Chapter 133: The Worries of a Queen
"Then let's head to the little valley and show Xiao Xian Le the place where we fell in love."
Gu Fei wrapped his arm around Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist. He had long noticed that Xiao Yi Xian wasn't really interested in the surroundings. He just wanted her to quietly enjoy the joy of returning home, so he didn't disturb her.
Xiao Xian Le was sound asleep in Xiao Yi Xian's arms, completely unaware of what they were talking about.
Afterward, the group left Qingshan Town and headed toward the small valley in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
In the vast sea of trees, the wind howled, making the forest sway like waves.
The howling sound spread throughout the entire mountain range, roaring like the crashing of waves.
Above the forest, the sound of something cutting through the air suddenly echoed. Then, several dark shadows flickered from the distance, and after a moment, they halted in the sky, their eyes scanning the area below.
"We've arrived!"
After searching for a while, Gu Fei's eyes caught sight of a secluded valley with no visible paths leading to it, hidden by lush trees.
"This is the valley where you two first met? It doesn't seem that special," Zi Yan said as she leaped into the air and hovered in the valley, observing it.
"If your cultivation level was below Dou King, you'd know how secretive this place is."
Gu Fei smiled. This valley had almost no accessible paths and could only be reached by flight.
If one couldn't fly, they would never find it, which made it so serene.
Queen Medusa, who was following behind Gu Fei, was curiously examining the area below.
She had always been curious about the place where Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian had once spent time together, and now she could finally see it with her own eyes.
"I wonder if it's still here," Xiao Yi Xian said as she floated into the valley. She took out a whistle.
This whistle hadn't been used in a long time, yet it remained as shiny as new, clearly indicating that Xiao Yi Xian often polished it.
Soon, she blew the whistle, and its melodious sound echoed through the valley. In response, a loud eagle's cry answered from a distance.
It was her long-separated friend, the first-rank magical beast, Blue Eagle.
Blue Eagle was only a first-rank flying magical beast.
When it arrived and sensed the powerful aura and bloodline pressure from Cai Lin, the Lion King, and Zi Yan, it was so frightened that it didn't dare approach.
Seeing this, Xiao Yixian flew onto the back of the Blue Eagle, gently hugging its neck. "Don't be afraid, they are all my friends. There's no danger..."
Under Xiao Yi Xian's guidance, the Blue Eagle finally flew to the group.
However, it still couldn't overcome its fear, not daring to meet Cai Lin and the others' eyes, and it stayed close to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Let's go inside and have a look!"
Xiao Yi Xian invited everyone into the valley.
The valley was filled with the rich scent of medicinal herbs, and the energy of heaven and earth was incredibly abundant, making everyone feel refreshed.
"This place, though it can't compare to the Gu Realm, is still quite rare in the outside world. It's a real treasure land," Cai Lin said with a smile.
"Not bad at all; it does smell nice."
Zi Yan also expressed her opinion.
However, since she had just claimed that there was nothing special about this place, her praise sounded rather perfunctory, as if she didn't want to contradict herself.
"You just don't want to contradict what you said earlier."
Zi Yan thought she could get away with it, but Qing Lin immediately called her out.
"Qing Lin, how could you not give me face!"
Zi Yan turned around and began to playfully wrestle with Qing Lin on the soft grass.
Gu Fei watched everyone with a smile on his face.
In the Gu Realm, they were guests and somewhat restrained in their actions.
But here, they didn't have any concerns and could be completely carefree.
As Gu Fei's gaze swept across the valley, he inadvertently noticed a certain spot.
There was an old thatched hut there, but it had been neglected for years, and the roof was covered in mold.
He and Xiao Yi Xian had once lived in that hut for some time, and it held many beautiful memories for them.
With this in mind, Gu Fei's Dou Qi surged, and within a few breaths, he built a small wooden house suitable for several people to live in.
Xiao Yi Xian came to Gu Fei's side, and Xiao Xian Le happened to wake up at that moment. She opened her eyes and looked outside, waving her little hands around and laughing gleefully in Xiao Yi Xian's arms, as if expressing her joy at being here.
"Xiao Xian Le, this is also one of our homes," Gu Fei said lovingly to her.
Afterward, everyone entered the temporary wooden house Gu Fei had built. Although the facilities inside were simple, everyone felt very comfortable living there.
For the next few days, they spent most of their time here, enjoying a rare period of tranquility.
Zi Yan would play around in the Magical Beast Mountain Range with the Lion King and Qing Lin. Given their strength, they completely dominated the nearby areas.
The originally peaceful Magical Beast Mountain Range was turned upside down by these three "beasts," causing havoc.
The high-rank magical beasts that had once ruled the mountain range experienced what it meant to be terrified.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian had Gu Fei and Xiao Xian Le by her side. Each day, she would stroll through the valley, reliving the happiness marked by the passage of time.
However, Cai Lin's eyes always carried a hint of melancholy and worry.
A few days later, Gu Fei approached her and softly asked, "Are you thinking about your people?"
"Yes."
Cai Lin initially wanted to hide her feelings, but when she saw Gu Fei's sincere gaze, she nodded firmly.
She had been away for quite some time now, nearly three years.
Three years was enough time for significant changes to occur in some places.
"This time when you return, are you thinking about taking your people out of the desert?"
Hearing Gu Fei voice her innermost thoughts, she looked at him in surprise.
She hadn't expected Gu Fei to understand her so well that he could see her worries from just a glance.
"Yes, it has always been my wish to lead my people out of that barren desert... This Magical Beast Mountain Range would be a good place, with its cool environment and abundant resources. It's very suitable for my people to live in. But..."
Gu Fei understood that Queen Medusa was worried about encountering resistance from the human empires. In the past, the Snake-People were forced into the Tager Desert by a coalition of human empires.
At that time, her strength was formidable, but the united power of the human empires was even stronger.
Faced with the siege of the armies from several human empires, the Snake-People had no choice but to retreat into the desert to preserve their race.
As the queen of the Snake-People, Cai Lin had always wished for her people to live in a more hospitable environment.
Back then, she lacked the strength, but now, she was already a Five-Star Dou Ancestor!
"Don't worry, your problem is my problem, and I will help you resolve it!"
Gu Fei gently held Queen Medusa in his arms. He was willing to be her support and solve all her problems.
The strength of a Dou Ancestor might not be enough to make the surrounding empires submit, but what about a Dou Venerate?
The nearby human empires likely didn't have any Dou Venerate-level experts, and even if they did, Gu Fei wouldn't care. Whoever dared to resist would simply be beaten into submission!
