Chapter 183.1: Part 1

Chapter 183: Audience With the King (1)

In the midst of the bamboo garden, Lu Heng conversed with the little fox before him with great interest.

And the Feather Man Tribe girl in that bottle occasionally interjected a few words. Only then did Lu Heng realize that the little girl soaking in "formaldehyde" in front of him was actually the daughter of the king of Feather Man Country.

No wonder she was able to invite the ten witches of the Spirit Mountain, turns out she's a girl with a background.

However, despite her noble status, this little girl is devoid of any arrogance and bears no resemblance to the mannerisms of some bureaucrat's offspring. In fact, she is more akin to an ordinary girl from a neighboring household, quite distinct from the nobility that Lu Heng became familiar with after he descended the mountain.

After detailed inquiries, it was revealed that Feather Man Country is actually a kingdom situated in the sky. All of its people are cultivators with formidable skills.

However, despite a long lifespan, there were not many people in the country.

According to Yu Ren Ya's account, the entire population of Feather Man Country is less than ten thousand people.

Due to the scarce population and remote location far from the mundane world, the desire for fame and fortune is weak in Feather Man Country, where the majority are reclusive cultivators who dedicate themselves to intensive cultivation and have little contact with the outside world.

After all, in Feather Man Country, everyone cultivates fasting and doesn't need to eat. Besides their devotion to their deities, what the people of Feather Man Country love the most is cultivating themselves.

Because of contentment, there is no desire, and therefore no pursuit.

Listening to Yu Ren Ya talk about it, they seemed to have a carefree attitude in Feather Man Country, where they would not tolerate any scheming and disturbances while they focused on cultivating their spiritual practices.

Regarding the little fox, Lu Heng had many conversations with her about topics related to spiritual practice.

The little fox was deeply grateful, thinking that the Wolf God was guiding her. However, Lu Heng was actually just gaining knowledge about the demon cultivator's training.

After all, as someone who cultivated Heavenly Thunder, he was not following the same path as an ordinary demon cultivator.

Afterwards, Lu Heng stopped talking.

Huo Feng inside the house remained unable to come out, and Wu Gu had also lost her voice.

After a weary night, Wu Gu walked out of the house and said, "Thank goodness, I have fulfilled my duty and finally cured the patient. The Wolf God, you can go in to see her, but for now, she needs rest, so please don't disturb her with loud noises."

After speaking, Wu Gu dragged the little fox aside to discuss the request for treating the little fox's illness.

After Wu Gu left, Lu Heng led Gu Yan and Xiao Ai into the house. Even the Bo horse stood outside the window, sticking his head inside to peek.

Upon pushing the door open, what appeared before the eyes of the crowd was a bed made of bamboo.

Upon the bamboo couch, a delicate woman lay quietly in slumber.

The thin bedclothes were draped over her body, concealing her bare form.

The clothes of the Yun sect were piled up on the side. The quilt covering them exposed the fair skin and delicate clavicle of the woman.

Even in the state of deep sleep with closed eyes, there is still a delicate and charming quality.

In the Fan Jie Mountain, as the day of the Treasure Conference approached, the atmosphere grew increasingly lively.

Many extraordinary people and eccentric cultivators, have now traveled a long way across the sea to arrive at Fan Jie Mountain, in preparation for attending the Mermaid Kingdom's biennial event.

Above the South Sea, there are many vessels currently making their way towards the direction of the Mermaid Kingdom.

It can be deemed exceptionally lively.

However, during the time when various South Sea countries were all busy gathering and celebrating in the Mermaid Kingdom, a delightful little child had set foot on the land of the Fire Pass Country, located far to the north of the Mermaid Kingdom.

Appearing before him was South Sea City, the southernmost border city of the Fire Pass Country.

Before this, Lu Heng used to set sail from here.

Compared to the increasingly bustling Fan Jie Mountain, the present South Sea City appears rather desolate.

As the Erba God Man was rumored to have been slain by the ancient Wolf God, it no longer rampaged through the South Sea, causing the boatmen to be willing to venture out to sea. Thus, the scene of South Sea City was even livelier than when Lu Heng and his companions arrived.

Standing outside the city gate, the little boy looked up at the large characters inscribed on it and whispered to himself.

"This should be within the territory of Fire Pass Country... Should we go into the city to inquire?"

Another voice echoed inside the little boy's body.

"The grilled crimson scorpionfish in South Sea City is truly remarkable. Even if you are unable to obtain any news about old ascetic cultivator Jiu Mie, who is not to be missed, you must not pass up on this exquisite earthly delight."

After the voice of the eldest boy fell, the voices of the others also began to chime in one after another.

"Absolutely, let's go into the city for a meal. We have been scared and avoided danger all the way, afraid of attracting that demon. We have suffered a lot of grievances, so it is time to take a break now."

"Go to the city and eat fish! Go to the city and eat fish!"

The delectable flavor of the Red Snapper caused a clamor amongst all those present.

And then, the little boy with the character "Five" carved on the back of his hand cleared his throat, silenced the voices of the crowd, and walked straight into the gates of the South Sea City.

After arriving in the city, he didn't waste any time, and went straight to the post station in the central area of South Sea City. Even if the post station was right in front of the entrance to Fire God Temple, he didn't care.

With their abilities as siblings, even though their souls were damaged now, without the suppression of the Moluo Sword, the actual strength that they can display outside is even stronger.

The priest of a mere Fire God Temple, they don't consider him important.

Even if Emperor Lianshan Kui came, they would not be afraid of him.

After all, even if they can't win, they can still run.

The boy relaxed his mood and walked directly into the gate of the post station's restaurant.

The post station occupied an extremely large area, which could even be called a small town within. It had pavilions, towers, guest rooms, buildings, restaurants, and pubs, all fully equipped to welcome merchants and travelers from the North and South.

The adorable young boy walked through the entrance of the restaurant and in a childish yet endearing tone, spoke to the steward here.
