Why do I get bullied no matter where I go?
I really can't stand it.
It intends to swallow a person whole to calm its nerves.
Then it saw a woman slowly walking towards it from a distance.
You're the one.
"Li Ming, what kind of monster is this?" Wu Xiao asked curiously.
She was chatting with Li Mingdu when she suddenly heard strange noises coming from the village, so she decided to come back and check it out.
That's when we encountered this monster.
“This is the Nian beast,” Li Ming said.
In ancient times, there was a ferocious monster that lived scattered in the deep mountains and dense forests. People called them "Nian".
The creature was terrifying in appearance and ferocious by nature. It ate birds, beasts, fish, insects, and other small creatures; it changed its diet every day and even attacked villages.
One day, the people suddenly realized that the most feared things during the New Year were red, fire, and loud noises.
From then on, every New Year's Eve, every household would put up red couplets, set off firecrackers, and keep their homes brightly lit with candles, staying up all night to welcome the new year.
"The Nian Beast? There's such a thing?" Wu Xiao was very surprised, as this was the first time he had ever heard of it.
Don't you know about the Nian beast?
“Never heard of it.” Wu Xiao shook his head and said, “No wonder I saw strange footprints at the village entrance yesterday. Now that I think about it, this is it. Did this thing come out of the Thunder Swamp Forbidden Land?”
Wu Xiao had never seen such a product before.
The only thing that came to mind was that this thing had escaped from the Thunder Swamp Forbidden Land, which is full of all sorts of strange and bizarre monsters.
"Year after year..."
The monster made strange noises, looked ferocious, and opened its huge mouth, intending to swallow Wu Xiao whole.
This woman looks frail and delicate; she's no match for it. Now, I'll appease my anger with your death.
“Awooo… Nian… Awooo…” The Nian beast jumped up.
Wu Xiao stood expressionless on the ground, slightly shifted her body, grabbed his foot with one hand, and slammed it to the ground repeatedly.
It beat it so badly it made it question its existence.
Beat it until its skin was torn and its flesh was ripped open.
Looking at the Nian beast lying in a pool of blood, barely alive and looking quite pitiful, I suddenly heard the Nian beast's stomach rumbling.
It looks like it's hungry.
"So you were hungry." Wu Xiao smiled, dragged it back to the village, and fed it a little something.
I originally intended to chase it away, but it absolutely refused to leave.
It planned to stay in this village from then on, freeloading off everyone.
...
The next day.
It was the new year, and Wu Xiao got up early.
She received a New Year's red envelope from the village chief's mother-in-law.
Then her mother-in-law took her and had her distribute gifts and red envelopes to the villagers.
She finally came back, so how could she not give each household some gifts?
After a busy morning, it was noon in noon.
Wu Xiao returned looking exhausted, only to be met by two fortune tellers blocking his way at the door, reaching out their hands and asking for red envelopes.
"You're so shameless."
Wu Xiao said, "But I've already prepared their red envelopes."
Not only them, but also the Grand Chancellor and the Imperial Preceptor.
...
Dongsheng, the easternmost point, is the Great Wall stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, on top of the wall.
The Grand Chancellor, Su Xu, smiled broadly. He wanted to see what the Empress had given him.
He carefully unpacked the thing Wu Xiao had given him; it was a thick book with four characters on it.
"Red Cliff Stone Carvings".
Su Xu was excited.
The sword technique he practiced was obtained from the carvings on the Red Cliff, but he only obtained half of it.
He had been asking people to look for this thing, but he couldn't find it. He never expected that the Empress was also secretly helping him find it.
He opened the thick book; the entire book was blank except for a single bead.
The beads are imprinted with all the inscriptions carved on the red cliff.
Su Xu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He had been searching for this item for tens of thousands of years, and he had finally found the complete set. It seemed that his swordsmanship would be completely perfected in the near future.
He cupped his hands towards the sky and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
...
Dongsheng, the far west, is a wild and untamed land.
A woman wearing a light green Taoist robe appeared from behind.
Her hair was flowing freely in the wind.
He had a long sword hanging at his waist and a whisk in his hand.
She stood on the riverbank, gazing at the fish in the flowing water, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in the same Taoist robe walked up behind the woman and said, "Grand Preceptor, it's the New Year. People from the Divine Dynasty and the Immortal Sect are all here. Let's go and celebrate."
The Imperial Advisor did not speak, but simply waved his hand.
She gazed at the misty, desolate landscape, her face expressionless.
The easternmost and westernmost part of Zuzhou is an endless wilderness.
As the Grand Preceptor of the Great Martial God Dynasty, she led her people to explore this area together with other divine dynasties and immortal sects.
However, as exploration progressed, it was concluded that even a lifetime would not be enough to cross this region.
There are so many secrets here.
Divine Ruins, Buzhou Mountain Altar, Primordial Burial Pit...
Each one is a prehistoric being.
What kind of existence is Zuzhou Dongsheng?
To the far east lies the lurking void, and to the far west lies the boundless wilderness, as if something has sandwiched them, completely isolating Dongsheng.
She gazed at the sky, lost in thought.
Then, she reached out and touched the earring on her ear; it was her Sumeru Ring.
Before the Lunar New Year, Wu Xiao wrote her a letter saying he was going to send her something, but she could only open it on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
She was very curious about what the Queen had given her.
She gently touched her earring, and a box appeared before her eyes, flashing with light.
Upon opening the box, a whisk came into view.
