Chapter 50 - Milky frowned, and felt that things weren’t that simple. (1/2)

Lin Mu’s words had caused both Da Hei, who was in the know, and the humans, who weren’t in the know, feel a little unexpected.

Da Hei was thinking about the fact that Lin Mu hadn’t been killed despite keep a great monster like Yan Xuanjing as a pet, and felt that this really couldn’t be explained with a single ‘not bad’.

In addition, the Old Turtle had hinted to him that Lin Mu’s bloodline wasn’t simple, and Da Hei didn’t make any real sense of it yet. Now, after placing Lin Mu and the nine-tailed fox as equals, he felt that it was a little amazing.

He could treat a nine-tailed fox like this — and this nine-tailed fox was still the next young leader of Qingqiu Country, without anything happening to him. No matter how Da Hei thought about it, it must be because ofsome exceptional bloodline or background.

And connecting it with Lin Mu’s blank parentage and initial confusion about everything, the only answer was that his bloodline was something exceptional.

The human side had thought more about it.

They had a cooperative relationship with the sub-district office, after all, they were all in the same civil service system, and their salary also came down from the top, so naturally, they had in their hands Lin Mu’s information.

However, they didn’t really care too much about Lin Mu, because Lin Mu’s information and resume looked really ordinary, and he was still a half-monster. Also, he hadn’t taken part in the previous mission to hunt down Di Wu, so he probably was just a common salaryman.

In the end, this salaryman could say that his relationship with the nine-tailed fox wasn’t bad!

The few humans looked at each other, and were still in a state of disbelief.

This demon looked really young and tender, similar to an ordinary human, and didn’t seem that strong when one looked at his combat effectiveness and aggressiveness, so how could he be friends with the nine-tailed fox?

But a book couldn’t be judged by its cover, they still understood this fact.

The human who was capable of making the decision sighed, and asked, “if you go and ask, by when would you be able to get a reply?”

Lin Mu heard his words, pursed his lips, smiled, then took out his phone, “I can do it now.”

The few humans became dumbfounded.

Da Hei waved his hand, “then you should go and ask quickly, Lin Xiaomu.”

“Okay.” Lin Mu went out and called Yan Xuanjing.

When Yan Xuanjing received the call, he was picking up a letter in the main mountain of the Qingyao Mountains.

The passage between the Central Plains and the Great Wilderness was in the middle of the mountain, and for monsters, it wasn’t difficult to enter into the mountain.

The Great Wilderness had sent Yan Xuanjing a letter again, and this time, it wasn’t Yan Gui who sent the letter. Because Yan Gui’s investigation was going smoothly, he had simply stayed in the Central Plains to protect Di Wu.

This letter came from Yan Xuanjing’s mother.

The letter in his hand carried a bewitching aroma, and just as Yan Xuanjing prepared to open the letter, his mobile phone vibrated.

The only one who would dial this number was Lin Mu.

Yan Xuanjing held the letter in his hand and answered the phone.

Lin Mu stood on the side of the street as the watched sporadic cars and pedestrians passed by, then whispered, “could I ask you for a favour, Milky?”

His voice was low, and slightly hoarse, and it was obvious that he was in low spirits.

Yan Xuanjing frowned slightly.

A few rabbits with families had just exited the passageway, and with a raise of their heads, saw a great monster in low spirits. They were so frightened that they retreated and hid in the passageway again.

Yan Xuanjing glanced over in that direction, lifted his foot and went out of the mountain, then asked, “what happened?”

Lin Mu opened his mouth, and just as he wanted to say what happened, he looked around him and changed his words.

“I’ll tell you the specifics when I reach home. It’s just that there’s some humans that came to our office, and said that recently, there’s too many monsters coming from the Great Wilderness, and they’re afraid something would happen. I proposed that we seal the mountains, and they all agreed, but they’re afraid that you would mind.”

“Seal the mountains? You……” Yan Xuanjing paused, and faintly realised that there was something in Lin Mu’s words. After hearing that Lin Mu would tell him when they returned, he swallowed back his words and corrected Lin Mu, “Qingyao Mountain isn’t my territory.”

Lin Mu was stunned, “but everybody was saying that the head of Qingyao Mountain was a nine-tailed fox.”

“Rumours.” Yan Xuanjing finished, then looked up at the Qingyao Mountain’s God lying on a rock on the side of a mountain basking in the sun, and said, “I’ll ask the Mountain God for you.”

Lin Mu also didn’t quite understand ways it worked, and after hearing Yan Xuanjing’s words, he nodded, “oh, okay.”

Yan Xuanjing’s relationship with the Mountain God wasn’t bad, after hearing that he wanted to seal the mountains, the Mountain God had no problem.

It was just sealing the mountains, and not levelling the mountains. For this kind of matter, the mountain god had nothing to say.

And sealing the mountains might make it more fun, and the Mountain God felt as if he might be able to catch a few monsters to play with him.

He’d made a bunch of chess and card games recently, and was worried that nobody would play with him.

Yan Xuanjing conveyed his words to Lin Mu, didn’t relax when he heard Lin Mu’s muffled reply, and said, “come back and explain things, I will help you.”

“……”

Lin Mu slightly paused, listened to the faint wind sounds and crying birds from the other side of the phone, gave a long sigh, rubbed his face, and his tone relaxed a little, “then, thank you so much.”

Yan Xuanjing heard Lin Mu’s words, and his frown eased a little, but he still didn’t feel that okay.

He didn’t think more about it, and just followed along his own thoughts and naturally said, “there’s no need to say thank you.”

On the other side of the phone, Lin Mu said leaned against the wall, opened his mouth, and picked at the wall behind him as he whispered, “if I don’t say thank you, what can I say?”

Yan Xuanjing was stuck by this question.

His brows furrowed a little more, felt confused because he was unable to grasp the answer, and also felt weak and was inexplicably nervous.

Nervous.

Yan Xuanjing looked down at his hand that was holding the letter, and felt that no matter what, he should not be nervous when talking with Lin Mu, this weak half-monster.

It’s not as if Lin Mu’s an enemy.

What’s more, he wasn’t a strong monster, so there wasn’t any need for him to be nervous.

Both ends of the phone fell into silence.

In the end, Yan Xuanjing chose to skip over this topic and said, “come back earlier.”
