Bonus Extra 2
Qing Kuo laughed, "What's there to object to? You're not ordinary people. The clan leader has already spoken to us, and we all think it's okay. With us here, you can go without worry."
Jian Mo nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "We're skilled enough, and we're taking Jiujiu and Ying'ao with us, so there won't be any danger. Don't worry."
Qing Kuo patted his shoulder. "I know, take care of yourself on the road."
Jian Mo thought it would take some time to persuade everyone in the tribe, but things went so smoothly.
As for Jiujiu and Ying'ao, they were visibly excited to be able to go out with them, showing no sign of having any objections whatsoever.
So the two packed up, handed over their livestock to the tribe, and set off with the two chicks.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had already arranged with the Anomaly Management Bureau to bring out two chicks, Yang Chujian also had people waiting at the exit where time and space overlapped.
Upon seeing the two chicks, Yang Chujian and the others were startled. "What big, adorable little creatures!"
Jian Mo couldn't help but laugh, "Little cutie?"
Yang Chujian the two chicks with their reins on and laughed, "Aren't they cute?"
Jian Mo turned her head to look. Jiujiu was staring at the world with wide, curious eyes, her expression very rich. Ying'ao, on the other hand, tensed his muscles warily and looked around, as if he could launch an attack at any moment.
They're the same bird, yet one looks like a herbivore and the other like a carnivore—it's truly amazing and adorable.
Jian Mo smiled and said, "We've brought them out. Where are we going now?"
Yang Chujian: "It'll be more convenient to take you Shi Wen their ranch. We've already chartered a plane, we can go to the airport now."
Jian Mo: "Okay, thank you."
Yang Chujian: "You're welcome, welcome, friend from another world."
Seeing the peeking Jiujiu over, Yang Chujian added, "... with a friendly beast."
Even Wu Jiong couldn't help but smile this time.
Chapter 209 Bonus Chapter 2
Jian Mo and her group chartered a plane to the airport closest to Shi Wen's ranch.
Shi Wen personally drove a truck to pick them up, Yang Chujian and the others dropped them off and then left.
Shi Wen out of the car, his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Jiujiu and Ying'ao. He looked up at Jiujiu and said, "Your little friends are so cute!"
Jiujiu Shi Wen gently flapped its wings twice. "Jiujiu."
Shi Wen turned to look at Jiujiu and asked with a smile, "Can I touch it?"
Before Jian Mo could speak, Jiujiu, sensing Shi Wen's meaning from Shi Wen tone or expression, proactively leaned her big head closer. "Jiujiu!!!"
Shi Wen looked on with great surprise. "Your little one is very smart!"
Jian Mo sniffed; as a sub-beastman, he could Shi Wen: "It likes you very much."
Shi Wen patted Jiujiu's big head and laughed, "I like Jiujiu very much too. Come on, let's go back first."
Shi Wen told Jian Mo and the others to get into the driver's seat, and directed Jiujiu and Ying'ao to go to the back of the truck.
Jian Mo was worried that Jiujiu and the others would get nervous, so she said, "Let's sit in the back. I'm afraid Jiujiu 'll jump out when the car starts moving."
Shi Wen, "That works too. I was saying they flew here, so they should be used to it by now."
Jian Mo smiled, "Just in case."
Shi Wen, "Then you should all go to the back of the village to rest for a bit, and you can enjoy the scenery here."
Jian Mo and her friends had been to the ranch once before, but this time was different.
Last time they were in a hurry and were brought here by someone. Jian Mo held Wu Jiong's hand the whole time, quietly introducing some things about this world, and didn't really pay attention to the scenery outside.
It was summer, the grass was lush and green, and the sunflowers basked in the sunlight; the scenery outside was truly worth appreciating.
Soon, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, along with the two chicks, were seated in the back seat.
The open-top truck may have just been transporting hay or fodder, carrying the distinctive fresh scent of plants.
Taking in the scent and looking at the vast cornfields on both sides of the road, Wu Jiong whispered to Jian Mo, "I like it here. The scenery is beautiful."
Jian Mo: "I like it too, it's so spacious here!"
There are also snow-capped mountains and forests here, but unlike the Riverside Tribe, the terrain here is very flat, with grasslands and crops stretching far into the distance, forming a green world of varying shades.
Driving through such a place, Jian Mo felt as if she were driving through a fairy tale, and her heart immediately calmed down.
Jiujiu and Ying'ao were also looking around. Jiujiu was full of curiosity, while Ying'ao remained vigilant.
Perhaps because they had been with Jian Mo other two, the two chicks didn't seem nervous.
The car drove for over an hour before finally arriving at a huge ranch.
Shi Wen drove the car directly to the parking space, then opened the door and jumped out, gesturing for Jian Mo and the others to get out as well. "Come on, let's go to our house as guests."
Jian Mo jumped out of the car, then turned to help the two chicks jump out as well. "This place is so beautiful! It's the first time I've ever seen so much green corn. Is corn grown here?"
Shi Wen, "Pretty much. This corn is mainly used for animal feed—we live in a pastoral area, so we consume a lot of feed."
Jian Mo remarked, "I've heard that your farm's scale is the largest in Asia, right? No wonder you grow so much corn."
Shi Wen said, "We're one of the world's leading farms, but the corn you see is all grown on our ranch."
Jian Mo pointed outside the ranch. "That area outside?"
Shi Wen with a hint of pride, "It has always been."
Jian Mo opened her mouth in surprise. "But we drove for over an hour!"
Shi Wen, "Yes, we reclaimed this land, and with government support, we can rent it for ninety-nine years. How about it? Would you like to settle down here?"
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong exchanged a glance, genuinely tempted, but after thinking for a moment, they said, "Never mind, our home is in the tribe, so we can't come over for the time being."
