Socially awkward female cultivator survives in the cultivation world through online games

However, before Chu Yunyi could fully relax, the old man spoke again.

"Immortal, please save our village! People in our village keep disappearing without a trace. I've tried everything to help, but nothing works. Please, Immortal, have mercy and save us! Please, Immortal, save us! Please, Immortal, save us!"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man began to kowtow heavily in the direction of Chu Yunyi again, one kowtow after another, without showing any sign of stopping.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yunyi was so frightened that she quickly jumped aside.

She had never encountered such a situation before and was at a loss for what to do.

She hopped aside like a startled rabbit, her face full of embarrassment, and stammered,

“Um… sir, please stand up and speak first, don’t kneel! Your kneeling and kowtowing really frightened me.”

Faced with this sudden situation, she felt helpless.

After all, being forced to kneel before someone was something that had never happened to her before, and it was completely beyond her expectations.

At that moment, she was in a state of panic, her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

The old man did not seem to heed her advice and remained kneeling on the ground, but at least he stopped kowtowing.

He raised his wrinkled, weathered face and called out to her in an almost pleading tone.

"Immortal, please have mercy and save our poor village! I'll do anything to save our village!"

The old man's voice trembled, filled with endless pain and longing.

"Grandpa, please don't rush. Tell me slowly what happened in your village."

In fact, Chu Yunyi didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters.

She planned that after listening to the old man finish explaining the situation, she would tell him to go to the city and find someone more capable than himself to solve the problem.

Moreover, it's somewhat illogical that this old man would travel all the way to this Xiyu Forest to seek help from a cultivator!

However, it seemed a bit unreasonable to refuse so directly, so Chu Yunyi decided to patiently listen to the old man's experiences in the village.

Strangely enough, the mortals Chu Yunyi had met in other towns before all had excellent physical abilities. Even though they couldn't embark on the path of cultivation, their strength was far greater than that of the people on the Blue Star where she used to live.

However, the old man in front of her seemed different. Chu Yunyi keenly noticed that the old man's body was unusually weak, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

She felt a pang of compassion and thought that if she really needed help, it probably wouldn't be a big problem to call Hua Qi over to lend a hand.

"My lord! You must help us! Lately, for some reason, someone keeps disappearing from our little village every day, sometimes even several. As the village head, I've tried everything to find these missing villagers, but I just can't find them."

I was truly desperate, which is why I traveled all this way to beg for your help! I heard that immortals often appear around here, so I came to look for them on a whim, and that's how I found you.”

"Oh? So that's how it is. Well, old man, in your situation, you should have gone to the city to seek help from the immortals first, since there are many people in the city."

"You could even go to the Justice Hall; it might be easier to resolve there. Why did you come to this desolate place to look for it?"
