Chapter 564: Chapter 331: Siege of the Arrogant
“Honorable guests from afar, though you are tall, if you had seen the citizens of Shan Yu country, you would not consider us small!”
Standing in the air inside the city, graciously escorted by the diminutive people, Feng Qing’an heard these complaints from the mayor of the small city, who only reached his waist, and he couldn’t help but smile.
When he entered the Phoenix Clan Cave Sky, he naturally did not deliberately cast any spells to hide his figure. Even though the scenery was different from the outside world, the spiritual Qi here far surpassed that of any ordinary area in the outside world. The native inhabitants here, nourished by spiritual Qi, must display a variety of divine anomalies. It’s unnecessary to fuss over it.
“Are there people even smaller than you?”
His thoughtless remark upon first meeting had been a source of endless discussion for these three-foot-tall people, even now, they never forgot nor admitted that Feng Qing’an considered them small. They thought they weren’t small, Feng Qing’an was just too tall.
“Of course there are, honorable guest from afar, have you truly traveled many places?”
The mayor of the small city, adorned with vibrant feathers and splendid clothes, was undoubtedly extravagant. However, looking at Feng Qing’an now, he couldn’t help but feel slightly doubtful.
“Are we the smallest people you’ve seen throughout your journey?”
“I haven’t been to many places. I’ve just started my journey not too long ago. But as of now, you indeed are the smallest people I have ever seen.”
Even though he had seen quite a few places, considering the intense emotions of these tiny people, Feng Qing’an chose a more careful wording. In comparison to the vast world, he’d indeed visited very few places.
These beings held similarities to the Human Race while displaying distinct characteristics, which, to this day, he just started truly interacting with. These so-called three-foot tall men from Jiaorao country were considered a branch of the Heterogeneous Clan, albeit less well-known.
The most famous among the Heterogeneous Clan were the merfolk from vast oceans. Pearls formed from merfolk tears and the mermaid silk they wove were world-renowned rarities.
“Then you should visit the Shan Yu country, where they are even smaller than your palm. But, if you went there, no matter how enthusiastic they are, you wouldn’t be able to visit their homes. Just passing by might risk destroying their hard-built city.”
As the words of the mayor fell, the room filled with laughter. The tiny people, who had previously been unhappy with Feng Qing’an calling them small, burst out laughing.
“…”
Feng Qing’an raised his head slightly, looking at the ceiling less than a fist distance above, and managed a polite, warm smile.
“I wonder, elder, can you tell me where Shan Yu country is?”
Feng Qing’an was interested in these peculiarities. In the outside world, sightings of the Heterogeneous Clan were so rare they were almost extinct.
The only place one could spot them anymore was in these enclosed cave sky mystical realms. They were the descendants of a Heterogeneous Clan that had thrived countless years ago.
“I’m afraid for that, you’ll have to go to our capital and ask our Great High Priest. I learned about the existence of Shan Yu country from the elders in my youth, I have never seen it myself.”
The answer from the mayor left Feng Qing’an speechless, but the small three-foot man continued to proudly relay the knowledge of his youth.
“I’ve heard that they once sent us a letter. But they’re so small that we couldn’t even recognize the words they wrote on it.
Our merciful king gave them a cup of wine to take back at the time, and it resulted in their entire nation being drunk for ten days and nights.”
“It seems I won’t get the chance to meet people smaller than you.”
Feng Qing’an let out a sigh.
“No, not only are the people of Shan Yu country smaller than us, but I also know of a race similar in size to them which differs. They have been blessed by the gods with the ability to move as swiftly as birds even on land and are impervious to harm by aggressive beasts in the forests.”
In the hall, hearing Feng Qing’an’s sigh, one of the nobles couldn’t help but reveal this information.
“What kind of people are they?”
Feng Qing’an, eyes gleaming, quickly inquired.
The Cave Sky he was in undoubtedly harbored anomalies. Otherwise, how could an ordinary Phoenix Clan Cave Sky give rise to an Undead Nether Phoenix like Youyou.
Asking the native inhabitants of the Cave Sky was undeniably the quickest way to discover the answers he sought. As long as he found the right people, the answers he sought would be laid bare before him.
“Are you referring to the people of Honghu country?!”
Just as the noble had finished speaking, the small city mayor’s face drastically changed – as though he had broken an unspoken taboo. His smile disappeared, leaving behind a look of fear and unease.
“The people of Honghu country?”
Feng Qing’an raised an eyebrow. Honghu?
Honghu, if he remembered correctly, it was a type of divine bird categorized as a Phoenix. Could it be that the people of Honghu country, who were similar in size to those of Shan Yu, were blessed by this divine bird?
“Traveler from afar, you can visit our capital and seek our Great High Priest to know about Shan Yu’s whereabouts. But, you must never pursue the trails of the people of Honghu country. They are beings that we cannot offend. They are the favored ones of the gods. Offending them would invite divine retribution!”
