Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 68: The Birds’ Twitter and the Fragrance of Flowers

Common centipedes, scorpions, and vultures from the deserted land had all transformed into beastkin. Even a mouse showed a strange smile and said in human words, “Human…”

“Bang!” Qin Yi smashed it without saying a word.

Whether beastkins can be communicated, it depends mainly on whether they look cute or not, right? How dare you centipede and mouse terrorize people?

The mouse was smashed flat. It had bristles like a hedgehog, which exploded.

Qin Yi stood in front of Cheng Cheng and deflected all the bristles.

Cheng Cheng looked at his back silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was a slight tremor in the ground.

Qin Yi turned around quickly and pushed Cheng Cheng away. Where she was standing, a scorpion pincer thrust straight up, then a poisonous scorpion came up from the ground.

Qin Yi hugged Cheng Cheng and rolled on the ground several times. He didn’t even have time to experience the charm, then he immediately jumped up and raised his stick to perform a jumping attack.

Mace and the scorpion’s pincer collided. The scorpion hissed in pain, and its pincer was broken.

At the same time, the long scorpion tail swung over with a green poisonous light. Qin Yi rolled to dodge, and the scorpion’s head was smashed by the mace, spraying green venom all over the sky.

Liu Su secretly praised that this guy was really getting more and more skilled in fighting. He finished the battle in one go.

Moreover, his fighting styles were very barbaric, which was in great contrast with Qin Yi’s handsome appearance. From the appearance, Qin Yi was clearly a handsome young man who should be using a long sword with ease. However, he picked up a mace and developed such fighting styles…

Liu Su firmly refused to admit that it was the one who taught him this.

Qin Yi got up and reached out to pull Cheng Cheng, “Are you okay?”

Cheng Cheng looked at his hand and put her slender hand on it. She stood up with the help and shook his head to express that she was fine.

Her delicate hands were smooth and soft, but Qin Yi didn’t have any thought holding her hand. He pulled her up and let go, then he adjusted his breathing slightly. He looked at the Beastkin City in the distance, secretly thinking was no wonder Cheng Cheng didn’t dare to return on her own and had to ask him to escort her.

This place is too chaotic.

After fighting his way through, they saw green land in the distance. It was already winter, and he didn’t know what kind of plants they were, but Cheng Cheng looked joyful. Qin Yi was also a little happy in his heart. Anyone who had stayed in such a deserted land full of poisonous insects and beastkins for a few days would probably be very happy to see an oasis.

“Are we close?” Qin Yi asked.

Cheng Cheng nodded happily.

Qin Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. According to Cheng Cheng’s previous explanation, there was less chaos after entering the green land. After all, it was a place controlled by the Beastkin Kings. The beastkins in the city also lived a normal life.

“Let’s go.” Qin Yi took Cheng Cheng’s hand and sprinted.

Cheng Cheng sprinted along, but her eyes looked at the hand she was holding from time to time with a strange look.

The land under their feet had begun to consist of sand and gravel mixed with a few green grasses. As they went forward, the plants were getting more and more. There were lush grasses and trees, blooming flowers, and the sound of flowing water from the river. Qin Yi almost burst into tears. Compared with the environment a few days ago, this was an immortal land!

The only difference from the human world was that in such an environment there would have been birds chirping and cicadas chirping, but when Qin Yi raised his head, he only saw a few birds with human faces. They squatted on the tree trunks and looked at him like watching a rare species.

“It’s a human being.”

“Coming from outside?”

“I’ve never seen such clothes before.”

“The girl’s clothes belong to us. I recognize them. The last time I saw someone wearing them, they seemed to be worn by rich people.”

“A rich man in the city abducted a man from outside?”

“This is amazing. Is the human flesh out there delicious?”

The birds began to argue whether local meat or exotic meat was better.

A voice came from under the tree, “It should be about the same. He smells bad. Seems like he hasn’t cleaned himself up for a long time.”

Then, Qin Yi saw a small flower raising its head and saying to the birds, “Don’t argue. King said we need humans to work. We can’t eat them casually. We have to take it to the Craft Department for appraisal before eating.”

