Outside Of Time

Chapter 1148 Scumbag Chen Erniu

?Xu Qing couldnʼt hear the captainʼs thoughts.

However, he noticed the light in the captainʼs eyes. In his memory, the last time there was such a light was when the Seven Blood Eyes was building the sect in the Yinghuang Province, and Nether Fairy passed by the sky in a luxurious immortal robe.

At that time, when the captain looked at Nether Fairyʼs clothes, the light in his eyes was as intense as it was now.

Clearly, anyone bold enough to flaunt themselves in front of him would strongly attract the attention of the captain.

Xu Qing shook his head and couldnʼt be bothered to persuade him. He was already used to it.

The captainʼs actions in the next few days confirmed Xu Qingʼs guess…

He had indeed taken a fancy to Furry Pancake.

The captain followed Furry Pancake in the sky, trying to get close and play with it.

”Big Fur, wait a moment. I only have half a month. If I donʼt greet you and get to know you, Iʼll definitely regret it in the future. There are so many furry beings in the Wanggu Continent, but youʼre the most special.”

Perhaps it was because the captainʼs words were insincere or his gaze wasnʼt pure, before he could get close, his entire body would glow and he would disappear in the next instant.

He was teleported away.

However, the captainʼs perseverance was the source of his madness. Hence, he would return very soon and continue following sincerely.

In fact, as he got closer, he even called out gently to make himself look like he had no ill intentions. In order to make it more realistic, he simply took out a peach and ate it.

This was because only when he ate peaches would the special gentleness in his heart be displayed unconsciously.

”Hello, I think you have a special temperament, so I wanted to come over and get to know you.”

Swoosh!

Furry Pancake whistled past and didnʼt even bother with him, teleporting him away.

Two hours later, the captainʼs figure ran over from afar, waving his hand.

”Donʼt leave. Do you know that you really look like an old friend of mine? Thatʼs my best friend…”

Swoosh!

He continued to disappear.

Just like that, seven days later, under the captainʼs incomparable persistence and under his countless gentle words, Furry Pancake, who had never experienced such a thing, finally took notice of Erniu.

For the first time, doubt appeared in its large eyes. This was also the first time it allowed the captain to get within 100 feet of it.

The captain, seeing this, felt excited internally. He experienced a feeling reminiscent of when he gradually approached Li Shitao. So, while eating peaches, he soothingly spoke in a gentle voice, attempting to get closer once again.

However, Furry Pancake was very vigilant. Just as the captain was about to get close, its entire body flashed with light and it was about to teleport the captain.

The captain panicked and quickly spoke.

”Big Fur, you dropped something.”

As he spoke, the captain endured his heartache and took out a small piece of Crimson Goddessʼ flesh. It was even smaller than a fingernail.

As soon as the flesh appeared, Furry Pancakeʼs gaze froze and its vigilance relaxed a little. Taking advantage of this instance, the captain took the flesh and finally arrived in front of Furry Pancake.

He fed this piece of meat to Furry Pancake. Taking advantage of the moment the pancake swallowed it, he used all his strength to grab hundreds of blue hairs on Furry Pancakeʼs body and pulled with all his might.

With a cracking sound, these hundreds of hairs directly broke. The stimulation caused Furry Pancakeʼs entire body to tremble, and a sea of light erupted from it.

In an instant, the surrounding clouds and fog were teleported away, and the captainʼs figure also disappeared without a trace.

However, this time was different from the past. After emitting the light of teleportation, Furry Pancake didnʼt continue to play leisurely like before. Its large eyes revealed anger, as though it had been deceived. It continued to erupt with the light of teleportation, causing the sky to brighten.

Immediately after, its body suddenly rushed out, chasing after traces. It locked onto a direction and crossed the void.

Hence, in the following days, the people of Taiʼan County saw a shocking scene.

In the sky, Furry Pancake erupted with a sea of light as it chased after a figure. Every time it caught up, it would open its mouth and instantly devour it, chewing with all its might. However, very soon, it seemed to sense that the figure wasnʼt the main body.

Hence, it continued to search and devour angrily.

The cycle repeated endlessly.

As for the miserable cries of the person being chased and tortured, they also echoed in all directions many times.

The cultivators of Fenghai County also saw this scene. All of them had strange expressions. Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu sighed with emotion and werenʼt surprised.

Zi Xuan ignored it.

Xu Qing sighed. In his temporary residence, he looked at the blue worm in front of him and shook his head.

”Eldest Senior Brother, is it worth it?”

This blue worm was the size of a finger and had a human head. It was the captain.

At this moment, his expression was still smug.

”Of course itʼs worth it. Itʼs fine, itʼs fine. I guess Furry is a female. Itʼs normal for her to lose her temper, so I prepared a few clones to play with her.”

”However, the harvest this time is definitely worth it!”

”Little Qing, this teleportation array isnʼt simple. Under the fragmented-faceʼs gaze, it should have turned into a forbidden zone but it directly activated and transformed into a living being. Such a mutation is rare. This is equivalent to the fragmented-faceʼs descendant.”

”Its body definitely possesses some characteristics of the fragmented-face!”

”So, donʼt just focus on the fact that I spent a grain of Crimson Goddessʼ flesh. The significance of those dozen hairs is more important than anything else.”

