After a short rest in the abandoned village of Twelve Caves, the group continued on their way.

This time, Hou Qing walked in front, since only he knew the way. Although Shen Ye knew the plot, the plot didn't tell him where to go; at most, he knew where they would pass through.

After walking for a long time, the group actually saw many Miao villages in this almost isolated place, and even occasionally came across teahouses where they could stop to rest and replenish their food.

Moreover, they never encountered a terrifying place like Dead Creek Forest along the way, nor were they endlessly chased like in the original series. On the contrary, many of the places they passed through were incredibly beautiful, which made them feel happy.

In this cheerful mood, the group walked briskly for a whole day before finally arriving at a birch forest filled with crimson leaves.

After walking with Hou Qing in the birch forest for a while, Hou Qing suddenly stopped, pointed his bone flute forward, and said, "The Flower Valley where the Falling Flower Cave is located is not far ahead."

Following the direction his bone flute pointed, everyone saw a wooden building looming in and out of the dense birch forest, swaying gently in the wind. Behind the wooden building, a valley could be vaguely seen.

Seeing that Luohua Cave was right in front of them, everyone became excited. Although they had enjoyed sightseeing along the way, they were all tired after a day's walk.

However, the older sister, with her quirky way of thinking, asked her younger brother with some curiosity, "Since you're so close, why did you stop here?"

“Because I don’t want to go in.” Hou Qing tapped his palm lightly with his bone flute, then turned to Shen Ye: “Brother Shen, I’m not good at, nor do I like, dealing with women. Since you’re here, you should take them over.”

Shen Ye knew that Hou Qing wasn't interested in women, but he still didn't expect him to be unwilling to even go inside. He frowned and said, "It's getting dark now. If you don't go in, you'll have to spend the night outside. Let's go together."

Hou Qing shook his head: "I have my own place to stay. Don't forget, I've been here before."

At this point, he pointed in a direction: "Go straight that way, and there will be a village in less than twenty miles, so Brother Shen, you can rest assured."

Shen Ye had no choice but to nod: "Then... alright, we'll find you in that village once we've found out the way."

"Hmm!" Hou Qing nodded, then turned around gracefully and left without looking back.

After watching Hou Qing leave, Shen Ye led several women towards the Falling Flower Cave. Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the Falling Flower Cave.

At this moment, the group realized that the wooden building was actually a small village gate, and on both sides of this small village gate, there were cow skulls in the Miao style as decorations.

While everyone was still looking around, a group of women dressed in red slowly walked out of the village gate. Most of the women in red covered their faces with red scarves, but the woman in the middle who wore Miao silver ornaments on her head had no cover on her face, revealing a beautiful but aloof face.

Upon seeing these women appear, Shen Ye, the man, had not yet reacted, but Chi Meng, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, such beautiful women!"

This sound drew the attention of many masked women in red.

At this moment, one of the masked women whispered in the ear of the aloof woman with silver ornaments, "Cave Master, the divine oracle last night was indeed true. A man really came today. Is it him?"

"Let's invite them in first... and see what happens." The cool, beautiful woman's bright eyes flickered slightly as she spoke in a low voice, almost imperceptibly.

Then, the aloof woman took two steps forward, clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and said to Shen Ye and the others, "Good friends who have come from afar, I am Qianwu, the master of Luohua Cave. On behalf of all the villages in Luohua Cave, I welcome you all."

After she finished speaking, she leaned forward slightly, then straightened up and gestured to the crowd to come in.

"Everyone, please come in!"

Although he had read the plot and knew that Qianwu, the cave master of Luohua Cave, was very "hospitable," Shen Ye still found her actions a bit strange, as she seemed too polite. However, he didn't think too much about it, nodded, said "excuse me," and went in first.

……

Although Luohua Cave contains the word "cave," its actual area is surprisingly large, almost encompassing the entire Huagu Valley.

The scenery inside the painting valley is even more breathtaking than outside, as if it were a dream, truly deserving of the name "Painting Valley".

Led by Qianwu, the cave master of Luohua Cave, Shen Ye and his group slowly walked into the Painting Valley. Looking at the dreamlike scenery before them, everyone was constantly amazed.

Afterwards, Qianwu led Shen Ye onto a boardwalk built over a waterfall, and then Qianwu suddenly slowed down and walked alongside him.

"Ah Lang isn't from Miao territory, is he?" Qianwu asked in a cold voice.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze from admiring the picturesque scenery of the valley and nodded: "I am from the Central Plains."

"Then what brings you all the way from the Central Plains, Ah Lang?" Qianwu continued to ask.

"We came here to find the Twelve Caves. We heard that if we find the Falling Flower Cave, we can find the Twelve Caves..." Shen Ye directly stated the purpose of their visit.

After listening to Shen Ye's explanation, Qian Wu's eyes flashed again, and then he chuckled and said, "I see. However, Ah Lang must have misheard the rumors. The Painting Valley where our Falling Flower Cave is located is not the legendary Twelve Caves, nor is it the entrance to the Twelve Caves."

"Really? Looks like we've come to the wrong place." Shen Ye looked at Qian Wu, who was blatantly lying, and snorted without batting an eye. He thought to himself, if I hadn't seen the plot, I probably would have actually believed your nonsense. After all, beautiful women are so easy to fool.

Qianwu, of course, had no idea what Shen Ye was thinking, but he didn't continue Shen Ye's words. Instead, he asked, "What does Ah Lang think of our place?"

"Of course it's wonderful! The scenery here is picturesque, like a paradise on earth." Shen Ye didn't hold back his praise, and it was his true feelings.

