Xiao Douzi felt a mix of emotions. He remembered the little girl from that year; she was so adorable. How could she have changed so much in the blink of an eye?

And he looks...quite honest.

The worm could immediately hide inside the body once it entered the mouth, so why didn't it enter Ma Hehua's body?

This is a question worth pondering.

"Little Bean, we've come all this way, and this is how you treat us? That's really not fair," Ma Linghua said angrily.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll have Yunzhi drive away the Gu worms right away. The food is still edible!" Little Bean was anxious.

We can't let Aunt Ma be unhappy, otherwise what if she doesn't come to help them if something really happens in the future?

Soon, Yunzhi took out a whistle from her waist and blew it, making a series of "whoosh" sounds.

"Grandma, don't worry, it's clean. The insects are all-natural and pollution-free, and they're not poisonous," Little Bean assured her, patting her chest.

"Non-toxic? What the hell? Do you think I don't know how poisonous this Gu worm is? Forget it! I'm not eating it. Now take us to see that zombie's grave so I can finish this and go home as soon as possible." Ma Linghua's gaze was deep, and what she was really thinking about was the relic in the bag, which she would take out and examine carefully when she got home.

"Mother, so many good dishes, wouldn't it be a waste not to eat them?" Ma Hehua looked on with regret, but didn't touch her chopsticks.

Xiao Douzi's eyes flickered slightly. Since the others weren't going to eat, he had no choice but to take them on their way.

The sky was overcast, and there wasn't much mud on the ground. Everywhere there were stone-paved roads, and most of the villages in the Miao Mountains were located in mountainous forests.

Yunzhi watched the group leave, then looked at the table full of delicious food, and sighed. She was hungry and decided to eat some herself; she was least afraid of poison.

When the steamer was opened, good heavens, it was completely empty. It was the only food that hadn't been scared away by the worms.

The three stone-paved paths looked strangely familiar to Ma Hehua and her friends; it seemed like they had been here before!

Led by Xiaodouzi, the group arrived at the cemetery. The cemetery was not very nice, surrounded by lush branches and thick trees.

As soon as the group arrived, Ma Hehua reacted quickly, pressing Xiaodouzi down firmly.

"You beast, show your true form now!" Ma Hehua roared!

"Help, help, don't... don't hurt me," Little Bean cried out in a low, hoarse voice.

This startled Zhang Xiaomo and the others. "What... what's going on?" He looked at his aunt and her two companions, completely bewildered.

"Hmph! If it weren't for a meal, we wouldn't have let you jump around for so long!" Ma Hehua said disdainfully.

Fake Little Bean; "……………………"

Is a meal really that important?

“Tell me! What did you really do to Xiaodouzi?” Ma Linghua’s face was somewhat gloomy.

"No...nothing much, I just put him in my hole." This time, the fake little bean stopped pretending.

“A few days ago I saw that old fellow always wandering along the path, returning to the village very late. So I tricked him, and he said he was waiting for Granny Ma, and that she was a pretty skilled person. I’m about to break through to a higher level, and I was thinking, maybe I can eat you all to help me break through.” Fake Bean had no choice but to speak up! This woman was choking him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Zhang Xiaomo immediately broke out in a cold sweat. My God! This is too damn dangerous. If we don't notice this, it's only a matter of time before we get ambushed.

"That's good. You have great ideas and a very good eye," Ma Linghua praised him.

"Too bad, in our eyes you're just a grasshopper, you can't jump around." Then she added insult to injury.

"Mom, why is this mandrill different from the ones in our Black Mountain?" Ma Hehua asked curiously.

“What’s different?” Ma Linghua glanced at it.

"Its butt is bigger than ours from Heishan, and its cheeks are redder than ours from Heishan, and its tail is longer than ours from Heishan too. Tsk tsk tsk! It's too fat." Ma Hehua gave it a rating.

Mandrill; "……………………"

Are you being polite? This is for my health, do you even understand what health is?

Ma Lihua also took a look and indeed found it rather plump, looking much rounder than the women from Heishan.

"Hey! The spirits on this tea mountain are all just like that good-for-nothing. If they were in our Black Mountain, they would definitely be someone else's meal." Ma Linghua looked at the fake little bean with disdain.

The group followed him to a dark and damp cave, where there were many offerings and a stone statue.

This familiar scene, this familiar setting, this familiar stone statue.

"This... could it be the Falling Flower Cave?" Ma Hehua asked, looking at the mountain demon.

"Yes! It's Falling Flower Cave, but these foolish villagers are worshipping me." The mandrill smiled smugly.

"Clap clap clap!"

He was greeted with three slaps from Ma Hehua.

Zhang Xiaomo; "………………"

The old Taoist priest: "………………"

"Laughing? Are you laughing? I get furious the moment I see Falling Flower Cave." Without another word, she grabbed the mountain demon and unleashed a flurry of Pegasus Meteor Fists.

"Alright, alright! Let's find Xiaodouzi first." Ma Linghua still felt that rescuing Xiaodouzi was the priority, otherwise who would give her the money!

She found it strange that the little bean didn't hand over the money to her immediately after arriving, and it took so long. She didn't expect that this fake person couldn't produce the money.

"If anything happens to Xiaodouzi, you can step in!"

"Huh... what does that mean?" The mandrill was a little confused.
