Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

Zicomo thought for a moment and realized that even if Huo Xuan hadn't left the country for a long time, he was still more familiar with the ancient Eastern country than they were.

It just so happens that he doesn't know where Phoenix is ​​in Kunlun, so bringing Huo Xuan along means he'll at least have someone to consult.

And so, Zicomo's tour group gained one more person.

"By the way, where are you going next?"

Huo Xuan sat on Qi Kemo's flying carpet, only then realizing that she hadn't asked Qi Kemo where their destination was.

“We plan to go to Kunlun to see if we can encounter a phoenix,” Zicomo replied.

"Kunlun is such a vast mountain range; encountering a phoenix, an auspicious beast, is no easy feat. By the way, are you in a hurry to get there?" Huo Xuan asked.

“No rush, what’s wrong?” Zicomo asked in return.

If they were in a hurry to get to Kunlun, they wouldn't have used such a slow mode of transportation as the flying carpet.

Huo Xuan scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Hehe, it's just that I haven't been out and about for too long, and I wanted to go to the city for a stroll. How about we go to the city for a couple of days first?"

Zicomo was somewhat tempted by Huo Xuan's suggestion.

After arriving in the ancient Eastern country, he only had a simple breakfast in the city before heading to Mount Shu with Li Xuanjian. They haven't had a proper chance to explore it yet.

The meaning of travel is not only to appreciate the scenery along the way, but also to experience the food culture and customs of different places.

Flying straight to your destination like Zicomo allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way, but after a while, you can get tired of the scenery.

So Zicomo slightly changed his itinerary and decided to stop in the cities along the way.

Anyway, they still have plenty of time.

They set off in late June and stayed in Shushan for more than a week. It's only almost July now.

With two months until the start of the school term, they can enjoy this trip to the fullest.

Zicomo and his three companions set off from Sichuan and Chongqing, heading north.

Whenever they come to a city, they stay for a few days to taste the local cuisine and learn about the local culture.

And so, the four of them traveled at a leisurely pace, taking more than a month to finally reach the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

…………

The Kunlun Mountains stretch from the eastern Pamir Plateau, traversing three provinces of this ancient Eastern country. They are approximately 2500 kilometers long, with an average elevation of 5500-6000 meters, a width of 130-200 kilometers, and a total area of ​​over 50 square kilometers.

Kunlun Mountain holds a prominent position as the "ancestor of all mountains" in the cultural history of ancient China, and was also known as the "ancestor of dragon veins" by the ancients.

In ancient Eastern mythology, a deity named "Queen Mother of the West" lived in the Kunlun Mountains. She had a human head and a leopard body, and was attended by two bluebirds.

The Queen Mother of the West is a principal deity in Taoism, and she and the King Father of the East are in charge of guiding men and women to immortality.

Zicomo didn't know how much truth there was in these myths and legends, nor did he intend to investigate whether a fairy realm truly existed.

He hasn't even explored the space behind the Death God's Altar yet, let alone explored whether the Immortal Realm truly exists.

It is known from mythology that there are 365 righteous gods in the Heavenly Court.

Given Zicomo's current god-like strength, it's questionable whether he can defeat Death, so it's best not to provoke this vast Eastern mythological system.

At this moment, Zicomo and his three companions were resting by a river at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

Huo Xuan gazed at the distant, endless mountain range, then turned to Qi Kemo and asked, "Young brother, the Kunlun Mountains are so vast, where should we go to find the phoenix?"

“Big sister, shouldn’t I be asking you this question? Do you remember you said you were coming to be our tour guide?” Zicomo said helplessly. “Also, why do you call Hermione and Lani ‘girl’, but add ‘little’ to me?”

"Hahaha, I didn't know where Phoenix was either. As for how I address you, I'm used to it. I can change it if you don't like it."

Huo Xuan laughed heartily, without the slightest hint of embarrassment on his face.

Zicomo sighed helplessly.

After spending more than a month together, he had figured out Huo Xuan's personality.

Chapter 183 Zicomo's Wings, Huo Xuan, an older single woman

Huo Xuan is the kind of tomboy who's very easygoing and doesn't use her brain as much as possible.

I really don't know how she managed to learn alchemy and weapon crafting back then. Could it be because she didn't have such a big burden back then?

Zicomo glanced at Huo Xuan's ample chest and thought to himself.

Noticing Zicomo's gaze, Huo Xuan was neither shy nor angry.

