Half a day later, in the Bear Hug Clan's royal court...
In Wu Wang's tent, colorful lights were shining. Ji Mo sat on a colorful lotus platform, meditating and healing his hidden injuries to prevent them from affecting his future path to immortality.
As the host of this place, Wu Wang continued to enjoy the rare tranquility after the not-so-intense battle, holding a humorous book borrowed from Ji Mo and reading it carefully.
The book was similar to the Human Realm's geographical records.
It was not Ji Mo's exclusive geographical record, but a normal and serious one that recorded the geography of mountains, rivers, cities, and sects.
This disappointed Wu Wang and lowered his professional evaluation of Ji Mo by one star. He thought that the books on Ji Mo's body would be something interesting...
The conversation with his mother earlier still echoed in Wu Wang's heart. He asked his mother why he had to save Ling Xiaolan, and his mother's excuse was too far-fetched - to maintain a good relationship between the clan and the Human Realm, to sell a favor to the Human Realm.
Based on Wu Wang's understanding of his mother, things were definitely not that simple. But if his mother didn't say anything, he couldn't ask more.
What bad intentions could his mother have? She just wanted to better protect the North Wilderness, family, and clan.
Lin Suqing came in slowly with a incense burner in her hand, hesitatingly placing it on the table in front of Wu Wang.
Wu Wang asked in a low voice, "Still washing?"
"Yeah," Lin Suqing nodded gently with worry in her eyes, "Will Ling Xiaolan have any problems if this continues?"
Wu Wang said, "Leaping Spirit Realm cultivation, what problems could there be?"
At most, she would become a baldy.
Then, Wu Wang felt a sense of sympathy for Ling Xiaolan.
"Send someone to prepare some calming fruits for Ling Xiaolan, and let some musicians play soothing music outside the tent. We must make sure that Ling Xiaolan feels at home," Wu Wang said warmly.
"Okay!"
Lin Suqing agreed and blinked at Wu Wang, as if asking, "You said you weren't interested in her, but now you're doing all this."
Wu Wang shrugged and shook his head.
If he developed a beautiful relationship with another woman, such as an old aunt, all he had to overcome was his strange illness. However, if he developed an unconventional relationship with Ling Xiaolan, Wu Wang was reminded of a classic novel he had read in his previous life.
The person in the cover was still a double play!
The leader of the Bear Hug Clan was doomed.
Wu Wang's arrangements seemed to have some effect. Ling Xiaolan appeared outside the tent shortly after Lin Suqing left.She seemed to have forgotten to wear a veil, with her long hair simply tied up and wearing a loose white dress. The sway of the dress caused the waistline that made people's hearts uneasy to shake left and right.
In the past, people often said that beauty lies in the bones, not the skin. Ling Xiaolan's appearance seemed to perfectly illustrate this point.
Her almond eyes, delicate nose, and thin lips may not have reached perfection, but when these features were put together, they were harmonious.
There was a small red mole at the corner of her mouth, making her even more attractive.
"Young Master Xiong!"
Ling Xiaolan clenched her fists and stood two zhang away.
The guards on both sides moved forward, and Lin Suqing, who was following behind, was also a little nervous.
Wu Wang put down the book in his hand and said seriously, "What advice does Fairy Ling have?"
"Thank you..."
Her lips trembled, and she took a deep breath before moving her gaze to the side. She tried a few times before finally saying softly, "Thank you."
After speaking, she left the tent with two illusions, leaving Wu Wang puzzled.
Was she shy?
Ji Mo, who was meditating on the side, opened one eye and whispered, "Did Fairy Ling just thank us?"
"What's so abnormal about that?"
Wu Wang was confused. "I saved you, shouldn't you thank me?"
Ji Mo suddenly gave an ugly smile. "Thank you, Brother Xiong, for your help. Fairy Ling rarely thanks others and rarely asks for help."
"Thank you, Brother Ji. I see."
Wu Wang winked at Lin Suqing and asked with concern, "Suqing, how is Fairy Ling's injury?"
"Young Master, Fairy Ling's injury is not serious," Lin Suqing said. "The alchemy in the Human Realm is extremely profound, and the healing pills on Fairy Ling's body are also top-notch. There will be no scars left."
"If the injured warriors in our clan had such pills, it would be great."

Ji Mo immediately said, "The North Wilderness Clan inevitably suffers injuries in battles with the beasts. When I arrive home, I will immediately send a batch of healing pills as a thank-you gift to Brother Xiong!"
