When Ye Qiu heard that the old clan chief wanted to introduce him to a marriage, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Old clan chief, I am still young and do not want to get married so early. Let's do it later. When I want to settle down, I will ask the old clan chief to introduce me to a family. What do you think?"
"This is fine too," the old clan chief said with a smile. "But from now on, you should get closer to Ake. Ake saved you, and the relationship between you two is definitely unmatched by anyone else, right?"
"Uh, cough, the old clan chief is right, I'll try my best." Ye Qiu chuckled dryly.
"Haha, that's good. Then get some rest tonight. If you want to leave tomorrow, I'll have Ake escort you out of the village."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Elder Chief."
...
The next day, Ye Qiu got up early in the morning and couldn't wait to wake Meng Ke, who was still fast asleep.
Meng Ke sat up, rubbed her hair, and looked utterly dejected: "What do you want? Why did you wake me up before dawn?"
"Ake, before everyone gets up, why don't you see me out of the village? Otherwise, it'll look like a farewell party after everyone's up, which I don't like," Ye Qiu said.
"Pah, who cares about seeing you off? Get out of here."
Aren't you going to take me home?
"Then you have to let me get dressed first, right? Am I supposed to send you off naked?" Meng Ke said through gritted teeth.
"Uh, sorry, I'll wait for you outside."
Ye Qiu turned and went out.
Half an hour later, Meng Ke finally got ready and went out.
Ye Qiu noticed that she was wearing light makeup and looked pretty and charming.
"It's beautiful," Ye Qiu praised without reservation.
"I know it myself, come with me."
Meng Ke led the way.
From an angle that Ye Qiu couldn't see, Meng Ke's lips curved into a beautiful smile.
She found herself really liking Ye Qiu's praise.
About ten minutes later, Meng Ke led Ye Qiu through a small door.
Behind the small door was a glowing tunnel, winding and covered with runes.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Ye Qiu saw a transparent wall appear in front of him, beyond which stretched an endless sea.
"I was wondering why I needed someone to guide me out of the village. Turns out there was another reason. Ake, thank you for leading the way. I'll take my leave now."
Ye Qiu turned around and smiled at Meng Ke.
Meng Ke didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
Ye Qiu felt awkward and turned to leave.
But Ye Qiu had only taken a few steps when Meng Ke suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Ye Qiu turned around.
Meng Ke stepped forward and took off a dark red bracelet from her wrist: "Raise your hand."
What are you going to do?
Ye Qiu was puzzled, but still raised his hand.
Meng Ke quickly tied the bracelet on Ye Qiu's wrist, making a special knot, and said, "This is for you. If I see you next time and find that you're not wearing the bracelet or that you've taken it off, you're dead."
"What will you do to me?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Hehe, I have a secret method that can make a man forever unable to be a man. Even a saint cannot escape this secret method. If you want to try it, then feel free to disobey me," Meng Ke threatened.
Ye Qiu felt a chill somewhere and hurriedly said, "Ake, what if I get into a fight and accidentally hurt this bracelet?"
"I don't care, you have to protect it."
"Then why did you give me this bracelet? Is it a token of our love?" Ye Qiu pressed.
"Oh dear, you ask so many questions. You should just leave now." Meng Ke pushed Ye Qiu out.
"Okay, I'll go now, I'll come see you again later."
Ye Qiu waved his hand, turned around, and walked out of the transparent wall.
Meng Ke watched Ye Qiu's retreating figure and stood there for a very long time.
...
Outside, Ye Qiu walked several hundred meters before realizing that he was actually on a mountain.
When he looked back, all he saw were cliffs and precipices, and below them, the vast sea; there was no ancient village of the underworld at all.
Ye Qiu then realized that the entire Minghai Ancient Village was hidden by an unparalleled magic array, making it impossible to see or sense from the outside.
Looking down at the path leading down the mountain, overgrown with thorns, Ye Qiu felt momentarily disoriented.
He suddenly remembered that the path he took down Zulong Mountain was not much different from the path he took now.
Everything is like a cycle!
"A new world has arrived, and I, Ye Qiu, have come."
Ye Qiu took a deep breath, stopped lingering, and ran down the mountain.
About half an hour later, Ye Qiu arrived at a wide avenue. Cars were constantly speeding by on this extremely wide road.
"A highway? It seems that this place and the other side of Blue Star are indeed connected." Ye Qiu stood by the roadside, lost in thought, with a feeling of returning to Great Xia.
But this is just an illusion.
It's important to know that Ye Qiu faced countless dangers to reach the Other Shore World.
After calming himself down, Ye Qiu reached out to flag down a car.
After trying to stop a car more than ten times, they finally managed to flag down a black sedan.
When the car window rolled down, Ye Qiu was stunned and incredulous when he saw the driver's appearance.
Because the driver had a human body but a husky head, with round eyes staring at Ye Qiu: "What are you staring at? If you want to leave, get in the car quickly. I have important things to do and don't have time to waste with you."
"Brother Erha, let me make this clear beforehand: I don't have any money to pay your fare. How about you give me a ride for free?"
"Alright, alright, I'll give you a free ride since you look so pitiful. Get on."
"Okay, thank you." Ye Qiu opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
A loud, aggressive DJ was playing music inside the car.
The driver, staring at the husky's head, stepped on the gas and continued on his way.
Ye Qiu kept staring at it, making it uncomfortable. It couldn't help but bark twice: "What are you looking at me for, you little brat? I'm warning you, I'm straight and have no interest in you."
"Don't get me wrong, Brother Husky, I'm just curious, you... your kind of people can actually drive?"
"Damn it, you're being racist? Get out, get off me!" The husky driver slammed on the brakes and rudely kicked the man out.
No matter how much Ye Qiu pleaded, it refused to take Ye Qiu along anymore.
Left with no other choice, Ye Qiu drew his Immortal-Slaying Sword and held it to the neck of the husky driver: "Drive."
"Uh, cough cough, brother, I was just joking, don't be silly."
"Stop talking nonsense. Now I'll ask you questions and you answer them, okay?"
"It can be done, it absolutely can be done."
"Okay, I'll ask you, what country is this?"
"Huh? Brother, you don't look sick." The husky driver stared at Ye Qiu with a suspicious look.
Ye Qiu frowned, and just as he was about to threaten the driver of the husky, the car suddenly shook violently, then took off and rolled, crashing into the roadside guardrail before coming to a stop, emitting black smoke.
Ahead, a white sports car also rolled several times and was smashed to pieces.
"Damn it, we rear-ended someone."
The husky driver climbed out of the car unharmed, head drooping, looking utterly hopeless.
A disheveled woman crawled out of the white car ahead, her face blackened by thick smoke.
