"Um, may I go take a look?"
However, Qin Yiyao blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Heng expectantly.
She preferred to believe it existed. Besides, judging from the descriptions of those mortals, this monster seemed particularly...novel, as if no one had ever seen it before. Based on Qin Yiyao's memories of being an emperor in her previous life, she didn't seem to have ever seen a monster that matched this description.
Shouldn't we go and take a look?
Gu Heng patted her head and said with a smile, "Of course, but you have to help me pack my things first and put them all here."
The little girl's face immediately fell. "How can you go out without getting ready?"
Qin Yiyao puffed out her cheeks, then, with a sullen expression, began to help Gu Heng pack up his change of clothes, money, and other belongings, placing them on the table in the back room.
After working for about fifteen minutes, as she passed Gu Heng's table piled with Xuan paper, brushes, ink, calligraphy samples, and messy paintings, she saw... a sketchbook hidden under a lot of papers?
"This is……"
She picked it up.
To be honest, this is just a very simple and ordinary picture book. If there's anything special about it, it's that the hinge holding the picture paper is a patterned antique bronze piece.
It looks rather mysterious.
Is this another of Master's treasures?
Qin Yiyao had never seen anything like it before, and couldn't even tell if it was a treasure or just a sketchbook for ordinary people. She flipped through the pages and found it completely empty.
However, when you turn to a certain page...
Qin Yiyao saw that there were three simple black figures drawn on it, with round faces and their bodies and limbs all drawn with black lines. Each of the three figures also had a different expression, making them look particularly funny and cute.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
This must have been drawn by Master. I never expected that Master, who is such a grown man, would still have such a childish heart.
This looks like something only a child would like to draw.
"Have you finished cleaning up?"
Hearing Gu Heng's voice coming from the backyard, Qin Yiyao quickly closed the sketchbook and called out, "It's done!"
He walked in, carrying the freshly cleaned alchemy furnace, and nodded as he looked at the neatly folded clothes and money on the table. "Hmm, the little girl is quite obedient."
"Alright, go ahead, see whatever you want, but I think you'll make a wasted trip."
Since Qin Yiyao obediently did what she asked, Gu Heng will keep his promise.
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~ Master is always so mysterious and cryptic."
Qin Yiyao made a face at him, sticking out her tongue.
Then he rushed out the door.
Gu Heng chuckled.
It's normal for a little girl to like joining in the fun.
Gu Heng had no particular thoughts on it. He didn't care what monsters were outside the city; they weren't worth looking at. In any case, if there really were monsters, the cultivators in the city would definitely take action to eliminate them.
After finishing the spring cleaning, Gu Heng began to put all the things Qin Yiyao had packed for the journey—clothes, money, pills and potions that he had already refined and that could be eaten, and a medicine furnace—into his system backpack.
Gu Heng also brought his writing brush, ink, and Xuan paper with him, so that even when he went out to play, he wouldn't forget these things that could help him pass the time.
While tidying up my desk, which was covered with piles of papers and ink splattered everywhere.
Gu Heng saw the picture book "The Secret Diagram of Destiny Creation," which was only available for sale once in the mall.
We should bring this too; we might be able to sketch some scenery along the way.
"Ok?"
Gu Heng casually flipped through the page and saw three stick figures on one of the pages.
He drew it out of boredom when he was in the Cloud Spirit Forest, where wild beasts blocked his way.
The stick figures on the paper had already begun to fade. This "Secret Diagram of Destiny" was absorbing ink, and Gu Heng had deliberately waited to see how long it would take for the drawing to dry out the ink... In fact, it took quite a long time. He smiled, tore off the drawing paper, and threw it into the blazing stove.
……
Qin Yiyao wasted no time and made her way to the south gate of the city before leaving.
However, just as she left the city, someone called out to her from behind.
It's Bai Feier.
"Sister Yiyao is here to join in the fun too?"
Bai Feier wore a pale yellow dress today, which made her look even more charming. Her flowing hair fell in front of her chest, making her look gentle and lovely.
"Sister Fei."
Qin Yiyao stopped and turned around, looking surprised: "I thought you were about to leave?"
Bai Feier should head to the capital of the Sunflame Dynasty now to make preparations before the start of the Imperial Competition. "Hmm, a little more time won't make a difference."
Bai Feier smiled faintly, "There's such a commotion outside, saying there's a black monster that no one has ever seen before, so I have to come and see for myself."
She raised her slender, slender fingertips, like the roots of a scallion, and pointed to the distant horizon.
Qin Yiyao looked over and sure enough, she saw a flock of birds flying by in panic. There was something there that terrified even birds and beasts, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to Yunling City!
"Let's go take a look."
"it is good."
The two women walked side by side, channeling their spiritual energy to quickly get there.
On the main road, many ordinary people who had come from the south of the city were already gathered there to watch. They couldn't see the monster at all because there was a sea of trees in front of them.
They didn't dare enter the forest. However, there was a rather high mountain nearby, and many people chose to climb halfway up it, where they could see the head of the monster that walked through the forest, each step causing the earth to tremble.
It's just a tiny black dot.
"Who will go and inform the city lord!"
"Monsters are about to invade Yunling City!"
After they actually witnessed the appearance of the monster.
Panic instantly spread among the crowd, and everyone panicked and scattered in all directions, fearing that if they were even a second too slow, they would become the monster's meal.
The two women's figures swept across the mountain path and made their way to the top of the mountain.
From the mountaintop, one can completely overlook part of the Cloud Spirit Forest. Qin Yiyao opened her eyes wide and gazed into the distance.
"Sister Yi Yao, I think I saw that humanoid monster... no, there are two of them!"
Bai Feier suddenly called out. Qin Yiyao followed her gaze and saw two humanoid monsters emerge from a gap in the forest ahead.
Then she froze.
It was a simple black figure, like it had stepped out of a painting—was this the monster's true form?!
"This monster... it looks so much like..."
Qin Yiyao murmured.
Those two humanoid monsters were a full ten feet tall, but no matter how tall they were, it didn't change the fact that they looked like things that could only appear in a painting!
Bai Feier frowned. "How strange, why does this monster look so much like something out of a painting?"
Qin Yiyao's thoughts were racing.
She remembered what she had seen in the back room of the clinic.
On one page of that sketchbook, there were three little black figures, and the expressions on the faces of two of them were exactly the same as those of the two monsters!
