[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Unaware of the grievances Wei Ying and Qi Ye suffered after she left, Wei Chaoyan followed Yan Qing and the others out of the back door of the cloth shop and saw a person in gray-green clothes leading four magnificent horses waiting at the door.

Wei Chaoyan stared in surprise and curiosity at the four spirited horses. To be honest, this was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had seen real, living horses in front of her. In her previous life, she had only seen images of them on television.

After the shock, Wei Chaoyan immediately had a thought and silently said to 001, "001, activate the live broadcast empathy mode."

"Ding, receiving instructions from the host, immediately activate Empathy Mode. Empathy Mode will be officially activated in ten seconds. Please get ready in the live stream! Ten, nine, eight, ... three, two, one, beep, Empathy Mode successfully activated. We hope you all have a brand new experience!" Number 001 received Wei Chaoyan's order and activated a new module added to the live stream without hesitation—Empathy Mode.

The so-called empathic mode, as the name suggests, allows all viewers to experience the streamer's current situation as if they were actually traveling to another world.

"Hehe, come on an adventure with me!" Wei Chaoyan said with a wicked smile, using her mind to speak to the bewildered netizens in the live stream who had been suddenly pulled into a real sensory world by the empathy mode.

This was a "special treatment" that Wei Chaoyan secretly obtained by pestering 001 when she decided to develop a new map for live streaming to attract viewers' favorability. Although this "special treatment" cost her few remaining favorability points, Wei Chaoyan carefully checked the emotional fluctuation values ​​of the viewers in the live stream after the mode was activated through the system backend and found—hey! This favorability was totally worth it! She figured she would definitely make a fortune from this live stream! It wouldn't have been for nothing that she had shamelessly pestered 001 for so long.

Thinking of this, Wei Chaoyan said urgently in her heart, "001, start the live broadcast room's popularity score statistics and broadcast program!"

"Ding! The live stream's likes statistics broadcast program has been activated and is currently running! Since the streamer is currently live, in order not to disturb the streamer's live stream, the mute mode has been automatically activated. If the streamer wants to check the details of all the likes received, they can check the system backend during their spare time. Please concentrate on the live stream and do not be distracted by other things. Note that the likes statistics broadcast can only be heard and viewed by the streamer."

Upon hearing 001's reply, Wei Chaoyan lowered her head and smiled, her eyes crinkling, dispelling the dejection she had felt upon waking up that morning.

It's a long story, but it actually happened in just a few breaths. Wei Chaoyan smiled and looked up expectantly at Wei Qing, who hadn't noticed anything, and asked, "Uncle Yan, what's this horse?"

Yan Qing glanced at Wei Chaoyan and said in a calm tone, "The place we're going to is quite far, so riding a horse will be faster."

Just as Wei Chaoyan was about to say that she had never ridden a horse before and didn't know how to ride, Yan Qing seemed to know what she was about to say and said in a deep voice, "You and I will ride the same horse, Miss Wei, you don't need to worry."

Having said all that Yan Qing had to say, Wei Chaoyan had nothing more to say. She obediently climbed onto the lead horse with Yan Qing's help. Once she was settled, Yan Qing swiftly flipped herself onto the horse and sat behind Wei Chaoyan.

After mounting his horse, he skillfully held the reins with his left hand and lightly supported Wei Chaoyan's waist with his right. Without turning around, he commanded in a deep voice to the three men behind him who were also skillfully mounting their horses, "Go!"

With that, he flicked the reins with his left hand, and the intelligent horse beneath him understood and galloped off towards the mass grave outside Yiling Town.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness as they sped up made Wei Chaoyan, who was on horseback, and most netizens who had no experience of riding horses scream in surprise.

Wei Chaoyan's sharp cry of alarm made Yan Qingwei behind her furrow her thick eyebrows almost imperceptibly. She calmly reassured her, "It's alright, don't panic. Just sit still. I'll support you from behind."

The man's calm and reassuring voice beside her calmed Wei Chaoyan's suddenly startled and pounding heart. As her heartbeat gradually returned to normal, Wei Chaoyan regained her composure. Feeling a little embarrassed about her outburst, she lowered her head and shyly replied in a low voice, "Okay, I understand," before falling silent and quietly enjoying her first horseback riding experience with the viewers in the live stream.

The four fine horses sent by Lady Yan were undoubtedly priceless treasures. In no time, they swept past the town like a gentle breeze and reached its entrance. Once outside Yiling Town, the roads were rugged, uneven, and difficult to traverse. However, thanks to Yan Qing's superb horsemanship and the perfect coordination of her steeds, Wei Chaoyan felt no jolts and instead felt as if she were walking on flat ground.

During the live stream, Wei Chaoyan praised Yan Qing's superb horsemanship and the extraordinary beauty of her horse, which garnered many likes from netizens.

After chatting with netizens for a while, Wei Chaoyan finally had time to look around at her surroundings. Although the horse was galloping at lightning speed and the scenery around her was fleeting, Wei Chaoyan still noticed that there were mountains of all sizes and heights all around, covered with bare trees and clumps of withered yellow grass.

Having galloped for an unknown amount of time, Wei Chaoyan grew weary and noticed that the deep mountains on either side were receding into the distance, their outlines becoming faintly visible only in the corner of her eye. Before she could even reflect on the vastness of the journey, a sudden, inexplicable, chilling sense of dread crept up her spine. Her survival instincts kicked in, causing her to instinctively shiver and curl into a trembling ball. The horse beneath her had also stopped its rapid gallop, its nostrils flaring with hot, white breath as it paced restlessly in circles. Sensing the abnormality and danger, Yan Qing and her three companions tensed their robust bodies, rhythmically shaking the reins to try and calm their restless horses. Their other hands cautiously drew weapons from behind them, watching with wary eyes as a towering, continuous wall of incantations surrounded a dark, deathly mountain shrouded in black mist. It resembled a colossal, thousand-year-old corpse lying prone, slumbering but poised to erupt at any moment, its body radiating a chilling, sinister aura. Even a single glance across the incantation wall was the most difficult test of courage for Wei Chaoyan and the viewers in the live stream—children born in a peaceful era! (Some descriptions of the mass grave are taken from the original novel, Chapter Twelve, "Three Poisons")

Is this the infamous and infamous first place of evil in the demonic path—the Yiling Burial Mound?! Wei Chaoyan thought in a daze, her heart pounding with fear.
