Chapter 402: Chapter 277: Time for Reunion

...

The entire evening was spent eating and chatting, and even the usually indifferent sun allowed a smile to appear on her face as she watched how the seasons danced on the table.

Thanks to their host, Yan Xiaobao finally decided it was time for him and the others to reunite with Sha Yun and the wild poppy.

Upon departure, their group was smaller in number than last week, yet there was palpable joy in the air. Now it was just their usual party, and Yan Xiaobao shared a detailed description of the City Lord and his elders’ appearances. This brought a slight smile to Wang Julong’s face as she imagined the expressions of these men. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

With Mr. Sunx joining their group, Wang Julong seemed more open than before, her joy evident as she finally reunited with her beloved flowers. She found the long-haired poppies utterly adorable, though Yan Xiaobao and Deng Wu struggled to share her sentiment. Whenever they observed the large flowers laden with lethal thorns and toxic gases, they felt uneasy yet couldn’t help but soften as they caught sight of Julong’s expression. Every time she mentioned the little poppy flowers, they couldn’t resist smiling to themselves.

Yan Xiaobao rushed ahead as best he could, making the journey to the tunnel gates swift. However, once the gates were in sight, he slowed down deliberately, and together they approached the guards at a measured, steady pace.

When they first came here with Mr. Sunx, it was a similar scene. Seeing the black-cloaked men, the guards’ faces turned nearly ashen, their fear stark in their eyes. Rumors of black-cloaked men slaughtering guards had become a widespread topic in Cave’s End City. These two guards, in particular, felt especially vulnerable, knowing that they had interacted with such men before. When they first came here with Mr. Sunx, it was a similar scene.

Now standing before the guards, Yan Xiaobao nodded resolutely, noticing the fear etched on the faces of the two guards. Suddenly, an unexpected thought flashed through his mind.

Just as he was about to step through the gate, he paused briefly, then turned once more toward the forest. Yan Xiaobao raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and struck it against the left side of his chest, directly above his heart. He then bowed deeply toward the forest.

"Farewell, oh Forest King," he said with a solemn tone, his voice transformed, now sounding neither like himself nor like the Forest King. Instead, it had an eerie, squeaking quality. After speaking, he lingered for a moment, then decisively turned and nodded at the two guards before again stepping into the tunnel.

As soon as Yan Xiaobao and his friends entered the tunnel, the two guards exchanged looks for a moment, then hurried back to Cave’s End City to report the incident.

"I told you, it’s only three this time!" one guard exclaimed excitedly as he recounted the events. "I’m sure they seem to merely follow the Forest King’s home. He wasn’t with them, and they even paid him homage before leaving."

Sitting in his hall, a sigh slipped from the City Lord, still visibly shaken. Whenever he thought about what happened with his guards, uncontrollable fear crawled over him, causing his entire body to tremble once again.

"Issue a decree banning anyone from entering the forest," he said in a trembling voice. "Though we have never utilized those woods, they are still considered our land. However, in light of this so-called King’s savage acts, we are left with no choice but to abide by his rules."

Seated in his chair, a fleeting look of helplessness crossed his face. Even the elders shook their heads regretfully. Although they felt displeased, none of them voiced complaints, as each one vividly recalled their prior encounters with the so-called King. It was simply too terrifying to insult him.

....

While Cave’s End City busied itself lamenting the loss of the forest, Hui Yue and his friends finally met up with Sha Yun and the little poppy flowers. Ever since they had departed, they had been waiting patiently within the tunnels.

The moment Yan Xiaobao walked through the gate, he caught sight of Sha Yun’s overly excited expression, which filled him with even more guilt. Firm in his resolve, Yan Xiaobao rummaged through his Memory Stone until he found a pouch filled with candies. He quickly handed them to his serpentine friend, and seeing those sweets made her smile tenfold brighter.

Hui Yue laughed cheerfully and gave his tall friend a big hug, catching Sha Yun completely off guard. Her cheeks reddened from embarrassment, her hands twitching in surprise and nearly dropping the gifted candies.

"Well done. Now you’re only a little bit away from having snake babies," Lan Feng’s voice echoed from the depths of the Dantian Cave. Yan Xiaobao sighed deeply, knowing Phoenix would never cease their incessant talk of snake babies unless Yan Xiaobao truly created some of his own.

Yan Xiaobao awkwardly released the Snake Woman, yet when their group fully regrouped, his face was full of bright smiles. However, his grin quickly froze, his eyes widened, threatening to pop out of his head as he stared at the little poppy flower.
