The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

The island surrounded by layers of white fog looks like the place where immortals live in the legends, with clouds and mist lingering and fairy air floating in the air.

The tower seemed particularly mysterious as it appeared and disappeared in the smoky mist.

This place really looks like the place where immortals live, Shadow couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ren Xiaoyao landed on the ground with a cloud-stepping posture, holding his shadow, and landed on the shore of the island.

The land on this shore seems to be the lowest place on the entire island. The bottom of the tower cannot be seen from the sea, but here you can see that it is built on a mountain peak, which is also the highest place on the entire island.

If the Medicine Saint was not the only one living on this island, but there were many people, including those who came to seek medical treatment, then there must be a way up the mountain.

Shadow thought so.

Then he took a few deep breaths, absorbing the fresh air on the island, and was about to take a good look at this fairy-like island. At this time, from a direction around him, it seemed that from the woods in front of them, a young woman's voice came:

"Bury carefully and bury deep"

Then came the voice of another young woman:

"It's the sixth one this month. Do you think we will also--"

The woman's voice from before sounded again:

"Don't worry about it, just bury it carefully and let's go back quickly."

Then there was no sound.

Shadow and Ren Xiaoyao looked at each other, and Shadow made a look, which Ren Xiaoyao immediately understood. Shadow was hinting him to find a place to hide and observe the situation ahead. Ren Xiaoyao used Qinggong to bring himself and Shadow to a pile of rocks not far from where the sound came from.

Through the cracks in the stone, Shadow saw the backs of two women. He looked over and was surprised when he saw what they were wearing:

Both women were dressed in white, and their hair was not tied up in a bun. Their attire was exactly the same as those women with strange behaviors that he had seen in Donghai City before!

Ren Xiaoyao noticed it too, and the two looked at each other again, as if they both confirmed their surprise. They both wanted to know what they were burying here secretly, and they seemed to not want to be discovered, and their behavior was strange.

I saw the two women, one was looking around, as if keeping watch, and the other was holding a tool like a shovel and knocking on the ground for a while, as if fixing the soil that had already been buried.

It looks like something has been buried.

The two women looked around again, made sure no one was around to see them, and left quickly.

After the two walked for a while, Ren Xiaoyao used his light skills to bring the shadow to the place where the two had buried something before.

Shadow looked at the pile of soil on the ground, which was obviously different in color from the surrounding soil, and said to Ren Xiaoyao:

"Xiaoyao, dig it out and see what's buried there!"

Ren Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I will use my palm power to split the soil. Xi, get behind me, otherwise you will be stained by the soil."

After hearing this, Shadow became more and more satisfied with Ren Xiaoyao's thoughtfulness.

The shadow hid behind Ren Xiaoyao and suddenly felt that this man was quite manly.

Ren Xiaoyao just gathered his strength and used the wind from his palm to move all the soil that the two women had buried to one side. The two women were buried quite deep, and the soil that was moved up formed a pile next to them that was almost half a person's height!

And then, the scene they saw made them gasp:

Buried under the soil was the body of a young woman in white!

Her clothes were similar to those of the previous two women, which were the same attire as the group of strange women they had seen in Donghai City before.

What's even more bizarre is that the woman's limbs were covered with scars, and there was a stain of blood that had not yet dried on her skirt below her abdomen, as if - ?

This scene made Shadow feel nauseous.

Does this holy island in the East China Sea still hide some shameful secrets?

Ren Xiaoyao saw Ying's obvious nausea-inducing behavior, so he turned around, covered her eyes, and said softly:

"Xi, don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't be afraid."

After Yingzi felt less nauseous, he said to Ren Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, I think there is something fishy about this island. We must be careful! We will pretend we don't know about this and see how they pretend they don't know."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay, we will enter through the main gate and visit openly."

Ren Xiaoyao moved the mound back to its original place and covered it up. He then used Qinggong to bring himself and the shadow to an obvious path.

This should be the way up the mountain.

The two decided to walk up. In addition to showing their sincerity, it could also conceal Ren Xiaoyao's martial arts. Perhaps they could take a look from an ordinary person's perspective to see what kind of awful things were hidden in the place where the body of the young woman was hidden and where the revered East China Sea Medicine Saint lived.

After climbing for a while, they reached a place that seemed to be close to the mountainside, but still did not see any other people.

The shadow said, "Xiaoyao, look, it seems like there aren't many living people here. It's creepy."

Shadow covered it up very well and didn't mention a word about the two women in white.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the shadow and said softly, "That's true, Xi, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest?"

Shadow shook her head and was about to continue walking up when a small stone flew in front of her left side. If it weren't for Ren Xiaoyao's extremely quick reaction and her finger magic to deflect the stone, it would have hit her head.

"Who!" Shadow asked loudly.

I saw a child about seven or eight years old jumping down from a big tree in the front left, holding a stone in his hand and looking at the shadow.

"You threw it?"

Shadow raised her eyebrows, stared at the child and asked. This big sister had a bad temper. Even if it was a child, if they provoked her, they would be scolded.

"Hmph!" The child looked disdainful.

The kid's reaction almost showed off his shadow.

The stone was thrown at someone with a temper. It seemed that the child was going to be beaten up by society. When Shadow was about to ask Ren Xiaoyao to give the child a lesson, the child said disdainfully:

"Another fool going up there to die, and he's in a hurry to die!"

