Look, a small snake was spotted, and after that, they could head toward that lake.
"Which lake is it?" Qian Jiyun asked.
"It’s the fourth lake we’ve been to, not very big," An Jiuyue replied.
"Should we rush over? He should have just settled by the lake now, if we rush over at this mont..."
"No."
An Jiuyue hadn’t finished speaking when Qian Jiyun vetoed the proposal.
"He just settled at that lake, and this is when he’s most alert. If we make any move now, he’d probably relocate imdiately, or find a place without water to hide temporarily."
This Cloud-Touching Forest is essentially the Evil Dragon’s territory. How long has he been here? It’s likely been long enough for generations of demonic beasts to have passed.
The Evil Dragon is familiar with every nook and cranny here, finding a hiding spot would be incredibly easy for him.
Moreover, if the Evil Dragon engages them in a ga of chase, with him hiding and them seeking, can they really outpace the Evil Dragon, who knows the Cloud-Touching Forest like the back of his hand?
"In a few days, let’s just roam around so nearby lakes, and later we can ask Bai Yan which lake is closest to where the Evil Dragon is."
He suggested.
"Yes, let’s do that."
An Jiuyue nodded, agreeing with the man’s plan.
For an Evil Dragon that can alter its size, it’s best to be cautious. If he truly hides, finding him in the Cloud-Touching Forest would be extrely challenging.
They wished to save ti and didn’t want to be stuck in the Cloud-Touching Forest for long, as City Lord Bai and Bai Yan ntioned, who knows how many Evil Dragons there are in this Beast Domain.
Though they have plenty of ti, they don’t want to waste much of it in this place.
"Since there’s no rush, let’s wander around for a few days and rest well tonight."
"What do you want to eat today?" Qian Jiyun asked her.
Upon hearing this, An Jiuyue took out so ingredients from her space and handed them to him.
When traveling before, she wouldn’t have been so particular, asking Jiyun to do this or that, but now things are different. She’s eating for two, after all, so nutrition needs to keep up.
"Make so pork rib soup, I’ve been craving it."
"Alright."
Qian Jiyun took the ingredients and went to prepare a al.
Shortly after, Bai Yan returned with firewood, and the three n began busying themselves.
Although it wasn’t his first ti witnessing it, Bai Yan still found it hard to believe. Watching Qian Jiyun, an inter-plane traveler, cooking so skillfully never felt real.
Even among the Beastn, they wouldn’t prepare food and serve it right to their wives.
But Qian Jiyun, he was just a step away from feeding An Jiuyue himself.
...
"City Lord, I think I sll sothing appetizing?"
As the group walked through the Cloud-Touching Forest, one of the more sensitive-nosed guards spoke up quietly.
He suspected that his nose was malfunctioning; otherwise, how could he sll enticing food in the stinking Cloud-Touching Forest?
This was simply impossible.
"You must be mistaken, you must be starving to the point where you’re confusing the stench of demonic beasts’ carcasses with fragrance?" another guard gave him a sidelong glance and retorted unpleasantly.
But no sooner had he finished speaking did another waft of scent drift from afar, brushing right past his nose.
