Chapter 202 Rescue

Returning to her old haunts and finding herself homeless, Wen Li was somewhat dejected, but Shen Yingsi didn't seem to be affected at all; perhaps he had already anticipated this.

He held her hand and kept walking up the mountain.

"Ah Si, where are we going?"

"go home."

Wen Li looked back at the location of the house, then at the deep mountains in front of her, and felt a little puzzled.

They found a hidden cave entrance and pulled her inside. Inside the small, ordinary cave, Wen Li was filled with confusion.

"Shen Xianzhe, you call this hole your home?"

Shen Yingsi patted her head and said, "Wait, I'll conjure up a palace for you."

"palace?"

Wen Li watched as Shen Yingsi's hands changed. Without even blinking, the scene before her suddenly changed. The mud and sand under her feet turned into stone slabs, the cave turned into a magnificent palace under a blue sky.

Behind me stretched an endless orchard; it felt like springtime, with peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Is this the legendary paradise?

"Would you like to take a look around?"

Shen Yingsi pulled her inside, while the Second Master ran in first.

This palace is like a celestial palace; you could walk for a long time and still not see it all, no matter how much you looked at it, there were ponds, gardens, hot springs...

It can accommodate at least a thousand people.

It's so beautiful here, it's dazzling, almost unreal, but the sunlight on Wen Li feels warm.

She looked up at the sun in the sky and asked, "Where is this place?"

Shen Yingsi smiled and said, "The space I've created is outside the Three Realms, so we can live here forever. After that, no one will be able to find us anymore?"

Wen Li stared at a fish in the pond. It swam back and forth along the same route over and over again, without blowing a single bubble for a long time.

"When did you start creating this space?"

Shen Yingsi answered truthfully: "Two years ago, I was afraid of failure, so I didn't tell you. This space was created half a year ago, and everything in it was created by me."

Two years ago, spiritual energy was scarce, and even things like jade pendant spaces became increasingly precious, mostly products from hundreds of years ago. Yet, he was still able to create his own space.

For two years they were inseparable, but his cultivation level increased several times faster than hers. Was such a person going to be stuck by her side for the rest of his life?

"What's wrong? Don't you like it here?"

Wen Li shook her head, looking at the happy Second Master at her feet, "He likes it, and Second Master seems to like it too."

"How about we stay here for the rest of our lives? We have everything here, and no one can bother us anymore."

Shen Yingsi held her hand, lowering his eyes to try and see her expression. But Wen Li's head was lowered so low that he couldn't see anything.

After a long while, Shen Yingsi finally heard her voice, "Let's go out first."

She suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore, because it was very likely that she would spend the rest of her life hiding here.

Thinking about this, she no longer wanted to stay here.

This place is wonderful; every corner is to her liking. It's practically her dream home. She originally thought that with Shen Yingsi and the Second Master, she could be happy anywhere, but other thoughts lingered in her mind…

"Ah Li, outside..."

"I know!"

Wen Li looked up at him. "I understand what you mean. Can you let me think about it some more? Anyway, we still have time. We can sneak in anytime, anywhere."

Wen Li was a little impatient. Shen Yingsi looked at her with a gentle, considerate, and obedient expression. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

He could wait; he believed that Wen Li would eventually agree.

He pulled her into his arms, and in the blink of an eye, they were back in the cave. The Second Master was playing in the water when it suddenly returned from a warm, bright place to this cold, desolate cave. It barked twice in dissatisfaction, but neither of them paid it any attention.

When Wenli brought out its doghouse, it reluctantly crawled inside.

They simply made a makeshift bed on the floor, lit a fire, and spent the night there.

……

They stayed there for two days, and Shen Yingsi accompanied Wen Li to many places nearby.

To be honest, the situation is pretty much the same everywhere; there's nothing fun about it, and it actually makes people feel inexplicably depressed.

That day, they climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down at the beautiful scenery. Second Uncle was sleeping peacefully in his doghouse. They sat on the edge of the cliff and chatted for a long time.

Wen Li brought up Shen Yingsi's space.

"Can the trees in your space bear fruit? Can you eat the fruit?"

Shen Yingsi suppressed a smile and replied, "It can bear fruit and be eaten. You can even grow crops behind the palace. You didn't see the whole thing the other day. The scenery behind the palace is just as good as this. The mountains there are even higher, and there are waterfalls and rivers."

Wen Li listened and thought that living there for the rest of her life would be quite nice.

"Shen Xianzhi, I'm willing to stay in that place with you for the rest of my life. Actually, thinking about it, as long as we're together, I'll be happy no matter where we are or what we do..."

Before Wen Li could finish speaking, cries for help came from behind her.

"Help! Help! Save us..."

"Save us..."

Behind them were Aunt Xu and several villagers from the foot of the mountain. They were panicked and terrified, and seeing them was like seeing a lifeline.

Everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly until their foreheads bled, but they didn't stop.

Wen Li couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Suddenly, several monsters appeared at the foot of the mountain, saying they were looking for some Demon Lord, and if they couldn't find him, they would kill us all..."

"They were incredibly terrifying; they killed so many people in one go..."

"Please save us, we want to live..."

Aunt Xu clung to Wen Li's legs, weeping and pleading, "Your Uncle Xu is still in the house down the mountain. He fell ill half a year ago and can't get out of bed now. Please, please save him, please... please help us again, for the sake of how well I took care of you back then..."

"You are good people, you must save us, my children are still down there."

They were crying pitifully. Wenli knew all of these people: Aunt Xu who brewed medicine for her, Aunt Xu who encouraged and cared for her, the uncle who took her to pick wild fruit, and the aunt who taught her how to pick tea...

“Ah Li”.

Wen Li turned to look at Shen Yingsi and said, "Aunt Xu has been kind to us. After we save them, we will leave."

Shen Yingsi did not agree, but just looked at her, a silent rejection.

"Xiao Shen, please save him..."

Aunt Xu kowtowed to Shen Yingsi, crying as she spoke. When she looked up, she met Shen Yingsi's murderous gaze and shut her mouth in fright. She turned away and continued to plead with Wen Li, tugging at her clothes.

Wen Li turned around and looked down, and suddenly noticed that Aunt Xu's hand, which was holding her clothes, was missing two fingers. She remembered that this hand had helped her comb her hair when she got married.

They suffered this calamity because of her, and she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Wen Li stopped looking at Shen Yingsi and said to the villagers, "You wait here, I'll take care of those monsters down the mountain."

"Ah Li!"

Hearing Shen Yingsi's voice, Wen Li simply said, "You wait here too, I'll be right back."

Watching her fly off the cliff, someone worriedly said, "Can she manage alone? That monster leader has several heads."

Several heads? Nine-Headed Serpent?

Thinking of this, Shen Yingsi immediately chased after him.
