Chapter 212 Provocation
"Huh?" Nan Qiao turned around and looked at him in surprise, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Fang Xuyao turned away a little embarrassedly, his eyes wandering, and his voice was a little low, "What if you don't hold on tight and fall? I promised General Wang that I would take good care of you."
Nan Qiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart after hearing Fang Xuyao's words, but she deliberately teased him: "You are the only one who has so many excuses."
Although he said this, he didn't try to break free.
When the carousel slowly stopped, Fang Xuyao was still immersed in that brief warmth and sweetness.
The two of them walked down the carousel. Nan Qiao raised her head slightly, gazing at the deepening dusk on the horizon, and said softly, "It's getting late today. I have to go back. I have some important matters waiting for me to take care of."
A trace of reluctance flashed in Fang Xuyao's eyes, and his lips moved slightly, but he just silently sent Nan Qiao to Lin Yue's car.
As soon as Nan Qiao stepped into the door of the Special Bureau, Zhao Gang came to greet her, his eyes full of anticipation: "Miss Nan Qiao, how did you gain from this trip to the other world?"
Nan Qiao raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a confident smile: "Uncle Zhao Gang, we have a rich harvest. Everything is in my spirit storage bag, but it is not convenient to take it out in the Special Bureau. Let's go to the immortal cultivation base in Lingyu Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang immediately said, "Okay, I'll send someone to prepare it."
Nan Qiao immediately stopped him and said with a smile, "Don't bother with that. I'm about to start school and time is tight. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back and forth in time."
"I'll take you there directly with my flying sword."
After saying that, Nan Qiao summoned a flying sword, and the sword body flashed with a sharp cold light.
The three of them stepped onto the flying sword. Nan Qiao lightly made a hand gesture and the flying sword instantly rose into the air, like a streak of light across the sky.
The journey that would normally take several days by car was completed in just a few moments by the high-speed flying sword, and Nan Qiao had them land safely outside the gate of the Lingyu Mountain Immortal Cultivation Base.
As soon as the three of them landed on the ground, Nan Qiao closed his eyes and concentrated, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something.
A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, let out a low cry, and turned the soul storage bag upside down. A blinding light flashed, and a white Bai Ze, with a single horn like a sword, leaped out first.
Bai Ze has an elegant figure, and the horn on his forehead shines with mysterious rune light. His eyes are like deep lake water, as if he can see through all the mysteries of the world.
"What is this?" Lin Yue was surprised. "It's so beautiful."
Zhao Gang looked carefully and clapped his hands quickly, "Bai Ze is the mythical beast Bai Ze! I've seen it before in ancient books and the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Immediately afterwards, a Kuiniu that looked like a cow but was not a cow and roared like thunder stepped into the air.
The Kuiniu is huge in size and exudes a violent aura. With every step it takes, the ground trembles slightly. Its single eye is like a burning flame, full of primitive power.
Then, a red mermaid with three heads and six tails slowly emerged.
Its three faces showed different expressions, some cunning, some majestic, and some gentle. Its six fish tails swayed gently in the air, and the scales on its body were as red as fire, as if they were dyed with blood.
……
One after another strange beasts walked out of the spirit storage bag, and Zhao Gang and Lin Yue were so shocked that they were speechless.
Just when Zhao Gang and Lin Yue thought it was gone, the sky suddenly changed color.
Green auspicious clouds rose in the east, and a huge green dragon coiled out. Its body was like a towering mountain, and its scales sparkled with emerald green light in the sunlight. Its dragon whiskers fluttered, as if they could stir up the wind and clouds of heaven and earth.
From the west, a white tiger came majestically stepping into the air. Its fur was as white as snow, and the black stripes on it were like mysterious spells. Its eyes were wide open, emitting a terrifying murderous light.
In the south, the Vermilion Bird let out a long cry, and flames rose around its body. Its feathers were like the burning sunset, brilliant and dazzling, and each feather seemed to be condensed from pure flames.
In the north, Xuanwu slowly emerged. Ancient runes were engraved on its huge shell. Its snake head was raised high, its tongue sticking out, and a heavy breath spread out.
Zhao Gang's eyes widened, his voice trembling unconsciously: "This... are these really the four legendary beasts? Miss Nan Qiao, how did you do it?"
Lin Yue also covered his mouth, and after a long while he stammered, "Azure Dragon? Vermillion Bird? So this is what they really look like! Oh my god, we can actually see the four great beasts appear in the world with our own eyes!"
The monks in the surrounding bamboo houses were attracted by the huge movement and came out one after another.
Luo Yu's face was filled with astonishment. He pointed at the four divine beasts in the sky and shouted, "That's the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise! Oh my God, am I dreaming?"
"Are those really the four legendary divine beasts? Am I seeing things?" Luo Yao covered her mouth in surprise.
"I knew it. The story about the four divine beasts in our Flower Country is true. I wonder how the Muzi Country can still say that the divine beasts are theirs. Hahaha..." Li Hao put his hands on his waist and smiled brightly.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "That's right, this time it's time to give Mu Ziguo a good slap in the face."
……
Colonel Zhang hurried over after hearing the noise at the door. When he saw the various strange beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the four majestic divine beasts, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of shock and astonishment.
He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Nan Qiao briefly recounted his adventures in the primeval forest.
It turned out that she accidentally discovered this mysterious area in the primeval forest, where there were all kinds of strange beasts from the Shanhaijing that only existed in legends, and she even encountered a divine beast.
With her own abilities and coincidences, she successfully subdued these exotic and mythical beasts and brought them back.
After hearing this, Colonel Zhang couldn't help but show his joy and said loudly, "Great! With these mythical beasts, let's see how the Muzi Kingdom can still be so arrogant."
"They actually want to apply for Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise to become their country's intangible cultural heritage. This is absolutely ridiculous!"
Nan Qiao heard this and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Muzi Country? Intangible Cultural Heritage? What on earth is going on?"
Lin Yue interjected, "You haven't been online for the past two days since you came back. Two major events have happened recently."
"First, the founding hero, General Wang, passed away, and the entire country was immersed in grief. Second, the Muzi Kingdom was so ignorant that they even attempted to apply for the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise to be listed as their country's intangible cultural heritage for cultural promotion."
"This is a cultural treasure that our nation has passed down for thousands of years. How dare they do such a thing!"
"When netizens heard this, they were all filled with righteous indignation and accused Mu Ziguo of unreasonable behavior, but he was shameless and insisted on applying."
"Netizens from their country even provocatively asked us, 'Do you have any proof that the Four Divine Beasts are yours?' If you don't have proof, then stop talking nonsense."
