Wen Yan raised his right hand, the Calamity Protector Water Official Talisman on the back of his hand glowed slightly, and he touched Tuoba Martial God's forehead with one hand, completing a blessing for him.

"Blessing: You can bless other creatures to be immune to drowning without opening the altar, allowing them to breathe freely in water (the effective range is increased)."

Then he patted the gray cloth, and it instantly flew out, wrapping Tuoba Martial God like a mummy, leaving only his face exposed.

"Is this enough?"

"Not yet, remember, take deep breaths, breathe freely, it's fine."

Wen Yan reminded him and then saw the bracelet on his wrist transform into water, condense into a large amount of vapor, turning into water droplets, and then controlled those droplets to cover Tuoba Martial God's face.

The next moment, the gray cloth moved slightly and completely sealed Tuoba Martial God.

To prevent the leakage of Yang energy, it was sealed, and if sealed without air, it could suffocate a person, which is easy to solve, just breathe water instead of air.

Directly breathing water, adding the trait of being able to breathe underwater without drowning, everything was resolved.

Tuoba Martial God was obviously a bit unaccustomed, instinctively trying to hold his breath, but couldn't hold it for long, water flowed into his lungs from his mouth.

Using this water to trigger the trait.

After getting used to it, he gradually calmed down, feeling the Yang energy, he noticed that the gray cloth, which seemed non-waterproof, not only isolated his Yang energy from the outside but also controlled the water flow to prevent leaks.

"Feel it well, your control over Yang energy at the limit is really poor, progressing is a bit difficult."

"Just wait here slowly, if nothing happens today, consider it as part of your training."

Wen Yan extended his hand, carried the mummy-wrapped Tuoba Martial God, and walked in the mountains.

He was heading to the actual place to open the portal.

The key was gone, and Wen Yan wasn't sure if there was another way to open the portal.

Anyway, if nobody showed up today, it could mean that the so-called Great Demon hasn't awakened.

Or, it might have awakened, gained spiritual intelligence, and was being cautious, choosing not to act.

Oh, another possibility, it might have been killed long ago.

After all, it's been over two thousand years.

Finding a spot overlooking that flatland, Wen Yan tossed Tuoba Martial God aside, retracted his Yang energy, and waited quietly.

Every so often in the mountains, there was an instrument of the Scorching Sun Department, which was left during previous scans.

This place, spanning tens of kilometers, recorded anything moving within this range.

When Wen Yan carried Tuoba Martial God over, there was already a record in the Scorching Sun Department.

Though both of them were registered, they'd merely be tagged, not trigger an alarm.

Actually, Wen Yan had another idea before, to bluff the method to open and close the portal, solve the invisible person, then tonight, deliberately open the portal in controllable conditions.

Let Tuoba Martial God block the gate, no matter what's on the other side.

Engage unfriendly entities first, as much as they could kill before anything else, if the entities had intelligence, it'd be easier, letting the peak-state Tuoba Martial God intimidate them.

But this idea, Wen Yan only thought about it by himself, never voiced it out.

He felt he might have been too aggressive.

Until eight o'clock in the evening, it remained very quiet, no unusual situations were discovered here.

Wen Yan didn't know if he should be relieved, regretful, or vigilant.

...

In a suburban villa area of Xiao Xiang County City, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking up at the sky.

When she heard some noise, she suddenly turned her head, her pupils instantly expanded, covering the irises, turning her eyeballs pitch black.

The next moment, her eyes returned to normal, and she looked toward the kitchen in shock.

From there, half of the refrigerator was visible, and she saw the fridge door was open, a gray-yellow mouse carrying an egg slightly raised its head looking this way.

The big mouse seemed startled, the egg fell to the ground with a plop, then disappeared in a flash.

A minute later, a woman in loungewear came downstairs.

"What happened?"

The girl sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window pointed to the kitchen.

"Just now, a mouse with an egg dropped it on the ground."

The woman glanced at the egg on the kitchen floor and the slightly open fridge, she couldn't contain her laughter.

"Aren't you a bit too old to tell the fibs you used to as a kid?"

"Huh, did I say this as a kid?" The girl was a bit stunned.

"Something like that.

Once, you even picked your nose and smeared it on the wall as a mark of your height.

And you insisted that the highest point your hand could reach was your height.

Even when your hand didn't reach a meter high, you claimed it was taught by little elves.

You even blamed your dad…";

"Stop it…" The girl gasped in surprise, she didn't remember any of that.

"What? Are you going to blame it on a mouse now?"

"Alright, I did see a mouse and got startled."

"Well, technically that's true, the mouse did drop the egg." The woman said, originally intending to ask, are the mice real?

But it came out as.

"Should we borrow a cat?"

"Didn't you say cats these days don't chase mice?"

"They don't have to catch it, the mice would run off smelling a cat nearby."

...

The beige-yellow big mouse, after scurrying away, darted on short legs to a green grassy area, heading to a hidden cat den within the bush.

"Sang Biao, we've got to go, we hit a tough spot, something's off here, I sense great danger, you must've botched the reconnaissance, we need to run fast."

The Yellow Mouse dashed into the cat den, only to find the cat it was looking for wasn't there, its fur on end with fear, then it gritted its teeth and quickly pursued.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the girl sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, saw a cow-patterned cat with a raised tail walking along the wall, then it slightly lifted its head, sniffing the air as if catching a scent.

The cow-patterned cat jumped off the wall, heading straight indoors, seeing the girl, it immediately stopped, cautiously sidestepping.

The girl, seeing the cow-patterned cat, was pleasantly surprised, she lowered her voice and shouted inside the house.

"Mom, come look, a cow-patterned cat's here."

The girl slowly slid open the floor-to-ceiling window, squatting and rubbing her hands.

"Mimi, Mimi Mimi..."
