Chapter 144 Arrival at Miao Territory
Chapter 144 Arrival at Miao Territory
The next day, Lin Shen left the room at dawn.
Lin Shen looked at the sky, which seemed to be neither bright nor dim, and thought: Now that Yueru’s tragedy has been avoided, the next one will be Ling’er.
That combined water monster was indeed very difficult to deal with, because it had become immortal with the blessing of Nuwa's blood.
What we can do now is to improve our strength and strive to win even in the worst case scenario.
The other is to find a way to prevent the Moon Worshiper and the Water Monster from merging during the battle.
I hope the remaining three swords can help me realize my wish and end that tragedy.
By the way, I haven’t eaten those two Nine Revolutions Great Rejuvenation Pills yet. Otherwise, I should eat them now and improve my strength later.
So Lin Shen returned to the room, took out the two pills and swallowed them, then sat quietly in the room to absorb the power of the pills.
Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu and Jiang Waner were packing their things and gathered in front of Lin Shen's door.
But seeing that Lin Shen had not come out, Zhao Linger knocked on the door, and Lin Shen asked from inside, "Who is it?"
Zhao Linger said, "It's me, Linger. Brother Anos, it's time for us to set off."
Lin Shen said, "Okay, I'll be right out."
At this time, Jiu Jianxian, Tai Wu, and Cao Gu arrived. Tai Wu asked, "Are we leaving now?"
Lin Yueru said, "Yes, where is Uncle Dugu?"
Cao Gu said, "The headmaster couldn't come due to something, so he asked the three of us to take his place."
The Drunken Swordsman looked at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Boy, we are master and disciple. I have taught you everything I can. The rest is up to you.
You haven't taken the entrance test yet, so you can only be considered half a Shushan disciple.
Shushan is not in a position to be directly involved in Miaojiang affairs, so it would be more appropriate for you to go and investigate on our behalf. If you find any information, please write back immediately."
Li Xiaoyao said, "Yes, Master!"
At this time, Lin Shen walked out of the room and said to Li Xiaoyao and the other four, "Are you ready?"
Anu said, "I've been ready and waiting for you."
Lin Shen looked at Jiang Wan'er and asked, "Miss Jiang, our trip to Miaojiang this time will be very dangerous, so I'm giving you the choice.
If you want to stay, please let Senior Jiu Jianxian and the others say hello and ask you to stay here and wait for us to come back;
If you want to go, I advise you to be prepared for the possibility of not coming back."
Anu was unhappy when he heard this and said, "Brother Anos, what are you talking about!"
Lin Shen glanced at Anu and said, "I know what I am doing, because the road ahead is difficult and dangerous. This time I have to face the people of the Moon Worship Cult directly, which is different from before.
If you are not careful, you could lose your life. That is why I don’t want to make the decision for Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Wan'er looked at Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er and the others, pondered for a moment, and then closed her eyes. Zhao Ling'er poked Lin Shen with her finger and said, "Brother Anos, what you said is a bit too harsh."
Jiang Wan'er pursed her lips and said, "My benefactor, I know you're worried that I'll be in danger. But I've made up my mind: I'll go to Miaojiang with you!"
Lin Shen said, "You better think it over carefully. Don't joke with your life! It's not too late to regret now."
Lin Yueru said, "Anos, what's wrong with you today? I always feel like you're chasing Miss Jiang away."
Lin Shen said, "I'm not trying to chase her away, but I feel that this trip to Miaojiang has nothing to do with her.
I don't want her to come with us out of gratitude for saving me."
Jiang Wan'er understood Lin Shen's meaning and said, "I've thought it through clearly. I want to go with you.
In the words of my benefactor: I know what I am doing.”
Lin Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Okay then."
Lin Shen then walked over to Li Xiaoyao and the others and asked, "Senior Drunken Sword Immortal, the two Taoist priests, do you have anything else to say? We are about to set off."
Taiwu and Caogu said in unison, "You... take care!"
Lin Shen nodded and said, "We should go."
After saying that, Lin Shen began to cast a spell. A magic circle appeared under the feet of the six people, and in a flash, the six people disappeared.
The Drunken Sword Immortal muttered, "Little Li, Anos, whether Miaojiang can be safe this time depends on you."
When Lin Shen and the other six opened their eyes again, they had already arrived at the Shenmu Forest. The towering trees that reached the sky made Li Xiaoyao and the others stunned.
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Anos, where did you teleport us to?"
Before Lin Shen could open his mouth, Anu interrupted and said, "This is the Shenmu Forest, the residence of the Saint Aunt."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Why did you bring us here?"
Lin Shen said, "After all, the golden elixir that Ling'er awakened is still with the Saint Aunt, so we need to go to her."
Li Xiaoyao said, "I see."
So the group walked towards the Saint Aunt's house. When they arrived in front of a small wooden house, Anu said, "Brother Li, Sister Ling'er, Sister Yueru, Sister Jiang, that is the wooden house where my mother-in-law lives."
After saying that, Anu ran to the door of the cabin and knocked. An old lady inside asked, "Who is it?"
Anu shouted, "Grandma, it's me, Anu is back."
The door of the wooden house was opened, and the Saint Lady came out. She looked and saw that it was really Anu.
Anu hugged the Saint Aunt's neck and said, "Grandma, how are you these days? Anu misses you so much."
The Saint Lady said, "Okay, okay, everything is fine, Grandma. You should get down first, or your neck will be gone.
You are still as crazy as ever. By the way, Anu, where is the princess?
Anu said, "Sister Ling'er is back, and Brother Anos is here too."
Lin Shen nudged Zhao Linger, who bowed to the Saint Aunt and said, "Linger greets the Saint Aunt."
The Saint Aunt walked up to Zhao Linger in two steps on crutches, helped Zhao Linger up and said, "I can't bear it. I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Zhao Linger supported the Saint Aunt and said, "Grandma, please don't do this. It's frustrating for Linger."
Lin Shen walked up to the Saint Aunt and said, "Grandma Saint Aunt, is Ling'er's awakening golden elixir ready?"
The Saint Lady said, "I refined it a few days ago, but I haven't seen you come to get the medicine.
(Looking at Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Jiang Waner) Who are these three?
Anu said, "It's all Anu's fault. I was so happy to see my mother-in-law that I forgot to introduce her to me."
Then she introduced Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Jiang Waner to the Saint Lady. The three of them bowed to the Saint Lady in turn, and the Saint Lady nodded in response.
Anu said, "Let's go into the hut and talk. We shouldn't be exposed to the sun outside. A lot of interesting things happened along the way. Anu will tell her mother-in-law about them."
The Saint said, "Then I am all ears." Then she spread out her palm, pointed to the wooden house, and said, "Dear guests, please come in."
Lin Shen also pointed to the wooden house and said, "Please!"
So the group went into the cabin, and Anu told the Saint Aunt everything that had happened along the way. Anu started talking as soon as he entered the cabin and did not stop until dusk.
On the one hand, the Saint Lady lamented that Anu had made a lot of progress along the way, and on the other hand, she was surprised at Lin Shen's strength and his identity as a time traveler, because when Lin Shen took the phoenix eggshell last time, he did not tell the Saint Lady that he was a time traveler.
The Saint Aunt treated Lin Shen and his group to dinner, and Anu and Zhao Linger also helped out.
After dinner, the Saint Lady arranged accommodation for Lin Shen and his group.
Lin Shen didn't need to sleep at night, so he walked out of the cabin and looked up at the starry sky. At this time, he heard someone calling him from behind...
