Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 1229 Little Fourth Grandfather
After Kournikova and her two companions descended the mountain, they found themselves on a main road. Kournikova peered out from both sides of the road for a while.

The siblings, imitating Kournikova, looked around. Ouyang Yin said, "Why is there no one here? Which way should we go?"

Kournikova also had a headache. She scratched her head and saw the little mute boy. She said, "You choose. You're lucky. Otherwise, you wouldn't know me."

Ouyang Lule was amused, but also troubled. What did he know? He gestured in one direction as if there was something there.

Kournikova was surprised to see this, as he hadn't even noticed it, and casually asked, "How did you determine that there was something going on over there?"

Ouyang Yin said, "My younger brother has an exceptionally strong sense of perception; he can sense both good and bad things."

Kournikova was taken aback, not expecting the kid to have this ability, and asked, "So now does he feel it's a good thing or a bad thing?"

Ouyang Yin rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think bad things will lead you that way?"

Ouyang Lu tilted his head back, giving her a look that said, "You have to believe me." Kova chuckled and said, "Alright, let's go."

The three of them headed east, and it took them most of the day to walk. Kournikova was alright, since she had cultivation, but the siblings couldn't keep up.

The three found a big tree and rested under it. Kournikova said, "I'll go wander around the neighborhood and find some food."

Ouyang Lu also wanted to go, but Kournikova said, "If you come with me, are you sure you don't want your sister to be alone here?"

Ouyang Lu sat down dejectedly. Kuva wanted to take some food from her storage ring for the siblings, but it was indeed inconvenient with Ouyang Lu around.

Kournikova hadn't gone far when she saw abandoned wheat fields on both sides of the road, overgrown with weeds and wildly growing plants, making it difficult to go far even if you wanted to.

Kournikova took two fish and a chicken from her storage ring, along with some seasonings, and went back.

When they returned, the siblings were pleasantly surprised. Ouyang Yin asked, "You caught two fish and a chicken in such a short time?"

"My hunting skills are no joke," Kournikova said proudly.

Kova didn't waste any time. She got some mud, since there weren't any lotus leaves available, so she used the leaves of a shrub to wrap the pheasant, which was already stuffed with spices, layer by layer. After wrapping it in mud, she put it directly into the fire.

Then they found two tree branches, whittled them with a dagger, and just then, Ouyang Yin returned from cleaning the fish, and Ouyang Lü helped them find a stream.

The three of them had grilled fish and beggar's chicken for dinner that night. When the aroma wafted out, Ouyang Lu's mouth watered.

The three of them began to eat heartily. Kuva ate very little, and Ouyang Yin deliberately let her younger brother eat first. Ouyang Lu did not understand his sister's meaning. His craving had already been aroused, and he picked up the grilled fish and ate it in big bites.

Kova handed another one to Ouyang Yin and said, "You need to eat your fill too, otherwise you might have to walk quite far later."

Ouyang Yin took the fish, lowered her head shyly, and began to eat it in small bites.

The three of them then shared the chicken, using other leaves instead of lotus leaves. Kournikova was actually quite worried that the leaves might spoil the chicken's flavor. But when she opened the package, thankfully, it was a successful and fragrant chicken with no hint of leafy taste.

After the three finished their meal and rested for a while, they set off. This time, unlike before, they didn't wander around and look around; this time, they were focused on getting on their way.

After a short while, the three of them saw a huge city standing in the distance.

Looking at the distant city, Kournikova felt a sense of familiarity. The three continued towards the city, and when they saw the words on the city gate, Kournikova was stunned. The two large characters read "Border Town".

Kournikova looked at the siblings and said, "That's how I got to your place."

Kournikova looked at the city and hesitated whether to go in, while the siblings were very curious about the city.

Kova said, "There's a teleportation array inside, but as far as I know, this array requires high-grade spirit stones to teleport, and even then, it doesn't guarantee where you'll be teleported to. Look at me, I was teleported to your place."

Ouyang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "If this continent has a teleportation channel like ours, it should be in the imperial palace in the capital."

