Chapter 201 Alien Beasts
"Zhao Yu, we are sorry to trouble you again this time. We know that you are the most powerful one in Lingxiao Sect now. We feel most at ease with you guarding them. Let's go to the Misty Forest to see what the strange beast is and what we have found in the Misty Forest." Qiqi said.
"Okay, you guys go ahead, leave this place to me. I'll go back to the valley with you." Zhao Yu said.
Qiqi and the others quickly returned to the valley. Master and his wife were busy in the herb garden. Seeing Qiqi and the others return, they hurried over.
"You're back, Xiaoyu, Xiaoya, are you hungry? Let me serve you some food. Let's eat together. I've prepared everything. It's still hot in the pot." said the master's wife.
"Mom, let me help you." Xiao Rui said and followed his mother to the kitchen.
"Mom, I've been busy lately and haven't come to see you. How are you two?" Xiao Rui still couldn't pronounce the word "father". He had lost his father when he was young and was a stranger to him.
"Very good. Your Uncle Yunlong treats me very well. Don't worry. These pills were made by your Uncle Yunlong. He asked me to give them to you to strengthen your body. I know these pills will have little effect on you, but your Uncle Yunlong did his best. Please accept them."
"Mom, I accept it. Please thank Uncle Yunlong for me." Xiao Rui said.
The master's wife carried Xiaoyu and Xiaoya's food. Xiaorui carried ours. They made several consecutive trips. Soon the table was full. Several people sat down to eat.
Xiao Rui took out a bottle of good wine for Yun Jizi, "Uncle, thank you for being so kind to my mother, and thank you for making the elixir for me. This is the good wine I bought at the foot of the mountain last time. I haven't seen you, so I didn't give it to you. Thank you for taking care of us." Xiao Rui said sincerely.
"Xiao Rui, what are you talking about? We are a family, we are relatives. All of us sitting here are relatives. No need to be so polite." Yun Jizi said.
"Okay, Master is right. We are a family. Let's toast to our family." Qiqi picked up a glass of fruit wine and drank it.
The master's wife watched and smiled. Xiao Rui was becoming more and more sensible.
They finished their meal in a cheerful atmosphere. Qiqi then told her master and mistress the news she had received about the Hidden Sect. They wanted to rush to the Misty Forest as quickly as possible.
The mistress had developed a fondness for the Misty Forest and really wanted to go along. But she was worried about her two children, so she decided to go later when she had time.
Soon the three of them set off. Lingxiao Sect was in Yongning Country, and the Misty Forest was also in Yongning Country, not far away.
Qiqi had three horses ready in her space. The three of them rode down the mountain. Qiqi galloped ahead at lightning speed, while Zhou Jingze and Xiao Rui chased after her.
After three days of continuous travel, they finally arrived at a small town near the Misty Forest. They stopped to eat and gather information. They found a small, busy restaurant, went in, ordered a few small dishes, and began to eat.
Have you heard, brother? Many martial artists are searching the Misty Forest for some strange beast. It looks like a bear, with black and white fur, a small head and legs, a small body, and claws as sharp as knives. They've been searching for days and still can't find it. There used to be a giant python in this Misty Forest, and many people came hoping to eat its meat and drink its blood. It was eventually rescued, but the martial artists haven't found it yet. It just vanished.
It is said that the Misty Forest is very magical, with many unknown things in it. People often cannot get out of it, and many people have disappeared in it.
Qiqi and the others listened to their conversation while eating.
Is what you're saying true? I'd love to check it out, too. I've heard there's a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs there, and some farmers have even found wild ginseng that's been around for ages. They've even sold a lot of silver. We can't catch the beasts, but we can dig up herbs and sell them.
You really dare to go there! The Misty Forest is often covered in fog. Once you enter, you lose your sense of direction and become trapped, unable to escape. There's also miasma in there, which can be fatal if encountered. I wouldn't dare go there.
Bro, I'm done eating. I'm going to pay the bill and leave now. You don't have to go.
The two people walked out of the restaurant one after another and went away.
Qiqi overheard their conversation and beckoned the innkeeper over, asking if there were any inns nearby. The innkeeper told them that all the inns were occupied by people heading to the Misty Forest. There were many makeshift tents set up outside the Misty Forest. They had been exploring the area for a long time, but they didn't know what they had found.
If you don't have a place to stay, I have a few empty rooms in my backyard that you can rent for free. Just eat at my restaurant regularly.
Qiqi and her friends, having heard of the hotel owner's hospitality, borrowed two rooms. Xiao Rui gave them five taels of silver. The grateful hotel owner thanked them profusely and quickly led them to the backyard. The rooms were covered in brand new bedding. The owner explained that these were rooms for his two sons, who were away studying and not at home. They should just sleep here.
I only dare to keep you here because you look kind. If it were someone else, I wouldn't let you stay overnight no matter how much money you offered.
"Thank you very much, boss. You go and do your work. We'll call you if we need anything. We'll go for a walk outside later." Qiqi said.
Qiqi was afraid that their absence would cause the shopkeeper to panic, so she said something in a kind manner.
"Qiqi, we don't have to live here. We can set up a tent outside the Misty Forest like everyone else. I'll guard there, and you can go to the space to rest. Why do you still want to stay here?" Xiao Rui asked.
"Xiao Rui, you don't understand. Qiqi doesn't want others to know that we are here too. It is convenient to do things here. We can teleport to the outskirts of the Misty Forest. Here we can eat hot meals at any time. Although it is not very delicious, it is convenient. Qiqi, am I right?" Zhou Jingze said to Qiqi.
"Brother Jingze, you understand me the best. Xiaorui, go and have a rest first, and we'll go out for a walk later." Qiqi said.
They asked the shopkeeper to bring some hot water, washed up, and then lay down on the bed to rest for quarter of an hour.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze got up and walked out of the room, only to see Xiaorui practicing boxing in the yard.
They went out for a walk. Qiqi put on her hood, while Zhou Jingze and Xiaorui both wore masks. Qiqi had been to the Misty Forest before. She walked down the mountain with familiarity. It was bustling with activity, with many tents set up. There were many vendors selling food.
Qiqi saw this scene, which was much larger than the group that had captured the python. What kind of animal was in the Misty Forest that was worth their high-profile capture?
