Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 849: This is called a surprise?
After paying homage to his master, master and fellow disciples, Yan Bo brought Yuan Zhaoning back along the original route.

For Yan Bo, this was his return home after many years, but in this hometown of Dayan, all his family members and friends had passed away, and there was no need to disturb them even if there were some descendants left.

Just like when Yan Bo left Dayong, he went to the market just to see the little boy of the He family, who was now old and enjoying family happiness.

So planting flowers may be more important to Yan Bo than practicing hard, or this can also be considered as his practice.

For Yuan Zhaoning, an old man in his eighties, this is a new life at the end of his life. In Yan Bo's words, it is not too late, even though Yuan Zhaoning may not really understand the meaning of "not too late".

Yan Bo did not use any magic to clean up the house. Instead, he and the old man Yuan Zhaoning cleaned up the stilt house bit by bit, so that he could also feel the feeling of when his master and his fellow apprentice's family built the stilt house together.

This process is also a process of cleansing Yuan Zhaoning's soul, making him aware of his new life.

The group of white cranes roamed in the nearby wetlands and refused to leave, as if they regarded this place as an important stop for migration and would stay here until the cold weather came before leaving.

It is also possible that the white cranes will not leave. After all, there is Yuan Zhaoning, an old eunuch with rich experience in raising cranes, and the climate in Leshan is also good, so it is not impossible for them to overwinter here in the future.

Yan Bo and Yuan Zhaoning planted many of the flower seeds on Yuan Zhaoning's body, but the only one that troubled Yan Bo was the lotus.

Yan Bo used mature lotus seeds to grow lotus flowers, but after he planted them a few times, nearby white cranes would come over to look for food, and they would always be able to dig out and eat the lotus seeds he had planted.

The two men tried to persuade the white cranes kindly. These psychic white cranes were indeed extraordinary and they indeed stopped pecking at the lotus seeds in front of them. However, at night or in the early morning, there would always be one or two white cranes that could not resist the taste of the lotus seeds.

Finally, the leading white-feathered crane walked around the "lotus field" area a few times and chirped for a while. After that, no other white crane approached there casually. Even if they walked to the edge, they only pecked at grass roots and loaches.

A month passed like this.

Strangely enough, under Yan Bo's care, some plants and flowers that originally took a relatively long time to grow are growing very well.

Yuan Zhaoning was not in charge of flower growing in the palace before, but he had always lived in the Yi Garden area and knew that it took a long time for many flowers to grow. What was happening around him now was enough to be described as magical, with sprouting and branching much faster than that of ordinary vegetation.

However, the person who planted the flowers was not an ordinary person, so Yuan Zhaoning felt relieved.

Bai Yuhe saw everything and naturally knew that Yan Bo did not actually cast any spell. Instead, his practice naturally affected the people around him.

Yan Bo used the fairy lotus as his foundation. When he was refining the elixir in the Qiankun furnace, the Qiankun gourd, which was a part of the furnace, also experienced his rebirth. Only after the elixir catastrophe did his current body come into being.

Coupled with the special relationship between his previous incarnation's spirit and the purple-walled spiritual lotus, to some extent, Yan Bo is even more in line with the green spiritual wood energy than some of the spirits of flowers, plants, and trees.

For Bai He, who has reached his current level of practice, what he has seen in this month is a rare feeling of observing the Tao.

For a month, Yan Bo and Yuan Zhaoning lived quite comfortably here, the cranes were also very happy, and even Hui Mian had enough food to eat.

However, some people in Heleshan became a little annoyed.

The Toad King sat on the mountain, exposed to the wind and sun, and waited for a month, but still nothing happened. One day, he finally could not help but open his eyes, looked around again, and could not help muttering to himself.

"Hey? What's going on? Why hasn't Bai He come yet? Is he doing this on purpose?"

The Great Toad King didn't believe that Bai He would not be aware of his presence, so was this guy doing it on purpose?

Given the relationship between him and me, he wouldn't do that, right? Or does he have something wrong?
The Big Toad King showed a thoughtful look. This is possible. Bai He's whereabouts are even more erratic than mine. Sometimes he is actually quite busy. Maybe he is helping the Immortal Master do something again?
Just as he was thinking this, the clouds in the sky grew thicker and a large amount of water vapor gathered, causing the Toad King to raise his head.

