Chapter 190 At an advanced age
The little guy looked at his father and then at his mother.
Are Father and Mother still angry?
But Father smiled, so he must have calmed down, right?
......
On the mountain.
The doctor from Laoshan was in a panic.
"My lord, you mustn't!"
He paced back and forth, offering kind words of advice.
“We were blessed by the great man, which is why we were able to gain intelligence and take human form. It is because of this that many of our clansmen have come down from the mountain, but how many of them have had a good ending?”
"The lord knew this, which is why he led us to live in seclusion here, cut off from the world. How come he's the one who's confused now?"
Shaoyi didn't speak, she just stood there quietly.
The old doctor continued to patiently persuade: "How can those foreign tribes be trusted? They are all eloquent and deceitful, skilled at cajoling and deceiving, but in reality, they are selfish, vicious, and wicked."
“She’s not that kind of person,” he defended her.
Upon hearing this, the old doctor looked incredulous.
He was simply saying that these were all facts, and that the adults had never refuted him like this before.
"Human hearts are unpredictable; why should a gentleman venture into dangerous places?"
"It's just for the cubs."
"Why go to such lengths for the sake of cubs?"
He's old, not stupid.
Don't think he can't see it!
Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, he simply made his point clear.
"What do you think will happen between you and her, sir? Not to mention that the little female already has a mate, even with her current cultivation level, she can't even break through her lifespan."
"It's only a matter of time," he said with certainty.
Although isolated from the world, he is not ignorant of worldly affairs. With five spiritual roots, he is rare in the world. It is only a matter of time before he gains such talent.
Seeing that he was still stubbornly unrepentant, the old doctor didn't care to say something harsh.
"You've cultivated for a thousand years, you're more than old enough to be that little female old man. At your age, wouldn't she find you unworthy?"
Upon hearing this, a crack appeared in Shao Yi's unchanging composure.
At this age?
Is he old?
Cultivation is difficult for mountain beasts; they must undergo nine tribulations of lightning under the laws of heaven and earth before they can reach the Great Perfection.
A thousand years is still early, and ten thousand years is common. How can you call that an old age?
"Why doesn't it count?"
The old doctor actually blurted it out; he was willing to offend the doctor to finish the story.
"That little female looks like that, she probably has quite a few mates around her, are the adults going to fight with them for her affections?" Aren't you ashamed!
Upon hearing this, Shao Yi made no attempt to explain.
He only came down the mountain for the sake of the cubs; he had no other intentions.
But he also knew that trying to cover it up would only make things worse.
Explaining it would only make him think he's making excuses, so it's better to let him be.
"I'll take my leave now." Having conveyed his message, he didn't want to say anything more.
"Look, look, you get angry over just one sentence, and you leave as soon as you get angry!"
The old doctor grumbled and cursed, expressing his disappointment and frustration.
……
Mu Yunyun really did make fish soup.
I also fried a plate of small silver fish.
What intrigued her was that the big bird had previously said it had long since stopped eating grains, and she wondered if it could still consume these things.
Seeing that he hadn't taken many bites, Mu Yunyun couldn't help but ask, "Is it not to your liking?"
Is it really impossible to eat?
Just giving her a way out?
Shaoyi came to her senses, but didn't put down her chopsticks.
"No." He was concise and to the point.
Mu Yunyun: "???"
She leaned closer, looking at him curiously: "Who upset you again?"
"No."
Still saying no!
Mu Yunyun put down his chopsticks, saw the cub playing with chicken droppings in the yard, scolded him, and then turned her gaze to his face.
"What, does the old doctor not agree to your coming down the mountain?"
“No.” Shao Yi picked up his chopsticks again. It wasn’t that he couldn’t eat these things; the taste was still acceptable. “He just said that with my thousand years of cultivation, I really shouldn’t have ventured into dangerous places.”
The word "millennium" was emphasized so clearly that it was impossible for anyone to miss it.
"A thousand years of cultivation? You've been cultivating for so long!" she exclaimed in astonishment.
Shao Yi's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and she slowly clenched them.
"That must have been very difficult. You went through nine tribulations to reach your current state. The hardships and dangers you faced are beyond the comprehension of others. You really shouldn't have ventured into such a dangerous place. I didn't think it through."
She spoke earnestly, even with a hint of shame. Shao Yi just looked at her, trying to see other emotions in her eyes.
For example, being greedy for cultivation, or being disgusted by it.
But no.
Her eyes were clear and looked straight into my heart; she was someone who couldn't hide her feelings.
Upon hearing this, Shao Yi laughed: "It's alright. No one can do anything to a mountain beast like me with a thousand years of cultivation."
This was the first time he had acknowledged the identity of the mountain beast.
Mu Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's fine, that's fine."
She pushed the little silver fish in front of him.
"How about it? Eat more. If you like it, I'll make it for you again next time."
Shao Yi was in a good mood and, being kind enough, picked up a few more bites.
However, he didn't put down his chopsticks until he had finished the plate of small silver fish.
"Aren't you packing your things?" he asked.
"There's not much time to pack, just bring a few clothes."
Shaoyi noticed her dirty clothes.
I made a new set last time, but it was torn by thorns on the day of the beast tide and was lost long ago.
Now, this set is in a completely dilapidated state.
You can't possibly dress like this in public.
"I still have a bolt of fabric; I'll tailor a new one for you that fits perfectly."
"Make it for the cubs, I don't need it."
Mu Yunyun didn't want to go through too much trouble, as it involved hiking through mountainous terrain.
"We have cubs, and we're not busy either way."
Mu Yunyun saw that he had actually brought over a bolt of fabric, and even a bone knife.
That's a bone knife made by the rabbit tribe; it's sharp and small, and can be used for tailoring.
She had assumed that the cub's clothes were bought with Flower Sea Coins.
How do you know all this?
"Just having nothing better to do."
"What about the sea currency? You said last time that you had a relationship with Shennong."
Shao Yi measured her waistline without intending to hide it from her.
"Shennong was also a mountain beast, but he was not from the same lineage as my Wanxuan Mountain. We had some acquaintance, but not much."
Mu Yunyun's eyes widened.
"Shennong was one of them!"
This is nothing short of a bombshell.
"Mountain beasts gain intelligence at the eighth level and transform into humans at the ninth level. However, only the Shennong clan descends from the mountain; most of the others meet a tragic end."
Mu Yunyun unconsciously grasped his hand.
"Don't worry." It won't happen.
Shaoyi slapped her hand away: "It's blocking the way."
"Oh."
Mu Yunyun obediently put it down.
……
Ginger water.
Ying Ze smashed the pearl to pieces.
"Tell Yinghua to take his things and get out of here. Go as far away as possible. I don't need his fake kindness. I'm not that down on my luck yet. Even if I were, I wouldn't need his hypocrisy."
Gudu quickly picked up the pearl.
"Why do you do this, sir?"
She sighed.
Two years ago, they were forced to migrate to Jiangshui. It was only after the Qi clan protected them that the Dijiang clan finally gave up.
Beihai tried to mend relations, but the adults rejected all his attempts.
Later, after the old clan chief stepped down and Ying Hua succeeded him, he also sent gifts and took care of him every month.
Without exception, they were all driven back.
And so, they're still delivering over there.
I don't know why they insist on doing this.
Is he still not giving up on the idea of forming a bond?
