Alibuda Chronicles Volume 3: Chapter 7 The Great Wilderness of Youli

"Wow!"

I woke up with a shout. Everything that had just happened vanished like a dream, including Phoenix. Everything had disappeared without a trace. I was still asleep on the table, except that my crotch was wet.

(Was it really just a wet dream?!)

In my confusion, I heard a delicate voice beside me.

"Oh, Master, you're awake. Are you getting ready for dinner?"

The slanting rays of the setting sun shone through the window, casting a soft red glow in the room. Pretty Ah Xue was holding a bunch of flowers and was putting them into a vase. Her cute fox tail swayed back and forth behind her, indicating her good mood.

"You're really something, always in such a good mood. What about that thing that should be euthanized?"

"You mean Leopard? I just took a bath with it. Its fur is so beautiful, and its wings can even be folded up and disappear. It's sleeping in my room now."

I didn't care whether that alien dragon leopard's wings could be folded up or not. All I could think about was taking a bath with Xue and fondling her ample breasts and buttocks. It was truly a delightful experience, and I was deeply envious. However, what was bothering me at that moment was still what had just happened.

(Was it a dream? That female demon was really hot. I've never seen such a tempting woman before. Her fair skin and white flesh made my mouth water just thinking about it... Have I been sexually frustrated lately? Why am I having such erotic dreams? It seems I should spend tonight with little Xue... Huh?)

Seeing something that wasn't right, I quickly stood up and snatched the small copper pot that Xue was playing with. It was a long, flat copper jar, about the size of a palm, engraved with delicate seashell patterns. It was quite beautiful, but what truly caught my attention was that I had seen it not long ago.

(Sure enough, it was the "Willful of Me" portable jar that Phoenix mentioned earlier—was she so angry she forgot to take it with her?)

If it was something related to demons, it was probably a magical artifact. I remembered Phoenix saying that I could use this "Willful of Me" portable jar to conjure up whatever I wanted, within certain limits. Although, judging by its size, it couldn't conjure up much, having such a magical tool was still very useful.

"Huh? Master, your left eye?!"

Only after Xue pointed it out did I notice a dark circle under my left eye, naturally Phoenix's doing. Lost in thought, I glanced down and saw a silver ring on my left ring finger. A faint red glow flowed eerily across its silver surface.

(So that's how it is... that dream... it was real...)

Mixed with joy and sorrow, I looked at the silver ring on my ring finger, speechless for a moment... After tidying up my tasks, we set off the next day. The destination entrusted to me by the Dragon Girl, Skeva City, I had only heard of before. I knew it was in the heart of the Southern Barbarian lands, requiring traversing layers of forests, but I didn't know its exact location. I asked the local treasure hunters, but their answers were vague and unclear. After all, none of them had experience venturing deep into the Southern Barbarian lands and couldn't possibly know the precise location. It seemed I would have to ask as we went.

However, entering the rainforest mountains empty-handed wouldn't be feasible. I led Ah Xue to the market to purchase necessities, from water bottles and waterproof boots to a longsword for clearing the way, tinder, and warm blankets... we bought everything we needed.

We can skip the bow and arrows that are essential for most travelers. I'm not very strong, and I probably wouldn't be able to draw a bow and shoot. Ah Xue is strong enough, but that clumsy woman's aim is terrible. It's easier to just throw heavy objects.

"Young man, you want to go into the forest? Going in like this is very dangerous. The orcs there don't welcome humans at all..."

Hearing that I wanted to venture deep into the forest, all I heard were voices of dissuasion. Many merchants sized me up and immediately shook their heads dismissively.

"I heard that the Zoroastrian cult has been expanding its influence there recently, and several tribes are locked in fierce battles. If outsiders go in now, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what? Looking at your eyes, do you think I'd never come back? Let me tell you, I'm not only an outstanding treasure merchant, but also an outstanding treasure hunter. This time, I'm venturing into Youli to retrieve treasures. You just wait and see me come out rich."

Perhaps having seen too many fools like me who spouted wild words only to disappear without a trace in the rainforest, the crowd didn't react strongly. Instead, a half-beast monkey-man with a wretched appearance quietly followed me and Ah Xue until there was no one else around. Finally, I couldn't help but turn around and question him.

"You bastard! What are you doing following me so suspiciously?"

"Ah, nothing, I just saw you're heading deep into the Southern Barbarian lands, so I was wondering if you had anything valuable you didn't want anymore. It's a waste to take it with you anyway, so why not sell it to me cheaply?"

