Yu Huang and the others were a little embarra.s.sed. Sheng Xiao explained softly, “Senior, the era you lived in was ancient times. Some of the intelligent races that were common in your era were already extinct. The half-blood demon you mentioned is called the Night Elf now.”
“Oh really?” Mo Jing thought of his clansmen and couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Is the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan still around?”
Sheng Xiao said, “Yes.”
Mo Jing heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Mo Jing couldn’t help but ask, “Are the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan and the Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan still around?”
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang fell silent.
Donor said in a low voice, “The Black Qing Sky Dragon Clan was exterminated by the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan ten thousand years ago. In the end, the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan also died out.”
When Mo Jing heard this news, he thought that he would be happy. After all, he didn’t have a good relationship with the two Divine Beast Clans when he was alive. However, after knowing that these two Divine Beast Clans had actually become extinct, not only was Mo Jing not happy, but he also felt pity for them.
Mo Jing sighed and said, “It seems that being able to give birth is the most important thing.”
“…”
In terms of fertility, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was indeed powerful.
Mo Jing told them, “Refining the Reincarnation Mirror has already exhausted my energy. My soul has already reincarnated. This is the last wisp of remnant soul consciousness I left in the world. I can make an exception and open the reincarnation door for you guys to find your friends, but you have to help me complete something.”
Sheng Xiao asked humbly, “Senior, please speak.”
Mo Jing said, “My good friend Kunlun has long entered reincarnation, but back then, I couldn’t find his whereabouts at all. This Reincarnation Mirror contains my longing for him. I hope you can bring this Reincarnation Mirror that was burned with my skeleton with you. If you are lucky enough to meet my good friend, the Reincarnation Mirror will transform into a Time Mirror and let my remnant soul meet him.”
Mo Jing gently stroked the b.u.mps on the bamboo stick and muttered sadly, “I still owe him the sentence, ‘I believe you’.”
“Okay!”
When Sheng Xiao finished speaking, Mo Jing, who was in front of them, lost his flesh and blood in the blink of an eye. He turned into a skeleton. The skeleton turned into ashes and quickly gathered into a small grayish-white mirror. The mirror looked extremely ordinary. It wasn’t even as good as the small mirrors in dollar stores.
However, when they thought about the reincarnation effect of the mirror, Sheng Xiao and the others didn’t dare to underestimate it.
The mirror suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The lens turned into a dazzling reincarnation pa.s.sage. Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s hand tightly and said, “Everyone, follow me closely. Let’s enter the reincarnation pa.s.sage together!”
“Okay!”
The five of them held each other’s hands and jumped into the Reincarnation Path!
The energy in the Reincarnation Path was chaotic. It was comparable to Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion’s Time Valley. Sheng Xiao and the others were pulled by the energy and were almost separated a few times, but they were still holding hands with the people beside them. No energy could separate them.
With a rush of dizziness, they descended into an empty suburb.
Yu Huang raised her head and saw the phantom of the tall building in the distant city.
Seeing that they had arrived in a modern world, Donor couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. He said, “Fortunately, it’s a modern world. I’m afraid of reincarnating as a little beast in ancient times.”
After saying that, everyone let go of each other’s hands and sized each other up. Only then did they realize that they were wearing farmer clothes!
Donor’s fair skin was tanned by the sun. His appearance looked like it had been slightly adjusted. Every part of his body had been adjusted to be more mediocre. His figure was no longer tall and straight. Instead, he had become a short man who was only 1.6 meters tall.
Perhaps it was because he worked hard all year round to carry heavy things, but his shoulders were very broad, and the shoulder blades on his back were a little hunched.
Donor was dressed in a shabby manner.
He was wearing a low-quality gray shirt covered in cement dust and a pair of black suit pants. Because his legs were short, the pants rolled up at his ankles two to three times. On his feet, there was a pair of green cloth shoes that were peeling. He felt that in hot weather, his feet would stink when he took off his shoes.
Yu Huang was shocked by Donor’s outfit.
She turned to look at Sheng Xiao and herself, only to realize that they were dressed no different from Donor. Sheng Xiao was wearing a cheap polo shirt with the word ‘Huuo-Boss’ on it. He was wearing black casual pants. His tan face and body made him look meek.
And she was dressed in an even more shabby manner.
