Five cubs clung to her; the wicked woman was being targeted.

On the rooftop terrace of Jiuxiao City, a long wind blows through the railings.

Cheng Qiongzhao stood before the desk, dressed in a dark silk robe, her hair falling by her ears and fluttering in the wind.

His posture was as upright as a cypress tree, his back was not slumped, his shoulders were relaxed, and his whole body was full of energy and spirit.

Her wrist, though slightly bony, held the brush with unwavering steadiness. Each stroke, whether a sudden turn or a concealed one, revealed power, leaving a mark on the plain paper with a powerful, decisive, and effortless flow.

When she lowered her eyes, her brow bones were slightly pressed down, and although her eyelashes were covered with a light frost, her gaze was fixed on the tip of the pen, bright and solid.

When Niu Kou Shui went upstairs, the first thing he saw was such a radiant female with her long hair casually tied up and a sharp profile.

"Mo Yang? You're back, kid. Is this your mistress?"

Cheng Qiongzhao stopped writing when she noticed the arrival of a stranger. She never expected it to be her nephew whom she hadn't seen for many years.

"Yes, Auntie, you look even younger."

"Auntie, let me introduce you. This is my female cow's saliva."

Mo Yang turned slightly to Niu Kou Shui and introduced the situation with a smile.

"Greetings, City Lord. I am Niu Kou Shui."

Niu Kou Shui said with a smile, unconsciously extending his palm like a gesture of etiquette seen on television.

However, Niu Kou Shui immediately realized that this was an orc community, and no orc would shake hands and greet each other upon first meeting.

Niu Kou Shui was about to pull his hand back when a warm hand grasped it in the next second.

"Hello, my name is Cheng Qiongzhao. You can call me Auntie from now on."

Cheng Qiongzhao's eyes were bright, as if she was somewhat excited.

Niu Kou Shui was somewhat surprised that the city lord actually knew how to shake hands, and even shook his hand twice like a modern person.

Her force was a bit heavy, and Niu Kou Shui was a little confused as to why Cheng Qiong Zhao was so agitated.

"Someone did this move many years ago. I didn't quite realize it when you did it."

Cheng Qiongzhao's tone was full of excitement, as if she had returned to the scene of their first handshake.

"I was young then. The first time I met Sister Chengxi, she reached out her hand just like you did."

"I didn't know what it meant at the time, I just instinctively reached out my hand..."

Cheng Qiongzhao recounted some past events to Niu Koushui, her eyes filled with memories.

"Niu Kou Shui (牛口水), is that your real name?"

Cheng Qiongzhao suddenly asked.

Niu Kou Shui was stunned for a moment. What was his original name?

Is her name Niu Kou Shui or Liu Kou Shui?

To be precise, she is both cow saliva and willow nectar.

After only a moment of distraction, Cheng Qiongzhao didn't wait for Niu Koushui's reply and continued speaking:

"Sister Chengxi said that her name before she came was Chengxi, which means the morning sun."

"The morning sunlight, the rising sun, brings hope to the beast world."

As Cheng Qiongzhao spoke, he looked up at the horizon. The sun was shining brightly, just as it had been years ago.

Niu Kou Shui then noticed the words on the Xuan paper on the desk: Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi, and Chen Xi.

Cheng Qiongzhao just wrote these three words.

These are all very complex words for people in the Beast World, but Cheng Qiongzhao wrote them very well; he must have written them thousands of times.

"You are the new messenger of the Beast God, aren't you?"

I guess so.

Niu Kou Shui nodded, then shook his head, realizing he didn't have that much ability.

She looked at the manuscripts on the display stand, covering everything from building houses to making paper, down to the smallest detail.

Chengxi must have been a woman of broad knowledge and outstanding talent.

Niu Kou Shui thought about his past self: his father sold beef, his mother ran a restaurant, and his education level was limited to finishing college.

Compared to Chengxi, Niu Kou Shui really felt that he had no talent at all.

"May I call you Xiao Shui?" Cheng Qiong Zhao asked with a smile, her tone gentle.

"sure."

"My older sister Chengxi used to call me Xiao Zhao..."

While tidying up the things on the table next to him, Cheng Qiongzhao talked to Niu Koushui about the past.

Mo Yang listened with curiosity, as his aunt had never told him anything about the former Beast God Messenger.

"Xiao Shui, come sit here."

"Okay, Auntie."

Mo Yang didn't need to be invited; he simply pulled up a small stool and sat down.

"Is this tea?" Niu Kou Shui found it very novel. His aunt actually drank tea. He had never seen anyone in the Beast World drink tea before.

Moreover, it smells like jasmine tea, and it seems even more fragrant than any she has smelled before.

"Yes, jasmine tea." Cheng Qiongzhao nodded with a smile and poured some into both of their cups.

"Auntie, this is a gift I brought for you. I hope you like it."

Niu Kou Shui didn't hide his spatial ability either, pulling out a large red book out of thin air.

She had searched for a long time in her online space before finally finding this Xinhua Dictionary; she didn't know when it had been placed there.

"What is this?" Cheng Qiongzhao's eyes lit up as she looked at the red object in front of her.

This vibrant red is like the feathers of a phoenix.

Xinhua Dictionary

Niu Kou Shui pointed to the four largest characters above and read them one by one.

Mo Yang also curiously came over to take a look.

"I know this character, Hua! Sister Chengxi taught me."

Cheng Qiongzhao pointed at the word with some excitement, her eyes filled with the joy that only a child could have.

"Is this a book? Sister Chengxi said they have all kinds of books where they live, some very thick and some very thin. And they come in all sorts of colors!"

"Yes, this is a book."

Niu Kou Shui handed the book completely to Cheng Qiong Zhao, watching her carefully turn the pages, clearly delighted with it.

"This is pinyin! I recognize some of it!"

"l～è～乐"

Cheng Qiongzhao slowly pieced together the words on a page she had randomly flipped to.

"Did I read it correctly?"

Her eyes shone as she watched the cow drool.

"Yes, that's amazing!" Niu Kou Shui exclaimed sincerely. Cheng Qiong Zhao actually knew pinyin, so this gift was definitely the right one.

"By the way, where do you live?" Cheng Qiongzhao turned to look at Mo Yang and asked.

"Auntie, the place we live in is called Peace Village. It's a little further ahead than the Dragon Clan."

"Auntie, Heping Village will open in a couple of days. I'll have Mo Yang pick you up to go there."

"OK!"

Cheng Qiongzhao knew without a doubt that Peace Village would be very lively, and with the guidance of the Beast God's messenger, it certainly wouldn't be ordinary.

"By the way, Aunt, may I take a look at the things left behind by Senior Chengxi? I ​​saw some in the exhibition hall before, but I felt like I hadn't seen enough."

"Of course, Sister Chengxi left behind a lot of things, but unfortunately we were too shallow to understand their meaning. Sister Chengxi also didn't have more time to teach us."

Cheng Qiongzhao spoke with regret in her eyes.

The two followed Cheng Qiongzhao to a closed wooden door.

Although the wooden door was old, it was spotless.

With a creak, the old wooden door was pushed open.

Inside, neatly arranged shelves were filled with bamboo strips, animal hides, stones, and the most primitive tree bark.

There are words written on them.

In the very center was a notebook completely different from the others, clearly made with modern technology.
