Nanzhao Kingdom
Located in the far south of the Chinese mainland, adjacent to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Nanzhao City.
Murong Fu and the Qilin girl walked down the street, looking completely out of place.
This area is almost entirely inhabited by ethnic minorities, whose clothing differs greatly from that of the mainstream ethnic groups on the Chinese mainland.
"Please come with me, gentlemen."
As they were strolling around, a man jumped out and blocked their way.
Murong Fu raised an eyebrow: "Who are you?"
The man was handsome, but his expression was solemn: "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Tang Yu Xiaobao. I know why you are here. Please come with me."
Although somewhat surprised, Murong Fu still followed him.
Tang Yu Xiaobao led the two of them into a barrier.
At the center of the barrier stands a towering tree that reaches into the clouds.
The energy that sustains the barrier comes from this giant tree.
A young girl emerged from a hollow in the giant tree and asked curiously, "Tang Yu Xiaobao, are they all disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect?"
"Let me introduce you, this is Anu, my friend."
Tang Yu Xiaobao introduced, "These two are friends I met in the city. They should be disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect."
Murong Fu waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "Then you are mistaken. I am Murong Fu, from the Qingyun Sect. This is my Daoist partner, Ling Zun."
Anu leaned closer in surprise: "You're Murong Fu?"
Tang Yu Xiaobao asked in confusion, "Anu, do you know him?"
“Of course I know him!” Anu nodded, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Murong Fu and said, “Who in the cultivation world doesn’t know Murong Fu of the Qingyun Sect!”
"Huh? Why?"
Tang Yu Xiaobao was somewhat surprised.
"Of course it's because..."
"Of course, it's because I am handsome and dashing, with superb cultivation, and I am a man of exceptional quality, one in a million."
Murong Fu interrupted Anu, his smile warm.
Tang Yu Xiaobao was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a shameless... cough, such a confident man!
"So it was a master from the Qingyun Sect!"
Tang Yu Xiaobao clasped his hands in a fist and bowed respectfully.
"No need to be so polite." Murong Fu waved his hand with a faint smile and asked, "Brother Tang, why did you immediately assume I was a disciple of Mount Shu?"
"My surname is Tang Yu, and my given name is Xiao Bao." Tang Yu Xiao Bao first corrected him, then explained:
"Brother Murong probably doesn't know that the Drunken Sword Immortal of the Shu Mountain Sect came here, but was captured by the Moon Worship Cult Leader."
"Oh, right, there's also a Shushan disciple named Li Xiaoyao. He went back to get reinforcements."
"So I thought you were disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect."
He explained.
Another girl emerged from the tree hollow.
However, the woman's eyes revealed a sense of vicissitude, indicating that she was not as young as she appeared.
"Master."
Anu immediately bowed in greeting.
Tang Yu Xiaobao also bowed: "Holy Maiden."
"A descendant of Nuwa!"
The Qilin girl stared at her, slightly surprised.
"Hmm? A water unicorn?"
The girl was also surprised and quickly bowed, saying, "Zixuan, greetings to the divine beast."
Anu stared curiously at the Qilin girl: "Huh? A water Qilin? Master, you said she's a divine beast, a water Qilin?"
"Anu, don't be rude!" Zixuan immediately scolded.
"Yes, yes!" Anu hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Divine Beast Master!"
The Qilin girl shook her head: "I don't care about these worldly formalities."
Zi Xuan nodded slightly, then her expression turned solemn as she said, "I am the previous Holy Maiden of the Witchcraft Cult, and the people of Nanzhao are all my subjects. I will not allow anyone to harm my people!"
Murong Fu asked, "Wait a minute, you were the previous Holy Maiden of the Witchcraft Cult? Then who is this one?"
Zi Xuan said, "She is my younger sister, Lin Qing'er."
Murong Fu then asked, "Do you know Zhao Ling'er?"
Zixuan explained, "That's our third sister, but she was born relatively late and was sent away shortly after birth. She's not in Nanzhao anymore."
Murong Fu's eyes became somewhat amused.
The three descendants of Nuwa were actually three sisters.
“We, the descendants of Nuwa, are born from eggs. Back then, a drop of Nuwa’s essence blood split into three parts, which gave birth to me, Qing’er, and Ling’er respectively.”
Zixuan began to talk about the past.
“I awoke ten thousand years ago, Qing’er awoke a thousand years ago, while Ling’er only gained sentience and awoke sixteen years ago.”
Upon hearing this, Anu and Tang Yu Xiaobao were both astonished.
"Master, so you're already ten thousand years old."
"Holy Maiden, does that divine tree also have a special origin?"
The two spoke separately.
Zixuan nodded and said, "That's right, the Divine Tree was nurtured by innate holy water and has existed since the beginning of time."
He paused for a moment.
Zi Xuan's expression turned solemn as she said, "The current Holy Maiden, Lin Qing'er, has been imprisoned by Bai Yue, who wants to use her Nuwa power to recreate the world and destroy it."
"Godfather...cough!" Tang Yu Xiaobao looked worried and subconsciously called out "godfather," but immediately corrected himself:
"The leader of the Moon Worship Cult actually loves people in his heart. However, the filth of the world makes him lose hope, which is why he wants to destroy the world."
Zi Xuan said angrily, "If the world is filthy, then change the world! Don't destroy it!"
The Qilin girl chuckled and said, "Why all the talk about filth and dirt? It's all just infighting among you humans. I'm already tired of seeing it all over the past ten thousand years."
Murong Fu looked at the Qilin girl with tenderness, gently stroked her hair, and pulled her into his arms.
Zi Xuan was dumbfounded. Had she been in seclusion for too long that even her divine beast had found a partner?
