Chapter 184: A Mandrill That Comes and Comes Like the Wind
A few days later, the two finally saw the gate of Wangshu City. After a simple registration, they entered the city.
"Is that Wangshu Inn? It's really spectacular!"
Wangshu Inn is built on a hill. You can see the inn protruding from the ground throughout Wangshu City. Especially, there happens to be a big tree growing in the inn, which adds a bit of flavor to the inn.
"Let's go! Xiangling, I'll take you to meet someone!"
Mandrill held the bell Zhong Mo gave him and looked at the two of them. Under this strong aura, Xiang Ling just stood blankly with Zhong Mo, unable to say a word.
"So when you come back this time, do you intend to return the bell to me? As I said, I have nothing left to teach you, and I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense for you to come back."
"Master, what did you say? Can't I come back to you if there is nothing? Can't you just pretend that I miss you?"
"Miss me? But I don't need your thoughts. This is meaningless to me. My contract with the emperor about you has been completed."
Zhong Mo felt that something was wrong with Mandrill. He seemed to be deliberately distant, but Zhong Mo didn't know if this was Mandrill's nature.
She looked at Xiang Ling and suddenly realized: "Is it because there are "outsiders" here?"
"Master, this is Xiang Ling, my good friend!"
"Xiang Ling? Are you the disciple of the True Lord of Gechenlang City?" Mandrill looked Xiang Ling up and down.
"The bones are good."
Xiangling felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Oh my god, I actually got praise from the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. Am I just dreaming?"
Zhong Mo was in the same state as Xiang Ling at this time, and her mind only echoed Xiang Ling's words "The Great Sage of Conquering Demons".
She suddenly remembered that she once asked Mandrill: "Who is more powerful, the Great Sage of Conquering Demons or Mandrill?"
After a while, Zhong Mo finally came back to his senses: "Master, it turns out you are the Great Sage of Conquering Demons!"
"it's me."
Mandrill just admitted it flatly, but Zhong Mo felt that after Mandrill knew Xiang Ling's identity, he seemed not as alienated as before.
This is why he remembered Zhongli saying that no one else should know Zhong Mo's identity, but if he was a disciple of the True Lord of Gechenlang City, he must already know the truth.
"Are you heading to Mondstadt this time?"
"Yes, Master."
"Give me the wings of wind I gave you."
Zhong Mo heard Mandrill's instructions and handed him the Wings of Wind that Mandrill had transformed last time.
"Although Mondstadt seems peaceful on the outside, there are actually undercurrents surging in the dark. The wind element of that country is very strong. I have strengthened these wind wings for you. You can use them briefly to gain the ability to fly."
Zhong Mo took the wings and asked Mandrill: "Master, when can I fly by myself?"
"When your elemental power reaches the [Combined] level, you become one with the elemental power, and when you can incarnate the element, you can use the elemental power as a driving force to fly."
After saying this, Mandrill looked at Xiangling again: "As a disciple of the True Monarch of Gechenlang City, I will give you this gift out of courtesy."
Mandrill took out a golden feather from his cave, which contained special power.
"Holy relic!" Xiangling looked at it in surprise.
"Is this for me?" When Mandrill nodded in agreement, Xiangling accepted the feather happily.
"Although this feather has not yet reached the five-star level, the power contained in it has surpassed the four-star level. Whether it can be sublimated in the future depends on your own belief."
After saying this, Mandrill finally said.
"That's all, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Dark green light flashed, and when the two of them looked again, Mandrill was gone.
"Master, he still comes and goes like the wind. Xiangling, let's go, I'll take you to try the food at Wangshu Inn. The taste is no worse than that at Wanmintang!"
