Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2463: Chapter 2464: Mengzhu Tribe

Yue Qinghuan did indeed find it a little strange.

As the heir of the Bing Family, she had also heard of this Jingman Clan.

She knew they were the masters of this land of sorcery and gu, and though their temperament was pure and straightforward, there was no lack of brutal types among them.

Especially since the Deities they worship were all hidden deep within these endless mountain ranges, and what they excelled at were all kinds of sinister secret techniques and arts of witchcraft and gu, which added an extra layer of mystery to them.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one was willing to provoke these Jingman tribesmen.

The ”provoke” here did not only refer to enmity, but also to favors.

Because the personalities of these Jingman tribesmen tended to be extreme; whether it was hatred or gratitude, it would leave endless future troubles.

That was why Yue Qinghuan would ask such a question.

”Since we’ve run into it, naturally we should step in. As for going to the Yin and Yang Clan... that’s not something we need to rush this very moment!” Xue An said calmly.

Yue Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. She turned to glance at Mengzhu Nasa, who was busy in the distance, and then said meaningfully,

”Don’t tell me you took a fancy to that pretty little girl and have other ideas? Let me tell you, the women of the Jingman Clan, especially the pretty young girls, are the ones you must never provoke.”

”Because these women often raise all sorts of bizarre gu insects. The slightest carelessness and you’ll fall into their hands. By then, even if you were a Saint, you’d be in for it. You don’t want to wake up one morning and find your whole body crawling with bugs, do you?”

Yue Qinghuan said this with a very serious face, though there was a trace of teasing in her eyes.

Xue An couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself.

”In your eyes, am I really the type who lusts after beauty?”

Yue Qinghuan was about to say ”yes,” but swallowed the word back at the last second.

Because she suddenly felt that using ”lusts after beauty” to describe Xue An was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

After all, she herself had been secretly fond of this fellow all along!

With her looks, she was in no way inferior to that Mengzhu Nasa, perhaps even surpassing her, and her feelings were deeply rooted, impossible to extricate herself from.

Yet even so, Xue An remained unmoved, like a block of steel straight man; outwardly close, but in reality keeping her a thousand miles away.

For someone like that, it truly wasn’t suitable to use ”lusts after beauty” to describe him.

But she still curled her lips. ”Who knows? Maybe that’s exactly your thing. Just don’t blame me for not warning you: these Jingman women are the most infatuated kind. Once they fall for someone, it’s extremely hard to shake them off. And if you dare to start something and then abandon them, they’ll chase you to the ends of the earth and never let you go!”

Xue An was both amused and exasperated.

How was it that, in Yue Qinghuan’s words, he somehow already sounded like some scumbag who toys with feelings and then dumps people?

Just then, Mengzhu Nasa finished tidying up those Golden Armored Copper Corpses and came back to say, ”Mr. Xue, I’ve made all the preparations. Shall we set off now?”

”Alright!”

Xue An nodded, then raised his hand, and a ray of sword light shot straight toward her.

Mengzhu Nasa was taken aback, but didn’t even try to dodge, letting that ray of sword light fly into the center of her brows.

In the next instant, Mengzhu Nasa felt her body lighten, and she actually rose straight up into the sky.

”Let’s go. You lead the way in front,” Xue An said calmly.

”Mm!”

Mengzhu Nasa was overjoyed. She spurred her body forward and began to race through the sky.

With the help of that strand of sword light from Xue An, her speed truly was like wind and lightning. In no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had soared over a dozen great mountains, and then the view suddenly opened up, revealing a plain encircled by mountain ranges.

On the plain stood many buildings, clearly forming a prosperous city.

Only, all the buildings in this city were made of wood, even the city walls were the same.

Mengzhu Nasa pointed ahead, saying excitedly, ”Mr. Xue, that is our Mengzhu Tribe. Thank the heavens and the Moon Mother; it looks like the Hegemon-Wu Tribe people haven’t had time to make a move here yet!”

With that, she descended rapidly and landed on the ground, then hurried to the city gate.

At this moment, the gate was tightly shut.

But there were guards on the walls.

They had also seen these three people flying over from the sky and could not help but grow more wary.

But before they could react, Mengzhu Nasa had already landed before the gate and shouted loudly, ”I’m back! Quickly open the gate!”

At the sight of Mengzhu Nasa, the guards were first startled, then overjoyed.

”It’s the Holy Maiden!”

”The Holy Maiden has returned!”

”Thanks to the Moon Mother’s blessing, the Holy Maiden is indeed safe and sound!”

Amid the commotion, someone had already leapt off toward the town to report the news, while the remaining guards rushed down from the wall and opened the gate from within.

”Holy Maiden!”

”Greetings, Holy Maiden!”

To the chorus of respectful greetings, Mengzhu Nasa nodded.

”What’s going on? Why is the city gate closed even in broad daylight? And where are the Priest and the Clan Leader?”

”The Priest, the Clan Leader, and the elders are all in the Divine Temple. Closing the gates was also the Priest’s order!”

”Oh!” Mengzhu Nasa nodded, then turned back to Xue An and said,

”Mr. Xue, the Priest and the Clan Leader are all in the Divine Temple. Please come with me! You saved me; the Mengzhu Tribe will of course properly repay you!”

Mengzhu Nasa said this with great seriousness.

Xue An smiled. ”There’s no need for repayment. But I do want to take a look at your Divine Temple.”

”Very well, please follow me!”

Mengzhu Nasa led Xue An and Yue Qinghuan through the city gate, heading toward the Divine Temple at the center of the town.

Behind them, the guards exchanged looks.

”Who were that man and woman just now?”

”No idea. They don’t look like people of the Jingman Clan!”

”Mm, I don’t think so either. But the Holy Maiden seemed very courteous to them, and she even said they saved her. What’s going on?”

”Could that man be the one the Holy Maiden fancies?”

At these words, all the guards immediately shut their mouths.

A moment later, someone forced a laugh. ”What nonsense are you spouting? If the Squadron Leader hears you, we’ll be in for it!”

The guards hurriedly scattered.

On the other side, Mengzhu Nasa had already led Xue An and the other two through the streets and arrived before the Divine Temple.

Calling it a Divine Temple, in truth it was just a relatively tall house.

Atop the house stood a wooden pole, and hanging from the pole was a crescent-shaped stone.

By this time, the report from the gate had already reached the inside of the Divine Temple. Just as Mengzhu Nasa and the other two reached the entrance, the temple doors slowly swung open.

Then a group of people walked out from within.

They wore all kinds of clothing, and their auras were all different. At their head was a middle-aged woman with an air of majesty and a kindly face, holding a Scepter topped with a crescent moon.

Beside the middle-aged woman stood a young woman, dressed in a dark blue dress. Her features were delicate and beautiful, yet her bearing was quite extraordinary.

Seeing the two of them, Mengzhu Nasa immediately bowed deeply.

”Greetings, Priest and Clan Leader!”

The middle-aged woman stepped forward to help Mengzhu Nasa up, then studied her carefully for a moment before finally letting out a long breath.

”The Moon Mother blesses us, blesses you for being safe and sound and returning in peace!”
