"Your Highness Ruoruo, don't you usually like to maintain your human form? Why are you in your beast form this time?" The little snow leopard, held in her older sister's hand, didn't care at all and chattered away to Ruoruo.
"Maintaining human form consumes spiritual energy, so I want to relax a bit today," Ruoruo Cat said without changing her expression.
Normally, she would have been fooled. Mo Xuanshuang was simple-minded and believed whatever her sister said without thinking too much. Mo Jinyan, on the other hand, saw through Ruoruo's words but did not expose her.
Unfortunately, she forgot that Mo Yunlan was with her today. Mo Yunlan sneered mercilessly: "Your legs are only a little longer in human form, so you can't keep up with the group at all. You're also heavier than in beast form, so you're not easy to carry, right, little chubby girl?"
Ruoruo the cat angrily swung its tail and jumped to the ground: "Hmph, Second Brother is bullying the cat, I don't want to go with Second Brother."
The next moment, the snow leopard sister skillfully picked up Ruoruo as well, and carried the two cubs at the same time with ease: "Not fat, not as heavy as Rongbao."
This was the first time Ruoruo had been lifted up by the scruff of her neck like this, and she was momentarily bewildered.
Doesn't this feel a bit strange?
The little white tiger took Ruoruo by the initiative and put her on its back: "Mo Yunlan is a bad guy, but I won't complain that you're heavy. Even if you grow bigger than Father in the future, I can still carry you."
Ruoruo touched Mo Xuanshuang's face with emotion: "Fourth Brother is still the best!"
Stepping out of the barrier, the group walked onto a narrow canyon path. They were met with fierce winds and frost, and the cliffs on both sides were covered with snow. The ground was full of bare rocks, and the environment was extremely harsh.
Before Mo Yunlan could make a move, a warm orange light appeared in front of them, blocking all the attacks.
Everyone paused for a moment, then looked at the boy walking at the front.
The boy had long, naturally wavy orange hair, casually tied behind his head, with a teardrop-shaped pendant on his right ear, and a blue oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
The umbrella hovered loosely above his palm, slowly rotating and opening its canopy, the wind chimes hanging from its edge tinkling.
It dispelled the howling wind in the harsh environment.
As the umbrella rose higher and higher, the orange light it cast enveloped everyone, not only keeping out the cold outside but also giving Ruoruo the feeling of being gently caressed by warm sunlight on her fur.
She gave a comfortable meow, her little tail wagging happily in the air: "Who are you? Ruoruo didn't see you just now."
The slender young man turned around, his face flushing red as he met everyone's gaze. He took a half-step back while holding the little red fox and said, "I... I am Yue Rou's brother, Yue Bai of the Red Fox Clan. I have been standing next to Yue Rou the whole time."
Although he was a fox, his eyes were slightly rounder, making him look more like a young fox and adding a touch of childishness.
Mo Yunlan pondered: "Yellow-character Class C, Red Fox Clan, Moon White?"
He hadn't heard of this name much, and she probably wasn't a particularly outstanding person in the class.
However, he blocked an attack that even a Xuanxian couldn't stop with his first move, and he must have some skill to reduce his presence to the point that even he couldn't detect him.
Interesting. Mo Yunlan's scrutinizing gaze made Yue Bai tighten his grip on the little red fox girl, Yue Qing.
The little red fox girl patted her brother's hand helplessly in a gesture of comfort.
Although Ruoruo sensed something was amiss, she wasn't as perceptive as Mo Yunlan. She simply gazed curiously at the umbrella above her head: "What a beautiful magical artifact."
Yuebai was a little embarrassed: "This is not a magic weapon, it's just a spiritual weapon. I don't know how to refine magic weapons yet."
Mo Jinyan and Mo Yunlan immediately looked at Yuebai with eyes that looked at a monster. What the hell was this fox talking about?
To withstand the damaging attacks from the entrance passage to the Primordial Realm, one needs at least the cultivation level of a Profound Immortal plus a magical artifact, or the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.
As for Yuebai, his cultivation level should have just reached the Xuanxian realm, and it might even be somewhat unstable.
How could a single magical weapon possibly withstand it?
But Yuebai had no reason to lie. Whether it was a spiritual artifact or a magical artifact, none of the people present lacked these things.
Oh... except for that little snow leopard with its eyes shining.
If you don't know the trick, you might just be watching the wind chimes spinning and feel an irresistible urge to grab them.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuebai took out another item from his space. It was a small bird made of unknown material. After filling its eyes with spirit stones, the bird instantly turned colorful and fluttered its wings, circling Ruoruo several times.
"This is fun to play with," Yuebai whispered.
The little chicks' eyes lit up instantly, and they all started running to catch the little bird.
The once somewhat dangerous secret corridor was instantly filled with the laughter of cubs, making it seem like a picnic.
However, the group of Zi Manqing who came in with them did not have an easy time.
The nine demons took turns clearing a path for Zi Manqing, focusing entirely on fighting off attacks that were inexplicably more intense than in previous explorations of the Primordial Secret Realm, and they didn't see Ruoruo and the others at all.
"A bunch of useless trash." Zi Manqing snorted coldly, completely abandoning her disguise and revealing her girlish figure. She released several elusive butterflies to search for Ruoruo and the others' location.
Ruoruo and the others have already left this narrow and somewhat dangerous secret canyon.
What came into view was a forest teeming with spiritual energy and lush vegetation. The forest was full of life, with the roars of beasts and the cries of birds. From time to time, strange and unfamiliar spirit beasts flew over their heads.
As Ruoruo watched the enormous bird, which could almost block out the sun, fly overhead, she couldn't help but open her mouth in amazement: "Wow, what a beautiful neck!"
Mo Jinyan was horrified: "That's something Dapeng can't even dream of. Even if you sacrifice your second brother, you might not be able to defeat it."
Ruoruo licked her lips regretfully: "Alright then."
Sigh, my brother is so weak.
Mo Yunlan completely understood her look and angrily tapped her head: "The outer perimeter of the Hongmeng Secret Realm opens once a year. If you're so capable, come and catch it yourself next time."
Ruoruo Cat pouted: "I can't knock anymore, or I'll become as stupid as Fourth Brother."
Mo Xuanshuang, the little white tiger who was biting a honey-scented flower, turned around blankly. What did it have to do with him?
"The spiritual energy here seems a bit too abundant." Mo Jinyan pecked at the spiritual fruit in front of him with some doubt. "The resources are also plentiful. Was there such a place on the outskirts of the Hongmeng Secret Realm before?"
Mo Yunlan had been here hundreds of times, and for him it was really just a picnic, so he didn't care much: "Even the outer edge of the secret realm is as big as an entire world, so it's normal to have unfamiliar places."
Mo Jinyan felt that what he said made sense, so he stopped overthinking.
This is a secret realm controlled by the academy, how could there be a problem?
