Meng Xiuyi sighed, "It seems that the necklace that Senior Helian gave to the doll can only conceal her cultivation level from human cultivators, but her physique is not so easy to hide."
However, this is not a big problem, since her physique is basically useless to humans.
These humans wouldn't capture her and cook her like Tang Sanzang's flesh; if they did, their spiritual cultivation would collapse and they'd end up in the demon realm.
As for spirit beasts, there aren't many in this world, and even if there are, they generally won't be exposed as long as you don't get too close.
Besides, even if she's exposed, she's not afraid.
Spirit beasts have developed intelligence and have broken free from the path of cultivating by consuming flesh and blood. If these spirit beasts were truly enlightened, they wouldn't want to eat her blood.
Helian Xiao's spirit beast was lucky; it pecked her finger through the cloth, and the blood stuck to the cloth. It only absorbed the spiritual power flowing from her blood, instead of the blood going into its mouth.
Otherwise, its cultivation will surely regress.
Half an hour later, Helian Xiao came out with the bird.
The bird had stopped its restlessness and stood proudly on Helian Xiao's shoulder, like a victorious rooster.
Upon seeing Meng Wanwan, its eyes widened immediately, and it joyfully pounced on her.
Helian Xiao was speechless: "Hey, we made a contract, you're not going to regret it now, are you?"
The red bird ignored him completely and happily chirped around Meng Wanwan.
Niannian helped Meng Wanwan with the translation.
"Spiritual energy, spiritual energy, abundant spiritual energy... Ah, this little girl smells so good, even better than a spiritual vein..."
Meng Wanwan...
Helian Xiao crossed his arms and shouted angrily, "Hong Ge, come back!"
"Red Song" is the name Helian Xiao gave to this bird.
Hong Ge made his presence felt in front of Meng Wanwan and reluctantly returned to Helian Xiao's shoulder.
But whenever Meng Wanwan looked at it, it would constantly display its beautiful feathers and... magnificent wings.
Meng Wanwan was speechless.
In her past life, she had already gone to university, and not a single boy had ever tried so hard to show himself off to her!
In this lifetime, a bird beat me to it!
Oh!
Hongge was a spirit beast that Helian Tengyun specially found for Helian Xiao, specifically for this mission.
He's my own son, after all; I'm not going to let him go into battle alone.
This time, Helian Tengyun didn't give the Han family any face and immediately ordered them to set off.
The only people accompanying them were the Meng father and daughter.
Some members of the Helian family were sent ahead, but not in the secluded mountain village; they were outside.
Helian Tengyun's earlier statement about going back to investigate the people of Shanglin Sect also refers to outsiders.
In the afternoon, the group was ready to depart.
Upon arriving at the platform where they had come from, Meng Wanwan saw Han Fei, who was pale-faced and being led by Han Chao.
Han Fei glared at Meng Wanwan with a sinister look when she saw her.
Will Meng Wanwan let this opportunity slip by?
He immediately said innocently, "Miss Han, why are you glaring at me?"
Han Fei's face was pale, and her eyes almost bulged out: "I'm glaring at you, so what?"
Meng Wanwan pouted and shrugged: "Oh, not so great. You can't beat me, so you glare at me? Just trying to balance things out. I get it, I get it, you don't need to say anything more."
Han Fei was so angry she jumped up and down, and was about to say something when Han Chao stopped her immediately.
He said coldly, "Miss, you should rest. We still have a long way to go on our journey. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries. Otherwise, this mission may be delayed."
Han Fei immediately shut her mouth, but the hatred in her eyes did not diminish at all.
The old woman beside Han Fei smiled and nodded to the Meng family without saying a word.
There were definitely more people from the Han family than just these, but they all stayed outside.
When the time came, Helian Tengyun opened the barrier, and the Han family members took the lead, riding their swords and moving very fast.
Helian Xiao also stepped on his greatsword and raised his chin at Meng Wanwan: "Little girl, do you want to come here?"
Meng Wanwan gave a haughty snort, tossed her little fan into the air, and flew up with a light touch of her toes.
"Niannian, charge!"
--
The Poison Mist Forest is located in the southwest region, not too far from Xiaoshan You. Both are in the south, and it takes only two days to reach it by flying on a sword.
Two days later, the group settled in the city closest to the Poison Fog Forest.
The group entered the inn, and Han Fei took out the money and said to the innkeeper, "Four superior rooms."
Then he turned his head and looked at Meng Wanwan and Meng Xiuyi with disdain: "They should pay for their own. If they can't afford it, then get out."
Helian Xiao's expression immediately darkened.
Han Fei, however, seemed to have given up all hope, and said to him, "Brother Xiao, our Han family only invited people from the Helian family, not lowly rogue cultivators."
Helian Xiao chuckled and said to the innkeeper, "My room doesn't need to be paid for by this person; I'll pay for the three of us."
As he spoke, Helian Xiao took out the money and gave it to the shopkeeper.
This is the realm of mortals, and they use yellow and white materials.
However, their secluded mountain village is not lacking in these yellow and white things.
Meng Wanwan rolled her eyes. Such a low-level tactic was really ugly.
Meng Xiuyi smiled and shook her head, took out the money and handed it over: "Young Master Helian, there's no need to spend money, we still have this much money."
The innkeeper smiled, collected the money from the three people, and assigned them rooms: "Please, everyone."
He was very proud.
Sigh, he really hadn't seen much of the world before, and he'd never witnessed the battles between these cultivators. After all, he was just an ordinary mortal, running a meager inn in this godforsaken little town.
Normally, the guests who come and go are all ordinary people.
But things have changed in the last two years. With the emergence of the poisonous fog forest, this once-unknown town has gradually become prosperous and shows signs of becoming a hub city.
As one of the most senior residents of this small town, he naturally began receiving cultivators from all over the country two years ago. And every day he witnessed various battles between cultivators from all over.
Two years! The various conflict materials he had accumulated in his mind were enough to make him remain unfazed in the face of such pointless contradictions.
Quietly, he was also someone who remained calm and composed in front of cultivators.
This is something to be very proud of.
The innkeeper handed out room number cards to the people in front of him and greeted them with a smile.
Then he looked up and saw the person coming in from outside the door, and his smile immediately widened: "Young Master Shangguan, you're back?"
Meng Wanwan was looking at her room number when she heard the innkeeper's voice. She turned around and looked towards the door. In the glaring sunlight, a man slowly walked in.
Meng Wanwan squinted slightly before she could see his face clearly.
They were stunned.
A cheerful voice rang in my ears: "Hey, shopkeeper, business is booming!"
