"At this point, it's definitely not Danzhu and Cangxuan."

"Danzhu is better. He sets an alarm when he sleeps in."

"But Cang Xuan completely relies on Danzhu, the humanoid alarm clock."

"If Danzhu hadn't reminded him, Cang Xuan would have slept until noon."

After taking a look at the figure in front of the stove, Ming Yue already came up with the answer.

Apart from Chi Yuan, there couldn't be anyone else on the boat.

Anyway, he certainly doesn't believe it:

A stranger would sneak into the ship's galley early in the morning and cook the food himself.

Amid the sizzling sound of the ingredients in the pot, Ming Yue came to the chef's side.

Under his gaze, Chi Yuan, wearing a white apron, skillfully used a spatula to evenly heat the meat.

Chi Yuan broke the shells of two eggs and poured the egg liquid into the pot.

After waiting for a few seconds, she quickly stir-fried the half-cooked egg yolk and the rest of the ingredients.

After a while, after making the special臊子, Chi Yuan put the noodles in another pot into a large white bowl filled with seasoning.

“This is my ordinary noodles from my hometown.”

"When I was little, whenever Dad was free, this was basically my breakfast on the way to school."

Without looking back, Chi Yuan carefully prepared Ming Yue's portion:

"By the way, do you eat cilantro?"

"Some people are not used to the smell of cilantro, while others cannot eat anything but cilantro."

Seeing her asking about her taste, Ming Yue spoke in a very casual tone, like a conversation between old friends:

"Mebius never liked cilantro. She thought it had a strange and disgusting smell."

"Later, Ai Li and I helped her correct it many times, and she gradually came to accept it."

"So, don't worry that I won't be able to eat it."

Hearing this, Chi Yuan nodded and put chopped coriander into the other person's bowl.

After a while, when the two of them picked up their bowls of noodles and walked onto the deck, the outside world had become much brighter.

Standing in front of the guardrail, Mingyue and Hua ate noodles together while chatting.

Lifting the bottom of the bowl with one hand, Chi Yuan looked at the clan residence where smoke was already rising, and asked slowly:

"Where do you plan to go after you leave the Kuafu Clan?"

"Or, continue traveling with us?"

After taking a mouthful of noodle soup, Ming Yue answered without hesitation:

"Of course I will continue traveling with you."

"Ji Lin and Hua's conditions are much better than I expected. They don't need to be trained from scratch."

"And your journey has just begun, there is plenty of time for them to gain more knowledge."

She was not surprised by his answer. Deep down, Chi Yuan was actually quite happy to continue traveling with the three of them.

Just like the name of the **Lone Traveler, it would be of great significance if she and Danzhu could have a few new companions on their lonely journey.

After completing the first stop of the trip, Chi Yuan recognized the crew members' identities as Ming Yue and others.

Take Ji Lin as an example——

In her opinion, the usually deserted boat had a chatterbox, and although it was a bit noisy, it also made the boat more lively than before.

As for his younger self from another world, Chi Yuan had no complaints at all.

Chi Yuan withdrew his gaze from a distance and then looked at Ming Yue in front of him.

Honestly, among the new crew members, the man whom Danzhu Cangxuan called a playboy was the one she paid the most attention to.

"maybe."

"But I have a feeling—"

"The journey ahead will not be smooth sailing."

Holding the porcelain bowl in both hands, Chi Yuan had a good reason:

"Decades have passed since we awakened from our slumber. Not only has humanity evolved, but Honkai has also progressed."

"Even in such a remote place, a high-level Honkai beast can appear. For the other clans with large numbers of people, the situation will probably be even worse."

"If we cannot nip the crisis in the bud, it will definitely not be a good thing for people in the new era."

"Forget about the Herrschers. Just dealing with a Judgment-level Honkai beast is enough to bring about their demise."

After hearing this, Ming Yue finally understood why Chi Yuan was not with Ji Lin and the others in the original timeline.

When the entire land of China is experiencing collapse and recovery, the guardian of China will inevitably be unable to cope with the situation and can only eliminate the dangers one by one.

This also set the stage for Chi Yuan's failure to rescue Danzhu and the others from Chi You in time.

After familiar old friends have left one after another, the red kite, wandering alone in the world, will face the true trials of life.

"If the future continues as planned, I have good news and bad news for you."

Putting down his chopsticks, Ming Yue revealed the answer to the mystery under Chi Yuan's gaze:

"If nothing unexpected happens, Herrscher won't appear during this period."

"And in contrast—"

"The upper-level Honkai beasts are constantly being killed."

"Chi You is an ancient Houkai beast that can be found in written records in later generations, but no one knows how many Judgment-level Houkai beasts there are that have not been recorded."

After saying this, Ming Yue gave Chi Yuan some time to think, and then he said:

"After leaving the Kuafu Clan, the next stop would be Yunmengze."

"The secrets hidden in that place are just as many as those in Yangshan."

