Chu Wuji spread his hands: "It's hard for me to answer..."
The proud Dragon Princess raised her eyebrows. She was beautiful and looked at Chu Wuji puzzledly, wondering:
"Why is it so difficult to answer?"
"If I say it's not pretty, Xuanyin Xingjun will think those embroiderers didn't put their heart into it, and that would bring trouble upon them. But if I say it's pretty, I'm afraid Xuanyin Xingjun will dislike this dress because of my praise, and then the embroiderers' hard work in designing it will be wasted."
Xuanyin Star Lord had a strange look on his face. She had just asked a question. How could this human child figure out so many angles? She herself hadn't figured out so many interests and concerns.
After a subtle silence for a moment, she said:
"As long as I like this dress, it's fine. No one else can interfere with my preferences. It's even more impossible for me to dislike this dress just because of a word from you. That would be too much of a favor to you."
...Who made the embroidery patterns look like children's stickers a few days ago, and had to rush to find an embroiderer for extra lessons?
Chu Wuji didn't complain about this for the moment, he asked in confusion:
"Then why did Xuanyin Xingjun ask me to comment on this dress?"
"Look at how regretful your vision is. After all, you can't even tell the difference between the water tribe and the dragon tribe."
"..."
*
Although the conversation was not very friendly, we finally reached an agreement on the idea.
Chu Wuji understood the attitude of the Dragon Palace Princess clearly and stopped worrying about everything. He just remained cautious and went out with her.
The positions of the White Snake Mother and the Green Snake Aunt remained unchanged. When they were ready to leave, they hung directly on Chu Wuzhi's arms, and had already imbued the place with their aura, marking it as their territory.
The Sky Fox Queen was in a bit of an awkward situation. Yun Qingying wasn't going with her this time, so she had one less "mount", and she couldn't take Princess Yao'er with her on the road.
We must keep the little girl away from bad things as much as possible.
Chu Wuji was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles, wondering whether he should go up the mountain to pick up Yun Qingying, but the person involved, the Fox Goddess, was calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The charming and unparalleled fox girl sat directly on Chu Wuji's neck, returning to this position after a long time. Her soft and plump white legs clamped his face and teased:
"The Spring Flood is only a short period of time. It's not like I can't see the light of day. The last time I went to the Western Regions, I wasn't attached to anyone else. I was just out for a while. Why worry so much?"
"For a short period of time, it may cause the slightest loss to the Sky Fox Queen, which cannot be compensated by spending money!"
"Didn't the young master say before that the young lady Guanyin would meet you? Wouldn't it be nice if I could just hide on her body?"
"this......"
Chu Wuji felt that this was indeed a solution. He would discuss it with Fu Guanyin when the time comes. She should be happy to help.
At this time, the Sky Fox Lady said again: "If it really doesn't work, let me try to hide in the little green snake's body. It's a good opportunity to see what it feels like to have the snake's tongue wrap around you~"
Auntie Green Snake was shocked and said bluntly: "You're dreaming, why don't you just use a knife to split your tongue and try it yourself!"
The Fox Goddess stretched out her pink and smooth tongue, tried to gesture, and said with a regretful smile:
"I can't try. Even if I use a knife to split a fork, it's still not as slender and flexible as the snake monster~"
Chu Wuji listened to their conversation and felt that there was not much tension, so he did not stop them for the time being. He took out the feng shui map and showed Xuanyin Xingjun the route of this trip.
"This is roughly how we're going to go. Xuanyin Xingjun, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to determine the location where our brothers and sisters fell. Is there any place on the way?"
The dragon girl was a little embarrassed. Even though the route of this map was placed in front of her, she didn't recognize the place.
It will not come out of the water to land for hundreds of years.
She could only pretend to be profound so as not to appear ignorant, and said with a serious face:
"You might lie about your location, but your aura won't. Let's go first. If I catch your aura along the way, I'll tell you."
Chapter 282 Cat-Faced Ghost
This time when they went out, Yao'er still wanted to keep up, but she was relatively calmer and no longer sniffed like before.
But this little girl still had some cleverness. She looked at Chu Wuji eagerly and asked tentatively:
"Brother, the one who calls you 'brother' is not here, and no one is letting the Sky Fox Queen rest. Let Yao'er follow. I will definitely not act capriciously!"
