The stolen magic is a bit magical

The lord suddenly turned around, his eyes in the secret chamber like those of a ghost, extremely sinister.

"The Lone Serpent entered the secret chamber. Your subordinate intended to enter and convey the Lord's instructions, but to your surprise, the Lone Serpent was nowhere to be found. He has left the mountain!"

The Lord said, "Go to his ancestral home in Xijiang Province and observe him secretly. Be careful not to expose yourself. If he makes any unusual moves, kill him!"

"Yes!"

The envoy vanished into thin air.

The envoy received his orders and left, while the mastermind slowly emerged from the darkness: "My lord, I have a bad feeling."

"Are you worried that this was originally Lin Xiaosu's plan?"

“Yes! This person is best at finding clues from the smallest details. If he is also hiding in the ancestral home of Lone Serpent in Xijiang, we might be able to find this place by following the clues.” The chief planner said, “I should have made a decision earlier. If we had killed Lone Serpent immediately, we would have stopped his insidious plan.”

The Venerable One gently shook his head: "It can't be broken!"

"Can't break it off?"

"You may be able to slay the Lone Serpent, but you cannot slay Qingyan!" the Venerable Lord said. "He has the idea of ​​using the Lone Serpent's clues to find me, and naturally he will also have the idea of ​​using Qingyan's clues to find me. Qingyan is currently in Kun Cang, which you cannot enter, but he can enter easily. He will find this place sooner or later. The difficult thing is never finding me, but rather that he even realizes that I exist!"

The chief planner's heart skipped a beat...

The difficulty has never been finding the Lord, but rather realizing that the Lord even exists!

Others might not understand this, but he does.

In most people's dictionary, the lord of Hydra is John Chespool.

The series of biographies about Hydra should end on Knae.

If that's the case, then the true master will remain outside the public eye.

However, there are indications that Lin Xiaosu was not fooled by this smokescreen.

He had already thought of this.

Thinking about this level is the most difficult part.

Once he has this understanding, he will have an opportunity.

This announcement from Qianlong shows that he has already made his move.

We are currently facing a lone snake.

The lone snake was immediately caught off guard.

Even though the Lord has severed the connection with Lone Serpent, he still has a backup plan, namely Light Smoke.

Moreover, Qingyan was an anomaly; she and Lin Xiaosu coordinated their efforts remotely...

She didn't give the Lord a chance to sever her connection; she entered Kun Cang!

As for Kuncang, the Venerable Lord used to have the opportunity to infiltrate it, but now he doesn't even have that opportunity anymore.

The entrance to Kuncang is controlled by Qianlong.

You can't even send a message to the people inside Kuncang!

The situation in Kuncang was actually orchestrated by Lin Xiaosu.

The grand scheme he has orchestrated is gradually shrinking the Lord's room for maneuver...

The chief planner suddenly realized that he seemed to have been completely outmatched by Lin Xiaosu, the unofficial planner.

The Venerable One smiled faintly: "It's alright! How could a tiny ant possibly stir up a storm?"

That faint smile seemed to tear apart the boundless gloom before the chief planner...

On Wushen Mountain, Lin Xiaosu crossed the boundary between the inner and outer villages, and before her lay the vast mountains.

The tea garden is quiet at this time of year; birds don't sing, insects don't chirp, and a few tender leaves on the tea trees sway in the cold wind amidst the bleak autumn breeze.

The mountains are exceptionally clear.

The fog had thinned considerably, making the mountains appear exceptionally distant and majestic.

As we followed the mountain road, the Miao people we encountered along the way were also wearing thick padded jackets.

After walking ten miles along the mountain road, a precipice looms ahead.

This is the Miao people's Waiting-for-Husband Cliff.

Today, it's probably Lin Xiaose's "Waiting-for-Wife Cliff".

Standing at the foot of the cliff, looking south, one can see Taichong City at the foot of Wushen Mountain.

Looking north, you can see the ancient Miao village.

Yixiang, what are you doing right now?

This girl went on a business trip, got a permanent position, and now she's living a life of leisure with a monthly salary of over ten thousand. I'm here to smear your life of leisure to nothing!
With a mischievous thought arising, Lin Xiaosu felt a surge of heat in her heart and strode off, traversing the mountain path to reach the ancient Miao village.

The courtyard gate was gently pushed open, and a special aura belonging to the Miao shaman god rushed out. What kind of aura was it?

The garden is filled with a subtle fragrance.

This fragrance keeps insects and rodents away.

"Ah!" A soft exclamation suddenly came from the bamboo building.

Ding Ding Deng

A beautiful woman ran out from the bamboo house, looking as if she wanted to jump right off. However, she changed direction and gracefully descended the ladder. When she reached Lin Xiaosu, her face was already red: "Brother!"

Lin Xiaosu reached out and hugged her waist, then pressed her warm lips against hers.

"Ah, no!" Yixiang quickly flipped her hand over and pressed it against his lips: "Mother will be back soon."

“Your mother just turned the corner, she’ll see me in a minute, there’s still time for a kiss…”

"Then you need to manage your time well, okay..."

The kiss lasted forty-five seconds. When Yixiang finally separated from him, she was limp and unable to walk, her eyes filled with seductive allure: "You naughty brother, you're touching me like that..."

Footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard gate.

The two arrived at the courtyard gate and opened it.

The old woman carrying a small basket looked up and saw her daughter with a rosy face and Lin Xiaosu with a big smile.

The flowers in the old man's heart are like wild chrysanthemums, blooming layer upon layer in a short time.

"Aunt!"

"Xiao Su, when did you arrive?" "Just now!"

"Yixiang, make some tea for your brother..." Mother said, "I'm cooking for you all. Here are some small river fish I just caught..."

