Chapter 1180: Zhengzhou
1185. Chapter 1180 Zhengzhou (Combined)
"Meimei."
Re Li Luoka, in Meichouni's form, called out.
The lead "Vine Bull" running ahead seemed to realize something and suddenly slammed on the brakes again.
The group of Vine Bulls following behind also halted abruptly.
The lead Vine Bull didn't speak, simply gesturing sideways with its head.
The other Vine Bulls immediately fanned out.
The Vine Bull stopped running, now approaching on all fours. Though its eyes were almost entirely covered by green leaves, Qiao Sang still felt an intense gaze piercing through.
As the Vine Bull drew closer, the surrounding air seemed to condense.
Qiao Sang, Migala, and Fangy simultaneously felt immense pressure.
At this moment, the flowers in the pot swayed slightly, as if caressed by a breeze.
The oppressive aura surrounding them instantly dissipated.
Qiao Sang and Migala both exhaled in relief, the terrifying sensation of being watched by a monstrous presence vanishing.
The Vine Bull narrowed its eyes, scrutinizing the two humans and their familiars before glancing subtly at the flower in the pot and calling out:
"Lili?"
If before Qiao Sang had only a ninety percent certainty that this hornless Vine Bull was Li Ou Yasi, now hearing that call confirmed it completely in her mind.
"Meimei."
Re Li Luoka called again.
Immediately, her eyes glowed green.
A green barrier spread downward, enveloping the area.
The familiars watching this scene all froze mid-motion, expressions turning confused, before quickly losing interest and resuming their play.
The flowers in the pot transformed back into Xialala's form, leaping out to land on the ground.
The Vine Bull raised its left front paw, tearing away the leaves covering its body to reveal its true appearance.
A crimson body adorned with black flame patterns. White facial features, nose, and underbelly. A tuft of red beard beneath its chin. A black ribbon-like substance wrapped around its tail. A miniature band adorned its limb.
The form was unmistakably Li Ou Yasi.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy's expression lit up with excitement as it called out.
Li Ou Yasi cast a sidelong glance, tilting its head proudly.
In its mind, it was perfectly normal for other Fire Pet Beasts to show excitement toward it.
After all, it was a legendary fire-type Divine Beast.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy turned to its Beastmaster, chirping happily to confirm this was truly Li Ou Yasi - finally, it would obtain those coveted eye secretions.
Li Ou Yasi's proud expression froze momentarily.
"It's eye secretion", Qiao Sang corrected.
"Lili?"
Li Ou Yasi regained composure, facing Colorful Bud's Xialala with an inquisitive chirp, asking who these newcomers were.
"Xia Xia..."
Colorful Bud's Xialala cast a complex glance at Li Ou Yasi before beginning its explanation.
They had traveled a hundred years into the future...
Li Ou Yasi listened silently, initial indifference shifting to disbelief.
Its expression turned shocked as it called out:
"Lili?"
It would become only a spiritual form in a hundred years? Impossible!
"Re Li..."
Re Li Luoka sighed, emitting a sorrowful call - she too found it hard to believe.
"Lili!"
Li Ou Yasi refused to accept it.
No! This couldn't be real!
"Xia Xia."
Colorful Bud's Xialala offered no further explanation, instead calling to her future self.
Freshbloom's Xialala removed the Enduring Flower from her head, transforming back to her original form.
"!!!" Li Ou Yasi froze, then finally exclaimed in shock:
"Lili!"
There was another Xialala?
"Re Li..."
Re Li Luoka's sorrow deepened, tears streaming.
"Because she's the Xialala from a century later", Qiao Sang explained, having followed Steel Treasure's translation in her mind. She understood Li Ou Yasi's confusion.
"A century later Xialala?"
Li Ou Yasi's expression turned astonished as it looked between the two Xialalas. Suddenly stiffening, it turned to Colorful Bud's Xialala and called out:
"Lili?"
Why was your future self in Initial Form?
"Re Li..."
Re Li Luoka wept even harder.
"Xia Xia."
Colorful Bud's Xialala responded calmly.
Li Ou Yasi instinctively took a step back, disbelief on its face. Then focusing on Future Xialala, its expression turned despondent, eyes filled with sorrow.
It hadn't felt this devastated even upon learning of its own future demise.
The atmosphere grew heavy with sadness.
"Xia Xia?"
Colorful Bud's Xialala finally broke the tension, asking if you've stored any Li Huo Jing.
Fangy's expression lit with anticipation.
"Lili."
Li Ou Yasi quickly suppressed its sadness, giving a "Are you joking?" look as it called out.
Why would it collect its own eye secretions?
"Xia Xia."
Colorful Bud's Xialala remained calm.
Li Ou Yasi frowned, its tone clearly displeased.
"I'm about to die anyway - why leave behind Li Huo Jing?"
It cast a meaningful glance at Fangy.
It understood now - this little one was the one needing its Li Huo Jing.
"Xia Xia."
Colorful Bud's Xialala spoke calmly.
Steel Treasure translated in Qiao Sang's mind.
"No, our agreement was only to help contact Li Ou Yasi..." Qiao Sang gave a complex look to the past Xialala.
"Lili."
Li Ou Yasi remained silent for two heartbeats before finally calling out.
"Fine, come get it in a couple days."
With that, it draped its leaf-made artifacts over its body.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated again.
Qiao Sang exhaled in relief upon hearing this.
The current Li Ou Yasi's personality was clearly different from her century-later spirit form. But once she agreed, she wouldn't go back on her word.
"Lili."
Li Ou Yasi turned to Colorful Bud's Xialala.
"I'll be leaving Mingzhou. Contact me by phone then."
"Leaving Mingzhou?" Qiao Sang, hearing Steel Treasure's translation, froze.
"Xia Xia?"
