The rooster was strutting around the square. Upon seeing Chu Mo, its eyes widened instantly. With a pecking gait, it had run toward Chu Mo and sized him up. "How can you pop up in a place like this, boy?"

"Why are you here?" Chu Mo was equally astonished to see the rooster here. "Aren't you supposed to be waiting for me in the town?"

"Bullshit! Are you really ignorant or just playing dumb?" The rooster glared at Chu Mo, looking quite disgruntled.

"So, those bastards...couldn't resist making a move on you so soon?" Chu Mo asked with a smile.

Seeing the rooster here indicated that it hadn't run into any trouble. After all, given Chu Mo's understanding of it, it rarely got the short end of the stick. It was for the most part just because of the rooster's negligence that it fell prey to those in Lonely City a few days ago.

"Yeah, those bastards..." The rooster cursed, then bragged, "Luckily, I was shrewd enough to detect the bad situation, caught them off guard, and eliminated a fair number of them before making my great escape."

"You wiped out quite a few of them?" Chu Mo was genuinely surprised.

"What's with that look? Don't believe in my abilities?" The rooster said disgruntledly, "I've finished off all the lackeys they left behind in the town. They really thought they could catch me, how naive!"

"Did the people from 'One Sword' and Beyond Heaven... also make a move against you?" Chu Mo's face darkened. Although the rooster was seemingly nonchalant and somewhat conceited, Chu Mo could imagine the danger the rooster might have faced.

The rooster's combat power was actually quite terrible, and its state, even more so, was hard to determine. Chu Mo always had a feeling that the rooster's prowess was sealed, as it was nothing like Huang Hui, who possessed the congenital realm. The rooster had no Congenital Qi, yet its combat strength was almost at the congenital level.

But the rooster had never admitted to such things, and Chu Mo did not inquire too much.

"No, One Sword and Beyond Heaven haven't laid a finger on me, and I haven't touched their people either." The rooster responded with a sly grin, "Because of this, these two factions and the bastards from Lonely City and Beyond Heaven, are all in a tangle now."

Chu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, then asked, "So where are you now?"

The rooster responded, "In a very safe place, rest assured, there's no danger for me."

"That's good," Chu Mo nodded, feeling relieved.

"By the way, Miss Miao showed up here a couple of days ago, and now you're here. Has something happened in the Mortal Realm?" The rooster looked at Chu Mo in confusion.

"You saw Sister Yiniang?" Chu Mo asked.

The rooster shook its head, "It was Miss Qin who saw her. I just arrived here today."

At this moment, Qin Shi and Dong Yu, who had been cultivating inside the palace, rushed over.

From a distance, Dong Yu looked overjoyed, "You're finally here! How come you haven't shown up in so long? I was about to be bored to death."

No particular emotion showed on Qin Shi's face. She was always like this, cool on the outside, warm on the inside.

Chu Mo smiled at Dong Yu, then said, "Bored? How about joining me for a trip to the Mortal Realm?"

"Of course, of course! I've been wanting to visit for a long time!" Dong Yu excitedly replied.

Qin Shi glances helplessly at Dong Yu, "You should be cultivating."

Dong Yu's delicate face fell instantly, pouting, "Cultivation is so boring... now I even doubt what brought me to such a high state of cultivation originally?"

Qin Shi lightly responded, "Family."

Dong Yu rolled her eyes, "Should you really be so blunt?"

Qin Shi looked at her expressionlessly, then turned to Chu Mo, "Oh yes. Yiniang stopped by a couple of days ago. She told us to inform you that she had obtained an unimaginable blessed chance. She's doing well, and you don't need to worry about her."

"Yes, yes, she told us that she received an incredible legacy!" Dong Yu quickly added.

Knowing that Miao Yi Niang was safe, Chu Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The rooster then said, "By the way, why did you suddenly leave the Mortal Realm to come here? Just to confirm the safety of Miss Miao?"

Chu Mo responded, "There are other things that I need to investigate."

The rooster looked at Chu Mo, "About the Mortal Realm?"

Chu Mo nodded in affirmation.

The rooster looked a little strange, "Are you sure... the person you're looking for knows more about the Mortal Realm than I do?"

Both Qin Shi and Dong Yu looked on. They both seemed to have some recollection of the term "Mortal Realm," but they couldn't quite remember. They had recently acquired quite a bit of information about themselves through the message board, but the feelings were quite strange.

It felt as if they were observing someone else's affairs. They themselves didn't have any strong feelings about it.

Chu Mo glanced at the rooster, "Certainly knows more than you!" He then turned to Qin Shi and Dong Yu, "Wait here, I will get you some elixirs to restore your soul."

-After saying this, without staying any longer, Chu Mo left the palace directly.

The rooster rolled its eyes and walked away, mumbling to itself.

Qin Shi and Dong Yu looked at each other, Dong Yu commented, "He's always so mysterious."

Qin Shi nodded in agreement, she too felt that Chu Mo had many secrets.

But they both agreed on one thing unequivocally - Chu Mo was a good person.

Chu Mo left the palace, recited a mnemonic, and appeared directly in the Illusions Hall in Illusionist City, where the Realm Spirit had carved out a separate room for him.

As soon as Chu Mo showed up, the Realm Spirit appeared.

The Realm Spirit seemed a little surprised to see Chu Mo, "You haven't been here for a long time, nor have you gone find the Five Elements, what have you been busy with?"

"I've been in the Mortal Realm," Chu Mo answered.

"You went into the Mortal Realm?" The Realm Spirit looked somewhat surprised, asking Chu Mo, "How was it? Did you gain anything?"

Chu Mo shook his head with a bitter smile, "That truly is a place of great peril. We didn't venture far before facing heavy losses..."

Chu Mo then narrated the experiences after entering the Mortal Realm to the Realm Spirit.

"Huang Hui said she was born in the Mortal Realm, and then left. She should not be lying because, unlike the rooster who is also a Beast Cultivator, she could enter the Mortal Realm easily. She once transformed into a little dog and stayed by my side for quite a while," Chu Mo explained.

"You mean...when she transforms into a beast form, she looks like a little dog?" The Realm Spirit asked with a strange expression, looking at Chu Mo as if he was seeing a monster, "And then...she still remembers that she was born in the Mortal Realm? Born, right?"

The Realm Spirit seemed to be confirming something, he asked again.

"That's right, that's what she said." Chu Mo replied.

"She's safe. The Mortal Realm is as safe as her home," the Realm Spirit told Chu Mo. (To be continued... If you like this story, please go to qidian.com and cast your recommendation votes or monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users can go to m.qidian.com to read.)