In her basket, there really were small river fish, as well as several plants that Lin Xiaosu didn't recognize, which didn't look like medicinal herbs.

Lin Xiaosu said, "The water is very cold at this time of year, Auntie, are you still going into the water?"

"It's alright, I'm fine!" The auntie cheerfully went into the kitchen, then turned back at the kitchen door: "Xiao Su, why don't you go upstairs to Yixiang and have a cup of tea? It's a mess down here, I haven't cleaned it up."

Yixiang was overjoyed.

Let Lin Xiaosu into her bamboo house.

This was at my mother's request.

What does entering a bamboo house mean in the Miao people?
It means entering the daughter's bedroom.

In the past, even if she and her brother were actually in the guest room every day, playing those silly games, and the sheets were always wet, her brother never entered her bamboo house under her mother's nose.

Now, it's perfectly legitimate.

"Brother, take this and go up yourself!" Yixiang handed the teacup to Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu handed the gift bag at her feet to Yixiang, then carried the teacup up the bamboo house.

This bamboo house is quite unique.

Made entirely of bamboo, it is transparent on all four sides.

In summer, it is naturally very cool.

But it gets very cold in winter.

However, the wisdom of the working people is everywhere, and the curtains on all four sides of this bamboo house are a testament to that wisdom.

This curtain is made of three layers of hemp woven together and coated with a layer of some kind of oil. It shelters from the wind and rain, and when it is lowered on winter nights, the airy bamboo house instantly transforms into a warm little wooden cabin.

At this moment, the sun had not yet completely set, and its warm rays shone on the bamboo house. Lin Xiaosu sat in front of the tea table and saw a book.

This is the book that Yixiang just read.

When he arrived, Yixiang was reading the book.

The book is old, a thread-bound copy.

It's quite thick.

The cover features two ancient-style characters: "Witchcraft and Sorcery".

As he turned to the first page, his heart skipped a beat...

"The Way of Witchcraft and Sorcery, integrating the essence of ancient witchcraft and the seventeen forms of Sorcery, is the culmination of the wisdom of thirty-seven generations of ancestors, thus forming this book..."

The original text is in Chinese characters!

But below, there is a Miao translation.

This is her family's heirloom. Lin Xiaosu only read one page before stopping.

At the entrance of the bamboo house, Yixiang came up, holding Xiaohu in her arms, her face flushed: "Xiaohu said he wanted to come and see his brother...is that right, Xiaohu?"

They put the little white cat, Xiaohu, on the ground.

"Come here, Little Tiger!" Lin Xiaosu clapped her hands and made a hugging gesture.

Xiao Hu turned around, his backside facing Lin Xiaosu, and even wiggled a little.

Yi Xiang was both amused and exasperated.

Lin Xiaosu reached out and scooped Xiao Hu up: "What are you being so coy about? Come on, let me see, have you gained weight!"

He rubbed his body, rolled his eyes, and ignored him.

Lin Xiaosu rubbed her head, a little surprised: "How did you get a bump on your head?"

"I don't know how I bumped into it!" Yixiang said. "A few days ago, a lump suddenly appeared on my body."

It hasn't gone away after several days?
Lin Xiaosu touched him carefully, and his heart suddenly raced...

This is not a bag!

It contains bone structure!
This is a horn!
Yi Xiang might not be able to sense it, but he could. He could feel the terrifying power contained within the horn that was about to break through the skin—an otherworldly energy that he was very sensitive to.

Little Tiger is about to evolve!

what does this mean?
This means that its kitten disguise can no longer be hidden, and it will transform into the world's first divine beast from the ancient wilderness, "Aoji".

However, this is somewhat illogical.

The evolution of mythical beasts is not a simple matter, nor can it be accomplished in a short period of time. The lifespan of a mythical beast can easily reach thousands of years, and its evolutionary ladder should be measured in decades or centuries.

Why did it suddenly evolve?

Could it be that something unusual has happened at Peacock Valley?
The energy from another dimension has once again permeated the space, providing this little thing with the environment it needs to evolve?

"A few days ago? Did it go to Peacock Valley?"

"Yes, I took it to Peacock Valley that day. It kept bumping its head against the stone wall where you carved your name. It must have gotten the bump from that stone wall." Yixiang affectionately patted its little head. "You'll understand now, right? Although you're very brave, your head is made of flesh. If you bump into a stone, who else will get a bump if not you?"

He gave Xiaohu a good scolding and a lecture.

Little Tiger bowed his head and listened attentively, neither crying nor making a fuss; he was very well-behaved.

Yixiang looked up at the book on the table: "Brother, would you like to read this book?"

"Is that alright? This is a family heirloom."

Yixiang leaned half her body out of the bamboo house. Her mother was busy in the kitchen. She rolled her eyes and said, "Am I not a family heirloom? Doesn't my brother do it every day? I've given you everything, and you're still reluctant to part with a book?"

"My little darling, you're so insightful, I love you to death!" Lin Xiaosu picked her up and placed her on her lap.

Yi Xiang giggled in his arms, dodging his ever-present clutches, yet also coyly resisting. When her sensitive areas were harassed, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to let go, so she forced herself to escape and sat down opposite him.

Lin Xiaosu smiled gently: "How's retirement life?"

"Retirement?" Yixiang chuckled. "You know what, I really feel like I'm retired. I spend my days reading books in the bamboo house, digging for herbs on the mountain, and Changsheng Group pays me a salary of over ten thousand yuan a month on the 12th. All my sisters are incredibly envious."

"Who wouldn't envy this? Even cattle and horses in the world would envy it."

"Actually, I also have a mission! Really!" (End of Chapter)
