Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 317. Back To Silver Mountain

Jian Heng walked at the very front, behind him followed by Fang Yin and Guan Xing. The three of them walked through the path leading to the ruins of a building where they stopped at the beginning of their arrival in the Northern Mainland.

"Dad Lift!"

The voice of a boy they were very familiar with echoed around the place. The three of them looked for the source of the voice but saw no one. The three stepped back and thought they were hallucinating.

Fang Yin was not interested in seeing it with his inner eyes. He chose to ignore it and continue on his way.

Just a moment they parted with Acong, of course this made him sing his voice so adorable.

"Big Brother!"

The voice was heard again with a different call.

The three of them stopped and looked around. The three looked at each other as if they wanted to convince themselves of each other whether they had actually heard the voice or not.

"Am I the only one ringing in Acong's voice?" fang Yin asked as she looked towards Jian Heng and Guan Xing in turn.

"I heard it too," Guan Xing and Jian Heng replied simultaneously.

Fang Yin walked past Jian Heng and walked in front. He jumped into the air then his body disappeared while using teleportation techniques.

Jian Heng and Guan Xing stared at the empty air, right where Fang Yin was seen for the last time.

"Hm. I don't think about them both." Jian Heng shook his head then took another step back.

There is no point in waiting for the two to get bored of playing. Guan Xing did not want to remain silent there either, he walked following Jian Heng towards a more spacious place.

To get to the settlement of glacier tribes still need about four thousand steps more from there. They continued walking without waiting for Fang Yin as both of them knew that he would have no trouble finding their whereabouts.

Bugh!

The sound of falling objects made the two look up. Apparently it was the sound of Fang Yin and Acong falling from a direction they did not know.

"Basin a bad boy!" Fang Yin punched Acong pelang's shoulder.

The two then laughed together loudly.

Jian Heng and Guan Xing walked over to the two of them who were still sleeping on their backs on the grass. The two looked at each other not understanding what they were laughing at.

"Dad Lift!" acong screeches jumped up then stood firmly in front of Jian Heng.

"How did you get here when we just got here?" jian Heng asked.

If this was done by Fang Yin, he would not feel astonished. However, when Acong did it, he was curious.

"Beautiful sister has returned the devil's book to me. This is one of the demonic abilities that I just learned about," explains Acong.

Jian Heng turned to look at Fang Yin who was sitting on the ground. A trace of worry was clearly visible on his face. He was afraid that Acong would turn into a ruthless demon after taking possession of the entire book.

"Not to worry. Everything that Acong has done is still under my control." Fang Yin got up and stood beside Acong.

"You have so much heart to leave me alone" Acong's scolding sulked.

His face pouted with his lips that turned like a goose beak. He turned his body to the side with both hands folded on his chest. This makes her look adorable.

"Open your hand!" jian Heng's orders to Acong.

Acong did as Jian Heng ordered. The palm of his right hand was opened in front of his adoptive father.

A bluish-green jade shot out from Jian Heng's palm. The same jade that was given to Fang Yin when they were about to split up in the Nine Stars Sect.

"Well, that's beautiful! It looks like a locket, Dad Lift." Acong scrutinized the jade in his hand and continued to look at it.

"really. You can wear it, then anyone will recognize you as my family."

Acong was getting excited to hear that, he was looking around for something to tie the pendant into a necklace. As his face grew frustrated when he did not come up with an idea, Fang Yin came forward and gave a rope of twined thread that resembled a small curd.

"Well, thank you, beautiful sister. You two are indeed my second most understanding parents." Acong immediately wore a jade pendant thread necklace from Jian Heng and Fang Yin.

"Your family will be anxious when they realize their loss. You better go home now. Remember, don't be naughty. If you become an evil demon, I am the first one who will kill you" Fang Yin threatened.

"Where do I dare, Beautiful Brother. I owe you my life, my whole life I'll obey you." Acong said with certainty.

"good. We go first. See you next time!" Fang Yin patted Acong's shoulder gently.

To everyone's surprise, Acong hugged her tightly and cried bitterly. Fang Yin returned his embrace and gently rubbed his back. Jian Heng tightened his teeth, he was not willing to see the two cuddling.

"Give a hug for dad too." Jian Heng spread out his hands so that Acong immediately released Fang Yin.

The idea of ignorance in Acong's mind. He wanted to make his father angry.

"Sweet sister, may I call you 'mom'. Everyone says you look a lot like my mom, even if my mom's hair isn't as good as yours." Acong stroked Fang Yin's long hair without letting go of his embrace.

"As far as you are. Just so you don't ask me to be a real mother."

The answer from Fang Yin made Jian Heng smile happily.

Failing his mission, Acong hugged Jian Heng. Her foster father was not provoked by emotion even though he felt annoyed as he teased Fang Yin.

"Please be good. My message is the same as your foster mother's. Take care of our good name and think before you do anything." Jian Heng advised Acong.

Acong. His mouth felt hard to open because it was silenced by sadness. He also hugged Guan Xing and bid farewell to him.

Without saying much more, Acong went across space and time quickly. For a moment the three of them were stunned to see the last place where the shadow of Acong was seen then walked back to continue its journey.

Only Fang Yin could sense that Acong had not left from there. He looked at the three of them from a place unattainable by the eyes.

Fang Yin asked Guan Xing to take the lead in front. The purpose of their trip after this was a place that Guan Xing was very familiar with. He has lived in the North Land with the glacier tribes for a long time.

They walked lightly without any burden. Not a lot of time did they spend to reach that place. Residential houses have been seen and some people are also seen doing their activities.

Someone recognized Guan Xing and shouted to call the entire populace to come. One by one they came and stood up to welcome the three of them.

