Bai Yujun had no choice but to return to the Heavenly Court to report on her duties.
She had severely wounded more than twenty Heavenly Soldiers, nearly crippling a registered celestial general of the Heavenly Army. If she simply left, the blame would inevitably be pinned squarely on the dragon's head, impossible to scrape off. She had to return to the Heavenly Court, report on her duties, and explain the full sequence of events. After all, the dragon was not at fault.
Her journey had been unexpectedly delayed.
The Rebel Organization was secretly searching for the Ancient Ruin. She had to remain vigilant.
"Monkey Brother, wait nearby for a few days. I'll follow the dragon scales to find you when the time comes. There's fruit wine and baked dough stuffed with peanuts and walnuts in the storage pouch. Or... you could go buy some five-kernel mooncakes."
"Eek?"
The monkey's particularly ugly face became even uglier.
Actually, with Bai Yujun around, the monkey had simply been too lazy to think about anything. Aside from being vicious and bloodthirsty by nature, he was also sinister and cunning. Anyone who truly treated him as a rookie would probably meet a miserable end. Of course, he was loyal enough to his friends.
She clamped the immortal general who had suffered a brutal beating and hoisted him up, then took out her Identity Jade Slip to search for the nearest Teleportation Array.
Just then, a merchant dressed in foreign fashions among the trading caravan on the official road caught Bai Yujun's attention. It was no good thing—this fellow was kneeling on the ground, muttering nonsense.
His chirping, babbling bird language was impossible to make out, but she could roughly understand what he meant.
He knelt on both knees with his eyes closed, rattling on endlessly.
