Three Kingdoms Lords: Starting by walking into the mouth of a giant python

Chapter 109 Winged Elves

Chicheng decisively defeated the Xianbei and Outer Mongolia, pursuing them for dozens of miles and annihilating tens of thousands of enemies.

Chu Tiankuo and Gongsun Zan were overjoyed at this great victory, while Xia Yu was somewhat disappointed. It wasn't until Zhang Fei returned carrying Tan Shihuai's corpse that the former Wuhuan captain grinned, relieved.

Everyone asked Zhang Fei how he killed Tan Shihuai.

Zhang Fei shook his head, saying that he did not kill the body; it was the gentleman who pointed out the place to dispose of the body, and it should be the gentleman who did the killing.

Everyone suddenly realized, but they weren't surprised.

Chu Tiankuo asked, "Where is Master Zhuge now?" Guan Yu replied, "My brother has returned to the city to rest."

It was now past the crowing of the roosters and dawn was approaching. After the joy of the occasion, weariness began to creep in. With everything settled, they all returned to Chicheng.

Li Yu carried nine volumes of the [Fanghu] book.

The residents of [Immortal Abode] were still fast asleep. Lu Jiu sank underground and fled to [Immortal Garden], while Li Yu stepped into the Lord's Mansion.

In the hall, the little sparrow slept soundly, and the young lady dozed off. Beside her, [Snake Princess] Ya Ya closed her eyes, her tail tip gently swaying.

The moment Li Yu entered, Jiang Yaya opened her eyes. The young woman's head hit the table, and she rubbed her forehead in a daze, but upon hearing footsteps, she abruptly opened her eyes. Seeing it was Li Yu, she smiled.

At the same time, [Thirteen Ants] leaped out of her chest and pounced.

Li Yu, still carrying the tiny baby, exchanged a few words with the young lady and then told her to go back to her room to sleep. The young lady nodded; with her husband back, she felt relieved and called the sleepy little sparrow back to her room.

Li Yu told [Snake Princess] to go rest as well, and then went to take a bath by himself.

Feeling refreshed, Li Yu lay down in the bedroom and drifted off to sleep. [Thirteen Ants] crawled into his palm, and Li Yu instinctively clenched his fist. The tiny creature rubbed against his index finger, and a snoring sound began.

Not long after, a snake's tail crawled up to the head of the bed and slowly pushed the pillow under Li Yu's neck out, replacing it.

-----

On June 23, in a [spiritual field], Li Yu used [construction blueprint - Wan Hui Gege Temple].

"Ten Thousand Returns Brother Temple"

[Rank] Heavenly Grade

[Attribute] Traffic +300, and gain 1 [Ten Thousand Return Talisman] per day.

[Description] Wan Huishi was a native of Wenxiang. He was considered foolish and ignorant, lacking in spiritual energy, and even his parents treated him like a pig or a dog. His elder brother was exiled to Anxi, and they lost all contact with him. His parents believed he was dead and wept day and night. Suddenly, Wan Huishi knelt down and said, "Is your weeping not out of worry for your brother? I will see."

One morning, he brought the gifts he had prepared, and that evening he returned home and told his parents, "My brother is well."

Upon examining the letter, it was found to be the work of his elder brother, which surprised the entire family. Hongnong had traveled over ten thousand li to Anxi, and because he returned after such a long journey, it was called "Ten Thousand Returns." — *The Record of the Creation of Heaven*

-----

Upon entering the small temple, one is greeted by a statue of a disheveled, smiling man. Dressed in green, he holds a drum in his left hand and a stick in his right; this is "Brother Wan Hui," also known as the God of Harmony.

A jade talisman appeared on the incense table in front of the statue of the god, and Li Yu picked it up to take a look.

-----

[Wan Hui Fu]: Even if a person is thousands of miles away, they can return in an instant.

-----

It's similar to a [return scroll] in online games, allowing you to travel thousands of miles, which is extremely convenient.

Arriving at [Fairy Garden] again, Li Yu opened another [blueprint].

-----

Golden Apple Garden

[Rank] Heavenly Grade

[Attribute] Writing style +300. One [Golden Apple] is harvested from the garden each year, and winged creatures appear irregularly.

[Description] A paradise for elves, a fantasy land for all living beings.

-----

An orchard measuring one acre appeared before everyone's eyes.

It's called an orchard, but there's only one tall apple tree; the rest are all weeds and shrubs.

Dozens of green apples, ranging in size from a thumb to a fist, hung on the apple tree, emitting an enticing fragrance.

[Thirteen Ants] smelled the fragrance and leaped onto a fruit. But before she could even stand still, a soft shout rang out from a nearby branch.

A blonde girl flapped her white wings and swooped down.

[Thirteen Ants] was startled. With a wave of his small hand, he conjured a ball of water out of thin air and threw it at the girl.

