Chapter Eighty-Three: The Proving Ground 3
"City Lord! Are you interrogating me? What crime have I committed? What is the evidence? Zeng Xiao said angrily: "I don't think there is any rudeness!" But you locked me in my room for days on end, and I didn't eat or drink! Excuse me, is this your hospitality? ”
"What's going on?" The city lord of Shenyue looked at the female guard.
The female guard was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a "plop": "The city lord is angry!" We just wanted to help Miss Heather out......"
"Helping Heather out?" Zeng Xiao sneered: "I saved Heather, you are angry, so you want Heather to die?" Or are you actually from Lorenna's family? ”
"No, no, no!" The female guard kowtowed a few times, suddenly reacted, and said viciously to Zeng Xiao: "It's you!" It was you who hurt Miss Heather for ulterior purposes! ”
"Enough!" The city lord of Shenyue shouted: "Go down yourself and get twenty whips!" ”
"City Lord......" The female guard's eyes widened, she had followed the city lord since she was a child, and later became the only female guard by his side, and thought that she was different to him......
She got up, staring at Zeng Xiao's eyes almost with poison!
Just when Zeng Xiao thought she would pounce, she turned her head and went out!
"Ahem, cough~" The city lord of Shenyue coughed a few times, and the attendant hurriedly served a cup of hot water, he took two sips and put it aside, calming down a little: "Heather told me, she believes in you very much!" However, this is a time of crisis for Stasis Phantom City, and anyone who has any doubts should ask clearly! Thank you for your understanding! ”
The attendant moved a cushioned chair to her side!
Zeng Xiao patted his robe and sat down: "You ask!" I'm sure I know it all! ”
In fact, the city lord of Shenyue didn't suspect her from the beginning, if she really had doubts, it wouldn't be the city lord himself who was questioning!
The city lord pinched his brow tiredly: "Where are you from?" ”
Zeng Xiao thought about it for a moment: "I promise that what I said is the truth, although it may seem a little unbelievable to you!" ”
The city lord of Shenyue nodded!
"I'm from another world, and I want to find a world with wind and snow to cultivate, so I came here!"
"Another world?" The city lord raised his eyebrows: "It's really unbelievable!" …… What evidence is there? ”
"I don't know much about your world, so I don't know what counts as evidence?" Zeng Xiao was embarrassed and said: "Actually, I'm just here to borrow a place to cultivate, it won't have any impact on you, if you don't believe it, I'll go out of the city!" ”
The city lord of Shenyue looked at her fixedly: "Since you saved Heather, it has already affected some people, even if you leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to go far!" ”
What do you mean? Could someone have killed her to vent her anger?
"Of course, Heather is back alive, and we are all very grateful to you!" The city lord's expression relaxed a little: "I believe what you said, although I am curious about your world, but you don't want to say it, I also respect your wishes!"
From now on, I guarantee your safety in my territory, and I'll give you another house to stay here for as long as you want!" You see...... Need anything else? ”
The big guy took the initiative to stretch his legs over, and he didn't hurry up and hug it!
"There are two problems!" Zeng Xiao compared with his hand: "Is there any place around here, where no one is disturbed and there is no danger, and there is a blizzard?" And one more is...... If I hunt three level 7 snow beasts, can I be given a Warrior Medal? ”
The City Lord of Shenyue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course you can, as long as you bring three seventh-level snow beast cores that you hunted, I will award you the Warrior Medal!" As for the first question......"
He thought for a moment: "Not far from the north gate, there is a retreat slope, which was left from the battle with the snow beasts a long time ago, and there are no snow beasts there, as for the people...... I'll just ban it! What do you think? ”
"Then thank you to the city lord!" Zeng Xiao thanked him with a smile, and felt a little relieved!
She doesn't want to take care of all these messes in the city, of course, she can't manage them if she wants to!
As long as it can make her cultivate with peace of mind for seven or eight years!
She can only stay for eight years at most, and in reality it will be almost two months, and there will be a lot of things waiting for her over there!
In the next two days, Zeng Xiao first went to visit Heather, and then walked around the city, and by the way, he learned some basic common sense of this world!
For example, snow beasts are not born by mothers, but evolved from different snow spirits in the snowy region, and after death, they will dissipate into heaven and earth!
Snow beasts can become human contract beasts under the constraints of the contract, transmit life force to the master, and fight side by side with the master!
For another example, the cultivation of "qi" in this world is also "qi", but this "qi" is completely different from the "five elements qi" that Zeng Xiao cultivated!
The fighting qi here is a bit similar to physical cultivation, but when the cultivation reaches a certain level, it can also attract the qi of heaven and earth into the body!
The fighting spirit cultivated by ordinary people is the same, only a very few people, in some special circumstances, can stimulate mutated fighting qi!
Like the city lord of Shenyue, he is a mutant fighting king with a combat effect bonus!
……
By the time Zeng Xiao stood in front of the retreating beast slope, it was already the third day!
The entire retreat slope covered by the blizzard is all under her name, and it belongs to a private forbidden land!
The small courtyard built according to her wishes is on a flat land sheltered from the wind and sun at the bottom of the slope!
The small courtyard is fully furnished, and the storage room is full of food!
The city lord of Shenyue arranged a maid to take care of her daily life, which was both care and surveillance, which Zeng Xiao knew well!
But she doesn't have any secrets, and it's nice to have someone to take care of!
Zeng Xiao happily took a deep breath of cold air, if nothing else, this would be her home for the next eight years!
The process of cultivation was boring, but when she thought about the crisis she would face in four months in reality, she wished that time could slow down and slow down!
The blizzard on the retreating beast slope has hardly stopped day after day, but the cultivators on the slope are gradually growing!
From being covered by snow as soon as he appeared, to being able to use aura to isolate the wind and snow an inch away from the surface of the body!
From only condensing the ice sword and swinging the true sword technique over and over again in a regular manner, to the snow beast that can flexibly kill the three or four levels outside the retreating beast slope!
From only condensing water into clumps, to using the surrounding environment to create your own spells such as snow mist, local snowspouts, suffocating water masses, ice spikes, and more!
More than two years have passed, Zeng Xiao has been promoted from the fourth level of Qi training to the Great Perfection of Qi training, and he is only one foot away from stepping into the ranks of foundation building monks!
But this last kick always feels like something is missing!
After practicing for a few more days, he still couldn't do it, Zeng Xiao stopped!
Is it a mood problem?
Perhaps, it's time to head into town!
The inheritance of the alchemy refining talisman array has been stored in her mind for a few years, and she can also take this opportunity to see which way she is suitable for development!
Tell the maid that she went down the mountain for the first time in more than two years!
With the improvement of her cultivation, Feiyan's footwork has been perfected, but in a moment, she arrived at the North City Gate!
Although she hasn't been in the city in the past few years, she is unknown to everyone in Stasis Phantom City!
There are often people secretly peeping around the retreating beast slope, except for those with bad intentions, the people in the city seem to regard this place as a tourist attraction, she doesn't care, as long as it doesn't affect her cultivation!
Nodding with the stunned soldiers guarding the city, Zeng Xiao walked slowly and leisurely, and before she could reach the center of the city, the news that the owner of the retreating beast slope had gone down the mountain had spread throughout the city!