At the stilt house, the white cranes in the swamp raised their heads, and Yan Bo, who was originally resting in the house, also walked out of the house and looked up at the sky.

"Mr. Yan, it looks like it's going to rain?"

Yuan Zhaoning said this, and Yan Bo also smiled.

"Yes, the climate in Heleshan is pleasant, and another rain will be more suitable for the growth of flowers."

But at this moment Yan Bo realized in his heart that this and Leshan were not as simple as he thought. Perhaps he should visit the existence in the mountain. After all, they are neighbors.

The rain started to fall quickly. Yan Bo and Yuan Zhaoning made tea in the house and opened the window to enjoy the scenery outside in the rain.

"Rumble--"

The thunder was so sudden that Yuan Zhaoning's hand, which was holding the teacup, shook, and Yan Bo frowned slightly.

In the wetlands outside, the white cranes were not afraid of rain at all, but they were slightly frightened by the thunder. The leading white-feathered crane also glanced sideways towards the depths of the mountains.

At the deepest part of Hele Mountain, at the place on the top of the mountain where people practiced their skills, the Great Toad King stared with an expression of disbelief on his face. In front of him stood two people, one was the North Sea Dragon King Yaci, and the other was his daughter Chanqin.

"I, did I hear you right? You, you two?"

Chan Qin, who had always been quite strong-willed, showed a rare shy look at this moment and nodded slightly to the Toad King.

"Yes, Dad."

The Great Toad King opened his eyes wide, watching Yaci naturally holding Chanqin's hand. He was extremely shocked and felt extremely complicated.

"Doesn't my father-in-law agree?"

Yaci looked serious, but he was actually a little nervous. The dragon energy in his body couldn't help but emanate from him, giving the Toad King a strong sense of oppression. It was only when he felt Chan Qin pinching him hard on his hand that he reacted and quickly held his breath.

The Big Toad King grinned. He called him "Father-in-law" directly. Did he come to ask for his opinion?
"It's not that I disagree, but Qin'er, weren't you just a friend of Yaci before? It's only been a short time."

"Dad, the past is the past. A lot of things happened."

Hearing that the Great Toad King had no intention of objecting, Yaci felt relieved.

"Father-in-law, although we haven't been apart for a long time, as Qin'er said, a lot of things happened. Fortunately, you didn't go with us."

The Great Toad King frowned.

"Did the Four Seas Dragon Clan and Bai Jun fall out? Did the Dragon Clan gather together and have a conflict? Doesn't that mean you and Mr. Yi are also in conflict? No, you two must be helping Mr. Yi, right?"

This was the most serious thing that the Great Toad King thought of at that moment. Doesn't that mean that not only would the Four Seas Dragon Clan break up with Bai Jun, but the Four Seas Dragon Clan itself would also split?
However, Yaci and Chanqin quickly dispelled the Great Toad King's speculation. "No, Father-in-law has misunderstood, but it is indeed related to Mr. Yi, and it is caused by this pill disaster."

The news of that horrific pill calamity has not spread yet, but many people will definitely know about it in the future. The Great Toad King is just like everyone else who has just heard about it. He was shocked after learning about it!

However, after listening to the complete narration of the son-in-law and daughter, the Great Toad King looked a little strange again.

"So the two of you actually showed deep affection for each other during the robbery, and it was natural for you to get together."

As he spoke, the Toad King also smiled.

"That's fine, that's fine. I'll feel relieved if Qin'er marries you."

As he spoke, the Great Toad King suddenly approached Yaci and pulled him over. Chanqin was nervous for a moment but was glared at by the Great Toad King and immediately stopped following him.

Yaci did not resist at all and accompanied the Great Toad King to another cliff on the top of the mountain. The latter spoke in a low voice.

"Lord Yalong, I can agree to marry Qin'er, but the dragon race has always liked to have many children and many wives. You have known Qin'er for quite some time, and with Qin'er's temper, I am afraid..."