"........."

"This leopard you're carrying has a glossy pelt. It'll fetch a good price if you skin it and sell it. And this female slave next to you, although she's wearing a mask, has a voluptuous figure, especially her breasts..."

"Give me the money!"

"What? Sir, you're really easy to talk to, you've already made a deal so quickly. Since you're so agreeable, I can give you a higher price."

"Who said I wanted to do business with you? I said give me all your valuables. This is robbery."

I glared at this ungrateful monkey-eared fellow and said angrily, "Hurry up and give me all your valuables, then automatically take off your clothes. Otherwise, at my command, hehe, you don't think this cheetah is just for show, do you?"

And so, we finished our last business before leaving and officially set off for the Tree Sea of Youli. To blend in with the local customs, I began to consider changing my alias. After all, the future was uncertain, and who knew what misfortunes might befall me? If I were to suffer another humiliation like the exposure incident in the palace, gaining international notoriety, my life would be over.

Besides, the name John Farrell was now quite well-known internationally. I had incurred the wrath of Ishtar and Solancia in two consecutive battles, and many husbands and sons had died because of me, while many more families had been sold into slavery in foreign lands. To put it bluntly, one day I might be walking down the street when a stranger suddenly stabbed me with a dagger and assassinated me. Under such circumstances, entering Youli under my real name would be far too dangerous. For these reasons, I decided to change my alias.

The naming customs of the Southern Barbarian beastmen have two schools of thought. One follows the grammar of my name and Phoenix's, while the other uses colors as surnames, combined with other natural elements, such as Silver Moon, Emerald Feather, Purple River, and so on. If I were to change my name, it would be best to start from this side.

After much thought, I decided to choose a more imposing name, hoping to regain my former glory in the Southern Barbarians. Blue Eagle is a bird of prey native to this area, inhabiting high mountains and feeding on venomous snakes and other poisonous creatures. It is about the size of a small calf, with sharp claws and moves like the wind. Being injured by its claws will cause petrification, which is very difficult to treat, making it a headache for hunters. However, because of this, its claws are a high-priced commodity on the market.

"It's decided, to conform to local customs, let's call it Blue Eagle!"

When I told Ah Xue not to call me by my real name when we were in Youli, this usually clueless person just asked me with great curiosity.

"Oh, Master, should I change my name too? Would that make things easier in Youli?"

Foolish woman, you're already using a pseudonym. If you don't believe me, try going to Youli under the name Tianhe Xueqiong. You'd be lucky if those beasts didn't devour you alive.

“Well… just wear a mask. There are a lot of orcs there, and plenty of them with bigger breasts than you. As long as no one sees your face, no one will try to molest you. As for your name… just call me Silly Xue.”

Xue naturally wouldn’t have it and kept pestering me. But thankfully, having such a slow-witted person with a nerve thicker than a water pipe kept us from getting bored in this harsh environment and gave us a little peace of mind.

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless primeval forest, with lush branches and dense foliage. Ancient vines entwined the mottled tree trunks, climbing straight up to the tops. These ancient trees, hundreds or even thousands of years old, were all dozens of feet tall, their sprawling branches and leaves forming large, dark green umbrellas that enveloped the entire sea of trees.

In such an environment, sunlight didn’t easily penetrate to the ground. Even when we walked through the forest and looked up, we could only see the sunlight being fragmented by the dense branches and leaves, barely managing to penetrate the ground as tiny golden specks.

In denser areas, the lack of sunlight and the high humidity create layers of thick, murky fog that obscures everything, making it appear as a hazy white blur, obscuring all vision. It might sound pleasant, but when you're walking through the fog, unable to see clearly, and suddenly bump into a tree trunk, experiencing a splitting headache, you'll know how dangerous it is.

Walking in the jungle is far from the pleasant experience of a typical outdoor hike. The temperature is very low, and you often find yourself shivering and wanting to find something warm to hug. A strong, damp smell constantly fills the air, making you feel even colder, and you start to regret not staying in your comfortable bed, snuggling up to Ah Xue, and instead venturing into such a desolate place.

The sounds I heard were far from pleasant. In this pitch-black environment, the occasional shrill, urgent bird call, like the mournful cry of a night owl, sent chills down my spine, as if some demon were about to emerge from the darkness.

