Jiang Ran carefully looked at the route planned by Vanessa and took this opportunity to learn a lot of geographical knowledge about the Snow Deer Family's territory.
Just now, in order to convince Vanessa, Jiang Ran used his skill "Trickster", but in fact, he still had no idea how to make the Snow Deer Lord agree to send troops.
Just as Vanessa worried, the Snow Deer family had no reason to save Ice Star Shirley, who was no longer related to the family. However, the Snow Deer family was the only one most likely to help Jiang Ran.
So, no matter what, Jiang Ran would think of a solution before meeting the Snow Deer Lord.
In addition, Jiang Ran was not unaware of Vanessa's girlish thoughts just now, but he pretended to be ignorant, not wanting Vanessa to confirm their relationship with him so quickly.
To be more pragmatic, there are still 26 days left in the "confession death countdown". If Vanessa confesses to Jiang Ran today, Jiang Ran will be so disappointed that he will wake up crying in his dreams (fog).
From a conscience point of view, Jiang Ran still has a "universal rough stone" on hand, so he would rather not harm as many girls as possible... After all, with his identity and mission, he cannot respond to the feelings of any girl.
So, no matter from which perspective, today is not an auspicious day for Vanessa to confess her love.
·
Half an hour later, Jiang Ran and Vanessa planned the route and strategy, and immediately began to head towards the Snow Deer Family's main city, "White Valley City".
Jiang Ran rode a small motorcycle on land, while Vanessa rode a green-scaled flying lizard in the air. Only then did Jiang Ran have time to carefully identify the changes in the small motorcycle.
In order to avoid revealing too much information about Xiao Moto, Jiang Ran did not show much concern for Xiao Moto during their reunion just now, but in fact, he was greatly shocked by Xiao Moto.
It's been less than half a month since I last saw him, and the little motorcycle has actually evolved from level one to level four, and the evolutionary path seems to have undergone tremendous changes.
If Jiang Ran didn't have the ability to identify and read minds, he would really have suspected whether Xiao Moto was a time traveler!
However, getting back to the topic, Jiang Ran was very happy to see that the little motorcycle was safe and sound and had become so powerful.
After experiencing so many life and death disasters together, Xiao Moto's position in Jiang Ran's heart has long surpassed the ordinary concepts of "partner" and "partner".
It is no exaggeration to say that if the little motorcycle is in danger, Jiang Ran will save it without hesitation, even if it means risking his own life.

Two days later, Jiang Ran and Vanessa, who were moving at full speed, found Vanessa's three deer spirits in the mountains.
In their normal form, the deer spirits are small and cute, so they can "sit" on the back of the Green Lizard with Vanessa, then tie it up with cables to reinforce it, and then they can take off.
After advancing for another two days, Jiang Ran and Vanessa arrived at the border between the territories of the Snow Deer Family and the Green Lizard Family.
It was noon, and Jiang Ran and Vanessa chose to stop (land) on a hilltop to rest and have lunch.
Vanessa was filled with emotion when she saw the boundary marker carved on the big stone.
This was her first time returning to the Snow Deer Clan's land since she was exchanged from the Snow Deer Clan to the Green Lizard Clan.
"After passing this mountain and walking a little further east, you will see a village called 'Ters'. The oranges produced there are particularly delicious." Vanessa pointed ahead and explained to Lord Fike.
But just as Vanessa began to recall her childhood memories, an unusual black smoke rose in the direction she was pointing.
Even though it is the time when villagers are cooking, it is difficult to regard such black smoke as cooking smoke.
“Vanessa…!”
Lord Fike climbed onto the horse while holding the black bread, and Vanessa reacted immediately, leaping onto the back of the Green Scaled Flying Lizard, and rushed towards the direction of "Teers Village" with Lord Fike!
·
As the distance got closer, Vanessa could gradually see the situation in Tels Village clearly. The burning black smoke was not ignited by the villagers, but by monsters with fire attributes attacking the village!
Normally speaking, in the relatively peaceful Kingdom of West, monsters would not act recklessly in broad daylight, but the current situation was clearly rather special. A group of "fire jackals" that could spit flames from their mouths were relying on their numerical advantage and were openly plundering the chickens raised by the villagers...!
Upon seeing this, Vanessa immediately swooped down, ready to order the deer spirits to start fighting and drive out these "fire jackals" that were only at the first level.
However, just as she landed, a group of villagers rushed out and blocked her way.
"Don't! Don't do it! Please don't do it!"
