Second Elder Huang’s true form is a massive weasel, so his smile seemed perfectly natural.
He placed his hand gently on Fat Auntie’s forehead, seemingly to soothe her, at first Fat Auntie was puzzled about what the old man was doing, but after a while, her expression turned to horror, and she began struggling violently.
Seventh Master Huang stood by, knocking out his son. His expression showed some reluctance, but he did not stop the process.
Fat Auntie’s eyes started to look vacant, then tears began to flow down her cheeks.
Second Elder Huang had destroyed part of her mind and memory, henceforth she would only retain basic self-care abilities, and communicating with others would be quite difficult.
"Xi Liu... don’t blame me for being heartless. It’s not easy for our village to survive; we really can’t afford your antics, and anyhow, as long as Lao Qi just needs a wife, then this will suffice."
Then Second Elder Huang put one hand behind his back and shakily left Seventh Master Huang’s house, stumbling at the doorstep.
After putting some distance between them, Second Elder Huang sighed towards the sky.
He knew that the Demon Hunters wouldn’t cause further trouble after venting their anger on Fat Auntie,
but he still made the cruel decision to erase part of her mind.
This world ultimately belongs to humans. Those like them, the outcasts, must stay humble to live steadily. Otherwise, the massacre from over a decade ago could be the fate of Wuxian Village.
Without Fat Auntie’s interference, Wen Wen and the others enjoyed their time at Wuxian Village. On the night before they were to leave, Wen Wen arrived at the doorstep of Great Elder Hu’s house.
At first glance, he felt old handsome man looked somewhat familiar, so he thought he might as well check it out before leaving.
Great Elder Hu invited Wen Wen inside. Earlier, when he invited Wen Wen and others for a meal, Great Elder Hu got to know their identities, realizing Wen Wen might be the strongest among them, hence his attitude was quite humble.
After Wen Wen entered the house, they chatted casually for a few moments, then he steered the conversation towards Great Elder Hu’s family.
Great Elder Hu had no guard about this, and chatted like it was a family matter, sharing all his circumstances.
Twelve years ago, he had a perfect family, and an adorable daughter.
But after he helped Xun Ying eliminate the Home-keeping Immortal forces in White Horse Mountain Province, his family fell apart, his wife dying in that great catastrophe, and his daughter ran away from home, her whereabouts unknown.
Wen Wen quickly scanned the room, finally locking his gaze on a family photo, which depicted a man and a woman, both exceptionally handsome, and a lovely, delicate little girl.
The man should be Great Elder Hu, the woman looked somewhat similar to Hu Youling, and as for the little girl... she should be Hu Youling!
Wen Wen captured Hu Youling in Furong River City. It seems that when Hu Youling ran away from home twelve years ago, she ended up coming alone to the vicinity of Furong River City, causing chaos along the way, until she became Wen Wen’s captive.
"Mr. Gui Tan, do you happen to know my daughter’s whereabouts?"
Great Elder Hu instinctively sat up straight, not being foolish. Wen Wen had been dropping hints all along the way, and now fixating on the photo; apart from Hu Youling being the cause, he couldn’t think of other possibilities.
"If you can tell me about her, I will definitely..."
Wen Wen raised his hand, not letting him finish.
"I know where she is, but she cannot come to see you, but you will have a chance to see her soon, and it won’t be long."
"Before that, perhaps we can discuss some matters of collaboration..."
As Wen Wen left, Great Elder Hu escorted him a long way.
Previously, Wen Wen, representing the Foundation, discussed some deals with Wuxian Village, in which Great Elder Hu conceded a lot because besides Wuxian Village, Hu Youling was his greatest concern.
Now, Wen Wen gave him hope of seeing his daughter again, so unless Wen Wen was deceiving him, he could do a lot for this reason.
Feeling Great Elder Hu’s presence dissipate, Wen Wen scratched his head. Actually, he could allow Hu Youling to meet her father now, but explaining the situation was a dilemma.
Should he tell the truth?
Your daughter was causing trouble for innocent young men, and I captured her? Plus, she was an exhibition pet for a while?
So it might be better to wait for some time before letting the father and daughter reunite. During the creation of the clone, the ritual will absorb Hu Youling’s greatest desires; then she should become a bit more normal.
The next morning, the group embarked on their journey again, heading to the Polar Bear District, Mia Animal Kingdom.
The Animal Kingdom is composed of a zoo and a nature reserve; the zoo is open to travelers worldwide, containing all kinds of exotic animals, making it the largest zoo in the Polar Bear District.
The zoo’s director, Osno, is a legendary man, ruling over the zoo’s lions, tigers, rhinos, and elephants, keeping them obedient with just a pair of slippers.
People are amazed by his closeness with animals, believing him to be their true friend because the tigers can show him their bellies, and the lions can forgo food for him.
But in reality, those ferocious beasts are just afraid.
This director Osno is himself a powerful superpower user; this Animal Kingdom isn’t his; he merely helps others to guard it.
The zoo is merely a front; the real core of the Animal Kingdom is the Mia Nature Reserve, which is a private garden for a big shot, home to various superpowered animals.
And that big shot is the Judicator and Catastrophe Level Powerhouse of the Polar Bear District—Vissarion Lachovich White Bear Weitu, whom the superpower users of the Polar Bear District prefer to call Emperor Weitu!
Because if not for the Federation’s establishment, this land would be part of the Polar Bear Empire, and Vissarion is the rightful heir of this empire.
Weitu has three main hobbies: drinking vodka, firing the Poposa, and riding various ferocious beasts.
Vodka and Poposa are easy to get; the fierce beasts that meet Weitu’s requirements are not. So he set up a nature reserve specifically, hiring people to find various wild beasts.
And Wen Wen’s first target on this trip is in this zoo.
Thanks to the Wanderer’s abilities, the tour’s bus quickly arrived at the gates of Mia Animal Kingdom, aided this time by Wen Wen’s advance positioning using the Magic Mirror and Wanderer’s abilities—no one dared let Sifumo lead again.
The tour bus was warmly welcomed at the gates, and director Osno drove a tour bus to deliver them to the place where they would play and stay for the next few days.
On the tour bus, there is a monitor playing Emperor Weitu’s video.
Weitu is adorned with a heavy pure gold crown, a massive gold chain weighing seventy to eighty pounds around his neck, wearing a white feather coat, and a chest full of dense chest hair.
