Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 124

With a casual wave of Nangong Yin's hand, both she and Yan Zhao gently descended from the back of the roc bird, landing as lightly as snowflakes on the ground. The roc bird flapped its wings and flew off into the distance. Yan Zhao watched it leave and asked Nangong Yin, "Where is it going?"

Without turning back, Nangong Yin replied in a soft voice, "It will go where it needs to."

Yan Zhao didn't know where the roc bird was supposed to go, but she didn't dwell on it. After they landed, another roc bird descended from the sky.

Lei Shuang was the first to land, followed by Jiang Ying and Feng Jin, each appearing from different directions, surrounding Nangong Yin and Yan Zhao protectively.

No one seemed surprised to see Yan Zhao had changed her appearance. Given Nangong Yin's infamous reputation and enemies spread far and wide, many eyes were likely watching their journey to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. Having someone with a face that resembled Immortal Lord Yuanqing suddenly appear beside Nangong Yin would draw far too much attention.

Lei Shuang shook her head and secretly discussed the reason with Feng Jin using voice transmission, only to get a sharp stomp from Jiang Ying as she walked by.

"Why did you step on me?" Lei Shuang glared angrily at Jiang Ying. "What did I do to provoke you?!"

Jiang Ying glanced at her with pity for her lack of intelligence. "If you can't figure it out, stop guessing. Didn't you get hit enough the last time?"

Lei Shuang muttered, "...Hmph."

After more than four months, Bai Jin and Tu Shan Yu finally emerged from the Mist Demon Ravine. The two arrived at a nearby immortal town and rested at an inn for the night.

Communication between realms couldn't be done through spirit jade, so they had no idea what had transpired in the human realm over the past four months. Naturally, they didn't know if the Fox Emperor had found his daughter yet.

The next morning, Tu Shan Yu took Bai Jin to the Spirit Feast Hall of the Medicine God Sect to gather information.

"You're asking about the Fox Emperor? Isn't he in Qingqiu? Why would he appear in the human realm?" The innkeeper shook his head. "You'd better ask elsewhere."

"...," Tu Shan Yu sighed and stepped aside to speak to Bai Jin. "This place is too remote and out of touch. Perhaps we should head to the Taixu Immortal Domain first."

Bai Jin rested her chin on her hand, playing with a brocade pouch, puzzled. "Still no word from my uncle?"

Tu Shan Yu shook his head. "I sent a message to my father, but he hasn't responded either."

"Then let's go to the Taixu Immortal Domain first." Bai Jin stood up, and they left the inn together.

When they reached the street, they saw a crowd gathered around a notice board in front of the immortal market.

The Immortal Alliance had posted a new notice.

Tu Shan Yu and Bai Jin squeezed through the crowd to see what it said.

"Someone spotted Nangong Yin's roc bird near the Xuanhuang Secret Realm," Tu Shan Yu summarized the notice for Bai Jin. "The Xuanhuang Secret Realm... it's not far from the Misty Sea Immortal Mountain!"

Tu Shan Yu patted Bai Jin's shoulder. "Jin'er, let's go there first. If this news is true, then Nangong Yin is likely about to open the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, and many will flock to it."

Bai Jin frowned as she glanced at the notice. "We should focus on finding my cousin first."

"I haven't forgotten," Tu Shan Yu explained patiently. "Going there is part of finding her."
