Chapter 54: All the World's Extraordinary People Gather

A young woman with a pair of glowing, snow-white wings landed gracefully on the mountaintop. Her shoes and socks were also pure white, and as she stepped on the rocks, she appeared ethereal and elegant.

She was exceptionally beautiful, youthful, and vibrant, not appearing aloof. However, anyone attempting to approach her would sense a respectful distance, making her inviolable.

People were surprised that this unbelievably beautiful woman was trying to win over Chu Feng.

Her name was Gong Xiaoxi. With a gentle smile, she introduced herself simply and appropriately, then politely explained her purpose, expressing a desire to speak with Chu Feng.

Chu Feng's voice was hoarse; he didn't dare use his normal voice. The last incident made him uneasy, as he truly didn't know what had happened to her after she ate the lamb skewers.

Of course, he actually really wanted to know, driven by a slight mischievous curiosity.

So, while speaking, he was slightly distracted, constantly observing this vibrant young woman. She couldn't be very old, probably around twenty.

Gong Xiaoxi remained calm and smiled politely. Seeing that Chu Feng politely declined her offer and was unwilling to join any camp, she didn't press the matter.

In fact, she had indeed appeared because she valued Chu Feng's strength, but it would have been unrealistic to invite him to join on their first meeting.

Furthermore, she had to consider it from another angle: what if this person was a master from Heavenly God Biological, or if Lin Ye Yu was deliberately setting a trap?

She was simply showing goodwill and conveying kindness; regardless of the person's background, she had nothing to lose by doing so.

After pondering, Chu Feng was somewhat surprised. This ethereal and extremely beautiful woman in white was clearly not simple.

Gong Xiaoxi took two steps forward. Suddenly, she paused slightly because she faintly smelled a subtle, yet familiar, fragrance.

"It's you!"

In an instant, her beautiful face stiffened slightly.

Her voice was very soft, inaudible to others, but Chu Feng heard it clearly and immediately felt uneasy. He feigned surprise, displaying a bewildered expression.

"You have a fragrance about you; the scent hasn't changed!" Gong Xiaoxi stared at him.

Chu Feng was startled. He realized he had been careless; the so-called fragrance was naturally emitted by his body, a change since his physique evolved.

According to ancient beliefs, this was a sign of physical sanctification.

Normally, he was very careful, following the methods taught by the yellow ox, hardly letting any scent escape.

However, in this place, there was no need to conceal his aura. Everyone here was an anomaly, and they had all unleashed their strength, ready to attack if a real crisis arose.

Last time, this young woman in white clothes and pants had unexpectedly appeared in his bed. Chu Feng had been somewhat bewildered then and, being careless and not paying attention, his body had naturally emitted the fragrance.

Gong Xiaoxi's beautiful eyebrows rose and fell, and the pure white light wings behind her shed a glow, making her appear even more luminous and unsullied.

"It's actually you!" She was truly surprised; she hadn't realized at all last time that he was a grand master.

Before this, she had been gentle and behaved appropriately, but she had appeared overly steady and composed, which didn't quite match her age.

Only now did other emotional fluctuations appear on her exquisite and beautiful face, as if she were grinding her teeth. Yet, perhaps due to her upbringing, she remained elegant.

"You've got the wrong person, haven't you?" Chu Feng asked softly, just like her, not wanting others to hear.

Gong Xiaoxi smiled, revealing her true nature. Her demeanor was very sweet; even with a hint of annoyance, it was still charming, just as it had been when she was seen at Chu Feng's home last time.

"I know who you are now, hmph!" With that, she stopped looking at Chu Feng and instead stared at the yellow ox. Although she smiled brightly, it made the Ox Demon King slightly nervous, as it felt guilty for having kicked her twice for no reason.

But the yellow ox was thick-skinned and quickly composed itself. It even, in a very gentlemanly manner, placed one "arm" flat on its chest, then bowed, performing a Western greeting.

Gong Xiaoxi turned and left without lingering.

Chu Feng mused that it was probably impossible to hide it now. His voice no longer hoarse, he asked from behind, "Did the medicine I gave you last time work?"

