"Yes, yes, yes!" As if waking from a dream, Commander Lang was instantly invigorated. He stood up abruptly and knelt down before Lady Lian with a "plop," kowtowing dozens of times on the ground.
"Mother-in-law, your son-in-law is very polite. Your son-in-law is willing to be eaten by Jinxiu..." Lang Shuai called out.
"I...I can't..." Jinxiu was held in Lady Lian's arms, her face flushed. She struggled to raise her head, wanting to say something to the Marshal Lang on the ground, but Lady Lian stopped her.
"Don't speak, close your eyes and rest!" As Lady Lian spoke, a thin red halo appeared on Jinxiu's body. She tilted her head back and then slumped down. Her body gradually changed and transformed into an image similar to Lady Lian's original form, which had no facial features.
“I’ll take Jinxiu into the Mother Nest to heal her wounds. Xiaojing, please ask the Old Man of the Moon and his son, their attendants, and the guests, including Nalang Shuai, to rest in the Protocol Department building. We can talk about it later. Everyone, please clean up the scene and leave.”
Lady Lian gave an order, and two red hands placed Hui Shuo and Qing He onto the ground respectively.
"What about me? What about me?" Upon seeing this situation, Li Kui hurriedly jumped up and down on Lady Lian's shoulder and shouted loudly.
"Aren't you my brother? Of course you'll come with me into the Mother Nest." Lady Lian replied calmly. Before she finished speaking, she had already carried Jinxiu and flown towards the center of Mother City, towards the large pit where the Mother Nest used to be located.
"I...I'm not...Sister, is it necessary?...There's no such rule in the Immortal Realm..." Li Kui's anxious voice grew softer and softer as Lady Lian's figure disappeared between the mud pillars.
Xiao Jing, following Madam Lian's orders, came to invite Wang Yao and Commander Lang to rest in the Protocol Department building. However, she found Commander Lang still kneeling there, his eyes still fixed on the direction where Madam Lian had disappeared.
"Get up. Jinxiu will be your wife sooner or later, what's the rush?" Wang Yao patted Lang Shuai on the shoulder.
"Ah! Thank you, Lord Yue Lao! I, General Lang, have made a grave mistake and was completely distracted. It is thanks to you, Lord Yue Lao, that Princess Jinxiu's life was saved." General Lang finally came to his senses and hurriedly thanked Wang Yao.
"It was her mother who saved Jinxiu, so don't thank me. And this is...?" Wang Yao waved his hand and turned to look at the burly man who had been standing to the side in a daze.
"Oh, this is the powerful Mud Seed expert Pang Zhen. Pang Zhen, come and greet the Old Man of the Moon." Lang Shuai hurriedly introduced the two. Only then did Pang Zhen come to his senses and bow deeply to Wang Yao twice.
“The young lady is waiting. Let’s talk as we walk. Um… Hero Pang, right? Could you help me train this man a bit?” Wang Yao pointed to Xiao Jing, who was waiting on the side, and then to Qing He, who was lying on the ground and tied up tightly, and said to Pang Zhen.
"Yes!" Pang Zhen was easy to talk to. He reached out and picked up Qinghe, but then found it inconvenient to carry her, so he simply carried her on his shoulder.
"Your subordinates? How did they end up like this?" Putting aside the matter of Jinxiu for the time being, Commander Lang regained his shrewd nature and looked at Qinghe with suspicion.
"This guy is really disobedient, he needs to be taught a lesson." Wang Yao replied while calling to Hui Shuo, and the group followed Xiao Jing towards the outside of Muyi City.
"Disobedient? What use is this subordinate? Why not just kill him?" General Lang asked in astonishment.
"Alas, I am an immortal, not from your Holy Realm. We don't have the rule of killing subordinates indiscriminately. We must properly train her before killing her. Otherwise, it would be called killing without teaching, a very barbaric act that would be despised by our colleagues in the Heavenly Court."
Wang Yao shook his head and said.
"To punish without prior instruction?" Commander Lang frowned, looking as if he didn't understand.
"Hey! Didn't you go to the Yellow Clan to find your mud-blooded wife and children? Why are you in Muyi City?" Wang Yao didn't give Lang Shuai time to think. He was still thinking about the five coincidences, so he quickly changed the subject and asked.
"Well..." Upon hearing Wang Yao's question, Lang Shuai pondered for a moment with a complicated expression, then turned his head to look in the direction where Madam Lian and her daughter had left before hesitatingly speaking.
It turned out that when Commander Lang entered the Huang tribe, he searched for Luanshi City, only to find that Luanshi City had been taken back by the Huang tribe and was no longer used as a settlement for the Mud Clan. The Mud Clan members of Luanshi City and the entire tribe had either been captured by the Huang tribe's army and distributed to various major tribes as slaves, or had been massacred.
However, Lang Shuai discovered that some of the Mud Seeds had managed to escape from the Yellow Clan during the chaos. After all, the Mud Seeds were good at burrowing and digging, and the internal strife within the Yellow Clan had not yet been completely quelled. Therefore, the Yellow Clan had no way to deal with the inferior species that had escaped from the area under their control.
Especially in the border area between the Yellow Clan and the Yi Clan, since the great war had just ended, the border forces of both the Yellow Clan and the Yi Clan were extremely weak, resulting in a large blind spot in their control over this area. Therefore, not only the Mud Clan, but also a large number of other inferior Yellow Clan members fled to this place.
Lang Shuai's mud-type wife and children also fled the Huang Clan's controlled area by following the route to the Yi Clan. After all, his mud-type wife was once a high-ranking official in Luan Shi City and learned about the turmoil within the clan early on, so she escaped in time and managed to find a way to survive with the children.
So General Lang went to the border area between the Huang and Yi tribes to search for his wife and children. It was there that he met Pang Zhen and learned that there were too many inferior people who had fled from the Huang tribe. Since the border area was limited, a conflict soon broke out among the fugitives.
Only powerful beings can seize a piece of land in this area to survive; those with weaker strength can only continue to migrate to the heartland of the Yi tribe.
After all, the Yi tribe was also extremely vulnerable after the great war. Although the Yi tribe usually killed any fleeing inferior members of the Huang tribe, they were not like the Huang tribe and did not have an organized approach to eradicate the inferior members of the Huang tribe.