Even though he was facing a real dragon, the words of the Great Toad King at this moment were not as kind as before, and there was clearly a hint of warning in his voice.

However, the Great Toad King apparently did not realize that his daughter and son-in-law had already "once again" become a fait accompli before coming here after they left the Danjie Demon Realm. Otherwise, why did they arrive here more than a month later after leaving the Mountain and River Realm?
Yaci has never been a timid person. He was made nervous twice, but he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words of the Great Toad King. He turned around to look at Chan Qin who was also a little nervous, and a smile appeared on his face.

Yaci did not reply via telepathy, but spoke directly in a normal voice.

"Please rest assured, father-in-law. As the Dragon King of the North Sea, Yaci's words are as good as gold. I will only be loyal to Qin'er in this life!"

Upon hearing this, Chanqin opened his mouth, calmed down a bit and smiled deliberately.

"Dad, you like Madam Lingli and admire Fairy Mili, and you still talk about others."

"Alas, Dad is different! Besides, if one of Madam Lingli and Fairy Mili favors Dad, Dad will be devoted to her and never be distracted!"

Chanqin couldn't help but laugh when hearing this, while Yaci also smiled and shook his head.

"Come on, come on, since you are here, I will take you to meet Dad's friends!"

After saying this, the Great Toad King immediately flew away on the wind. It was such a glorious moment in his life, and Bai He happened to be there too, so he had to show off.

Yaci and Chanqin didn't understand why, but they also followed by riding a wisp of cloud.

In the rain of Hele Mountain, in the small building where Yan Bo lived, the clouds in the sky broke through the rain, blowing across the flowers, plants and trees in this mountain area.

As if sensing something, the leader crane of the flock, which was originally standing on one leg in the wetland, suddenly shook its wings as if waking up from a nap, and walked to the other side in the dim sunset.

After a while, a mountain breeze blew here, and the Big Toad King and his two companions fell to the edge of the wetland below one after another.

"Oh, there are people living here!"

The Great Toad King glanced at the stilt house with firelight coming through the doors and windows, then turned his gaze to the group of cranes on the wetland, but after looking left and right, his brows furrowed.

"Bai He? Brother He, are you there?"

Yaci and Chanqin behind them looked at each other. Facing the former's doubt, Chanqin hurriedly explained in a low voice.

"Dad has a good friend who is known only through fighting. He is said to be Bai He Xiucheng. Dad, is he here?"

“He should be here.”

The Great Toad King walked on the breeze through the flock of cranes and looked around. Then he closed his eyes slightly and looked in one direction. After searching for a while, he still couldn't find it.

So, beside a reed marsh, the Toad King turned around and asked Yaci.

"Good son-in-law, you didn't feel it either?"

Seeing Yaci shook his head, the Toad King fell into the wetland somewhat dejectedly. Not minding the dirt, he just sat down in the shallow water with a "splash".

"No way, he's gone?"

But at this moment, the three of them felt something in their hearts at the same time, and they looked sideways into the distance one after another, as if someone was coming.

"Interesting, we didn't find the white crane, but an uninvited guest came. It's your bad luck. I'm righteous."

Just as the Big Toad King stood up, a crane's beak suddenly appeared from the reeds beside him, grabbed his clothes and dragged him inside. Yaci and Chanqin were both startled and immediately stepped forward, but the Big Toad King had already waved his hands.

"Don't be alarmed!"

The big toad king who was dragged into the reeds showed surprise, stood up and looked at the white crane beside him.

"You are really here! Your method of concealing your breath is really good! Look at this, this is my daughter Chanqin, and this is my son-in-law Yaci!"

Yaci on the side looked surprised. He didn't even notice Bai He was here.

The white crane stopped pretending and nodded its slender head at Yaci and Chanqin.

"So it's the North Sea Dragon King and the Queen, but please keep quiet for a while."

The Big Toad King frowned and opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a while. The White Crane's reaction was so calm, completely different from what he had imagined!

"Shouldn't you be surprised?"

"I'm already shocked!"

As Bai He said this, the Toad King stared at He's face, showing no sign of surprise at all.