"We exchange minerals, it's a mutual benefit. But let's not publicize this matter."
Ji Mo nodded solemnly, then showed emotion and praised, "It's satisfying enough for the North Wilderness Clan to meet a hero like Brother Xiong."
"Not looking for a barbarian waist anymore?"
"That's a different matter."
The two looked at each other and then laughed heartily. The laughter contained a deep meaning that Lin Suqing couldn't understand.
Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan stayed in the Bear Hug Clan's royal court for three days and two nights. When the search team sent out by Wu Wang returned empty-handed, they immediately left.In order to help them hide their tracks, Wu Wang specially arranged for the two of them to hide in the carriage of the Bear Hug Clan going to the market, and contacted the merchant ship heading south in advance.
They would drift at sea for a few days before returning to the Human Realm on their own flying tools.
Before leaving, Wu Wang and Ji Mo hugged each other tightly and hammered each other a few times.
Ling Xiaolan bowed to Wu Wang and promised to repay him for the three favors he owed him in the future... but Wu Wang didn't take it to heart.
However, half a day after they boarded the ship, when night fell, Ji Mo stood with his hands behind his back on the back deck of the ship, gazing at the northern starry sky, and suddenly spoke:
"Teacher, do you think that Brother Xiong can shoulder the heavy responsibility?"
The air rippled slightly, and a gray figure walked over and appeared beside Ji Mo out of nowhere.
This was a middle-aged scholar dressed in a gray robe and a square hat, with a pale complexion that made him look sickly. When he appeared, he was still holding a jade talisman in his hand, and his voice was weak.
He said slowly:
"The young master of the Bear Hug Clan will be a remarkable figure in the future, and no one in the North Wilderness can match him. It's an unexpected pleasure for us to meet him on this trip to the North Wilderness.
But unfortunately, when he obtained the power bestowed by the Star God, his life span had already been completely locked, and he only has a few hundred years left. His moral character is still above ours.
The Ten Calamities Palace's ferocious beast and Yin Shizhe's corpse were all taken by the Bear Hug Clan, and Wang Lin was completely wiped out by the Star-Praying Technique. It's obvious that it was the young master of the Bear Hug Clan who did it.
It's not easy for me to explain this when I go back."
"Teacher," Ji Mo frowned slightly, "What about my fellow travelers..."
"This is a trial. The content of this trial is to find the spy of the Ten Calamities Palace and survive under the hands of Yin Shizhe, who has already defected to the Ten Calamities Palace.
Even if Ling Shizhe unfortunately died in the North Wilderness, it is a loss that must be borne."
The middle-aged scholar sighed:
"I didn't help you. It's all up to you to deal with it. The rules have been like this since ancient times; I have already collected their bodies and will return them to their sect."
Ji Mo hesitated to speak, but in the end, he just sighed softly.
"Being friends with Brother Xiong is really refreshing. If I could see him again, I would have a drink with him.
By the way, will you report Brother Xiong's situation to the sect?"
"I have already sent a message back with the jade talisman," the middle-aged scholar said calmly. "At seventeen years old, with such a powerful divine sense, even if his mother gave him enlightenment, it would be difficult for someone with ordinary aptitude to reach this level.
As for how to make a decision, it's up to the elders of the sect. Maybe there will be seniors who will help him get rid of the shackles of his life span. Who can say for sure?""Alright, I can't show myself too much. I still feel uneasy while we're still in the North Wilderness," said Ji Mo as he turned around and bowed to the grey-robed scholar. The scholar took a step back and disappeared into thin air.
When Ji Mo looked up, he saw Ling Xiaolan standing not far away. He awkwardly smiled and greeted her.
"Lady Ling..."
Ling Xiaolan snorted and put on her hat. She said calmly, "Friend Ji, won't you feel guilty the next time you face the young lord of the North Wilderness? He saved our lives and treated you with sincerity."
Ji Mo rubbed his nose and laughed. "I have always been honest with Brother Xiong. Although I had some doubts, he may have had them too. Besides, Brother Xiong is probably using Cang Xue's power to observe us through his magical sphere."
Meanwhile, in Wu Wang's tent...
He sat alone on a fur chair, staring at the sphere in front of him. He couldn't help but look around suspiciously.
Gosh, I almost thought the Great Wasteland had surveillance cameras.