Chu Wuji had to admire the girl's sharpness. She could even find this angle. He stroked the girl's chin and soothed her:
"No, if we go to a familiar place, I can still protect you and prevent any accidents. But if we go to an unfamiliar place, there's no telling what kind of monsters and demons we might run into. They're going to be no less terrifying than the ghost market in the mountains!"
In just a few words, the little princess with a cat-like temperament accepted it, and no longer pouted and was reluctant to leave as she did in the past.
This made Chu Wuji a little uncomfortable, so he asked:
"What is Yao'er thinking about?"
The charming little princess clenched her fists, a look of high morale on her face, and said:
"Yao'er also wants to practice martial arts and go out with her brother in the future!"
Chu Wuji expressed his doubts about this, thinking that this girl would be easily frightened by the hideous ghosts, but he did not pour cold water on her, but just smiled in surprise and said:
"Such a big ambition? Then Yao'er, do you need to train your courage and punch monsters with two punches in the future?"
"That's right, Yao'er needs to practice the ability to save her life. When she encounters danger, she should immediately turn into a kitten or a fox, snuggle into her brother's arms, and not cause any trouble for him!"
"..."
In a sense, this is also a reliable direction of effort.
Chu Wuji did not discourage her ambition, but encouraged her with a few words, and then said goodbye to the women in the palace.
Yao'er's childish words seemed to remind the princess and others that they had little chance of practicing fighting skills because they started late and did not have the courage. However, practicing the ability to save their lives was also a way to avoid falling behind.
Chu Wuji's body was strong and sturdy. His two snake elders occupied his arms, so there was still a lot of space left for them to occupy.
*
"Young man, with all due respect, you call this flying sword?"
After flying away from the capital for a while, the Princess of Dragon Palace couldn't help but ask questions.
Chu Wuji can now rely on his physical body to fly in the air, but this is limited to short-term battles. For long-distance travel, he would have to run wildly in the air, which is very stupid...
The flying sword Mozhi is still the means of transportation that he cannot get rid of.
However, when ordinary sword cultivators fly their swords, they integrate the spirit of man and sword, and use the flying sword as an external organ to help them fly. Chu Wuji is far from this level.
The will of the flying sword was nurtured by Ning Xianzhi.
When the speed increased, Chu Wuji would sway as if he was twisting his hips left and right.
Xuanyin Xingjun followed Chengfeng flying behind, watching Chu Wuji shaking in front the whole time, he really couldn't bear to watch it anymore...
Chu Wu Ji knew he was embarrassed, but what else could he do?
"It's okay. At least the speed is guaranteed. Traveling long distances in a carriage is bound to be bumpy, so it's normal for a flying sword to be bumpy as well."
The Fox Goddess rode on his neck for the first time in a long time. She was very satisfied with the scenery along the way. She said:
“It’s not bumpy, it’s very stable~”
Xuanyin Xingjun had nothing to complain about. On this point, she admired Chu Wuji quite a bit.
Because when the young man was shaking, he was always able to lock the spine of his upper body firmly and not move it, so as not to affect the Sky Fox on his back. However, this would require him to twist his waist and hips with a greater amplitude to maintain his balance.
"Stop ahead, there is a faint presence here." The dragon girl suddenly called for a stop.
Chu Wuji braked and landed with her on the ground to look for traces of the dragon son and daughter's fall.
This area is relatively fertile and is the fertile farmland of Ozawa State. The vast land in front and behind serves as the country's granary.
It is spring now, but it is not yet time for plowing. Occasionally, you can see farmers walking through the fields to check the condition of the land.
"Why don't we go down and ask to see if there have been any legends of dragons appearing in the past few decades? The county annals will record these very clearly." Chu Wuzhi suggested.
The slender Princess Jiaolong gazed down, her long, straight, snow-white legs standing naturally with graceful curves. She shook her head and said:
"No need, it's confirmed. Just follow your own route."
Chu Wuji was confused. He looked down and scanned carefully but couldn't see any clues. He was confused.
"A cursory glance is enough? Isn't that a bit hasty?"
The Fox Goddess' tender feet rested on Chu Wuji's palm, using his hand as a footrest, and then explained:
"There are no large rivers nearby. The swamps are all moistened by groundwater. It's difficult for ordinary water creatures to murder dragon sons and daughters on the ground. They can only die at the hands of their own people."
