After breaking off the engagement with Long Aotian

Shao Yin tilted her head and looked at the boy.

He was in a state of extreme distress. He had never suffered such hardship in the past seventeen years. He was seriously injured, and was hiding in a cave with only a bird to take care of him.

"I don't think it's necessary." Elder Jin thought he was too long-winded. If he hadn't seen that he was decent and willing to compensate the owner, he would have been too lazy to explain. "Take care of your pet. I will take care of the rest."

It was just a mere sheep. Elder Jin was passing through the forest and could have caught one and brought it back.

Thinking of this, he flew up on his sword and said, "Let's go."

The last sentence was said to Shao Yin. But Shao Yin did not follow immediately, but smiled and drew her sword.

He picked up a big stone and cut it into a big jar with a few sharp cuts of the sword.

Under the boy's astonished gaze, he used a water talisman to fill the large jar.

"The wound still needs to be cleaned." She said, dropping a few drops of spiritual spring water into the clear water, "Take care of yourself. Goodbye."

He glanced at him, then threw the sword into the air, leaped up, stepped on the sword, and walked away in the blink of an eye.

The bright purple figure gradually caught up with the black shadow in front and soon disappeared into the sky.

Ye Chen stared blankly, and only when the two figures disappeared did he slowly lower his head and look at the rippling, clear water surface.

Did she just recognize him?
"Gah!"

Suddenly, the golden eagle let out a loud cry, followed by the sound of flapping its wings happily.

Its wings were thick and full, and even if it flapped lightly, it would sweep the sand and gravel on the ground. But it was completely unaware of it, and happily pecked at something and ran to Ye Chen.

"quack!"

It spit out the little stones!
The golden eagle stared at Ye Chen with its two huge but bright brown eyes, as if asking for praise.

Ye Chen paused, reached out, and took out a small ruby ​​from its beak.

He took a look and smiled softly.

Why bother? This ruby ​​was originally given by her. After all, I am grateful to her.

"Thank you." He said softly, slowly closing his palms, and the hard ruby ​​was tightly grasped in his palms.

-

Shao Yin and Elder Jin returned to the village.

"Master, has the monster been eliminated?" The villagers immediately gathered around and asked in unison.

Shao Yin nodded: "It has been eliminated."

Everyone immediately cheered, expressed gratitude, and knelt down to worship.

Shao Yin waved her sleeves, and everyone stopped bowing. Just as they were panicking, they heard her ask, "Are there any other strange things happening in the village?"

The crowd immediately fell silent, and then the village chief replied: "Master, there is nothing strange. This is the case in the village year after year."

There are no wild beasts to eat people, no monsters to invade, because it is located in a remote area, and there is not even conscription, corvée or taxation. People rely entirely on God for food.

"In that case, my brother and I will say goodbye here." Shao Yin said.

The two of them were just passing by, and because the little girl was crying, they intervened. Now that the matter is over, they are leaving.

"Sister, are you leaving now?" The little girl ran out quickly and said anxiously, "I haven't invited you to have tea yet."

Shao Yin smiled, touched her hair that looked like dry grass, and said, "Let me give you a small gift."

As soon as he said this, the other children in the village became jealous. Some of the brave ones ran out and asked, "Can you give it to me, too?"

The adults in the village quickly scolded him: "Goudan! Stop being so rude!"

But Shao Yin looked at the children in the village, smiled and nodded: "Okay. All of them."

The children immediately cheered and gathered around.

"Fairy, children are ignorant, you don't have to pay attention to them!" the village chief said hurriedly, while driving the children away.

Shao Yin said calmly: "It's okay."

With a glance, he grabbed a large stone from the ditch, infused his spiritual power into the sword, and cut at the stone.

Everyone thought that the stone was some kind of treasure and their eyes lit up.

But the sword shadow flashed, and the hard stone was like soft tofu, and soon it was cut into pieces.

The remaining piece the size of a chicken egg was caught by Shao Yin. With a casual wipe, the oval bluestone changed its shape and turned into the shape of a cute little chick. The bottom was integrated with the eggshell, and it was a tumbler in the shape of a chicken.

"Wow!" Not only the little girl was stunned, but the other children were also stunned.

"I want it too! I want it too!"

The children picked up the stones at hand and rushed over to ask Shao Yin to turn into a chicken for them.

Shao Yin smiled and carved them into the shapes of chicks, rabbits, lambs, puppies, and calves: "Take them and play with them."

These tumblers look cute, but they are made of the cheapest bluestone and can't be exchanged for much money. But the children are very happy to hold them in their hands.

"Sister!" The little girl looked up and found that the fairy sister was no longer in the crowd. She looked up and saw a figure disappearing into the sky.

She opened her mouth, then slowly closed it. She felt a little lost, and something inexplicable was sprouting in her young heart.

At this moment, a voice came from the crowd: "Hey! Why is there a wild goat here?"

The little girl quickly got out of the crowd and saw a wild sheep lying in her yard with its four hooves tied up by weeds.

"It's mine!" Mrs. Wang shouted, jumping over to protect the sheep. "It's the fairy's compensation to my family!"

No one competed with her.

The fairy hasn't gone far yet. Who knows if there is an eye watching here?

"Yes, yes, it's yours."

-

"Why don't you just be a good person and continue to do what you want?" Elder Jin spoke after flying far away.

Shao Yin was puzzled: "How am I not a good person?" "They are so poor, I thought you would distribute gold and silver so that they can live an easier life." Elder Jin said.

