The Psychic Girl

"I can't rest at the post station today. I have to hurry on my way! I don't know what the road will be like!" Xia Xi yawned and shrank back into the medicine barrel.

The post station is a unique place used by the human race on the Lingwu Continent to rest and replenish supplies. It also provides rental and sale of transportation mounts. The trade between countries also depends to a large extent on the role played by these post stations.

There are five countries in Lingwu Continent that have successfully established human regimes, namely Dongli, Xiliang, Nanshu, Beiyuan, and Sanshou.

For hundreds of years, since the demise of the psychics, the ancient royal clans have relied on the power of the rise of practitioners to expand their territories and compete for the best resources for survival and development on the continent.

Although there were occasional conflicts among the five nations, they all tacitly maintained superficial peace in the face of threats from non-human alien races on the continent.

In addition to the areas where the five countries are located, there are still some areas in Lingwu Continent that have not yet been set foot by humans, and some are lawless places occupied by various forces and are constantly fighting.

The five countries that have established their own regimes are already the most peaceful and tranquil places in Lingwu Continent. The post station, as a neutral organization outside of the game between countries, is protected by the local government but has no management qualifications. It is the safest place to stay for practitioners of any identity or ordinary people.

After sending Xia Xi to the post station, A Ming drove a wooden cart to deliver the remaining medicine barrels to the nearby town.

In Ye Sheng's words, this is called a full performance.

It was still early, and the post station was relatively deserted, with only a few businessmen sitting there drinking tea and resting.

A thin middle-aged man with a mustache was sitting in the middle of the hall, in a cabinet door with a half-foot window.

"Postmaster, I want to rent a mount."

Xia Xi knew at a glance that this was the person in charge.

"No more, no more."

The middle-aged man frowned and fiddled with the abacus in his hand, responding without raising his head.

"Is there any for sale? I can buy it if I need it in a hurry."

Xia Xi thought about it again and decided that he couldn't save money on the mount, so he added,

“I want the most expensive! The best!”

The postmaster was about to say no but swallowed it back because of Xia Xi's words.

"You mean, the most expensive one?"

With a pair of shrewd eyes moving quickly, Su Yichen smiled and put down the abacus in his hand.

"Do you have enough money? Good things are not cheap."

Xia Xi fumbled in his luggage and took out the most valuable and only intermediate spirit stone he had.

"I'm in a hurry, give me the fastest one."

When Su Yichen saw the spiritual stone, his eyes lit up immediately and even his tone became much softer.

"You are welcome to come, guest. I do have a spiritual beast that is very suitable for non-practitioners."

"Spiritual beast? Suitable for me?"

Five months ago, the post station spent a large sum of money to purchase an egg several times larger than an ordinary spirit beast egg in a remote area. They thought it would hatch some rare spirit beast, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the most common low-level spirit beast - the sticky crocodile.

Unfortunately, this slime crocodile has a larger body than other slime crocodiles, but its movements are very clumsy. Any traveler with a little common sense would not want it.

Although a spiritual beast without spiritual energy, its appetite is astonishing. After a few months, it is simply a nightmare.

The business of the post station has been bad these days, which makes Su Yicheng worried every day, not knowing how to get rid of the business.

Full of expectations, Xia Xi followed the postmaster to the straw shed where the mounts were kept, but was startled by the creature in front of him.

"This, is a spirit beast???" Her voice rose unconsciously because of shock.

The slime crocodile's form was similar to the crocodiles she had known in the past.

The slimy crocodile in front of him was more than two meters long, with lifeless eyes and dull gaze. Its scales were covered with dark green mucus, and something that should be saliva flowed from its right conical teeth onto the hay in the straw hut from time to time. Scattered all over its body were piles of stinking meat and bones that had been gnawed.

She really couldn't imagine that such a heavy-mouthed spirit beast was a spirit beast? ?

Seeing the hesitant expression on Xia Xi's face, Su Yichen spoke again.

"This is a real spiritual beast. If you weren't in a hurry to get on the road, I wouldn't be willing to sell it to you. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to have it again."

Although it doesn't look very good, since it is a spiritual beast, it is always better than ordinary mounts.

Unable to resist the instigation of the postmaster, Xia Xi finally gritted her teeth and reluctantly handed the intermediate spirit stone in her hand to Su Yichen.

Su Yichen snatched the spirit stone with a smile on his face. Fearing that she would regret it, he immediately imprinted the spirit that was peeled off when the sticky crocodile was born into Xia Xi's palm.

"Congratulations, guest! It is now your spirit animal!"

This intermediate spirit stone can be exchanged for at least 100,000 gold coins!

Looking at the slimy crocodile in front of him, Xia Xi felt as if his heart was bleeding.

"My hundred thousand gold..."

Jinquan City on the other side.

Ye Sheng knew that the truth would come out sooner or later, so after daybreak, he confessed the fact that his younger sister had left to the Ye couple in Ye's father's study.

"How could you help your sister escape from marriage? Why did she run away with such a good marriage? What can she tell us? How could she follow her third brother's example?"

Upon suddenly learning that his daughter had left home, Ye's father paced back and forth in the study, at a loss.

"No! Go, go and get her back!" The old father said as he pushed Ye Sheng toward the door. "Even if you don't agree to the marriage, you still have to give an explanation to Yanjiabao."

"Oh! Dad! You are confused!"

After much consideration, Ye Sheng finally expressed what he had been thinking.

"Dad, think about it carefully. My little sister has been mentally retarded for sixteen years and has only recovered for half a year. She has never been out of the house. How could someone from Yanjiabao come to propose marriage? Think about it again. Isn't it strange that the Rain-Awakening Grass that can only be grown in Yanjiabao came from nowhere? Although my little sister didn't say it, everyone in Dongli knows the rules of Yanjiabao. If this medicine came from a legitimate source, it would be fine, but what I'm afraid of is, oh!"

Having said this, Ye Sheng let out a long sigh.

"Then what will happen to my baby Xier?... What should I do?" After hearing Ye Sheng's words, Ye's mother, who was unaware of the situation, finally understood and began to cry and worry about her daughter's safety.

Ye's father also suddenly realized and looked regretful. He must have failed to realize it and almost sent his daughter into danger.

"Oh! It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Sheng'er, you must find a way to protect your sister! Your mother and I will listen to you!"

"Yes, yes, listen to my son's idea!"

After calming his parents, Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had passed the most difficult hurdle.

"Don't be sad, you two elders. As long as they don't know where my little sister is, she is safe.

Now that they didn't mention anything about the herbs and only said they were proposing a marriage, it's easy for us to handle. When it comes to marriage, even for the royal family, we can't blatantly force them to get married.

I have asked my younger sister to look for Ye Zhan. Beiyuan is not Dongli's territory, and Cangjie is the largest sect of practitioners there. Even if Yanjiabao finally knows where my younger sister is, they can't hurt her.

A few days later, we announced to the public that our sister had contracted a serious illness and immediately rejected this ill-intentioned marriage proposal."
