"Mountain Goddess, please save us! We haven't had a drop of rain here for a year and a half. The riverbeds are dry, the land is cracked, and the crops have failed completely. We really can't live like this..." Qin Mi pleaded with Wen Xi for help as if he had grasped at a straw.

Wen Xi was somewhat surprised. Had the sign-in system sent her to that most difficult period...?

"Should we find a place to talk this over properly? This desolate place isn't really a good place to discuss things, is it?" Wen Xi didn't agree immediately.

"Okay, let's go back." Qin Mi was very excited and quickly started the car, then drove Wen Xi away.

Along the way, all Wenxi saw was yellowish-brown soil, with no green vegetation at all. She hadn't expected the place to be so desolate.

Wen Xi was worried because her strength was limited; she couldn't help too many people, only a small portion.

Seeing Qin Mi frowning and driving with complete concentration, Wen Xi couldn't help but think of last night. Was Qin Mi also so focused when he drove her back to the brigade last night?

It was nighttime, and the road conditions were bad. Qin Mi was probably in this state of fear, probably because he was afraid of getting into trouble.

While Qin Mi wasn't paying attention, Wen Xi turned her back, packed some things into a rattan box, and then took the rattan box out. When Qin Mi noticed the rattan box on Wen Xi's leg, he completely believed that Wen Xi was the Mountain Goddess. Who but a deity could conjure things out of thin air?

After an unknown amount of time, the car finally drove into a large courtyard. However, the courtyard was built with mud bricks, and everything was a dull yellow, lifeless and devoid of any vitality. Wen Xi's brows furrowed tightly, indicating that the situation here was more serious than she had imagined.

As soon as Qin Mi parked the car, a middle-aged man walked over, his face full of anger. "Qin Mi, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now? Don't you know everyone has things to do?"

Wen Xi was somewhat surprised when she heard the name. She didn't expect that he was also named Qin Mi. Could he be the younger version of the Qin Mi who took her home last night?

If it really is Qin Mi, then the Qin Mi in front of her should be a minor, but the Qin Mi in front of her is a young man in his twenties, so the age doesn't match!

I can't figure it out.

Wenxi decided to give up!

"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, I'm going to pick up my fiancée." Qin Mi got out of the car, opened the passenger door, pulled Wen Xi out of the car, and winked at Wen Xi, "This is the deputy county head."

Wenxi is the Mountain Goddess. She has no identification or letter of introduction, so this is the only way for now.

Wen Xi didn't say much. Once the check-in system returned to normal, she could leave. So, pretending to be his fiancée for the time being was fine.

"Uncle Wang, hello, I'm here to help Qin Mi solve his problems." Wen Xi smiled at the deputy county head.

"What help can a little girl like you be? Go back quickly, don't hold us back." Uncle Wang was a little angry about Qin Mi's late return, and the fact that Qin Mi suddenly had a fiancée, which completely eliminated his daughter's chance, made him even angrier, so he naturally didn't give Wen Xi a good look.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, my fiancée will never hold anyone back. My fiancée must be tired from the long journey, I'll take her back to rest first." Qin Mi didn't care whether Uncle Wang was angry or not, took Wen Xi's hand and turned to leave with her.

They only have a working relationship, nothing more, and Uncle Wang can't interfere with him.

Qin Mi took out his key, opened the dormitory door, led Wen Xi inside, and then closed the door again. "Mountain Goddess, that's my kang (heated brick bed). If you don't mind, you can rest on the kang for a while."

I don't know when she found out last night. She sat in the car for so long, she must have felt uncomfortable all over.

"Okay." Wen Xi carried the wicker trunk over, put it aside, took off her shoes and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed), then patted the table on the kang. "Come sit down too, I have something to say."

Qin Mi hurriedly sat down opposite Wen Xi, looking at her expectantly, "Mountain Goddess, what are your orders?"

"Don't call me Mountain Goddess, just call me Liangliang," Wenxi said. She thought it wouldn't be appropriate to engage in feudal superstitions at this time. If Qin Mi called her 'Mountain Goddess' and someone heard it, they'd both be in trouble.

"Your Majesty?" Qin Mi looked at Wen Xi with a puzzled expression.

Wen Xi emphasized, "The 'cool' in 'cool,' understand?"

Qin Mi nodded obediently, "I understand."

Although I don't believe in gods or immortals, now that they've truly become powerful, I still have a sense of awe for them.

“I just heard Uncle Wang call you Qin Mi, so I’ll call you Qin Mi from now on,” Wen Xi said as she opened the wicker trunk and tidied up her things.

Qin Mi: "Okay."

"Qin Mi, although I am the Mountain Goddess, my abilities are limited and I cannot help everyone. Moreover, everyone has their own destiny. If I interfere, it will backfire on me, so please don't blame me." Wen Xi decided to make things clear so that Qin Mi wouldn't hold a grudge against her for not helping many people.

"Also, if you want my help, you'll have to pay a price," Wen Xi said seriously to Qin Mi.

"Liangliang, just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to do it if I can," Qin Mi said earnestly.

Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Stamps, Big Black Ten, gold, and jade—the more of these four things, the better. These things will help my cultivation, and perhaps I can come back here again in the future!"

Back then, the supplies Lin Yiwan gave her were obtained by exchanging many treasures, so it's only right that Qin Mi bring treasures to her to exchange for supplies now.

"Okay, Liangliang, I will do my best to collect as much stuff as possible for you. Now I have to go out to work. You should get some rest!"

After Qin Mi left, Wen Xi locked the dormitory door from the inside and then went back to the kang (a heated brick bed) to rest. She was only human, not a real immortal, and she would get tired too. She had helped out at Qin Mi's house all day yesterday and then came to this place last night, spending the night in the car. She felt uncomfortable all over.

Hearing a knock on the door in a daze, Wenxi opened her eyes unhappily, sat up from the kang (a heated brick bed), and looked at the room full of yellow earth, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Where is this?

After a while, she realized that she had been brought here by that damned system and couldn't go back for the time being. She could only live here for a while and wait for the opportunity to return.

I wonder if Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue will find out she's missing, and if they will look for her. If they can't find her, will they consider her dead or deceased?

And what about He Chen'an? If he doesn't receive a reply from her, will he rush to the countryside to look for her?
