After leaving the Mother Nest, Wang Yao was drenched in sweat. He was filled with lingering fear and dared not linger in Mother City. He hurriedly asked a Clan B warrior near the Mother Nest for directions and went straight back to the Protocol Department building.
The so-called Protocol Department Building is the No. 1 Mud Pillar Building where he and Tongxuan settled Fuzhong when they came to Muyi City. It is located on the outermost edge of Muyi City. Obviously, the Yi Clan is still very wary of outsiders and only wants to settle them outside the city for easy prevention and management.
The distance from the Mother Nest to Building No. 1 is not short. By the time Wang Yao jogged to the mud pillar of Building No. 1, it was already dark. His mood had also calmed down. He thought to himself that Madam Lian and he were probably joking.
The Renyi clan has strict rules for its succession. Now that I've married Lady Lian, what am I supposed to do with Commander Lang and Princess Jinxiu? Princess Jinxiu is at the prime of her youth; surely she wouldn't refuse to be the clan leader? That's impossible.
The No. 1 building houses warriors of the B clan, including Xiao Jing, who had led the way. Upon seeing Wang Yao running away, she hurriedly rode her fat worm down from the top of the mud pillar to greet him.
"Lord Matchmaker, your room is VIP Room 1 at the top of the building. Please come up with me." Xiao Jing said, implying that she wanted Wang Yao to fly up from the bottom of the Mud Pillar Building with her.
"Um...that...I've run out of immortal spiritual power, and I can't absorb spiritual energy in the Holy Domain, so I can't fly right now. Would you mind sending me up, Miss Xiaojing?" Wang Yao blushed as soon as he heard this. He was a half-baked immortal who had just entered the profession and hadn't even learned to fly yet, so he could only make up a random excuse to cover up his embarrassment.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll lend you my Yi Zhu. That way, it'll be more convenient for the Matchmaker to come and go." Xiao Jing didn't show any mocking expression on her face. It seems that the Yi Clan's training of the concierge staff is quite good, and they do have some professional qualities.
As she spoke, Xiao Jing jumped off the fat worm she was riding and gently patted its head.
"Third Master, from now on you will be serving the God of Love. Be obedient, okay?" Xiao Jing said softly to the fat worm.
The fat worm flapped its wings, and a head that looked like a Shar Pei shook, making it impossible to tell whether it was willing or not.
"This... is this Yizhu?" Wang Yao looked at the fat worm with great surprise.
“Yes, he’s our best friend, someone we’d share life and death with. You mustn’t mistreat him,” Xiao Jing said to Wang Yao with a smile.
"He... was also born to Lady Lian?" Although Wang Yao had heard Tong Xuan's introduction, looking at this fat worm, which was not only vastly different from the Yi Clan warriors but also unlike those slumbering guards, he found it hard to believe and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, he's a mutant. When the Queen Mother gives birth to her male offspring, mutations often occur, and the mutant becomes Yizhu. He helps us save energy and accompanies us every day. He's our good partner and good brother. Third Master and I were born of the same mother, so you must treat him well."
Xiao Jing said solemnly.
"Born from the same child?" Wang Yao asked uncertainly.
“Yes, only twins born from the same birth will cooperate with each other. If they are not twins, Otsuki won’t listen to her.” Shizuka nodded repeatedly.
"Then I..." Wang Yao finally understood why some of the Yi tribe warriors rode fat insects while others did not. The reason was now clear.
Lady Lian's offspring were mostly female, and some of the males were not mutated. Therefore, there were not enough fat worms to go around compared to the females, so only some of the B-clan warriors could ride the fat worms.
"It's alright, Lord Yue, please feel free to ride. I've already spoken to Third Master. It's fine for Lord Yue to ride occasionally, as long as you don't fly long distances," Xiao Jing said with a smile.
"He's called Third Master? That's quite a unique title. Shouldn't you call him Third Brother or Third Brother?" Wang Yao finally felt relieved, walked over to the fat worm, and patted its soft back.
“We’ve always called him that, Grandpa, Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa… What you’re saying does make some sense,” Xiao Jing said with a smile.
"Then let's go back to the room first. Third Master, take it easy, I'm a fairy and I'm afraid of falling." Wang Yao laughed, climbed onto the fat worm's back, and patted its round head.
The fat worm silently flapped its wings and rose up. Xiao Jing also popped out a pair of wings from her back and followed the fat worm upwards. Wang Yao saw that as they rose, rows of dark holes appeared on the mud pillar building, which looked very similar to cave dwellings.
Previously, these cave entrances were frequented by numerous Yi tribesmen, and even the areas of the Mud Pillar Building without entrances were overrun with them. But now, each cave entrance is open and deserted, without a single Yi tribesman in sight. The entire Mother City is the same, resembling a ghost town.
The fat worm climbed all the way to the vicinity of the cone-shaped tip of the mud pillar building before flying directly into a hole beside it. Although it was almost evening outside, Wang Yao's eyes dimmed for a moment after entering the mud pillar. It wasn't until the fat worm stopped that Wang Yao's eyes adjusted to the darkness inside the mud pillar.
The first thing that caught Wang Yao's eye was a simple, ancient stone gate. He then discovered that the gate belonged to a large, cylindrical mud house in front of him, with a tall, cone-shaped roof rising above it.
There is a large space between the dome and the conical spire, which makes the sound of speaking inside the mud pillars echo like the sound of a valley, similar to some large churches in the human world.
The cylindrical mud house in front of us is like a small room inside a church facing the dome, but the two are vastly different in size. Even from the top of this building, the Yi Clan Mud Pillar Building is much more magnificent than the most spectacular church in the human world.