Shao Yin smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "Help one person, and the whole family will be watching. Help one family, and the whole village will be watching. Help the whole village, and people from ten miles away will smell the scent and come over."

Did she help others or hurt others? She didn't want to be involved in these causes and effects.

They are just a few worthless trinkets. If you exchange them for money, you won't get much. You say they were carved by gods? No one will believe it.

It's just like making the kids happy for a few days, and it can be considered as a chance encounter.

"Brother, shall we go into the city?" She put aside this matter and talked about business.

Elder Jin was startled and turned to look at her: "Go into the city?"

"Stock up some more treasures." Shao Yin said bitterly, "That demon spider consumed most of my magic weapons and talismans."

No matter whether it is useful or not, it has been used up anyway.

Elder Jin also thought of this and was heartbroken. He turned his head and said hoarsely, "Okay."

In fact, he also meant this.

The giant spider, whose cultivation was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul, made them use up all the life-saving talismans given to them by Patriarch Liu.

What if we encounter danger again? There is still a long way to go.

If he doesn't find a way to improve his defense, he won't be able to sleep or eat.

"We won't pass through the Forbidden Sun Forest anymore." Elder Jin said after a while.

Shao Yin was surprised and asked, "Why?"

"I originally wanted to be close to the place for convenience." I also wanted to stay away from people so that I could discipline my children. "Now I think I was not thoughtful enough."

"It's too dangerous." Elder Jin sighed, "We will go through the cities in the cultivation world from now on."

Traveling from one city to another is like the two sides of a triangle, choosing the far side over the near one.

However, Shao Yin readily agreed: "Okay!"

She was not in a hurry to become a disciple.

"Alas." Elder Jin sighed when she agreed without thinking, "Don't think it's convenient to go through the city."

He turned his head and looked over: "You have offended Zixiao Palace, have you forgotten?"

She killed someone and was still shouting arrogantly. It would be strange if Zixiao Palace didn't put her on the list to be hunted down!

"Man-made disasters can be avoided, but natural disasters cannot be escaped." Elder Jin didn't want to go any closer, "Let's hide our names, disguise ourselves and hurry on."

If the people from Zixiao Palace were chasing them, they could find a way to hide, but when traveling outside, who knew where another huge monster might pop up?
Next time, I won’t be so lucky, as there will be Master Qiu Shuang to save my life.

"Okay, senior brother." Shao Yin said, and immediately took out a black robe from the storage ring and put it on.

Then, he took out a bottle of Disguise Pills and took one. Not long after, a middle-aged male cultivator with a rough face appeared in front of Elder Jin.

Elder Jin's face turned black: "That's the uniform of the disciples of Zixiao Palace!"

She found it from Lu Yunmin, and she just put it on so carelessly? Was she afraid that people wouldn't notice it?

Shao Yin looked over and said, "That's right. Who would doubt their fellow apprentice?"

Elder Jin opened his mouth but could not utter any rebuttal.

"I've only been hanging around outside for a dozen years. Why can't I become a disciple of Zixiao Palace?" She shouted angrily in a deep voice, her beard twitching, her rough appearance was natural.

Elder Jin felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Finally, he turned around silently and changed his clothes.

The black clothes of unknown material were replaced with white clothes that sparkled golden in the sunlight. A jade belt was tied around the waist, showing off her slender waist and long legs, making her look graceful and elegant.

He was still wearing a mask, but it was made of wood, which ruthlessly covered his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Senior Brother, have you ever offended anyone in the past?" Shao Yin asked curiously.

Elder Jin said in a hoarse voice: "I just can't face people."

The voice was hoarse and full of self-mockery, a tone Shao Yin had never heard before. She was stunned for a moment and then shut up.

The nearest city is Fengxi City.

The construction of this city is interesting. Once you enter the city, you will find that there are no straight streets, but streets leading to one place in all directions.

Walk along a road to the end and you will see a vast lake.

The clear water reflected the sparkling light in the wind, and the shops and business districts were built around the lake. Shaoyin heard many people say: "Don't go near that lake."

"If I die, I won't even know how I died."

"Stay away, don't come near."

She asked the person beside her: "Brother, have you been here before? Is there anything strange in this lake?"

If he didn't know, she would go find someone else to ask.

She now looks like a big bearded man, which is far from the image of a lively and pretty girl in the past, and she speaks in a muffled voice.

Elder Jin looked at the big guy who was half a head taller than him. He was silent for a moment before he said in a hoarse voice, "It is said that the city lord's pet, a dragon fish, is kept in this lake."

"Dragon fish?" The big bearded man touched his chin. Maybe it was the prickly stubble that made him uncomfortable, so he smiled and asked, "What is a dragon fish?"

Although she bought the "Monster Beast Record" from Tianbao Pavilion, she had no time to read it carefully because she was either being chased by the Zixiao Palace, frightened by the giant spider, or in a hurry on the road.

Elder Jin couldn't bear to watch, so he turned his head away and said, "It is said that if a carp crosses the Dragon Gate, it can transform into a dragon. Nowadays, there are no dragons in the world, only a small amount of dragon bloodline, and this dragon fish is one of them."

99.9999% of the blood in its body is from fish, and the remaining bit is from dragon. Because it was inherited as a dominant trait, it gained the opportunity to practice Taoism and became a dragon fish.

Shao Yin looked into the lake curiously.
