Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 790 World 338

"You stay on the spirit boat, don't ask questions or look around, I'll take care of the rest."

Shen Ruwan refused to let Shen Ruyin get involved in the matter again, so she parked the spirit boat outside the city and went back herself.

Shen Ruyin sat on the spirit boat without any problem, but Yu Xing, who was usually lively, couldn't stand it anymore.

Back when we were on Beast Taming Peak, it was free to roam around, but after we came out, its range of activity became restricted.

While in the village, there were mountains and forests to enjoy, but once they entered the city, it spent almost all its time on the spirit boat with Shen Ruyin.

Although Yu Xing enjoys spending time with Shen Ruyin, it doesn't mean it doesn't want to do other things.

Shen Ruyin guessed that her sister would be back soon, so she moved the spirit boat to a spot above a mountain forest before letting it go down to play.

After leaving the spirit boat, Yu Xing quickly climbed a tree, stretched out his body in the moonlight, and all the hair on his body shook up, making him look exceptionally energetic.

Yu Xing looked up at Shen Ruyin, her beautiful eyes filled with the words "Come and play!"

Shen Ruyin was so charmed by it that she decided to get off the spirit boat and use her lightness skill to stop on a treetop in another location.

Seeing Shen Ruyin come down, Yu Xing was even happier. It jumped to the top of another tree in a few leaps and even turned back to signal Shen Ruyin to come and chase it.

Shen Ruyin chased after it, but Yu Xing ran even faster. If you weren't looking carefully, you could only see a shadow.

Shen Ruyin looked at it with a smile, unaware that a pair of eyes were watching this scene from the forest below, before quietly disappearing into the darkness.

Shen Ruyin was chasing Yu Xing when she stepped on a branch that Yu Xing had stepped on. The branch seemed to come alive and pressed down on her.

Fortunately, Shen Ruyin reacted quickly and immediately gathered her energy and swelled up.

But the shade of the trees above quickly blocked her path, and for a moment it seemed as if she could not even see the sky.

"Tree spirit?" Shen Ruyin murmured, but there was only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and no response.

“No,” Shen Ruyin noticed that the ground had turned into quicksand and dared not fall to the ground easily.

Given the previous problems with the trees, she dared not climb them.

Shen Ruyin looked around, then took out a spirit sword, gestured at the air above, and charged upwards with the sword.

The trees that surrounded her intended to stop her, but Shen Ruyin's attack was swift and her sword was no slouch either. They managed to break through the encirclement and send Shen Ruyin flying back into the air.

Shen Ruyin had no intention of fighting the thing that was controlling the trees; she was only worried about Yu Xing, who had been running ahead of her.

Fortunately, upon seeing her appear, Yu Xing ran back on her own, threw herself into her arms, and anxiously expressed her concern.

Yu Xing was having a great time playing with Shen Ruyin when it turned around and found that she was gone. No matter how much it called, there was no response, and it was very worried.

Shen Ruyin rubbed Yu Xing's head: "Something's wrong here. You should go back to the spirit boat first."

Yu Xing acted as if she hadn't heard anything, standing on her head and warily looking around.

When Shen Ruyin urged her again, Yu Xing gently patted her head with his soft pad and sent her a message.

Don't worry, I've got your back. Let's see who dares to act arrogantly in front of me!

Yu Xing is young, and her voice is that of a child.

Normally, the voice it conveyed to Shen Ruyin was soft, sweet, and cloying, but today it unusually carried a powerful tone.

Shen Ruyin stopped trying to persuade it and instead said, "Then thank you very much, Yuxing."

Although Yu Xing still dared not relax, the tip of its tail quietly stood up.

After Shen Ruyin emerged from seclusion, Yu Xing's tail had grown from one to two. However, it grew slowly on ordinary days, and with the large tail covering it, it was not very noticeable.

Yuxing was in a good mood at the moment, so it was rare for it to see the light of day.

With Yu Xing protecting her, Shen Ruyin focused her attention for a moment and finally found the anomaly. She drew her sword and went to investigate, but was blocked by a barrier erected by spiritual energy.

After the barrier disappeared, an old man resembling the Earth God appeared, with a benevolent face, and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Seeing that the aura seemed to be closely connected to the local mountains and forests, Shen Ruyin stopped what she was doing and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man said, "I am a local mountain spirit. Just now, I saw the fairy chasing this little fox and thought she was a bad person, so I tried to stop her to save the little fox."

"Later, seeing how close the fairy and the little fox were, I realized that I had been wrong, so I came to apologize to the fairy."

Shen Ruyin picked Yu Xing up and said, "So that's how it is. You meant well, so there's no need to apologize. We were the ones who disturbed your peace."

Shen Ruyin remained suspended in the air, never touching the ground, and never turning her back to the old man.

The old man seemed oblivious to Shen Ruyin's wariness and warmly invited her, "It was my fault for acting rashly without properly investigating, causing the fairy to be frightened."

"I have fine wine in my mountains. I hope the fairy will give me a chance to properly apologize."

“Fine wine and spirits are unnecessary,” Shen Ruyin said. “I’m only staying here temporarily and will be leaving soon.”

As they were talking, Shen Ruyin pretended to have heard something and said, "My fellow disciples are looking for me. I have to go now. Goodbye."

Shen Ruyin summoned the spirit boat, flipped herself onto it, activated the protective array, and quickly left.

The old man's smile faltered as he watched the departing spirit boat with longing, his face slowly crumbling.

His original figure, which looked full and healthy, now gradually melted away like mud, dripping down drop by drop.

The muddy water dripped down, and all the trees seemed unable to bear it, quickly trying to get away.

Those that fail to dodge in time will have their entire leaves melted and turned into even more mud if they get a speck of mud on them, which will then drip down again.

The mud and water all fell to the ground and solidified again into a clay figure without facial features.

A beautiful woman dressed in bright colors and wearing a few feathers on her head walked out amidst the fearful gazes of the mountain spirits.

“That child is overly cautious; she won’t come down even though it’s like this. It’s a waste that the Mountain God had the special opportunity to speak with her.”

The clay figure looked up at the sky in the direction Shen Ruyin had left, and after a long while said, "It's good that she's gone. Although I'm envious of those spirit beasts and spirit boats, this child can take them out so easily, so she must not be an ordinary cultivator."

"If she really comes down as a guest, we'll have to pay for a whole table of food and drinks."

The beautiful woman laughed: "The Mountain God sees things more clearly than I do."

As if pleased by her, the clay figure raised its hand and used its spiritual power to pluck a flower and present it to her.

The tree spirit, whose most beautiful flower had been plucked, couldn't help but scream in surprise before the mud spirit sucked away a few strands of its essence.

Instantly, the tree demon's leaves drooped down, and it lost its vitality.

Shen Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief after steering the spirit boat back to the previous location.

"Yinyin," Shen Ruwan said as she boarded the spirit boat, "Why did you activate all the defensive formations on the spirit boat? Did something happen?"
