"Alright, come in."
Xu Long sighed and beckoned Anu to come into the carriage.
"It doesn't look very big from the outside, but it's surprisingly spacious inside."
Anu was very surprised, then sniffed a few times.
"Huh, what's that weird smell?"
No, you're mistaken.
Zhao Ling'er's pretty face flushed red, and she secretly rolled her eyes at Xu Long.
The young girl, simple-minded as she was, quickly forgot about the smell in the carriage and asked instead, "My lord, is there anything to eat? Anu is hungry."
Yes, we have whatever you want to eat.
Xu Long took out two roast chickens from his storage space, one for Anu and one for Rice Bucket.
He gained a lot during this period. Although the transformation of his soul was stalled, his bloodline continued uninterrupted.
Zhao Ling'er truly lives up to her reputation as a descendant of Nüwa; her bloodline is unbelievably pure.
The first attack completed Xu Long's physical transformation, and each subsequent attack allowed Xu Long to experience further progress.
Xu Long's power was also nourishing Zhao Ling'er's body, making her skin more delicate, smooth, and elastic.
After Anu joined, Xu Long began to adjust his physical condition to prepare for any possible battle.
In the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Witch King found Shi Gonghu and demanded that he bring Zhao Ling'er back.
Shi Gonghu was a veteran of three dynasties in the Nanzhao Kingdom. He was stubborn and extreme in character. He loved his adopted son Tang Yu very much, but his stubbornness prevented him from showing it. He always treated Tang Yu with a very strict attitude.
The Moon Worship Sect Leader thought no one in the world loved him, but when he died, he realized that it wasn't that no one loved him, but that he had given up the love that Shi Gonghu had given him.
Shi Gonghu led Tang Yu and the others to the Central Plains, with the people of the Moon Worship Sect following closely behind.
The meeting between Xu Long, Shi Gonghu, and the Moon Worship Sect Leader is about to begin.
" The Concentric Pendant is finally in my hands."
While Anu was eating heartily, Xu Long took the other half of the pendant.
The two halves of the pendant, one representing heaven and the other earth, came together and immediately burst forth with dazzling light.
This light seemed to be visible only to Xu Long, because Zhao Ling'er and Anu had been chatting the whole time and hadn't glanced in their direction once.
Name: Concentric Pendant - Heaven and Earth
Rank: Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact
Type: Consumables
Origin: The Legend of Sword and Fairy
Effect:
1. After use, fate will bring you together with your destined other half. Love, hate, joy, anger, sorrow, and everything else will become inseparable.
Note: The trajectory of fate Wuxian long, and the uncertain future Wuxian distant. When you receive this pendant, the path has already unfolded before you. Are you ready?
With a sudden burst of force, the Concentric Pendant instantly dissipated into tiny specks of light.
Xu Long looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.
Fate is nowhere to be found, but it is certain that it does not reside in this realm.
When Xu Long meets his destined other half, he and his partner will feel a connection.
Whether they'll end up together or engage in a love-hate relationship, nobody knows.
Xu Long never believed that this thing was for finding a wife; his intuition told him that it would be a formidable rival.
If he kills his opponent, his future will be bright. If his opponent kills him, the same will be true.
"My dear husband, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Seeing Xu Long's thoughtful expression, Zhao Ling'er asked.
"No, I was just thinking about some things."
Xu Long smiled and changed the subject.
The carriage swayed gently, at a leisurely pace, and Rice Bucket driver was almost asleep.
It misses Little Yellow, misses Little Yellow's long legs in white stockings, misses Little Yellow's 36D.
"Awoo!"
A loud howl echoed in all directions, and all the wolves and dogs that heard the howl rushed over, eager to admire the Wolf King's handsome and imposing face.
"What's going on? Why are there so many wolves?"
About twenty miles away from the Rice Bucket, Shi Gonghu, Tang Yu, and the others gathered together with solemn expressions, gripping their weapons tightly.
A dense, dark mass of wolves surged forward.
A rough estimate suggests there are at least tens of thousands of them.
"These should be several large wolf packs, but wolves are in competition with each other, so why are they grouped together?"
Shi Gonghu was knowledgeable and experienced, and he could tell at a glance that the wolf pack was not a single group.
But the more this was the case, the more puzzled he became, because the situation was too strange, unless there was a Wolf King stronger than the leader of these wolves summoning them.
However, Wolf King that has reached that level has long since become a demon king, so why would it care about these ordinary wolves?
"Follow them and see what's going on!"
Shi Gonghu and the others followed closely behind, and after hurrying along, they finally saw the carriage surrounded by wolves.
Countless wolves surrounded the carriage like soldiers, yet they did not obstruct its path.
A large area in front was cleared out, where a full twenty powerful Wolf King hopped and skipped, sometimes forming an "S" shape, sometimes a "B" shape, seemingly having a great time.
What's going on?
Even with Shi Gonghu's extensive knowledge, he was completely dumbfounded by what he saw.
These Wolf King are no weaklings; in a small town, they would be enough to wreak havoc. But right now, they're as docile as fools.
"Awoo!"
Another long howl reached his ears, and Shi Gonghu looked in the direction of the sound, his expression immediately changing drastically.
Then they saw a white wolf with long fur sitting on the carriage, crossing its legs and driving it forward.
That horse was no ordinary creature either; facing so many hungry wolves, it remained completely calm and continued to walk slowly forward.
"What's going on with that wolf? Is it driving a car? And who's inside?"
Shi Gonghu couldn't imagine what kind of person could do such a thing.
"Father, Anu is inside the carriage."
Tang Yu said something, his eyes fixed on the carriage, his expression extremely tense.
"That silly girl, Anu?"
Shi Gonghu was completely bewildered, feeling that so many strange things were happening every day.
"Godfather, I must save Anu!"
Concerned for Anu's safety, Tang Yu rushed forward.
However, just as he was about to subdue the white wolf, a familiar figure flew out of the carriage.
" Tang Yu Xiaobao! Anu missed you so much!"
Holding Anu as they landed among the wolves, Tang Yu was incredibly nervous, but for Anu's sake, he was determined to fight on, even if it meant death.
Unfortunately, he was overthinking things, and the wolves didn't even bother to glance at him, continuing to hop and skip forward.
" Anu, what's wrong?"
Zhao Ling'er opened the window and saw Tang Yu, who was anxiously protecting Anu. She could roughly guess who had come.
The two of them chatted for the past few days, and they talked about almost everything about the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Zhao Ling'er learned about the situation and important figures of the Nanzhao Kingdom from the sidelines, but she did not completely believe Anu's words and instead analyzed it herself.
She was only six or seven years old when she left the Nanzhao Kingdom, but she knew exactly what had happened.
Zhao Ling'er would never believe that the Moon Worship Sect Leader was a good person.
