Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 212 Hun Tian Hou

That night, as the crowd gradually dispersed, Shi An returned to his small house under the moonlight.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door creaked open, and he pushed it open and entered, only to suddenly freeze in place.

Inside the room, Yunxi sat alone by the window, her purple dress reflecting the moonlight as she gazed at the round, jade-like moon on the horizon. The moonlight, like water, flowed around her.

"what happened?"

Shi An smiled and asked, slowly walking to her side.

"nothing."

Upon hearing Shi An's voice, Yun Xi quickly snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and gently got up. While helping Shi An undress, she softly said, "Get some rest!"

However, Shi An did not follow her lead. Instead, he suddenly grasped her delicate hand and said gently, "Missing your family?"

"・・・"

As soon as Shi An finished speaking, Yun Xi paused, her expression slightly hardening. Her eyelids lowered, and her long eyelashes cast dappled shadows in the moonlight.

After a moment of silence, she leaned gently on Shi An's shoulder and murmured, "Hmm, perhaps it's because you've been gone for two months that my thoughts have become a bit scattered. Seeing your interaction with Dad and Mom just now reminded me of my own parents and grandfather."

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Shi An gently reached out and patted Yun Xi's back, saying in a tender tone, "Then after a while, once everything is over, let's go to the Upper Realm together!"

"it is good!"

Yunxi nodded silently, then got up again to tidy up Shi An.

For a moment, the room was completely silent, with only the night breeze gently brushing against the windowpanes, creating a soft rustling sound that broke the tranquility.

Shi An watched Yun Xi's busy figure quietly, his heart filled with tenderness and pity, and then he couldn't help but hug her.

And so, the night passed without incident, and a new day dawned in the blink of an eye.

Upon returning to the village after several months, Shi An was immediately surrounded by a group of mischievous children before he even had a chance to wash up.

"Uncle Xiao An, tell us more about the outside world."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Xiao An, I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep well."

"Uncle Xiao An, when can we go to Shiguo like Dad and the others?"

········
The children chattered away like a flock of cheerful little sparrows, surrounding Shi An, their little faces full of anticipation and curiosity.

Looking at these innocent faces, Shi An couldn't help but smile gently. He then reached out and gently patted the head of the child closest to him. After scanning the group of little ones one by one, he said, "Alright, Uncle An will tell you about the outside world again today."

"The outside world is vast, with monkeys as tall as mountains, talking chickens, fish with duck-like bills..."

Shi An spoke slowly and deliberately, and the children listened with great interest. Sometimes, when he spoke of something particularly interesting, their eyes would widen and their mouths would open slightly, as if they were already in that bustling world.

Before we knew it, it was already noon.

"Uncle Xiao An, you'll have to tell us more later, right?"

Pulled along by their mothers, the group of mischievous children reluctantly went home.

Seeing the kids looking back every now and then, Shi An smiled and waved, replying, "Okay, come back after you finish eating, and I'll tell you the story."

"How wonderful it would be if we had children too."

Just then, a soft and gentle voice came from behind him. Shi An turned around and saw that Yun Xi had come to his side at some point, her beautiful eyes filled with longing and tenderness.

Looking at Yunxi's face, which was outlined with soft features by the sunlight, Shi An's heart stirred. He then reached out and put his arm around her, whispering, "It will happen."

"Let's go back to the room." With that, Shi An embraced Yun Xi and led her back to the room.

Days passed by like this, ordinary yet filled with a touch of warmth.

Every morning, Shi An would go hunting in the mountains with the village's hunting team. When he returned, he would be pestered by the group of mischievous children to tell him wonderful stories about the outside world.

After lunch, Shi An would sit quietly under the willow tree at the entrance of the village and devote himself to cultivation.

As evening fell, Yunxi and he would watch the sunset paint the sky red while listening to the children's laughter. Their days were simple yet fulfilling.

Until this day...

On this day, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew. Shi An was tending to the village's medicinal herbs with Yun Xi when he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the other side of the village.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, shouting, "Furball, Little Red, come with me to slay the god!"

"problem occurs?"

Upon seeing the figure that suddenly appeared, Shi An's heart stirred slightly. After saying something to Yun Xi, he went to the person's side.

"Little brother, what's wrong? What happened?"

As Shi An asked the questions, he used his spatial powers to summon Maoqiu and Xiaohong over.

"What's going on? Why am I here?"

The sudden commotion caused Maoqiu and Xiaohong to change their expressions slightly, but they quickly recovered and looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared, namely Shi Hao, and said, "Why are you calling us in such a hurry? And what do you mean by 'slaying the god'?"

"The Sky-Devouring Sparrow has appeared in the western border of the Stone Kingdom."

Faced with the questions from the man and the two beasts, Shi Hao hurriedly gave an explanation.

"The Sky-Devouring Sparrow?"

As soon as Shi Hao finished speaking, Shi An shook his head and said, "Impossible. It was killed by Liu Shen back in the North Sea. It's impossible for it to reappear."

Seeing the disbelieving look on Shi An's face, Shi Hao scratched his head and then said again, "Brother, I know this."

"But the Marquis of Hun Tian sent word that the Devouring Sparrow has reappeared and is advancing to the Divine Flame stage."

After hearing Shi Hao's explanation, Shi An, Mao Qiu, and Xiao Hong exchanged glances and simultaneously had the same thought: "There's something wrong with this Hun Tianhou!"

Thinking this, Shi An waved his hand, creating a shimmering silver passage: "Let's go, I'll go see this so-called Hun Tian Hou and see why he dares to do such a thing as deceiving the emperor!"

Seeing Shi An create a stable spatial passage with a wave of his hand, Shi Hao was both shocked and couldn't help but smile.

"go!"

With a shout, the two people and two beasts stepped into the passage together.

In the blink of an eye, the two people and two beasts appeared in the western border of the Stone Kingdom, but the scene there made them look slightly uneasy.

Ahead lay a massive city, but it was deserted, with only traces of blood remaining, proving that it was not originally an isolated city.

The two brothers looked at each other and continued on their way, but what happened next made their expressions grow increasingly somber.

Jedi!

A complete and utter wasteland!
The entire western border of the Stone Kingdom, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, was utterly desolate, with not a single survivor left. Humans and other creatures alike had been completely devoured.

"Let's go to Huntian City!"

The more they looked, the more uncomfortable the two humans and two beasts felt. Finally, at Shi Hao's suggestion, they arrived at another giant city.