This must be the birds’ twitter and the fragrance of flowers… Qin Yi covered her head in pain.

Cheng Cheng smiled at him awkwardly as if to apologize.

Qin Yi waved his hand. Although these flowers and birds talked about eating human, they were not as direct as those scorpions outside. Of course, he would not cause trouble in this dangerous place by himself.

“Miss Cheng, judging from what these flowers and birds say, you seem to identify with one of their own. In this case, you can probably go back by yourself.” Qin Yi cupped his hand and bowed, “Qin Yi has other important matters, so I won’t go in with you. See you.”

Cheng Cheng pulled his sleeve and looked at him with watery eyes as if she was reluctant to let him leave.

Qin Yi shook his head and turned to leave.

Although he really wanted to visit the Beastkin City, he was really not strong enough to go there now.

At this moment, a frivolous voice came from not far away, “Hey, whose domesticated human girl is this, actually having an affair with a man outside?”

Cheng Cheng hid behind Qin Yi nervously.

Qin Yi slowly turned his head and saw a beastkin with a human body and a leopard head, accompanied by several followers with human bodies and dog heads. All of them were wearing human clothes.

This was the first time Qin Yi saw something like this. All he had seen before were beast bodies and human faces, including the flowers and birds around him. He didn’t know what this human body and beast face represented.

“It just means that they find it convenient to live in human form, but they are proud of their status as beastkins, so they deliberately transformed into this look.” Liu Su said leisurely, “In fact, in the eyes of the outside world, they are even more lower level and stupid.”

Qin Yi nodded in agreement. Beast body and a human face had a strange spirituality. The gods worshiped by many tribes had this appearance. No one dared to look down upon them.

But if one had a human body and a dog’s head, he was called a kobold, a low-level species.

The leopard-headed beastkin came closer and clapped his hands with a folding fan, “According to the law, human slaves who run away can be eaten by beastkin. You woman is really daring.”

Cheng Cheng couldn’t speak and made babbling gestures to prove that she was not running away.

Even the birds on the tree said, “She is coming back from outside. How could she be running away?”

“Shut up!” The leopard-headed beastkin glared at the tree as if he wanted to attack, but he was worried about something, so he held it back. He continued to say to Cheng Cheng, “Human girl, Whose escaped slave are you?”

Cheng Cheng kept waving her hands, trying to say that he was not ab escaped way slave.

The leopard-headed beastkin waved his hand impatiently as if he was too lazy to communicate with the mute, then all the kobolds behind him laughed and gathered around.

Cheng Cheng shrank tighter behind Qin Yi.

Qin Yi sighed. She is not a slave at all. The birds said her clothes are worn by rich people. Human beings are hard-working and intelligent, and they can flatter and help, so it is normal for some humans to be able to get a good status and money in the beastkin realm. It is impossible for all of them to be slaves. I always feel that Cheng Cheng is most likely a young lady from this kind of family.

Besides, even if she’s a runaway slave, does that give you, a lowlife animal, the right to bully her?

In fact, this scene is very familiar. I have read so many novels. Who wouldn’t know that you are attracted by her beauty and looking for an excuse to cause trouble? I can tell by looking at that lustful look in your eyes. Do you think you have a look of pure admiration like me?

Just fight then.

Qin Yi held his mace tightly and stared coldly at the kobolds surrounding him, judging their cultivation level in his mind.

It shouldn’t be too high… but the leopard-headed beastkin may be a little stronger than me, so I need to be strategic…

“Hoh…” The leopard-headed beastkin smiled, “The little eyes of this human man are very interesting… A human martial artist, in this city of thousands of beastkins, carrying a mace, hahaha…”

As if it was really a funny thing, he laughed louder and louder, almost rolling on the ground.

At this moment, raging black flames suddenly appeared in Qin Yi’s arms and swept toward the leopard-headed beastkin, accompanied by an angry and childish female voice, “Ugly monster, you’re too noisy!”

Qin Yi was overjoyed.

TL: Now he can stroll the Beasktin City?
