Task 2 (Item 128)
Wes looked at his neatly arranged subordinates standing before him, a hint of satisfaction in his heart. He spoke sternly, "We've prepared everything you're required to. Wait a moment, we'll depart immediately. The carriages are already outside. This is your first mission. I hope you'll remember your training requirements. Return safely."
The twenty men below replied in unison, "Yes, sir." Then they lined up in two rows and quickly left through the main hall, hastily preparing their belongings: water bottles, mosquito repellent sachets, and a pre-packaged bundle. Their movements were synchronized and swift.
Meanwhile, Jinluo's side had also quickly prepared. Dressed in smart shirts and black trousers, with roughly the same waistband, a team of ten men waited eagerly. Then, the two groups quickly converged.
Upon meeting, they sized each other up. Seeing how capable both sides were, they were filled with admiration. Following the ten carriages, they quickly set off.
After setting the three women down, Wei Ming flapped his wings and soared into the sky. Upon hearing his master's telepathic message, the others flapped their wings rapidly, creating a ripple in space. Wei Ming then disappeared into the ripple, vanishing instantly.
When it emerged, it was already above the market, its form rapidly shrinking. This time, it seemed to have grown accustomed to its shrunken appearance, becoming only three feet tall. Its wings folded, like a rolling boulder, it descended from the sky. Upon landing, it gently unfolded its wings and slowly descended.
Yun Su and the others were waiting in the courtyard when they saw her come down again. All eyes immediately turned to her.
Upon landing, Wei Ming immediately said, "My lord sent me back to tell you all that the place is called Black Wind Stronghold. The other three ladies are already with my lord. My lord and the others will be arriving at the main road soon."
Yun Su nodded gently and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
At this moment, Rou Rou also got up. Wearing a pink striped long-sleeved dress, she looked at Wei Ming and said, "How are you, sir? Are you alright?"
Upon hearing this question, Wei Ming was momentarily at a loss for words. He thought, 'Shouldn't you ask about the master's opponent? The master is incredibly ruthless.'
His eyes darted around cleverly, and he thought for a moment. He said, "The master is alright, just that his clothes were covered in blood. We burned the clothes and changed him into something else."
After she finished speaking, the girls chuckled softly.
Wei Lan gently inquired, "Thank you for your help. Would you like something to eat? We have roast duck, roast chicken, and pork chops here. Is there anything you like?"
Wei Ming nodded immediately, "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam. I like all of these."
So Wei Lan had the food brought out and placed on the stone table in the courtyard. Wei Ming didn't stand on ceremony and quickly began to eat. Between bites, he said, "This tastes absolutely wonderful. Thank you for your hospitality, Madam. Madam, you are so beautiful."
Yun Su and Bi Yun Yan were both amazed.
Tu Fanghua, who understands the language of flowers, and Wei Lan were initially a little scared. But now, seeing this, their fear vanished. They all felt that Wei Ming was incredibly intelligent, not at all like a demon beast, but more like a human.
After finishing his meal, Wei Ming said, "Would the ladies like to go and see him together? The master will probably be there for a while longer."
Wei Lan, Jie Huayu, Bi Yunyan, Tu Fanghua, Yun Su, and Rou Rou exchanged glances. A hint of longing flickered in their eyes. Those who knew them all nodded in agreement.
Wei Ming instantly grew larger, and with the help of Yun Su and Bi Yun Yan, the others quickly climbed onto his back. Then, with a flap of his wings, he soared into the sky, reaching a height of approximately three to four thousand feet above the clouds.
For Janus, interpreting the language of flowers is a first-time experience of flying so high. High in the air, one suddenly feels a vast and expansive view.
Especially Wei Lan, who hadn't left the market area at all. Now, suspended in the air, she gazed at the vastness of the world. Looking at the dense, towering mountains and rivers, she felt an overwhelming sense of awe.
Wei Mingfei wasn't flying particularly fast. The group, sitting on his back, didn't feel particularly cold; instead, a cool breeze blew by. They probably flew for less than half an hour before reaching the skies above Black Wind Stronghold.
By now, you could see people waiting on the official road. However, there was hardly anyone to be seen on either side of the road. For twenty miles around, it was deserted. This was the formidable reputation of Black Wind Stronghold. Those who could avoid the route would not risk taking this path.
He Chen and the three women were sitting on a smooth, large rock. It was smooth because this massive rock, about ten feet thick, had been cut in half. It was smooth, flat, and clean.
Wei Ming slowly swooped down, quickly reaching the large rock. He gently set the group down, then flew away without even saying goodbye.
He Chen was very surprised to see the group arrive, and then I was very happy. I quickly stepped forward, arms outstretched. For a moment, I didn't know what to do. I stood there, frozen in mid-air.
Everyone giggled and crowded around. At that moment, all the surrounding flowers paled in comparison. Only the towering trees offered a refreshing coolness.
Everyone gathered around the large rock. A moment of silence fell, as they savored the rare tranquility. Time passed quickly. The sound of horses' hooves approached from afar on the official road. Ten carriages slowly appeared before them. The procession of over thirty people had finally arrived.
He Chen quickly arrived at the front of the group. He then proceeded to assign tasks. The waiting crowd gradually boarded the carriages. Once they returned, they could decide whether to stay or leave.
He Chen said to Wes and Jin Luo, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wes and Kinro returned the greeting, saying, "You're too kind, sir. Your men will certainly bring them back to the market safely." Then the two groups quickly set off.
It was almost noon when he appeared beside the group with a light step. He said, "Let's go back too." Then, gathering clouds and wind, a huge cloud bed quickly lifted them all up and floated them aloft.
Looking at the flowers before me, so vibrant and diverse, some breathtakingly beautiful, others serene and ethereal, their purity almost otherworldly. For a moment, I was overwhelmed by their beauty.
The Heaven-Covering Array was activated. A giant eggshell formed in the sky, filled with a vibrant atmosphere. Inside were reclining chairs, rocking chairs, and even chaise lounges. Everyone who saw it was astonished.
A cool breeze blows outside, but inside it's warm and cozy. There's not a trace of cold. Beautiful hair flows freely. Colorful clothes flutter, and there are six large tails.
The eggshells swayed in the clouds, like a young girl sitting on a swing, bobbing back and forth. After two hours, they finally quieted down.
