The Green Phoenix Territory.

The night was still, Taiyin hung high in the sky.

The girl's delicate wings, like jade drawn into silk, were tinged with a frosty hue by the moonlight.

She sat on the branch of the tallest tree in the clan's territory, her long legs swinging gently, holding Big-Headed Doll in her arms.

She seemed to be... lost in thought?

Ying Bing stared blankly at the moon, her eyes gazing at it with an unfocused expression, making her appear even more like a flawless jade sculpture.

Before she could recover her thoughts, the branch dipped slightly, and the person who had arrived... the bird was the girl in blue.

After spending several days together Ying Bing already knew her name.

Luan Qing.

Ring ring--

Luan Qing means:

"It's time to set off; the old clan chief sent me to inform you."

"Yes, thank you."

Ying Bing nodded.

Luan Qing didn't leave, standing there hesitantly, wanting to express something but shy, burying her head in her wings.

Is there anything you need my help with?

Ying Bing's clear voice seemed softer than usual at this moment?

Luan Qing hesitated for a moment, then shook the bell at an unusual frequency.

It was intermittent; if Ying Bing hadn't learned some music during this time, she probably wouldn't have been able to understand it at all.

"Could you please help me hang this on the Marriage Tree at the Hanging Temple?"

Luan Qing's face was filled with hope:

"I've heard that if you hang your wish on Marriage Tree, your destined person will appear soon, and then I'll be able to speak."

"OK..."

Ying Bing reached out and took it, only to find that Luan Qing had given her two brocade pouches.

Luan Qing smiled and shook the bell:

"You already have your destined one, but hanging the brocade pouch on the Marriage Tree will still ensure a happy and fulfilling life..."

"..."

Ying Bing paused for a moment before opening her mouth, but before she could speak...

"Little Bing! Where are you? We need to leave!"

Shang Qinqing's voice came through.

"They've arrived."

Ying Bing lowered her eyes for a moment, and finally, her slender, fair fingers grasped the brocade pouch in her palm and placed it into the Big-Headed Doll.

The girl spread her wings and soared into the night sky.

At the same time.

The fishbone boat glided across the water, creating a splashing sound that startled the unknown wild beasts in the jungle, causing them to scatter in all directions.

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Mo sat on the eye socket of the fish head, gazing at the familiar giant moon, the Taiyin Divine Pattern on the little figure in his Dantian faintly glowing.

These past few days I've been staying in the Blackwater Marsh, the territory of the Cry Dragon Clan. Every day has been either overcast or cloudy turning to rain, so I haven't seen the moon in a long time.

The Taiyin was serene and quiet, as always.

Like the moonlight I've gazed upon countless times before.

While Little Li lost in thought, it didn't affect his ability to observe the Divine Intent of Taiyin.

The Taiyin in this Small World also hangs high, seemingly having some kind of connection with the moon in the outside world.

Fully automatic cleansing of the Will Soul, observing Divine Intent.

"Master Sky Dragon?"

"Brother Li... Mo?"

A voice suddenly came from behind him, startling Li Mo who was still in a daze.

Looking back, it was Murong Xiao and Wu Dameng.

"Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? You walk so quietly, it's terrifying!"

Murong Xiao patted his shiny head:

"I think Brother Mo can see it."

"I was just practicing, completely focused. Brother Murong, is this the first time you've known I'm so serious when I practice?"

Li Mo spoke with righteous indignation, then coughed lightly and asked:

"What's wrong?"

I'm hungry.

Murong Xiao didn't eat again tonight.

He was a vegetarian, but the only vegetarian food in the Cry Dragon Clan was aquatic plants used for picking teeth.

"Oh, I picked some wild chives, we can roast them and eat them."

"This isn't a good idea."

"Hmm... right, it seems that Buddhism considers chives to be part of the meat category..."

"No, Brother Li, today is my first day of abstaining from pornography, it's crucial, I absolutely cannot fail again."

"..."

In the end Murong Xiao still ate the grilled chives, mainly because the grilled chives were so fragrant.

