Hupo's journey to Road to Immortality had to come to an end. There was no other way; it was simply impossible to make a round trip to the moon with three newly transformed ordinary people.
Especially since the spaceship was slowly leaking gas, it was practically a total loss.
Leaving the three of them here is no different than sending them to their deaths.
Moreover, she didn't know the origins of these three people yet; bringing them to White Jade Capital might bring unexpected surprises.
She couldn't learn the Tree People's root control technique, so if she couldn't control the spaceship, she could only resort to a clumsy method.
She went out the same way she came in through the cave entrance. Well, there was nothing she could do about it; she didn't even know where the spaceship's main entrance was.
He flew to the bottom of the spaceship, braced himself with one hand, and with a slight effort, lifted the entire spaceship and flew towards Earth Star.
Since we're in space anyway, dragging this thing around won't take much effort.
The scene might look a bit strange.
This time, Hupo won't get lost. After all, Earth Star is so big right in front of her; there's no way she wouldn't know her way around.
Following the Earth Star, carrying the spaceship, she circled around for a while until she spotted White Jade Capital's location, and then flew over there with the enormous spaceship.
As Hupo approached White Jade Capital, she discovered that a troop of military cultivators stationed White Jade Capital were already flying towards her.
Upon seeing this group, Hupo stopped in her tracks. The group of cultivators didn't hesitate; they spread out and surrounded the entire spaceship from all sides. Only then did the leader of the group approach Hupo.
He certainly recognized Hupo.
In all these years of guarding White Jade Capital, not many have embarked on the Road to Immortality alone, let alone such a lovely little girl.
"Your name is Hupo, right? Didn't you go to the Road to Immortality alone? So... you came back with a fish?"
The squad leader on duty came forward and made a little joke with Hupo.
Hupo smiled somewhat shyly.
"I... I accidentally got lost, went the wrong way, and then I encountered this strange spaceship halfway through. These guys are weird too..."
She stole a glance at the squad leader's expression, wondering if she had unintentionally ruined some classified experiment.
"I haven't made a mistake, have I?"
The garrison squad leader glanced at the spaceship's design, confirmed that he had never seen this model before, and laughed.
"Of course not, you're going to do something really great!"
"Let's go, let's take this spaceship back first. As for the guys on board, tell me in detail."
The other cultivators in the team took over the spaceship and dragged it into the White Jade Capital. Hupo followed behind the team leader and began to recount her bizarre experience.
Back in White Jade Capital, in the garrison soldier's office, Hupo sat to one side, holding a cup of milk tea.
There was no one else in the office. After listening to her explanation, the squad leader brought her over, stuffed her with a bunch of snacks, and then hurriedly left.
Although Hupo likes milk tea, she wasn't really into it at the moment.
Although those guys did startle her at first, during their subsequent "interactions," she felt that they weren't so bad after all.
She was a little worried about how those guys were doing.
Squeak.
The office door opened.
Hupo jumped in surprise, almost spilling the milk tea in her hand.
The garrison captain entered, followed by several cultivators and three people who had been dragged off the spaceship.
Upon seeing Hupo, the squad leader forced a smile, though it was clearly a strained one.
There was nothing they could do; once these guys woke up, they absolutely refused to cooperate. No matter what they were asked, they insisted on seeing Hupo before they could answer anything.
White Jade Capital isn't a special Inspection Department, and these guys are now just ordinary people after being converted.
The regulations governing cultivators in Divine Land are quite strict, and cultivators impose very heavy restrictions on ordinary people's actions.
Especially for official cultivators like them, with Luo Shu in charge, everything they do each day is reported, and things that violate the regulations are impossible to hide.
"Miss Hupo, you didn't say you used Shapeshifting Technique on them."
Hupo was relieved to see the three people being brought in, with no injuries and seemingly unaffected by any magic. However, her anxiety returned after hearing the squad leader's words.
"I'm sorry, they were carrying bombs, and I couldn't do anything about it, so I had to..."
"It's alright. They've told me the whole story, so it's not your fault."
The squad leader was just saying it; things have already come to this, what else can be done?
"The three of them insisted on seeing you, so I brought them along."
He turned to the three people bound by magic. "Hey, they're right here. You can say whatever you want now."
Although these three guys have been transformed into humans, you can still tell them apart at a glance.
The tallest and strongest man is Leopard Head, after all, he is the biggest, standing at 2.5 meters tall, and his physique after transforming into a human is closely related to his original physique.
The Kobolds, only half a meter tall and looking like a shrunken human, is small to begin with, and remains small even after transformation.
However, he seems quite shrewd, unlike that Leopard Head who, in reality, is still a simpleton.
Finally, there's the only woman among the three, who was transformed from the Tree People. Her transformed form is similar in size to a normal person, and her appearance is about 7 or 8 out of 10. However, she bears a resemblance to Hupo in appearance.
Although she followed behind, her muscles kept twitching, as if she were in great discomfort.
Upon seeing Hupo, the three of them disregarded their restraints, struggled a few times, then stepped forward and knelt down before Hupo.
Leopard Head kowtowed three times.
"My benefactor, thank you so much for saving my life. Leopard Head has no way to repay you except to offer myself in gratitude..."
Hupo's mouth dropped open, and she even forgot to drink her milk tea.
The squad leader slapped him across the face.
Is this how you use this word?
He scratched his head. "So that's what the moon meant to me. And what about cows and horses? Aren't those all food? I don't think you eat people."
There are so many flaws, Hupo doesn't even know where to begin her complaints.
How come they can speak Divine Land?
She remembered that when they were on the spaceship, they could only communicate by drawing.
"You didn't pay attention in class when you were learning the Transformation Technique, did you?"
The squad leader cast a questioning glance at him.
"Wow, that's impressive! They dare to use spells they don't even know! The Transformation Technique not only modifies the body but also involves personality transformation. Although they still retain their previous memories and personalities, their core values have been transformed into the traditional foundation of our Divine Land. Forget about speaking Divine Land dialect, look at this guy, he can even pick up on jokes."
Hupo smiled awkwardly; she really didn't know.
"Uh! What are your names? I don't even know them yet, haha."
The awkwardness of the topic shift was so great that I felt so embarrassed I could dig a palace out of my toes.
