They teleported to a place called Jianyun Capital City. This city was several times larger than An'an City. According to Ning Shuiqing, this city was where her ancestors resided.
It was only because of their decline that they had relocated to An'an City.
Following Ning Shuiqing's guidance, they left the vast Jianyun Capital City.
However, Zhou Yan stated that no matter how big it was, it couldn't compare to him. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Don't misunderstand; he was referring to the breadth of his own heart.
"Didn't you say there were Half-God realm powerhouses? Where are they?" Ning Shuiqing looked left, right, up, and down, but couldn't find anyone else.
"What's the rush? Watch me perform some magic!" Zhou Yan contacted Li Chungang and then said, "Heaven spirits, earth spirits, Supreme Lord, hasten as I command!"
Everyone: (˘•灬•˘)
Li Chungang, clad in green, with an ethereal presence, hands behind his back, suddenly appeared before Zhou Yan.
"Wow!" Ning Shuiqing exclaimed in surprise and said, "Can you teach me this move? It looks quite powerful."
"Hahaha!!!" Everyone burst into laughter. Li Chungang had simply used a teleportation scroll, and only a young girl would be so astonished.
"Speak, what do you need my help with this time?" Li Chungang looked at Zhou Yan.
"I don't know." Zhou Yan stepped forward to answer.
"You don't know?" Li Chungang was slightly angered upon hearing this. "Are you playing with me, you brat!"
"My orientation is perfectly normal, alright? I don't have that kind of interest." Zhou Yan replied.
Li Chungang: (•ิ_•ิ)?
"It's like this, this time we're retrieving a pseudo-artifact. That pseudo-artifact is also suppressing a fierce beast, with a strength estimated to be around the Half-God realm. I figured you were bored, so I brought you some fun," Zhou Yan explained his objective.
Li Chungang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and replied, "Then should I, this old man, be thanking you?"
"You're welcome. Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young are excellent virtues of mine, Zhou Yan. I believe you can see that with your discerning eye," Zhou Yan said with mock seriousness.
"Pfft!" Ning Shuiqing couldn't help but laugh.
However, seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly composed herself and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't usually laugh."
"Then why were you laughing so happily?" Dian Wei asked in confusion.
Ning Shuiqing: "Unless I can't help it."
According to the map's guidance, the place they were heading to was quite far and, they heard, not a good place, but rather dangerous.
"Lord, I've heard that the place we're going to is called Fierce Beast Valley. It's said to be extremely dangerous, and no one who enters has ever successfully come out."
"It's rumored that many powerful fierce beasts roam there, and it's also a cursed place that no one dares to approach for years. It's said that many experts above the Ninety-Nine Heavens have entered and become walking corpses."
"It's said to be an ominous place, with many evil corpses. Some even say it's the entrance to hell."
Zhang Wuji relayed the information he had gathered to Zhou Yan, feeling it was not a good place.
Zhou Yan nodded upon hearing this and said to Li Chungang, "See? Only I would take you to such a fun place. You'll have to take care of me a bit then."
"You brat, you're so afraid of death, yet you still covet that pseudo-artifact? Isn't it good enough to just stay peacefully in your territory?" Li Chungang said grumpily.
"I'm taking that pseudo-artifact all to show filial piety to you," Zhou Yan quickly replied.
Li Chungang was instantly amused upon hearing this and said, "Then you truly are filial to the point of being powerful!"
"Have you been watching those small movies lately?" Zhou Yan said, realizing this was definitely something learned from movies.
"I watched some when I was bored," Li Chungang replied, then felt there was more to Zhou Yan's words. "The movie screen is very large, so why is it called a 'small movie'?"
"Guess!" Zhou Yan smiled mysteriously.
A group of people entered the forest and encountered some demonic beasts. However, these demonic beasts not only contributed a pile of treasure chests but also sent themselves into the territory, becoming delicacies in the mouths of numerous sub-dragons.
Their spirit of sacrificing the self for the greater good was highly commendable.
For this reason, piles upon piles of demonic beasts, one after another, queued up to join the territory's inventory.
Fierce Beast Valley was far from them; it would take several days to reach their destination. Zhou Yan inquired, "Don't lead us astray."
"Do you want to die? I still want to live! I wouldn't joke with my own life. My parents taught me these things from childhood. If my home hadn't been destroyed, how could I possibly tell you this?" Ning Shuiqing replied.
"So, I should thank that guy Xiao Yan then," Zhou Yan said.
"Then go back, lift his coffin lid, revive him, and thank him again," Ning Shuiqing replied.
"Little girl, you're not old, but your tongue is quite sharp," Zhou Yan observed.
"I'm not little anymore; at twelve, I can already get married." To prove herself, Ning Shuiqing deliberately puffed out her chest.
"A 'Wangzai' steamed bun, who cares about that!" Zhou Yan shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Ning Shuiqing was confused.
"I mean you have a flat chest," Zhou Yan replied again.
"Still don't understand," Ning Shuiqing said with a look of confusion.
"I mean you don't even have an A-cup," Zhou Yan added.
"Can you speak clearly!" Ning Shuiqing's mind was completely muddled.
"Damn it, I'm saying you have no chest, what are you pretending to be an adult for!" Zhou Yan explained.
"Hahaha!!!!"
Dian Wei and the others burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Diao Chan and the others, after hearing this, blushed shyly and quickly pulled Zhou Yan aside, saying, "She's still a child. How could you say such things to a child?"
"She herself said she can get married at twelve, meaning she's an adult. Aren't I educating her?" Zhou Yan replied.
"Truly vulgar and shameless. You, you, you, you're so shameless." Ning Shuiqing was also extremely shy, but her three years of wandering had made her more mature than average.
"You, who haven't even finished primary school, hurry up and lead the way," Zhou Yan said.
Ning Shuiqing huffed in anger, genuinely unable to understand how such a person could have so many beautiful sisters following him.
There were quite a few demonic beasts here. The deeper they went, the stronger and more numerous the demonic beasts became.
Previously, they could still see many teams hunting demonic beasts, but further on, there were fewer people.
At night, they spent a night in the forest. However, during the night, they were attacked by swarms of demonic beasts all around them.
"There are so many demonic beasts!" Ning Shuiqing nervously looked around.
But Zhou Yan was not worried. He didn't react, didn't even move, and continued chatting with Diao Chan and the others.
"There are demonic beasts, why don't you seem worried at all?" Ning Shuiqing was speechless.