Looking at the crystal ball, he saw Ling Xiaolan walking away with her hat on. It seemed that they had parted ways.
Wu Wang thought to himself, "Alright, that's enough."
The necklace on his chest glimmered and the image in the crystal ball quickly faded away.
"The Human Realm is so complicated," said Cang Xue in her gentle voice. "Do you still want to go?"
Wu Wang remained silent for a moment before answering softly.
Cang Xue continued, "If you leave the North Wilderness, I won't be able to watch over you all the time...I know you're smart, but there aren't many people in this world as pure as Su Qing. People are always competing for survival."
"The gods are high above and don't care about the joys and sorrows of mortals. Most of those who rely on the gods are cruel and numb."
"Mother, the North Wilderness is like a warm bed, while the Star-Praying Realm is like an old dream," Wu Wang said with a relaxed tone. "I still want to go out and explore the Great Wasteland, to experience it for myself."
"Don't worry, I'll treasure my life for you and father, and for our clan. If you and father don't have another heir, I'll come back before I turn 180 years old to inherit the family business. If necessary, I won't hesitate to give up my cultivation level."
"But mother, I really want to go out and see the world. I don't want to see the end of my life at the age of 17."
"You..." Cang Xue lightly scolded him. "With that mouth of yours, I wonder how many women you'll charm in the future."
Wu Wang blushed a little and quickly changed the subject. He then told his mother about the dream he had before. This time, he could clearly sense a change in her mood. She seemed to be much more subdued.Cang Xue did not answer Wu Wang's series of questions about the dreamland, just said:
"Leaving North Wilderness to explore may not be a bad thing for you."
Wu Wang widened his eyes.
"Mother, please be clear. Your son is good at associating things, but this statement has too much information."
"Huh?"
Does Mother mean that leaving North Wilderness may have a chance to cure the strange illness?
Wu Wang suddenly jumped up excitedly, but before he could ask more, he found that his mother had cut off the communication...
"Ah, Mother really knows something."
...
After Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan left, Wu Wang's longing for the Human Realm suddenly became stronger.
The five-year period is approaching, and everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. After leaving North Wilderness, although the power of Star-Praying Technique will decrease, there is still a means of self-defense.
Lin Suqing's master, Zuo Dongzhen, is temporarily staying in the Bear Hug Clan.
After all, without the Yunzhou, Zuo Dongzhen's cultivation cannot cross the Eastern or Western Sea. He would have to drift on the sea for three and a half years until Lin Suqing's "sentence" is over, and then return to the Human Realm together.
With the addition of a Golden Elixir elder in the clan, Wu Wang will not miss the opportunity.
With a few fairy fish and several jars of wine, Wu Wang gained a lot of insights into cultivation, and then discarded the dross and retained the essence, gaining...probably three or four sentences that were useful to him.
The harvest was great, and he was serious.
As the deadline he set for himself approached, Wu Wang's Dao heart became even more peaceful, and he checked all kinds of treasures he had prepared.
The six top-grade storage magic treasures that Lin Suqing had exchanged for over the years were already full.
Picking some precious ores from North Wilderness that had high demand and value in the Human Realm, Wu Wang brought two storage bags, probably about four or five carts in quantity.
He brought two bags of crystal balls that stored the Star Thunder Technique. These were all made by the high priest in the clan, Xing Xuan, and were worth more than those ores.
When counting these, Lin Suqing asked in a low voice:
"Young Master, are you going to blow up a fairy sect?"
"Hmm?" Wu Wang was stunned by the question and asked back, "Are these enough to blow up the gate of a medium-sized fairy sect?"
"It should be enough for a medium-sized fairy sect."
So Wu Wang asked the priests in the clan to hurry up and make a few hundred more.
As the young master of a big clan, Wu Wang must give the clan a reasonable reason for going to the Human Realm, in order to avoid causing unrest and panic within the clan.
Wu Wang had been preparing for this for years, and the Star God Sect became the tool he used at this time.
Soon, a rumor appeared in various tribes in North Wilderness:【North Wilderness has been the most peaceful place in the Great Wasteland, but unfortunately, the war in the nine wildernesses of the Great Wasteland has been continuous, and the resentment of the creatures has been accumulating, which will become a disaster in the future and come to North Wilderness.
The Star God predicted that there would be a messenger chosen by the Star God to find the Star God's True Scripture in the Great Wasteland to save the world.
His name: North Wilderness Scripture Seeker.】
