Xu Qing couldn't hear the captain's thoughts, but he noticed the gaze in the captain's eyes. The last time he had such a gaze was when the Seventh Blood-pupil was building a sect in Ying Huang Province. A fairy wearing luxurious clothes flew across the sky.
At that time, the captain's gaze was as intense as it was now when he looked at Youjing's clothes. Obviously, anyone who dared to show off in front of him would be attracted to the captain.
Xu Qing shook his head and was too lazy to persuade him. He was already used to it. What happened to the captain in the next few days confirmed Xu Qing's guess!!
He did take a fancy to Mao Bing. Perhaps out of curiosity or to make friends, the captain quietly left and followed Big Mao Bing in the sky, wanting to get closer to play with it many times.
"Big Mao Mao, wait for me. I only have half a month. If I don't greet you and get to know you, I will regret it in the future. There are so many Mao Mao in the Ancient Gazing Continent, but you are the most special."
Perhaps because his words were not sincere or his gaze was not pure, every time the captain didn't get too close, his whole body would shine and he would disappear and be teleported away. However, the captain's perseverance should be the source of his madness, so he would often return and continue to walk sincerely. As he approached, he would call out gently to make himself seem harmless. In order to make it more realistic, he simply took out a peach to eat.
Because only when he ate the peach would his special gentleness unconsciously show.
"Hello, I think you have a special temperament, so I wanted to come and get to know you!"
Shua, Mao Bing whizzed past, ignoring him and teleporting the captain.
Two hours later, the captain's figure ran over from afar, waving his hand as he ran. Don't go, you know, you look like an old friend of mine. He is my best friend!!! "
Shua, he continued to disappear!
Just like that, seven days later, under the captain's persistence and his countless gentle words, Big Mao Bing, who had never experienced anything like this, finally noticed Er Niu.
For the first time, its big eyes showed doubt. It was also the first time it allowed the captain to come closer, within ten feet.
Seeing this, the captain was excited. He had the feeling of getting closer to Li Shitao, so he tried to be gentle.
While eating the peaches, she comforted it gently and tried to get closer. However, Mao Biscuit was very vigilant. Just as the team was about to get closer, it flashed and teleported them away.
The captain panicked and quickly said, "Da Mao Mao, you dropped something. I helped you pick it up."
As he spoke, the team leader endured his heartache and took out a small piece of Red Mother's flesh. It was smaller than a fingernail and slowly approached.
That's right, the moment the piece of meat appeared, Mao Bing's gaze instantly froze and his vigilance relaxed a little. Taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, Team Leader finally brought the piece of meat to Mao Bing and fed it into his mouth. The moment Mao Bing swallowed it, Team Leader used all his strength to grab Mao Bing and tugged at the hundreds of blue hairs on his body.
With a cracking sound, the hundreds of strands of hair broke apart. The stimulation caused Mao Bing's body to tremble, and an intense, blinding light erupted in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding clouds were teleported away, and the team leader's figure also disappeared without a trace.
However, this time was different. After the light of teleportation was released, Mao Biscuit did not continue to play as leisurely as before. There was anger in its large eyes, as if it had been deceived.
The light of teleportation continued to explode, and the pain caused the sky to brighten. Then, its body suddenly rushed out and followed the traces. It locked onto a direction and traversed the void.
Therefore, in the following days, the people of Tai 'an County often saw a shocking scene. Mao Biscuit chased after a figure in the sky with a sea of light. Every time it caught up, it would open its mouth and instantly devour and chew with all its might.
However, it soon seemed to sense that something was wrong, so it continued to search and devour in anger. The cycle repeated over and over again, and the screams of the person being chased and tortured also echoed in all directions.
This scene was also seen by the cultivators of Sealed Sea County. All of them had strange expressions. Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu's faces were filled with regret, but they were not surprised by this.
Zixuan ignored it, and Xu Qing sighed. In his temporary residence, he looked at a blue worm in front of him and shook his head. "Senior Brother, was it worth it?"
The blue worm was the size of a finger and had a human head. It was the team leader. At that moment, he still had a proud expression. "Of course it was worth it. It's fine, it's fine. I guessed that Mao Biscuit must be a female. It's normal for it to be angry, so I prepared a few clones to play with it.
"However, the harvest this time was definitely worth it!
Little Ah Qing, this teleportation formation is not simple. Under the gaze of the broken face, it should have turned into a forbidden zone, but it directly turned into life. This kind of mutation is rare. This is equivalent to the broken face's offspring.
"Its body is broken, so it must have some of the broken face's characteristics. Therefore, even though I used up a piece of Red Mother's flesh, the significance of the dozen or so hairs is greater than anything else."
