198: The Passion of the City of Beasts

Long Yi leaned in close, "Do you want me to serve you?"

Nan Zhisui immediately bristled, "No, I don't want that! I'll wash by myself. I'm naturally shy and don't like others watching me."

If Long Yi saw her bathing, wouldn't that be blowing her cover immediately?

She didn't want to blow her cover just yet.

Long Yi lowered his head, staring at such a formidable little thing.

The way she bristled was truly quite cute.

Long Yi examined her thick beast skin coat and accepted this explanation.

He gazed at her, his fingers gently brushing against her cheek as he tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, saying, "Alright."

Long Yi had prepared the type of beast skin skirt that a Male would wear for her.

Nan Zhisui shook out the beast skin skirt. The beast skin leather was extremely soft, a very attractive black and white Male-style beast skin skirt. The size fit her well, but it didn't provide full coverage.

Who was this supposed to entice if she wore it?

She washed the mud off her entire body in the hot spring. Just then, she happened to see some scent-masking Momo Grass on the bank, so she smeared it all over herself.

Afterwards, she put on the black and white Male-style beast skin skirt.

There were no mirrors here, so Nan Zhisui didn't know what she looked like wearing it.

But it shouldn't be bad.

She shook out her hair, feeling it looked too soft and feminine, so she messed around with it a bit until she felt she looked like a Male before letting it fall.

She also took makeup out from her spatial storage to paint her face to look as heroic and spirited as before, and only then did she walk out from behind.

Long Yi's eyes lit up.

The youth before him was vibrant and spirited; long, jet-black hair was tied high atop his head. His face was delicate yet retained a heroic air, and his features exuded a sense of boldness.

The black and white beast skin skirt outlined clean lines on him, looking even better than he had imagined!

The Black Dragon Male was stunned for a moment.

"Zhi Nan."

"Hmm."

Having taken off the tube-like beast skin skirt, she felt a whole lot lighter.

She walked in front of him and turned around, her black hair flying with the motion. Long Yi's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

"You haven't been to Myriad Beast City for many years. Would you like to walk around Myriad Beast City?"

...

Long Yi gripped her hand tightly, leading her as they walked through the Myriad Beast City they had once set foot in.

It was as if he were afraid others wouldn't see, so he held her hand tightly all the way from the south side of the city to the north.

"Myriad Beast City doesn't seem to have changed much," Nan Zhisui said, looking around. "The Little Cubs still love to climb trees, merchants still argue because their scales aren't accurate when selling things, and the Sacred Fire is still burning brightly."

Long Yi felt his palms sweating, yet he was afraid she would find his hands sticky.

He took advantage of the moment she let go to quickly wipe them, then immediately held her hand again.

"Hmm, there haven't been any changes in Myriad Beast City. Many people have been waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?" Nan Zhisui was very surprised.

Long Yi chuckled softly, "Do you have some misunderstanding about your influence in Myriad Beast City?"

Just as he was speaking, a Beastman quickly recognized her, "Sage Zhi Nan!! Look quickly, it's Sage Zhi Nan!!!"

"What? Sage Zhi Nan? Where?"

"Over there, right there!"

"The good-looking Little Male that the High Priest is holding!"

In an instant, a swarm of Beastmen crowded in front of Long Yi and Nan Zhisui.

Everyone first politely bowed to Long Yi, "Greetings, High Priest."

Long Yi gave a slight nod to everyone.

Very quickly, a group of people swarmed around Nan Zhisui.

Everyone was excited and thrilled.

"Sage Zhi Nan, you've finally returned. This old man still has many problems he doesn't know how to solve."

"Me too, I have eight cubs at home, but only three pieces of meat. How should I divide this?"

"And my family, my family has problems too!"

After chattering for a while, the Beastmen all said again.

"Sage, we really missed you after you left."

"The other Sages don't know as much as you."

"That's right, not as much as you!"

"I told my cubs to learn from you. He said he didn't know Sage Zhi Nan! I was so angry. Now that you're back, I can finally let my cubs learn from you again."

Nan Zhisui leaned back slightly, looking towards Long Yi for help.

Long Yi couldn't help but laugh, pushing through the crowd. "She's timid, don't scare her."

The Beastmen chattered again:

"Oh, that's right, that's right, scatter quickly, scatter quickly."

"Why is Sage Zhi Nan so good-looking? It seems like you've become even better looking than before."

As they spoke, the Beastmen even gave her the meat, beast skin, salt, and various other good things they had in their hands.

Nan Zhisui was truly moved by the enthusiasm of the Beastmen of Myriad Beast City.

"Thank you, thank you."

Long Yi took the initiative to help her carry things, but as he carried them, he became unhappy again.

He couldn't hold her hand.

After finally finishing the pleasantries with everyone, Long Yi wrapped all the items on his body in a single beast skin, carried them, and after freeing up one hand, he subtly took her hand again.

"Myriad Beast City has a cooked food stall," Long Yi said.

"Huh?" Nan Zhisui was very surprised.

After Nan Zhisui left, whenever Long Yi walked through Myriad Beast City, he felt there should be a cooked food stall in that spot, where the clever Zhi Nan would turn cooked food into more wealth.

So later, he found a Beastman who knew how to use fire and asked him to go there to sell cooked meat.

It just so happened that the Beastman also liked Nan Zhisui's cooked meat, so he agreed.

Long Yi said, "Five years ago, you opened a cooked food stall in Myriad Beast City. After you left, everyone really missed the cooked meat you made."

"Later, a Sage who knew how to use fire rented your old stall and sold cooked meat for everyone to eat."

"Although it's not as delicious as what you made, everyone likes it very much."

Long Yi led Nan Zhisui to the cooked food stall, and the owner of the stall was actually one of the Sages she had met before.

Nan Zhisui was very surprised and stepped forward to greet him.

The Sage was extremely happy to see Nan Zhisui and quickly gave the cooked meat he had made to Nan Zhisui, "Sage Zhi Nan, you've returned. Try the meat I made."

It was simple boiled meat, very fragrant. "It's delicious."

"It's not as delicious as what you made. I really can't master your method, so I just make it simple to satisfy everyone's cravings."

"Sage Zhi Nan, where did you go after you left Myriad Beast City? Everyone has been thinking of you."

Nan Zhisui felt warm inside. "Thank you."

The Beastmen beamed at her.

After dark, Long Yi took Nan Zhisui back to the Priest Hall.

Along the way, Nan Zhisui had been fed by the Beastmen of Myriad Beast City; she was full, and her heart felt warm and fuzzy.

...

After returning to the Priest Hall, Long Yi settled Nan Zhisui in and then went out.

Ying Li brought fresh and delicious food to Nan Zhisui's room, and he knocked on the door.

Nan Zhisui asked, "Who is it?"

"Great Sage Zhinan, it is I. I am the Priest, Ying Li."

Priest Ying Li?

Nan Zhisui remembered; he was one of the three Priests who had sent her to the Mining Area.

He, along with Hu Qian and Bao He, had seen her in her female attire.