Li Mo also told him that since today was the first day anyway, eating chives would still make tomorrow the first day, and the number of days of abstaining from sex wouldn't decrease.

It won't change from the second day to the first day.

Even Buddha himself couldn't say you gave up halfway!

Murong Xiao felt that what Brother Li said was very philosophical; he actually understood Buddha so well and was far more insightful than he was.

"It smells so good!"

"You keep eating, Da Meng, want some? Want some with cumin and chili?"

Just as Wu Dameng was about to nod, Li Mo shook his head and said:

"Let's forget about it, it'll probably rain again after you finish eating."

The Cry Dragon Clan's rule for traveling in the Southern Border is that one should not sneeze casually.

"Oh, by the way, Aquatic Clan just passed by and brought you a gift."

Wu Dameng ate his chives, looking enviously at the prodigy Xiao Li.

"Sigh, just pile them all up there."

Li Mo pointed to a corner of the fishbone-shaped cabin, where many gifts from the Aquatic Clan and other races were piled up, all for marriage proposals.

Their journey was as spectacular as when he was announced as a "Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul" on the Hidden Dragon Ranking in Yun Province...

"Aren't you even going to take a look? At least consider it!"

"What's so interesting about it?"

Li Mo wasn't interested.

Wu Dameng, however, persisted patiently. "For example, this is Red Crystal Coral given to me by the princess of the Giant Whale Clan. Although she is a bit large, but..."

How big is it?

"His true form is... a hundred or so feet tall?"

"Take the young master?"

"Um... how about you take a look at this Sea King Squid Clan, Boss Mo...?"

The powerful Aquatic Clan heading to the Hanging Temple were not limited to the Cry Dragon Clan.

Some even traveled from as far as the South Sea, having naturally heard of the Sky Dragon's deeds, and the Cry Dragon Clan was different from some other clans.

Some ethnic groups only allow intra-ethnic marriages to ensure the purity of their bloodlines.

Even more extreme is the case of the Green Phoenix, whose entire clan eagerly awaits their destiny.

However, the Cry Dragon has never been very strict about the species of its other half.

This can be seen from Brother Murong sitting there eating chives.

"Da Meng, tell me the truth, did you receive any bribes?"

Li Mo said irritably, "All the ones you've introduced are the huge ones."

"I think a male should mate with a strong female. What do humans call that... being a kept man? Being a kept man is so comfortable, Boss Mo, I'm doing this entirely for your sake."

What Wu Dameng said was perfectly reasonable.

Otherwise, why would he become an actor...?

Li Mo was silent for a moment:

Where did you learn that trick?

"There are often storytellers along the moat in Nanguan City. I often hear a story called 'The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me,' which makes a lot of sense."

"Don't listen to storytelling. That's all science fiction. Do you even understand science fiction? It's as absurd as Cry Dragon sneezing and not it raining."

"Zun Du..."

"Um?"

Seeing Wu Dameng, who had transformed into a burly man with ferocious and savage Dragon Clan features, Li Mo felt a growing urge to become Wu Dameng.

My fist clenched instinctively, which was strange.

The following morning.

In the distance, one can already see an ancient temple perched high on the mountain, seemingly radiating holy light amidst the clouds and mist, its grandeur unmatched.

Hanging Temple.

After disembarking from the Fish Bone Ship, Little Li encountered a major problem.

They didn't even disembark from the Fish Bone Ship.

From afar, a large group of the Aquatic Clan could be seen, swarming in front of the dock. Most of them were women with the Aquatic Clan characteristics, dressed up exquisitely, and carrying their tribe's treasures.

Some of them weren't even there to try and obtain the Heavenly Jade from the Hanging Temple.

Why is that?

Of course, it's for the bloodline of the True Dragon!

Even just a tiny bit!

Even if it's very faint!

But as long as it exists, there is a possibility of reverting to its ancestral form in the future, and there is a possibility of leaping over the Dragon Gate!

The scene was enormous.

Sky Dragon Little Li leaned back tactically and took a deep breath.

"Damn it, it's coming for me."

I'm begging you viewers to give me some money. Just send the money to this little idiot, hehe.