Xuanyin Xingjun added:
"Besides, the answer has always been in my heart, but I've always felt...that I shouldn't do this. Just a quick look now is enough, no need to look too closely."
...That's right, I already have the answer in my mind just by guessing, so why bother to go through so much trouble to find out so carefully.
A green snake poked its head out from Chu Wuji's left sleeve, baring its fangs and showing its ferocious look, and warned:
"Fox spirit, please pull your feet back! Do you know how I felt when I opened my eyes and saw a big foot at the entrance of the cave?"
"What's the point of feeling? My young master doesn't even hate my feet. Why do you have so many opinions, little green snake?"
Despite what the Fox Goddess said, she still moved to another place to put her feet, to prevent the green snake from biting her unexpectedly.
"Little green snake, I'm about to step on my young master's arm, please move!"
The tender feet of the Heavenly Fox Goddess first rubbed against the sleeve of Chu Wuzhi's arm, and slid along the winding snake body. Then, seeing that the green snake really crawled out angrily, the Heavenly Fox Goddess immediately smiled and turned into a fox body, and rushed to the Sericulture Kingdom with Chu Wuzhi.
Even though she didn't know the location, as long as she had a direction, the Fox Goddess wouldn't encounter any major problems on her journey.
She sprinted several times but still couldn't reach her destination. It seemed to be much farther than expected.
After about seven sprints, we finally arrived near the territory of the Sericulture Kingdom.
Looking down at the earth from high in the sky, you can see at a glance that the earth is densely covered with rivers, among which three prominent rivers are the main ones.
"Is this the Sericulture Kingdom? It's so isolated from the outside world~" Goddess Sky Fox sighed and slightly slowed down her sprinting speed.
Chu Wuji looked down at the earth from a perspective that ordinary people had no chance to see, and seemed to understand what Senior Jiujiu said about this place.
——It’s a very unique place, you’ll know when you go there.
The entire territory of the Sericulture Kingdom is backed by a vast highland rising from the ground on one side and surrounded by towering and rugged mountains on three sides.
Moreover, the mountains are not as continuous and long as the Lihuo Mountains, nor as undulating as the Shiwan Mountains.
The mountains here are more like a stone cage, towering into the clouds, isolating the inside and the outside, with only a large river flowing to the outside world.
As a former patron saint, Bai Sujin lamented this rare landscape:
"These conditions are too good to be true. Isolated from the outside world, free from the turmoil of war, it would be extremely difficult for neighboring countries to invade. The land inside is rich in spiritual energy, perfect for recuperation!"
Even if the demons practiced diligently here, their efficiency would be much higher.
Aunt Green Snake was full of doubts and muttered:
"Is it possible that some great immortal cultivator has secretly made special arrangements for this place, moving the mountain from outside to block it and give it the best space for development?
Rivers, flat fertile land, a stable environment...what else is missing here?"
This is indeed a problem. Apart from the lack of harassment from external enemies and the difficulty in external expansion, there is really nothing wrong here.
Chu Wuji looked at Xuanyin Xingjun and asked:
"Are there any aquatic creatures living in the rivers here?"
The Dragon Girl didn't need to think too much. She crossed her arms, her face as cold as ice, and looked down at the river below. She gave a direct affirmative answer:
"There can't be no aquatic creatures in the source rivers. Because this place is relatively remote and isolated, the last time I sent someone to deliver an invitation, the aquatic creatures here pretended not to receive it!
But there were rumors earlier that there seemed to be no aquatic creatures that had taken root stably in Yulun River..."
Chu Wuji felt relieved to know that there was such a disagreement.
In this case, there is no need for Chu Wuzhi to make a request. Once a conflict occurs with the local aquatic creatures, Sister Dragon Girl will probably have to be ruthless in secret and hit them a few more times.
"Let me see which Yulun River we are on. Let's find a nearby town to stay in first."
Chu Wuji took out the feng shui map. The accuracy of this map was not very good, only a rough outline, but the flow of the river was clear, and even the conditions of the nearby towns were very clear.
The Yulun River winds around in circles, and from a distance it really looks like a swimming dragon.
In the middle reaches of the river, there is a big city called "Shoujiang City", which is the most prosperous city within a radius of 100 miles, second only to the capital city of Beijing.
Chu Wuji pointed in the direction and said, "Goddess Tianhu, go in that direction. It's rare to be able to wander around the big city."