He then added, "If I could live here for a long time, I guess I could live a long and healthy life, maybe even a few decades longer."

"Is that so?" Qianwu's eyes flickered even more intensely, and then she continued to ask, "Does Alang have any plans to stay here for a long time?"

"No." Shen Ye shook his head. "I prefer places that are a bit more lively. This place... is too quiet."

"Is that so?" Qianwu nodded thoughtfully.

Chapter 469! Cave God

……

"My friends have come from afar, and I'm sure you must be very tired. Why don't you rest here for a few days and recharge before continuing your journey?"

After passing through the plank road, the group, led by Qianwu, arrived at a cave entrance in the painting valley. Qianwu stopped, turned around, and spoke to the group.

"We appreciate this sister's kindness, but we have important matters to attend to. Since this is not the entrance to the Twelve Caves, we cannot stay any longer and will leave soon." For some reason, Lu Linxuan suddenly felt that Qianwu's attempt to persuade them to stay seemed somewhat ill-intentioned, and immediately refused.

Qianwu glanced at her and said, "You don't want to stay and rest, but that Alang needs to. He's a man who led you Ayas here to rescue people. He's probably already exhausted, both physically and mentally."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye's expression immediately became quite interesting. He wondered if someone had misspoken. Shouldn't the Falling Flower Cave be polite to women and unfriendly to men? Why was it the other way around?

He glanced at Qianwu suddenly, looking puzzled but also as if he had just thought of something.

Could it be that my potential succubus constitution has taken effect, and he's treating me like a cave god?

At this moment, Qianwu had already begun giving instructions to his subordinates.

"Take these Ayas to the side cave to rest. Remember to treat them well and don't neglect them."

"Yes!"

"And this young man, please come with me alone..."

"Wait……"

Chi Meng suddenly spoke up, interrupting Qian Wu.

Why did you separate us?

Qianwu calmly replied, "The villages in Luohua Cave are all inhabited by women, which is not very convenient, so he needs to go to another place alone."

Chi Meng had heard the legend of the Fallen Flower Cave Girl from her father. After thinking about it, she felt that it made some sense, so she stopped talking.

The other women looked at Shen Ye, and although they didn't speak, they all asked him what he meant with their eyes.

Shen Ye glanced at Qian Wu, then at Lu Linxuan and the other girls. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Since he had said so, Lu Linxuan and the other women could not object anymore, and were then led into a cave by several women in red.

As soon as they left, Qianwu gestured for Shen Ye to follow.

“Please come with me, Ah Lang. I will take you to wash off the dust of your journey.”

"Are you going to help me personally?" Shen Ye looked at her with a half-smile. Since she spoke so ambiguously, he naturally wouldn't hold back. Anyway, he already had too many women around him to count. If he was going to be a scumbag, he would be a complete scumbag. He couldn't do something like being a prostitute and then pretending to be virtuous, nor did he care to do it.

His thinking has undergone a tremendous change. Apart from retaining certain moral principles, he is now a completely different person from before.

Hearing Shen Ye's words, which sounded like he was teasing her, Qianwu covered her mouth and laughed.

"If you need it, Ah Lang, it's not impossible. But aren't you afraid of hurting those girls' feelings?"

But Shen Ye simply said, "I usually make the decisions at home."

"That young master is truly amazing!" Qianwu smiled, her beautiful eyes crinkling into crescents. She then stepped forward and gently took Shen Ye's arm. "Young master, please come with me."

Seeing that Qianwu didn't avoid suspicion at all, Shen Ye became even more certain of his guess. It seemed that he really might be regarded as a cave god, otherwise Qianwu's attitude would not have changed like this.

But... he still felt it was a bit outrageous.

……

But after following Qianwu into the main cave of Luohua Cave, Shen Ye felt that it wasn't so outrageous. His succubus physique might have given him a special attack bonus against women, or rather, female characters, making them unconsciously develop a liking for him at first sight. Besides, the women of Luohua Cave had been brainwashing him, saying that they would not marry anyone but the cave god. Qianwu's change of attitude so quickly was probably a very normal thing.

After all, in the original story, Hou Qing said that the women in Luohua Cave were a bunch of infatuated women, and it was normal for them to do whatever they wanted.

However, he was curious whether his physical condition would work on a woman who already had feelings for him.

As he was thinking this, Qianwu led him into a stone chamber.

To Shen Ye's surprise, the interior of this stone room was quite interesting, almost like a wedding room, as everything inside was decorated in bright red.

"Miss Qianwu, you've brought the wrong room." Shen Ye glanced around the room and joked, "Are you perhaps planning to marry me?"

To everyone's surprise, Qianwu nodded and said, "That's exactly what Qianwu thinks."

Having experienced many things, Shen Ye wasn't surprised. He simply asked as usual, "We've only just met, why is Miss Qianwu doing this? Is this some kind of custom among the Miao people?"

"It's not a custom of the Miao people, it's just a rule of our Luohua Cave." As Qianwu said this, she slowly knelt down before Shen Ye. The women of Luohua Cave who followed her also knelt down in unison, their eyes filled with an uncontrollable fervor and worship.

“Last night we received a divine message from the Cave God, saying that his incarnation will arrive today, and that incarnation is you.”

"Are you so sure?" Shen Ye was very surprised by this statement. After pausing for a moment, he asked, "What if another man came before me? Or what if you mistook me for someone else?"

In fact, Shen Ye's words already implied that he was denying that he was the incarnation of the Cave God, but Qianwu shook his head: "We will not be mistaken, because Qianwu fell in love with you at the first moment we saw you. Only the Cave God has such charm."
