What kind of girl would travel to another world?

In the previous chapter, Qi Xinyang and his group stopped at a tribe called the Hidden Mountain Sect, where they planned to learn combat techniques for a while. Meanwhile, Wei Qingping, along with the Swordsman King, was heading towards a lake.

After hearing King Jianhao's story about the failed invasion of the Demon Realm, Wei Qingping became terrified that there were demons in this other world. Furthermore, King Jianhao described the demons as terrifying. She quickly asked King Jianhao, "Ah? So, the demons are coming in even larger numbers? Where are they?"

The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "Oh, that's not the case. The situation was a bit complicated at that time. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's hurry on our way! Let's talk about it after we get to the lake. I've been hungry for a long time. We still have to catch fish when we get there. We can talk slowly while I grill the fish." His mind was a little confused at the moment because of the past, and he didn't know how to briefly explain the situation at that time.

The two of them walked along a bumpy road under the scorching sun before finally arriving at the lake on the top of the mountain that the Swordsman King had mentioned.

Wei Qingping was moved when she saw the lake. She muttered, "Isn't it said that other worlds always have hot springs or beaches? I never expected that I would see a lake first..."

Walking to the edge of the lake, the Swordsman King asked Wei Qingping, "What kind of nonsense do you usually see?"

Wei Qingping replied to the Swordsman King, "Anime, online novels, and..."

The Swordsman King quickly stopped Wei Qingping and said, "Okay, okay! You are still planning to recommend it to me, right? Drink the water if you want to, and save water if you want to, because I'm going to go down and fish soon." After that, he began to take off his shoes and rolled up his pants.

Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Will the water in this lake not flow? Wouldn't that make it a 'Dead Sea'?"

King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "Of course the water in the lake is flowing. What are you thinking about? The water here will flow to the lower place and flow south to the border town of this country." Having said that, he was ready to go into the water to catch fish.

Wei Qingping came to the lake and filled her water bag with water while asking the Swordsman King, "You want to catch fish with your bare hands?"

King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "There's nothing I can do. I forgot to ask you to buy a fishing rod, so I have no choice but to go straight into the water."

After Wei Qingping filled the water bag, she asked King Jianhao, "Yes, why didn't you let me buy a fishing rod?"

King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "I..." He was hesitant to speak, as Wei Qingping really made him speechless. He thought to himself, "Why does this little girl ask so many unnecessary questions? It's really annoying..." Thinking of this, he went straight down to the lake.

Seeing that the Swordsman King didn't answer and went straight into the water, Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King: "Oh, you want a fishing rod. If you want it, just tell me clearly. If you want it, I will buy it. Of course I won't refuse to buy it if you want it. It's impossible that you say you want it and I won't buy it, but you say you don't want it but I insist on buying it..."

The Swordsman King didn't want to bother with Wei Qingping at all, and instead focused on looking for fish in the lake. After a while, when he saw no fish in the shallow water, he said to Wei Qingping, "Stop talking there, light the bonfire first!" Then, he plunged directly into the lake, looking for fish in the deeper waters.

Wei Qingping immediately looked around, but besides some rocks, she couldn't see any suitable materials. Luckily, she was near a water source, so finding materials for a fire wasn't difficult. She then left her bag where it lay and began searching the nearby weed-covered area for dry branches, grass, and leaves.

The Swordsman King, who was fishing in the lake, would float to the surface and throw the fish onto the shore every time he caught a fish.

Just like that, when the Swordsman King felt that he had caught enough, he walked out of the lake.

At this time, Wei Qingping also successfully lit the bonfire. Afterwards, after a simple preparation of the fish, they also successfully grilled the fish.

While the fish was still hot, Wei Qingping started asking more questions. She asked the Swordsman King, "You still have a lot to say. And about lock picking, can you teach me?" She suddenly became very curious about lock picking.

The Swordsman King asked Wei Qingping, "Why are you learning this? Don't you have magic?"

Wei Qingping replied to the Swordsman King, "I'm just asking because I'm bored. It's always good to have more skills."

The Swordsman King said to Wei Qingping, "Besides, there's nothing to teach you. There's no lock here. And I'm using it to save my life. You have magic that can save your life yourself."

Hearing this, Wei Qingping asked the Swordsman King again, "Huh? When was the last time you used a lockpick to save yourself?"

