"No!"
Wu Dameng was extremely shocked, and fear crept into his eyes as he looked at Li Mo.
This young man looked so gentle and refined, yet how could such a fierce phrase come out of his mouth?
Seeing his expression, Li Mo couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Didn't Elder Qian say that this phrase was a way to express friendliness?
"Ahem, that was just a joke earlier."
Li Mo waved his hand and continued: freēwēbnovel.com
"My friend and I came to Blackwater Marsh from outside Southern Border to find relatives. We just want to ask about the situation in the Mingjiao Clan's territory."
"What do you want to ask? We can't talk about anything involving clan secrets."
Wu Dameng became vigilant: "Besides, you are clearly both Human Race. How could the Mingjiao Clan's territory have your relatives? You must have made a mistake."
"No mistake."
Li Mo pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, he activated the Seventy-Two Transformations, and his form abruptly changed within the clouds, transforming into a Ming Jiaolong several zhang long.
Although his body was not as large as Wu Dameng's, his aura was even more ferocious.
"Impossible... impossible..."
Wu Dameng was in disbelief, but the suppression from his Bloodline made him tremble slightly.
"How could there still be a Mingjiao Clan outside Southern Border?!"
"Because I have an excellent shapeshifting technique; you didn't even see my true form just now, did you?"
Xiao Li said with a proud expression.
See that?
I'm saying that the first Qingyuan Sect Best Actor truly lives up to his name...
"So it's... one of our own Ming Jiaolong?"
Wu Dameng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huang Donglai:
"Is he also a Ming Jiaolong?"
Huang Donglai: "..."
He didn't have Brother Li's transformation technique.
Just as he didn't know what to say.
He heard Li Mo, in a flash of inspiration, say:
"This is my mount."
"Huh?"
Huang Donglai's body trembled.
Murong Xiao stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Wu Dameng hesitated:
"Mount? I've only heard of Human Race Prodigies capturing Dragons as mounts. You, this..."
"That's right! If Human Race Prodigies can use Yao Beasts as mounts, why can't Yao Beast Prodigies use Human Race as mounts?!"
"Hiss..."
Wu Dameng leaned back strategically, his pupils shaking, gradually filling with the light of wisdom.
That's right!
Why should they, the Yao Beasts, be mounts for humans?
Recalling the fierce scene of Li Mo riding on Huang Donglai's back and charging towards him, Wu Dameng immediately believed it completely.
Prodigy.
This is absolutely a Prodigy of our Mingjiao Clan!
That's why he has such a fierce spirit!
No wonder he was so strong!
"Then this Human Race... is he also your mount?" Wu Dameng looked at Murong Xiao.
Murong Xiao and Li Mo exchanged glances before he released the white jade relic, no longer controlling his Bloodline.
The next moment, the characteristics of a Dragon appeared on his body.
"So it's a Half-demons?!"
Wu Dameng exclaimed.
Li Mo: "..."
Murong Xiao: "?"
Huang Donglai: "Kukuku..."
"Humans are born of human mothers, Yao are born of yao mothers, and those born of both humans and yao, well, they are Half-demons."
"Half-demons are really powerful; they can use the Yao Race's Bloodline and also practice the Human Race's martial Dao."
Wu Dameng didn't understand why the few of them suddenly stopped talking.
He felt the term "Half-demons" was very fitting.
"Mount brother, don't laugh yet."
Li Mo gestured for Murong Xiao to calm down, then said: "We came here precisely to find relatives for Brother Murong beside me. His parents are in the Mingjiao Clan's territory."
"Murong..."
Wu Dameng's large eyes rolled, as if he remembered something.
He exclaimed:
"You are Third Uncle's child?"
"Third Uncle?"
"That's right, Uncle Murong married Third Ancestor Grandma, so isn't he Uncle? Doesn't that mean..."
The scene became somewhat silent for a moment.
In other words, Wu Dameng would have to call Murong Xiao... cousin-uncle?
This was truly a case of a misunderstanding between close relatives.
Why say that?
Li Mo thought, if Old Master Murong had suggested becoming sworn brothers with him back then, and he had agreed that day.
What would Wu Dameng have to call him?
"Are my parents doing well now?" Murong Xiao asked nervously.
"Uh... the clan has been quite complicated recently."
"Alright, then let's set off."
Li Mo transformed back into human form, but still retained the characteristics of a Ming Jiaolong.
"Before we go, can you... untie me first?"
Wu Dameng's eyes were filled with tears.
Tied up like a ball, would he still be able to be a Ming Jiaolong in the future?
After being untied.
He reverted to his Half-demons form, the kind with a Ming Jiaolong head and a human body, clearly indicating his shapeshifting was not yet at Perfection.
Watching Li Mo transform back into human form, only retaining a few Ming Jiaolong characteristics, he couldn't help but feel envious.
They rode the bronze carriage, heading south.
Li Mo adapted to the Ming Jiaolong characteristics on his body, and then checked the investment feedback from earlier.
【Nine Dragon Power Pill】: "Refined from the purified souls of nine fierce Dragons. Consuming it can permanently increase strength. Those with weak Physical Bodies should use with caution, as the medicinal power is too fierce and may damage the Physical Body."
This was a fierce, potent pill.
Looking at the description, even a martial artist in the Guan Shen Realm, even one focused on Body Refining, would likely find it difficult to digest.
But then again, no one in the Guan Shen Realm has probably cultivated an ultimate Body Refining technique to Perfection.
"I'll find a secluded place to take it later."
Li Mo withdrew his thoughts from the System space.
The burly man opposite, Wu Dameng, spoke at this moment:
"By the way, brother, since we're family, why did you hit me?"
"That's how the Mingjiao Clan outside Southern Border greets each other."
"As expected of our kin who can survive outside the clan territory, truly fierce."
"By the way."
Li Mo asked, looking at the approaching Mingjiao Clan territory:
"You just said the ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ situation within our clan in Southern Border is complicated. How complicated is it?"
"This matter..."
Wu Dameng sighed heavily.
"Our Mingjiao Clan has lived in this Blackwater Marsh for a very long time, but in recent years, our clan's territory has become smaller and smaller."
"The Peng Clan and us are old enemies. For the past few decades, they have constantly encroached upon our territory."
"It's all because they obtained that heavenly divine jade sixty years ago."
heavenly divine jade... freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Li Mo knew that this was probably what the Yao Race called the jade phoenix god.
"Every sixty years, the heavenly divine jade will reappear in Southern Border, and various clans will send their new generation to compete for it."
"The clan has been in a fierce dispute recently over the quotas for competing for the divine jade, as even a glimpse of the divine jade is a great Opportunity."
"These past few years, Third Uncle and Third Ancestor Grandma have been blamed and pressured by other Ming Jiaolong quite a bit."
Wu Dameng said helplessly.
Murong Xiao's breathing immediately became heavier.
Li Mo was puzzled: "What does competing for the divine jade have to do with pressuring Brother Murong's parents?"
"Half-demons are more likely to gain something from the divine jade."
"So what are they being forced to do?"
"To have a second child, naturally they have to do what you told me earlier."
"Huh?"
"Beg for daddy..."
