41: Chapter 41: Merfolk Lin Yuan 41: Chapter 41: Merfolk Lin Yuan Wen Zhendong seemed to realize something, his eyes immediately welling up with concern. He hurriedly added, “Yes, yes, you are the Divine Envoy of the Mountain God tasked with guarding Kongcang Mountain. Today, you brought so many of us here; the Mountain God must be angry. Shall I accompany you to the Divine Mansion and explain this together?” Lin Guiyuan slowly shook his head and said, “The Mountain Father… does not like to see… strangers, don’t worry… it’s alright.” Baili An thought to himself that this girl might not be worried about you; she is probably more concerned about your Mountain Father. Suddenly, a thick fog arose from the other side of the lake, hiding the huge Divine Mansion suspended a hundred meters in the air, creating an even more mystical and fantastical scene. Lin Guiyuan instructed everyone not to randomly pick the plants in the mountain or disturb the creatures living there and then turned towards the direction of the lake. His golden figure soon disappeared into the mist. Perhaps due to the presence of many strangers, the usually lively creatures of the mountain had suddenly become very quiet, hiding away somewhere unknown. The forest on the mountain, with its ancient trees and lush foliage like huge green umbrellas, had numerous treevine houses on the sturdy, large trees, looking exceptionally serene and magical. Having escaped from near-death experiences, everyone was anxious and exhausted, and they each found a tree house to enter and rest. Wen Yu and his two disciples did the same, choosing one tree house. After the three entered, Baili An also saw Wen Yu casually set up a soundproof barrier. “Si Chen, aren’t you going to rest?” The young girl Chen Xiaolan saw him standing motionless outside, not intending to enter the house, and couldn’t help but ask. Baili An looked up at the sky, obscured by the dense tree canopies, and thought that even if dawn broke, sunlight seemed unable to penetrate here, so it didn’t affect him much. Thus, he felt there was no need to go look for a room; he didn’t need to sleep anyway. “No need. You go ahead and rest. This place is a world of its own, and I want to take a closer look.” “I’ll stay with you then,” Chen Xiaolan’s eyes sparkled brightly. Baili An smiled and shook his head, “Really, there’s no need. You’ve had quite a scare today too; go back and get a good night’s sleep.” “Oh.” Seeing him refuse repeatedly, Chen Xiaolan appeared dejectedly resigned and went to find her own tree house. One by one, the tree houses lit up with lights, which then extinguished quickly, presumably as everyone had fallen asleep exhausted. Only the room where Wen Yu stayed was still brightly lit. Baili An leaned against the ancient tree, with a little deer resting its head on his leg, looking peaceful. He played with the deer’s soft fur with his fingers and said softly, “Deer, do you know? I’m actually a dead man. Normally, dead people shouldn’t have many emotions, but today, when that guy called Wen Yu tried to take you away, I got really angry.” The deer called out softly with a low tone, gently kicking his leg with its hoof. “Deer, I’ve decided, since you’ve chosen to stay by my side, no matter if I am dead or alive, you are my important family. If anyone dares target you again, they are my enemy.” The deer climbed up from his leg, licking his cheek very happily. Baili An also happily held it, smiling broadly. As the two were having a good time, a vine suddenly dangled down in front of Baili An. A White Ape slid down from the vine, holding two bananas, and offered them to Baili An appeasingly. It chirped twice and then pointed at the deer, suggesting that the bananas were for the deer to eat. Baili An dumbfoundedly took the bananas, and with a half-smile said, “I thought all the animals in the mountain were hiding because they were afraid of strangers. Why are you out again now that they’ve gone? Well, thanks for the bananas. Does the deer want to eat it?” The deer amicably lifted its hoof to rest it auf the White Ape’s shoulder, mimicking Baili An’s smile, its mouth curving into a wide grin.

The White Ape seemed to understand the deer’s smile and chirped twice, slowly reaching out a palm to pet the deer’s head. The deer’s mouth stretched even wider. The White Ape chirped joyfully, carefully petting a few times, looking completely satisfied. Watching this scene, Baili An felt an immense sense of relief. He suddenly realized that dealing with these animals of the mountain brought more peace to his heart than interacting with the humans of the outside world. He peeled one banana and fed it to the deer. Then, he peeled the other banana and handed it to the White Ape. The White Ape shook its head, pushing the banana towards Baili An’s lips, indicating that he should eat it. Baili An looked down at the peeled banana, his gaze slightly cold, and he chuckled softly, “I can’t eat this.” Corpse demons cannot consume human food, nor can they digest such; instead, the food would just accumulate inside their body, becoming a burden that is painfully ejected after a few days. The White Ape seemed to understand Baili An’s desolate look and comfortingly patted his head. Thud! A yellow, persimmon-like fruit struck the White Ape. The fruit was wet, drenching part of its fur. The White Ape immediately bared its teeth and glared toward the lake, appearing fierce but without much malice. By the lakeside, a Merfolk girl lay sprawled out, her body draped in a brightly colored silken fabric that fluttered lightly in the water, looking incredibly dreamy and delicate. She had transparent thin webs between her palms, a complexion smooth as jade, and lips as if holding a pearl, her beautiful eyes captivatingly vibrant. Wet strands of hair clung to her snow-white cheeks, adding a bit of allure, with a blue iris flower tattooed between her eyebrows. She was gently tossing the yellow fruit in her hand, mischievously throwing it again, hitting the White Ape squarely on the head. She chuckled lightly, “Idiot, what’s so good about those bananas? You could have offered something nicer to the guest. This is Pearl Fish Fruit, which is very beneficial for spiritual cultivation, especially since that little deer just had its Spirit Awakening.” The White Ape was about to angrily throw the fruit back. Hearing her words, it abruptly stopped, twisted its head, and stuffed the fruit into Baili An’s arms. It quickly climbed up the tree and, from somewhere, fetched a few more bananas, throwing them at the mermaid. The mermaid, extremely agile, reached out and caught the bananas he threw, leisurely peeling and biting into them. She mumbled unclearly, “Did you pick these bananas early this year? They taste a bit astringent.” The White Ape, infuriated, started wildly beating its chest. “Chuckle…” Watching this harmonious scene, Baili An burst out laughing. The mermaid looked at Baili An, waved at him with a charming smile, “Handsome young man, come over here and play.” Baili An fed both of the fruits to the deer, then got up and walked to the lakeside, squatting down and smiling, “Thank you for the fruit.” The mermaid casually threw the banana peel onto the shore and swam up to Baili An.