Ren Xiaoyao and the other two were startled. Shadow looked at the child, his face flushed and his eyes clear. He didn't seem like a bored kid making trouble. At this time, the small plant in the bamboo tube on his waist spoke:

"Why don't you just listen to what he has to say? I think he's pretty good."

As expected, all tsunderes recognize tsunderes.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the child and said, "Little brother, please tell me the reason. Otherwise, if you scare the sister next to me, I will definitely teach you a lesson."

The child's face turned red and he shouted, "So many people have died, and you are still rushing up to die! You are a fool!"

Ren Xiaoyao and the other two were shocked, and began to think that this matter was definitely not that simple. Thinking back to what happened before, when the two women buried the body, and then thinking about what the child said now -

Maybe he really knows something.

The shadow then raised his eyebrows, gave Ren Xiaoyao a gentle look, and stared at the child. Ren Xiaoyao understood.

Ren Xiaoyao walked up to the child, squatted down, held his shoulders, and said, "Little brother, if you know anything, you might as well tell me. If it's true, I promise to buy you candied haws when I return to the city."

The child, whose face was red with grievance and anger just now, seemed to immediately turn from gloomy to bright after hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words: "Don't you dare fool me!"

Ren Xiaoyao patted his shoulder and said, "Brother promises you that as long as what you said is true, I will buy you a big bag of candied haws when I return to Donghai City after finishing my business."

The child was now sunny and said, "I want two packs!"

Shadow was almost amused. Ren Xiaoyao patted the child on the back, stretched out one hand, clenched it into a fist, only extended the little finger, raised it in front of the child, and said:

"Okay, I'll make a promise with you."

The child also stretched out a hand, and while making a pinky promise with Ren Xiaoyao, he said, "If you fool me, I'm a puppy!"

Shadow couldn't help himself this time and burst out laughing.

The child glanced at her sideways, pulled back his hand, and turned to look at Ren Xiaoyao, his expression seemed a little angry again:

"Don't you know that the old man in this tower specializes in abusing young girls? This fool is so beautiful, are you taking her up there to die?"

After Shadow heard this, she became alert all of a sudden. This island was becoming more and more strange. It seemed to have deviated from her previous understanding of the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea.

Ren Xiaoyao was also surprised, but he remained silent, pretending that he had no reaction. He said to the child calmly as before: "Little brother, tell me everything you know, no matter how big or small the details are. I will keep it a secret for you and will protect you."

The child looked at the alert shadow next to him and began to relax a little. He said to Ren Xiaoyao, "Every year, a group of young women are sent to the island. When they first come, there are fifty or sixty of them. After a year, there are not even five left. The remaining ones are all ugly. The most beautiful one died within a month after arriving."

This time, not only Shadow was really scared, but even Ren Xiaoyao gasped. His sweetheart could almost be regarded as the most stunning beauty in the world. According to the child, she had become the most dangerous one the moment she landed on the island?

No wonder the child with clear eyes was so angry. If what he said was true, if the shadow went up any further, it would almost be like giving away its head. This is really what the child said about being a fool.

Thinking back to what the soldier guarding the inn had said before, that only one ship came here from Donghai City every year, it matched what the child said about a group of women being sent here every year.

This association makes one's scalp tingle.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the shadow behind him with a pale face. He guessed something and quickly stood up, took her into his arms, and said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, Xi, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

Shadow hugged Ren Xiaoyao's waist and buried her head in his arms. Ren Xiaoyao's heartbeat quickened and he held her tighter, as if he wanted to do his best to protect the woman in his arms.

At this touching moment, the child who was eating dog food nearby and the small plant on Shadow's waist rolled their eyes.

Tsundere types don’t seem to like being fed dog food.

The shadow quickly calmed down and continued to stand behind Ren Xiaoyao, motioning Ren Xiaoyao to continue asking. Ren Xiaoyao turned to the child and continued to ask: "Little brother, is this old man you are talking about the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea?"

The child was so excited after hearing these words that tears were about to burst out: "What kind of medicine saint is he! This old man is the worst devil. He uses the blood that only young sisters have to treat diseases!"

One surprise after another.

This really made Yingzi and Ren Xiaoyao gasp again, especially Yingzi. In addition to the child's warning about his dangerous situation, he also thought of a very important thing:

If the legend of the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea is false, then what should be done with Ren Xiaoyao's illness? If the legend is not false, but if the so-called Medicine Saint of the East China Sea really uses the blood of young women to treat diseases as the child said, how can Ren Xiaoyao, who is full of chivalry, accept this?

Shadow then asked, "So the legend of the reincarnation of the Medical Saint of the East China Sea is fake?"

The child glanced at her and said unhappily, "When I was very young, I saw a handsome big brother who looked like an immortal. He came to our Donghai Village to treat illnesses. He just poured out the medicine powder in the bottle and blew it gently, and he saved a bunch of people in our village who had just died of the plague! The people in our village regarded him as a god. The village chief asked him what his name was, but he didn't tell us. He just told us that he lived on an island with a tower in the East China Sea. The village chief said that it was the wish of all the villagers to call him the East China Sea Medicine Saint, so he agreed. Before he left, he hugged me and gave me a talisman. My mother made a brocade bag, put the talisman in it, and hung it on my chest. After that, people in our village and the city, if they had a serious illness that the doctor couldn't cure, would take a boat here to find him. This place was also called the East China Sea Holy Island."