168 The Hope of the Kuafu Clan

In the morning, at the Kuafu clan’s headquarters.

"What a shame! Immortal, you helped us solve the trouble caused by the monsters, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon."

In the ancestral hall, Ju looked at Ming Yue who had come to say goodbye, his face full of regret:

"We haven't taken good care of you, and I'm afraid you've been extremely disappointed."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have set off again after just half a day."

Ming Yue could certainly hear the clan leader's retreat-to-advance tactics to retain the clan.

But continuing to stay in Kuafu clan, apart from killing time, would no longer allow Ji Lin and others to grow.

However, considering Ju's identity, Ming Yue did not directly refuse, but tried to compromise:

"Chief, you are so polite."

"We were very satisfied with the banquet last night. Nowhere else can we find such hospitality as yours."

"At the same time, the customs of the Kuafu clan are also extremely unique, which is really insightful."

"And I'm coming to say goodbye to you now so that I don't leave too hastily this afternoon and can't even say goodbye."

Seeing that the other party slightly postponed the departure time, Ju knew that this was the biggest concession they could make.

In fact, there were only two main reasons why he tried to keep the other party for more time.

Firstly, I wanted to have an in-depth and simple exchange with this immortal to find out the causes of those monsters.

Otherwise, if we continue to treat the symptoms instead of the root cause as before, even if we kill all the monsters within a few miles of Yangshan at once, there will still be more ferocious beasts to spawn in the future.

Secondly, the immortals have always been elusive, and they don’t want to miss the opportunity to become immortals, so they plan to initiate a deal with the other party.

If the Kuafu clan could obtain the legendary magic weapon of the immortals, its status in the major tribes would surely rise in the future.

Even if the magic weapon is not powerful enough, the shadow of the famous tree can be used to confirm:

When other clans heard that they possessed magic weapons left by immortals, unless they were extremely brave, they would certainly be in awe and would not dare to provoke them.

Looking at Ming Yue, who showed no emotion, Ju was very active in his thoughts, but he also managed his expression very well, with a simple and honest face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Immortal!"

"It is the greatest honor for the Kuafu clan that you have the grace to stay for lunch!"

"Please..."

After a moment, after some extremely enthusiastic and pleasantries, Ju casually found an excuse to temporarily leave the hall and arrange the relevant matters as quickly as possible.

After a while, after everything was completely prepared, Ju Fang returned to the house with a little anxiety.

After paying his respects to Mingyue, the leader of the Kuafu clan spoke tentatively:

"My Lord, thanks to your divine power, the monsters deep within Yangshan have been annihilated."

"Do I need to send someone to eradicate them now, to prevent them from resurfacing in the future?"

Knowing that Ju was worried about the disposal of the Honkai Beast, Ming Yue sat on a simple wooden chair and slowly drank a sip of coarse tea:

"The whole story is very complicated, so I'll keep it short—"

"The reason those monsters appeared is that the demonic energy (Honkai energy) condensed in Yangshan has exceeded the upper limit of the local area."

"Yesterday, Chi Yuan and I razed Yangshan Mountain. In addition to killing the monster leader, we also cleared out the demonic energy stored within the mountain."

Upon hearing this, his face showed joy.

From the other party's words, he finally figured out the reason why those monsters kept coming.

After understanding the monsters' weaknesses, even if the immortal is no longer around in the future, he will have a way to solve the problem and won't be as clueless as before.

However, Ju did not feel at ease.

Based on his many years of social experience, he could vaguely guess—

The other party seemed to have something else to say.

He bowed his head and respectfully bowed to Ming Yue:

"The Immortal's act of saving all the people of the Kuafu clan is truly a meritorious deed!"

"We are not ungrateful and ungrateful people. Please accept Kuafu's gift."

Without directly asking for anything, I gave a very clear example:

When facing such an immortal who transcends the world, if the other party offers benefits on his own initiative, you can politely decline.

But if the other party didn't mention it, he must never ask for it.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. If you forget this, your fortune and misfortune may be unpredictable.

"There's one thing I didn't finish saying just now—"

"It may take five or six years, or as short as two or three years, for the demonic energy to regenerate."

"If you want to prevent monsters from appearing, you need to go to Yangshan for inspection every few months."

Seeing that Jianju wanted to give Mingyue a big gift before leaving, how could Mingyue not know that the other party was deliberately trying to show goodwill?

As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be grateful for what he has received. With Ji Lin's father's example, he could roughly guess the purpose of the proposal:

All they wanted was some items that could help the clan resist monsters.

Therefore, based on Ju's very sensible attitude, Mingyue continued:

"If you use ordinary objects, it will take a considerable amount of time to clear the evil spirit."

"As it happens, I have an evil-repelling stone (Houkai Energy Purifier) ​​in my hand, so I'll give it to you."

After saying that, under Ju's impatient gaze, something appeared in Ming Yue's palm.

After the other party took the props with both hands, Ming Yue did not forget to remind him:
