.
With one arm, he could easily lift me up, and now he was doing the same. After straightening out a few train cars, he turned around and scooped me up in his arms.
I lay on his shoulder and looked at the fox demon. Her narrow, hawk-like eyes were fixed ahead, covering half her face.
It's probably because it hasn't fully transformed into a human form, so it needs to cover its most beastly nose and mouth.
"The Duke and Duchess are so in love~~~"
Mind your own business.
"Hee hee hee~~~ Perhaps there will be a chance to meet the divine shamans of Yunzhong Mountain in the future. When that time comes, remember to say a few good words for this little one~~~~"
Impossible.
"The little princess looks… so young~~~~"
Does she evaluate a person based on "old" and "young"
I turned my head to look at Mu Wanchen. He glanced at me and whispered, "Don't talk to her. These kinds of people are especially good at seduction. Even their scent can make people dizzy. Just ignore her."
I nodded and nuzzled back into Mu Wanchen's shoulder, sticking my tongue out at the fox demon.
The fox demon knew it wasn't welcome, so it kept its distance from us.
This vast lake stretches as far as the eye can see. Mu Wanchen held me and walked a few steps along the shore, his voice low: "This place seems to have a peaceful aura, no signs of danger. Let's find a spot to rest... Are you hungry"
"Ugh~~~ I'm starving! I think I'll eat two people's portions today, it's just too easy to get hungry."
"...Why didn't you say so earlier"
"How could I say that I'm hungry in front of your people! Wouldn't that make them even more panicked My stomach is rumbling with hunger, but I didn't dare to complain."
Mu Wanchen chuckled softly and placed me under the tree.
Here, it was farther away from the riverbank. He looked around and said with a smile, "I could have hunted for you, but the wild things here can't be eaten indiscriminately. Fruit is more reassuring."
There is a fruit tree beside me, laden with bright red peaches.
This kind of peach is flat but has a vibrant color and a delicious taste.
"Mountains stretch endlessly, with trees of all kinds and fields of grain stretching as far as the eye can see. Across the sea lies a garden filled with peaches that are said to be immortal. Here, the most common fruit is the peach, giving this place a distinctly ethereal feel." Mu Wanchen reached out to pick one.
To be honest, I'm craving fruit right now. I don't know if it's because I have heartfire or something, but I have no appetite for other foods; I only take a couple of bites before I lose interest. However, I can eat a lot of fruit.
"One isn't enough, pick a few more," I urged.
"No, although peaches have a neutral taste and nourish Yin and produce fluids, moisturizing the intestines and quenching thirst, pregnant women shouldn't indulge in any food excessively... We can give you some poultry eggs and meat when we get back to the city. Just satisfy your cravings for now."
He's pretty strict, isn't he I was a little resentful inside: "You said we were sharing, why did you only give me one"
"Alright, one more." He chuckled and shook his head, plucking another one.
This wild peach is quite large, with a mild fragrance and a refreshing aroma.
"Shall I go wash up" I held a large Chinese peach in my hand.
"I'll go. You just stay here and wait for me." He put me down.
How could I stand still Every two steps he took, I followed with two of my own. I trailed him all the way to the lake.
"Don't come any closer." Mu Wanchen frowned.
"Why"
"This is not the world you are accustomed to living in. Perhaps there are strange beasts lurking in the lake"
"With you here, what are you afraid of..."
"...Am I alright It's scary to surprise you, take a step back."
Mu Wanchen was extremely cautious, more so than he had ever been in the Wuwang City.
I was also happy to enjoy his kind of care, walking behind him with my hands in my pockets for a few leisurely steps.
This is indeed a strange and dreamy utopia.
As long as the rules set by the Divine Witches are not challenged, the people here do not suffer from major natural disasters or man-made calamities. Foreigners, strange beasts, and exotic plants and flowers can all exist in this world.
In my world, I never dared to imagine.
These things are long gone. Humanity's curiosity and greed, the advancement of technology and its ruthlessness, even faith is precarious; how much more so tolerance and compassion for all
It's a shame, it's a pity.
My heart yearns for its true home.
I want to go home, to go home with Mu Wanchen.
Mu Wanchen stuffed two cool peaches into my hands, touched my head, and asked, "What's wrong"
I took a bite of the peach and mumbled, "…I'm worried you'll be so happy here that you won't want to leave. There are cities, palaces, and even your divine sorcerers here. Won't you find it hard to leave After all, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have mountains of gold or silver, silk robes and jade delicacies. Plus, that world needs you to adapt to it. You might even find it chaotic and smoky..."
"Ha…" He chuckled softly, twirling my earlobe.
"Little Luo'er, with you here, even a tiny room becomes as picturesque as a mountain landscape, and a single bed feels like a garden of blooming flowers. It's quite delightful... You worry too much."
Mmmmm... I really love hearing that.
As the sky grew dark, Mu Wanchen directly pulled me into his arms and sat me down under a tree. Inside his embrace, I wasn't cold at all, but the temperature of his skin felt off to me.
Before, his body constantly emitted heat. Now, his skin feels slightly cool to the touch.
“It's probably the shaman who took away a soul and a spirit, causing some abnormalities in the body, but I don't really mind.” He shook his head.
"Can you please come back... I just feel like the Spirit Shaman is holding onto your one soul and one spirit, preparing to use it to blackmail you."
"It's okay, it doesn't affect me... Shh, be quiet and rest. After daybreak, people from Beidang Xi's side should arrive."
"Will he bail on us"
Mu Wanchen shook his head. "Ancient people placed great importance on friendly alliances. Families as old as theirs should consider their sworn oaths more important than life itself."
"Then you're not sleeping"
"I'm going to watch you sleep, hurry up and go to bed. Didn't we say we were going to eat a meal for two We should also sleep for a full two people's time." reckon Xi Linzhou is even worse off, so he's taking a gamble."I was getting a little agitated and scratched my head: "If she dared to do this, who knows if others will continue to threaten the child....