The Swordsman King replied to Wei Qingping, "I can't remember, but this seems to be the first time I've used a lockpick to save myself. Before, I used it to save others..."

Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Who else have you saved?"

King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "That's quite a lot..."

The two of them finished eating the grilled fish while chatting.

After eating the grilled fish, the Swordsman King sat alone by the lake and started throwing stones into the lake.

After watching for a while, Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Are you fighting with the lake?"

The Swordsman King was speechless after hearing this and thought to himself, "If you say fewer useless words, you probably won't be so annoying." He turned around and replied to Wei Qingping, "There is a giant sword of mine in the lake, and I'm considering whether to take it out." After saying that, he continued to look at the lake.

After hearing this, Wei Qingping looked towards the lake and asked King Jianhao, "Did he fall in while taking a bath?" After that, she took out the water bag and drank some water.

The Swordsman King was speechless again, thinking to himself, "Who would take a bath with a sword on his shoulder?" Then he told Wei Qingping, "I don't know how many years ago, but at that time I remembered something unhappy, and on impulse I threw the giant sword in." These words were also unclear, and it was obvious that he was concealing something.

Wei Qingping lost interest after hearing this and said to the Swordsman King, "Then when did you throw it away? It must have been rusted after being thrown into the water. What can you do with it after taking it out?" After saying that, she lay down on the grass and planned to take a nap.

The Sword Master King said to Wei Qingping, "The quality of that giant sword may not rust."

After hearing this, Wei Qingping immediately sat up and said to the Swordsman King, "Wow! That's a good thing! We must take it out. It's better if you don't give it to me. If the giant sword wasn't so heavy, I would definitely go down and get it myself." She had seen pictures of giant swords on the Internet and knew that giant swords were very heavy.

King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "Well, let's talk about it later. I'll take a nap first. When I wake up, I'll consider whether to take it or not." After that, he lay down beside the lake and closed his eyes.

Now, let's talk about Qi Xinyang again. After spending a leisurely afternoon, Xiaohuatou came to find them. When Xiaohuatou came in, Youke and Xiaojiao were playing with Xiaoye.

The little rascal told Qi Xinyang and the others, "I asked the chief at noon, and he said it has been arranged. Just let me take you there." After that, she sat down next to the coffee table and started playing with "Xiao Ye".

Afterwards, the little rascal chatted with them for a few more words and said to them, "Let's go! Let's not take this 'Xiao Ye' with us."

Qi Xinyang said to You Ke, "You Ke, tie it to the table and don't let it run around. If it gets lost, it will be hard to find it in the mountains."

After leaving "Xiao Ye" in the room, they went to the big house in the compound together.

Just when Qi Xinyang and the others arrived at the big house, they happened to hear the conversation between the chief and Yingping Youzi.

The chief said to Yingping Youzi, "Don't worry about that old man. Let him steal. I know who that old man is."

Yingping Youzi asked the chief, "Hey, Daddy, who is that old man?"

When the chief saw that it was Qi Xinyang and the others who arrived, he immediately said to Yingping Youzi, "Don't ask any more questions. Listen to me, don't provoke him."

As soon as the little rascal came before the chief he said, "Chief, they are coming!"

The chief said to the little rascal, "Alright! Take them up there directly. I've already arranged for everyone to do all the necessary things before the worship."

Just like that, the little rascal led Qi Xinyang and the others upstairs.

After following the little rascal to the second floor, Qi Xinyang was stunned. Everywhere was covered with exquisite portraits of "Kunpeng", the walls were covered with reliefs of various scenes, and there were also "Kunpeng" column carvings on the pillars. They all looked lifelike.

However, Xiaojiao's focus was different from Qi Xinyang's. She was looking at the floor beneath her feet.

Little Foot said in surprise: "Wow! The floor can glow!" He couldn't take his eyes off the floor.

The little sly guy told Little Foot, "It's not the floor that's shining, it's the reflected light. When it gets dark, it won't be so bright anymore."

After letting out a long "Oh", the little foot asked the little rascal, "Then...is this made of metal?" After that, he squatted down and knocked on the floor.

The little rascal told Little Foot, "Be gentle, don't knock it. There is a thin layer of metal on each wooden board, and then a thin layer of crystal board on top. Look at the patterns and carvings on the metal surface under the crystal board, they are so exquisite." She was proud when she said that.

