195: Totem Space

The faces of Xuan Jin and the other two darkened rapidly with worry. Xuan Jin tried to rush toward Nan Zhisui but was intercepted by several other priests.

"Zhi... Nan..." Xuan Jin, fearing he might ruin Nan Zhisui's plans if he made a mistake, gritted his teeth and called out to her as Long Yi watched. "You can't go with him!"

Xuan Jin didn't know exactly what had happened inside.

He only knew that he had to protect Nan Zhisui at all costs!

Long Yi wiped away another trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Nan Zhisui again.

Nan Zhisui said, "Xuan Jin, be good."

Xuan Jin: "..."

Wolf Day and Wolf Night: "..."

Wolf Day held him back.

He whispered in a voice only they could hear, "Listen to our female master. Once we're out, we'll immediately contact Chi Xiao, White Fox, and Lan Xing to find a way to save her."

The black snake looked at the blood remaining on Long Yi's lips, and an unbelievable thought crossed his mind.

No way.

It couldn't be, right??!

Nan Zhisui said to Long Yi, "Let them go."

Long Yi waved his hand at the several Eight-Patterned Priests, and they dispersed. Xuan Jin and the others followed Nan Zhisui's instructions and obediently left the Mining Area... Inside the largest Cave in the Mining Area, all the daily necessities for a beastman were readily available.

The floor was covered with the finest beast skins, the best beast meat was laid out, and the clearest water was provided.

Lion De, waiting outside the Cave, thought to himself, so this Zhi Nan is the Great Sage Zhi Nan that the High Priest has been searching for for five years.

Ying Li had said before that the High Priest treated Sage Zhi Nan differently.

Looking at it now, it was far beyond just 'different.'

On a large stone, the Black Dragon Male sat to one side with his naturally domineering temperament.

Nan Zhisui leaned against the other side.

To be fair, she did feel refreshed after pummeling Long Yi earlier.

But now, her entire skeletal structure and muscles were incredibly sore... Is this what overextending one's power feels like?

His dark eyes gazed at her seriously. "Are you hurt?"

Nan Zhisui was exhausted and didn't want to bother with him.

Long Yi stood up and walked toward her.

He knelt on one knee before her and grabbed her ankle.

Nan Zhisui's expression changed, and she kicked him hard, but she couldn't break free.

He took off one of her shoes.

Long Yi's gaze froze for a moment when he saw her exquisite little foot.

Five years later, had the young boy still not grown up? Her foot was actually so small; he found it indescribably cute.

Curiously, he used his palm to measure it.

Nan Zhisui quickly pulled her foot back. "Don't mind me, I'm not hurt."

Long Yi picked up some witch medicine and began to apply it to her, massaging her and rubbing her muscles.

For some reason, Long Yi seemed inexplicably well-behaved at this moment.

Almost like... a house husband hidden away at home?

An illusion.

This was definitely an illusion.

Nan Zhisui immediately sat up straight.

"Zhi Nan, where is the beast gods physical body?" Long Yi asked softly.

"It's not on me." Nan Zhisui didn't want him too close, so she used her small foot to push against his shoulder. "It's in the Mining Area."

Being stepped on by her foot, Long Yi's eyes darkened slightly.

"Where in the Mining Area?"

"I don't know that. You'll have to find it yourself."

"Since you hid it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find." Long Yi picked up her other leg, applying medicine and massaging it.

Nan Zhisui raised an eyebrow, finding it interesting, and goaded him. "Is the High Priest admitting defeat?"

Long Yi looked up at her and said, "Provoking me?"

She was provoking him.

She was just curious if he could find it.

Long Yi lowered his head and resignedly massaged her muscles. "Alright, I'll play along. I'll go look for it in a while."

After Long Yi set both her legs down, he massaged her back. Once she had comfortably fallen asleep, the tall Male Beastman finally stood up.

Even though he had been beaten up quite badly,

as long as he saw her here, he didn't feel embarrassed or angry... It was a very strange feeling.

Long Yi turned and strode out of the Cave.

