Fox Spirit

He finally caught up with Zhao Manyan and the other person walking in the group, but when he saw Mu Ningxue, he was stunned... After all, this woman was simply like a celestial being... Even when he stopped there to catch his breath, he would occasionally glance at Mu Ningxue.

"You guys are really fast. I've been chasing you for ages even running like this." When he saw Mu Ningxue's cold gaze looking at him, the young man quickly lowered his head, seemingly embarrassed that he had been discovered. Remembering his business, he hurriedly said...

Zhao Manyan smiled and didn't find his words strange at all. These people were all mages, and although they were walking, their speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.

Then, looking curiously at the boy who had just arrived, she asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man was still panting. After a pause, he continued, "It's like this. Recently, news has come from other places that there are Sea Monster on the coast, and many places have been damaged. So when you're traveling, it's best to stay a little further away from the coastline so you can escape if you see Sea Monster."

"Isn't this the Safe Zone? How come there are Sea Monster here?" Jiang Shaoxu, that little vixen, walked over, stroking the beauty mark on her lip, and pouted at the young man as if deliberately teasing him.

The young man had recovered from his embarrassment, but instead of looking at Jiang Shaoxu, he replied, "It's been a while, but I don't know why the higher-ups haven't sent anyone to exorcise the demon. I heard that several people from the neighboring fishing village went fishing and haven't returned."

"We're not too afraid of Sea Monster, young man. Why don't you lead the way for us and take us to the port? I'll treat you to something nice." Jiang Shaoxu tapped the boy's shoulder with her finger and said with a smile.

"Well..." The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist Jiang Fox's temptation and nodded, saying, "Alright, anyway, the village chief has already banned us from going out to sea to fish, and we have nothing to do in the village."

Thinking that these fishermen rely on fishing for a living, how would they survive if they didn't fish? Jiang Shaoxu asked again, "If you don't fish, what will you eat?"

The young man said helplessly, "We'll have to rely on our stockpiles, but they probably won't last more than a few months. So, this time when I'm in Fei Niao City, I also want to ask when the higher-ups will get rid of these Sea Monster roaming the coast. If the Sea Monster aren't dealt with, we won't dare go out to sea to fish."

"What's the point of going up there? You just guide me, and I'll help you get rid of the Sea Monster. It's a piece of cake, hehe." Jiang Shaoxu said with a charming smile.

"I'll lead you the way, but as for the Sea Monster, forget it... It's not something an ordinary person can handle. I heard from Da Hu in the next village that the Sea Monster is four or five feet tall and can swallow half of our fishing boat in one gulp. It's terrifying!" the young man said earnestly.

In his view, these people were just ordinary young men and women on adventure.

As they walked along, they learned that the other person's name was Liu Meng, a typical simple boy who rarely left the village, and who seemed to have only attended school for a few years before learning to fish with his family.

In fact, not all coastal areas are prosperous; there are many poor fishing villages, and the inconvenient transportation and sea routes have led to their isolation.

This is why the village chief didn't know what unlicensed tour groups were. The old village chief had lived here his entire life and had never left...

Throughout the journey, although Liu Meng appeared simple and honest, his gaze was actually mostly fixed on Mu Ningxue, the woman he was spying on. Of course, there was no wicked intent in his eyes; perhaps he simply hadn't seen such a beautiful girl before?

Jiang Shaoxu was very unhappy because she felt that with her looks, she could easily make this country bumpkin infatuated! Of course, she was just playing around and simply enjoyed the feeling of flirting. She wasn't actually head over heels in love with a silly young man at first sight. However, Liu Meng's constant, secret stares at Mu Ningxue along the way had stirred up her resentment!

"I heard that people in the city are generally not in good physical condition, and they get tired after walking only three or four miles. I didn't expect you guys to be so amazing. I'm already panting heavily, but you guys are fine, not even breaking a sweat." Liu Meng was completely impressed after walking this far.

Not to mention the young men, even the delicate girls in the group, who looked like they were about to burst into tears, didn't even break a sweat. I don't know why the villagers always say that city people are pampered, but these people are stronger than them!

"Haven't you heard of a sorcerer?" Jiang Shaoxu was truly stubborn, clearly determined to bewitch this young man, so she was happy to talk to him and tease him.

"Master, of course I've heard of you. A few years ago, someone from our village got into Magic High School. That was amazing! They decorated the place with lanterns and streamers, and he even married Lan Hua, whom we all thought was the prettiest girl. My uncle also said that if you become a master, you can basically marry any girl in town you fancy." Liu Meng spoke with great enthusiasm, clearly showing his admiration for masters.

"Is that orchid you're talking about as pretty as me?" Jiang Shaoxu pouted, revealing a charming look.

Liu Meng had never seen a woman with such beautiful permed hair speak to him so closely before. His dark face flushed slightly, and he murmured, "Not... not nearly as good."

"Am I not as good as her?" Jiang Shaoxu moved closer, her breath sweet as orchids, asking a question she already knew the answer to.

"She... she's not as good as you," Liu Meng stammered. He really couldn't resist Jiang Shaoxu's flirting!

"Liu Meng, let me ask you this: if I were also a mage, and a very powerful one at that, wouldn't I be able to pick any man in your town or village?" Jiang Shaoxu continued to tease the honest and simple man.

"This..." Liu Meng didn't know how to answer.

While Liu Meng was still bewildered, Jiang Shaoxu's foxy laughter rang out again, making Liu Meng even more nervous and unable to lift his head, yet he still wanted to steal a few more glances...

Ultimately, he was just a simple mountain man; how could he resist such seduction from this vixen? Liu Meng was clearly completely captivated...

It's about eight or nine li (approximately 4.5-5 kilometers), which would actually take some time to walk.

Liu Meng had no idea that these people were all highly skilled mages, whose seemingly ordinary steps concealed different types of magic, making their movements exceptionally fast.

Liu Meng was exhausted from the journey, while Ai Jiangtu felt that everyone was wasting time.

Fortunately, the road was difficult to travel, so Liu Meng was needed as a guide; otherwise, Liu Meng would have been left behind long ago.

After walking for most of the day, we finally saw the bay the old fisherman had described.
