Chapter 451 Return to Jinxia

After seven days of traveling, the Baekje caravan finally returned to the outskirts of Jinxia City from Ganzhou Huangtu Town before the sun set.

There were only three or four people when they left, but when they returned, they were already a mighty team of more than a hundred people.

When the towering city walls in the distance came into view, everyone's hearts gradually rose to their throats.

"We... won't be sold as slaves?"

Wu Lie's sister Wu Qi whispered.

"How could it be... I believe in Lord Li." Wu Lie swallowed his saliva and replied with a stiff face. Although he was the first to stand up and support Li at Yuetai Villa, he still felt strong tension and uneasiness when he really reached the edge of the secular world.

What his sister said was also what most people thought at the moment.

No one was thrown into the wilderness at birth. They all lived in towns or villages for a period of time. Because of this, the miserable life of living with others left an indelible impression on everyone.

But they could not deny that they longed to be recognized and to return to the world - it was this hope that was the main reason that prompted them to leave Yuetai Villa.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Suddenly someone approached the carriage road.

The comforter was Tiangou Shanhui.

"When I was left alone in Jinxia, ​​I was as confused as you at first, not knowing what I would become in the future." He said, wagging his tail, "But I quickly adapted to life here, because Lord Li... has a trait that other monsters don't have."

"What trait?" someone asked.

"She is the king of all monsters." Shanhui first glanced at Li's position, and after confirming that she couldn't hear him, he whispered, "As long as you follow Lord Li and act according to her will, you will no longer feel confused, and you can also quickly integrate into the life of the new city."

"King of all monsters...?" Wu Lie blinked in surprise. This title is really a bit grand. Even Qiongqi only calls himself the Overlord of Hundred Mountains, suppressing the monsters in the mountains, and the King of Ten Thousand Monsters... I'm afraid it doesn't refer to the whole world.

But Li is indeed extraordinary.

He has never seen a fox demon that can suppress a tiger demon in close combat. Youlan did not have a conflict with Qiongqi at the beginning, but after the latter pressed the fox demon to the ground and beat it twice, Youlan chose to surrender.

"That's right. She is the king, and she is different from the owner of the villa. Qiongqi regards himself as the master and treats you as slaves, but Lady Li will treat you as her subjects. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to Lady Li to discuss it. She will never let you suffer humiliation for nothing."

"Any problem is okay?"

"Yes, no matter how big or small, even if it's just worry and trouble, you can come and talk to Lady Li."

These words made everyone's tension subside a lot unconsciously.

The most frightening thing about going to a strange place is that there is no one to rely on. If Lord Li is the backbone, they are no longer rootless duckweed.

When they arrived at the city gate, the group did not enter the city immediately, but were taken to a camp by the river.

"We... are not allowed to enter the city?" Wu Lie asked cautiously.

"Of course not, but we need to do some preparations before entering the city, such as taking a bath." Shan Hui explained. He was also dealing with this for the first time. Fortunately, there were people from the Affairs Bureau to help, so he was not too busy.

"Wash, take a bath!?" Wu Lie subconsciously covered his chest.

Why do you have to do this before entering Jinxia?

They don't want to wash everyone and cook them! ?

"Let's go, I'll accompany you." Shan Hui mentioned Wu Lie and walked towards the bathing area.

On the other side, Li also saw Xia Fan waiting outside the city.

"Can't you wait to see me?" Li smiled and walked forward.

Xia Fan looked at her intently for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that you are fine."

"I have already told you the situation in the voice communication device, are you doubting me?"

"Who knows if you have concealed your injuries." Xia Fan shrugged, "You were obviously disemboweled before but still acted strong, I remember all these past records."

"Okay, I know you care about me. But there is really not much risk this time." Li crossed his arms and said with a proud tone, "The strength of the tiger demon is at most the level of a trial warrior, and its natural magic is also very fixed, which is much easier to deal with than a Taoist priest."

"But I heard you say that your body has changed after the battle at the villa... It seems that there is no difference now?"

It was this sentence that made Xia Fan worry all the time, and Li's voice was quite weak during the voice communication, so he once thought that the other party would be carried back.

It is naturally a good thing to see a fox demon that is still full of vitality now, but he has not forgotten the "change" that Li mentioned.

A blush unexpectedly appeared on Li's face.

She turned away as if embarrassed, "My tail... has grown more."

"What?" Xia Fan was stunned, "What does it mean to have more tails?"

"Literally, from one to two."

Is this okay? Xia Fan looked behind her, "Let me see--"

Pa!

Li slapped Xia Fan on the forehead, "Not here! Let's talk about this... when we get back."

Strange... Xia Fan rubbed his forehead in confusion. In the past, when Li was in Jinxia, ​​he always showed his tail and wandered around. Why did he become so strange today?

He had to change the subject, "What are the monsters in the villa?"

"There are quite a lot of categories. In addition to fox demons, owl demons and tiger demons, there are two wolf demons, one snake demon, six dog demons, and nineteen rabbit demons." Li counted on his fingers and said, "The wolf demon probably attacked me at that time and was afraid of my revenge, so he chose to stay in the villa. The other demons are basically here."

"It seems that the harvest is quite rich." Xia Fan sighed. Although Jinxia is known to have 100,000 demons, most of them are elves and cannot be considered as Jinxia households. Among the remaining demons, except for Li and the living dead, who are local demons, the rest are either from Penglai or from overseas. It seems that in such a large country as Qi, wild demons have disappeared.

The demons rescued by Li this time have filled the gap of local demons.

Their significance is not just a dozen people or air sensors, but enriching the diversity of species-this concept is difficult to be noticed in today's era, but Xia Fan knows its importance. It can be said that each type of demon is a branch from the human trunk, representing a different mutation direction. Their natural magic is also quite unique, and no auxiliary materials or talismans are needed when performing it, so these specialties are quite valuable for research.

…

The bathing process is more formal than Wu Lie imagined. Not only does it have to be washed with water, but it also has to be smeared with soap, and the nails have to be cut... There are even special people to guide when washing. It is considered finished after washing the whole body three or four times, which makes him feel like he is about to be put into the pot.

However, what awaits everyone after washing is not a boiling hot cauldron, but a set of brand new clothes and a whole table of fragrant dinner.
