Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

Chapter 102 The Feast

"This boundary marker stone can grow legs and run away, can it?"

A huge blue tiger walked around the boundary stone.

Its nostrils twitched as it sniffed carefully.

There was no smell of living people or creatures.

"That's strange—"

The mountain king transformed into human form and leaned against the stone tablet.

I waited and waited until the sun rose.

Ascend to the heavens.

A snowflake suddenly fell.

Lingyi stuck out her tongue, rolled the snowflake into her mouth, and savored it carefully.

"Stop hiding, your very existence has caused strange phenomena in the heavens and earth."

"I mean you no harm, you should be able to sense that."

"You—you stepped on my hand!"

"Huh?" Lingyi lowered her head.

His own military boots landed squarely on a fair hand.

It's quite amazing that she didn't notice.

Lingyi stepped aside.

The enormous stone tablet, measuring four zhang wide and six zhang high, was lifted up by a slender young girl.

Snow-white hair and a snow-white skirt.

A layer of silver gauze covered its surface, like a starry sky.

"Are you the one from the snowy mountains in the north?" Lingyi asked.

"Right? I guess so? I'm probably the only one there, right?"

The girl threw the stone tablet aside.

She wanted to give the woman who was standing on her hand and wouldn't budge.

No matter what, shouldn't you bare your teeth and express your anger?

But as soon as I looked up...

The black military aura wrapped around Ling Yi, and the King character burning with flames.

The girl was so frightened that she took several steps back, leaning against the boundary stone, her heart pounding.

That's terrifying! What kind of monsters are outside the snow-capped mountains?

Is Yongningzhou not just home to the dragon, but also to a tiger?

That's awful! Are they trying to kill her?

"Candle asked me to thank you for continuously supplying moisture to Yongning Island during the drought."

Why are you hiding so far away?

Lingyi frowned.

Seeing the displeasure on her face, the girl immediately stepped forward.

As he got closer, he felt the ferocity of the icy aura and the intense heat of the flames, and his knees buckled, almost causing him to kneel down.

"They're all mine—they're all children, I can save as many as I can." The girl changed her mind before she could finish speaking.

Although she was born not long ago, the memories passed down from the snow-capped mountains are quite clear.

Creatures like dragons and tigers are most averse to having their territory invaded by others.

If she were to say it directly, she would say that she considers the humans of Chunhua City as her own children.

She would probably be skewered and grilled right there on the spot.

"You weren't born that long ago, were you?"

Lingyi understood, but didn't care that she hadn't explicitly stated what she meant.

Is a newborn animal, barely 10 years old, really going to become someone else's mother?

"Do you have a name?" Lingyi asked.

"Uh...maybe?" The girl glanced at the fierce tiger's expression and replied cautiously.

"The children call me Eji, Zhuoma, and some call me Yela."

"So many names? Then I'll call you Yela."

"Yela, come back to Zhongshan with me."

"But I don't want to go there—" Yera said, puffing out her cheeks and looking aggrieved.

That dragon was too terrifying for her to say aloud.

"You really don't want to?" Shan Jun leaned closer, lowered his head, and stared directly into the girl's azure eyes with his apricot-yellow pupils.

"I want to, I want to, I want to go."

The girl nodded repeatedly, her face contorted with grief.

Within Yongningzhou, Yela is merely an embodiment of a spirit.

Lingyi transformed into a tiger and carried her on his back, traveling a thousand miles a day.

"Speaking of which, why did you move the boundary marker to the snow mountain?" Qinghu asked.

"There's a war going on in the north; that wolf is fighting a dragon."

"I was thinking, could my family be included in Yongningzhouli as well—that way I'd be safe—"

The girl sat on the back of the blue tiger.

He wrapped both arms around his knees.

"Are the wolf and the dragon fighting?" the mountain king wondered.

"It's that wolf from the north; it was born many years before me."

"It's brutal; my children all escaped from it."

At this point, the girl's voice became somewhat muffled.

She was very unhappy.

Why is there so much killing on this land?

Can't every problem be solved if everyone sits together peacefully, has a meal, and chats?

"It sounds like a big deal. I wonder if it's related to the Yellow Dragon in Central Continent."

Suddenly a cold wind blew by.

Even Lian Shanjun felt a chill.

She quickened her pace and hurried towards Zhongshan.

The surrounding scenery was stretched into a blurry long line.

Before entering Zhongshan.

The girl's body stiffened.

"Don't be afraid, you are not the enemy, and the candle is very forgiving."

Shan Jun comforted her and led her deeper into Zhongshan.

We went deeper into the valley.

The enormous corpse of a dragon lay across the earth.

Dragon horns, dragon pearls, dragon scales.

Only the dragon's body is somewhat bulky and short compared to the red dragon.

"Waaaaah—" The girl cried out in fright.

She wanted to escape, but her legs were too weak to stand up.

He could only sit slumped on Qinghu's back like a duck.

Blindfold yourself and act like an ostrich.

"Candle, who is this corpse?" Mountain Lord asked, looking at the demonic beasts that had gathered around the corpse.

"It would be a shame to waste it, so I fished it out from the river of time."

In the sky, a huge red dragon head drooped down.

Two pairs of eyes, one gold and one silver, were fixed intently on the girl on the back of the blue tiger.

"Thank you for what you did for Yongning Continent during the drought. You'll have a share in the upcoming Dragon Feast."

The roar of the dragon pushed through the air, rolling forward like a torrent.

"I don't want to eat, I want to go home—the outside world is so scary!"

'

The Golden Ape King, along with the Black Bear and other fierce spirits of Zhongshan, looked at the Red Dragon, and then at the humans sitting on the back of the Green Tiger.

They simply couldn't associate this human with their ferocious nature.

However, as Zhu Du has already mentioned, this person was the one who supplied water to Yongningzhou during the drought.

Just pretend you didn't see it, it's too embarrassing.

"Stop crying." Red Dragon said impatiently.

"Waaah—!" Yera's crying stopped abruptly.

She used both hands, wishing she had an extra one, to tightly cover her mouth and nose, preventing a single sound from escaping.

"I already know that you want to submit to Yongning Prefecture."

"I have no intention of conquering the world. You are to decide the fate of your followers. After you finish eating this dragon meat, you can go to the human city in Yongning Continent and find a city lord named Zhao Ying to form an alliance."

"You are still the god of that snow mountain. If you encounter an enemy that you cannot defeat, then flee to Yongning Continent."

"Do you understand?"

"Mmm!" Yela covered her mouth and nose, but her eyes were sparkling as she nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's begin the banquet."

With a swipe of its claws, the lipped dragon's body was automatically shattered into countless pieces, which then flew up and hovered in front of the many ferocious creatures.

A large object, even larger than the Golden Ape King and the others, floated in front of the girl.

"Will it taste good?" Yela wondered, and tentatively took a bite.
