Led by Yao Zhi, Mu Qing and his group quickly arrived at their temporary residence in the royal city.
Sure enough, there was a large area, varying in height and size, with stone houses and wooden houses, randomly distributed on a large flat area.
Seeing that there were many empty houses, Mu Qing turned to Yao Zhi and said, "Lady Yao Zhi, let's choose a house here to stay temporarily."
Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Yao Zhi didn't try to persuade him further. She nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back. After a few steps, he turned back and added, "I live not far ahead, around the corner, in that big stone house I just passed by."
"If you need anything, just come and find me anytime."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Mu Qing replied gratefully, "Okay."
Rat-Song-Song led the Fat Rat Clan beastmen to choose several large stone houses nearby to stay in, while Mu Qing and Murong Yu chose a small wooden house in the distance to stay in.
After more than a month of trekking, the two finally settled down.
Jiao Xiang's residence
Jiao You pestered Jiao Xiang, asking him to tell her about the interesting things that had happened in the past few months. They talked until late at night.
In the end, Jiao Xiang was so sleepy that he ignored Jiao You, who was still rambling on beside him, and fell asleep.
Therefore, he did not hear Jiao You say that he was going to visit Mu Qing the next day.
Jiaoyou learned from Jiaoxiang about their experiences over the past few months, the awakening situation of various tribes in Awakening Valley, including the changes in Awakening Grass and Awakening Lake, as well as Muqing's various shocking encounters on the return journey.
The outing left me wanting more, and my admiration for my elder brother deepened even further.
At the same time, they also became somewhat curious about Mu Qing, who could get close to all kinds of animals.
Upon learning that Mu Qing was a member of the Wood Spirit Clan, he became even more excited and went to Mu Qing's residence early the next morning to visit him.
Mu Qing's residence
As soon as Mu Qing opened the courtyard gate, she saw Jiao You squatting at the entrance, playing with mud by poking at it with a twig. She didn't know how long he had been waiting.
When Jiao You saw that it was Mu Qing, he was overjoyed. He threw away the withered branch in his hand, stood up, and moved closer to him, asking, "I heard you are from the Wood Spirit Clan? That's amazing."
Jiaoyou: "How did you manage to get all the animals to treat you so well? I heard from my brother that many animals brought you food on your way back."
"And the giant crocodiles of Black Swamp Forest, they didn't attack you at all! In fact, because of you, none of the giant crocodiles in the entire Black Swamp Lake attacked the other beastmen. How did you manage that? You're truly amazing..."
After saying that, she lowered her head and looked at Mu Qing with bright eyes, waiting for his answer, her eyes full of surprise and longing.
Looking at Jiao You, who was two heads taller than him, Mu Qing realized that Jiao You was still several years away from adulthood and was currently an underage beastman. He couldn't help but sigh, "Beastmen with Jiao blood are really strong."
Mu Qing: "It's probably due to my constitution, but I'm not really sure."
Upon hearing this, Jiaoyou nodded vigorously in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, that must be it."
"It must be because you are a Wood Spirit. I heard the old beastmen in the clan say that the Wood Spirit is the rarest and has extraordinary abilities."
At this point, the rambling voice of the picnic paused, as if he had thought of something. After a moment, he became even more excited and said, "Mu Qing, Mu Qing, let's go to the Misty Forest!"
Jiaoyou: "With your abilities, we will definitely be able to enter the forest safely."
"It is said that there are many treasures in the Misty Forest, including treasures that can enhance combat power."
Jiao Xiang came looking for someone and happened to overhear Jiao You persuading Mu Qing to go to the Misty Forest.
Jiao Xiang: "..."