No one tidied the forest; fallen leaves piled up in thick heaps, rotting underfoot. The ground was soft, slippery mud, covered in moss, and at first, I often slipped and fell, unaccustomed to it. Small animals like squirrels and rabbits would dart past my feet and disappear in an instant. These were all manageable, but when venomous creatures like snakes, scorpions, and centipedes also darted past my feet in the thick fog, I could only be thankful I was wearing tall boots, and those boots were indeed thick enough.

Physical stamina was also a problem. Although we were soldiers, noble children didn't have much experience in marching, and my stamina wasn't very good due to practicing magic and excessive sexual activity. So, without a mount, trekking long distances through the forest meant I could only stop and rest frequently. By the third day, I even had blisters on my feet. I finally couldn't take it anymore. Seeing Ah Xue running and jumping around so carefree, playing with the dragon leopard as they walked, really made me furious.

“It’s decided, Xue. Go find some vines and make a carrying chair. From now on, you’ll carry me.”

“Huh? Master, but… I’ve already taken care of all the luggage. If I carry you too, it seems a bit heavy.”

“Nonsense. Anyway, you’re strong and fast. I’ve already been very kind to you by not making you lie down like a horse.”

As usual, Xue quickly gave in and we made a simple soft chair together. For the rest of the journey, I sat on the chair and she carried me, greatly reducing the hardship of the trek.

Sleeping at night was a bit troublesome. The forest nights were damp and cold. I covered myself with a blanket and had a fire in front of me, but I still couldn’t help shivering from the cold. At this time, I envied Xue. She didn’t even need a blanket. She just lay down on the dragon leopard, using its soft and warm fur as a pillow, and slept soundly and sweetly.

(This is so unfair! A goddess like Tianhe Xueqiong should be pampered, so why is she so adaptable? She can eat anything and sleep anywhere, like a sow. Is becoming a beastman really that convenient?)

The more I thought about it, the more resentful I became, and I complained to Xueqiong again. Still sleepy, she turned her head and thought for a moment, then offered to switch places with me, generously giving me her warm bed.

"You get the blanket, and I get the leopard? Forget it, I can't afford such an expensive blanket."

We've been traveling together for several days, and the dragon-leopard has become very familiar with Xueqiong, as if they were born in the same litter. However, it still harbors deep hostility towards others, especially me. It always stares at me fiercely, as if it's ready to pounce and bite my throat at the first opportunity. If I were to use it as a blanket like Xueqiong, I definitely wouldn't survive until tomorrow morning.

But speaking of this leopard, it is indeed very strange. It's just a female beast, yet it's so arrogant. Whether it's walking or lying down, it always holds its head high, looking incredibly proud. When it sees me, it either glares angrily or simply turns its head away, ignoring me completely.

Hmph, so what if it's an ancient mythical beast? Offending me, I'll skin that beast alive one day. Especially lately, because of it, I haven't been able to find a chance to be intimate with Ah Xue again. Oral sex in the morning is fine, but when I try to trick Ah Xue into bed, and that brat struggles, that beast roars, leaps out, and blocks Ah Xue's path, preventing me from advancing. Once, it even pounced on me and knocked me to the ground—it was so close!

"Ah Xue, you need to control your pet. If you let it run wild like this, tie it up with an iron chain and stop it from running around like this."

Ah Xue refused my request with a straight face. "No way! Little Purple didn't do anything wrong. It's all Master's fault. He wanted to... wanted to play with my little butt, so Little Purple did this."

For convenience, Ah Xue gave the Jade Dragon Leopard the strange name "Violet" and nicknamed it Little Purple. And seemingly because it had a companion, and was emboldened by the number of people, Ah Xue, who was usually obedient to me, even stuck out her tongue and made faces at me playfully after refusing my advances.

(I'm so angry! I'm so damn angry! Remember this, I'll take care of you two beasts sooner or later...)

I had finally managed to pluck Ah Xue's anus and was imagining how wonderful it would be, but I was forced to stop. I gritted my teeth and vowed revenge, but given the current situation, I really didn't dare to kill that leopard.

Although it had folded its wings, this leopard looked no different from an ordinary black panther. However, its nose and senses were truly exceptionally sharp. Walking through the forest, it detected many poisonous insects and toxic mists much earlier than anyone else, leading us away. Within the rainforest, danger lurked at every turn. For two inexperienced novices like Ah Xue and me, without this leopard's protection, we would likely have fainted several times in the colorful miasma and perished in the mouths of the various poisonous creatures of the forest.

