Fubo Lake is not in Yunzhou, but in Qingzhou which is adjacent to Yunzhou. This is why the Maine Coon did not think of Fubo Lake at the first time when Shen Yuan asked about the aquatic creatures.
If it were in ancient times, Shen Yuan's spiritual power would not be able to support flying with a sword, and it would take at least several days to arrive.
But with the development of Daxia's modern society, a normal trip to Qingzhou by train only takes half a day.
However, as a demon cat, Maine Coons cannot appear in areas where people gather.
Places like train stations and airports are of top priority for the control of the Great Xia court.
Its little magic may be able to fool ordinary people, but if it comes into contact with practitioners from the Great Xia court, it will definitely be seen through at a glance.
Especially as the Maine Coon is a demon in the Qi Transformation Realm, if it acts rashly, it may cause huge casualties. At this stage when the spiritual energy tide has just returned, it is a key object of observation.
Shen Yuan had no intention of causing any more trouble, so he could only choose to take a private car to Qingzhou.
Not long after, a white vintage car slowly stopped in front of Shen Yuan's courtyard.
"Excuse me, are you going to Qingzhou, Mr. Shen?"
The online taxi driver in the driving seat looked at Shen Yuan standing at the door in surprise.
In his eyes, Shen Yuan was holding a cute black and white kitten in his arms, with a well-behaved Maine Coon cat lying at his feet, looking like a senior cat slave.
"No other luggage?"
"It's just us." Shen Yuan responded in a flat tone.
Of course he brought his luggage, but everything including the Huiming Sword was stored in his storage ring.
Shen Yuan's words made the driver stunned. He had seen quite a few passengers, but this was the first time he saw someone booking an entire car with just one person and two cats without any other luggage.
"I can save a lot of gas money." The driver secretly rejoiced.
You have to know that interstate online taxis are not cheap. Many people choose to charter a car for the convenience of carrying luggage. This time, Shen Yuan and the two cats can save a lot of money.
"Then Mr. Shen, please get in the car quickly. We will try to reach Qingzhou before dark." The driver greeted warmly.
Shen Yuan nodded, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
The driver looked at the Maine Coon cat that remained there with some confusion. When he was about to ask the cat where to put it, he saw the Maine Coon cat, whose color resembled that of a tiger, stretched out its claws and skillfully opened the car door.
The driver was stunned, and Shen Yuan casually explained.
“My cat is smarter.”
Then, under the driver's gaze, the Maine Coon carefully climbed onto the car. The moment its four feet left the ground, the whole car seemed to be suddenly pressed down by some heavy object.
The Maine Coon turning into a kitten is just an illusion. With its body and weight comparable to that of a tiger, it is very difficult for the car to accommodate it. After getting in the car, it lay on the seat and dared not move.
The driver looked dazed. Shen Yuan coughed and said:
"My cat is a little heavier than the other cats."
The driver swallowed and the smile on his face became a little stiff.
Thanks to the online publicity during this period, ordinary people have gained some general understanding of cultivators and demons, but most ordinary people living in cities will not come into contact with these things personally.
To this day, there are still many people who believe that the videos circulated on the Internet are synthesized with special effects and do not believe that monsters really exist.
The driver was originally one of them, but the intelligence shown by the Maine Coon in opening the car door on its own initiative, and the cat's weight of at least several hundred kilograms despite not looking big, all dispelled the driver's doubts.
The car slowly drove out of the old town. The driver looked at the Maine Coon cat in the back seat while driving the car and whispered:
"Mr. Shen is really lucky. I heard that the price of a mutated pet like this is more expensive than a house. Did you raise this cat from a puppy?" "I picked it up in my yard."
The driver was immediately full of disbelief, but considering the price of such an expensive pet, it was normal to hide something.
Shen Yuan's perfunctory words made the driver a little unhappy, but the curiosity aroused in his heart made him unable to help but continue to take the initiative to talk.
"I heard that a mutant pet like this can be sold for millions now. Is Mr. Shen interested in selling it?"
Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched, and the Maine Coon cat sitting in the back seat looked at the driver with an unfriendly look in his eyes.
If Shen Yuan hadn't been here, the Maine Coon would probably have planned to take action directly.
"This cat is a bit fierce. I am afraid of hurting others, so I have no intention of attacking for the time being."
The driver burst into laughter when he heard this.
"Mr. Shen, you don't know this. Those who are willing to buy this kind of mutant pet are all wealthy people with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
No matter how powerful a pet is, it can never be compared to modern thermal weapons, in my opinion. A-choo! Why do I feel a little cold even though I didn’t turn on the air conditioner? "
Shen Yuan looked at the Maine Coon cat whose eyes were gradually becoming colder, and said casually:
"I'm not interested in selling it right now, so let's change the subject."
The driver felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but since he was provoked, he continued to brag about some internet news to pass the time.
Shen Yuan knew as soon as he heard the driver's words "my buddy", "my brother", and "my friend" were all bragging.
However, some kittens obviously didn't think so. Bai Xue, who was lying in Shen Yuan's arms, was fascinated by what was said. She put her little paws under her body and curiously poked her head out, with an expression of amazement on her face from time to time.
With this IQ, he would probably still be helping the driver count the money even after being sold out.
Time passed quickly along the way, until the afternoon, when a checkpoint with a red light blocked the car's way.
The driver got out of the car to communicate with the official personnel who set up the checkpoint ahead, and soon returned to the car with an annoyed look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen. The checkpoint ahead was set up by the Zhennan Army. It is said that there was a large-scale landslide on the highway ahead. All vehicles that want to go to Qingzhou must return the same way.
Even the residents living in the surrounding mountains were arranged to relocate by the court.”
“This place is only a hundred kilometers away from Qingzhou, and I didn’t expect such a problem to arise.
How about we find a place nearby to rest for the night and then go to Qingzhou tomorrow morning?"
Upon hearing about the Zhennan Army, Shen Yuan's eyes suddenly condensed, and the power of space generated by the Hu Tian magical power was silently attached to his eyes.
Shen Yuan's sight penetrated the checkpoints, mountains, and villages where a large number of residents had been relocated, but he did not see the so-called landslide.
On the contrary, in this scorching afternoon, the mountains revealed an abnormal gloomy atmosphere. The shadows of the trees cast by the sun seemed to have turned into twisted demons with bared fangs and claws.
The entire mountain range exudes an unusual sense of deathly silence and coldness.
Retracting his gaze, Shen Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "I'll get off here."
Under the driver's astonished gaze, Shen Yuan opened the car door and drove away with the two cats.
