Outside Yao Mountain City, by the surging river …
Man Man was wearing a half-arm soft armor made from dragon skin, with a dimly glowing trident held in her hand. She was concentratedly standing on a rock by the river, with a pair of eyes shining with a faint fiery light. Through the rapidly flowing water, she fixed her eyes on a nest of white-bellied, black-backed, iron-scaled silver carp.
This nest of silver carp had dug a ten-meter deep sand nest in the soft sand by the river. The nest was surrounded by rocks, and the water flow in the nest was gentle, with thick aquatic plants growing on it. This nest was a top-grade hiding place.
Man Man gathered her power, abruptly gave a resonant growl, then lunged the trident fiercely forward.
The head of the trident swished out, flashed across the hundred-meter deep water like a bolt of lightning, and punctured the skull of a six-feet-long, white-bellied, black-backed, iron-scaled silver carp. Three spell symbols of death flashed across the surface of the trident, then the body of the carp quivered intensely, then it instantly stiffened.
Man Man shouted out in joy. A thin black chain was tightened on the trident head, then abruptly shrank backward. The barbed trident dragged the carp out of the water. Man Man gripped the carp's gills with one hand and held it in her arms while laughing happily.
"Big fish, big fish, delicious iron-scaled silver carp!"
Man Man had been grinning from ear to ear while holding the silver carp, which was almost as tall as her, and running backwards. Over there, a bonfire was blazing, and a large iron pot was floating above the bonfire. Yu Mu had been carefully throwing some odd-shaped grasses and tree barks into the pot.
The hot water was boiling, but not even a speck of oil could be seen in the pot. But because of those strange spices Yu Mu threw in, an extremely magical aroma had already spread out in the air. No one could tell what this aroma was, but it could make people salivate uncontrollably.
Shaosi took over the carp from Man Man's hands, put it on a clean banana leaf, then grinned to Yemo Shanye, who was squatting aside, and said, "Come, you saw how I did it a couple of days ago. Why don't you try it today?"
Yemo Shanye's face blushed in excitement. She nodded quickly and carefully stroked the cold and hard scales of the silver carp, then took over the small copper dagger with a gold-inlaid handle handed to her by Shaosi.
The one-foot and two-inch long copper dagger was embossed with tens of sharpening spell symbols and strengthening spell symbols, and was exquisitely polished to an incomparably sharp level. Yemo Shanye scraped off a large piece of fish scales with the sawtooth on the back of the dagger, then pressed her finger on the dagger, slowly and evenly cutting off a snow-white slice of fish.
"Nice saber technique!" Sitting beside the bonfire, Yu Mu praised and said, "Sister Yemo, you have to pay attention when you cut the fish. You have to cut according to the patterns left on the fish skin by the scales. This way, the cut will be smoother, and the meat will taste sweeter and more tender when cooked."
Giving some advice to Yemo Shanye, Yu Mu continued seriously, "Hm, I don't know what your Yu Clan people are like, but among our humankind, if a girl can't even cook, she can never marry!"
"Eh?"
Yemo Shanye exclaimed. Couldn't a human girl who couldn't cook be married?
This tradition was largely different from Yu Clan people. Among Yu Clan people, if any young lady cooked or brewed tea by herself, that would be impolite, and no one would ever marry her.
If her sister, Yemo Luoye, saw what Yemo Shanye was doing, she would definitely vomit blood and faint, wouldn't she?
However, the life of human beings seemed to be much more interesting than that of Yu Clan people.
He didn't need to dress up and act coy. He didn't need to put on heavy makeup. He could run to his heart's content, interact with flowers and trees, play with those cute animals, and do whatever he liked to his heart's content!
Even cutting fish slices was much more interesting than doing those so-called elegant arts in Dark Sun Castle.
White and tender fish slices fell into the pot one after another. Yemo Shanye's movements turned more and more skillful.
In a distance away, Feng Xing sat on a branch of a tree, looking at Yemo Shanye, who was laughing with Shaosi and Man Man. She was a non-humankind girl, but she wasn't annoying at all. What a strange being!
She wasn't annoying at all. On the contrary, people couldn't help but like her, love her!
Among those evil, bloody, hypocritical Yu Clan people, girls like Yemo Shanye were truly the only shining jewel in the boundless darkness.
"Eh!"
Feng Xing sighed slowly. He put the simple and heavy divine bow on his lap and gently flicked the bowstring with his fingers. Countless familiar faces flashed across Feng Xing's mind. Old ones, young ones, male ones, female ones!
A strong blood-red mist rose into the sky, while dense black smoke rose.
Amidst the smoke and blood, countless dead faces smiled at him. Their smiles made his heart ache, and even his soul stiffened.
Among them was a young and tender face, which looked seventy to eighty percent similar to Yemo Shanye's face. Both were so pure and kind, without any pollution. They were so pure that they could enchant and break people's hearts.
"Yi Shen! Hm … I will go back. "murmured Feng Xing in a low voice," I will definitely go back. The bloodline of Great Yi, the ancient God? You have truly shamed this bloodline. You don't deserve it at all … You! "
Feng Xing gently rubbed the divine bow held in his hands while his tone turned especially gentle and affectionate.
The divine bow buzzed slightly while releasing streams of divine light, slowly merging with Feng Xing's body. The sense of power released from Feng Xing's body changed extremely slowly, turning sharper and sharper, fainter and fainter.
In the jungle in a distance away, Gong Gong Wuyou stood under a tree, surrounded by a faint watery mist.
Blandly, he looked at Man Man, Shaosi and the others, who had been cooking and playing around the bonfire, and said in a low voice, "Although we're friends, I won't get involved in this mission of yours. I brought you here, and I have already done my duty as a friend. "
Slightly waving his hand, Gong Gong Wuyou elegantly spun a black jade flute between his fingers for a few times, then continued blandly, "What happens next, you'll have to rely on yourselves. You've already built a teleporting magic formation anyway. As long as you can grab those people, you can safely retreat. I'm leaving now, you can do whatever you want! "
While laughing, Gong Gong Wuyou flashed across the air and jumped into the great river flowing through the jungle with tens of Gong Gong Family warriors, disappearing within a blink of an eye.
Inside the jungle, nearly a thousand heavily armored Yu Clan nobles and Jia Clan warriors gathered together with serious looks. They began checking their armors and weapons, and put all defensive and offensive jade talismans and one-time use treasures in the most convenient places for them to reach.
"The span of ten breaths!" A Yu Clan elderly man growled coldly, "We only have the span of ten breaths. If we fail, we retreat through the teleporting magic formation immediately. Otherwise, we will all die in here."
"Now, go!" The Yu Clan elderly man growled, "Target, bring Miss Yemo Shanye back, and kill everyone around her!"
Flicking his finger, a purely black divine tower rose from the ground, instantly expanding to hundreds of meters tall, releasing a thick black light screen that covered the area with a radius of a hundred miles.
Over a thousand Yu Clan and Jia Clan warriors dashed out of the jungle like a gust of wind, leaving shreds of afterimages in the air.
