Nan Qu never expected that the gourmet world the Time-Space Beast had described would be like this.
Nan Qu felt like she was awake, but it also felt like she wasn't really awake. Because at that moment, her whole body was limp and she had no strength at all.
And around her lay countless others like her. But only she had her eyes open; the others not only had their eyes closed, they were also completely lifeless.
So is she in a mass grave now?
This resurrection scene is quite grand.
Nan Qu struggled to crawl out of the pile of corpses. Looking at the way you people were starving and freezing, even without an autopsy, Yuan Qu knew that they had starved to death.
He's so weak and listless right now, he must be starving.
Despite having crawled out of piles of corpses herself, as a doctor, she still had some obsessive-compulsive tendencies and couldn't bring herself to eat amidst them.
After a difficult journey to leave that place, Nan Qu finally took out food from her spatial storage. Before eating, she didn't forget to wipe her hands, after all, how many bacteria could be on a dead person's body?
As expected, Nanqu regained her strength after eating and was finally able to think about what she should do next.
Baicao is a very nice person. After taking her to the Medicine Sect, they arranged a private residence for her, located on a small hill next to her own home. She had ample privacy; as long as she occasionally went out to let others know she was alive, that was enough. No one would bother her.
Nan Qu liked this arrangement very much, which is why she had time to come to this new time and space.
She just didn't expect the opening of the new timeline to be so explosive, making her crawl out of a pile of corpses.
"Does Xiao Kong have any memories of the original owner?"
"Because the original owner died too long ago, her memories have disappeared, so it is impossible to access the memories in her brain."
Is it another case of no memory?
That's fine, then she can just be herself.
"Is there anything I need to be aware of in this timeline?"
"No, this is just a two-dimensional world. The host can play around with it however he wants. The body we found for the host this time is already confirmed to be dead, so there is naturally no storyline."
Nan Qu was even happier after hearing what the Time-Space Beast said. There were no restrictions, and she didn't have to follow the original owner's storyline. Wouldn't that mean she could play however she wanted?
After resting for a while, Nan Qu changed out of her dirty clothes, took a shower, changed her clothes, and then happily headed towards the city.
This is Nanqu's second time visiting an ancient city.
The first is the world of martial arts. Luckily, she still has clothes from that era; otherwise, she might have needed to go to the modern world to buy some Hanfu or similar clothing first.
There are such cases in the cultivation world, but right now the cultivation world is discussing what happened in the Xuanjian Sect's competition. If she goes out, she will definitely become the focus of attention. If she buys a few sets of adult clothes, who knows what kind of nonsense people will say about her.
Having no memory of it, Nan Qu didn't know where the nearest town was, so she could only rely on her common sense from living in ancient times to head towards the official road.
"Giddy up! Giddy up! Whoa~~"
Nan Qu heard the sound of horses behind her and instinctively moved aside, but unexpectedly, the horse did not pass her directly, but stopped in front of her.
"May I ask, young lady, is this Thousand Dragon City ahead?"
Nan Qu raised her head slightly and saw a young man in a tight-fitting outfit sitting on the horse. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a heroic spirit, and his eyes carried a hint of inquiry.
She gently shook her head and replied, "I don't know how far it is from Qianlong City either. I got lost and am just following this official road, trying to find a town."
The man frowned slightly upon hearing this, seemingly somewhat disappointed, but still politely said, "In that case, I'm sorry to have troubled you, young lady. My name is Su Jing. I was on my way to Qianlong City to take care of some important business, but I got lost along the way. This official road looks rather unfamiliar to me."
Nan Qu shrugged: "Then good luck to you."
The man paused for a moment, then glanced at Nan Qu, bowed respectfully from his horse, and then left.
Nanqu, however, continued forward along the pipe as she pleased.
Since there is a mass grave here, there must be a town nearby. However, given the desolate landscape littered with corpses, it seems there must have been some natural disaster or man-made calamity in the vicinity.
Nan Qu only hoped that she would be lucky enough to enter the city smoothly.
Nanqu walked along the official road for a long time before finally seeing the outline of a town in the distance. Overjoyed, she quickened her pace.
As Nan Qu approached, she saw many ragged people standing or lying at the city gate. Nan Qu felt a heaviness in her heart; just as she had thought, this place had indeed suffered a disaster, and these people must be the victims.
Looking at the heavily guarded city gate, Nan Qu knew that these people probably wouldn't be able to enter the city. As for their chances of survival, they were even more likely to be disappointed.
Nan Qu straightened her clothes and calmly walked towards the city gate.
"Who goes there? Where do you come from? What brings you to the city?" The guard stopped Nanqu and asked loudly.
Nan Qu smiled and replied, "My name is Nan Qu. I was traveling around, but I encountered some misfortunes along the way. Now I want to find a place to stay in the city to rest and recuperate."
The guard looked her up and down, noticing that although she looked tired, she had an extraordinary air about her and didn't seem like a person with ill intentions. "Do you have a household registration certificate?"
Nan Qu was taken aback; she really didn't have that.
Nan Qu chuckled dryly: "Well, I lost it during my travels, and I was planning to get a replacement in the nearest town."
The guard frowned: "During this period of strict control, no one is allowed to enter without a household registration certificate. I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Nan Qu became anxious. She had finally made it to the city gate; how could she be stopped outside? She quickly said, "Sir, you see, my journey has been truly difficult, filled with many misfortunes. I do indeed lack my household registration certificate, but I really just want to enter the city to find a place to stay, rest, and then leave. I absolutely will not cause any trouble for the city. Please, have mercy and make an exception for me."
The guard remained stern and unmoved: "Miss, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, but there are orders from above. In these special times, we must strictly follow the rules. If we let any unscrupulous person in, the entire city will suffer. You should look elsewhere."
Seeing that her soft approach wasn't working, Nan Qu's eyes lit up and she came up with another idea. She took out a jade pendant of decent quality from her bundle, handed it to the guard, and said with a smile, "Sir, you see, I don't have anything valuable on me, except for this jade pendant. If you help me this time and let me into the city, consider this jade pendant my tribute to you. You can use it to exchange for some money for wine."
The guard looked at the jade pendant, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his seriousness, pushed the jade pendant back to Nan Qu, and said, "Miss, are you trying to bribe me? I would never dare to accept this. You'd better not make things difficult for me and leave quickly. If we continue to entangle ourselves, it won't be good for either of us."