Kova's eyes lit up instantly. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?" Suddenly, he remembered the spirit stones on the teleportation array. He had to retrieve them. Kova made up his mind and said, "Let's go, I'll take you into the city."

Kova and the other two headed straight for the city gate, when suddenly they exclaimed, "What's wrong?" Ouyang Yin asked, "What's wrong?"

“There used to be three layers of beast guards around here, but they’re gone now. I wonder what happened,” Kournikova said.

Kuva led her siblings into the city. Kuva was preoccupied with her high-grade spirit stones and went straight to the teleportation array behind the city lord's mansion. It was said that it could teleport people to the place that these people went to.

How did I end up in the mortal realm halfway through? Kuva looked at the intact teleportation array and hesitated.

Ouyang Yin looked at Kova and asked, "Did you miss something when you teleported back then?"

Kourva frowned, suddenly remembering the Qiankun Shift Token. Yes, that token was missing.

Kuva hesitated before saying, "Now that I have the Shifting Token, do you think I can go to where they are? It should be the cultivation world, right? Should we give it a try?"

Ouyang Yin looked at Kourva and said, "We'll listen to you. You saved us, so we'll follow you wherever you go."

Ouyang Lu hugged Kournikova tightly and nodded firmly.

Kova thought for a moment and said, "If we stay here, we still don't know where the capital is, and it will take a lot of time to find it. Kunyun Continent is not an ordinary continent, and we don't know when we will get there. I think it's better to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, we can always go to the mortal realm again."

Ouyang Yin agreed, and Kova said, "In a little while, you two hold my arms and don't let go. Let's try it."

There are still seven high-grade spirit stones on the teleportation array. One was destroyed during the last teleportation. The three of them stood below the ring. Kuva flicked her hand, and a spirit stone flew out and embedded itself in the teleportation array. Kuva held the Qiankun Shift Token tightly in her hand.

The three of them felt dizzy and lightheaded. Before long, they had recovered from their daze when a voice came from behind them.

"Oh, so the Divine Martial Realm has sent another newcomer." A middle-aged, fat man, not very tall, was looking at the three people on the teleportation array.

Kourva first put away the Qiankun Shifting Token, as this thing should not be easily seen by others.

When he came to his senses, he saw the middle-aged fat man frowning and muttering, "Why are there three children?"

The middle-aged fat man shouted, "Come on down now that you're here. Why do I have to go and invite you?"

The three stepped off the teleportation array. Kuva looked at the fat man and asked, "Uncle, we're new here and don't know where we are."

"This is the cultivation world. The place you are in now is called Yuncheng, which is a border city of the entire cultivation world. What are you little kids doing here?" the middle-aged fat man asked impatiently.

"We're looking for our parents. They were all teleported here, and we had no other choice but to persuade the guardians to teleport us," Kournikova said without batting an eye.

The middle-aged fat man chuckled and said, "Young man, you're not old, but you can lie as soon as you open your mouth. This teleportation array is strictly prohibited from use by the higher-ups. You can't get here through the teleportation channel of the interface."

Seeing that there was no other way, Kuva told the truth and told the three fat men that they had been teleported from the city lord's mansion in the border city of Kunyun Continent in the Divine Martial Realm.

The middle-aged fat man nodded this time and said, "Alright, since you're all kids, I'll give you a discount. Ten spirit stones per person, thirty for three people. Pay up and go."

Kournikova and the other two were stunned. Ouyang Yin said, "You're charging for this?"

The middle-aged fat man objected, saying, "We risked our lives to build this teleportation array. If we don't charge, we'll go bankrupt!"

Kuva's eyes darted around as she said, "Uncle, we really don't have any spirit stones, but I have a jar of spirit wine that my master told me is worth a hundred spirit stones. Can I use it as a substitute?"

The middle-aged fat man's eyes lit up, but he quickly returned to his original expression, looking rather displeased.

Kournikova took out a flask of ordinary spiritual wine from the Three Immortals Sect from her backpack, and instantly the spiritual energy in the room surged wildly.
