Chapters. 56 - The Unwanted Spirit

The Xuanzhou city border region.

"Well, what a pity Xiao Xiao! I can't ride a horse and you can't seem to ride it because it's too small." Xun Ji'an said cheerfully though she herself could not bear the fatigue and would turn into a huge snake if it happened to her.

”I was like being held captive by a child predator.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao who was irritated at seeing Xun Ji'an who seemed completely useless to him. He could not even ride a horse and could not use the sword as a form of self-protection. If only something bad happened, what might Xun Ji'an do to defeat them.

"Xiao Xiao's! By the way, I don't really understand about you yet so, you might not mind answering, would you?" Xun Ji'an asked which made Mu Chen Xiao speechless as she watched him. "... If, Yan-Yan is not your Father, do you know who your Father and Mother are? Where are you from?"

Mu Chen Xiao was stunned and he lowered his head slightly. All this time, he had never seen the face of his father or mother. What he remembers now is the figure of an old firewood salesman who found it in the Luobing river and took care of it until he was five years old. He also never found someone who had the family surname 'Mu'. Maybe he's the only one still alive here.

"I've never seen them both. Ever since I was a baby I've been taken in by a firewood salesman and lived an abandoned life for two years." Mu Chen Xiao replied after a while he fell silent as he remembered all about his past.

Xun Ji'an fell silent and looked at him in surprise. He had not even initially expected that there were still the ruins of the 'Mu' family left alive by Zhao Bingyan and the people in the Yin Lang Sect. It turned out that only the head of their family was insane. And because of that attack, Mu Chen Xiao became an orphan and he also lost all his family.

Xun Ji'an patted Mu Chen Xiao on the head and looked at him seriously when she saw Mu Chen Xiao who was showing his sad expression. "... Why is your face so sad? Shouldn't you be grateful for not being a commoner?" Xun Ji'an's words surprised Mu Chen Xiao when she heard it.

Mu Chen Xiao looked towards Xun Ji'an who was giving a serious look and he began to feel that Xun Ji'an could be a little sane even though Mu Chen Xiao was a little strange when he heard it. "... Actually, where did this Gege come from? Why did Gege get to know the great Master?" Asked Mu Chen Xiao who was starting to be a little curious as to why he was touted as the snake ancestor.

^^^^ \= Gege \= Brother.^^^

Xun Ji'an slightly laughed before she answered her question, "... If I told you, you wouldn't believe that I came from a snake egg that Yan-Yan discovered eighteen years ago."

Mu Chen Xiao was startled and could only fall silent while thinking in his mind. He tried to wonder in his mind, ”Did any human breed by laying eggs? Didn't the snake's eggs hatch inside the mother's body? Then why, this guy was born from an egg?”

"J-if Gege was born from an egg then, was Gege born from a marriage between man and serpent? And also, what has Gege experienced long ago, also experienced by River ancestors?" Mu Chen Xiao asked who was beginning to be confused with the likes of Xun Ji'an and the River ancestors who could change their form into humans and animals.

Xun Ji'an thought before replying, "... We were born because we were unwanted. If there was a snake in one of the houses, they would immediately drive him out or kill him because it was considered to bring danger around them. That's why I was born to break all the words they thought. And I am also very different from the ancestors of the River. They had a place to live and were greatly endowed. Very much different from me who has no place and is hated by many."

Due to the increasingly serious situation, it made Xun Ji'an feel embarrassed after telling it. He punched Mu Chen Xiao on the back, causing him to waver and said with an excited face, "Have it! Forget what I said just now! It's not a big deal because I still have Yan-Yan and you too!"

”Hah? Why is my name also by him?” inner Mu Chen Xiao who was only silent after Xun Ji'an hit his back quite hard.

[[Xun Ji'an's character is starting to get interested in you.]]

[[ System assign points C+50 ]]

[[Remain of final points +3050 ]]

”Oh, yes. I remember that Xun Ji'an was only a servant character. It seems, during these years I will only earn C points compared to when I get points from Zhao Bingyan.” said Mu Chen Xiao who was currently talking to the system that appeared in front of his face.

Guanya Road in the Jinya Mountains. The road is covered by a forest with large trees and many ghosts lurking there. A crow who transforms into a woman with long black hair and a dress that is the same color as her hair. Both of his eyeballs, emitting a purple-colored power light and an extremely red lip color, made him appear creepy compared to women of his age.

This woman with black hair and clothes, including one of Jinya's mountain spirits was a crow and her name was Xu Wuya.

Just then, when he was standing guard at the front gate of the Jinya mountain range. He saw a black shadow suddenly entering their mountain range and surely that person would bring trouble to their group. And because of that suspicious feeling that made Xu Wuya immediately chase after the black shadow however, he lost it when they were on a branching road that had large trees there.

In recent times, the city of Jiangyan has seen the arrival of hungry ghosts who have killed some of the town's residents and injured them. It was because of the removal of the 'Mu' family from their city and in the end, Jiangyan city already had no big family that would protect them from the attacks of ghosts that were out there. The palace also never took care of them because it has been considered as a dead city that has long been abandoned even though, there are still some people who dare to live there. They are the ones who ask the spirits of the mountains for help to kill all the ghosts that attack their city.

Xu Wuya was now standing on one of the branches of a large tree that grew along the road of Guua that connects the city of Jiangyan with the residence of the family 'Mu' which only remains the rubble. He was so attentive around and just in case there was a ghost who tried to attack them. ”The wild ghosts are still around here. Their numbers were not too many, but their hatred was enormous. Xun Ji'an, I hope you are careful when crossing this road.”
