Wu Hua grew increasingly frightened, clinging tightly to Qin Luo's arm and refusing to let go.
"Luo Luo, let's go back to Qixia Village quickly! This place is too scary!"
Qin Luo hugged it tightly, then tossed an apple to Ejiao, hoping it would run back to Qixia Village before dark.
Ejiao chewed the apple in one gulp and swallowed it, then ran with all his might towards Qixia Village.
Throughout the journey, Wu Hua recounted the events that had occurred here.
"Luo Luo, this is where you met Xiao Yu!"
After a while, she said again, "Luo Luo, this is where I knocked Qin Yunyuan unconscious!"
It spoke excitedly, and Qin Luo occasionally chimed in with a word or two.
Before sunset, the two arrived at Qixia Village, which was just as dilapidated.
Ejiao led them directly to the Qin Clan Ancestral Hall, where the lock on the main gate was already rusted.
Qin Luo easily tugged at it, and the two walked into the ancestral hall, feeling as if time had flown by.
They first came into this world here.
More than a year had passed in the blink of an eye. The two wandered around for a while, sighed a bit, and then took the donkey-hide gelatin back to their space.
Since Titi left, Tengteng has become even more lonely.
It lay by the riverbank of the River of Life all day, chatting with the little bird eggs, but received no response.
Qin Luo felt a pang of sadness just looking at it.
"Little one, when can Tengteng transform into human form?"
Wu Hua spread her small hands.
"I don't know. When I transformed, it underwent a baptism. Logically, given its level of mutation, it should be able to transform, but all its previous essence was used to nourish Su Junli! I don't know how long it will take to recover!"
Qin Luo felt even more heartbroken upon hearing this.
"Since there's no one around on the roads lately, let's take Tengteng with us!"
Wu Hua raised her hand in agreement: "Great! I've wanted to do this for a long time!"
Tengteng was overjoyed to hear their conversation.
"Great! We can go out without fighting or doing chores! Yay!"
Ever since Qin Luo activated the Xiangyun Translator, she has been hearing all sorts of strange noises, which are giving her a headache!
It was only after Wu Hua taught her how to block it that she gradually got used to it.
Therefore, she decided that from now on, in addition to selectively listening to the plants and animals within the space, she would also selectively listen to the outside world.
The two ate a quick dinner and then went to rest, preparing to set off for Luoyun Deep Mountain early the next morning.
Tengteng was so excited she couldn't sleep. One moment she was lying on the ground talking to the little sprouts, the next she was diving into the river to chat with the little bird eggs.
Even though it was speaking to a mute, it still kept muttering to itself with great enthusiasm.
"You don't know, do you! Luo Luo is taking me out tomorrow, and not just for a short while! It's for many days!"
If the little bird and the little sprout could talk, they would definitely curse at it.
Whose vines are up all night, disturbing the birds and trees?
The next morning, Qin Luo prepared breakfast, picked up Wu Hua, tidied her up, and fed her.
Taking Tengteng with him, Qin Luo wiped down the dusty altar and memorial tablets.
Fresh offerings of fruit were then laid out, and finally, three kowtows were performed.
He then took a new lock, locked the ancestral hall door, and left.
The vines were wrapped around Qin Luo's waist; to the uninitiated, they looked like a soft whip.
Wu Hua held Qin Luo's hand and walked step by step towards Luoyun Mountain.
As soon as we stepped onto the outskirts of Luoyun Mountain, we heard a whooshing sound.
Qin Luo used vines to climb the big tree and swung towards the deep mountains, while Wu Hua transformed into wings and flew beside her.
Before long, they reached the edge of the deep mountains, where the mountain lord and the tiger pack were already waiting.
They enthusiastically circled around Qin Luo and Wu Hua, and Qin Luo patted each of their heads.
While the tiger wasn't looking, Teng Teng secretly used her vines to move a couple of times.
Then Shan Jun carried Qin Luo and headed into the deep mountains...
The mountains are still as beautiful as ever, and there are more small animals now that the drought is over.
Wildflowers bloom everywhere, butterflies flutter about, and occasionally a few squirrels dart among the treetops.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua followed Shan Jun around. Qin Luo looked at the melon vines on the ground that hadn't yet withered, and recalled the scene of leaving the melons there.
As she guessed, the tiger pack had already been enjoying the fruits of their labor!
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Wu Hua looked at her with an expression as if she were an idiot.
"The mountain god said this place is deserted, how can you still laugh?"
Qin Luo was preoccupied with the melon and didn't hear what the two beasts were saying at all.
She quickly apologized and then used the auspicious cloud translator to communicate with the mountain king.
"Sorry, I was just spacing out. What happens if my popularity drops? Will it have any impact?"
The mountain god thought for a moment and said, "It won't have much of an impact, but the local earth god might perish!"
Qin Luo recalled the small earth god temple at the entrance of the village.
"Why? Can't you be a god somewhere else?"
Wu Hua knew she wouldn't understand, so she explained it to her.
"Of course not. Gods and deities are all born from the human heart. Gods protect humanity, and humanity provides them with sustenance. It is a mutually beneficial relationship. If people are gone, the gods will not receive offerings and faith, and will naturally perish!"
"Then what should we do?"
Wu Hua sighed helplessly.
"There's no way around it unless someone comes back here and starts offerings again!"
Qin Luo was also filled with emotion upon hearing this.
"Everyone believes that gods are born in the Nine Heavens, noble and inviolable, but no one ever thought that killing a god would be so easy!"
The mountain king also felt very sorry.
"The birth of a god takes millions of years, but the fall of a god takes only a few years!"
The moment it said that, the atmosphere turned somber.
Qin Luo stroked its fur to comfort it.
"The fall is only temporary. When humanity returns, the gods will return as well! It's only a matter of time!"
The mountain king found this very reasonable and was no longer sad or upset. He then led the two of them on a further stroll.
The girl, the beast, and the vine played wildly in the mountains for three days, during which time the mountain king led them to a coal mine.
The mountain lords disliked the coal because it would soil their fur; if Qin Luo wanted it, he could take it away.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua exchanged a glance, and both thought to themselves, "There's no reason not to take advantage of something that's already within your grasp!"
Then, just like with the iron ore, Wu Hua stored the coal mine in her spatial dimension.
This canyon is also filled with all kinds of fruit trees!
The mountain king was very satisfied; not only had he gotten rid of the annoying thing, but he had also gained a whole canyon of fruit trees.
Then he gathered the tiger pack, preparing to hunt more small animals for Qin Luo to take away.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua also wanted to see, so they went hunting with the tiger pack.
The thing that made her happiest was that she brought a herd of bison into her space; there were twelve of them in total.
Qin Luo built a cattle pen for them in the spatial forest, and even had Teng Teng wrap a fully electrified vine around the pen.
The buffalo herd initially tried angrily to break through the fence and escape, but after being stunned several times with electric shocks, they obediently stayed inside to graze.
Wu Hua was actually very reluctant to keep creatures in the space, but she couldn't resist Qin Luo's fondness for them.
"Luo Luo, you're responsible for cleaning up the cows' poop! I won't be doing anything about it!"
Qin Luo raised his hand and assured him, "Don't worry, I promise you won't smell even the slightest bit of stench!"
