"Shadow Nine, Shadow Ten, how is she?!"
Yingyi knew Yingjiu's personality; he was always ruthless and decisive. Thinking of Tianning's screams just now, could something really have happened to him?
The next second, Tianning stood up unharmed, her little face flushed from crying, looking rather pitiful.
However, her next actions had absolutely nothing to do with being pitiful!
Suddenly, the right leg that had been struck by Shadow Nine sprang high into the air. Tian Ning strode past Shadow Nine and Shadow Ten, patting Shadow One on the shoulder reassuringly, "It's alright, I'm fine~"
Shadow One: "..."
Who the hell was screaming so miserably just now?
Yingyi felt that something was wrong, but the pills distributed to them were all of the lowest grade. Even if a few pills were missing, it wouldn't cause any problems. After all, what could those low-grade healing pills with their pitifully little spiritual energy be used for?
Seeing that Tian Ning had obediently returned to the group, Ying Yi suspiciously stepped forward and asked:
"You're not running away anymore?"
Tian Ning sighed, as if she had come to terms with it.
She said, "In that life-or-death moment just now, I saw through so many things... Even if I go back now, I can't get back the pure, unconditional love he had for me when I was young! So, I think... let this ill-fated relationship end here! Since it's for him, I'll accept my fate even if it means death, sob sob sob..."
Seeing how vulnerable she was, several kind-hearted girls rushed over to comfort her.
Because Shadow One rubbed salt into the wound, and a girl even turned around and glared at him!
Shadow One: "..."
Originally, Tianning, who had fallen in halfway through, was not familiar with these mortals.
If these people hadn't been sent from different villages and didn't know each other at all, Tianning would have been exposed long ago.
Fortunately, after what happened, everyone's attitude towards Tianning suddenly warmed up. Not only did the girls fuss over her, but even the older folks came over to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, saying things like there's no hurdle in life that can't be overcome, and that they've seen more of life than she's ever had...
Yingyi gets a headache just looking at this girl; she always does things inexplicably.
Fortunately, she has settled down now.
The group entered Ghost Doctor Valley without anyone noticing that someone had been secretly observing their every move ever since they entered the area.
“It’s rare to see such a lively mortal,” the baby-faced boy said, pointing at Tian Ning, who was surrounded by the crowd. He curled his lips and said with a wicked grin, “Let’s go with her. She can definitely keep us entertained for a long time before she breaks!”
The two children behind him responded in unison and quickly went to make the arrangements.
Shadow led the group to a spacious dwelling.
The village was built like an ordinary village in the mortal world, with a dozen or so thatched huts sitting together. Inside, there were neatly made beds, tables and chairs, and all the necessities were provided, as if they were waiting for their owners to arrive.
One of the girls exclaimed in surprise, "This fairy realm isn't so different from our village after all..."
An elderly woman standing nearby inexplicably knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "It must be the mercy of the immortals that they have specially prepared such a place for us!"
Tianning noticed that when the youngest Shadow Ten looked at these people, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
Yingyi said, "You can stay here for now. If anything happens, the deity will send a celestial attendant to inform you."
Everyone naturally agreed.
Before leaving, Yingyi told them that their daily meals would be delivered by the fairy children, and they could cook and eat whatever they wanted, but they were forbidden to eat the flowers and plants growing outside the house, and were also forbidden to go too far away!
Once the shadows were gone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After traveling for so long, everyone was tired. The close friends decided to stay in one room. After settling in, they decided to settle down.
Tianning didn't bring much luggage; she traveled empty-handed the whole way.
Fortunately, she wasn't the only one who came empty-handed. The families in the mortal realm who sent their loved ones to be sacrificed to the gods naturally didn't expect them to survive, and even if they did prepare some things for them, they didn't bring much.
Although that low-grade healing pill didn't have much spiritual power, it was enough to open the storage pouch.
Tianning pretended to pull a storybook out of his clothes and slowly flipped through it, planning to go out and take a stroll around Ghost Doctor Valley after everyone had gone to sleep.
Most of the girls in the village were illiterate and had no interest in her storybooks.
There was only one girl who was dressed reasonably well. When she saw Tian Ning's words, she was completely stunned: "Killing Madness! I asked you to be a sacrifice, and you turned around and destroyed the gods?"
"..."
The girl was extremely sleepy, but after reading the title of the storybook, she couldn't fall asleep and kept tossing and turning under the covers.
Suddenly, she heard someone get up. After waiting a while, she peeked out from under the covers and saw that Tianning's bed was empty, with that outrageous storybook lying quietly on it.
girl:"……"
She had no intention of chasing after Tianning; her gaze remained fixed on the storybook the entire time…
Although it was outrageous, she inexplicably wanted to take a look and see what was written in it.
After sneaking out, Tianning grabbed several handfuls of healing pills and stuffed them into his mouth like he was eating candy; he couldn't stop.
He stopped when he felt his spiritual energy was full.
I also put a few hiding talismans on myself just in case.
Ghost Doctor Valley is full of flowers and plants, so it's easy to find a house. However, you can smell a strong stench of blood even before you get close.
Apart from that, there were no screams; instead, people were chatting leisurely.
Tianning had imagined countless bloody scenes that might occur inside the house. Cultivators wouldn't bring a group of mortals to the cultivation world for no reason, and even provide them with accommodation and food. This undoubtedly reminded her of what the Xuanyuan Ancestor had done.
Feeding—
But why raise these mortals who cannot repair their chains? What is their purpose?
Through the crack in the door, Tianning could vaguely see the scene inside the house...