Colorful Bud's Xialala expressed confusion.
"Why leave Mingzhou?"
"Lili."
Li Ou Yasi gave a "Isn't it obvious?" look.
"If I die here in Mingzhou in the future, obviously I can't stay here to wait for death."
"Lili?"
As it finished speaking, it suddenly seemed to remember something, turning to Migala.
"How exactly did I die later?"
It could sense the two humans - this one was stronger.
Migala froze, momentarily failing to realize Li Ou Yasi was addressing her.
"Pengpeng."
Pengamei called out, performing the first translation.
But by then, Li Ou Yasi had already grown impatient, shifting its gaze to the other human.
"Your spirit body didn't specify the exact situation." Qiao Sang immediately said.
I should've bonded with a familiar capable of Bond Evolution...Migala felt a pang of weariness. What a rare opportunity to chat with a legendary familiar, only for her to miss it like this...
"Lili."
Li Ou Yasi acknowledged with a call and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Qiao Sang called out.
Li Ou Yasi halted mid-stride, glancing back.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to travel with you." Qiao Sang said earnestly.
Firstly, if Li Ou Yasi produced eye secretions, she could obtain them immediately. Secondly, she wanted to learn the precise events that occurred a century ago to cause a fire-type Divine Beast's demise. She didn't believe leaving Mingzhou would alter the eventual outcome.
Migala remained silent. Their century-spanning journey targeted the Li Huo Jing. Staying with Li Ou Yasi was ideal.
"Dis—"
Li Ou Yasi's annoyed expression surfaced as she opened her mouth to protest.
"Xia Xia."
Colorful Bud's Xialala suddenly called out, indicating it would join them.
"Lili."
Li Ou Yasi's irritation faded into reluctant acceptance. "Lili", she called out, conceding to their accompaniment.
With that, she turned and left.
The green barrier parted before her like nothingness as she passed through.
Treasure Seeker wore a curious expression before attempting to phase through the barrier like Li Ou Yasi.
Instead, it crashed into the barrier, sending ripples across its surface like water.
"Xunxun..." Treasure Seeker rubbed its head.
"Xia Xia." Colorful Bud's Xialala called out, reverting to Freshbloom's form.
Re Li Luoka wiped tears while dismantling the barrier. Migala followed immediately.
Qiao Sang spoke:
"Teacher, I'll send Treasure Seeker to fetch Dragon King and the others from the hotel first."
While Dragon King and Tingbao could return to the Beastmaster Codex, Yuan Bing jellyfish required a special retrieval trip.
She nearly forgot about Dragon King...Migala stiffened briefly before recovering. "Alright."
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun~" Before she could speak, Treasure Seeker nodded, eyes glowing blue as it vanished.
Despite lacking Navigation, it memorized the route from here to the hotel.
Soon, Treasure Seeker returned with Dragon King, Tingbao, and Yuan Bing jellyfish.
Li Ou Yasi had only advanced dozens of meters.
"Ya Ya!" Fangy ran ahead, turning to cry out to its beastmaster.
"Coming!" Qiao Sang quickened her pace.
"Xia..." Freshbloom's Xialala called out, realizing something and covering its mouth before rushing forward.
"Hearing the sound, Qiao Sang paused, bent down to scoop her up. Xialala's golden bud collar swayed gently."
Colorful Bud's Xialala sensed something, seeing its century-future self contentedly nestled in human arms. It glanced at the girl.
"Re Li?" Re Li Luoka called out.
"Xia Xia." Colorful Bud's Xialala turned away.
...
Five hours later.
The full moon hung high, casting cold light over the quiet valley.
Suddenly, chaotic sounds erupted. Familiars scattered.
Shua-shua— A shadow blazed through the valley, red flames flickering within. High above, Fangy flapped its wings in pursuit.
"Does Li Ou Yasi enjoy running this much? It's been five hours nonstop", Qiao Sang checked her phone and sighed.
Migala floated beside her, explaining, "Li Ou Yasi naturally loves running. Otherwise, I wouldn't have noticed something was amiss."
"Gurgle..." Fangy's stomach growled.
"Want a snack?" Qiao Sang suggested.
"Ya Ya!" Fangy refused, fearing losing track of Li Ou Yasi.
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker munched snacks while calling, implying they could just call if they lost the trail.
Fangy remained silent, continuing pursuit. Evolution materials were below—it couldn't risk any mishaps.
"Steel Chief." Steel Treasure calmly offered, "If you don't mind my sturdy body, I can carry everyone."
Holding grudges about its durability... Qiao Sang stiffened slightly.
Steel Treasure glanced at its beastmaster.
"Ya Ya!" Fangy flapped insistently. "You all just stay put on me!"
"Xia Xia." Colorful Bud's Xialala suddenly called downward.
The valley's plants trembled. The running shadow braked sharply.
"Xia Xia." Xialala called again, signaling descent.
Qiao Sang inwardly reflected—both century-versions of Xialala were so gentle. Naturally, it responded to Fangy's hunger call.
"Ya Ya!" Fangy dove. Migala, Pengamei, and Dragon King followed.
"Lili?" Li Ou Yasi faced several shadows, questioning their halt.
"Xia Xia." Xialala left Fangy, calling for a break.
"Lili!" Li Ou Yasi frowned. "Already resting?"
"Xia Xia." Xialala calmly stated hunger.
Li Ou Yasi sighed, conceding, "Fine." Shrugging off its leaf artifact, it revealed its true form, lying down.
"Gurgle..." Fangy shrank, stomach growling again.
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker removed its ring, quickly retrieving Fangy's energy pills and fruits.
Qiao Sang sat cross-legged. "Where exactly are we now?"
Without mobile phone, Navigation, or positioning, she was clueless.
"Zhengzhou", Migala answered.