Instead, she teased Zicomo, saying, "Hey little Zicomo, you wouldn't happen to be interested in me, would you? If you are, just say so. You're so handsome, I don't mind!"

Zicomo rolled his eyes. This woman was not only a tomboy, but also a female hooligan.

To be honest, Huo Xuan was indeed his type; she gave Qi Kemo the feeling of a carefree, easygoing older sister next door.

Zicomo, who was an orphan in his previous life, longed for an older sister to take care of him for a period of time when he was a child.

Aside from being caring, Huo Xuan perfectly embodies the image of an older sister in Zicomo's mind.

Okay, Zicomo stopped pretending and came clean.

He just lusts after other women's bodies.

Who wouldn't like a beautiful, voluptuous, mature older woman?

Despite his craving, Zicomo had no intention of taking a bite.

In matters of the heart, Zicomo prefers a natural, spontaneous approach, which is his attitude towards relationships.

However, what he didn't know was that, possessing Michaela's allure, he was constantly attracting the opposite sex.

(It might also attract men; how do you think Monge fell in love with Michaela?)

This is also why Huo Xuan, a person with such a fiery temper, only teased Qi Kemo when she discovered that Qi Kemo was looking at her there.

If it were any other man, she would have slapped him long ago. And it would have been a slap imbued with magic.

In response to Huo Xuan's teasing, Zicomo retorted, "I'm simply appreciating beautiful things. As an old man once said, 'I look at girls every day, with no other intentions than for my own pleasure.'"

"So, you must be having a pretty good time every day?" Huo Xuan continued to tease, "After all, you have three beautiful girls with you every day."

“That’s right! Traveling with you guys every day makes me feel a lot younger,” Zicomo said with a smile.

"Tch, you talk like an old man. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're older than me!" Huo Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "If you get any younger, you'll really be a little brother."

Zicomo smiled but didn't say anything. Considering his actual age, including his previous life, he was only about thirty years old, indeed not as old as Huo Xuan.

However, in terms of physical age, he is several hundred years older than Huo Xuan.

"Wait a minute!" Huo Xuan suddenly realized something and turned to Lani, asking, "Miss Lani, aren't you angry at him for acting like this?"

"Why would I be angry?" Lani asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You're his fiancée. Shouldn't you be angry that he's looking at other women?" Huo Xuan asked.

"I see. You mean why I'm not jealous?" Lani said knowingly. "There's no need. Although the King is a bit amorous, he's not a fickle person. He won't fall in love with every girl he meets, so I don't need to be jealous over such a trivial matter."

"You're really open-minded. Aren't you afraid he might cheat on you with another woman someday?"

Huo Xuan couldn't quite understand Lani's thoughts.

"No, he usually doesn't hide his affairs from me."

Lani's words left Huo Xuan completely dumbfounded.

"Hey girl, is this a matter of whether he's hiding it from you or not?" Huo Xuan asked urgently, his Sichuan-Chongqing dialect even slipping out. "This is a matter of him finding women! You wouldn't be thinking of sharing a man with other women, would you?"

"Of course I don't want to, but given how outstanding the king is, I'm destined to be more than just one person by his side."

Lani calmly uttered words that shocked Huo Xuan.

Huo Xuan couldn't understand it; she was deeply shocked.

"Wait! You wouldn't..."

Huo Xuan's gaze swept back and forth between Zicomo and Hermione. Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was self-evident.

"uh-huh!"

Zicomo nodded, pulled Hermione close, and kissed her on the cheek, confirming Huo Xuan's guess that he and Hermione were indeed a couple.

The little witch lowered her head shyly because of Zicomo's actions.

This was the first time their relationship had been known to outsiders, which made her a little shy.

Huo Xuan had a look of sudden realization.

No wonder Hermione and Zicomo have been so close all along; she had assumed it was because they were cousins.

Unexpectedly, the two were actually in a romantic relationship.

"The current policy advocates monogamy. Are you sure this is okay?" Huo Xuan asked.

“We are now monogamous, one wife and one wife,” Zicomo joked.

Huo Xuan exclaimed in surprise, this was the first time she had ever heard of monogamy being understood in this way.

"How did you manage to keep those two from being jealous of each other?" Huo Xuan suddenly asked, curious about this question.

"There's no such thing as 'smoothing out' or 'not soothing out.' My encounter with Lani was a matter of fate."

At this point, Zicomo looked at Lani, and Lani looked at Zicomo as well. The two smiled at each other.
