Chapter 174 Mountain Beast
The commotion echoed throughout the mountains and forests.
People from all directions suddenly gathered together.
"It's an alien race!"
"They really are aliens!"
Their expressions were horrified, but more so wary; some of the bolder ones even leaned close to Mu Yunyun and sniffed her.
“This is my mother, not some foreigner. Don’t talk nonsense.”
The little guy stood protectively in front of Mu Yunyun, looking like he was about to fight.
"Alright, what's all the noise about?"
Suddenly, a hoarse, aged voice came from behind.
Everyone made way for them.
"Master Mountain Doctor."
"Master Mountain Doctor."
"Master Mountain Doctor."
The old doctor didn't look at them, but instead looked Mu Yunyun up and down, his ashen pupils showing a hint of shock.
"I didn't expect you to be alive."
Only he knew how serious Mu Yunyun's injuries were.
That last breath hanging in your chest, once it dissipates, you're gone.
He had no idea he would survive, and he didn't even look seriously injured.
“Grandpa, my mother is not a foreigner, please tell them quickly.”
The little guy grabbed the doctor's hand, looking a bit anxious.
Shan Yi and Shao Yi exchanged a glance, having already made their decision.
He lovingly coaxed the cub: "They're just teasing you. Your mother isn't a foreigner."
"Father, is it true?"
Shao Yan was still worried, so he asked another question.
"Of course it's true. Your mother lives at the foot of the mountain all year round and has never been inside. Her aura is different from before, which is why people misunderstand."
It turned out to be the case.
The little guy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took Mu Yunyun's hand for comfort.
He was terrified.
When he was little, his grandfather told him that the foreigners lived outside the mountains and loved to bully them. If they disobeyed and ran away, they would be captured and eaten.
His mother is not a foreigner.
Even his mother wouldn't eat him.
Shao Yi rubbed the little guy's head, then looked at everyone and said, "This is my partner. She doesn't often come up the mountain. She just recovered from a serious illness today, so I brought her up for a walk." This was also a way of explaining to everyone.
The guarded expressions of everyone relaxed slightly when they heard him speak.
"So it's an adult's partner."
"No wonder you smell like an adult."
People echoed each other, while others whispered among themselves.
"Is it the one from two years ago? Wasn't he dead?"
"Keep your voice down, are you out of your mind?"
Hearing their words, Mu Yunyun was a little confused.
Are the races of Wanxuan Mountain also so xenophobic?
She originally thought that only Yuanzhou was like this, but she didn't expect that the same was true for foreign races throughout the Nine Provinces and Four Seas.
However, looking into their eyes, she felt that something was off.
It's hard to describe the feeling; it's like a mix of fear and apprehension.
Shao Yi took in everyone's expressions and said, "Don't just stand there, aren't we going to gather herbs?"
Correct.
Gathering medicinal herbs.
The little guy had completely forgotten what had just happened.
"Brother Xiaoshan, what kind of mountain beast are we fighting this time?"
Xiao Shan, the dark-skinned boy, glanced at Mu Yunyun, then nervously lowered his head again.
He wanted to say, "If adults go up the mountain, how could there possibly be any mountain beasts?"
The old doctor almost said, "We'll gather the herbs today; the mountain beasts won't come out at this time."
"How could that be?" the little guy exclaimed anxiously, still wanting to show off. "When will the mountain beast come out?"
"I guess the rainy season is over, what's the rush, you little brat?"
How could I not be anxious?
He has learned a lot of skills and is waiting for his mother to praise him.
Who would be willing to dig up these herbs?
He came to the mountain to hunt wild animals.
