Lu Qingyan and Ye Mu were still happily strolling through the streets, unaware that danger was about to befall them.
There's a shop called Guoer Shop on the nearby street that sells both fruit and alcohol.
As Lu Qingyan passed by, an old woman stopped her: "Beautiful lady, our shop has launched a new fruit wine and we'd like to invite passersby to try it. Would you like to give it a shot?"
Lu Qingyan shook her head and refused, saying, "I don't drink."
Someone once said: "Alcohol corrupts the mind, tea cleanses the spirit." Even if she has a high alcohol tolerance, she won't drink much outside, and she certainly won't touch alcohol of unknown origin.
Not to mention, where in this world would there be any free lunch? Even if there were, she wouldn't want it.
The kind-looking old woman's expression immediately changed: "You're so ungrateful! I invited you out of kindness, and you don't appreciate it."
Lu Qingyan suppressed her smile: "I don't know you well, why should I accept your kindness?"
The old woman was stunned. She stammered, "I'm so old, and you still want to argue with me? Can't you consider..."
"Since you know you're getting old, you should just stay home and enjoy your life. Why come out and do these shady things? Aren't you afraid of offending—aren't you afraid of God's wrath?" Lu Qingyan changed the subject, almost saying that she wasn't afraid of offending her grandchildren's karma.
But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that this was not the Xia Kingdom, and the people here did not believe in karma and reincarnation. They only believed that sincere prayer would let God see their sincerity and take them to the paradise that seemed to be their heaven.
"In that case, make your move!" The old woman suddenly took a step back, peeled off her skin, and transformed into a young and beautiful girl in the blink of an eye.
Unlike the fair-skinned, blonde-haired people around her, she had long, glossy black hair and a slightly yellowish-black complexion. The color wasn't very dark; it was just a bit muted compared to the stark white skin of those around her. She also didn't possess the deep-set features of Lu Qingyan's current body, which almost blatantly declared to everyone that she was different.
"Arrest her!" she ordered, and a number of tall and burly men rushed toward Lu Qingyan.
In terms of skill, Ye Mu could have easily taken Lu Qingyan away unharmed, but for some reason, the space around them began to distort the moment they made their move.
"Help! What is this? I can't move!" the first person cried out in panic. "God, forgive my sins. I don't want to go to heaven or hell right now."
“No, it must be those two playing tricks. God is merciful and won’t harm us. They must be evil wizards, and we must destroy them.” The second person was noticeably calmer, but a hint of unease still lingered in his eyes.
Lu Qingyan and Ye Mu were unharmed, but many of those who attacked them were instantly annihilated upon contact with the distorted spatial lines. Their screams echoed through the silk, sending chills down one's spine.
Lu Qingyan said that she wanted such a powerful weapon too. It's just that there's no container that could hold it.
They stayed there, in the darkness, swaying and staggering, for a very long time before the feeling subsided. When they opened their eyes again, they were back in the familiar modern setting.
Lu Qingyan was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't expected that these people of unknown origin would suddenly make a move, which would actually create an opportunity for their return.
