Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 16: Jorōgumo


Most creatures of the elf kind are not very aggressive.

Su Ziyu has the Blessing of the Guardian Witch, so as long as he doesn't actively attack these types of elves, they are inherently very friendly towards him.

Although the Blessing of the Guardian Witch doesn't directly enhance combat power, it has already helped Su Ziyu several times. If it weren't for this blessing, the wooden spirit before him probably wouldn't have appeared, and even with Su Ziyu's perception, he might not have found her in this vast forest. It seems that any creatures inclined towards nature are very friendly to him.

"I am not lost," Su Ziyu softly said, looking at the slightly timid wooden spirit before him.

She seemed to have had very few interactions with people, and her expression was a bit tense at the moment.

"I'm looking for the Jorogumo," Su Ziyu thought for a moment and asked directly, "Do you know where she is?"

Hearing Su Ziyu's words, the wooden spirit in front of him couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock, exclaiming, "Ah!? Are you looking for the Jorogumo?"

As if remembering something, the wooden spirit's expression showed a hint of fear, and she whispered, "She is a very terrifying demon! Many people have been killed by her!"

"You'd better leave,"

The wooden spirit looked at Su Ziyu with a worried expression and kindly advised, "Others tried to eliminate her before, but they were all eaten by her in the end."

Seeing the other party's worried appearance, Su Ziyu smiled and said, "Don't worry."

"I am a very powerful Yin Yang Master."

"I came this time specifically to eliminate this harmful demon."

No choice.

In Fusang, he can only pretend to be a Yin Yang Master. To prove himself, Su Ziyu even showed the Hundred Tales in his hand.

The wooden spirit's expression showed a hint of doubt. Although she seldom interacted with people, she was not foolish at all. However, seeing Su Ziyu's confident look, she hesitated a little and whispered, "I know where she is. Follow me."

With that, she turned and entered the forest.

It's settled.

Su Ziyu quickly followed. After walking for a while in this dense forest, as the sky gradually darkened, some other creatures appeared nearby. Perhaps due to the wooden spirit's presence, Su Ziyu hadn't seen a single demon here before, but now quite a few suddenly emerged.

"Sister Mu!" A tiny figure with colorful wings flew over. She had a pair of small antennae on her forehead, and her body hadn't fully transformed, seemingly a butterfly spirit.

Behind her followed a light yellow little squirrel, standing on the branch like a human, looking at Su Ziyu.

"Xiao Die, you sneaked out to play again." The wooden spirit in the front spread her fair palm, letting the little butterfly spirit land on it, and gently brushed her cheek with a finger, saying, "Hurry back. No more running around today."

The little one before him looked much like some elves from the Dream Forest. She curiously examined Su Ziyu and then nodded in agreement, "Alright. I'll go back now."

"Little Squirrel! Let's go."

The wooden spirit roughly acted as the Mountain God of this area.

Never underestimate Fusang's Mountain Gods. Although they weren't officially sanctioned by the Court, Fusang is so small with so many mountain spirits and ghosts that anyone who becomes a Mountain Spirit is not a weakling.

The wooden spirit's situation is somewhat special. Her true form is a tree; what stands before Su Ziyu is just an incarnation.

In terms of strength, she might not be inferior to the weasel demon encountered earlier.

After escorting that little butterfly spirit away, the wooden spirit smiled a little shyly and whispered, "There are some weaker demons in this mountain forest, and I usually take care of them. They will not harm people."

"Hmm." Su Ziyu smiled and nodded.

To him, as long as they are not pollution bodies, whether human or demon, as long as they do not trouble him, Su Ziyu can be polite and even befriend them.

He is not one of those cultivators who shout and kill at the sight of a demon.

Having experienced so many worlds, Su Ziyu understands that humans are just one of the intelligent beings in the Multiverse. They may dominate in some worlds, but other intelligent beings also have the right to exist.

"I can only take you this far."

"Once you cross this mountain, walk a bit further, and you'll see a cliff; her lair is there."

The wooden spirit hesitated, then whispered, "If she is more than you can handle."

"Run back here."

"I can figure out a way to protect you!"

Hearing her words, a gentle smile appeared on Su Ziyu's face, and he softly replied, "Thank you. I am well aware and won't make mistakes."

"Wait a minute." Just as Su Ziyu was about to turn and leave, the wooden spirit whispered, "Can you... can you give me a name?..."

"I... I don't have a name yet..."

A name?

Hearing this, Su Ziyu paused. He was not really skilled at giving names, especially Fusang names. After some thought, he hesitated and said, "How about Mu Lingji?"

Hearing his words, the wooden spirit's eyes lit up, and she nodded, "Great!"

"I'll be called Mu Lingji from now on."

Such a naive and silly child.

Su Ziyu didn't expect that a name he casually mentioned would make her so happy. He wasn't good at giving Fusang names. He had heard of someone named Kaguya before and just randomly thought of the name Mu Lingji.
