Chapter 260 Myriad Worlds Traveling Merchants

Li Xiang thought about it for a long time, and his expression gradually became strange.

Just as he was about to put away the Mirage Beast Egg, he saw Phoenix Qing Ying suddenly lower its head. Its small mouth opened, and the Mirage Beast Egg directly shrank and flew into its mouth.

“F*ck!”

Li Xiang felt that his shock was a little insufficient. What was this situation? Could it be that this fellow had eaten his Mirage Beast Egg?

However, he could still clearly feel the existence of the Mirage Beast Egg. In fact, its growth speed was much faster than before.

Li Xiang had already planned for the nurturing of the Mirage Beast Egg. However, that so-called plan was utterly useless now.

He wanted to dig out the Mirage Beast Egg from Little Phoenix’s mouth to see what was happening. However, when he saw the uncompromising look in Little Phoenix’s black and clear eyes, he could only smile bitterly and say, “Alright, the two of you are close. I’m the only outsider. Alright?”

Little Phoenix Qing Ying then let out a clear cry and flew onto Li Xiang’s shoulder. Once again, it turned into the size of a child’s fist and hung there like a red pearl.

Li Xiang speechlessly stretched out his hand and tapped on it to express his dissatisfaction before letting the matter go.

Little Qing Ying was clearly very interested in hatching that Mirage Beast Egg. She even treated the Mirage Beast Egg as if it was her egg hatching. There was no need for him at all.

Thinking about it, the Phoenix’s ability to hatch an egg was definitely much more professional than an amateur like him. Therefore, he did not hesitate and let it be.

“Country Lord!”

In the bedroom, Alice’s figure flashed and appeared.

Li Xiang frowned. Although Alice always appeared and disappeared mysteriously, she rarely barged into his private space. Usually, she would only come and go in the meeting hall. This was the first time she barged into his room in this way.

“What made you so impatient?”

Alice quickly lowered her head and said, “Country Lord, a strange caravan has appeared outside the southern border. They want to enter our country’s border, and they want us to let them in!”

“Oh? You didn’t ask about their origins?”

Li Xiang’s eyes narrowed. This was the real Myriad World Continent. Previously, he had observed it from high up in the sky with his soul. Although he didn’t know how big the Myriad World Continent was, there weren’t any powerful factions within a million miles based on what he saw. They were all shrouded in darkness, and God knew how many demons and monsters were hidden within.

A caravan that could travel a million miles was definitely not simple.

“They said that they are Myriad Worlds Traveling Merchants, an organization that has existed in the Myriad World Continent for a very long time. Their main focus is business, and they don’t participate in any disputes. They won’t give the Kingdom of Dawn any danger. Of course, if the Kingdom of Dawn was unwilling, they wouldn’t force it and would immediately leave.”

“Have you asked them how they passed through such a dangerous wilderness?”

“Not yet. Because it happened so suddenly, I think it’s best to report it to the Country Lord first.”

“Alright, I got it. Let’s go and take a look!”

Li Xiang brought Alice to the teleportation array. Yafei, Alicia, Mia, and Kyla who had been guarding nearby followed along.

Li Xiang looked curiously at Yafei and Alicia, whose expressions were as calm as usual. He did not know how the food crisis between the two of them was resolved, but now was obviously not the time to ask about that, so he did not say anything.

“Swoosh!”

Light and shadow flashed, and a group of people appeared at the teleportation array of the node city closest to the border barrier.

The castle here had just been put down, and no Lord had come over to oversee it. However, all the necessary functions had been completed, and the most important teleportation array was naturally not lacking.

A dozen miles outside the city was the border barrier.

The entire world was dark. Because of the barrier, Li Xiang’s territory was slightly brighter than the outside world.

A Human man wearing a long yellow robe was waiting quietly outside the barrier. Behind him was a giant bird.

That giant bird was much bigger than the largest creature they had ever seen, the Demon Turtle of Destruction. Although there was no city on its back, there was a manor that was neither too big nor small. Many people were walking around inside.

Finally, Li Xiang looked at the man in the yellow robe and said, “I am the Country Lord of the Kingdom of Dawn. Why are you here?”

The yellow-robed man laughed and cupped his hands. “I am Hou Chun. Greetings, Lord of Dawn!”

Li Xiang’s eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile. “You are welcome. Whoever comes is my guest. Brother Hou, which world are you from?”

Hou Chun smiled mysteriously, “I am not fit to be called Brother Hou by the Lord of Dawn. If you are willing, you can call me Manager Hou. As members of Myriad Worlds Traveling Merchants, we are responsible for our profits and losses. Naturally, we need the support of our customers.”

Li Xiang did not immediately nod in agreement. He asked again, “The wilderness is so dangerous. How did you manage to travel safely? Is it because of the giant beast behind you?”

Hou Chun did not conceal and said, “That’s right. Although I have some cultivation and strength, I would be courting death if I were to travel through the wilderness alone. The giant beast behind me is called the Heavenly Wind Pterosaur. It can travel through heaven and earth and resist the threat of most monsters and demons. It is a unique beast nurtured by the Myriad Worlds Traveling Merchants.”

Li Xiang nodded. He was still clueless about the current situation in the Myriad World Continent. He had almost no understanding of the various major factions.

Now that he had coincidentally encountered them, he might be able to obtain relevant information.

Since the other party was a merchant, information transaction should be within the scope of transactions.

Li Xiang nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, please come in!”

He directly activated his authority and gave that person and the Heavenly Wind Pterosaur behind him the authority to pass through the barrier.

Of course, the most important thing was that even if that Heavenly Wind Pterosaur was a divine grade creature, he had the confidence to suppress it if it harbored evil intentions.

After the authority was given, Hou Chun and his Heavenly Wind Pterosaur immediately stepped into the Kingdom of Dawn’s territory and passed through the barrier.

After entering, a look of amazement flashed across Hou Chun’s eyes. He even took a few deep breaths, and his face was filled with satisfaction.

Li Xiang’s eyes were filled with astonishment as he asked, “Manager Hou, looking like this…”

Hou Chun laughed and said, “I’m afraid that Country Lord Li has never been outside, right? The outside world is filled with a demonic and chaotic aura, making one feel nauseous. If Country Lord Li had the intention, it would be best for you to be able to isolate yourself from the outside world’s aura before the barrier disappeared. Otherwise, after the two auras interacted, all kinds of evil spirits would fill this place. At that time, no matter how strong you were, you wouldn’t be able to wipe out countless evil spirits.”

“I see! But, a barrier that can shield one’s aura, how can one obtain such a treasure? Could it be that Manager Hou has such a treasure?”

Hou Chun chuckled and said, “It’s business. What business is there if I don’t have things that customers need? If Country Lord Li is interested, you can come to my small manor to take a look.”