In an instant, Gong Xiaoxi's body stiffened. Her back to him, she didn't turn around, and a few dark lines appeared on her luminous white forehead. However, she finally managed to control herself well, spread her light wings, and soared into the sky.

She transmitted a message from the air: "Ox God King, it's settled then."

"Settled what?" The yellow ox watched, completely bewildered.

In the mountains, many people showed surprise.

"This girl is trying to trick me!" Chu Feng quickly shouted, "I'm used to my freedom; don't even think about it in the future!"

He didn't want people to misunderstand that he had joined a specific faction. If he were to truly oppose massive entities like Heavenly God Biological and Bodhi Gene, the consequences would be severe.

After a slight commotion in the area, it quickly became calm again.

After all, people had come for the mysterious fruit of White Snake Ridge; everything else was secondary.

As time passed, more and more anomalies appeared in this area.

Earlier, mostly masters had occupied this place, but now others were bolder. Seeing how peaceful the area was, with no conflicts, they wanted to observe from a closer distance.

Although many people knew they had little hope of obtaining the rare fruit, if they could witness the event firsthand, it would still be a worthwhile trip.

"How did just anyone get in here?" some anomalies grumbled.

Because, right there in the mountains, there was a very eccentric anomaly handing out business cards everywhere, eager to get to know other anomalies.

Half an hour later, there were even more anomalies in the area, and the voices grew increasingly loud and chaotic, becoming quite noisy.

Especially when a particular anomaly appeared, it caused a commotion. That spot was instantly surrounded by many people, all chattering noisily.

What was most speechless was that quite a few people were taking pictures!

The yellow ox poked Chu Feng's waist, signaling him to look over there.

Chu Feng turned his head and spotted Zhou Quan, who was surrounded by people.

He immediately knew what had happened. He listened closely and, sure enough, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh my god, you're here, and you're actually an anomaly!"

"This is definitely big news!"

"Expression King, don't leave! Come on, let's take a photo together. I admire and respect you immensely!"

Zhou Quan was bewildered. He had sneaked in by climbing the cliff, not following the mountain path with the others, but as soon as he showed his face, he was cornered by people.

He was utterly confused, completely unaware of the situation!

Not until the words "Expression King" reached his ears did he suddenly realize, and then he couldn't help but want to curse loudly. "What a mess is this? Damn that yellow ox!"

"Go away, I don't know you!" Zhou Quan shouted.

"No way, let's take a group photo!" Someone stood shoulder to shoulder with him, raised their communicator, and took a series of selfies.

"Alright, it's my turn, quickly move aside. Expression King, please cooperate; strike an awesome pose, and let's take a head-to-head photo!"

"Damn it, you're infringing on my rights, all of you get away from me!" Zhou Quan was almost in tears. In just a moment, the continuous clicking sounds meant he didn't know how many hundreds of photos had been taken.

And this was just the beginning. More and more people rushed over; even if they couldn't take a group photo with him, they resolutely kept taking quick shots from a distance.

"Can you all be a bit more reserved? We're all anomalies, don't swarm me like this!" Zhou Quan was dying of regret. If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have shown his face; he would have hidden as far away as possible.

His face was now dark, and he could already imagine many more reports about him. The most popular figure on embarrassing photo-sharing sites was actually an anomaly, now appearing in the Taihang Mountains—this would surely be another hot topic.

"Damn it, that ox is going to be the death of me," Zhou Quan cursed again and again. He knew there would definitely be a lot of messy things happening later; just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Just then, an anomaly with great strength forcefully pushed their way forward, pushing everyone else aside. "We must understand respect," they said, "we can only take photos with others' permission."

As soon as Zhou Quan heard this, he immediately felt a good impression.

This person quickly handed over a business card, saying, "Let's get acquainted, my name is Zhou Yitian, this is my business card."

Zhou Quan was suddenly a bit bewildered. It was someone with the same surname, but what was going on? He had just come to join the fun; as an anomaly, did he really need to hand out business cards?

"You're a director?" Zhou Quan was astonished after looking at the business card. What would a person like this want with him?

"I have a great dream," Zhou Yitian said very seriously, "to film the most authentic mythological blockbuster, showcasing the mysterious cultural heritage of ancient East!"

