Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Chapter 18: There are so many talented and extraordinary people!

Cheng Yunmo was actually holding Cui Ming, wearing someone else's body, and no one noticed her.

She had just overheard DouDou's mother arguing with DouDou's father and wanted to go over and say something, but she was surprised by what DouDou's mother said. She looked at DouDou's father with some surprise.

But, turning stones into gold, and even making it rain, wow, are all the extraordinary people in this time and space so amazing?

"Then, Cheng Yunmo thought for a moment, this is at most a mobile granary?"

They were the kind of people who were very poor and could barely make ends meet.

No wonder I've always been worried that I'll be seen as a monster or something; I rarely feel that way in this time and space.

I always thought that it was because I could provide food and had some value that no one talked about it.

It turns out that there are so many amazing people in this era.

Lord Liu never expected that his words would cause such a trouble.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, really..."

DouDou's mother said without any politeness, "We'll definitely pretend we didn't hear that!"

Liu, feeling embarrassed, prepared to leave, and the villagers who were with him were also somewhat ashamed to face anyone.

As he was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly reminded her, "Madam, listen to me. It is said that the emperor of Xicheng Kingdom has many powerful people under his command. They can turn the skills of people with special abilities into their own. Now that Huangshanling has saved so many people, the news has probably already spread."

Upon hearing this, DouDou's parents realized that what Lord Liu was saying was truly for their benefit.

"What can we do then? There are already so few talented people, and those with great abilities are all dead. Now, only Huangshanling remains. With her abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for her to be murdered..."

Cheng Yunmo was stunned, and now he truly felt the terror.

What this Lord Liu said really gave her the feeling that she wouldn't live much longer.

"Even if Huang Shanling doesn't go to the palace to fight, it's only a matter of time before those people from Xicheng Kingdom find Huang Shanling here."

One of the villagers standing next to Lord Liu couldn't help but speak up.

He was telling the truth, even if it was unpleasant to hear.

Cheng Yunmo, "..."

She felt that she was no longer human, having somehow come from the modern world to ancient times, and now facing a life-or-death situation. In fact, she wanted to become human as soon as possible, instead of being nothing and destined to be regarded as a monster sooner or later.

"How about I try going to the palace?"

The group of people who were talking turned around and saw a strange woman holding a baby.

DouDou's father tentatively asked, "The spirit of the desolate mountain?"

"Well, I am."

Cheng Yunmo did not shy away from the topic and directly admitted her identity.

They were both quite surprised to see Cheng Yunmo like this after they first met her.

"What if you encounter danger?"

DouDou's mother subconsciously didn't want Cheng Yunmo to go, thinking it wasn't a good place.

"Don't worry, if the people of Xicheng can arrest someone like me, it's only a matter of time. Let me give it a try."

Lord Liu was originally a person who had no hope, but now that he could take Huangshan Ling away, he was somewhat reluctant.

After all, the Emperor couldn't have anyone protect Huangshan Ling now, and Huangshan Ling's abilities were indeed no match for those of the extraordinary people he had seen before. But now that she was the only one left, he had personally witnessed Huangshan Ling save many people, and those people left with food.

Not only that, but that terrifying shadow can now be controlled. Given more time, Huangshanling will surely grow stronger and stronger, just like the other extraordinary people he has encountered before, and will be able to protect more people.

"Lord Liu, shall we go?"

Cheng Yunmo entrusted Cui Ming to Dou Dou's mother's care and left them some rice.

Lord Liu hurried to the palace. On the way, Cheng Yunmo suddenly asked curiously, "If we're not human, won't we be harmed by some kind of dragon energy or something if we enter the palace?"

She had seen similar scenes in TV dramas before, so she couldn't help but ask.

Lord Liu, being a man of great experience, immediately sensed Huang Shanling's worry and sighed helplessly, saying, "I don't know about this matter either, but considering how many people you've saved, even if you possess the aura of a true dragon, you should be fine."

Cheng Yunmo was a little curious about the Emperor, so he asked some questions.

In just a short while, Cheng Yunmo realized that the emperor they were guarding wasn't always unable to stay lucid; he was actually a good emperor.

Over the years, however, he has often appeared dull and foolish, and with the Western Cheng Kingdom constantly eyeing him covetously, it has been a difficult job for these ministers.

After they arrived at the palace, Lord Liu explained the situation, and the guards' eyes immediately turned to her.

Cheng Yunmo noticed that there was not much malice in their eyes. Instead, they looked at her with some curiosity, and each of them looked extremely dehydrated.

She immediately set off, pulling out several stainless steel buckets filled with clean, drinkable water directly from her mind.

"I didn't know it only rained on the other side of the barren mountain. I'll leave this for you to drink."

Lord Liu had lived in the desolate mountains before, so he knew the rules of the desolate mountain spirit. He quickly said from the side, "You have to do something for the desolate mountain spirit, otherwise you won't be able to get this water."

The guards' eyes held even more curiosity, their faces full of puzzlement.

Cheng Yunmo's gaze suddenly fell on a vacant lot near the city gate, and he pointed there and said, "Could that land be cultivated?"

Lord Liu gestured to the guards, who had been dealing with him for quite some time, and immediately sent a few men over.

In less than ten minutes, the land had been cleared.

Cheng Yunmo stood to the side and directly scattered vegetable seeds. In the blink of an eye, the seeds turned into lush green, edible vegetables.

At this moment, Cheng Yunmo looked at the water and realized that the guards could take it away.

Lord Liu understood and told the guards.

They went over to fetch water, and sure enough, they were able to get it.

The guards treated Huangshanling with even more kindness.

The appearance of the spirit of the desolate mountain also attracted the attention of many nobles in the palace.

The emperor was in the imperial study, and the eunuchs serving him couldn't help but light up when they heard that Lord Liu had really arrived.

They have a lot of inside information and already know that the spirit from the desolate mountain that Lord Liu brought back is truly capable.

Cheng Yunmo was invited inside, and they all withdrew.

This surprised Cheng Yunmo a little. She was meeting the Emperor for the first time. Was it really okay to leave her alone as a stranger?

However, this was also what she truly saw—the good emperor that Lord Liu spoke of.
