Murong Fu and his entourage proceeded along the previously planned route in their carriages.

Because Murong Fu knew that, just as Wu Yazi had predicted, Tong Lao would be visited by her enemies this time.

In their early years, Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui went into seclusion in Wuliang Mountain, Dali, to avoid Tong Lao and established Langhuan Paradise.

The two later went their separate ways, and Li Qiushui went to Western Xia to become a princess.

The Child Granny's Lingjiu Palace was located within the territory of Western Xia, and the two became neighbors.

When Tong Lao had nothing to do, she would sneak into the Western Xia palace to cause trouble for Li Qiushui.

Even though Li Qiushui founded the Xixia Yipintang and recruited many experts, these first- and second-rate experts were indeed unable to intervene in the struggle between Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui.

Its greatest function is perhaps to slightly slow down Tong Lao's speed for Li Qiushui.

But it was just a slight obstruction and a waste of time. Tong Lao could slap Li Qiushui as many times as she wanted, and even scratched Li Qiushui's face later.

Therefore, on the day that the Child Granny returned to childhood, Li Qiushui was bound to come seeking revenge.

Murong Fu remembered that when Tong Lao returned to her childhood, Wu Laoda mistakenly took her for a little girl and kidnapped her, thus escaping a calamity.

What puzzled Murong Fu was why, knowing that enemies would come knocking, she obediently stayed in Lingjiu Palace. After all, those old women and maids couldn't possibly stop Li Qiushui.

If he were the Child Granny, he would surely build a secret room elsewhere, prepare the necessary supplies, and only emerge from the mountain after his powers have been restored.

Murong Fu wasn't entirely clear on many of the details either; perhaps he had prepared for it.

The group traveled without much delay and soon reached the border of Henan, heading towards Shaanxi.

But in the afternoon, the little ice on Murong Fu's body suddenly came to life.

During this time, Murong Fu kept it with him. There was also a constant flow of Xuan Yin energy between Xiao Bing and Murong Fu, which improved the efficiency of Murong Mingyu Gong and accelerated the evolution of Xiao Bing's body.

In less than half a month, Xiao Bing had grown more than an inch.

The Frozen Pool Python is a spirit beast rewarded by the system. If it only eats fish and shrimp, it may only grow one inch in a year.

However, with the mutual support of Murong Fu, he grew up very quickly.

Moreover, Murong Fu discovered that as Xiao Bing grew up, the Xuanhan Qi within her body became increasingly stronger.

Although you may not feel the difference in a day or two, the difference becomes very obvious over time.

Murong Fu, also connected with Xiao Bing, sensed the anomaly immediately and murmured to himself:

"You mean there's something about the north that attracts you?"

After receiving Xiao Bing's confirmed reply once again, Murong Fu looked north.

"Is it not far away?"

After confirming the details, Murong Fu instructed the others to rest temporarily in a town not far ahead, while he went north to take care of some business.

Everyone knew that although Murong Fu usually seemed relaxed and easygoing, he was never careless when it came to important matters, so they let him go, saying that they had set up an inn ahead and were waiting for him.

Murong Fu activated his lightness skill and quickly followed the direction indicated by Xiao Bing, passing through the mountains and forests to the north, and continued on his way.

Ordinary people have to climb mountains and cross rivers when traveling, but for someone like Murong Fu who has unparalleled lightness skills, all terrains are like smooth roads in front of him. Before long, Murong Fu felt that he was about to find the location that Xiao Bing had given him.

Fearing he might miss his step, Murong Fu slowed down and walked in small steps.

Just then, he heard a loud commotion not far away, so he pricked up his ears and heard:

"What's wrong with you today? You kept heading south, and even secretly ran away, making me worry for most of the day. Have you forgotten all the manners and sense of shame I taught you? I brought you all the way from the top of Kunlun Mountain, and you're so ungrateful, not understanding the painstaking efforts I've put into you."

Normally well-behaved, but today...

Could it be that there's some great treasure in the south?

Murong Fu heard these words and felt they sounded familiar, so he headed north.

All that could be seen was a large monk sitting on a large blue stone slab. The monk was extremely obese, yet very short, resembling a large ball of flesh. He pointed to the ground and continued to berate himself.

Murong Fu suddenly realized that this was the unruly monk Huijing from Shaolin Temple, whose physique was unique among monks. Coupled with Xiao Bing's special senses, and recalling the monk's words about the top of Kunlun Mountain, it must be the strange beast "Millennial Ice Silkworm".

Sure enough, when Murong Fu looked closely, there was a yellow circle on the bluestone slab where the monk was sitting, and inside it was a silkworm.

This silkworm is pure white like jade, with a slight bluish tinge. It is more than twice the size of an ordinary silkworm, resembling an earthworm, and its body is transparent like crystal.

Upon seeing the ice silkworm, the little ice silkworm coiled around Murong Fu became unusually excited, flicking its icy blue forked tongue and hissing.

The silkworm raised its head, and although it couldn't get through the yellow circle, it excitedly exhaled wisps of cold air.

The monk Huijing was pondering whether to set off now to see what the secret treasure that could attract the ice silkworm was when he suddenly noticed that the ice silkworm seemed to be exhibiting a peculiar behavior.

Looking up, he saw Murong Fu not far away. Seeing that there were outsiders, he immediately used the empty gourd to put away the ice silkworm and said with a frown:

"Where did this scoundrel come from, disturbing the Buddha's peace and quiet? Get out of here at once!"

When he saw clearly the spirit python coiled around Murong Fu's neck, he picked up the gourd containing the ice silkworm, stepped forward, and said:

"Hey, why is that person wrapping the Buddha's spirit beast around your neck?"

Make it easier for Buddha to find.

"Seeing that you also have an affinity with Buddha, and having returned the spirit beast, Buddha may accept you as a disciple; this would be a great fortune."

Murong Fu could tell from Huijing's breathing and footsteps that he was only a third-rate expert.

Even a second-rate expert could immediately tell that Murong Fu was no ordinary fighter, so how could he dare to speak like that?

Murong Fu was not angry. He simply unleashed a powerful sword strike, and the bluestone slab where Huijing had just been sitting immediately shattered into two pieces.

The sound dissipated for a moment, but lingered in Huijing's ears for a long time.

With a thud, Huijing's plump body collapsed to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, like a ball that kept bouncing.

He kept calling out terms like "senior," "master," and "boss," all of which were words of pleading for mercy.

People tend to put themselves in others' shoes. He knew that if he were insulted and threatened like this by an ordinary person, he might not die, but he would inevitably lose an arm or a leg.

Losing an arm is manageable, but losing a leg is a huge inconvenience for him.

An ordinary person can use crutches, but he weighs over 300 pounds, and ordinary wood cannot support him. He would probably need to make crutches out of steel, which would make it very inconvenient for him to climb over walls or escape in the future.

For the sake of his future, Huijing's knees buckled.

Murong Fu didn't care about Huijing. He flicked his thumb and ring finger together, sending out a sword-flicking motion that cut the gourd rope binding Huijing's body. Then, he activated the Dragon-Capturing Skill and sucked the gourd into his palm.
