Chapter 204: Magic Continent Preparing to Return
Two months later.
Sang Jing Wen and Xiao Yi Fei walked out of the magic cultivation array one after another. However, when they saw Mu Xue’s magic array shaking non-stop, with light beams like spiderwebs, appearing as if it would shatter at any moment, they looked anxiously at Lu Min Feng, who had been guarding by the side for an unknown amount of time.
“Min Feng, why does Xiao Xue’s magic array look like this?”
Looking at Sang Jing Wen, Lu Min Feng said worriedly, “When I came out of seclusion, Xiao Xue’s formation patterns were already like this, even more so than those spiderwebs back then. Sang Chu said it might be because Xiao Xue encountered something during her cultivation. We can’t help, we can only wait for her to wake up on her own, or for the formation to completely shatter.”
Xiao Yi Fei: “But this clearly isn’t right. Did Sister really say it’s okay?”
“It was Xue You who said it. He said the cultivation array has a protective function, and even if one self-harms within the array, they will be unharmed. It’s just the state of mind that might have issues, but it can be adjusted afterward.”
Sang Jing Wen: “That’s good. How much time is left before we leave?”
“About a few more days. During this time, A Chu has been arranging for people to enter Rose Town to buy things. Many things like magic books, formation stones, and magic beasts have been prepared. Once we enter Rose Town, everyone will find a place to rest well for a few days, and then we can leave when the train arrives.”
Xiao Yi Fei looked at Mu Xue, who had not yet emerged: “What about Xiao Xue’er? She can’t possibly wake up immediately in this condition, right?”
Lu Min Feng: “A Chu said that if Xiao Xue hasn’t woken up by the time we prepare to enter Rose Town, she will be placed in the hovercar and brought back to the Apocalypse. However, the price will be higher this way. Therefore, during this period, A Chu has been taking Hellhounds to hunt in the wilderness.”
“Alright then, I’ll help too. It’s a good chance to practice with Little Fire Dragon!”
Sang Jing Wen looked at the excited Xiao Yi Fei and held his hand: “Wait, I’ll go with you. Min Feng, don’t worry, Xiao Xue will be fine. I’m going with A Yi to help Sang Sang hunt.”
“Okay, I’ll stay here and guard her.”
After Sang Jing Wen patted his shoulder, he and Xiao Yi Fei walked out of the carriage together.
“What the heck! What are all these!!!”
Xiao Yi Fei’s eyes widened as he looked at the mountains of magic beasts!
“These are all things we and A Chu have hunted during this time. Later, we will divide into several groups to enter the town and sell them.”
Xi Rui answered Xiao Yi Fei’s question while organizing the prey. He walked up to Xi Rui and looked at the magic beasts with arrows piercing their chests: “Tsk tsk tsk, you’re really amazing, one arrow per beast!”
“Get away from me!”
Xi Rui picked up a magic beast from the side and pushed Xiao Yi Fei away. At this moment, Meng Wei An, Yu Fei, and Liao Tian came over from not far away, carrying some wolf-like magic beasts with Sang Chu.
Sang Jing Wen quickly ran over to help Sang Chu carry them: “Sang Sang, did you go hunting?”
“Yes, there have been many wolf demons appearing recently, and the bounty in Rose Town is very high, so I brought people. Ri Peng and Nai Shen are behind, and Shi Feng and the others are all helping to carry these wolf demons.”
Seeing Sang Chu approach, Xiao Yi Fei curiously pointed at Xi Rui: “Sister, what is Xi Rui doing?”
“She’s skinning them. Xue You said that wolf demon hides are the best material for making magic arrays, as are their blood and bones. So, Xi Rui is selecting some older ones to take their hides and fur, and also stripping some bones for later use. These are all things needed for refining equipment.”
After hearing this, Xiao Yi Fei got goosebumps all over: “Ugh, it’s a bit scary. I’m not looking anymore, not looking. I’ll go help you move them all over.”
As he was about to run over, he suddenly realized something was wrong: “Sister, don’t you have a storage ring? Why are you carrying them one by one?”
Sang Chu smiled and said, “You’ll know when you try carrying them.”
“Alright!”
Xiao Yi Fei rushed out without thinking much, his youthful, hot-blooded, chuunibyo demeanor making Sang Jing Wen laugh successfully: “I hope he can still laugh later!”
Seeing Sang Jing Wen standing still for a long time, Sang Chu walked forward with a smile and took the wolf demon from him: “Brother, I’ve been carrying this for a while and am used to its weight. You might not be used to it yet. I’ll take this one myself. You go carry some smaller ones first, and you’ll experience its benefits tonight if you practice more.”
Sang Chu made carrying the wolf demon look effortless, but after only holding it for a short while, his hands were already trembling.
“Sang Sang, this thing looks very good. Are you really going to use it to do business with Royalty? Won’t you be at a disadvantage!”
“Brother, don’t worry, you won’t be. After selling these, we’ll have saved a large sum of money. Then, if you all want, I can continue to take you on interdimensional travels, but to slightly safer worlds.”
Coming to the Magic Continent was because she needed to heal the zombie poison on her body. This place was truly dangerous. If it weren’t for Qin Si Mian, that cunning merchant, kindly lending the whip to Tu You, she would have been in trouble this time.
Sang Jing Wen: “You decide. I’ll listen to you. Then I’ll go help you move all these wolf demons now.”
“My heavens, this is the first time I’ve seen so many vibrant flowers on the Magic Continent!”
Rose Manor is where roses are cultivated in Rose Town, and it is also similar to a royal garden.
This is also the boarding location. The entrance to the manor is a stone gate carved with exquisite rose patterns, flanked by towering stone pillars, with vibrant roses climbing up and blooming.
Inside the manor, all the outer walls are covered with blooming roses. From a distance, the buildings look like tourists who have wandered into a sea of flowers.
Xi Rui: “A Chu, I’ll go knock on the door.”
Sang Chu shook her head: “Since it’s a special boarding location, I’ll go.”
She took a step forward, and the large door opened. Standing inside was a man in a white tailcoat. His long hair was half-tied at the back of his head, with stray strands of hair lazily falling on his forehead, exuding nobility and elegance.
This man looked like a noble gentleman, with a calm expression, yet he looked at them very politely.
“Esteemed guests, please come in. The master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Sang Chu looked at the gentle and elegant man before her and smiled: “Then please lead the way, sir.”
“Please.”
The group followed Roger towards the main building.
The winding path on both sides was planted with roses. Under the sunlight, small flower elves hid among the flowers, dancing gracefully. They occasionally glanced at the people on the road, stopping to cast curious glances.
After passing through the sea of roses, they finally saw the entrance to the castle.
“Welcome, everyone. I am the owner of Rose Manor, Rose.”
The castle gate opened, and inside stood a woman in a white court dress. Her skin was so pale it seemed devoid of blood. Her waist-length white hair cascaded softly behind her. Her face was covered with a white veil, making her look somewhat mysterious.