She was wearing a short-sleeved purple floral shirt and a pair of floral sleeves on her arms to protect her from the sun. A towel hung around her neck and she smelled like sweat. She was wearing loose sweatpants and a shabby pair of leather flats.
She didn’t need to look at her face to know that she must also look very ordinary.
Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang’s outfit and tried for a long time to come up with praises. Then, he praised her. “You’re dressed… so casually.”
Yu Huang stared at Sheng Xiao’s meek-looking face and said, “You look very rea.s.suring.”
Feng Yuncheng was as handsome as ever, but he was wearing a pink shirt, green tight pants, and a pair of flat white shoes. He also had makeup on and his nails were painted red.
From the looks of it, he was a cross-dresser.
They looked at each other and realized that Kunlun had disappeared.
Before they found Kunlun, they saw a man in a farmer’s outfit standing in front of a small convenience store diagonally in front of them and shouting at them, “Ma Yao, your lunch boxes are ready!”
Sheng Xiao was stunned. He realized that ‘Ma Yao’ was referring to him.
Yu Huang chuckled and pushed Sheng Xiao’s arm. “Let’s go, Mr. Ma.”
Sheng Xiao walked to the convenience store thoughtfully. The female owner placed a bag of packed lunch on the gla.s.s counter and said, “Four lunch boxes for a total of 10 yuan.” She extended her hand to Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao slowly reached into his pocket and took out a pile of paper money that he had never seen before. Yu Huang glanced at the paper money in Sheng Xiao’s hand and her smile froze. It was yuan!
In the Doomsday Era, yuan was no longer popular. However, Yu Huang’s adoptive parents still had a pile of yuan in their home. In the past, that pile of money guaranteed survival, but in the Doomsday Era, that money was just a pile of paper.
Her adoptive father always used those paper money as toys when playing with Yu Huang.
Therefore, Yu Huang had developed a habit of folding paper money into hearts when she saw them.
Yuan.
So, this was Earth?
Yu Huang raised her head and looked at the electronic clock hanging on the wall of the convenience store. She saw that it said June 4, 2007. She had a rough understanding of this era. In China in 2007, the salary of migrant workers wasn’t high, but the consumption level wasn’t high at this time either.
They found an open-air table and finished the unpalatable lunch box with a frown. Sheng Xiao stood up and said to Yu Huang and the others, “Let’s go and move bricks.”
This time, they were really going to carry bricks.
When they arrived at the construction site, Yu Huang realized that Sheng Xiao was a bricklayer. He earned 250 yuan a day.
She was Sheng Xiao’s a.s.sistant. Her salary was 180 yuan. The short Donor was also a bricklayer. His salary was the same as Sheng Xiao’s.
However, Feng Yuncheng, who was wearing a floral dress, had a special ident.i.ty. He wasn’t a construction worker, but a helper at the construction site. He cleaned up the wood.
Wood cubes were often used at construction sites. There would be many sharp iron nails left on these wooden blocks. Often, these iron nails would pierce through the workers’ soles and cause teta.n.u.s.
Feng Yuncheng was a trash worker at the construction site.
The nails he pulled out every day could be sold for money, but they had to be pulled out cleanly. If they were not pulled out cleanly and the workers stepped on them, he would be liable.
Feng Yuncheng could probably sell iron nails for 150 yuan a day.
Sheng Xiao should have known nothing about architecture, but when he picked up the gray knife and wooden plank, he was immediately possessed by a professional bricklayer. He was very skilled and at ease when he worked. Yu Huang helped him and worked with ease as well. They were building a wall upstairs when they heard someone laughing at Feng Yuncheng downstairs. “Your b.u.t.t is exposed!”
“Flowery dress, why aren’t you wearing gloves today? Aren’t you afraid of ruining your nails?”
Clearly, Feng Yuncheng, who had a cross-dressing fetish, was publicly acknowledged as a lunatic at the construction site.
Yu Huang saw that Feng Yuncheng was about to flare up a few times. She was afraid that Feng Yuncheng would ruin his persona. Fortunately, Feng Yuncheng was sensible. After being teased by everyone, Feng Yuncheng ignored them.
At that moment, the steel worker in the building next door saw Sheng Xiao. He said, “Ma Yao, your apprentice didn’t come with you today?”
Apprentice?
