Celestial Beings Hybrid

Following Jiang Lan, Bai Qiuran and Wisdom Immortal arrived at a small house surrounded by trees.

This simple hut, built of stones and thatch, was constructed on the mountain. Jiang Lan used her Divine Power to forcibly clear a space in the lush forest and made it her dwelling.

Beside the cottage was a simple fence made of bamboo strips. Two plots of land had been cleared out in the yard, planted with some flowers and plants that Bai Qiuran couldn't understand. Next to the cottage were rows of wooden shelves, on which were placed earthen-yellow pottery jars, from which rustling sounds could be heard.

"Don't touch anything in my yard, or I won't be responsible for burying you if you get poisoned."

Seeing Bai Qiuran curiously observing a flower in the yard, Jiang Lan reminded her.

Bai Qiuran straightened up and followed Jiang Lan into her small house.

Pushing open the door, the conditions inside the hut were extremely simple, much more primitive than the poorest farmhouse Bai Qiuran had ever seen. A small table was made of wood and stones on the ground, with two wooden stakes placed beside it as benches. In the corner next to the small table, a stone platform covered with Beast Hide was probably the bed used by the little girl in front of her.

There were many bottles and jars in the corner of the room, as well as containers made from animal skulls, but the room did not have any strange smell; instead, it was filled with a subtle, pleasant fragrance.

It felt like a mixture of many medicinal herbs and a certain sweet, cloying flavor.

"This is for you."

Jiang Lan rummaged through a wooden box against the wall of her room and pulled out a hammock made of Beast Hide, handing it to Bai Qiuran.

"There are two trees outside. You can hang this on them and sleep in them... After tomorrow, I'll take you to heaven and have His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor bestow upon you Divine Office. Then you won't have to stay in a place like mine anymore."

"Oh, thank you."

Bai Qiuran took the Beast Hide she offered.

"There's miasma surrounding it outside; even ordinary Heavenly Gods can't get in. You don't need to worry about your safety while sleeping in the courtyard."

Jiang Lan gave a few more instructions, then said, "Alright, you can go out and rest now. I'm going to bed too."

Bai Qiuran Consciousness wanted to say how early it was, but when he looked up at the sky, he remembered that he was in another era.

Nights in this era were extremely dangerous. Even in Settlement, Human Race were always at risk of being attacked and losing their lives. Therefore, working at sunrise and resting at sunset was probably the proper way of life in this era.

Although Jiang Lan is Heavenly Gods, the fact that she lives on the earth rather than in the heavens suggests that she was likely ostracized by other Heavenly Gods. Furthermore, her lifestyle on the earth was probably influenced by the Human Race.

As soon as Jiang Lan came out of the hut, she closed the door. Bai Qiuran's keen ears heard rustling sounds coming from inside. This Heavenly Gods girl must have undressed and gone to sleep, just as she had said.

He carried the Beast Hide hammock around the hut and found the two large trees growing together behind it, with some branches that were perfect for tying the hammock to.

As long as there's a foothold, climbing is no problem for Bai Qiuran. He climbed up the tree with his hammock, tied the two ends of the hammock to the branches of two trees, and was about to lie down when his eyes suddenly caught sight of a specially left passage in a corner at the back of the yard.

Bai Qiuran was filled with curiosity. Relying on his superior skills and daring, he was not afraid of any danger and jumped down from the tree, silently sneaking over.

Beyond the passage was a cleared path, which looked like it was frequently used. Following the path forward, Bai Qiuran finally emerged from the forest and arrived at a cliff.

Looking down, there were scattered lights on a dark, open field.

What did you see?

Sensing Bai Qiuran's movement, Wisdom Immortal, who had been feigning death for most of the day, shook her head and asked, "Let me see too."

Bai Qiuran lifted Wisdom Immortal's head, showing him the firelight in the wilderness. Without hesitation, Wisdom Immortal exclaimed, "Isn't that Human Race Settlement?"

"Yes."

Bai Qiuran said, "You can tell from the riverbank that this young lady, Jiang Lan, seems to have a good impression of Human Race."

Oh, speaking of which, I forgot to tell you.

Only then did Wisdom Immortal try to salvage the situation.

"That little girl is a hybrid of Heavenly Gods and Human Race."

"This bloodline?"

Bai Qiuran surprise, "A demigod?"

"There's no such thing as a demigod; she's a pure-blooded Heavenly Gods, the kind who perfectly inherited the Human God duties of the previous generation."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "Little Miss Su is considered Half-Demon because the Demon Emperor's bloodline has been passed down for so many generations, but it still cannot completely offset our Human Race bloodline. But the bloodline of the Heavenly Gods is different. The level of the Heavenly Gods' bloodline is too high for other races in this era. Their offspring with other races either die young or become pure-blooded gods."

"Then her attitude towards Human Race can be explained."

Bai Qiuran rested her chin on her hand and nodded.

So, who are her parents?

"If you ask for their names, I can only say that even the Great Wisdom cannot see them. Perhaps, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, their names are not yet worthy of being remembered."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "All I know is that her father was an ordinary Human Race, while her mother was once God of Medicine, and later seemed to have also been in charge of the Vast Sea."

"And what about her?"

Bai Qiuran.

"As you've heard, she controls the Plague Poison, and also medicine. Of course, she also inherited her mother's Vast Sea Authority."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "However, she Master of the Vast Sea yet doesn't reside Vast Sea, and she governs Plague yet lives so close to the Human Race. I'm afraid those creatures in the heavens are constantly thinking of ways to get rid of her."

"So, from our perspective, we can trust her?"

Bai Qiuran asked the final question.

"It's up to you. Anyway, she's considered a pro -Human Race faction, so there's no reason for her to harm you right now."

Wisdom Immortal hesitated for a moment, then said, "By the way, I now understand why you needed to urinate after drinking the nectar from the Nectar Tree."

What's the reason?

"In the nectar of that Nectar Tree, there was actually a sachet containing deadly poison."

Wisdom Immortal said, "That's right, just as you guessed, it was that little girl who urinated there. You wanted to urinate because your body actively expelled indigestible Poisonous Creatures. In other words, that Black Dragon of the celestial Heavenly Gods was actually poisoned to death by your urine..."

"Oh shit."

Bai Qiuran's face fell.

You still say she wouldn't hurt me.

"She certainly wouldn't harm you. She put the poison there; Human Race can't reach that kind of place at all. She probably wanted to poison passing Strange Beasts, or even Heavenly Gods. Who knew you'd stop there for a drink halfway through your journey?"

Wisdom Immortal sighed, "It's my fault too. I didn't see clearly at the time. But anyway, you're tough and resilient, so there was no danger. Let's just pretend nothing happened."
