This road was very tortuous, because Jiuwu Mountain was not easy to find and was surrounded by many barriers and secret realms. Ling Xuewei and the others also wandered around for nearly a day, taking many detours and twists and turns before finally reaching their destination.
"That's it."
Ling Xuewei looked around and saw a thick black mist, blocking all her sight. She couldn't see what was inside. Even the air was gloomy.
"Xiao Shan, go back."
Having arrived at her destination, she went in alone.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are waiting for you outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shan ducked into the darkness.
Seeing this, Ling Xuewei was helpless, but without saying another word, she slowly walked into the black mist.
Black mist filled the air, and the cold breath penetrated directly into the cloak. Ling Xuewei put up a spiritual shield, walked away for about a stick of incense, and her vision finally broadened.
What you see is a forest as dark as ink.
It's like a fire burning through it, black, desolate, and gloomy.
A few faint calls of crows and corpse doves were heard, along with the roars of unknown beasts.
At this time, there was a rustling sound in the distance, and monster beasts had already smelled the scent of prey and were rushing towards us.
Ling Xuewei closed her eyes, and her spiritual consciousness peeked out.
One, two, three, four... very good, they came at the right time.
Then let’s get started!
****
One month later.
Snowy mountains.
"No news from Ling Yatou?"
Yin Yan came over and Ye Xiutian shook his head, his brows filled with worry.
This is the first time in such a long time that there is no news from Ling Yatou, not even any news about safety.
"Where's the secret guard?"
Ye Xiutian shook his head.
The two were silent.
At this time, a small figure ran from behind, "Grandpa Zu!"
The two of them silenced their voices at the same time, turned around, and showed kind smiles.
"Mianmianlala!"
The little guy fell into the arms of the two of them, and his soft and waxy little breasts sounded, "Grandpa! Has mother come back?"
Ye Xiutian sighed. In the past two days, when the little guy saw them, he asked if his mother was back and when she would be back.
"Not yet, Mianmian misses my mother's kiss?"
"Um."
The little girl's eyes quickly dimmed, and the two of them felt quite distressed.
Yin Yan knelt down and said, "Mianmian, Grandpa Grandpa, will you take you to play in the back mountain? Didn't you say two days ago that you wanted to see your little squirrel?"
Mianmian shook her little head.
Ye Xiutian followed and said, "Why don't you go down the mountain with Grandpa Taizu to play? I heard that there will be a lively lantern festival at the bottom of the mountain recently. Can Grandpa Taizu take you there?"
The little guy still shook his head.
The two looked at each other.
"So Mianmian, where do you want to go? Or what do you want to do? Tell the grandpas, okay?"
The little guy pursed his lips, but in the end said nothing, turned around and ran away.
"Hey Mianmian..."
"I'll go take a look."
Ye Xiutian pulled Yin Yan and sighed, "This little girl is sad. I'll go and persuade him."
Yin Yan nodded, but the worry in his eyebrows did not disappear.
Ye Xiutian came to Xuesongmeiju, the little guy's room.
Everywhere in the room is pink and tender. This was specially decorated by Ling Xuewei for little Mianmian. The pink curtains, pink carpets, and pink princess bed are the little girl's favorite.
There are countless toys piled on the carpet, most of which were given to her by everyone during her birthday party, and also on the bed, but her favorite is the pink piglet her mother made for her.
It is fluffy, with a blue hat and a blue bow. It has a chubby body, is cute and soft to the touch. It has become a habit to hug Mianmian every time he sleeps.
Ye Xiutian knocked on the door and came in. The little girl was sitting in the corner, with her back to him, holding the pink piggy in her arms, wiping tears every now and then.
Ye Xiutian's heart twitched when he saw his little body flexing.
"Mianmian..."
When the little girl heard the voice, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face and turned around, "Grandpa Taizu..."
Her fair little face was red and stained with tears, her big round black grape eyes were especially tearful, and her childish voice was aggrieved and pitiful.
Ye Xiutian felt extremely distressed after seeing it.
"Mianmian, come to Grandpa Taizu's place."
Mianmian hugged the little pig and walked over. Ye Xiutian wiped the tears on her face, "Mianmian misses your mother?"
The little guy nodded his head.
"Grandpa, mother hasn't been back to see Mianmian for a long time. Did something happen to her?"
The little guy is very keen on certain things. Ye Xiutian paused and rubbed her head, "No, your mother is very good. It's just that she was delayed due to some things. She will come back to see Mianmian soon."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"But Mianmian wants to see my mother now..."
The little guy's eyes were so red it made people's hearts melt.
"Mianmian, I believe your mother feels the same way. She also hopes to come back as soon as possible and see Mianmian. It's just that your mother has her own things to do and she works very hard, so you have to understand her and don't blame her, okay?
"
"Mianmian knows! Mom works so hard just so that she can take Mianmian to heaven to meet her father and brother as soon as possible, right?"
Ye Xiutian was surprised, "Did your mother tell you?"
"Yeah, so Mianmian won't blame mother. Mianmian will wait for mother to come back."
Ye Xiutian's heart instantly softened into a complete mess.
Their little Mianmian is so considerate, how can they be so well-behaved!
"Grandpa Taizu will wait with you, okay? Let's wash our faces first and then eat something. Grandpa Taizu will make your favorite pudding cake, okay?"
"Um……"
The soft little milky sound made Ye Xiutian wish to give all the good things in the world to the little guy.
now.
Jiuwu Mountain.
Xiao Shan was waiting outside anxiously. If Ling Xuewei hadn't given the order in advance, he might have broken in long ago.
It had been a whole month, but Ling Xuewei still hadn't come out. There was no news for so long, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more serious.
At this time, he noticed someone approaching, and soon a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Is it you?"
The person who came was none other than Di Jian.
The two people who were alert at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
"How could your Excellency..."
"Where is Xiaoweier?"
The two spoke at the same time, Xiaoshan shook his head, "The queen hasn't come out yet."
"It's been more than a month and there's still no movement? Are you just standing here stupidly?" Di Jian said and was about to rush in.
"etc……"
At this moment, a blue light suddenly appeared from the black air.
"That light...could it be..."
The two were surprised and then overjoyed.
The air was turbulent, as the blue light grew stronger and stronger, covering almost half of the sky.
Even the black energy was dissipated, revealing the jagged, desolate and gloomy scene of Jiuwu Mountain.
"roar--!"
A beast roared with murderous intent.
In the sky, a huge shadow of a vast beast appeared from ancient times. (To be continued)
