Chapter 371 No Regrets
Ye Xiaoman greeted her with a smile, "Hello."
The bad girl's approachable charm appeals to people of all ages. Ye Xiaoman has a good face. Seeing that she and her two brothers are particularly good-looking, the little girl bravely moves over and shyly gives Ye Xiaoman a steamed bun.
Yue Mushan walked away to grab the steamed buns, and Ye Xiaoman started chatting with the little girl.
"My name is No Regret."
The little girl pointed at the couple across from Ye Xiaoman who were smiling at her, "They are my father and mother."
The couple were wearing Taoist robes, and a circle of black snake tails was faintly visible under the robes.
The child was simple and naive, so Ye Xiaoman asked a few questions and Buhui told her all about their origins.
It turns out that Buhui's parents were Taoist priests who practiced the ruthless way. After being thrown into a dark prison, they were influenced by this place and did not stick to the ruthless way. They fell in love, got married, had children, broke the taboo of lust, and were transformed into snakes.
Ye Xiaoman immediately understood the origin of the little girl's name "Buhui".
Even if I become a shameful monster, I will not regret the choice I made.
Ye Xiaoman has been here for so long, and finally heard a more earthly story.
Her increasingly irritable mood eased a little, and she said softly, "Your name is very nice."
Buhui was very happy after hearing this and squatted beside Ye Xiaoman and ate a steamed bun.
Ye Xiaoman then asked how their family fell into the hands of the Scorpion People.
Bu Hui said, "Our village was attacked."
Ye Xiaoman further improved the intelligence about the black prison through the unique and jumping narration of a child.
In addition to imprisoning powerful foreigners, the ghost lords will occasionally throw the masters they have captured into Huangquan Ferry to imprison them.
Some of the alienated prisoners have become evil beings, such as the scorpion man tonight and the monster hiding underwater and attacking Ye Xiaoman.
The other part is like unrepentant parents. Although they have violated the rules, they still abide by the law. A group of people put together the boats they can collect and gather into a village. They are often invaded by the evil part, captured as food, or enslaved.
The sea of blood seemed vast and boundless. According to the description of the little boy Buhui, there were thousands or tens of thousands of villages like the Guizhu Bandit Village and the Snake Man Village, and no one could count exactly how many there were.
The ghost world started building the Yellow Springs Ferry since the beginning of the world. Only the ghost lord knows how many people have been exiled there.
Unrepentant parents once left their village to bring their children out of the sea of blood and swam in it for several years, but there was no end and no one knew where the limit of the sea of blood was.
Buhui was still young and didn't understand how hopeless it was to be trapped at the bottom of the sea forever. She looked at Ye Xiaoman and Jiaying curiously. Their beautiful and clean appearance was completely different from the dilapidated appearance she had seen since she was a child.
"Sister, are you from outside?"
Bu Hui had never seen the world outside the Sea of Blood. She had only heard about it from her parents, knowing that it was a place full of sunshine and flowers. She asked longingly, "Is it beautiful outside?"
Before Ye Xiaoman could figure out how to tell a white lie to comfort a child, such as "The outside of the ghost world is also a garbage dump, no different from here", her parents called her back.
Ye Xiaoman clenched her fist with great confidence, a small universe burning behind her, "Master Jiaying, we must break the black prison and rescue the innocent people."
Yue Mushan came back with three clean steamed buns.
Ye Xiaoman changed the subject and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."
Ye Xiaoman ate the steamed bun that Buhui gave her while they were chatting.
Yue Mushan originally wanted to give her all the food. Jiaying practiced high-energy fasting. He was a great demon with a special physique and could survive for a year without food or water. As for Ye Xiaoman, as a human, no matter how powerful she was, she needed to be protected in his heart.
Ye Xiaoman felt embarrassed, so she divided the three buns equally, one for each of them.
"Amu, you are still growing, so eat more." The food was found by Yue Mushan, and Ye Xiaoman gave him the biggest steamed bun.
For the remaining two, she gave the one with clean skin to Jiaying.
Jiaying closed his eyes and meditated, as if he had blocked out all the noise from the outside world. Ye Xiaoman gently placed the steamed bun on his knees.
She and Yue Mushan snuggled together, you feed me a bite, I give you a bite, and they ate their meal in a loving manner.
The Scorpion Man probably captured a chef with quite good cooking skills, and the steamed buns were very good. After Ye Xiaoman finished the one on her hand, she looked at Jiaying's with an unsatisfied look.
Jiaying didn't move, so she assumed he wasn't going to eat anymore. Adhering to the idea of not wasting food, she picked up the steamed bun on Jiaying's lap, tore half of it, and handed the other half to Yue Mushan, "Amu, eat."
Jiaying finally opened his eyes and turned his gaze from his empty knees to Yue Mushan.
Yue Mushan lowered his head and ate all of Jiaying's food with a smile as Ye Xiaoman fed him with her fingers.
"You really have no sense of crisis at all," the inmate next to him said coldly, "You're about to die, and you're still enjoying your last meal."
Ye Xiaoman turned her head and three steps to her right, she saw several monks huddled in a corner where the earth wall was sunken.
They all wore black robes, with tassels hanging from the hilts of their swords and small jade pendants carved into the shape of crescent-shaped scimitars. Ye Xiaoman recognized them as the marks that indicated they were disciples of the Tianxin Sect, a famous and upright sect in the world.
Compared to the old sect like Qingzhengzong, which was once glorious but has been in decline for a long time, it has been in its heyday for nearly a thousand years and has the style of being the number one sect.
Ye Xiaoman counted and found that there were five disciples in total, two females and three males.
As for their cultivation, they were at a similar level to hers. The one with the highest cultivation was a senior sister who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
Ye Xiaoman bowed to them and asked, "Excuse me, fellow Taoists, what danger will we encounter next?"
The other party did not answer her directly. Seeing that she was wearing a ghost soldier's uniform, he said in a mocking tone: "How did you become a ghost tribe's lackey when you are a human?"
Ye Xiaoman: "It's all for survival in the ghost world. Although I am sent by the ghosts, I can guarantee that I have never done anything to harm the human race."
The other party's expression became slightly more friendly, and then he answered Ye Xiaoman's question:
"The landlord of this bandit camp likes to use cruel methods to skin and bone captives and turn them into puppets. You'd better think of a way to escape quickly, otherwise you will suffer a fate worse than death."
Ye Xiaoman remembered that when the Scorpion Soldiers locked them up just now, they said something like "After having the last meal, we will be turned into puppets by the boss."
She asked nervously, "When do landlords usually take action?"
"We'll start mass production once we have enough people," the monk who answered Ye Xiaoman's question said with a gloomy face, "After you come in, there will be fifty of us. The landlord will soon take action against us."
Before Ye Xiaoman could ask for more details, the magic circle was opened again, and a group of scorpion people came in, kicking and beating the prisoners, shouting: "Everyone, get up and follow us!"
