Under the night sky, in the heavy snow...
The girl in a black dress had long black hair that hung down to her ankles like a waterfall. The hem of her long dress was already dirty by the mud and snow, but her long hair was perfectly tidy. Clearly, her hair had been touched by bushes and withered grasses countless times, but not a single stain could be seen on her hair.
The wind from the river was piercingly cold, rolling up large snowflakes and slapping on the girl's body. She tremblingly glanced at Yu Mu, who was standing beside the bonfire, and couldn't help but look at the pot of fish soup on the bonfire with her pair of beautiful eyes that were as deep as the starry sky.
Followed by a series of clattering sounds of horse hooves, a snow-white unicorn walked out of the darkness bit by bit, with one limping leg, and came to the area covered by the light of the bonfire. Sensing the aroma of the fish soup in the air, this unicorn sniffed and gave a deep snort.
Yu Mu slowly stood up. Faintly discernible wisps of mist hovered around his body. Occasionally, strands of mist would condense into twisted shapes of poisonous bugs around his body. As the wind blew across, these bugs would silently dissipate, turning into countless tiny spell symbols that melted in the air.
Countless colorful spots quickly emerged from his skin, dyeing his snow-white skin mottled like the beautiful patterns on the bodies of poisonous bugs and snakes, making people dizzy for no reason.
"You're a beautiful little girl, but a girl like you shouldn't show up in this place!" Yu Mu raised his chubby hands. His fleshy palms squirmed for a while, and soon, his palms turned as transparent as crystals. His skin, muscles, and bones all turned weirdly dark-green.
This was a secret poison magic of the Magi Palace, called 'Five Poisons Supreme Magus Hands', which was extremely lethal. Yu Mu had been following Ji Hao all these years and made countless contributions. He had accumulated quite a lot of credit points, and finally gained this terrifyingly powerful magic.
With Yu Mu's talent and the cultivation resources in Yao Mountain territory, he had only learned the basic level of this Supreme Magus Hand of five poisons. But, he already possessed an extremely strong poison power. Strands of dark-green mist spurted out of his fingertips, flickering like fire. Weird ripples were stirred up in the air around him, as if the entire space was set ablaze by this poisonous fire.
The girl stopped in her tracks. A black crystal pendant hanging on her forehead suddenly released a thin black curtain of light that enveloped her entire body. Along with a sizzling noise, multicolored flames suddenly spurted out from the surface of the light screen. Those were the magic poisons released by Yu Mu, speedily attacking the light screen.
"I-I mean no harm." The girl waved her hand in panic and took a step back subconsciously.
The white unicorn gave a deep roar, took a big step forward and blocked the girl's way. A dim stream of light flashed across the horn of the white unicorn, then a foot-long, cold beam of golden light flashed across, locking Feng Xing, who was over ten miles away.
Feng Xing pulled the longbow open, letting the golden arrow shine even brighter. He gnashed his teeth, staring at the girl's beautiful and exquisite face. Although the girl's long dress was dirty and messy, it was extremely luxurious. All kinds of decorations were extremely complicated and gorgeous, and the jade belt around her waist was even more exquisitely carved. There were more than ten rose-shaped ornaments on it, and its style clearly belonged to a different race.
This was a Yu Clan girl.
In this world, which was filled with gigantic beasts and poisonous bugs, and the sky was filled with fierce birds and dangers, only Yu Clan girls could be so soft and delicate. She was just like a small white flower in the wind, and a slight breath of air could break her.
A Yu Clan girl, a delicate Yu Clan girl, abruptly showed up in Pu Ban City, less than ten miles away from the Town Hall of the human emperor …
Even if those human clans in the north of Pu Ban City and the armies under the direct command of the human emperor were all Jurassic beasts, this girl came to this place alone, which was way too weird.
In the darkness, Feng Xing and Yu Mu held their breaths, preparing to launch a full-powered attack on the girl. If they couldn't defeat her, they would run away at their highest speed, then call for help.
The girl sensed the strong intent of killing from Yu Mu, and also sensed the sharp intent of killing from Feng Xing. She hurriedly shook her head and stuttered, "I … I don't mean any harm … I don't know where to go … I don't know how I got here … What is this place?"
Yu Mu and Feng Xing had been struggling to survive in the wild, which was filled with wild beasts ever since they were little kids. Therefore, they both had beast-like instincts. Just like how they trusted Ji Hao the moment they met, they instinctively sensed that the girl wasn't lying.
She didn't have any intent of killing, neither did she have any evil intention.
Although she showed up in a weird way and seemed to be in a mess, her mind was as pure as a white crystal, without any impurities.
"I saw a ghost in the middle of the night! A rabbit showed up in a nest of wolves! "Yu Mu looked at the girl and said loudly," But, girl, do you know where this place is? You came here, eh, eh, you're so daring! "
The girl looked at Yu Mu confusedly and said, "Where is this place? I, I'm a bit lost. "
The faces of Yu Mu and Feng Xing twitched intensely simultaneously. 'Lost? Alright, you lost your way and came to Pu Ban City, and walked into Pu Ban City safely all the way. Is it because you are too lucky, or are those human clans and armies on your way too unlucky? 'Ji Hao thought to himself.
If this news spread out, Emperor Shun and the other human leaders would definitely punish all human clans on your way!
"This is Pu Ban City." Yu Mu showed the whites of his eyes and carefully took back the poison released from his body. Instantly, the multicolored flame on the surface of the girl's black light screen dissipated. Yu Mu looked at the trembling girl and said in a deep voice, "Pu Ban City, do you know where this place is?"
The girl popped her eyes out immediately. She stared at Yu Mu as if he was a ghost, then screamed out, "Pu Ban City? The nest of those evil barbarians? "
"Evil barbarians?" The faces of Yu Mu and Feng Xing twitched again.
"No, I didn't mean to insult you. But, normally, people around me all say this." The girl looked at Yu Mu timidly and said, "They all say that you human beings are a bunch of dirty, lowly, shameless …"
Yu Mu fiercely stared at the girl, trying his best to make a twisted and ferocious face.
The girl was so frightened that she shut her mouth and dared not to say another word.
Remaining silent for a while, the girl glanced at that pot of fish soup. She seemed to be a bit embarrassed, a bit shy, and didn't know what to do. "That, that soup smells so good. Can you sell me some? I have a string of ten-thousand years old black musk beads. Wearing it can detoxify all kinds of poisons. "
Her right hand fumbled in her wide left sleeve for a while before she took out a string of twelve thumb-sized black beads strung together. She handed the string of beads to Yu Mu and asked carefully, "I just want a bowl of soup … I don't eat much!"
No one noticed when, but Feng Xing had already put his bow back and walked back silently.
He looked at the girl, then looked at that string of beads and said in a deep voice, "I don't want your beads. You're full. Go back to where you came from."
Pausing for a second, Feng Xing continued with a complicated tone, "This is Pu Ban City. To you, this place is too dangerous."
