Lin Xue bought a lot of things from the goblin merchant. She didn't have any gold coins on her, so she used gold to exchange for everything.

In addition to the magic broom, I also bought a lot of materials for making magic potions.

After all, magic potions were ridiculously expensive at the goblin merchant's place, but she could accept the price of the materials.

Although she prides herself on being wealthy, she still maintains a frugal and thrifty mindset, saving every penny she can.

Having bought what she needed, Lin Xue didn't immediately ride away on her magic broom. Instead, she continued riding her horse, stopping and starting along the way to enjoy the scenery.

"Why do you think it rolls its feces into balls?"

On a grassy field, two druids were having a quiet discussion.

Before them was a dung beetle pushing a ball of dung forward.

“My dear brother, how could you ask such a foolish question? Its name is dung beetle. How can it carry its poop home if it doesn't roll it into a ball?”

Hearing his older brother's hopelessly stupid question, the druid brother seemed quite helpless.

Sure enough, he's the smartest one in the family; at least he wouldn't ask such a silly question.

"Then why doesn't it roll the dung ball into a square, or a triangle, or even a hexagon if necessary? Wouldn't that be more interesting?"

The older Druid was indignant after being mocked by his younger brother.

He put his hands on his hips and pointed to a pile of cow dung on the ground, and a dung beetle rolling dung balls out of it.

Why should dung beetles have to roll their dung balls into larger balls?

Why can't it be rolled into a square?

"Oh, my silly brother!"

Have you ever seen a square wheel in this world?

"Dung beetles roll their dung into balls because they like round dung balls!"

Seeing that his older brother still hadn't figured out the problem, the younger druid slapped his forehead hard. How could he have such a foolish older brother?

"Then why doesn't it like other shapes? Isn't the shape of a heart prettier?"

The older druid made a heart shape with his hands in front of him, while the younger brother rested his chin on his hand and thought about it carefully, seemingly finding the shape of a heart more beautiful than a sphere.

"Who says it doesn't want to roll the dung ball into the shape of a heart? Maybe it's thinking about rolling the dung ball into the shape of a heart, but in reality, it can't do it at all!"

"Just like how my brother always spills half of his water when he drinks it."

"My brother will never be able to drink water without spilling it!"

The younger druid thought his older brother's words made some sense, but he couldn't admit that his brother was right, as that would make him seem stupid.

"Are we talking about my drinking water right now? We're clearly discussing this dung ball..."

As Lin Xue rode past them on horseback, she overheard the two druid brothers discussing something.

She didn't want to get involved in this boring conversation, but just as she was about to pass the two druids, she was spotted by them.

"Who are you?"

"This is our Druid territory; you cannot go there!"

Upon seeing a stranger, the two brothers stopped discussing the dung ball and instead focused their attention on Lin Xue.

"I think it's because dung beetles are round, so the dung balls they roll are round too. Don't believe me? Take a closer look."

Realizing he had been discovered, he could only point to the dung beetle on the ground and change the subject.

Are dung beetles round?

The druid brother curiously lowered his head to carefully observe the small figure that was constantly crawling.

"It really does look round. Does that mean that dung beetles roll dung balls in a round shape because they are actually round?"

The druid brother also turned his gaze to the ground once again.

Lin Xue then rode away from the scene quickly on horseback.

She only knew that druids were ugly, but she never expected them to be so stubborn.

That's probably the intelligence of a five or six-year-old child.

How did they manage to survive in this world?

When the two brothers looked up again, Lin Xue had already disappeared.

Since they didn't see anyone, they assumed the witch had already gone back and had no intention of investigating.

"Phew~"

"Finally out of the druids' territory. Those guys are too difficult to talk to. I almost got caught by them just now."

After leaving the two druid brothers guarding the gate, they hadn't gone far when they encountered another patrol of druids.

These people weren't as easily fooled as the previous two. Without saying a word, they picked up their weapons and charged towards Lin Xue.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, his horse's hind legs would probably have been chopped off by the goblins.

Moreover, the druids' territory was vast, and their numbers grew as they pursued, while Lin Xue's horses ran slower and slower.

Fortunately, they escaped from the druid's territory before being caught.

Those ugly creatures, seeing her leave their territory, did not pursue her further, but instead continued to patrol around with their weapons.

Lin Xue dismounted and led the horse forward, glancing at the sky every now and then.

A crescent moon had already hung in the sky, echoing the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Host, there seems to be a house up ahead. Would you like to stay there for the night?"

Seeing that its host had not yet found a place to spend the night, the system had no choice but to kindly help her scout out the surrounding area.

"Thank you so much, Tongzi! Love you, mwah!"

Seeing that there was a place to stay for the night, Lin Xue quickened her pace and led her horse to the outside of a small wooden house.

Is anyone home?

"I'm just passing through here. I wonder if I could stay here for the night?"

Lin Xue stood outside the fence, peeked inside, and then asked loudly.

Are you alone?

A strong man came out of the house, looked Lin Xue up and down, and then glanced at the horses behind her.

"Yes, it's just me!"

"I can offer some payment, but I wonder if I could stay here for the night?"

You should know that the magical continent is very unsafe at night. Whenever darkness falls, some unknown things will come out.

But they never disturbed people with houses; they only bothered passersby who slept on the streets.

"If you can produce a single silver coin, I'll let you stay overnight at my house!"

The man glanced at the sky, then at Lin Xue, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Thank you so much!"

Lin Xue took out a silver coin from her pocket; she had exchanged these in the small town.

"Come in, you can put the horse in the stable!"

"Besides my wife and children, there is also an elderly person at home, so please try not to make too much noise!"

The man led Lin Xue to put the horses in the stable, where there were two more horses, a cow, and several sheep.

After the man put the horse inside, he fed the animals some hay before taking Lin Xue back to the house.
