Qin Luo continued, "Senior, I smell a girl who smells very good and makes me feel hungry. Could it be that I'm under a spell?"
The old woman frowned. "It's possible. Some Gu are hard to detect with the naked eye. The reason we find food delicious is because it contains the energy we need. When you think it smells very, very good, then it must contain the energy you need, very strong energy."
Qin Luo had thought about this question a long time ago. What was inside Hua Ying's body was most likely a fragment of the Heavenly Dao. However, when he encountered other fragments of the Heavenly Dao, he was at most tempted.
The old woman shook her head and sighed softly, "The Taoist priest certainly doesn't want to hurt her. Since you don't want to hurt her, it's best if you never see each other again, so that you can both be at peace."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior."
Qin Luo bowed to the old woman.
The old woman extended her hand and welcomed her with a smile, saying, "Master, you have come from afar. Please rest in the valley."
Qin Luo disliked causing trouble for others. He smiled and shook his head, saying respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I need to continue my journey, so I won't linger here any longer."
Ye Nanxing shook the old woman's arm, "Grandma, can I go to the capital with you, senior?"
"no."
The old woman had a stern face.
Ye Nanxing could only pout.
I should have known better than to come back with Qin Luo.
Ye Nanxing looked at the thin stone and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Stone, stay in the Netherworld Valley, I'll take care of you."
Shi Tou looked at Qin Luo, who smiled and said, "You need to learn to make your own choices."
Ye Nanxing often talked to him, but Shi Tou preferred Qin Luo, who didn't talk much, so he shook his head.
Ye Nanxing didn't insist. She smiled and said, "You wait here, I'll go get you some food."
"Okay, okay!"
The little dumpling nodded happily.
Ye Nanxing ran into the Netherworld Valley, and soon came out carrying a large pile of things. "Stone, try on these shoes and see if they fit."
Shi Tou put on his brand-new cloth shoes, which were very comfortable. He kept bowing and thanking her, "Thank you, sister."
"You'll take the blame for this."
Ye Nanxing handed Shi Tou a black pot, then gave him a package of food. "This contains zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and steamed buns, all cooked. You can heat them up when you want to eat them."
Stone carried a large black pot on his back and a big bag of food, feeling very touched. "Thank you, sister."
The little dumpling thought there was something delicious to eat, but it turned out to be all foods she didn't like.
Qin Luo turned and walked out of the valley. The little dumpling reminded him, "Stone, we're leaving."
Shi Tou hurriedly carried the scapegoat and chased after Qin Luo, glancing back every now and then, "Thank you, sister!"
Ye Nanxing watched them leave the valley, somewhat regretfully, "Grandma, why didn't you let me go to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom with them?"
The old woman said meaningfully, "We can't cause trouble for the Taoist priest, and the Great Xia Kingdom is a very dangerous place."
"All right."
Ye Nanxing sighed.
