"I'll know after that night!" Ji Mingyuan said with a slight smile.

Of course she knows what she wants to ask.

How could she be so careful with her big personality? From time to time she would arrange the black veil to block the little horns, but she would still show it from time to time.

"Then you ......" Long Yao turned his head slightly, a little worried in his eyes.

"We're friends, aren't we?" Ji Mingyuan smiled.

"Friend?" Long Yao turned back and looked at him in surprise.

Ji Mingyuan's eyes cut water, his face was gentle and elegant, like a smile bathing in the spring breeze, which made people's hearts warm.

She didn't have any friends since she was a child, so she secretly ran out by herself this time, and her family didn't even know about it.

She wants to be free, she wants to play, she wants to see the outside world, she wants to make friends!

Friend?

The word was so familiar and unfamiliar to her heart, but it was as heavy as a boulder.

Only those who have truly been lonely and lonely can appreciate the meaning of this word.

She recalled that her mother once said, "You will find your own friends, friends who can be good for you, play with you, and make trouble with you!"

Long Yao, who was still young at that time, looked at his mother with big eyes and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Her mother gently held her in her arms, and gently stroked her, "Well, it's not about having many friends, it's good to ......be sincere enough."

The little Long Yao was lying in her mother's arms, her red little face widened with her big jewel-like eyes, and her starry eyes were full of anticipation......

"Hmm!" Long Yao said with a grin, slightly chubby and lifting a small dimple.

"This world is mixed, there are good people and bad people, don't let others know your identity, and don't trust others, my master said, be careful in life and work, and take precautions!" Ji Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Long Yao didn't understand.

Ji Mingyuan explained with a smile, "It means to be wary of people, no matter who it is! Just like I am to you, I have to be careful, for fear that you will eat all my food!"

"Go! where can I?" Long Yao pouted and refused to admit it, turning his head away from him, a little weak-hearted.

She is a fierce beast, she naturally eats a lot more than Ji Mingyuan, she is also hungry, she is much hungrier than Ji Mingyuan, all she always wants to rub Ji Mingyuan after she eats herself, and Ji Mingyuan will beware of her back and forth.

But fortunately, Ji Mingyuan is gentle and considerate, and will find enough food for her to fill her stomach, and he is willing to share his share of food with her.

"Let's go!" Ji Mingyuan said. helped her tie the black veil tightly, brushed her hair, and then rode forward with her on the golden lion.

The relationship between the three of them is also very good for half a month, life and death are shared, Ji Mingyuan can even kill it for the golden lion and not give it up.

Dogs can know how to repay their kindness, and the golden lion, a fierce beast with a strong bloodline, has already begun to develop its wisdom, how can it not understand? It is also much more well-behaved.

Ji Mingyuan put it in the crystal ball, and there was a space of ten zhang in the crystal ball, while the golden lion was only about five or six zhang, which was enough to put it in. In advance, Ji Mingyuan sternly reminded him not to disturb the things inside, otherwise he would be very angry and the consequences would be very serious.

There are his important ancient books and famous books, as well as the gifts given to him by the master, Uncle Bai and Sister Tianwan, how can it be lost? And he can sense the situation inside, if it dares to mess around, he will also pull it out and cramp and peel it regardless of the situation.

The golden lion nodded obediently and roared in a low voice.

Putting the golden lion into the crystal ball, Ji Mingyuan and Long Yao walked towards the city side by side.

Ji Mingyuan wondered, the long river that led him home was too far away, it had already exceeded thousands of miles, bubbling and flowing, and he didn't see the beginning, how did he fly thousands of miles to Luoqiu City back then?

It's useless to think too much, Ji Mingyuan began to observe!

He found that when he was close to the ancient city, he would run into some convoys.

A convoy of wagons headed towards the city, coming in the other direction.

Some are caravans, moving all kinds of materials, dressed plainly and unpretentiously, and there are bodyguards escorting with weapons in their hands, and the bodyguards are fierce and vicious, and their eyes are cold, so that people dare not approach.

Others seem to be hunters, transporting some fierce beast corpses to transport inside, the fierce beasts are too bleeding blood, dripping along the way, the smell of blood is full of blood, thick and pungent, it has just been hunted. The hunters were dressed simply, some or even just a piece of animal skin, or linen, revealing their bronzed skin, strong pectoral muscles, and all kinds of sharp weapons, which were enough to cut through the vital points of many fierce beasts.

"Why did they take these corpses with them?" Long Yao said as he looked at the Orions with wide eyes and curiosity.

"The fierce beast is full of treasures, the powerful bloodline is pure, the flesh and blood can be eaten, and the body can also be exercised, and the inheritance runes flowing in its blood can be perceived, and even the treasures, tactics, and bones of its most primitive and powerful fierce beasts are also possible!"

"It's worth a good price if you sell it!" Ji Mingyuan explained.

If they can hunt and kill a fierce beast with a strong bloodline and sell it to those famous families, they may not have to live this kind of life of licking blood on the tip of the knife for most of the year, they can drink a little wine leisurely, go back to have a meal with their family at night, and sleep leisurely at night to accompany their wives to do something earth-shattering.

