"Yes!" Ye Xianya nodded: "Since the beginning of this month, one person has been dying in Bailu Village every one or two days. So far, thirteen people have died. The villagers are in a state of panic. People from the Taoist sect and the government have been there, but they have no clue. They came to me for help, and I have already agreed to go and help them take a look later."

"I'll go with you!" Qi Chengshuo said quickly.

Anyway, he didn't plan to cultivate these next few days, so he might as well spend more time with Ye Xianya.

"Alright!" Ye Xianya nodded and told Zhengzheng to go back to the palace and tell her mother that she would not be going home for dinner today.

Just then, Lan Chenyin's voice echoed in Qi Chengshuo's mind.

“Son, I asked you to give this little girl the cultivation method to become a god so that she could focus on her cultivation and not waste her time on these insignificant mortals. But instead, you want to accompany her to deal with those trivial matters. It’s such a waste of time!”

Qi Chengshuo clenched his fist tightly.

This woman is watching him all the time. No matter what he does, she has to interfere, which really annoys him.

Qi Chengshuo has been working hard to cultivate these days not only to protect Ye Xianya and his grandfather and mother, but also to get rid of Lan Chenyin's surveillance.

It feels terrible to have everything under someone else's control.

This woman, who claimed to be his mother, treated him like her own possession, watching him every moment, a feeling that was truly suffocating.

Qi Chengshuo ignored her and took Ye Xianya to Bailu Village.

A moment after they left, Lan Chenyin appeared in Ye Xianya's fortune-telling courtyard, her face somewhat grim: "That brat, he really won't listen to advice."

Time is running out for the mother and son. Only if her son returns to his divine position soon can she get everything she wants.

We can't let Yunluo and her three little bastards take advantage of us.

The throne of the God-King must never fall into the hands of Yunluo's bastard child.

That belongs to her son, Shuo'er; no one can take it away from him.

Unfortunately, his son was a man who was content with his lot in his previous life, simply guarding this little world and being its master.

That's why I, as his mother, have to push him a little.

She killed him only to force that unfaithful man to hand over the treasure to save her son and help him improve his strength.

Everything she did was for her son's good.

When her son becomes the God-King who rules the Great World, he will be grateful to his mother for helping him plan.

If it weren't for the fact that this brat had only fallen in love once in ten thousand years, she would have really wanted to kill Ye Xianya to prevent future troubles.

...

In Bailu Village, the village head and several villagers had just returned.

The villagers were relieved to hear that Ye Xianya would come in person to help them with the matter.

"The princess is extremely capable, far surpassing those Taoist priests. She will surely find out the cause of these people's deaths, catch the demons and monsters behind the trouble, and protect our safety. In this way, we will not have to leave our homes. Fellow villagers, once you leave the village, you will become refugees. It will take decades or even centuries before you can settle down in another place. If you are not careful, you will die on the way. We cannot leave the village unless absolutely necessary..." the village head said loudly.

"Village head, when will the princess arrive?" someone asked.

"The princess said she'll come after she finishes telling fortunes for others, so she should be here soon. I'll go back and prepare tea to welcome the princess," the village headman said loudly.

This Egret Village is different from the neighboring Zhangjia Village and Chenjia Village.

The people in Bailu Village have several surnames, and they are not as united as those villages with only one surname. However, when something big happens, everyone is of one mind.

Hearing what the village head said, everyone quickly went back into their houses and brought out all their good things, some giving tea leaves, others giving walnuts and peanuts.

We're just waiting for Ye Xianya to arrive.

As soon as Ye Xianya entered Bailu Village, she sensed something was amiss: "There's an evil aura in this village!"

“That’s right!” Qi Chengshuo nodded: “The source of the evil energy is in that cave in the back mountain.”

Ye Xianya's expression was somewhat complicated upon hearing this: "You are different from us cultivators. I did not sense any fluctuations of spiritual energy on you, nor did I sense your divine sense being released. Originally, your strength was only in your physical body, but now you can sense evil energy. You truly deserve to be a reincarnation from the upper realm."

Qi Chengshuo laughed upon hearing this: "Don't forget, Lan Chenyin said that I am the master of this world. Perhaps that's why I can perceive all of this."

"Alright." Ye Xianya winked at him. "Master, let's go check out the cave in the back mountain now!"

Qi Chengshuo was amused by her: "Okay, whatever you say."

Lan Chenyin, who was in the Duanwang Mansion, kept releasing her original spirit to follow Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo.

However, her original spirit was very powerful, and she used a secret technique to hide it, so Ye Xianya and the others did not discover it.

Hearing her son say that he listens to this little girl in everything, Lan Chenyin clenched her fists in anger.

They're really alike; once they give their hearts, they become like they're possessed.

That unfaithful man treated Yunluo this way, and his son treated Ye Xianya the same way.

Then what is she?

This brat, who always defied her, yet obeyed every word of a mere mortal woman, infuriated her.

Lan Chenyin felt very uncomfortable.

However, she also knew how stubborn her son was.

If she really goes after Ye Xianya, her son will probably not forgive her when he becomes the God King.

What you can't have is always the best.

She hadn't forgotten how that heartless man went to rescue Yunluo after she sent her to the Netherworld.

From then on, the couple broke up completely, and the unfaithful man married Yunluo.

She's already learned her lesson, so of course she has to be careful.

It's normal for a son to fall for this little vixen since he has no memories of his past life. After all, Ye Xianya is probably the strongest woman in this world, and she's also very beautiful, which is indeed very attractive to men, especially a man like my son, who wouldn't be attracted to an ordinary woman.

But compared to the women of the upper realm, Ye Xianya is quite ordinary.

The son was simply trapped in this small world, with no other choice.

Once his son returns to his divine position and regains his memories of his past life, and with so many beautiful goddesses in the world, he certainly won't care too much about this little girl.

After figuring it out, Lan Chenyin initially wanted to withdraw her primordial spirit to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed, but in the end she held back.

What if my son gets into danger?

Qi Chengshuo knew that Lan Chenyin would definitely try her best to monitor him, but he was too lazy to pay attention to her and went to the back mountain with Ye Xianya.

The mountain behind Bailu Village is neither large nor high. The villagers have cultivated the land below the mountainside for farming, while the land above the mountainside has retained its original appearance and is lush and green in spring and summer.
