A week later, Yin Kai called for Phoebe. He and Gu Bing had agreed to stagger their exits.
"Phoebe, is there anything else I need to know before I head out?" Yin Kai asked.
The small faery quickly re-appeared. "Nothing for now, Master. You can call for me anytime using your connection with the Ancestral World."
"Alright, thanks." Yin Kai prepared to teleport himself out.
He had used his time the last week to study the various methods and operations of the ancestral world.
He could teleport people in and out. This ability was limited to the Ancestral World of Origin, as the inner worlds of cultivators started out as 'not solid' but rather 'illusory,' and they had to grow before one could move things in and out of their inner world.
For now, the ancestral world was fully separate from his inner world, but could be merged later in his cultivation.
As Yin Kai teleported out, he heard Phoebe's small voice echo around him. "Let me know if you need anything! You can use me! Any time you need!"
Nearly sputtering, he walked through the empty mining cave. He was wearing the brimmed hat and a pair of raggy pants to avoid suspicion.
As he walked out of the cave entrance, he was greeted with a friendly face. "Bu An!" He shouted, gesturing with his hands. The two hugged and beat each other's chests.
Bu An cupped his hands and let out a loud whistle.
The ground buckled as a large set of feet trampled down on the surrounding wilderness.
Suddenly, shining gold glistened in the afternoon sunlight as a collosal form broke through the towering trees.
Yin Kai smiled. "My friend!"
As he nuzzled the rhino's forehead, he turned to Bu An. "How has he been?"
"The lady had her mount brought over several times to keep him company." The man responded bluntly. "Speaking of the princess, she has requested your urgent presence as of six months ago."
"Hmmm. How long have I been in the inheritance space?"
"13 months."
"I see. In that case, I'll visit her first."
"I will shadow your visit, chief."
With a blur of shadow and light, the man named Bu An disappeared.
'So he's one of those…" Yin Kai thought silently.
He quickly changed into a pair of traveller's pants and a sleeveless top with wide armholes. Touching the brim of his floppy hat, he winked into the distance.
Hopping on the Golden Sanskrit Rhino, he yelled, "Git!" and pulled the studded reins.
The Rhino began to take off for the city.
As it reached the entrance to the bazaar, a small family looked on. As the Rhino passed, a little boy pulled on his mom's dress, saying, "Mommy, mommy, look at the monster!"
His little sister giggled. "Look at its butt."
As they passed through the city, the rhino slowed. 'This swagger truly is impressive.' Yin Kai thought to himself. Once they reached the river, he hired a ferryman to take him across.
Once they once again made landfall, he travelled through the rest of the city. He stopped by a noodle vendor. After paying, he began to eat the noodles out of a bowl as he travelled through the city.
Once he made it to the edge of the city, he urged the rhino forward once more. After throwing the bowl in an ostentatiously random direction, and simultaneously directly striking at a passing fox with maximum precision, Yin Kai continued along his way.
He went over hill, under dale, between the trees and up the mountain. As he reached a tall tree next to the mountain pass, he saw a short man with an annoyingly tall hairstyle step out.
"My name is Mo Nian, and I planted this tree!!" The man shouted in an obnoxiously high pitched voice. "Give me all your money, valuables, and jewelry, and I will let you sit under its shade and pass through this pass!"
"If you don't want to pay the toll, you don't have to, I'll take it from your granny when I show her your corpse!"
Yin Kai tapped the rhino's sides. It pawed the ground. "RHINO!"
The man named Mo Nian suffered a moment of speculation. After realizing what was about to happen, the poor fool began to run backwards.
"FUCK HIM UUUUUUP!!"
The rhino charged with its head low to the ground. As Mo Nian turned around to run, it slammed into Mo Nian's backside with soaring rip.
With a guttural, primal roar, the rhino clearly seemed to say the words, "OH, YEAH" as it launched the poor, sad, sorry bandit into the top of his very tall, very leafy, very much so public property, yet self-claimed possession.