In her dreams, the six totems on her body lit up simultaneously... Outside the Mining Area,

Xuan Jin was still leaning against a tree with his arms crossed, frowning in thought.

Wolf Day comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, I feel like the High Priest won't do anything to harm our female master."

"Heh. Of course he won't." Xuan Jin relaxed slightly.

It was just... strange... Could the Little Female actually beat the High Priest so decisively?

While they were talking, Xuan Jin suddenly felt a sense of summoning.

He was a bit surprised and simply coiled himself up like a mosquito coil.

Wolf Day and Wolf Night also suddenly felt the summoning. They found a large tree to sit against and closed their eyes.

At that same moment, in the Eastern High Mountains, the High Mountain Fire Red Eagle Chi Xiao felt the summoning. He quickly flew to a large tree, gripped a branch, and closed his eyes.

On the Eastern Coast, after Lan Xing and Chu Chen reached an agreement, the lazy Chu Chen finally agreed to become the Great Sea's Fish Consort to assist Nan Zhisui. Lan Xing was overjoyed when he suddenly felt the summoning; he hurried back to his clam shell bed and closed his eyes.

In the Eastern Forest, all the beastmen of Stone Village knelt before the incomparably handsome White Fox. Over a dozen nearby tribes all bowed their heads in submission to him.

White Fox held the hands of the four cubs, looking cold and aloof.

"Disperse."

"Yes, Lord."

White Fox's tone was cold and full of authority. "Remember, I am not the Lord. Nan Zhisui is."

"Yes, Lord White Fox!"

He also felt the summoning and said to the Little Cubs, "Aqi, Yanger, Xiao Xian, Xiao Mu, stay in the Cave and don't leave. I need to rest for a bit."

The four cubs said in unison, "Okay, Father White Fox!"

White Fox transformed into his fox form and lay on the stone bed.

The wisp of divine consciousness inside Nan Zhisui's body opened its eyes, shook its head helplessly, and then closed them again.

After a long time, Nan Zhisui stepped into the Totem Space once again.

In seven directions, seven totems glowed simultaneously.

The resentment on the two Silver Wolf totems had long since vanished.

They jumped out and circled around Nan Zhisui.

The fox totem, merman totem, black snake totem, and Chi Xiao totem also circled around her.

Only one totem, whose form was unclear but looked like deer antlers, remained disintegrated into several pieces.

Nan Zhisui recalled every previous totem dream and sat down.

The six totems stood in their respective six positions around her.

This time, the Totem Space seemed very different from before.

The black snake totem suddenly spoke, and it was Xuan Jin's voice. "Where is this? The Totem Space?"

The merman totem said, "Ah, so this place is real? Brother Xuan Jin, was that you speaking just now?"

Nan Zhisui was stunned.

The six totems were also stunned and began to chatter away.

White Fox said in surprise, "This place actually exists? We can communicate here?"

The black snake said, "Could this also be the Supernatural Ability of Moon Attraction Starlight? Allowing us to communicate through the totems?"

Nan Zhisui was very curious. "White Fox, Lan Xing, Xuan Jin, Chi Xiao, Wolf Day, Wolf Night—is it you?"

The six totems responded to her one after another.

"Yes, it's me."

"Mhm."

"I felt a summoning just now and instinctively sank into my consciousness, and then I ended up here."

"Same for me."

"Same on my end."

"Same."

Nan Zhisui said with pleasant surprise, "So you're saying we can have a group chat call here?"

The High Priest is totally infatuated with Sui Sui and has become a fool!!

...I love these two chapters to death, hahaha.

I feel like the beating was very satisfying.

(Star Mom is suffering from major writer's block, trying hard to write more, feeling dizzy)

Oh, right, my original plan was just seven beast husbands, and there was no room for the High Priest.

I'm planning to respect everyone's thoughts now.

The High Priest's plot indeed has a twist. (The babies in this novel are all detectives; I feel like I shouldn't give spoilers)

But,

whether to accept him or not is up to you babies!
