Chapter 412 A Courteous Welcome
Chapter 412 A Courteous Welcome
There was a huge table in the middle of the living room, filled with all kinds of fresh fruits, including peaches, plums, apricots, pears, oranges, persimmons, melons, and dates. I don't know where these beast spirits got so many fruits in the early winter.
There were three or four beast spirits sitting on both sides of the big table. When they saw Chu Xiaomu come in, they all stared at him curiously.
Sitting at the center of the table was a woman in her fifties, wearing a dark black dress with golden vines, green leaves and blue flowers, with her hair tied up high and studded with gold and silver beads of all sizes; she had drooping eyebrows, round eyes, a long round nose and upturned lips, and a serious face. On both sides of her mouth, like the King of Beasts, there was a half-inch-long fang exposed, which made her look quite majestic.
Chu Xiaomu thought, this must be the Queen Mother, there is no way he could be wrong. Without waiting for the crow ladies to say anything, he bowed his head and called out, "I am Chu Xiaomu, the boy from Bicheng, meeting the Queen Mother of the Western Beast Mountain."
The Queen Mother said coldly, "The Beast Mountain does not have the same rules as you city folks. You are not allowed to perform this kind of ceremony in the future. It makes me upset when I see it."
Chu Xiaomu did such a great favor but didn't expect to be rejected. He felt very unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only say "yes" and stood up awkwardly.
The Queen Mother then said, "Please sit down. You are a guest coming from afar. Let's talk while we eat." However, there was no joy in her voice to see a guest.
Chu Xiaomu didn't know where to sit, so he just found the last stool and sat down. The Queen Mother pointed to a seat next to her and said, "Come sit here."
Chu Xiaomu thought that the guest should follow the host's wishes, so he had to sit down obediently, feeling very uncomfortable all over.
The Crow Lady sat down next to the Queen Mother, directly opposite Chu Xiaomu, and the other beast spirits sat down in turn.
Chu Xiaomu thought that there were only eleven or twelve powerful beast spirits in West Beast Mountain, which was indeed far inferior to those in East Mang Mountain.
The Queen Mother waited until all the beast spirits were seated and said, "Everyone, please don't be polite. Eat first."
The beast spirits were already extremely hungry, and as soon as she finished speaking, they began to eat voraciously.
This ugly pig not only has a big mouth, but also swallows everything whole, so it eats the fastest. In a short time, it has eaten up all the fruits and vegetables in front of it.
Chu Xiaomu hadn't eaten such fresh fruits for a long time, so he picked up a bright red peach and started eating it.
After eating for a while, Qicai Que couldn't help asking, "Queen Mother, you said that a very powerful person is going to come to Zichen Peak these days. We need to set up more checkpoints at the foot of the peak and on the peak so that we can stop him."
Ci Hao also said, "That's right, he..." He was about to blurt out the three words "hell", but suddenly remembered the warning from the Crow Woman that he should become mute, so he had to stop abruptly and said, "If this guy dares to come to Bu Jian Peak to embarrass you, we will definitely make him pay for it!"
Manniu laughed and said, "Let him pay the price! Haha, that makes sense!"
The Queen Mother said, "There's no need to set up checkpoints. It's too late."
All the beast spirits were shocked and asked, "Why is it too late?"
"Isn't that person coming?"
"No, no, could it be that person has already arrived?"
"Where is he? Why haven't we seen him?"
……
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but start to worry as well, thinking: "That person was able to dodge so many beast spirits and go straight to the Unseen Peak. His courage and ability are truly extraordinary."
He also thought that if the West Beast Mountain couldn't defeat him, it would be difficult for him to ask the Queen Mother to teach him spiritual power. It seemed that no matter who the enemy was, he had to stand on the side of the West Beast Mountain this time and help them repel the enemy first.
The colorful bird asked again, "Queen Mother, who is that person? Has any animal spirit found out his details? People in the city say that knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. I think there is some truth to this."
Manniu said, "That makes sense!"
Ugly Pig said, "I don't think so. If that person's ability is much better than ours, even if we know the color of his underwear, we may not be able to defeat him. For example, if my king comes, don't we know his background? Even if we know, what's the use? Who here can defeat him?"
Manniu let out a laugh and then said, "That makes sense."
Ci Hao shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about, you ugly freak? Why would my king come to West Beast Mountain? The Queen Mother made a fire and blood contract with him, 'Until both of you raise your heads, the East and West Beast Mountains will never meet again'! You...you weren't there at that time!" He almost said a dirty word again.
Ugly Pig said: "I...I was just making an analogy."
"You can't use an analogy like that. Even if my king doesn't follow the rules set by the ancestors, he will still remember the friendship of more than 400 years and will not go to Zichen Peak to embarrass the Queen Mother!"
"That makes sense!" Manniu said again.
The Queen Mother snorted and said, "Shut up and don't mention that guy anymore! We have a 'Fire and Blood Contract' between us. He is not allowed to cross Chui Ke Road again!"
Chu Xiaomu thought, judging from the Queen Mother's tone, it was obvious that she had a deep grudge against the King of Ten Thousand Beasts. Even if he could make the two masters raise their heads, it would be difficult for them to reconcile. It was hard to say whether the East and West Beast Mountains could be combined into one... Then who was this person who went to Zichen Peak and made things difficult for the Queen Mother?
But then the old woman said, "Don't you want to know who the powerful person on Purple Dust Peak is?"
The beast spirits shouted one after another: "Who is it, who is it... where is it, where is it..."
The Crow Goddess said mysteriously: "It is far away in the sky, but it is right in front of us..."
Chu Xiaomu was startled: "Could it be that he was talking about me?"
The beast spirits were not so clear-headed. They all jumped up and started looking around the living room. Two of them even sneaked into the dark corner of the roof to look for the item.
Ugly Pig sniffed around but found nothing. He shook his head and said, "There are no spirits in this place."
The Queen Mother also knew that the beast spirit's brain was not very good, so she frowned and said, "The Crow Lady had already figured out last night that the powerful person on the Purple Dust Peak was this little brother Chu."
All the animal spirits stood still, like clay sculptures or wooden carvings, staring at Chu Xiaomu as if they had seen a monster.
Lei Ling shouted, "It was you who dared to go to Zichen Peak and embarrass the Queen Mother! I was a little careless yesterday. Let's fight again today!"
The colorful bird cried out, "I knew you were not a good person. Alas, I was soft-hearted and didn't poison you to death!"
Some of the beast spirits shouted curses, some challenged the enemy to a fight, but no one dared to step forward and take action without the Queen Mother's order.
The Queen Mother said again: "Everyone sit down, don't be afraid."
With a "crash" sound, all the beast spirits sat back in their original positions.
Chu Xiaomu couldn't believe that the powerful person the beast spirit was talking about was actually himself. It was really puzzling.
