Chapter 74: Change In Ownership Of Dragon City

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek

Qin Mu was bewildered, ”Why isn't granny's back hunched anymore? She seemed to be rolling around excitedly on her bed…”

The next day, Qin Mu woke up and realized Granny Si wasn't in her room anymore, but breakfast was already prepared.

The youth washed up and ate breakfast before going downstairs to look for Granny Si and Blind. Both of them had already prepped the cow cart and loaded the seasonings and fabric they had bought onto the cart.

What puzzled Qin Mu was that Blind was harnessing three bullocks in front of the cart. There were also another three big bullocks following behind the cow cart.

All six bullocks looked at Qin Mu and fear could be seen in their eyes as they shivered.

”Granny, didn't we sold all six cows?” Qin Mu questioned.

Granny Si yawned and slowly said, ”I simply found it hard to fall asleep yesterday night, therefore, granny went out and bought another six cows.”

Qin Mu was skeptical and saw the six big bullocks shaking their heads. He didn't know what they were trying to say as they could only moo.

It was still early morning when the cow cart was driven out of the city. There were already some horse carts on the road as the villagers who came into the city to trade took advantage of the early morning to return to their villages, hoping that they could make it back before nightfall.

Qin Mu drove the cart to the pier and the river was already churning. There were numerous villagers worshiping the river gods and summoning the River Carriers. Beside the shore, the big-nosed River Carriers were enjoying the smell of the incense and puffing out big rings of smoke. Some River Carriers were already carrying villagers who were returning from a rewarding trip.

Blind also offered incenses at the riverside to summon a River Carrier. He fed it some food and Qin Mu drove the cow cart onto the back of the River Carrier. The huge beast started to swim upstream.

The river flowed majestically from the west to the east. When they came, they floated down from upstream. Now that they were going upstream from downstream, the water resistance ought to be very strong.

However, the River Carrier's speed was no slower than when it was floating down. With this speed, they only need to rest a night at Grandma Temple and will return to Disabled Elderly Village the next day.

Unknowingly, they had traveled seventeen miles on the river. Granny Si's expression moved slightly. Carrying her basket, she smiled and said, ”My work is here. Blind, you two move on ahead.”

Blind nodded and warned, ”Be careful.”

Granny Si leaped and suddenly vanished without a trace.

Qin Mu looked upwards and saw Granny Si in the air without dropping down for quite a long time.

Blind, on the other hand, was used to it and was not concerned as he stood upright with his cane, facing the wind.

Not long after, Qin Mu suddenly saw that in the sky behind them, a cloud suddenly became blood red. Bloody rain then started to pour from the sky, staining Surging River scarlet red.

”What happened in the sky?”

Just as he was thinking about it, a head dropped down from the bloody cloud and into the river.

Qin Mu's hair stood on their ends. He saw the face clearly the instant the head had fallen into the river. It was the yellow-faced woman who was in City Lord's Manor!

Qin Mu raised his head. What exactly happened up in that cloud?

That rain came quickly and went away quickly as well. The bloody rain that stained the river red seemed like it was only an illusion. As the river water flowed downstream, it soon regained it clarity.

Qin Mu washed off the blood stains on his body. He waited for quite some time but Granny Si still didn't appear. However, Blind was still calm and wasn't even the slightest worried.

Right at this moment, Qin Mu suddenly felt a wave of force that made his heart palpitated. Coming from the downstream of Surging River, it was world-shaking and extremely terrifying. Even the River Carrier under their feet became uneasy and increased its speed to swim upstream.

Blind's ears suddenly twitched and he shouted, ”Mu'er, get a stable footing and don't fall into the river!”

Qin Mu immediately got a stable footing. It was as if his feet grew roots into the back of the River Carrier. Only now did he hear a peculiar whooshing sound coming from his back, making him dumbstruck as he turned his head to have a look.

He could only see the huge river behind them rising higher and higher rapidly. The river was actually flowing in reverse from downstream to upstream!

At this moment, the river surface downstream was already thirty yards over both sides of the shore. As the towering snow white waves surged forth, it came crashing down towards them!

The huge waves got closer and closer to them and the water splashed frantically towards both sides, flooding the dense forest on both shores. The terrifying waves surged forth and the whooshing sound turned into a world-shaking rumble as if a few hundred thunderclaps had broken out in a valley!

Qin Mu felt a chill down his spine as he saw the excessive splashes from the huge waves fading away to reveal a huge hand. This hand was almost as wide as the river surface as it pushed mercilessly from downstream up!

Blind remained calm and collected as if he didn't notice the terrifying situation behind them.
