Chapter 1018 The Shatuo Water Family
Shui Family Courtyard in Shatuo City

Shui Yufeng looked at the row of corpses on the ground, his eyes filled with grief. The atmosphere was very oppressive, and there were occasional cries.

Yunxi knelt on one knee and, mimicking Shui Yuntan's tone, said:

"We paid a heavy price for hunting sandworms this time, but fortunately, the sacrifice of our people was worthwhile. We brought back a whole sandworm, which should be able to exchange for more weapons from the royal family, so that there won't be such heavy casualties in the future."

No sooner had Yunxi finished speaking than someone raised a question:

"Yun Tan, they were clearly killed by weapons. Could it be that you had an internal conflict? Was it you?"

When Yunxi was questioned, her expression immediately turned cold. She stood up and looked at the other person, saying:
"Don't you know what the Green Desert is? When we successfully killed this sand worm, we were targeted by the insect beasts underground in the desert, and we have been losing members all the way."

In order to protect the sandworms, we dared not stay in one place for too long, but on the night before we returned, we were bewitched by something and began to kill each other.

I only regained consciousness after being injured, and I only managed to save three people. If the clan leader wants to punish me, I'm willing to accept it, but next time you'll need to fight for the clan's interests.

The questioners were put on the spot and had no choice but to lower their heads and wipe away their tears, clearly aware of the dangers of hunting sandworms.

Shui Yufeng said in a deep voice:

"Yun Tan, you've worked hard. Go and rest first. The clan will handle the rest."

Yun Xi nodded immediately and said:
"Chieftain, I will forgo this reward and distribute it all to the murdered members of our clan as a token of my gratitude."

"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to handle it."

Yunxi's actions pleased the clan leader.

When Yunxi returned to Shuiyuntan's residence, a man came out to greet her:
"Yun Tan, are you alright? I heard a lot of people died this time."

Yunxi strode back into the room, her face grim, and said:

“I’m fine, but only four of us, including me, came back alive this time. Some people in the clan are very dissatisfied with me, and Shui Denghong’s family even tried to shift the blame onto me.”

The man froze for a moment, then jumped to his feet, blurting out in alarm:

"Who are you? You're not Yun Tan. What did you do to Yun Tan?"

Yun Xi raised an eyebrow, surprised that she hadn't given herself away before, yet the man in front of her had seen through her. She grabbed his wrist, pressed him down onto the round stool, and then spoke:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am Yun Tan. Take a closer look."

The man shook his head and said:
“You are not him. Although you have a face exactly like his, Yun Tan loves me very much, but there is no love for me in your eyes.”

Yunxi clicked her tongue twice inwardly, realizing that she had been exposed in front of her beloved.

But she still wanted to salvage the situation, so she gently touched the other person's face and said earnestly:

“Look me in the eyes. You are the only one in my eyes. You can’t wrong me.”

The man looked into the depths of Yunxi's eyes, then shook his head, clearly certain that the person in front of him was not his lover.

Yunxi could only knock the person unconscious with a chop to the neck, then casually tossed him onto the bed. Only then did she pick up the mirror from the dressing table and begin practicing her loving gaze.

She was interrupted a moment later, and Meng Lanjun, wearing a veil, was invited into the courtyard where she was.

Meng Lanjun entered the Shui family as a guide, with the aim of controlling the three Shui family members who had swallowed the petals of the Mengxia Orchid.

Because so many people had died, the Shui family didn't have time to question Meng Lanjun's identity. They were only displeased that he had come to see Yun Tan alone, since Yun Tan was married. After Meng Lanjun sat down, he said:
"I can't stay in the Shui family for long under my current identity. You'd better arrange an identity for me to stay by your side."

Yunxi pointed to the unconscious man on the bed and said:
“He saw through my identity and knew I wasn’t Shui Yuntan, so I knocked him unconscious. You can impersonate him and stay by my side; you’re about the same size.”

Meng Lanjun stepped forward and fed the man a flower petal. A fragrance then entered his nostrils, and he woke up a moment later with a calm expression.

Menglan asked the man some questions and then suggested that the two of them escort him away from the Shui family and then exchange identities outside.

Yunxi shook her head and said:

"You're the guide, and the Shui family will probably question you further. It's not a good time for you to leave now."

"That gives me a good excuse to stay a couple more days so I can gather some information."

After a brief exchange, Meng Lanjun moved into the Shui family's guest room. Just as Yunxi had predicted, three days later someone came to inquire about what had happened.

Meng Lan answered the questions from the Shui family as agreed beforehand, and said she would leave after receiving her payment.

Yunxi is currently unable to read other people's memories, so she can only obtain the information she wants by asking questions. Fortunately, Shuiyuntan's lover is under control and answers Yunxi's questions, allowing her to quickly extract important information.

The city of Shatuo was originally an oasis in the desert. It gradually developed as people came to the area, and because of the presence of water, more and more people came, and the area of ​​the oasis continued to expand, eventually developing into the city it is today.

The strongest person, capable of annihilating the sandworms, became the king of the oasis, eventually rising to royalty, ruling the entire oasis, and establishing the Shatuo Kingdom.

"Then why is your blood light blue?"

The man replied calmly:
"Our blood is light blue, only the blood of the otherworldly beings is different from ours."

Yunxi then asked in detail about the history of the Shatuo Kingdom, but the man only repeated a few sentences and seemed unable to say anything more.

"I understand. You should go and rest now. Don't go out these next few days unless you have to. The atmosphere in the clan is not good, so you don't want to get caught up in it."

"it is good."

The man obediently agreed, and then left the space to Yunxi.

Five days later, Yunxi planned to use the excuse of sending Menglanjun away to wander around Shatuo City and have Menglanjun replace the man. However, before they even left the Shui family's gate, they were stopped by a group of guards.

"The Queen invites the warriors of the Shui family to the palace for a meeting."

Shui Yufeng immediately stepped forward and ordered his people to bring the sandworms they had hunted as a gift to the king.

Yunxi said nothing, deliberately ignoring the fact that Menglanjun was not a member of the Shui family, and led her and the servants to the palace.

Along the way, Yunxi saw that all the houses in the entire city of Shatuo were built with mud bricks. The people here wore veils or hats to shield themselves from the sun and block the wind and sand. Most of the people walking on the road were very strong, and both men and women exuded a fierce aura.

Yunxi and Menglanjun underwent numerous examinations before finally being invited into the palace's back garden.

This place is truly a garden where a hundred flowers bloom, and the air is filled with their fragrant scent, making people unconsciously stop in their tracks.

At this moment, a mature and beautiful woman dressed in a long blue gown entered the garden, surrounded by attendants. Upon seeing Yunxi and Menglanjun, she smiled and said:

"Otherworldly cultivators, you have finally reappeared."

　See you tomorrow, babies~
