The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Not knowing what she had noticed, Ye Wanqing's eyes suddenly opened, and she met a pair of extremely clear and beautiful eyes. The owner of those eyes seemed a little frightened when he saw Ye Wanqing suddenly wake up, and stood up abruptly.

Ye Wanqing looked around and found herself in a thatched hut. Jiang Xu and Su Shaohuai were nowhere to be seen, so she guessed that they must have dispersed. She looked at the little girl in front of her who seemed a little frightened, and her heart moved.

The little girl in front of him had clear eyes and a pair of beautifully braided pigtails. Although she was wearing an old coarse cloth shirt with several patches, it was very clean. She met Ye Wanqing's eyes with curiosity and fear.

"Sister, are you okay? Are you feeling better now?"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly. "I'm fine. Thanks for your concern. What's your name? Where is this place?"

The little girl blinked, and the shock in her eyes disappeared. "Sister, my name is Xiaoyu, and this is my home. My home is in Luoshan Village."

Luoshan Village? Ye Wanqing had never heard of it, and she didn't see it on Xiao Yu's power distribution map. It seemed to be just a small, unknown place.

"Sister, you are so beautiful, even prettier than the sister Shanshan next door."

Ye Wanqing's lips curled slightly. This reminded her that the identity of "Ye Wanqing" had disappeared in the Tianling Realm. When she came out of the inner room, she was dressed as a man and looked completely different from before.

"Wow, sister, you are so amazing! You actually became a brother! Sister, do you also have the spiritual power that the village chief mentioned? I heard the village chief say that everyone outside has spiritual power, which is really amazing."

Xiaoyu's eyes were bright, and her eyes were full of yearning for the outside world.

Ye Wanqing suddenly opened the Ningyu in her hand, her eyes filled with a sense of calmness. "Xiaoyu, from now on, can you call me brother? This is a little secret between you and me."

Xiaoyu paused slightly, a look of doubt on her face, "But grandma also knows that you are a beautiful sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sound was heard outside the house, and Xiaoyu hurriedly ran to the door. When she came back in, she was holding an old lady with gray hair, and Xiaoyu was a little excited.

"Grandma, that sister has woken up."

"Really? That's great, girl. Did you get separated from your family? Why are you lying alone in the forest? It's very dangerous."

Ye Wanqing stood up. Noticing something strange about the old lady, her eyebrows twitched slightly. She helped her sit on a stool, "Hello, grandma. Thank you for saving my life. You can just call me Wanye."

"I'm indeed separated from my family, so may I ask, grandma, how do I get out of here?"

From the moment Ye Wan woke up, her spiritual consciousness and mental power penetrated the entire village, but she did not find any way out. It was obvious that there was a restriction.

"Miss Wanye, Luoshan Village is closed all year round. Only my son, the village chief, goes out occasionally. So he's the only one in the village who knows the way out. But he hasn't come back yet, so I, an old woman, can't help you."

Ye Wanqing frowned slightly, "Grandma, you don't have to say that. You've already done me a great favor by taking me in."

"Oh, girl, I'm blind and can't see anything, but I heard from Xiaoyu that you're very beautiful. So you have to cover up your face. If possible, it's best to dress up as a man."

Ye Wanqing was a man at the moment, and after all, the appearance of "Ye Wanqing" still had many "enemies" in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. But upon hearing the old lady's sudden and inexplicable words, her expression paused, her eyes flickering with a strange look, "Okay."

Late night

The whole village was quiet, with no other sounds except the occasional chirping of cicadas.

Ye Wanqing, dressed as a young man, came to the forest where the old lady said she had found herself. His mental power covered the entire forest, but he did not detect any fluctuations in spiritual power.

Suddenly, the space fluctuated.

Sikong half-knelt on the ground and said, "I am late. I hope Miss Ye will punish me."

When they arrived at the barrier formation of the Tianling Realm, Sikong and Ye Wanqing got separated. It was only just now that he sensed Ye Wanqing's breath, so he immediately broke through the space and came here.

"Get up, Sikong, have you noticed anything wrong?"

Sikong stood up and quietly sent out a stream of magic power, but found that all his magic power disappeared. His eyes flickered slightly, "Yes, Miss Ye, there is no spiritual power here, and there is an inexplicable force that can absorb the magic power I sent out."

Ye Wanqing's thoughts shifted. "Hmm, it can absorb the spiritual and magical energy emitted by others, and even block the way out. It seems that this seemingly peaceful little mountain village has some other secrets. This is quite interesting."

"But this is the Heavenly Spirit Realm after all. If you say there really is no spiritual power at all, I don't believe it."

In the Tianling Realm, Sikong completely recovered his original cultivation level of the Divine General Realm. If he wanted to get out, he could just tear the space apart, but he didn't have the ability to tear the space apart with Ye Wanqing, so he had to protect Ye Wanqing in secret.

There is no spiritual power here, and if any high-level medicinal herbs were left behind, it would not be a good thing for Xiaoyu's family. But as a token of gratitude, Ye Wanqing still left two herbs, one to nourish the body and the other to cure the old lady's eye disease, as a way of expressing gratitude.

Ye Wanqing stayed in the forest for three whole days but didn't find anything unusual. Not to mention spiritual beasts, she really couldn't sense any spiritual fluctuations at all.

It is obviously the Tianling Realm with abundant spiritual energy, but there is no spiritual energy at all. This is obviously strange, and she has also observed the lives of local villagers in secret.

They work from sunrise to sunset, men farm and women weave. There is really no spiritual power in the body of each villager. It is as if they have returned to the most primitive life, and the villagers have no objection to such a life.

It’s not so much that there is no objection, but rather that it has become a habit.

Ye Wanqing, who was originally meditating and practicing, sensed something. His eyes suddenly opened and he flashed away from the space.

At this time, the fluctuations of spiritual power became stronger and stronger, and several crying sounds continued to sound in the distance.

"No, Uncle Village Chief, I don't want to leave Luoshan Village. I don't want to leave my grandma."

Another male voice spoke earnestly, "Xiaoyu, don't you long for the spiritual life outside? If you marry the mayor's son, our Luoshan Village will be saved, and you can also cultivate spiritual power. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"I don't want it, Uncle Village Chief, I want my grandma, I want my grandma."

"Xiaoyu, uncle won't harm you. The mayor's son is also very handsome and a good match for you. Moreover, if you marry him, the mayor will give us Luoshan Village spiritual power. This way, your brother Cheng's leg disease and your grandmother's eye disease can be cured."

"Grandma's eye disease has recovered!"

"What did you say? Is this true? Okay, stop talking nonsense. Just consider this as your uncle begging you. If your brother Cheng's leg disease is not resolved, he won't live past the next month."

Xiaoyu was silent for a long time, but still sobbing, until another older voice sounded, and hope flashed in her eyes.

"Aqiang, please don't. Xiaoyu is still a child. There is always a way. We can always find another way, Aqiang!"

"Mom, there's no other way. We really have no other choice. Mom, our Luoshan Village really needs spiritual power. In order to wake them up, and for Ah Cheng's life, I really have to do this. Mom, I really don't want to..."

As he spoke, the man's already deep voice became choked with sobs, and the sounds of three people crying rang out at the same time.

"No, Xiaoyu, we can't delay any longer, we have to go."