”As long as youʼre happy.” Xu Qing didnʼt want to bother with it anymore. After saying that, he closed his eyes and silently meditated.

Seeing this, the worm that the captain had transformed into crawled to the side and lay there comfortably. In his heart, he was thinking about how to make use of the hairs to maximize his benefits.

Just like that, as Furry Pancake continued to bite crazily in the sky, time slowly passed. Very soon, another seven days passed. Furry Pancakeʼs anger still didnʼt dissipate but its sleeping time had arrived.

Even though it was unwilling, it still had no choice but to return to the Ningyang province. When it returned to the ground, it retracted its fur and transformed into an ancient array again, motionless.

It was also time for Xu Qing and the others to leave.

Hence, while Taiʼan County was on guard, Xu Qing and the others arrived at the array formation. As light shone, the teleportation was activated.

The moment they teleported, the array formation suddenly shook a few times. It was as though the sleeping Furry Pancake had sensed the aura that made it furious. It wanted to wake up but was unable to do so.

Finally, amidst the unwilling light of the array formation, everyoneʼs figures disappeared from Taiʼan County.

After that, their journey crossed many large regions and they teleported several times. There were occasional twists and turns but it was still considered smooth overall. Finally, three months later, their figures appeared on the teleportation array in the last county.

This county was called Nanxin. It was the enclave closest to the Grand Imperial Capital Region and was located in the Gray Sea Region.

The sea in the Grey Sea Region was different from regular seas. Because of the perennial dispersion of dandelion-like floating flowers, the ground was covered with gray cotton for most of the year, resembling a sea from a distance, hence the name.

At first glance, it was similar to the white wind in the Bitter Life Mountain Range, but the essence was clearly different.

When Xu Qing and his party appeared, it was the season where the cotton started separating from the flowers. The sky was filled with drifting cotton, and when the wind blew, it formed an endless sea of gray that covered the land.

It glanced beautiful but to all living beings living here, this was actually an indescribable disaster.

If too much of the gray cotton that filled the sky was absorbed into oneʼs body, it would speed up the withering of oneʼs life. Hence, the myriad races living here either formed a protective barrier around their bodies at all times or wore something to cover themselves.

It was also the characteristics of this large region that caused most of the living beings here to be silent.

When Xu Qing and the others appeared, this was what they saw and felt.

Unlike Taiʼan County, their arrival didnʼt cause Nanxin County to be on guard. Most of the cultivators guarding the array formation in this county were lazy.

This scene didnʼt only appear in Nanxin County. In reality, the further away they were from Fenghai County, the less vigilance they saw. Clearly, because of the distance, even if the matter in the Holy Wave Large Region spread, it would be very difficult to cause much commotion.

After all, it had nothing to do with them as they were too far away.

Nanxin County was closest to the Grand Imperial Capital Region, so their relationship with the Imperial Capital was naturally closer than the other counties. There were even some marginalized nobles living here.

Xu Qing and the others didnʼt pay much attention to this. After walking out of the teleportation array, they didnʼt plan to go out. Instead, they prepared to quickly set up the teleportation array as before for the final teleportation.

This place was only one teleportation away from the Grand Imperial Capital Region.

”Weʼre about to reach the Grand Imperial Capital Region.”

Xu Qing glanced into the distance. Through the scattered gray cotton, he stared in the direction of the Grand Imperial Capital Region.

”Huang Yan mentioned a sister who is also in this county.”

Xu Qing retracted his gaze. He didnʼt know how to find the other party. However, according to Huang Yanʼs explanation, his feather should be able to make his sister aware, allowing her to come on her own.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing looked around. Finally, his stare landed on Ning Yan.

Ning Yanʼs expression was different from when he was in the other counties. Here, he seemed to be very uneasy and even a little nervous. After noticing Xu Qingʼs gaze, he took a deep breath and barely calmed down. He quickly walked over and spoke in a low voice.

”Boss, I sensed my third sisterʼs bloodline aura… She didnʼt hide it, so itʼs very clear. I think she sensed me too.”

”Princess Anhai?” The image of the princess he had met at the Seventh Princeʼs place appeared in Xu Qingʼs mind.

”I have a rough idea why she would appear here. Itʼs because in Nanxin County, thereʼs an elder who served as the wet nurse for the Third Princess and the Fifth Prince.”

”Because the Third Princess and the Fifth Prince had outstanding achievements when they reached adulthood, the Human Emperor specially allowed her to retire in this county. This is also that elderʼs hometown.”

As Ning Yan spoke, a form flew over from the distant horizon. It shuttled through the gray sea and emerged in front of Xu Qing and the others, transforming into a maidservant.

This maidservantʼs stare was sharp and her cultivation was extraordinary. After she appeared, the first people she glanced at were Li Yunshan and Zi Xuan. After that, she looked at Xu Qing and her expression was clearly restrained. Finally, she looked at Ning Yan beside him.

She lowered her head slightly and bowed before speaking slowly.

”Greetings, Twelfth Highness.”

”The princess is accompanying Granny Sun to arrange a banquet. She sensed the aura of the Twelfth Prince, so she ordered this servant to come and invite you.”