"Uh...... You humans are so cruel!" Long Yao whispered.

Killing people and eating their flesh and blood, digging up bones and marrow, I just want to blow up and eat other people's bones, cruel to the extreme, no different from a fierce beast, just wearing a human skin. Thinking about it, Long Yao couldn't help but think about herself, thinking that she trembled and tugged at Ji Mingyuan's clothes.

Humans and beasts hunt each other, and who's to say who is right?

"So, be careful! From time to time, everyone in this world is like me!" Ji Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Narcissism!" Long Yao pouted, although she didn't know what Huai Jin meant by holding Yu, but this guy must be narcissistic, and bullied himself for not being literate, but he still refused to let go, still tugging at his clothes, and was a little jealous of the people next to him.

"Why are you dragging my clothes?" Ji Mingyuan Ji Mingyuan looked at her meaningfully.

"Sister protect you!" Long Yao raised his little chin and shouted, but he still didn't let go of his clothes, and leaned towards him from time to time.

It is said that nine times out of ten, human beings are weak and vulnerable, but how does she feel that these are more fierce than the big insects guarding the door at home?

Ji Mingyuan smiled, slowed down, and strolled forward.

Forward, close to the city gate, Ji Mingyuan looked up at the city wall.

The walls are tall, majestic, heavy as mountains, and immobile as mountains. Dozens of feet of walls are rooted in the earth like ancient trees in the ancient forest.

Looking at this ancient city, Ji Mingyuan inexplicably returned to Autumn City!

It had been nearly a month since he said goodbye that day, and he never thought that he would walk so far and never return home, which also shocked him, how did he survive being washed away for so long?

"What are you doing?" Long Yao urged.

She found that whenever someone passed by them, she would always look at them with disgust, and some would look at them with a sneer, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go!" Ji Mingyuan retracted his mind.

Ji Mingyuan ignored those strange eyes and strolled forward.

Those eyes were darkness, shadows, and memories to him, and those sneering faces were as disgusting as ever, and there was no need to pay attention to them.

The attic inside is large, quaint, and exudes the breath of time!

In broad daylight, there is a large flow of people, and the streets are wide enough to accommodate so many people, and they don't feel crowded.

"Where are we going?" Long Yao said.

She usually has a big grin, but now she is still a little timid and afraid of life!

The avenue was bustling, and there were too many people around, so she carefully tugged at Ji Mingyuan's clothes and hid behind him.

"Change some money, take you for a change of clothes, and take you to buy something delicious." Ji Mingyuan smiled softly, gently stroked her head, and signaled that she was fine.

"Hmm!" Long Yao nodded obediently, her big eyes filled with anticipation.

Ji Mingyuan smiled, Long Yao felt people's disgusted and disgusted gaze for the first time, his eyes were blazing, and it was inevitable that people would be flustered. What she needs is confidence and peace of mind, and there is distraction, all Ji Mingyuan told her to eat delicious, and sure enough, Long Yao didn't care about other people's eyes, and followed Ji Mingyuan with a smile.

Ji Mingyuan smiled, and after several tosses, Ji Mingyuan finally stopped.

"Where is this?" Long Yao was shocked.

Surrounded by a huge slaughter field, there were knives slashed on the cutting board, and a large pile of fierce beast corpses lay on the huge cutting board.

Some of the cubs were hideous, but the butchers were unwavering, and they were blown away by the iron cages with rune prohibitions, or the bans burned them, and white smoke rose from them, and they curled together in pain, and their wounds became pitch black, red and swollen.

Some well-behaved spirit beasts were slaughtered, and the mournful whisper could not be exchanged for the butcher's mercy, and they were cut down with a single knife, and their heads rolled out, and all kinds of brilliant blood splashed.

The air was filled with the terrifying smell of blood, which had accumulated over many years, and it was indelible and difficult to dissipate, because the smell of blood had just dissipated that day, and the smell of blood the next day began to diffuse again.

The mile-long street was full of slaughterhouses, blood splattered from time to time, and the hoarse roars of fierce beast cubs could be heard everywhere, as well as the wails of weak fierce beasts and spirit beasts.

"They are so scared, so painful!" Long Yao said in a trembling voice, his voice full of timidity, horror, and endless sadness.

She is also a fierce beast, she can understand the beast language, how sad those wails are, the sound of begging for mercy echoes in her ears, but those who hold butcher knives in their hands are deaf, or laugh or indifferently carry the butcher knife and cut it down, cruel to the extreme.

"......" Ji Mingyuan had mixed feelings.

Although he had been prepared, he was still shocked, he followed the blood dripping from the beast on the Orion all the way, he collected some things and wanted to exchange them for some money, he had expected to encounter this scene, but he never thought it would be so bloody and cruel.

He couldn't tell who was a beast and who was a human!

Cold, violent, and unsympathetic, the indifference made Ji Mingyuan's heart cold.

"Human nature is inherently good......" Ji Mingyuan said silently, comforting himself.

"I ......" Ji Mingyuan looked back at Long Yao, but found that she was stunned.

Ji Mingyuan followed her gaze and found that the ......