The further we went into Youli, the fewer the number of half-orcs became, while the number of pure-blooded orcs increased considerably. These beast-headed, beast-bodied creatures who spoke human language were truly an eyesore. I deeply regretted that they hadn't become extinct beforehand. Their hatred for humans was a major headache; some pure-blooded orcs even harbored hatred for half-orcs with human blood. For this reason alone, they could inexplicably rush over, beat me senseless, mutilate my bones beyond recognition, hang me from a tree, and then gang rape Ah Xue right in front of me.

If such a thing were to actually happen, I would have nothing to say but lament retribution. Fortunately, Violet has a keen nose and always catches their scent first, leading us around them and preventing us from actually encountering those beasts and avoiding a potential crisis.

In truth, even if she encountered those Behemoth Bearmen or Tigermen, Ah Xue's monstrous strength would be enough to put her to a fight. Just watching her snap those massive trees, too thick for one person to encircle, in half with her bare hands and then wildly swing them like weapons, would have been enough to send even the strongest of the beastmen, the Behemoth Bearmen, fleeing in terror. However, as Ah Xue's master, I was reluctant to see this girl engage in hand-to-hand combat. From a martial arts perspective, this girl was too kind-hearted. Although her reflexes were sharp, if she couldn't make the decisive move at the right moment to kill what needed to be killed, the openings she revealed would be enough to make her a fatal target.

"Ah Xue, look at you! Why are you so useless? The male protagonists in legends are always accompanied by female attendants like Holy Martial Gods or Holy Archmages, so impressive! But all you can do is throw stones and break trees. You just embarrass me. Don't you feel ashamed?"

If Ah Xue had good martial arts or magic skills, she wouldn't have to dodge the orcs so pathetically. With just a third of her skills as Tianhe Xueqiong, we could walk freely in the forest.

"Oh, but... Master, isn't it usually the master who protects the disciple? I've already helped you carry your luggage and done so much else. Why do I have to fight too? Besides, we have Xiao Zi. It's very strong and can breathe fire and electricity. It will definitely come in handy in dangerous situations."

"You brat, what kind of attitude is this? How dare you ask your master to do things for you? The master is for giving advice, the disciple is the one who charges into battle. If the master can't hide behind when it's time to fight, then what's the point of having disciples? 'When there's trouble, the disciple should serve.' This is a famous saying from the classics. Sages, you know, are great creatures that can walk on two legs and don't bark. Do you dare to disobey what the sages said?"

I said, taking the initiative and leaving Ah Xue speechless. "Don't think that leopard is of any use. If it were really that strong, why would it have been captured by those beastmen and used for public breeding? The enemy we're about to face will definitely be very strong. If we don't give you some ability to protect yourself first, you might end up being captured and used for breeding along with that leopard, breeding again and again, having a great time. Do you enjoy that?"

Perhaps thinking of Violet's tragic state that day, Ah Xue's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she kept shaking her head and saying no.

"If you don't want to become like that, you have to practice what I ask you to practice. As long as you are strong, you have nothing to fear."

"But... Master, what you teach is too difficult to practice... I, I really can't..."

"What? You want to be lazy? How many times have I told you, diligence conquers all difficulties. As long as you do it seriously, magic is not difficult at all."

"That's not what I meant. Every time you ask me to practice magic, you have to catch some kittens and ducklings, cut off their heads, and bleed them. I, I don't want to do that kind of thing..." At this point, Ah Xue was so anxious that she jumped up and down, and tears began to slide down her cheeks.

"Aren't there many ways to practice magic? I can diligently memorize incantations, or practice relentlessly, why must I harm other things?"

"Go to hell! You're practicing dark magic! If dark magic doesn't kill, how can it be called dark magic? Do you think you're a clergyman, trying to practice some clean spell? Half-orcs should act like half-orcs. Come on, don't get it."

This is the biggest problem we're facing now. Frankly, with Xue's soft heart, she's simply not cut out for dark magic. The normal training process usually involves accumulating a certain amount of magic power, then forming a contract with a dark deity of a suitable level. After completing the trial, the contract is complete, and one can then use that spell.

Alternatively, there's necromancy. One goes to a graveyard, gathers a bunch of bones or corpses, and uses incantations and items to absorb the eerie energy of a large number of spirits, increasing magic power. When enough magic power is available, one becomes a necromancer who commands various zombies, evil spirits, and demonic beings.

