"No, no, Your Esteign, please don't misunderstand. Actually, that Mo Yang has a deep hatred for me regarding a woman! Mo Yang and Xue Ying were childhood sweethearts. Later, it was precisely because of Mo Yang's appearance that Xue Ying was ultimately seduced by him. I don't even know where she is now. Sigh... it's all tears when I talk about it, which is why I established this rule in Spirit Beast City!"
Upon hearing this, Su Han was instantly bewildered!
He felt that the world of these alien races was indeed quite small. Moreover, this Mo Ya seemed to be a real sucker, having his beautiful wife stolen. Anyone would find it unbearable, and yet this person was his own brother.
However, what Su Han didn't say was that the Marchioness of Goat now had roots on Blue Star and didn't want to return. Furthermore, she had become his woman, and they occasionally exchanged techniques.
"Brother, please mind yourself. Women are like crossing a river on a raft; if one is gone, there are plenty more, hahaha. Look at this Flower Fox. I think she's a perfect match for you. How about I act as a matchmaker here and let her be your wife!"
As soon as these words were spoken, City Lord Mo Ya repeatedly waved his hands.
He glanced at the husbands of the Flower Fox and sighed. If he, the City Lord, were to get involved, he would likely be gossiped about.
"No, no, Your Esteign is joking. Let's continue drinking."
The two continued to drink a few more cups. Seemingly a bit tipsy, City Lord Mo Ya suddenly said, "Your Esteign, actually, I recently heard a rumor. I don't know if it's true or not. I heard you obtained a very precious immortal artifact, the Thousand Miles Landscape Painting? Is that true?"
Su Han chuckled. What was bound to come would eventually come. He knew that the Thousand Miles Landscape Painting could not be kept secret.
However, Su Han did not admit it and instead smiled mysteriously, "Regarding this, I hope you can forgive me, but I truly cannot comment."
Mo Ya waved his hand, not offended. After all, he was just a small City Lord, still a level below Su Han. It was understandable that others might not answer directly.
However, based on his years of experience, Mo Ya had already guessed about seventy to eighty percent of it!
"Alas... if I may say, Your Esteign, if you wish to safely pass through this journey, it would be best to hand over the painting as soon as possible, or sell it at an auction. Although it will undoubtedly cause a bloody storm, it is also a good way to protect yourself. I have said all I can, all I can..."
"Hmm?"
Su Han was suddenly surprised. He could tell that the reason Mo Ya said this was likely because someone was already targeting him.
With the Thousand Miles Landscape Painting and his current Emperor Realm strength, there were only a handful of people who could scheme against him.
But even so!
Su Han dared not be careless in the slightest. After all, he was in the open, while his opponents were in the dark, putting him in a very passive position.
After drinking their fill, Mo Ya smoothly took his leave. Before departing, he reminded him again, "Your Esteign, it's best to be cautious. The Spirit Realm is full of deceit, and many renowned sects are engaged in unsavory deeds. Your Esteign must not fall into their traps!"
Su Han nodded in Mo Ya's direction and then said, "The Marchioness of Goat is still alive. Do you want to see her?"
After all, he had many beloved women, and he wanted to convey this news to Mo Ya.
However, at this moment, Mo Ya seemed to have already given up!
"Hmph, that woman. It's better not to see her! She has long since changed. She is no longer the innocent and lively Xue Ying she once was..."
After bidding farewell to City Lord Mo Ya, the next day, Su Han continued his journey with Ye Lingshan.
The night's replenishment had greatly boosted Su Han's spirits!
Feeling refreshed, he admired the scenery while looking at a new spirit beast Ye Lingshan had bought.
"What is this? This little monkey looks so drab. Why did you buy it?" Su Han asked in surprise.
At this moment, Ye Lingshan giggled and said, "Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance. This monkey is a powerful breed. It specializes in eating spirit herbs. Once it eats enough spirit herbs and grows up, if it's lucky enough to become a Supreme Spirit Monkey, its strength can reach half a step into the Emperor Realm. Isn't that impressive!"
Su Han was stunned. He hadn't expected this spirit beast to be so powerful. However, he didn't know that the resources required to raise this monkey to half a step into the Emperor Realm were astronomical.
"Alright, Lingshan, let me play with this monkey!"
Seeing this, Su Han immediately took the monkey and began to play with it. At first, the monkey wanted to refuse, as it was fiercer than Ye Lingshan.
However, under his immense pressure, the monkey immediately obeyed!
"Hiss... Since this monkey needs to eat a large amount of spirit herbs, why not put it into my Thousand Miles Landscape Painting? There are vast tracts of spirit herbs inside, which it can eat to its heart's content..."
As soon as he said this, Ye Lingshan, who was beside him, also felt it made sense and immediately pleaded, "Okay, Su Han, then quickly put it in. I spent three thousand spirit coins on this monkey. If you put it in, let it eat spirit herbs well and grow up quickly!"
Seeing Ye Lingshan start to beg him, Su Han burst into laughter. He hadn't expected the eldest daughter of the Ye Clan to have such a side to her.
He immediately placed the monkey into the Thousand Miles Landscape Painting. Su Han then entered the painting himself, sensing where the monkey was going.
After a brief look, Su Han immediately pointed to a spot and said, "Long Whisker Grass!"
Instantly, a large patch of Long Whisker Grass appeared on the ground. This low-grade medicinal herb was a favorite of spirit monkeys, and it immediately pounced on it, beginning to devour it greedily.
Seeing this, Su Han was overjoyed. He looked at his hands, feeling his omnipotent strength, and greatly enjoyed it.
Emerging from the Landscape Painting, Su Han continued his journey by carriage!
However, not long after they left Spirit Beast City, they suddenly saw a group of masked burly men on the road ahead. These burly men were all riding black tigers, looking extremely imposing!
"Black Tiger Mercenaries. What are these guys doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Su Han immediately looked at Ye Lingshan beside him and asked curiously, "What, who are these guys?"
Ye Lingshan then explained, "These are people from the Black Tiger Mercenaries. They have always raised incredibly powerful black tigers and are extremely fierce. Even our Ye Clan doesn't dare to provoke them easily. Also, their leader, I heard, is a half-step Emperor Realm expert with very peculiar moves. We shouldn't offend them lightly this time!"
Since the journey to Spirit Realm City was still long, Ye Lingshan advised Su Han not to alert them unnecessarily.
