Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: Mad Animals
The clan leader’s daughter’s marriage is a significant event, and after receiving Chi Xun’s invitation, the other seven major families all sent messengers carrying gifts to attend Yi Rou and Chen Song’s wedding celebration.
Because Chen Song is from the Muyin family, Clan Leader Cang Zuo arrived with his wife and daughter Xiao Meng to attend.
The Panhu family was unable to come, so Pu Chen sent Yun Cheng with gifts.
The clan leader of Midair City, Jiu Ge, also did not come but sent Ah Xia instead. Qin Sisi was very happy to see Ah Xia. When old friends meet, a little reminiscing is inevitable.
Chi Xun was initially reluctant to send an invitation to the Phantom Spirit family, but upon reflection, he thought, why not send it? He insisted on sending it, just to show them Yi Rou and Chen Song’s happiness, to make some people uncomfortable.
The older generation of the Phantom Spirit family did not appear but sent Meng Yu with gifts. Faced with a young and courteous junior, Chi Xun found it difficult to say much.
Teachers from the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle also came to the wedding, including Master Yipiao.
The wedding lasted two days. On the third day was Yi Rou and Chen Song’s ceremony to accept Qin Sisi as their adopted daughter, and this time, Qin Sisi became the main character in receiving gifts.
The Seven Major Families and Heavenly Magic God’s Castle also gave gifts to Qin Sisi. The level of these gifts certainly didn’t compare to Yi Rou and Chen Song’s wedding gifts; the gifts from the Qing Ming Family and Phantom Spirit family were quite ordinary, but Qin Sisi didn’t mind, she simply kept those heartfelt gifts in her memory.
For instance, the Muyin family’s ten Invisible Grass, the Panhu family’s hundred woven flowers, Seven Pearl City’s thousand fine pearls, Midair City’s ton of Chixia Mountain gold ore...
Master Shuoyu from the Jin Gang family then gave a promise: as long as Qin Sisi could collect enough materials, he would help upgrade her weapon for free.
To upgrade the Moon Spirit Golden Feather to the seventh-level, one needs to hunt seven Seventh Order Moon Spirit Golden Peacocks. Shuoyu and Ru Lin didn’t have that ability, and in terms of collecting materials, they indeed couldn’t help.
But this promise was enough to make Qin Sisi very happy because it was something she really needed.
Finally, Yi Rou gave Qin Sisi three gifts: a bottle of snake oil ointment to make the skin fair and smooth, a bottle of snake venom that could cause instant death, and a snakeskin covered with scales.
Yi Rou fondly touched the snakeskin and said, "Xiao Bing has shed its skin, I’ll give this snakeskin to you. You can forge it into a piece of soft armor to wear, which can resist a lot of damage, so you don’t get hurt all the time."
Xiao Bing is, of course, the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python, shedding skin is a natural phenomenon, but the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python is an excellent breed among snakes. Its skin is both soft and firm, the best material for making soft armor.
Qin Sisi’s eyes lit up as she gratefully accepted the gift, feeling incredibly thankful.
Chen Song’s gift was quite ordinary; it was a bottle of Bodhi Pill that he personally concocted. His intrinsic attribute is Wood Attribute, and he has done some research into alchemy, but due to a long interruption, the level is quite low, only third-level.
He gently said, "I know my gift is very ordinary, but it is the most precious thing I have. If you ever need me, there will absolutely be no hesitation."
Qin Sisi’s eyes stung, as she awkwardly yet excitedly called out "Father, Mother" and presented the gifts she prepared for them.
The gift for Yi Rou was a piece of clothing colored in Yi Rou’s favorite red, vibrant and bright; the fabric is Celestial Silkworm Silk, resistant to cutting and burning, and tough; the clothing was inlaid with exotic gemstones, brilliant and dazzling.
Additionally, Qin Sisi also forged the clothes; it was made with fabric that can resist magic energy waves, not easily damaged, and she sprinkled Pure Sand on it, enhancing its defense, making the whole garment emit starry light spots, like stars in the night sky, dazzling and astonishing.
The gift for Chen Song was a weapon; Qin Sisi specifically inquired, and learned that Chen Song used a longsword before, so she specially forged a sword for him using the hardest metallic material.
The scabbard is carved with patterns of pine trees and snakes, symbolically fitting Chen Song and Yi Rou’s names and identities.
Seeing these two gifts, Yi Rou and Chen Song knew that Qin Sisi was very attentive, secretly sighing that this was the best choice they’ve made.
Perhaps it was because Master Yipiao was there to oversee, the whole process went very smoothly.
After the ceremony, outsiders began to leave one by one. Those with moderate relationships left directly, while those with good relations came over to greet Qin Sisi.
As the guests departed, Miaoyin City became somewhat quieter. The ceremony was indeed lively, but everyone who experienced it was quite tired and could use a good rest.
Days later, the daily routine of Miaoyin City gradually returned to its pre-ceremony state. Yi Rou and Chen Song would stay here for a period and then return to Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
Ye You still had many things to do and couldn’t remain here forever; Qin Sisi decided to return to Taiyi Mountain with him.
Just as they were preparing to set off, urgent news suddenly came from the western region of Miaoyin City: a group of rampaging animals appeared out of nowhere in this area, roughly numbering in the hundreds, including tigers, leopards, foxes, as well as more common dogs, cats, mice, pigs, etc.
No one knows what’s wrong with this group of animals; upon seeing humans, they would immediately charge and attack, not stopping until the human was bitten to death.
Chi Xun was anxious; he wanted to protect his people, but this kind of situation had never happened in Miaoyin City before, and he truly did not know how to handle it.
Just as Chi Xun was preparing to send an army to check the situation, Ye You and Qin Sisi came to see him, expressing their willingness to personally go to the western region of Miaoyin City to get to the bottom of things.
With two Demon Emperors intervening, Chi Xun naturally welcomed it greatly; he excitedly asked, "Thank you, Your Highness and Ms. Qin, how many soldiers do you need?"
Ye You replied, "We are only going to investigate and not to engage in combat, so we don’t need a large contingent, just the two of us is enough."
"How can this be? Your Highness is of noble stature, you must take good care of yourself." Chi Xun said anxiously.
Ye You waved it off and said, "Really, there’s no need. If we take some lower-ranking guards, they might just end up injured by those animals anyway, only wasting Miaoyin City’s combat power."
Chi Xun was startled, his expression growing more grim. Initially, he hadn’t thought much of it, assuming it was a difficult illness to deal with.
But upon further consideration, things might not be so simple.
Though Miaoyin City is large with a dense population, if people continue to be bitten to death unchecked, eventually, no matter how large the population, there will be a day when the deaths become overwhelming.
Chi Xun slowly bowed to Ye You and Qin Sisi, respectfully and sincerely saying, "In that case, I entrust the two of you to swiftly uncover the truth, and restore Miaoyin City to its beauty and peace. The Meilan Family will forever be grateful to Your Highness and Ms. Qin for their kindness."
