When Su Nian woke up again, she could no longer feel the cold.
He groggily opened his eyes and saw an old man approaching him with his eyes closed, pouting as if he wanted to kiss him.
Su Nian's expression changed, and she hurriedly pushed him away!
"What is that?!"
The old man was pushed backward several steps. Fortunately, Su Nian did not push him too hard, otherwise the old man would have been turned into mincemeat.
Su Nian sat up abruptly in bed, still shaken.
That was close!
I almost got kissed by an old man.
He looked around and found that it was a warm little wooden house with all kinds of furniture neatly arranged inside, and a kettle boiling on a stove.
A medicinal smell wafted from the kettle. He sniffed it, his expression turning somewhat strange.
It seems to be a medicine used to treat injuries.
He immediately realized he had been rescued, stood up, gave the old man an embarrassed smile, and said, "Excuse me, are you alright?"
With Su Nian's help, the old man stood up and hurriedly waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright."
As he spoke, he rubbed his own buttocks, making a face with a grimace.
"You're really strong, young man! You pushed this old man so far!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Su Nian could only smile awkwardly, "Uh... sorry, it was a mistake."
The old man glared at Su Nian with annoyance, walked to the kettle, and reached out to remove the lid, but withdrew his hand because he was burned by the steam.
Seeing this, Su Nian immediately stepped forward, "Let me do it!"
Undeterred by the scalding heat, he took the kettle down.
The old man was quite surprised to see this and looked Su Nian up and down. "You're not afraid of it being so hot? You're quite impressive, young man!"
Su Nian felt somewhat helpless.
Is this even considered hot? Even someone at the third level of Qi Refining wouldn't find it hot, right?
After letting the boiling water cool down for a while, the old man picked up a rag and used it as a mat before pouring out a bowl of medicinal soup.
"I made this for you, drink it quickly."
Su Nian understood, took the bowl of medicinal soup, and smiled at the old man, saying, "Then thank you, sir!"
After saying that, he drank the bowl of medicine soup in one gulp.
To be honest, Su Nian didn't need this bowl of medicinal soup at all.
But since it was a kind offer, he didn't refuse it out of politeness.
He was already prepared to repay the old man; he would simply take out some rare and precious herbs from his storage ring and give them to him later.
However, after taking one bite, Su Nian felt something was wrong.
He looked at the bowl of medicine with a strange expression.
"What's wrong, child? Is the medicine too bitter?" the old man asked.
Su Nian smiled upon hearing this, pretending to be nonchalant.
"No, no, it's acceptable."
After saying that, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Su Nian could sense that the medicine the old man had brewed was indeed for treating injuries and illnesses.
But if you had to pinpoint something strange... it would be that this medicine wasn't quite what Su Nian had imagined.
He asked the old man, "By the way, uncle, what kind of medicine is in this herbal soup?"
The old man thought for a moment, then counted on his fingers as he answered, "Nine-jointed wind, blood-dispersing grass, soapberry thorn..."
Su Nian frowned slightly.
These are all medicines I've never heard of before...
Moreover, the medicine contains no spiritual energy whatsoever. Does such a medicine still exist in the world today?
He suddenly remembered Su Liuli.
He then asked, "By the way, Uncle, what about the woman who brought me here?"
"woman?"
Su Nian nodded, "Yes, that woman with a veil, wearing a long blue dress, and with eyes as beautiful as a fairy!"
The old man shook his head.
"Never seen one before. Our fishing village hasn't had any newcomers in a long time. You're the only one who's come from outside all these years."
The old man pointed north and said, "That great storm... isolated us from the outside world. Our entire village is made up of the descendants of sinners, and we can never leave this place."
Su Nian was taken aback.
"Descendants of sinners?"
"Yes... Now that you're a member of our village, I'll make things clearer for you."
"Wait, wait, wait! What do you mean, I've become a member of your village?" Su Nian frowned.
The old man said matter-of-factly, "From now on you won't be able to leave again, so you're a member of our village, aren't you? Don't worry, although our fishing village doesn't have a large population, there are still a few young girls. You can easily settle down and start a family here."
Su Nian frowned.
"What are you talking about? How could I not get out? Do you even know who I am?"
The old man smiled and shook his head, asking, "Then do you know where this is?"
Su Nian had a vague sense of foreboding.
"where?"
"This place is the end of Kyushu, a world rift that exists independently of any other space."
Su Nian was startled, then suddenly rushed out of the house!
He had just rushed outside when he saw many local villagers surrounding him.
He looked up at the sky, his pupils contracting.
The sky was no longer day or night, but a giant crack.
To the south lies a vast ocean, and to the north lies an extremely cold land.
On the east and west sides are towering, seemingly endless fairy mountains.
Amid the villagers' noisy pointing and whispering, he looked out into the depths of the sea.
There, one can vaguely see a colossal pillar reaching to the sky.