Regardless of the type, anything falling under the umbrella of dark magic requires the sacrifice of living beings' blood. Blood has always been a very special catalyst in dark magic; many spells work in conjunction with blood, because for various evil spirits dwelling in darkness, blood rich in life essence is the most coveted bait.

However, letting Ah Xue practice this is a huge mistake. She's afraid of everything and unwilling to harm anything. Human flesh is out of the question; even killing chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs makes her weak-kneed and cry. Of course, she won't make any progress after a year.

But if she could make up her mind to practice, she should quickly make amazing progress. Normally, among the six major magical elements, besides wind, a priestess like Tianhe Xueqiong, who has cultivated light magic since childhood, shouldn't be able to cultivate other magical elements. But I don't know exactly how the Black Dragon Society's transformation surgery worked, or if this was an unexpected consequence of a failed transformation. Tianhe Xueqiong's powerful cultivation was entirely converted into the purest energy, without any distinction of nature, granting her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for transformation.

Because her entire body was filled with immense energy, Xueqiong's physique became extremely strong, unleashing terrifying power with every movement. Conversely, if there were a channel to allow this energy to take on a specific form and be slowly released, Xueqiong's magic would develop naturally, allowing her to reach the level of a high-level mage overnight. Of course,

I wouldn't be foolish enough to make her practice light magic again. Although her previous foundation made her body more receptive to light magic and less burdened when using it, this would also relatively increase her chances of healing her old brain injuries and regaining her memories. If I didn't end up torn to pieces then, it would be a miracle.

In my mind, I was still plotting some wicked schemes. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever, and no secrets that last forever. I dare not hope that Xue will remain foolish forever. Even if she doesn't regain her memories, she might still be discovered by the people of Cihang Jingdian in the future. Therefore, I must devise a foolproof plan.

As a priestess of Cihang Jingdian, and the future Holy Maiden of Light who is very likely to take over the entire Cihang Jingdian, she has cultivated a set of evil and cruel black magic. Coupled with the blood stains on her hands from her time practicing black magic, even if she wanted to turn back, Cihang Jingdian would never accept a dark mage returning to their sect. In that case, Tianhe Xueqiong would be completely ruined. This is my backup plan, a backup plan where even if she kills me, she will still have to perish with me.

I am a very vengeful person. Once I have a grudge, as long as I get the chance, my methods of revenge will be ruthless. Back in Nalivia, even a scumbag as audacious as Awu was afraid of this and did not want to have a conflict with me. Leng Linglan and Tianhe Xueqiong publicly humiliated me like that; just thinking about it makes me want to stomp my feet and pound the wall in hatred. Now that the opportunity has been handed to me, how could I not take advantage of it?

Moreover, imagining the process of turning a saintess into a witch in her fall from grace gives me an inexplicable sense of pleasure. It's not just the joy of successful revenge, but also the satisfaction of destroying something perfect. Just thinking about it makes me sneer with smug satisfaction.

"Hmph! Hmph hmph hmph..."

"Oh ho, Master, why are you laughing so strangely? Your hands are shaking, your neck is shaking, even your shoulders are shaking. Xiao Zi said you're laughing like a toad that's about to die." A Xue frowned and asked in confusion, "What does 'a toad that's about to die' mean? Does it mean you're very happy?" I

was just feeling smug about my demonic feeling of controlling everything when this silly girl's question ruined the atmosphere. I was about to retort in annoyance when I realized the abnormality in her words.

"Ah Xue, what did you just say? You and this beast... you and Violet can communicate? Can you understand what it says?"

Ah Xue nodded in agreement, indicating that she had gradually been able to understand the meaning in Violet's voice since a few days ago. She even hugged Violet with a smile, looking like a sweet owner and pet.

Well, strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual. Compared to humans, it's probably easier for orcs to understand the language of wild beasts.

Actually, getting Ah Xue to practice dark magic shouldn't be difficult; I just haven't found the method yet. Perhaps the Ah Xue before me is a genuine expression of her true nature, but the Tianhe Xueqiong I encountered was as cold as ice. Judging from her aloofness, she would likely be ruthless in killing those she deemed evil. Such bloodthirstiness is only a hair's breadth away from the personality required for dark magic. If Cihang Jingdian can train people like this, I have no reason not to.

So, I tried everything to give Ah Xue some foundation in dark magic before entering Youli, but until we left the rainforest, the results were still fruitless.
