Chapter 1105: Chapter 190: Phoenix Clan Territory (Second Update)

"Actually, I don’t know where my destination is either, just following the instructions given by the voice in my heart." After stepping into the boundary of the Demon Forest, Chu Nian said helplessly to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge replied, "Do you think that voice would harm you?"

Chu Nian thought seriously, then shook her head firmly, "No. I feel very close to it, and don’t think it would harm me."

"That’s good then, just follow it." Mu Qingge comforted her with a smile.

Her words completely relaxed Chu Nian, who smiled and nodded.

When the two entered the Demon Forest, they didn’t see any guards from the Beast Clan. After walking for a while, Chu Nian asked curiously, "Why don’t we see people from the Beast Clan?"

"It’s said that in the Demon Forest, territories are divided by clans. Perhaps where we are standing now belongs to a no man’s land." Mu Qingge speculated.

"But if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be easy for foreign enemies to invade?" Chu Nian frowned.

Mu Qingge chuckled, walking leisurely through the mountains with her hands behind her, "The Demon Forest is located between the Divine and Demon Clans, with a barrier against the Demon Clan, making it difficult to pass through. On the Divine Clan’s side, although there is no barrier, if there’s a large-scale attack, it’ll be hard to hide from the powerful of the Beast Clan. Even..."

She pointed discreetly at the sky, then glanced around. Lowering her voice, she said to Chu Nian, "You think no one knows we’ve entered, but actually, everything flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the land is watching us. As long as we have any malicious intent, it would likely be immediately reported to the territories of various clans."

Chu Nian was shocked, her mouth slightly open, laughing nervously, "Although I have no ill intent and possess some self-protective ability, hearing you say this makes me feel a bit scared."

"Don’t be afraid, we aren’t here to become enemies with the Beast Clan. If one’s heart is righteous, there’s nothing to fear from shadows. Just proceed openly." Mu Qingge laughed.

Chu Nian nodded with a smile, feeling much more at ease with Mu Qingge accompanying her.

But, as they continued further inside, any occasional movements would cause Chu Nian to glance around frequently. Her curious demeanor was quite unlike the calm, wise, meticulous, and kind-hearted Princess of Wuhua Domain.

"You’re not young anymore, yet you’ve never been to the Demon Forest?" Mu Qingge remarked amusingly.

Chu Nian paused, nodding with disappointment, "My father didn’t allow me to come to the Demon Forest, saying it’s too chaotic and too far from Wuhua Domain. If I wanted to travel, I could go anywhere within the Four Seas Divine Land, just not enter the Demon Forest."

Mu Qingge remained silent.

The control by the Wuhua God Emperor made people feel he was guilty, intentionally avoiding something.

"This time when I left, I told him I wanted to travel through the Four Seas Divine Land to explain my departure. I didn’t directly tell him I was coming to the Demon Forest." Chu Nian said.

Mu Qingge nodded with a smile, "Is Princess Chu Nian warning me not to say anything recklessly?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Nian’s eyes shifted and she immediately glared, "Yeah! If you dare to reveal my whereabouts, I’ll definitely make you... make you..."

"Make me what?" Mu Qingge asked with amusement.

What could Chu Nian do to Mu Qingge?

This was truly a dilemma for Chu Nian. Killing was naturally unthinkable. Fighting? It seemed hard to win. It’s said Mu Qingge once fought against Yan Lie and even forced Yan Lie to retreat.

After thinking for a long while, Chu Nian helplessly said, "I can’t really do anything to you."

Her helpless expression amused Mu Qingge, who laughed heartily, her laughter carefree and unrestrained, with a touch of wild arrogance.

For a moment, she had Chu Nian watching her in a daze.

When Mu Qingge’s laughter ceased, she noticed Chu Nian staring at her with a dazed expression.

"Chu Nian." Mu Qingge collected her laughter and called out.

Chu Nian snapped back, seeing Mu Qingge’s inquisitive gaze, two blushes rose to her cheeks, and her demeanor became shy.

Luckily, it was only for a moment before she returned to normal, and Mu Qingge did not pursue further.

At this moment, the voice guiding Chu Nian into the Demon Forest echoed again. She stood there, eyes turning slightly vacant.

’Child, my child, please come back... return to your true home... I’m waiting for you...’ The voice called repeatedly.

Chu Nian’s lost expression prompted Mu Qingge to call out in concern, "Chu Nian, are you okay?"

This call was like a morning bell, pulling Chu Nian out of the influence of the voice. She blinked and looked at Mu Qingge, "The voice appeared again."

"What did it say?" Mu Qingge asked, narrowing her eyes.

"It said, let me return home, back to my true home." Chu Nian mumbled, repeating the words, looking helplessly at Mu Qingge.

She instinctively hadn’t told the Wuhua God Emperor about these feelings, bearing them alone. Now meeting Mu Qingge, it seemed she finally found a dependency, sharing everything without reservation.

"Don’t be afraid, since it won’t harm you, let’s go have a look." Mu Qingge comforted.

Chu Nian nodded, pursing her lips.

"Do you know where we need to go next?" Mu Qingge asked.

Chu Nian frowned, thought carefully, and a coordinate appeared in her mind. She uncertainly replied, "I seem to know the direction, but I don’t know where the place we need to go is."

"Let’s keep going inside. When we reach the Beast Clan market, we can ask around." Mu Qingge suggested.

"Okay." Chu Nian nodded.

The two continued to delve deep into the Demon Forest, surrounded by forests, tall trees, streams, rivers, mountains, hills, and grassy plains.

It seemed no different from the mountains outside, yet hidden here were not many but extremely powerful species.

’If the Beast Clan weren’t primarily divided by clans operating independently, if their numbers weren’t considerably less compared to the Divine and Demon Clans, then this Divine Demon Continent shouldn’t be dominated by two races, but would rather be a three-leg balance.’ Mu Qingge thought to herself.

After entering the Demon Forest, they walked for a day and night before finally seeing a place with smoke from cooking.

"Hundred Fragrance Collection!" Chu Nian stood in front of a smooth stone, reading the words engraved on it.

Turning to Mu Qingge beside her, she said, "It’s said that within the Beast Clan, there are such gatherings between clans for exchanging daily necessities, it seems this is one such place."

"Let’s go in and take a look, and casually inquire about what the coordinate in your mind points to." Mu Qingge said.

Chu Nian nodded and walked with Mu Qingge towards the Hundred Fragrance Collection.

Entering the Hundred Fragrance Collection, everything presented before them aroused their curiosity.

Even before taking a closer look, Chu Nian was drawn to a map hanging at the entrance, engraved on a stone slab. Her hand pointed to a position on it, saying to Mu Qingge, "There it is!"

Mu Qingge looked at the place she pointed to and thought to herself, ’Phoenix Territory’!
