Chapter 619: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 619: Poison Dispersion and the Terrifying Space Upgrade (1)
Xiao Ruiyuan, worried about his cousin and holding the girl he liked, didn't have any romantic thoughts. He didn't notice the internal conflict of the person in his arms either. Seeing that Mo Yan had finally stopped vomiting, but looked somewhat fatigued, he held her a little tighter, concerned that she might feel cold.
Mo Yan didn't feel cold, but with her stomach empty, she indeed felt weak! Watching the golden beast move at such speed, she ultimately resisted the urge to climb onto it. It wasn't that she was afraid of falling off, but rather that the golden beast might hold back for her sake, which would slow them down and unnecessarily waste time.
The next forty miles went without further incident, and the two arrived safely at the south gate, riding together.
In her current state, Xiao Ruiyuan was not at ease letting Mo Yan go alone into the mountains to pick the black lingze. He insisted on accompanying her.
Mo Yan, of course, refused firmly. Seeing that he wouldn't listen, she swiftly mounted the golden beast. Before Xiao Ruiyuan could stop her, the golden beast carried Mo Yan away at an astonishing speed, disappearing from sight.
The four beasts ignored Xiao Ruiyuan and the others' shock, racing ahead. At their speed, even the finest horses couldn't keep up, let alone catch the golden beast.
Xiao Ruiyuan, his usually cold eyes now showing clear shock, realized that the golden beast had been holding back all along.
The shadow guards, too, were awed by yet another terrifying aspect of the golden beast. With a mount that fast, even if they encountered dangers they couldn't handle, they could easily escape.
Recalling the gruesome scene of the mountain bandits being attacked by the snakes under the red python's command, the shadow guards developed a newfound respect for Mo Yan. The ability to command beasts is impressive enough, but for a young girl to train them so well, even if she isn't a martial arts expert herself, she's far superior to many true martial arts masters!
Still, Xiao Ruiyuan wasn't reassured. He dispatched twenty shadow guards to follow and protect her, while he led the remaining thirty east towards the Jing Mountain Villa.
The twenty shadow guards didn't dare slack off, urging their horses in pursuit of Mo Yan. However, after chasing for a long time, they still couldn't catch up.
The shadow guards, not knowing the exact direction of Liuyang Village, knocked on the door of a farmhouse. A middle-aged man, trembling with fear, directed them to the village. By the time they arrived, Mo Yan had already "picked" the black lingze and was heading back to the south gate.
In the Mo family front hall, except for the youngest, Yun Sheng, who had gone to bed, everyone else was present.
Mo Qingze, anxious because his daughter hadn't returned from the mountains, was about to gather some strong men from the village to search for her when the bell in the courtyard rang.
Before he could answer the door, the equally anxious Xin'er, unable to sleep, ran ahead of her father and Aunt Li Xiugu, and opened the courtyard gate. There, standing outside, was her sister, who had been gone all day.
Mo Yan led the five beasts into the courtyard and closed the gate. Xin'er grabbed her arm, pouting, and said, "Sis, why did you come back so late? We were worried sick! Dad was about to go into the mountains to look for you!"
Mo Yan didn't have the courage to tell her family what she had been doing today and didn't want to scare them. She patted her sister's head and came up with a plausible excuse: "I went a bit further today and found some good stuff. I lost track of time, so I came back late. It's my fault for making you worry!"
Xin'er, concerned about her sister's safety, wasn't really blaming her. Seeing her sister sincerely apologizing, she magnanimously forgave her mistake: "Alright, I'll let it go this time. But you can't do this again. Even with the five beasts, we'll still worry if you come back so late!"
