Chapter 76: Short Little Legs

Zhou Lanting did not stop him. Although Yi Qianmo was less skilled than he was, when it came to cleverness, he felt somewhat ashamed. Sometimes he really wondered if an old monster lived inside Yi Qianmo’s body.

"I have a favor to ask you. Do you know the Disguise Skill?"

Yi Qianmo suddenly asked.

"Why do you need the Disguise Skill?"

Zhou Lanting looked puzzled, but soon understood what he meant, "Are you afraid?"

"I’m not really afraid, but I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble along the way."

Yi Qianmo said, "After all, we haven’t even warmed up to what we have in our hands after offending the prince of Yan Kingdom."

Actually, Yi Qianmo wanted the Disguise Skill, not because he was afraid of the Yan Kingdom prince, but because he was scared of the Tang family coming after him.

Su Yucheng may be very capable, but as long as Su Muyu is around, he can’t do anything about it. Perhaps one day when Su Yucheng really finds him and discovers that he is his "uncle," he will have to greet him with a smile, just like when he took his storage bag on the ship before.

"The Disguise Skill is a small trick, but if you really want to fool a cultivator, you need to study it very carefully!"

Zhou Lanting immediately took out a jade slip, "This is the method for changing appearance from my demon sect."

Yi Qianmo happily accepted it.

A few days later, they arrived at the capital of Yan Kingdom. Compared to this capital city, Green Cloud City looked like a small hut.

Because they always had to guard against the invasion of the northern barbarians, the capital was well-armed, making it feel like a giant fortress. Besides the main city, there were four outer cities.

Surrounding the outer cities was a moat that encircled the entire capital. The water was diverted from the Yan River, and the moat was large enough for big ships to pass through.

Merchant ships coming from the south of Yan Kingdom would stop at the dock of the outer city. If it weren’t for the nighttime attack before, Yi Qianmo would likely have taken Su Yucheng’s ship to the protected capital.

There are no checkpoints outside Kyoto, so as long as you don’t boldly carry forbidden weapons, anyone can enter the city.

After Yi Qianmo and Zhou Lanting entered Kyoto, they chose an inn to stay in, called Tingyu Tavern, which was picked by Zhou Lanting herself.

This is not the largest inn in Kyoto, but it gathers all kinds of people from the city, making it the best place to gather information. Any news or rumors from outside will quickly be known here.

When they first arrived, there were three things that people talked about the most in Tingyu Tavern. One was about the important exam at Tianyuan Academy, the second was related to Yi Qianmo, concerning him as the Prince Consort.

For example, there were stories about how he won the heart of Grand Princess Su Muyu, as well as the strange details of his background, without forgetting his connections to the Tang family of Qin Land.

Some even said that the Yi family was a spy sent by the Tang family of Qin Land to Yan Kingdom, because the Qin Kingdom in the west was currently very powerful and ambitious.

The third topic, however, was related to the demon sect, talking about how the Blood Demon Sect had lost a treasure and was now searching for it everywhere!

Although all three topics had some connection to Yi Qianmo, he only paid attention to the exam and ignored the other two.

However, he and Zhou Lanting both entered their rooms. Zhou Lanting needed to digest the Heavenly Demon Pill to increase her strength.

Yi Qianmo also had his own plans. After he entered the room, he quickly opened the storage bag and took out all the boxes inside.

This prince of the Yan Kingdom had quite a collection. Inside the jade box were some rare healing herbs. Yi Qianmo glanced around and discovered that he had all the materials to make the Body Origin Fixing Pill.

Besides that, there were over a thousand spirit stones. Although he didn’t know how long it took Su Yucheng to collect them, even if he was the prince of Yan Kingdom, losing so many spirit stones would surely cause him great pain.

Just as Yi Qianmo was counting his gains, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his chest. Following that, a flash of white light appeared, and a fluffy creature landed on the table.

With a "gududu" sound, Old Bai opened his bright blue eyes and curiously looked at the things on the table.

Then, the spirit stones in the box suddenly floated up, and Old Bai opened his big mouth. Thousands of spirit stones of all sizes entered Old Bai’s mouth.

"Chirp chirp!"

After swallowing the spirit stones, Old Bai let out a satisfied burp and stared at Yi Qianmo with big cute eyes, as if asking, "Is there more?"

At that moment, Yi Qianmo finally realized what had happened. Seeing that all the spirit stones were gone, he raised his hand and tried to hit Old Bai, but Old Bai quickly transformed into a flash of light and dodged away.

The table was broken into many pieces, and the boxes on top fell everywhere. Old Bai, who had moved aside, floated in the air, baring its teeth. Its white appearance stood out, and its eyes glowed a dark blue, staring fiercely at him, as if ready to fight.

"After eating my spirit stone, you think you have a reason to be upset!!!"

Yi Qianmo chased after and pretended to hit, saying, "The things I risked my life to get, you just swallowed them all! At least leave me a little! I won’t call you Old Bai anymore; I’ll call you Blackie, you black-hearted fiend!"

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp…"

Floating in the air, Old Bai bared its teeth, dodging while yelling at Yi Qianmo, as if they were having a fierce argument. As it shouted, its body shook slightly.

Suddenly, four little short arms stretched out from its fluffy white body.

Seeing Yi Qianmo so angry, Old Bai dropped to the ground, supporting its heavy body with its short legs, waddling on the ground, looking very tired.

Suddenly, it stopped in front of one of the boxes, reached out with its short arms, and struggled to lift the box, floating it towards Yi Qianmo.

"Chirp!"

Old Bai held the box and yelled at Yi Qianmo.

Yi Qianmo then noticed that this box was the old-fashioned one he had looked at while examining the storage bag.

It looked very ordinary, not even a jade box, just a simple wooden box tied with a cloth ribbon.

"I will settle this with you later!"

Yi Qianmo shot it an annoyed glance and immediately opened the box, revealing a clear crystal ball inside.

His intuition told him that this was not an ordinary crystal ball; he immediately infused it with spiritual power, but the crystal ball did not react at all.

He thought for a moment, bit his finger to draw some blood, and let a drop fall on it, but the blood did not blend into the crystal ball; it just slid down the smooth surface and fell to the ground.

"What a piece of junk!"

Yi Qianmo originally thought about throwing the crystal ball onto the ground, holding the box, and examining it closely, "Could it be that this box has something special?"

Before his thoughts entered, he felt that the box was unusual, but at this moment, that feeling disappeared.

He carefully examined it, tried many methods, and finally smashed the box, but still saw nothing special.

"Could it be my imagination?"

Looking at the pile of wood shavings on the ground, Yi Qianmo began to think deeply.

Just then, Old Bai landed on the ground, stretched out its tiny short arms, and picked up the pearl, floating it in front of Yi Qianmo.

Thinking about how he had swallowed thousands of spirit stones, Yi Qianmo was very angry and said, "Leave me alone, or I will hit you…"

Before he could finish saying "you," Old Bai, holding the crystal ball, let out a loud "cheep" towards Yi Qianmo, then began to touch the crystal ball with its short arms.

Suddenly, patterns began to shine on the crystal ball, and those patterns formed a complete picture.
