After the transaction, Yuan returned to his original appearance and asked, "So, who is this individual who might have the information I want?"
The Supreme Ox, now with a pleasing-to-the-eyes appearance, spoke with a satisfied smile, "The Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy is known to have knowledge that surpasses every Predator in the Primal Expanse. If she doesn't have the information you need, I'm afraid that nobody else in the Primal Expanse does."
"Where can I find this Divine Fox?"
"The Mystic Valley, but unless the Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy wants to see you, it's almost impossible to find her."
"Sounds a bit troublesome, but I'll figure it out when I get there. Thank you for the information."
"By the way, which dragon tribe are you from?" The Supreme Ox suddenly asked.
"That's a secret."
"Is that so? Then keep your secrets."
A moment later, a small figure appeared before Yuan like a ghost.
"W-who the hell are you?!" The Supreme Ox was startled by Yingzi's sudden appearance, looking like he couldn't believe he didn't notice her presence until she stood right before him.
'No… even with my eyes directly on her, I cannot sense her presence! This ghost-like presence… she must be—'
"Shadow Dweller! What are you doing in my territory?! And that appearance… where did you acquire such a high-quality appearance?!"
"Shadow Dweller?" Yuan raised an eyebrow at this familiar name.
He turned to look at Yingzi, who turned out to have the same bloodline as one of the Nine Divine Supremes!
"Are you trying to start another bloodbath in my territory?!" The Supreme Ox roared, and the presences that appeared to threaten Yuan returned, but there were significantly more this time.
"Don't mind me. I am only here as that guy's travel guide." Yingzi remained calm despite the many threatening presences surrounding them and pointed at Yuan with her gaze.
"T-travel guide? You?" The Supreme Ox couldn't believe what he was hearing.
How could an entity like her become a guide for someone else, even if that individual was a dragon?
"Are you ready to go to the Mystic Valley?" she asked Yuan the next moment.
"How far away is the Mystic Valley from this place?"
Yingzi pondered for a moment before responding, "Fifty years, give or take."
"…"
'You can't be serious…'
Yuan was left absolutely gobsmacked by the ridiculous distance. He thought half a year was already bad enough, but fifty years?
"That's too long!" he cried out loud.
Seeing an opportunity to earn more appearances, the Supreme Ox said, "I know of a way to get to the Mystic Valley in six months."
"Oh?" Yuan turned to look at him with a hopeful gaze.
"There's a natural space tunnel that will take you to the Snowy Fox Mountain, which is around six months away from the Mystic Valley."