"As long as you're happy!" Xu Qing did not want to pay attention to it. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and silently meditated.
Seeing this, the team leader turned into a worm and crawled to the side, lying there comfortably. He was thinking about how to use the dozen or so hairs to gain the most benefits.
Just like that, Mao Biscuit continued to crazily bite at the sky. Time slowly passed, and soon, another seven days had passed. Mao Biscuit's aura still did not dissipate.
However, its time to sleep had come. Even if it was not surprised, it still had to return to Ningyang Prefecture. After it returned, it retracted its hairs and turned back into a teleportation formation. It did not move at all.
It was also time for Xu Qing and the others to leave. Thus, while Tai 'an County was on guard, Xu Qing and the others came to the formation. With a flash of light, the teleportation formation was activated.
At the moment of the teleportation, the formation suddenly trembled a few times. It was as if the sleeping Mao Biscuit had sensed the aura that it was obsessed with and wanted to wake up, but was unable to do so. In the end, the formation's light reluctantly flashed, and the group disappeared from Tai 'an County.
After that, their journey crossed many large regions. There were occasional twists and turns in several teleportations, but overall, it was quite smooth. Finally, after two months, their figures appeared on the teleportation formation in the last county.
This county was called Nanxin. It was the enclave closest to the large regions from the imperial capital. It was located in the Gray Sea Region. The Gray Sea Region's sea was different from ordinary seas.
Because flowers similar to dandelions floated in the air all year round, the ground was covered in gray cotton for most of the year. From afar, it looked like a sea, hence its name.
At first glance, it looked similar to the white wind in the Bitter Life Mountain Range, but its nature was obviously different. When Xu Qing and the others appeared, it was the season when the flowers floated in the air.
The gray cotton that filled the sky fell, and when the wind blew, it formed a gray sea that stretched across the heavens and the earth. It looked very beautiful, but to the living beings living here, it was actually a disaster that was unspeakably bitter.
If the gray cotton that filled the sky was inhaled into the body, it would cause the person's life force to drop to zero. Thus, the thousands of living beings living here either had to form a protective barrier around their bodies at all times, or they had to wear something to cover their bodies. It was also because of this characteristic of the large regions that the living beings living here were mostly silent.
When Xu Qing and the others appeared, they saw and felt this. However, unlike Tai 'an County, their arrival did not arouse the vigilance of Nanxin County. The cultivators guarding the formation were mostly scattered. This was not only seen in Nanxin County. In fact, the further they traveled from Feng Hai County, the less vigilance there was.
Clearly, because of the distance between them and the Great Sacred Wave Territory, even if the news spread, it would not cause too much of a stir.
After all, it had nothing to do with them, and was too far away.
As the Nanxin County, which was closest to the imperial capital, it was naturally closer to the imperial capital than the other counties. In fact, there were even some marginalized nobles living here.
Xu Qing and the others did not pay much attention to this. After exiting the Teleportation Formation, they did not plan to leave. They prepared to do what they had done before.
They quickly set up a Teleportation Formation for the final teleportation. They only needed to teleport once more to reach the imperial capital.
Xu Qing gazed off into the distance, looking in the direction of the imperial capital through the gray cotton.
"Huang Yanzhan's younger sister is also in this county." Xu Qing retracted his gaze. He had no idea how to find her.
However, according to what Huang Yanzhan had said, his feather should have been sensed by his younger sister, and she would have found him on her own.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked around, then his gaze finally fell on Ning Yan. Ning Yan's expression was different from when he was in the other counties. Here, he seemed very uneasy, even nervous.
After noticing Xu Qing's gaze, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He quickly walked over and said in a low voice, "Boss, I sensed the aura of my third sister's bloodline. She didn't try to hide it, so it was very clear. I think she must have sensed me as well."
"Princess Anhai?" Xu Qing thought of the princess he had met at the seventh prince's place.
"I think I know why she's here. It's because there's a certain Elder Chang in Nanxin County. She's the third princess and fifth prince's wet nurse."
Because the third princess and fifth prince were outstanding after reaching adulthood, the Human Emperor gave her special permission to retire in this county. This is the hometown of that Elder Chang, "Ning Yan said.
A figure whizzed over from the distant horizon, passing through the gray sea and appearing in front of Xu Qing and the others. It was a maidservant.
The maidservant's gaze was sharp. When she appeared, the first thing she saw was Li Yunshan and Zi Xuan. Then, she looked at Xu Qing and restrained her gaze. Finally, she looked at Ning Yan, who was beside him.
Then she bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Greetings, Twelfth Prince. Her Highness the Princess was accompanying Granny Sun to set up a banquet when she sensed Twelfth Prince's aura. Thus, she ordered this servant to invite you."
