Chapter 318: Father Xie Was Hung On The Door
Due to the weather, their journey to the border pass took a full two months this time.
The road was too boring, and Qin Wanwan not only learned how to draw a second type of warmth talisman, but her calligraphy also improved quite a bit.
Yin Yuanli had already finished reading all the books he brought, and even wrote a travelogue himself, recording what he saw and heard along the way.
Yu Wuyou, on the other hand, developed several more convenient pills or powders for common ailments.
He even created an ointment to prevent chapped skin, which could be applied not only to hands and face but also to the lips.
The moisturizing effect was very good.
As they traveled, their skin became rosy and their lips were soft and moist.
Especially Qin Wanwan.
“It’s the New Year.”
The carriage entered Shahe City. Even though there was warfare, the commoners were hanging red lanterns and “Fu” characters on their doorways.
They even pasted portraits on their doors.
On the two doors, one had a human portrait and the other had a giant eagle.
Qin Wanwan took a quick look and found that the portrait was labeled “Tianqi Martial God Xie Chong.”
And on the other side was “Tianqi Eagle God.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes widened.
No, was that abstract painting of a burly figure with eyes like copper bells her Daddy?!
Her Daddy was such a good-looking person, how did he turn into this?!
Yu Wuyou saw it too and then laughed uncontrollably, his laughter shaking the carriage window.
Keke even rolled around laughing inside the carriage, tears streaming from his eyes.
Yin Yuanli peeked out: …
He couldn’t help but chuckle, “Although the painting… doesn’t resemble General Xie at all, being treated as a martial god by the people here shows General Xie’s status in their hearts.”
Qin Wanwan pouted, “Who drew it? It’s not as good-looking as my drawings.”
Yin Yuanli suppressed his laughter, “General Xie doesn’t look like that, but in the hearts of the people, he is mighty, with eyes as large as copper bells, and… he even has two extra hands. This way, it’s more intimidating, right?”
Xie Chong was skilled with many weapons, including bows and arrows, the red tassel spear, and a sword.
Perhaps to highlight his abilities, the martial god statue in the portrait had two extra hands, holding bows and arrows in two, a spear in one, and a treasure sword in the other.
What could Qin Wanwan say? This was the common people’s deep respect for Xie Chong.
But her Daddy’s appearance and reputation had been harmed.
The painting of the Eagle God was probably of Eagle Boss, also with exaggerated features. Besides its large size, its appearance was extremely ferocious and menacing.
Hmm… it looked like it could scare away any evildoer.
“Screech!”
Snowflake returned after wandering around the city, followed by a large one.
Eagle Boss’s cry echoed throughout Shahe City.
Even though they had seen it many times, whenever Eagle Boss flew over Shahe City, the people below would still look up, some even clasping their hands together and chanting prayers to the Eagle God.
Qin Wanwan: “We’ve only been gone for less than half a year? What happened?”
Eagle Boss was even being revered as the Eagle God by the people here?
Qin Wanwan opened the carriage window, her tender and delicate little face peeking out slightly, her clear and bright eyes looking up in the direction of Eagle Boss.
A shadow, as if blocking out the sun, fell. Qin Wanwan seemed to see a golden shimmer on Eagle Boss.
Keke exclaimed, “Good heavens, Eagle Boss has gathered quite a bit of faith!”
They came to the mortal world, and this might just cultivate a spiritual bird.
This mortal realm cannot be cultivated, of course, there are some special existences.
Like Xuan Ce.
If humans are like this, let alone animals.
Some animals are just a bit smarter.
But Eagle Boss now carried the power of faith. If it left this world, it could refine that faith and transform, evolving from an ordinary poultry into a spiritual bird.
And after becoming a spiritual bird, it could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.
Qin Wanwan gasped, “Then can we take Eagle Boss with us when we leave?”
Actually, if possible, Qin Wanwan also wanted to take these companions she had raised to the Heavenly Court.
However, ordinary animals couldn’t withstand the immortal spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court.
And she might be staying in the mortal world for a long time. Most animals have shorter lifespans and might die before Qin Wanwan and her fathers finish their tribulation and ascend.
So this matter could only be left to fate.
The current Eagle Boss had clearly given Wanwan a big surprise.
“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be possible.”
Eagle Boss’s massive body descended from the sky.
Compared to when Qin Wanwan left, Eagle Boss seemed to have grown larger again.
It was already a large Harpy Eagle to begin with. After being hatched by Qin Wanwan and growing by her side, it was already much larger than ordinary Harpy Eagles. Now, it had grown even larger, standing taller than Xie Chong.
A tall figure of 1.9 meters, and this was with its wings folded. With its wings spread, its size was even more imposing.
Such a large eagle, no wonder the commoners called it the Divine Eagle.
Their carriage also stopped.
At this moment, people around cast their gazes upon their group of carriages.
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know, why did the Divine Eagle land.”
Amidst the discussions, they saw a clean white small hand reach out from the carriage.
Then, their Divine Eagle slowly lowered its head and carefully rested its forehead on Qin Wanwan’s palm.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled with curved brows.
She said softly, “Eagle Boss, you’ve grown so big now.”
Eagle Boss gently rubbed its head against her palm.
Keke also hopped onto the carriage window. It was small, not even as big as Eagle Boss’s head.
But it was very talkative.
“Damn, this power of faith is really something. Eagle Boss, you’ve changed so much. You must have killed a lot of enemies with Xie Chong, and the common people even painted you on their doors as a guardian deity.
You’re the first to be worshipped as a god in your animal form throughout history in this world. It’s just that the painting of you is a bit ugly. How could such a majestic and handsome big eagle be painted like that? I suspect the person who painted it was targeting you and Xie Chong…”
Keke’s little mouth opened and he chattered nonstop.
Eagle Boss retreated a bit, Snowflake flew away, the little fox burrowed under the blanket, and Little Red irritably flicked its ears.
“Shut up.”
Yin Yuanli suddenly reached out and pinched its mouth.
Everyone and every beast then looked at him with appreciation.
Keke: ???
Why?!
Yin Yuanli: “You’re a bit too noisy.”
Keke glared at him, but being stared at by Yin Yuanli made it inexplicably nervous.
Moreover, it couldn’t see through this Crown Prince of Tianqi.
In this situation, either Yin Yuanli was an unknown bug, or it was also a heavenly god reincarnated to experience tribulation in this world.
And it was a heavenly god it couldn’t afford to provoke.
It had now recovered a lot of its memories about the Book of Fate of this world, but the records about Yin Yuanli in the Book of Fate were also very scarce.
In short, this person was also someone it couldn’t provoke.
