Chapter 49: Chapter 48 Annoying Companions"Sir... young miss, we agreed not to cause trouble along the way. Please apologize to them," the leading Martial Venerate nodded towards Yun Canghai amicably, noticing that despite their simple attire, this father and daughter were no ordinary people. The little girl was quite stubborn and ignored him, pulling the Female Great Magic Master forward. The Martial Venerate had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and approached Yun Canghai: "Big brother, I’m sorry, my young miss is a bit temperamental, but her nature is still good. Are you also heading to Yuewu Mountain? I see you’re with a child; why not join us on the way?" It was evident that the little girl was temperamental, and these martial artists must have suffered a lot accompanying her along the way. For a girl of only seven or eight to become a Magician, she indeed had good talent, which probably explained her spoiled nature. Yun Sheng had no intention of traveling with such a girl, but unexpectedly, Yun Canghai accepted the invitation. Yun Sheng was surprised, unsure of Yun Canghai’s intentions. "Uncle Chi, I don’t want to go with her; look at her, she doesn’t even have a proper Magic Wand," the girl stomped her feet in anger upon hearing that she would be traveling with Yun Shengge and her group, and the Female Great Magic Master also seemed very worried. She took the Martial Venerate aside and respectfully said: "Lord Chi, why invite people of unknown identity to join us? You know how sensitive the young miss’s identity is; if someone with ulterior motives targets her, it won’t be good." "Lady Mu, when I left, Her Majesty instructed that this trip should secondly seek Demon Beast Soul Stones, but primarily to train the young miss. Otherwise, with her temper, if she joins the Magic Academy in the future, she will definitely face exclusion," the Martial Venerate sighed deeply. His deputy generals had plenty of complaints about the young miss on the road; if not for her status, they would have quit long ago. He took on this escort mission reluctantly because Her Majesty had once saved her life. The Martial Venerate had good intentions; seeing Yun Sheng and the young miss looked somewhat similar, both seeming smart and sharp as new Magicians, maybe the young miss could learn to temper her domineering attitude by interacting with her. Lady Mu nodded and went over to explain things to the young girl, who glared fiercely at Yun Sheng and went off to sulk by herself. The Lady Mu seemed to have a good temper, she approached Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai, "Greetings, I am Mu Shuiyue, and this is our young miss Huang Lingling. May I ask how to address you both?" "I am Yun Canghai, and this is my daughter Yun Sheng. Please take care of us along the way," Yun Canghai said with a neutral attitude toward outsiders. After joining Huang Lingling’s party, the group quickly passed through the shaded path, and a checkpoint appeared ahead. Chi Wuzun took out a token and waved it in front of several soldiers. The soldiers hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to you, Lord." "I have orders from Eastern Capital to lead people into Yuewu Mountain for the trial," Lord Chi pointed to the people behind him, and Yun Sheng realized that his father must have known about the checkpoint set up outside Yuewu Mountain, which is why he mingled with this group. With Lord Chi’s token, the group smoothly entered Yuewu Mountain. About an hour after Yun Sheng and others entered Yuewu Mountain, a fast horse galloped in, and a Qi City guard dismounted, breathlessly saying: "Quickly close off Yuewu Mountain, prohibiting anyone from entering. A violent homicide occurred last night on the outskirts of Qi City, a Grade C Wanted Demon Beast, ranked forty-fifth on the Wanted List, has entered Yuewu Mountain." Wanted Demon Beast? Upon hearing the name of the Wanted Beast, the color drained from the guards’ faces. They immediately closed the entrance to Yuewu Mountain and set up a notice board outside. After the notice was posted, the City Guards also posted the bounty for the C-rank Wanted Magical Beast Suddenly, all hunters and mages near Yuewu Mountain were aware of this information. However, those who had entered Yuewu Mountain a few days earlier remained unaware; the title of C-rank Wanted Magical Beast was too frightening, and the guards of Qi City dared not enter Yuewu Mountain. Wanted Magical Beasts are a special term used on Wuji Continent for those fierce beasts. Magical beasts can be either good or evil; normally, such as those that reside in Yuewu Mountain, they do not leave the mountain range of their own accord and usually do not attack humans unless they are provoked. However, Wanted Magical Beasts are different; they are often powerful, violent, and bloodthirsty, invading towns and villages to aggressively attack livestock and even residents. Hence, there is a dedicated Demon Beast Wanted List on Wuji Continent, listing various magical beasts that have committed crimes and then fled. According to the magical beast’s rank, the Demon Beast Wanted List is divided into five categories from S to D-rank, with each category containing one to one hundred beasts. The beasts that make it onto the list are either astonishingly skilled in combat or adept in magic; the beasts on the C-rank list are at least of the fifth and sixth rank, equivalent to the human Mortal Venerates and Magic Masters. Where there is a wanted notice, naturally, there is also a bounty. The magical beast ranked number 45 on the C-rank list originally had a bounty of 100 gold coins, and last night it killed a passerby who happened to be a wealthy individual from Qi City, and that rich man’s family offered an additional fifty gold coins as a reward. Together, the bounty for this C-rank magical beast amounts to 150 gold coins. Substantial rewards bring brave men forward; despite strict official orders not to venture into Yuewu Mountain, some local hunter soldiers still sneaked into Yuewu Mountain later that evening in search of the whereabouts of the C-rank magical beast. At this time, Yun Sheng and his daughter, along with Huang Lingling and a group of others, had also entered the middle area of Yuewu Mountain. As dusk fell, Huang Lingling, having walked all day and being a magician, was tired and insisted on resting. Chi Wuzun and Yun Canghai, after a discussion, decided to set up camp by a small river to rest for the night. When distributing the tents, considering safety and gender separation, Chi Wuzun arranged for Yun Sheng and Huang Lingling, master and servant, to share one tent. "What? I have to sleep in the same tent with this dirty girl?" Upon hearing this, Huang Lingling immediately bristled. "Who are you calling a dirty girl? Apologize to Sheng’er!" Upon hearing this, Yun Canghai’s face darkened, and his glare turned fierce and terrifying; Huang Lingling shivered with fear and immediately clung to the Female Great Demon Master by the surname of Mu. The Female Great Demon Master by the surname of Mu had to smooth things over in an attempt to keep the peace, only to find Yun Canghai unwilling to compromise. He spoke very deliberately: "Apologize." The Female Great Demon Master with the surname Mu also became displeased; she was of high status, and this martial artist, who was neither a mage nor a nobleman, had no right to threaten her and the young lady. With a "hmpf," she drew her magic wand, and a dim blue glow of Water Magic flickered around it.