They looked enthusiastic when they saw the arrival of their leader. All members of the glacier tribe saluted simultaneously to the chairman.

Guan Xing introduced Fang Yin and Jian Heng as members of the ice tribe. Outside of the Silver Mountain region, their identities still needed to be kept secret.

Glacier tribe residents look uneasy when they hear the name of the ice tribe. They knew that Guan Xing had previously gone to take the territory inhabited by tribes allied with them. In other words, their relationship should not be fine at the moment.

Before they got any more misunderstood, Guan Xing finally told her what had really happened. He just told me a short story. Today too they already had to leave this place to return to the Silver Mountain.

Glacier tribesmen were asked to pack their belongings and prepare to leave. Guan Xing, Jian Heng and Fang Yin waited for them at the village border.

"Is this not too hasty, Grandpa dimples?" ask Fang Yin.

The three of them were sitting in a resting place beside the village gate.

"I don't think so. After this we have a lot of work to do. The agenda of the invasion of the Eastern Continent Empire is getting closer and we need to prepare carefully" explained Guan Xing.

"I'm flattered by your support, Grandpa dimples. What you said is true. I have to assemble as many troops as possible and make sure they don't clash with each other. I guess it's a little hard considering I'm not good at forming an organization."

Fang Yin looked gloomy. His face was bent and became uninspired given his so heavy path. An invisible path does test one's confidence in stepping.

Indeed, all the roads were not easy, as when he was just starting to look for the Book of the Nine Dragons.

"I will help you to set the strategy, Yin'er. Don't fret. We'll do it together." Jian Heng tried to calm Fang Yin down.

Fang Yin looked at him deeply then nodded slowly. He is currently in the midst of people who love him and make him feel less alone.

The inhabitants of the glacier tribe are ready to head to the Perak Mountain. They will travel by land. It took about two days to reach the destination.

Fang Yin jumped towards the wagon of goods pulled by a horse. There are several trains carrying children and the elderly. In addition, they walk in tandem.

Most of the glacier tribe population has been on the Perak Mountain. Their entourage this time was dominated by women, children and the elderly. Only a few strong men were in charge of guarding them as long as Guan Xing and his troops were not in place.

Their total number was less than fifty people so the convoy was not so long. They passed through the usual path of the merchants.

After exiting the Northern Mainland region, they entered a rock road that crossed a steep cliff. They walked carefully considering the depths of the abyss on one side of them.

Unbeknownst to them, Fang Yin put up a protective guard to guard if anyone was caught off guard while stepping. The downhill road to go to the forest is also quite dangerous, one little they can do harm.

Guan Xing took the lead in front, while Jian Heng watched the situation by hovering in midair. Fang Yin was at the rear of the wagon while ensuring the safety of the residents walking in front of him.

The scorching heat of the sun immediately changed with coolness as they crossed a forest. According to Guan Xing's story, after coming out of the forest they would meet the rural areas that were part of the Empire of the Eastern Continent as well.

A fairly large and densely populated village. To arrive at Silver Mountain, there were still three more villages that they had to pass through.

The group did not stop at the first village remembering the bright day. They decided to spend the night in the second village.

Nature blesses their journey so that it becomes smooth without hindrance. As they expected, the group reached the second village when dusk began to fall.

Guan Xing asked everyone to wait outside the village gate. His manners were very high, he went to see the village chief for permission before he brought his entourage in.

It wasn't long before Guan Xing had already returned to catch up with his entourage and bring them into the village. The village chief lent them a meeting room to rest.

They did not carry much supplies until the food they brought was not enough to share. Seeing this, Jian Heng felt empathetic and went out to look for food for all of them.

Fang Yin did not remain silent. He went to follow Jian Heng.

"Sister Heng! I'm coming!" call Fang Yin while running around to Jian Heng.

The women whispered to each other to shake the two. Although there was already peace, but they could not immediately like the people from the ice tribe. Their buzz sounded to Guan Xing's ears, he immediately approached them with a face that was hard to understand.

"What are you guys talking about? Just be prepared to starve if it offends them" Guan Xing threatened.

They do not understand the meaning of his words. However, they were not sure if Jian Heng and Fang Yin would care about the fate of those who were being starved. Judging from the appearance of the two of them, it looks like they are an ordinary folk who do not have much money.

The residents are silent. Although they did not believe it, but they did not dare to oppose Guan Xing. They chose to rest without saying much more while enduring hunger.

Hungry stomach makes some people feel restless. They give in to the children and give a share to them. Guan Xing sat leaning back as he watched the door waiting for the arrival of Fang Yin and Jian Heng.

The person they were waiting for came. Guan Xing immediately stood up and welcomed their arrival. The residents looked disappointed when they saw the two coming empty-handed. They are increasingly convinced that their leader only covers their ugliness with praise.

"Have they eaten?" jian Heng asked.

"Partially not yet, Mr. Heng," Guan Xing replied.

Jian Heng nodded. He asked Guan Xing to spread out a clean cloth, then a short while later a great deal of food came out from his storage ring.

The residents were astonished, because only the nobles who have such rings. They finally understood why Guan Xing had so much respect for the two of them.

Jian Heng and Fang Yin divided the foods for the ice tribe residents. They are very grateful to both of them.

Whispers continued to be heard, but they no longer spoke of the ugliness of the two. Some of the girls got a plot from Fang Yin as they tried to get close to Jian Heng. They thought that Fang Yin's covered face was really bad.

"Sister Heng, can you not attract the attention of the women just for a day?" whispered Fang Yin while elbowing Jian Heng's arm.

Jian Heng smiled sinlessly as he glanced at Fang Yin and rolled one eye.