The villagers opened their arms as if to protect the fire jackals and prevented Vanessa and the deer spirits from passing.
"Why don't you take action? Aren't those monsters eating your chickens?"
Vanessa was puzzled. These villagers were not proactive in protecting their property. Instead, they ran away faster than anything else when they saw someone coming to defeat the monsters.
Could it be that the entire Tels Village has now transformed into raising monsters for a living?
At this time, an old man who looked like the village chief stood up. He seemed to see that Vanessa's identity was extraordinary. He saluted Vanessa very politely, and then spoke in a trembling voice.
"Ahem...Miss, thank you for your kindness, but please don't interfere. Once they catch enough chickens...they will leave on their own...Ahem."
8.162 - Solved (Part )

October 187, 8
12:32 AM
[Confession death countdown remaining: 22 days]
━━━━━━━━━━
"Grandpa, do you know what you are saying?"
After hearing the old man's explanation, Vanessa was very disappointed.
Such a thing as "not daring to fight back against monsters for fear of their revenge" actually happened in the territory of the Snow Deer Clan. What on earth is the armed forces of the Snow Deer Clan doing?
"Ahem... I, of course we know. Don't think that it's just the 'Fire Jackals' attacking the village now. Behind them, there are three 'Flame Devouring Giant Wolves' leading them. Even the 'White Valley City Patrol Cavalry' are no match for them... Ahem!"
The old man coughed and explained the situation behind it, but to Vanessa, this was no explanation at all.
If you allow the enemy to plunder you just because they are strong, it will only make the enemy stronger and you weaker, and you will eventually be destroyed...!
It is true that the "Flame-Eating Giant Wolves" with the strength of the third level are indeed powerful. It is impossible for the "White Valley City Patrol Cavalry" to defeat them with the strength of the "White Valley City Patrol Cavalry". After all, the composition of the patrol cavalry is mainly composed of reconnaissance cavalry.
But why didn't the "Shiratani Castle Patrol Cavalry" bring the "Shiratani Castle Cavalry Regiment" that actually had the ability to subdue monsters from "Shiratani Castle" after their defeat?
Based on Vanessa's understanding of the Snow Deer Lord, she quickly came to the conclusion that "Tels Village" had been abandoned by the Snow Deer Lord.
Lord Snow Deer is a very shrewd man. He must have done some calculations and thought that the cost of saving "Tels Village" would be greater than the investment, so he let it fend for itself.
——(Father... after all these years, you are still as cold-blooded as ever.)
·
In order to maintain the prestige and reputation of the Snow Deer family, Vanessa would not tell the truth she had guessed, but she would not let Tels Village be slowly devoured by monsters.
This is a place where delicious citrus fruits are grown in abundance.
Now, for these uninformed villagers, if even the "Shiratani Castle troops" couldn't defeat the monster, then there really was nothing they could do.
And someone like Vanessa, who looks like just a weak girl, would find it difficult to gain the trust of the villagers even if she rides a majestic green-scaled flying lizard.
However, these are not problems for Vanessa. As long as she wants to take action, the villagers can't stop her. And, as long as she can let the villagers see the corpse of the "Flame-Eating Wolf", it will be enough to subvert the villagers' cognition.
Just when Vanessa was about to take the "hard approach", Lord Fige, who had been delayed for some reason, also arrived.
When the villagers saw this young man who seemed stronger than the girl, they immediately opened their arms to stop him, but this time, they only stopped the man and failed to stop the horse.
·
As soon as the boy saw the villagers holding hands to form a human wall, he immediately dismounted and cooperated.
But just when the villagers relaxed, the majestic black warhorse suddenly took advantage of the situation and leaped high into the air, jumping over the human wall in one breath, and then rushed into the group of fire jackals...!
I saw a few flashes of purple lightning, and the fire jackals that were showing their fangs and claws just now were immediately electrocuted and screamed, but there were only a few that could still scream, because most of the fire jackals had died in the electric shock.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
"Oh my God……"
"Look at what you've done..."
When the villagers saw this scene, they all collapsed to their knees.
But the pitch-black warhorse didn't care about their reactions and continued to march forward with its iron hooves, killing all the remaining fire jackals like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
·
As the fire jackals were all slaughtered, some villagers were the first to react. They surrounded the young man, looking ferocious and wanting an explanation.
However, they only had courage but no strength. After seeing the cold and calm expression on the boy's face and the gorgeous sword at his waist, the villagers took a few steps back and did not dare to act rashly. They just kept muttering things like "The Flame-Eating Wolf is coming soon" and "You will soon pay for your stupidity".