"What does that have to do with me?" Zhou Quan still looked bewildered.

"Your appearance is rugged, uninhibited, and wild," Zhou Yitian said very seriously. "Look, these huge ox horns, being hidden under that slicked-back hair, are simply a waste of natural talent!"

Zhou Quan stared at him. What did he mean? Was he complimenting him?

"I want to film a grand mythological drama," Zhou Yitian said earnestly, "titled 'Ancient Wars of the Ox Demon Great Sage,' starting with an ox demon and connecting the entire ancient mythology. See, this is practically tailor-made for you."

"Get lost!" Zhou Quan was indignant. Where did this lousy director come from to provoke his sore spot? His two ox horns were almost an obsession for him, and now someone wanted to make an ox demon mythological drama about him?

"I'm serious!" Zhou Yitian pointed to the side, where several other anomalies were carrying various photographic equipment.

"Who are you people, coming here to cause trouble?" Zhou Quan said with a dark face.

"They are also anomalies, not causing trouble. They used to be in the film and television industry, and now, utilizing our advantage as anomalies, they've come to the Taihang Mountains for location scouting. Aren't there going to be battles between anomalies? These will all become the grand background for our mythological drama. Imagine, so many anomaly battles, what a magnificent scene! This isn't special effects; it's truly happening—it will surely become an epic mythological drama!" Zhou Yitian grew more excited as he spoke, pulling Zhou Quan and telling him that he would be the lead actor.

Zhou Quan felt dizzy. He shook off the man's hand and very directly told him that he wouldn't film this lousy show!

He indignantly squeezed out of the crowd, fleeing towards a less crowded area. "This is too unlucky!" he thought, "I can meet anyone!"

Suddenly, he heard some sounds, looked up, and discovered two strange-looking individuals on the nearby small mountain, both with horns on their heads.

At this moment, Zhou Quan almost shed tears; he had actually met people in the same predicament.

"Brothers, you have horns too! Let's have a good chat," he said, scrambling up quickly. Looking at the two strange figures dressed in animal skins, somewhat heavily covered, one with golden horns and the other with silver, he immediately felt a sense of camaraderie.

Zhou Quan was like someone who had met a relative, sighing and recounting his woes. The person next to him patted his shoulder, seemingly in sympathy.

Zhou Quan was immediately even more touched, wishing he could confide everything.

"Moo!" Next to him, the other strange person also patted his shoulder, and at the same time emitted a strange sound, which immediately made Zhou Quan's body stiffen.

He sharply turned around, staring at the two strange people.

"It's... you two?!" He wished he could smash his head against the yellow ox!

Chu Feng comforted him, "Don't fret. Also, I think there's some truth to what that director said. You can tell he's very serious, a passionate person. Perhaps in this anomaly battle in the Taihang Mountains, he'll truly create an unconventional, brilliant spectacle. I think you shouldn't refuse him."

"You two also have horns; you're more suitable!" Zhou Quan said crossly.

"Huh, look, who's that?" Chu Feng said, surprised, an unusual expression appearing on his face.

"Ah, isn't that Ding Sitong? The national goddess, my dream lover!" Zhou Quan's previous sighing was long gone, and at this moment, his eyes shone with a roguish gleam.

In the distance, there was a woman, her face extremely beautiful, surrounded by many protectors. She was actually standing among a certain anomaly faction.

"Those are people from Bodhi Gene!" someone whispered.

What's going on? National Goddess Ding Sitong is with people from Bodhi Gene? People used to say her background was extraordinary, but this is truly too astonishing.

"I heard that Ding Sitong is also an anomaly, and the mutation she experienced is very unusual—she grew nine pure white fox tails!" someone whispered in the distance.

"What, a nine-tailed fox!?"

After Chu Feng heard this, he was deeply surprised.

After the great changes in heaven and earth, the impact was indeed immense, affecting everyone. Even the national goddess was an anomaly, very much like the legendary nine-tailed white fox!

"Something's wrong!"

Suddenly, Chu Feng's expression changed slightly. He felt the ground tremble, and a powerful, terrifying aura permeated the entire area!
