However, it is obvious that Ji Fengming's disregard for face is not a recent development.
He could feel the little thing in his arms still trembling and twitching. He pressed his big hand directly on Qingluan and wouldn't take it off, as if he was saying silently: Keep laughing, keep laughing!
Qingluan: "..."
After a long while, he helplessly transmitted his thoughts, saying, "Master, if you don't take your hand away, you will lose me forever!"
"With such a chatterbox, it's good to have some peace and quiet now that he's gone," Ji Fengming said nonchalantly, but his hand had already been removed. Before putting his hand down, he used his divine sense to scan the little one in his arms, making sure that he hadn't caused any problems by covering him up.
The Azure Phoenix is simply amazing!
That damn master, who's the more talkative one between them?!
His ability to cry "stop thief!" is unparalleled in the world!
The master and servant were engaged in a lively and back-and-forth battle.
Suddenly, Ji Fengming sensed several life forms flashing by in the dilapidated town ahead. He couldn't tell if they were humans or some other living creatures, but their speed was astonishing. If he were to encounter them, he wasn't confident he could catch up or escape.
"Qingluan, do you sense anything ahead?" Ji Fengming asked Qingluan telepathically.
"There seems to be someone ahead, but his aura is strange and very weak, like someone who is about to die." Qingluan peeked out with her little head, the three golden feathers on her head standing tall.
For someone who's about to die to move so fast, they must be at least a master at the Great Completion stage!
Ji Fengming suddenly felt less inclined to go in.
The situation on the Danling Continent is not like it used to be in the Great Zhao.
Even when he was in danger, he was confident that he could hold out until the people from Donglongmen came to his aid.
But there is no Eastern Dragon Gate on the Danling Continent, and he doesn't know where his parents, Black Owl, Little Yao'er, and Little Jiu are.
If we were to fall into a predicament now, we would truly be left only to wait for death alone.
Ji Fengming stopped and looked ahead warily, then slowly backed away—he had spotted the man, and the man must have spotted him too.
When the enemy and friend are unclear, it's always better to be a little cowardly.
But he had only taken two steps back when the aura from the town quickly reached a point five meters away from him.
He was indeed a person; at least his limbs and facial features looked exactly like a human's.
But he was on all fours, running and standing like an animal, and he was covered with animal skins strung together with grass vines.
At this moment, he had a weasel with its neck bitten off in his mouth, and fresh blood was dripping down his chin. The horrible bloodstains and filth completely obscured his original appearance, and only his handsome features could be vaguely seen.
Especially his eyes, which were like those of a wolf or a leopard—sharp, fierce, and wary, yet also carrying a hint of confusion.
His expression was exactly like that of a wild animal seeing a sudden, unfamiliar intruder.
But then, the sharpness and ferocity in his eyes disappeared, leaving only vigilance and confusion, and finally a strange sense of familiarity.
Ji Fengming was also stunned, completely bewildered:
What's going on here?
Orc? Or wolf child?
What exactly happened to Liuxiang Town to make it so dilapidated and to raise such a strange person?
The orc (let's call him that for now) sat down on the ground as if by magic, took the dead rat-weasel from his mouth, and handed it to Ji Fengming. He grunted twice, cautiously expressing his goodwill first.
"For me?" Ji Fengming was quite surprised.
Logically, this thing should pounce on and bite a stranger when it sees him.
