Mu Bing, Wei Sa
Heavenly Soul Guild.
In terms of both area and interior furnishings, it far surpasses the Nuoding Guild. The walls and ceiling are decorated with crystal Soul Guiding Lamp that resemble jewels.
There is also Soul Tool in the corner that can emit heat, similar to an air conditioner, making the indoor temperature much warmer than the outside temperature.
After entering the area, Tang San, Romantina, and Bu Yi all felt that their clothes were too thick and even a bit hot.
Zhou Qing, on the other hand, seemed to be able to adjust his Heavenly Silkworm Robe, which was made from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, according to the surrounding environment, keeping his body at the most comfortable temperature.
It was precisely because Zhou Qing was wearing the Heavenly Silkworm Robe that most of the people in the guild turned their attention to him.
Nothing more!
This outfit—
How bizarre! And adorably silly!
It can be said that whoever wears this Heavenly Silkworm Robe will be the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Zhou Qing ignored them and immediately noticed the most voluptuous receptionist, asking her if the guild sold maps related to the Northern Forest.
"Some."
The receptionist handed Zhou Qing a map with a smile, saying, "This is a map of the outer area of Northern Forest."
"Only the outer area?" Zhou Qing frowned slightly.
"The central and Core Area contain Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast, and even Hundred-Thousand-Year- old Soul Beast, which are very difficult for Soul Master to explore," the receptionist patiently explained.
"I see, thank you for letting me know." Zhou Qing paid the money, and as soon as he turned around, he found himself being hugged by a little girl.
"What an adorable Ice Silkworm costume! Can I buy it from you?"
The girl was only six years old. She wore a white dress with gold trim, made of Ice Silkworm, which was extremely effective in keeping warm. Her face was round and very cute, especially her big, dark blue eyes, which were as warm and gentle as jade, as if they were filled with flowing water, making her extremely charming.
"Sorry, not for sale."
Zhou Qing shook his head and looked at a white-haired young woman walking towards him.
The young woman smiled and pulled away the girl who was grabbing Zhou Qing's Heavenly Silkworm Robe. She looked at the Heavenly Silkworm Robe with curiosity and asked in surprise, "The material used for your clothes is the skin of Ice Silkworm, right? It looks completely natural, not like it was made from multiple types of Ice Silkworm skin... Can Ice Silkworm really grow this big?"
Ice Silkworm, these Soul Beasts, are well-known in this Extreme North as being at the bottom of the Soul Beast food Soul Beast. The most common ones are Ten-Year, while hundred-year-old Ice Silkworm are quite rare, and thousand-year-old ones are even rarer.
If the skin of an Ice Silkworm can be made into a garment, then this Ice Silkworm must have reached the ten-thousand-year level, and its cultivation level must be at least fifty thousand years!
It can be said that for such a weak Soul Beast as the Ice Silkworm to cultivate for more than 50,000 years is already a miracle, and its shock level is no less than that of a Soul Master with only one level of Innate Soul Power who has cultivated to the level of Soul Douluo!
Although the Ice Silkworm is not strong, its ability to hide is first-rate. It is able to hunt down Ice Silkworm with more than 50,000 years of cultivation, indicating that the power behind it is not weak.
Therefore, the young woman immediately pulled the girl away and took the opportunity to use Zhou Qing's clothes as a topic to try and find out more about him.
"May I ask who you are?"
Zhou Qing didn't respond to that, but instead asked about the other person's identity.
"Excuse me."
Seeing that Zhou Qing remained unmoved and instead responded calmly, the young woman immediately realized that the person in front of her might not be the kind of child who develops quickly, but rather an adult with a baby face. So she apologized first and then introduced herself, "My surname is Mu, and my given name is Bing."
Then, Mu Bing introduced the girl she had pulled along, who was staring intently at Zhou Qing's Heavenly Silkworm Robe with desire written all over her eyes, "She is my young lady, Wei Sa."
Zhou Qing keenly noticed that upon hearing the names Wei Sa and Mu Bing, the adventurers who were eating and drinking not far away involuntarily paused, as if realizing what these two names represented.
But before that, these adventurers clearly didn't know these two people—
Did their names, or rather, their surnames, make the adventurers of the Heavenly Soul Guild realize that these two were no ordinary people? Mu and Wei, members of the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Kingdom?
My name is Qing Zhou.
At this moment, Tang San, Bu Yi, and Romantina walked over from the bar. Zhou Qing introduced them to each other, but used pseudonyms.
Zhou Qing first pointed to Bu Yi and said, "This is my team leader, named Yibu."
Bu Yi naturally knew that she couldn't use her real name when facing strangers, so she nodded to Wei Sa and Mu Bing: "Hello, my name is Yibu."
Then, Zhou Qing extended his hand to Romantina and said, "This lady has the same surname as this lady, also surnamed Wei, and given name: Nas."
Finally, Zhou Qing introduced Tang San: "This one is amazing, his name is Zhang San, and he's known as the outlaw!"
Tang San was speechless.
Zhang San is one thing, but why add the title "outlaw"? In Falling Star City, aren't you the real "outlaw"?
However, upon closer reflection, Tang San realized that during the Falling Star City incident, Zhou Qing had indeed been acting within the bounds of the law, while he himself often walked the line of the law and even frequently tried to break through the boundaries to "break the law."
[I'm not entirely against the idea of "outlaws"!]
Wei Sa's attention shifted to the unremarkable-looking Tang San, and he asked in confusion, "Outlaw? Zhang San? He hasn't been locked up in jail yet? That's strange!"
Tang San blushed, turned his head away, and didn't want to explain.
Zhou Qing, however, said, "Those who break the law are merely walking on the edge of legality. They are not breaking the law, so of course they are innocent. How can they be locked up in jail?"
"Oh~"
Wei Sa nodded blankly, but didn't quite understand.
"You gentlemen are from out of town, aren't you?" Mu Bing glanced at the map in Zhou Qing's hand and smiled. "Are you going to hunt Soul Beast in the Northern Forest?"
"Yes."
Zhou Qing did not deny that although the language of the Douluo Continent was the same, their accents were completely different from those of the locals, making it impossible for them to pretend to be locals.
Outsiders who come to this Far North are either merchant caravans or Soul Master who come to hunt Soul Beast.
Zhou Qing and others were clearly the latter.
"Why don't we go together?"
Mu Bing guessed that Zhou Qing and his group had powerful backing, and also confirmed that Zhou Qing spoke clearly, so she had the idea of befriending him. "I also need to take Wei Sa to obtain her First Spirit Ring. Moreover, outsiders going to the Northern Forest to hunt Soul Beast should cooperate with local adventure groups and Soul Hunting Team."
"Now that you've come to this northern land, you should be aware of the environment here. If it snows heavily, it's a vast expanse of white. Without a guide, or Soul Hunting Team familiar with the forest, it's easy to lose your way."
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with Tang San, Romantina, and Bu Yi, and said, "Then we'll have to trouble Sister Mu Bing. We're willing to pay the appropriate reward."
Mu Bing chuckled, realizing she had guessed wrong. The Zhou Qing in front of her was a fast-growing child, not a young Old Monster: "No need to thank me. It's only right to let outsiders understand the warmth of us northerners. Let's not talk about rewards."
Afterwards, the group left the Heavenly Soul Guild.
Led by Mu Bing, Zhou Qing and the others arrived at the outskirts of the Northern Forest in just half a day, where a small town was located...