At this time, the girl who seemed to be of noble status also came over. She seemed to know the boy.
The girl was about to speak when the boy suddenly whistled, and then the black warhorse ran into the woods.
"Excuse me everyone, I don't have time to wait for those 'flame-eating giant wolves' to arrive. Why don't we go find them ourselves?"
As he spoke, the young man ignored the crowd surrounding him and walked towards the direction where the warhorse left.
The villagers didn't dare to stop him and could only follow the boy carefully.
After they walked for more than ten minutes, the villagers, who were feeling very nervous, were caught off guard and shocked by the scene that came into their sight.
In an open space in a corner of the woods, the corpses of three "Flame-Eating Giant Wolves" were lying there.
·
The three giant flame-eating wolves that frightened the villagers of Tels Village died "silently".
The villagers stared at the three bodies in amazement and could not calm down for a long time.
Among the three corpses, two had their heads chopped off cleanly, and one was charred and smoking from being electrocuted. The villagers recalled the way the black warhorse had just discharged electricity, and looked at the long sword at the young man's waist, and immediately stood in awe of them!
"Could it be that you... you killed these three giant flame-eating wolves?"
The villagers changed their rude attitude and asked the boy respectfully.
The young man nodded nonchalantly, then waved his hand and said, "Indeed, we killed him, but you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Miss Vanessa from the Snow Deer family."
As the boy spoke, he pointed at the girl who was following him. The villagers were startled again and looked at the elegant girl.
In fact, from the previous encounter, the villagers had more or less realized that the girl riding the flying giant lizard was either rich or noble, but they did not expect that she would be a member of the snow muntjac family!
However, this is not the villagers' fault, because Vanessa only has the green eyes, the iconic white hair and green eyes of the Snow Muntjac family. In addition, she has not been active in the Snow Muntjac family territory for many years, so it is reasonable that she was not recognized.
·
At this moment, facing the villagers' surprised and admiring eyes, Vanessa had only one thought in her mind, that is, she really still had so much to learn from Lord Fig.
She originally thought that Lord Feike was late because he was riding down the mountain, but she didn't expect that Lord Feike had actually directly eradicated the source of the evil that was harming the village.
Moreover, in response to the villagers' ignorance, Lord Fike also used the best solution: that is to directly "throw" the result in the villagers' faces, letting them know that all their worries were unnecessary.
And in the end, Lord Fike carefully guided the villagers' emotions in the direction they could most accept: Miss Vanessa of the Snow Deer family. In this way, the whole thing could end in the most smooth and satisfactory way without causing any other problems.
Vanessa now truly believed that if it was Lord Fike, it would be possible to persuade her stubborn father, Lord Snow Deer.
——(If things go wrong... Father might even keep Fike-sama as his son-in-law??)

8.163 - Reunion
Thanks to a savior that came out of nowhere, the villagers of Tels Village were saved from the crisis of being ruled by monsters.
The grateful villagers warmly invited Vanessa and Fige to stay overnight. They wanted to hold a banquet to entertain their benefactors, but Vanessa declined the villagers' kindness at the suggestion of Lord Fige. After digging out the magic cores of three flame-eating giant wolves, she continued her journey with Lord Fige.
Vanessa's only regret this time was that after returning after so many years, she was unable to taste the flavors of her childhood memories.
The delicious tangerines in Tels Village are harvested in autumn, which is still one or two months away.
However, as long as Lord Fike is around, Vanessa's shortcomings are not worth mentioning.
For her, this journey in which she could be alone with Lord Fige was an irreplaceable and priceless treasure.
However, the girl had feelings but the boy had no intention. Vanessa didn't know that her Lord Fike not only knew her feelings, but was also plotting against her.
·
In Jiang Ran's opinion, Vanessa's current emotional state is very dangerous. He must always pay attention to it, lest Vanessa confess to him on a whim.
Taking the credit to Vanessa, like he did just now, is one of Jiang Ran's methods to distract Vanessa.
Among the several girls Jiang Ran met in the Prison Star World, Vanessa was the most career-oriented one. Jiang Ran believed that as long as he could keep her focus on the matter of "Dragon Shadow Assistance", he should be able to temporarily control the blossoming of her love life.
If Vanessa's matter is "worry", then Xiao Moto's growth is "joy". Before, Jiang Ran only saw Xiao Moto's changes with his identification ability, but this time, he saw Xiao Moto's specific abilities with his own eyes.
