The Xun Tree

Broad daylight.

Grove of trees.

Yu Shang was tied to a tree, and the illusory image of Qin Yi, transformed from Liusu, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up.

Qin Yi hugged it tightly around the waist. "Great Staff, forget it, Great Staff..."

Liusu jumped up and down. "I've seen people who don't know what's going on, but I've never seen anyone this clueless!"

"No, let's talk this out. There's no point in doing it again... Besides, she didn't even resist this time. What's the point of bullying her?"

"Mind your own business... Let go of me first, where are you touching with that stinky hand? If you're so capable, go touch her, what's the point of touching me?"

"... It's just a waist, why are you making it sound like something amazing..."

The illusory figure he was holding turned into Little Ghost, slipped out of his embrace, and glared at him angrily.

The dog yawned to himself.

A woman's waist is not to be touched... It's a pity I know the secret but dare not tell, otherwise I would be beaten to death by the Great Devil King.

Anyway, after witnessing the Great Devil King turn into "My Great Staff," the dog's worldview has completely collapsed, so he can just watch the drama unfold.

Qin Yi walked up to Yu Shang with a helpless expression. "Little girl, are you lacking something in your five elements?"

Yu Shang paused for a moment. "I'm lacking the element of fire in my Five Elements."

"..." Qin Yi felt that he had never experienced more moments of being both amused and exasperated than he had ever met this guy in his entire life.

He flashed his Red Lotus Tribulation Fire: "I have it."

Yu Shang remained expressionless.

Qin Yi remained expressionless.

An awkward silence fell.

After staring at each other for a while, Qin Yi finally said, "You say you're the enemy, but you don't seem to be resisting. What are you doing?"

Yu Shang said, "I said we were enemies, but I didn't say I was going to continue attacking. You're blinded by lust and insist on tying me up."

Liusu:"..."

Qin Yi was speechless. "Alright, alright, whatever you say. Now, will you take us to your tribe?"

"Can."

Qin Yi was overjoyed, but then Yu Shang continued, "But I must be the one escorting the enemy back."

Qin Yi rolled up his sleeves.

Liusu tugged at him from behind, saying, "Brother Yi, forget it, Brother Yi..."

Qin Yi reached out and touched the downy Yu Shang, gently stroking them. "Where is your clan?"

Yu Shang trembled, her face flushed red, and she remained silent.

Qin Yi said leisurely, "The location of your base on land shouldn't be a secret. I can just ask someone else. Let's not waste our time."

Perhaps the physical form is very different from the original Liusu spirit, such as the temperature... or the roughness of the palm.

Yu Shang gasped for breath, exhausted. "I... I'll take you there."

Qin Yi released his hand.

Yu Shang looked at him with a complicated expression. "But this is the only section of the road that can be flown. The closer we get to that side, the more we have to walk... Don't, don't touch me. This isn't my doctrine, but rather that you will be shot down as if you were invading our airspace."

Qin Yi moved half a foot away, the warmth and softness of the down feathers still lingering in his palm...

Fortunately, his sense of right and wrong remained, and he finally managed to restrain himself and snap his fingers.

The Yu Shang beads that had been tied to the tree were quickly removed, turning into an invisible restraint that bound her hands behind her back.

"It's not that I want to bully you." Qin Yi removed her hairband, hid the sapphire, which was clearly a powerful Law Treasure artifact, into his ring, and said seriously, "You said you're an enemy, so I can't be sure if you'll launch a sneak attack. At least you need to restrain yourself a little."

Yu Shang's silver hair instantly became disheveled, and her appearance changed from noble to disheveled, but she said nothing and silently flew up with her hands behind her back, "Let's go."

Qin Yi followed behind with Liusu Su in tow. Liusu glanced at him sideways and asked, "How was it?"

Qin Yi gave an awkward laugh and said nothing.

Liusu said leisurely, "Be careful not to get addicted."

Qin Yi changed the subject. "Are all the Winged Human Race like this? This is so frustrating."

Liusu didn't continue to annoy him, and replied, "Yes... but it depends on your perspective."

Qin Yi paused, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"At this point, you have a misunderstanding with her, and you feel very troubled by the hostility between you. You feel like she's a blockhead who can't explain herself, and you wish you could train her to death. But if you were someone she approves of, or even someone she follows the rules of, you would feel that she is the most loyal and reliable subordinate, someone you can absolutely trust."

Qin Yi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Liusu said, "Actually, even if that drop of Dragon Might blood inheritance, which didn't even give you any power but merely bestowed upon you dragon might, is confirmed, you'll at most earn some respect from them. But someone like Ye Ling..."

Qin Yi suddenly realized. "Right... someone like Ye Ling might actually be able to command their tribe?"

"Yes." Liusu said, somewhat puzzled, "I wonder what kind of pact their ancestors had with the dragon. In my memory, the Winged Human Race should be more related to the Phoenix... Dog, do you know anything about this?"

Taotie said, "I haven't heard of that. We wouldn't be so gossipy as to eavesdrop on all the affairs of the myriad races. Anyway, they were indeed more closely related to the phoenix in their early years. Their ancestors had a very good relationship with the first phoenix, right?"

"They've fallen out, haven't they? That's not surprising." Qin Yi said, "Anyway, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us. As long as we know they're worshipping the dragon now, that's enough... Let's make contact and see what happens. If it's a good opportunity, we can bring Ye Ling over to take a look."

They didn't try to hide their conversation from Yu Shang Yu Shang, who listened silently the whole time, secretly amazed.

These people... seem to know things that even the Clan Leader and the High Priest don't know?

Their tone was very frank; could the dragon blood really have been obtained through normal inheritance?

Is this truly the final resting place for the Winged Human Race?

The first geographical fact that Qin Yi confirmed on this continent was that it was indeed a very large continent.

Because he and Yu Shang flew westward to the seaside, they flew for several days without seeing the sea.

Their current flight speed is no joke. If the Earth were the size of the planet, this would be enough time to circle the equator twice, but here they still haven't seen the end of a single continent.

Along the way, we saw many strange and wonderful cities and tribes on the land.

For example, we've seen the Gentleman Country and the Lady Country...

The clothing and customs of these countries are very similar to those of Shenzhou, giving Qin Yi reason to believe that their gods are cultivators from Shenzhou. However, he had no intention of visiting them at the moment.

There are also some really interesting races of people, like those whose ears droop down enough to be used as blankets, or whose arms are longer than a person's, those who walk backwards, and those who have no shadows... all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

If he didn't have a specific goal to achieve and was simply traveling, Qin Yi felt he could explore this continent for a hundred years.

I imagine my Senior Sister would find it very interesting to come here, and she would certainly enjoy herself with Qing Cha.

Her paintings will surely be more vivid, and her music will have an exotic feel.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw a strange sight in the distance.

A giant tree grows horizontally, stretching across the land for thousands of miles. Because it grows horizontally, its height, which is also its diameter, is several miles high.

This is not a tree at all; it's more like a mountain range lying horizontally.

There were many winged people and various kinds of birds flying and playing in the tree. The scene was peaceful, yet also had a mythical and bizarre quality.

This is not Jianmu.

"It's the Seeking Wood!" Liusu shouted, "There really is a Seeking Wood here!"
