Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2001 Vykean Winged Fox

"T-tomorrow?" Guang San was surprised. "I wanted to get things ready just in case… but it really is tomorrow." He didn't expect that.

"It was a bit surprising for me too." Lin Mu understood the man's reaction.

Even if they were doing their best in getting things prepared, knowing the actual time was still astonishing. Similar to Lin Mu, Guang San had also expected that there would be many formalities one would have to go through before arriving in the Rust Sky World.

His wife, Princess Feng Lan had the opportunity of meeting a Celestial in the past because of her father, the Emperor and as such told him about how things could go. With her guidance, Guang San felt a bit better and knew that it was not a simple process.

But it was a big shock hearing that the Ever Spring Mistress would be arriving in just a day's time.

'If she can arrive this early… She must be getting a lot of privileges.' The Clan Head thought to himself.

The image of the Ever Spring Mistress rose even more in his heart. He now understood that even among the Celestials, the Ever Spring Mistress might be rather huge to be able to do something like this.

At the same time, it made him even more happy that his daughter would become the disciple of such an impressive celestial.

"You all heard it! USE ALL YOUR CULTIVATION BASE AND SPEED THINGS UP!" Clan Head Guang San shouted, spurring the entire hall into action.

Within seconds, the entire hall became empty again as everyone rushed to finish their tasks. It left Lin Mu alone with Feng Lan and Guang San. "How's Meihua?" Lin Mu asked next.

"She's still sleeping." Feng Lan replied.

"Mmm, triggering her bloodline probably tired her out quite a lot." Lin Mu said. "Let her rest. She should be fine by tomorrow." "Yeah, there doesn't seem to be anything else wrong with her. Just exhaustion." Princess Feng Lan nodded her head. "And what about you Daoist Mu Lin? Is the courtyard to your liking?" She asked.

"Of course." Lin Mu nodded his head. "There are no issues." "I'm glad to hear that." Clan Head Gang San said with a smile. "Please don't hesitate to ask us anything else that you might need."

"Speaking of that… I'd like to take a look at the barrier where the Branch Horn Wolves sneaked in from." Lin Mu stated.

"Our formation masters are still there working on it, but you can go there too." Clan Head Guang San replied. "Come, I'll show you." Princess Feng Lan took the initiative.

"Sure," Lin Mu said and went along with her.

~Chirp~

Along the way Lin Mu and the Princess heard a chirp before a bird appearing along with a fluffy winged fox.

"Ashy," Lin Mu looked at his newest pet. "Where did you guys go?" He asked.

The bird had gone along with Fluff-fluff after Meihua had been left to rest. Lin Mu had let her be, as he knew they'd be safe inside the clan. "Fluff-fluff showed me all the places here as well as the garden with all the good grubs!" Ashy said in a happy tone.

"Looks like you had fun," Lin Mu replied.

"Yep, yep!" The bird replied.

The Princess watched as Lin Mu and the bird conversed freely. He spoke in human tongue, while the bird replied in chirps. To the woman, it was simply not understandable.

"From what I heard, you had a feline tamed beast, right Daoist Mu Lin?" The Princess asked. "Is this a new one?" She asked.

While she had seen the beasts fight in the forest, she didn't get a good look, as she was busy in killing all the Branch Horn beasts.

"Indeed. I have a few Tamed Beasts and she is the newest one." Lin Mu replied. "Speaking of that, though… What is that fox? It is attached to Meihua, but is clearly not a tamed beast. I do not sense an imprint on it." He asked, feeling curious.

"Ah, Fluff-fluff appeared outside the clan one day three years ago. Meihua saw it when she was with me and pestered to take it in. I was of course reluctant, but the fox seemed to be strangely entranced with her. It readily listened to her commands and stayed by her side.

It was the most peculiar behavior I've seen from a beast like it. Of course, we were worried and monitored it, but after a few months, we were sure the beast had no bad intentions. And since it was an immortal beast, we let it stay with Meihua as extra protection." Princess Feng Lan replied.

"Does that mean you don't know what beast it is?" Lin Mu questioned next.

"We do actually… though we don't know for sure. We asked some beast tamers and got the answer that it is a Vykean Winged Fox. From what they told us, this is not a beast native to the Rust Sky world at all, and is found in a faraway world in the Southern part of the Immortal world." She answered.

"That's a Vykean Winged Fox?" Lin Mu was quite surprised. "You know of them?" The Princess asked.

"I do… But I didn't know they looked like this." Lin Mu said honestly. "The descriptions I've read are… much more unflattering." "How so?" Feng Lan questioned.

"Are you sure the information came from a credible source?" Lin Mu asked instead.

"Yes. I got it from the Imperial intelligence department." The Princess replied. "Hmm… I don't know what the issue is, but from what I've read, Vykean Winged Foxes unlike this… They are ferocious beasts and are said to be able to have the ability to predict the future. They are also much, much bigger than fluff-fluff." Lin Mu explained what he knew.

"This…" The princess furrowed her brows. "Though my source of information is a bit old… and it is always possible that Fluff-fluff is a variant of some kind too. So there shouldn't be much of a problem." Lin Mu clarified.
