The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Presumably, these two were acting on orders from their master to protect them.

However, judging from the two's tracking skills and abilities, Yue Li began to speculate about the martial arts capabilities of this world.

It seems that everyone in this world learns external martial arts, after all, the two people following behind are the personal bodyguards of the most powerful people in the world.

Even the personal guards hadn't learned internal energy cultivation.

This means that the concept of internal energy does not exist in this world.

They also did not learn any internal energy cultivation techniques.

Since this world doesn't even have techniques for learning internal energy, it's even less likely that there are techniques for cultivating spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, Yue Li felt a sense of relief.

According to this line of thinking, with her current skills, she could handle hundreds of people in a face-to-face confrontation.

After reaching this conclusion, Yue Li's irritability from having to be busy at midday improved considerably.

With the next village just around the corner, Yue Li quickened her pace on horseback.

When Yue Li arrived at the village entrance, she realized that perhaps because this village was farther from the capital, it was not as wealthy as the previous two villages.

Moreover, standing at the entrance of the village, you can see a lush, verdant mountain behind the village.

Upon seeing this mountain, Yue Li was moved.

Since she came into this world, she has discovered that the spiritual energy in the mountains is the most abundant, followed by the forests, while the densely populated capital cities are the least spiritually rich.

The spiritual energy in the capital city is so minimal that it can no longer be absorbed by the body.

At that moment, Yue Li made a decision: no matter what the conditions were like in this village, she would find a way to register her household registration in this village.

Once she registers her household in this village, she will be able to build a house there, allowing her to cultivate herself in the mountains behind the village whenever she has time.

Of course, her idea of ​​buying a courtyard house in the capital had not changed.

You can buy a courtyard house in the capital and build a house in this village, so you can live in both places!

Having quickly decided on her future plans, Yue Li pulled on the reins, spurred her horse, and rode towards the village.

Although it is noon and everyone is having lunch, there are still quite a few children playing outside in the village.

Therefore, Yue Li's arrival quickly attracted the children's attention.

The children playing in the village were immediately intrigued when they saw a strange man riding a tall horse enter their village.

Perhaps because this place is relatively close to Kyoto, the children here are used to strangers, so they did not show any fear when Yue Li arrived. Instead, they curiously gathered around Yue Li.

However, the villagers here are clearly not comfortable letting so many children play alone in the village.

So when a group of children were about to gather around Yue Li, the adults from the village also came out of the courtyard next to her.

Seeing a group of children approaching a strange man leading a horse, the person who came out immediately stopped the children from moving forward.

Upon hearing the adults' voices, the previously mischievous children scattered in all directions.

Seeing the villagers' wariness towards her, Yue Li not only didn't feel disgusted, but instead smiled slightly.

She said that no matter how simple and honest the villagers are, they should not allow their children to get close to strangers.

She was certain she wouldn't harm the children, but what about the others?

She also noticed that among the group of children, there were two young girls mixed in.

Seeing that the children had all run away, the villagers who had come out approached Yue Li and looked her up and down. The oldest middle-aged man among them asked, "May I ask what brings this young man to our village?"

Looking at the middle-aged man who came out to take charge, Yue Li politely cupped her hands and said, "Excuse me, everyone. I have some things I want to take care of, but I don't know who your village chief is?"

Seeing Yue Li's politeness, the middle-aged man did not make things difficult for her, but asked in surprise, "Young man, do you have something to discuss with our village chief?"

"Yes, there are some things I need to discuss with your village chief."

Before things were settled, Yue Li didn't want to make it public knowledge that she wanted to settle down.

Fortunately, although the group was curious about what she wanted to do with their village chief, they didn't press the issue to find out more.

“Our village chief’s house is a bit further in. Since you’re looking for the village chief, please follow me,” the middle-aged man said.

Clearly, the middle-aged man intended to personally take Yue Li to the village chief's house.

"Thank you," Yue Li said.

"Young man, it's just a few steps, no need to be so polite." The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed by Yue Li's thanks.

On their way to the village chief's house, Yue Li learned from the middle-aged man that the village was called Qingshan Village.

Yue Li: ……

It seems she has an inextricable connection with Qingshan Village in this lifetime!

When I first transmigrated, I arrived in Qingshan Village. I traveled a long way to Kyoto, and the village I wanted to settle in was also called Qingshan Village.

Looking at the big mountain behind the village, Yue Li joked, "Could the name 'Green Mountain Village' come from that big mountain behind the village?"

"Hey, young man, how did you know that?" The middle-aged man looked surprised when he heard Yue Li's words.

Yue Li: ……

"Hehe, I just think this name is good." Yue Li chuckled dryly.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "It's quite good. During the off-season, our village gathers a group of men to go hunting in the mountains, and then takes the game to the capital to sell. The rich people in the capital love to eat fresh wild game."

Yue Li: ……

No wonder the men she saw earlier were all so strong; they must have been hunting!

As they were talking, the two arrived at the village chief's house.

..........................................

An hour later, Yue Li and the village chief of Qingshan Village walked out of the government office in the capital.

Although the villagers of Qingshan Village do not live in the capital, they must go to the government office in the capital to register their household registration.

This is true not only in Qingshan Village, but also in more than a dozen villages around the capital.

Holding the newly processed household registration certificate, Yue Li carefully checked it before putting it into her bosom.

After leaving the capital city gates with the village chief of Qingshan Village, Yue Li took out 20 taels of silver and handed it to the village chief.

This was something they had agreed upon beforehand: the village chief would help her register her household in Qingshan Village, and she would pay the village chief 20 taels of silver as an activity fee.

Although she knew that it would not cost 20 taels of silver to process the household registration, and she had clearly seen at the yamen that the village chief had only given the person processing the household registration five taels of silver.

However, as long as the household registration can be settled, Yue Li doesn't care if the village chief gets some benefits.

Moreover, the mountain behind Qingshan Village is indeed the environment that Yue Li needs right now.

After all, she hadn't made any further progress since breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining. Now that she had encountered a mountain like Qingshan Village, she certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity.
