Yun Zheng was actually very curious about what kind of outrageous thing had her uncle Di Nian, whom she had never met, done?
So many nicknames, all contain the word "dog".
Qing Feng, who was standing by, had a complicated and hesitant expression on his face. He finally said, "Empress, this ancient ferocious beast Taotie actually escaped from our Wanshuo Palace."
"About five or six years ago, the ancient ferocious beast Taotie attempted to devour the Emperor's Primordial Chaos Divine Body, but was counter-sealed by the Emperor and suppressed beneath the cliffs of Wanshuo Palace."
"Then how did it escape?" Yun Zheng asked in surprise.
"Taotie possesses the ability to devour everything, including the illusory sealing barrier," Qingfeng explained seriously. "It secretly nibbled at a corner of the sealing barrier. Over time, it gnawed a hole and then escaped while the Emperor was away."
At this time, Qiongqi in the Fengxing space spoke.
"That Taotie guy still has his brain." Qiongqi's tone was three parts sarcasm and three parts surprise.
Yun Zheng: “…”
Qiongqi pondered for a moment, then said in a gloomy tone, "Yun Zheng Ant, I'm warning you, don't ever contract the Ancient Taotie, because it can devour everything you have."
"I will never contract it." Yun Zheng said slowly, with a look of deep melancholy. She had heard of the 'reputation' of Taotie before.
Eight words suddenly popped up in her mind: A glutton in hand, a beggar on body.
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng immediately shook her head and threw the idea away.
Even if it wasn't for Taotie, she still had to go to the Laoyue Mountains, because Di Feng... bah, Uncle Di Nian might appear there.
"Empress, someone is coming." Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and reminded in a low voice.
"You hide first."
Qingfeng responded respectfully and then disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared.
Because she had left in a hurry just now, Yun Zheng was still wearing a blood-stained red dress, and her delicate and bright little face showed a bit of weakness.
"Miss, are you okay?" A voice as sweet as an oriole's song came from behind Yun Zheng, gentle and soft, and especially healing.
Yun Zheng turned around and saw a man and a woman standing not far away. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The girl who had just spoken had a pair of slightly pointed ears and black eyes. She was wearing a green dress, and her long hair, which looked like gilded gold, fluttered on her shoulders, making her look elegant and beautiful.
The other young boy was dressed similarly and looked very similar to the girl, so they must be twin siblings.
If she guessed correctly, they were the elves, one of the eight major races.
When they saw Yun Zheng, there was a look of amazement in their eyes, and they thought to themselves that the human girl in front of them was very beautiful.
"Are you injured? Do you need our help?" The elf girl frowned slightly after noticing Yun Zheng's bloody clothes, and asked in a soft voice.
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm almost well now, thank you."
Compared with the elf girl's enthusiasm and kindness, the elf boy next to her seemed rather cold, and his expression did not change much.
The elf girl seemed to remember something. She smiled and introduced herself, "My name is Mu Yin, and this is my expressionless brother Mu Chu."
The elf boy remained calm.
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows slightly: "..." The elves in the Holy Ruins look... very kind and cute.
"Hello, my name is Yun Zheng."
She looked at Yun Zheng and asked, "Do you want to go to the Laoyue Mountains?"
Yun Zheng nodded, "Well, I want to go and see it for myself."
Mu Yin's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, and she said sheepishly, "My brother and I are both visiting the Land of the Dead for the first time. If it's convenient, could you take us to the Branded Moon Mountains?"
Yun Zheng was silent for two seconds.
"To be honest, I just came to the Holy Ruins from the lower continents, and I have no idea about the geographical location here."
Upon hearing this, the elf boy Mu Chu raised his eyes slightly and looked at her with a hint of doubt and inquiry.
Just came from the lower continent?
Mu Yin was stunned for a moment, then she didn't know what she thought of, and shyly made an invitation: "It's okay, I still want to invite you to join us."
"My brother and I are both directionally challenged. We've been walking back and forth here for a few days and can't find a way out. It should be easier if the three of us walk together."
"Okay." Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows.
Before the three of them officially set off, Yun Zheng found a secluded place and changed her clothes. Now she was wearing a white dress, and her smile made her look like an innocent and simple beautiful girl.
Along the way, Mu Yin was like a little chatterbox, full of enthusiasm, and introduced a lot of things about the Holy Ruins to Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng was actually very curious about one thing. She asked Mu Yin, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Then, some elf-eared girls clasped their hands together reverently before their chests and said with a smile, "We elves have a power that allows us to distinguish between good and evil."
Yun Zheng asked with interest, "Am I good?"
"You are fine." Mu Yin smiled with curved eyebrows.
Mu Chu on the side glanced at Mu Yin, then lowered his eyes slightly. Mu Yin lied. In fact, she did not have the ability to distinguish between good and evil, but had another ability - a prophet.
However, her identity must not be revealed at all, lest those people with ulterior motives want to control her.
Moreover, few people within the elves know about it.
Not long ago, when Mu Yin first saw this human girl, she said to him in a serious tone, "Brother, I saw a scene from the future again. She saved my life from atop a bloody ruin."
"She was holding a snow-white bow and arrow."
Although Mu Chu was quite surprised by this, he believed his sister's words and did not intend to stop his sister from getting close to Yun Zheng.
Along the way, while Mu Chu was chatting, Yun Zheng calmly asked some questions about Uncle Di Nian.
It turns out that Di Nian was called the 'Emperor Mad Dog' because of some of his unpleasant performances at the Tianling Conference.
He was called "Emperor Old Dog" because he would bet with people everywhere and always won.
Moreover, he would disguise himself in various identities to gamble with different people. Whenever someone lost the bet, he would reveal his identity, making them so angry that they would immediately start fighting with him.
Yun Zheng touched her mouth to cover up: "..." Cough cough.
And he was called the 'Emperor Flower Dog', which is a long story.
First of all, he was very handsome and romantic, which naturally attracted many women to fall in love with him. However, he was called "Emperor Flower Dog" not because of women, but because of——
Every time he appeared, he would wear a beautiful flower on the jade belt around his waist, which looked a bit coquettish.
Yun Zheng's face was filled with sadness. Was she considering whether to go and recognize her uncle?!