You Ke was also fascinated by it and asked the little rascal, "This must cost a lot of money, right?" As he said that, he also squatted down and touched the floor.

The little rascal told You Ke, "It's not just about money."

When Qi Xinyang saw the "Kunpeng" statue placed in the innermost center, she pretended to be surprised and said to the little rascal: "Oh! That's exactly the appearance of the mythical beast in my dream! Oh my God! I saw the mythical beast again here after we met on the mountain!" After that, she knelt down directly in front of the statue.

The little rascal said to Qi Xinyang, "That's right! That's the statue of the mythical beast."

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "It must be this one!" Thinking of this, she immediately rushed to the statue, slid down on her knees, and pretended to cry.

The little rascal asked Qi Xinyang, "What are you doing?"

Qi Xinyang immediately realized that he might have done something wrong, and he began to feel uneasy and stopped pretending to cry.

Yu Ke looked at the statue and asked the little rascal, "How should we worship this statue?"

The little rascal told You Ke, "Who said we were worshipping the statue? The statue of the mythical beast is on the second floor, but to worship the mythical beast you have to go upstairs."

Qi Xinyang wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Oh, I'm exposed! Fortunately, You Ke was standing in front." She immediately said to the little rascal, "Oh, you're so excited to see the mythical beast. Take us to worship it now." She was in an awkward situation, but fortunately she managed to get away with it.

The little rascal said to Qi Xinyang, "Okay!" After that, she walked towards the stairs.

Qi Xinyang glanced back and saw that Xiao Jiao was still lying on the ground admiring the carvings on the floor. She immediately shouted to Xiao Jiao, "Xiao Jiao! We're going upstairs!" Then she followed Xiao Jiao up the stairs.

When Xiaojiao heard this, she immediately stood up and followed.

While going up the stairs, Qi Xinyang said to You Ke, "Speaking of mythical beasts, I also know of a mythical beast that is related to fire." The mythical beasts she was talking about were also related to Chinese mythology.

When You Ke heard that there were mythical beasts related to the fire element, she immediately asked Qi Xinyang curiously, "Sister, what mythical beast is it?"

After hearing the conversation between the two people behind him, the little rascal said to them, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't talk about the mythical beasts worshipped by other tribes here. No one likes to hear it."

Qi Xinyang whispered to You Ke, "I'll tell you when we get back."

In this way, they arrived at the roof of the big house. There was a large altar here, and they could see the open sky when they looked up.

Looking at the layout of the altar, Xiaojiao immediately thought of the Divine Beast Mountain. Aside from the absence of the Divine Beast Stone, everything else seemed to connect. He asked Xiaohuatou, "Which tribe's Divine Beast is the Divine Beast Stone on Divine Beast Mountain?"

The little rascal told Xiaojiao, "Of course it's the sacred beast worshipped by our tribe." Her tone and eyes revealed determination.

Little Foot then asked Little Sly, "How did the mythical beast become a mythical beast stone?"

The little rascal told Xiaojiao, "Legend has it that there was once an immortal. It is said that he could control divine beasts. One day, he saw a very large fish by the water, which was the Kun. He rode on the Kun... (the middle part is too long, omitted)... In the end, the divine beast stayed on the Divine Beast Mountain and turned into a huge stone." After she finished speaking, her face was full of pride.

After the little rascal finished telling the story, You Ke said to Qi Xinyang, "Sister, this story is similar to what you said."

Qi Xinyang followed You Ke's words and continued to make up a lie. She said to You Ke, "Of course! I already said that the mythical beast I worship is Kunpeng! Of course the story is the same." After saying that, she glanced at the little rascal.

The little rascal asked Qi Xinyang and the others, "Why? Did you already know this story?"

Little Foot said to Little Sly, "Our big sister told us this story before."

The little rascal's face was all smiles at this moment, and he said happily to Qi Xinyang and the others, "That's great! After you leave the tribe, you must tell this story to more people!"

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Okay... I've become a 'missionary'. I dare not do that, for fear of getting burned..." Although she didn't want to do this in her heart, she still agreed.

The little rascal walked to the center of the altar, pointed at it, and said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "Come on! Bring in the sacrifice!"

When Qi Xinyang heard the word "sacrifice", he was stunned!

So, how will Qi Xinyang respond? We’ll talk about it in the next chapter.
