"good."
Ye Qiu took a deep breath and was about to rush out with Zhao Ling'er when the power of the Bitter Sea surged from behind the icy path, instantly engulfing the area.
Ye Qiu and Zhao Ling'er were separated on the spot, and both of them immediately fainted and lost consciousness.
...
When Ye Qiu woke up, he found himself in an extremely simple room.
"They're out of danger?"
Ye Qiu sat up abruptly. Before he could think any further, he sensed that his magical power was almost completely drained, as if it had been sucked dry by something.
This alarmed Ye Qiu, who hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to absorb spiritual energy. Only after finding that everything was normal did Ye Qiu breathe a sigh of relief.
“Girl, the villagers all say that person was washed out of the Nether Sea, he’s not a normal person, and it’s very unlucky. Why don’t we just hand him over to the clan chief and let’s not cause any trouble? What do you think?”
Just then, voices came from outside the door.
Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that I am already in the other world?
“Mother, the person lying in the house is clearly a normal person. What’s so unlucky about him? We can’t just leave him to die. Once he’s better, we can let him leave. Why kill him?” A very pleasant voice followed.
“You child, what kind of place is the Nether Sea? It’s a forbidden land of life, and legend has it that it is connected to the Sea of Bitterness. How could a normal person possibly come out of the Nether Sea? Don’t make a big mistake because of a moment of kindness.”
"I don't care, I just can't stand by and watch a life be lost." The girl said very seriously.
"You said you..."
"Cough cough..."
Ye Qiu coughed twice at the opportune moment.
Upon hearing the cough, the girl hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw a girl with a ponytail carrying a bowl of medicinal soup as she walked in.
The girl had delicate features, fair skin, and her clothes were similar to those on Earth, very modern.
"You're awake! Drink your medicine now." The girl handed over the medicine.
Ye Qiu waved his hand and laughed, "No need to drink anymore, I'm almost better now. By the way, have I been a bother to you here? Sister, I'll leave right away, I definitely won't cause you any trouble."
"It seems you overheard our conversation." The girl pressed Ye Qiu down and said seriously, "You don't need to be afraid of anything. With me here, no one will dare to hurt you, not even the clan leader. Just focus on recovering. It's not too late to leave after you've fully recovered."
"But..."
"Stop being so fussy. If I tell you to stay, then stay. If you keep being so polite, I'll get angry. By the way, my name is Meng Ke. What's yours?"
"Ye Qiu".
"Okay, I've remembered. Drink your medicine." Meng Ke served the medicine again.
"I really don't need to take medicine..."
Meng Ke frowned, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Drink the medicine."
"Alright."
Ye Qiu, feeling both amused and exasperated, finished the bowl of medicinal soup in one gulp.
The medicine entered the mouth and immediately transformed into a pure energy that circulated throughout the body.
Ye Qiu then realized that this bowl of medicine was extraordinary, made from genuine spiritual herbs.
'It seems this world truly is a golden age for cultivation.'
Ye Qiu thought to himself.
Seeing that Ye Qiu had finished drinking the medicine, Meng Ke smiled and said, "Now that you're awake, get up and I'll show you around."
"Wait a minute." Ye Qiu stared at Meng Ke: "Sister, besides me, did you save anyone else?"
"Others? You mean?"
“A girl named Zhao Ling’er, about your age.”
"No," Meng Ke shook her head and said, "We only saw you, there was no one else."
"knew."
Ye Qiu sighed inwardly.
Could it be that Zhao Ling'er also died in the Divine Transformation Pool?
"What? This woman named Zhao Ling'er is your girlfriend?" Meng Ke stared at Ye Qiu.
"No," Ye Qiu said, "we're friends."
"They're probably dead by now. Almost no one can come out of the Nether Sea alive. It's a miracle you're still alive. Don't think about anything else," Meng Ke said.
"Too..."
Ye Qiu didn't say much, got up, and went out with Meng Ke.
Meng Ke took Ye Qiu for a walk in the village.
The village is very old, and the houses are built in a distinctive style, resembling miniature black palaces.
What surprised Ye Qiu even more was that he sensed a devouring array in the village, which drew in the surrounding spiritual energy and concentrated it within the village.
"Cute girl, is your village one of those secluded, otherworldly villages?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"How do you know?" Meng Ke said, "Most people in our village don't engage with the world, but every ten years we send one person out to travel the world and learn about it."
"If I enter your village and learn many things about it, will I be killed to silence me?"
“The clan chief does have that idea, but don’t worry, I will protect you. I am the most powerful person in our village. In two more years, I will be able to enter the world.” Meng Ke said with a smile.
"Hehe, if you insist on letting an outsider stay in the village to recuperate, your quota for representing the village in worldly affairs will probably be canceled."
A cold laugh suddenly rang out.
Ye Qiu turned his head and saw an elderly man with white hair walking towards him, leaning on a cane.
The old man did not come alone; he was followed by dozens of people, including men, women, and children.
“Grandpa Clan Chief, this person isn’t a bad person. You can trust me, he definitely won’t harm us,” Meng Ke said hurriedly.