The girl muttered incantations, and the water bullet suddenly stopped in mid-air. [Thirteen Ants] was unconvinced and was about to cast a spell when Li Yu stopped her.

The blonde girl immediately flashed a bright smile upon seeing Li Yu.

She flew to the ground, folded her wings, and her long white dress fell to the ground, completely covering her horse legs.

The young girl bowed to Li Yu, her eyes sparkling with a smile.

[Rank] Earth Rank

[Fate] 1/2

[Level] Strength 86, Intelligence 50

[Characteristic] Winged

[Talents] Vire's Eye, Spa

[Equipment] Magic Armor

[Characteristics - Winged] It has two wings on its back, like a bird in flight.

[Gift·Hydrotherapy] Use hydrotherapy to treat illnesses, prepare for ailments and recuperate.

[Magic Robe] Wearing this robe allows one to control wells and lakes, and casts a spell to "seal off" water sources.

----------

Samovere, also known as Vere, was a female spirit from Yugoslavia, depicted as a young girl with the legs of a goat, horse, or donkey.

They fly like birds and live in the mountains. They are extremely friendly to people, especially men, and help the weak and orphans. But if you anger them, they will retaliate severely, even killing with their gaze.

They are skilled at healing and can predict people's death dates. However, they themselves cannot live forever.

Although the blond-haired, blue-eyed [Vire] was barefoot, he was only about the same height as Li Yu. Compared to him, the little maid, the young lady, and the [bald queen] wearing a [fire rat fur] all looked like three children.

After Li Yu introduced the group to each other, he brought out the [Fanghu].

At the courtyard gate, Guan Yu lay resting with his eyes closed. Zhang Fei huddled beside him, chattering incessantly, not caring whether he responded. Upon seeing Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei was overjoyed: "Sir, you've risen? Have you had breakfast?"

Guan Yu stepped forward to pay his respects.

[Zhuge Liang] nodded, and the three of them chatted as they made their way to the city lord's mansion.

This morning, the Xianbei people were defeated and fled. Chicheng has regained its former vitality and is filled with laughter and joy.

Many people recognized the three men and wanted to approach them. [Zhuge Liang] found it troublesome. Guan Yu saw this, his face hardened, and he waved away the crowd that was gathering.

The City Lord's Mansion, [Reception Hall].

The food was plentiful, including deer, cattle, sheep, rabbits, turtles, fish, shrimp, melons, fruits, and vegetables.

When Zhuge Liang and his two companions arrived, Chu Tiankuo, Xia Yu, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and everyone else came out to greet them.

After some arguing, [Zhuge Liang] took the seat of honor.

A few braying sounds came from the doorway; Luo Meng and Lü Yi had brought over a dozen jars of [Huangpin·Jinlu Wine] on black donkeys.

--------

"Towel-filtered wine"

[Rank] Yellow.

[Attribute] Drinking this wine will temporarily increase [Literary Ability] by 50 for 4 hours.

[Description] The yellow flowers are in full bloom, and I'll strain the wine with a towel under the fence. Success, so be it; fame, so be it.

--------

Removing one's towel to strain wine was an elegant practice of Tao Yuanming.

Chu Tiankuo raised his wine bowl and said with a smile, "Let's drink to our hearts' content today and be like the Little Five Willows of Chicheng."

Everyone burst into laughter and raised their bowls to drink together.

What followed was a lively gathering with toasts and guests enjoying themselves immensely.

During the meal, Chu Tiankuo, watching Zhuge Liang drink three bowls of wine without changing his expression, couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you truly Prime Minister Zhuge? Or have you truly traveled from another time?"

Everyone looked over.

[Zhuge Liang] did not answer him, but instead said to Chu Tiankuo: "Alliance Leader Chu has the Mountain-Driving Bell and [Peng Keng's Qi Guiding Technique] on him. He can easily dominate the northern frontier and enjoy fifty years of peace."

Chu Tiankuo's pupils contracted. Everyone in Chicheng knew that he possessed the [Immortal Grade Mountain-Driving Bell], but no one else knew that he also had a Heaven-Grade cultivation method, the [Peng Keng Qi Guiding Technique].

How could Zhuge Liang know this? Could he really have traveled from another time?

And fifty years of peace?

Only fifty years?

Chu Tiankuo fell into deep thought, wanting to ask, "What about fifty years from now?", but then he saw [Zhuge Liang] point at Gongsun Zan again and say, "General Gongsun trampled the Three Hans and destroyed the Eastern Ying, his achievements are immeasurable."

"Thank you for your kind words, Prime Minister." Gongsun Zan laughed heartily. [Zhuge Liang] raised his cup to drink with him, then pointed to Liu Bei, "How is Xuande?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhuge Liang said, "Lord Xuande has extraordinary opportunities; there is no place in the world he cannot go. Just remember one thing."

Liu Bei looked over curiously.

"Remember, do not have any involvement with Sun Jian's family. Absolutely not!"

[Zhuge Liang] said with great conviction.
