Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

The children looked at each other, as if asking if there was such a taboo.

In the end, everyone shook their heads.

"I don't know, probably not. We have never seen outsiders since we were born. I don't think we mind."

Just as Anne finished her words, a mature and beautiful woman in simple clothes waved over here from a high place in the town.

"What are you doing there? Are you being lazy again? Come here!"

The mountain breeze blew into this isolated town. The simple long skirt clung to the woman's figure, outlining her beautiful and exquisite contours, and her wide and smooth hip line was like a ripe peach.

Just by seeing her once, Chu Yan confirmed one thing: this is the woman who can become my mother!

He said resolutely: "It's time to meet the only adult. No matter what kind of monster attacks this village, I will definitely help!"

Chapter 48: Mother of Madness (II)

Chu Yan still met the woman's eyes. Out of courtesy, he did not try to get too close to her. Instead, he stood there, waiting for the woman to come closer.

If a group of people chooses to live in a place isolated from the outside world, they will be more or less rejecting and wary of the outside world.

Some self-righteous enthusiasm, smiles, and closeness will often only make the other person feel pressured.

The safer option is to give the other person enough space to think and let them choose whether to get close or not.

Of course, Chu Yan was actually more afraid of going deep into the hinterland and making it difficult to escape.

"Hello, are you from outside?"

After a while, the woman came over from a distance. She looked at Chu Yan with curiosity and a little suspicion.

While looking at Chu Yan, the woman's peripheral vision was checking the sky.

Could it be that they think we are "terrible monsters"... Chu Yan said quickly:

"They said we came from outside, but I'm not sure because I ended up on the path over there without knowing what was going on. I'm the Dragonborn Chu Yan, and this is the Human Ye Nai."

"I have heard of the human race, but I have never heard of the dragon race. Is this a branch of the dragon race?"

"No, Dragonborn are the hybrid offspring of dragons and humans, their strength is far inferior."

Chu Yan laughed at himself, but there was embarrassment in his smile, which made the woman mistakenly think that he had said something offensive and hit her sore spot.

She apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu Yan, I didn't mean to compare the strengths..."

After a few short conversations, Chu Yan's heart

329

He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, but now that he had confirmed that the other person was the type who could talk properly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"No need to apologize, and you can just call me by my name. I am just an ordinary person, so there is no need to use a honorific title. So how should I address you?"

"My name is ００, and I'm the only adult in this village right now."

〇〇......

I really can't hear the name. What should I do? It would be too rude if I don't call him by his real name. Alas!

Chu Yan always maintained a humble attitude, and now he was even more embarrassed. He said with embarrassment:

"I'm not very good at pronouncing your name. If I pronounce it in my hometown language, the syllables won't be clear and it's very rude... Can I call you mom along with the kids?"

Perhaps she felt it was a bit strange to be called "Mom" by a strange boy she had just met, but Chu Yan's appearance and temperament easily won her favor, so the woman didn't take it to heart and nodded with a smile:

"No problem~"

Princess Ye Na's expression is like this:

→_→

Chu Yan called out "Mom" so fluently and skillfully.

As soon as the initial friendly exchange was completed, the mature and beautiful woman said regretfully:

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. I have to go teach the children and impart knowledge and skills. I can't entertain you."

"It's okay, Mom, just do your thing. It's good for us to just stand here and enjoy the scenery!"

After saying that, the woman led the children back home. Annie and Jack looked back every few steps and whispered to each other, "We'll sneak out to play with you after class."

Chu Yan smiled and nodded, and continued to stay where he and Ye Na were.

After watching everyone in the town go back, Chu Yan sat down on the ground exhausted.

Princess Ye Na asked the question she had been wanting to ask:

"You are nervous, worried, and uneasy. You have been like this since you met that woman. Is there any reason?"

Now that they were in the same boat, it would be irresponsible for Chu Yan to hide anything any further, so he mentioned things related to the Cursed Witch, especially her vicious nature.

There were many surprises in the nightmare space this time. This immersive copy was an accident, and the fact that Princess Ye Na stayed here with him was also an accident.

"I don't want to drag you, Princess Ye Na, into this, and I don't want to face that terrifying existence, but there are indeed too many unexpected things that happened."

"...Alas, I can't blame you. It's not your wish."

Princess Ye Na sighed, pursed her lips, and her rosy and tender face puffed up slightly. She didn't even notice her unintentional cute look.

"Then Chu Yan, what you mean is that the 'terrible monster' that woman mentioned is most likely the cursed witch?"

"Yes, and the cursed witch will appear soon." Chu Yan sat on the stone steps next to him, wiped off the dust with his hand, and let the noble little princess sit down.

Two people, one big and one small, sat side by side, facing the direction of the sun, hoping to stop it by staring at it.

The white-haired princess hugged her chest and sorted out the information in an orderly manner. She said:

"We probably can't escape this place. Considering the worst, we may have to fight the Cursed Witch at dusk. Now is the time to take stock of our combat power."

"Row."

Chu Yan began to use his magic, but the magic under the Red Devil Dragonborn and Black Ice Dragonborn systems was basically useless.

It's okay to light a fire with your fingertips or make some ice chips, but that's all.

The Purple Poison Dragonborn's magic can be used normally, but unfortunately they are all skills for survival. The most lethal one is his "Purple Poison Magic Needle", which is specially effective against women.

Every time I stab him, his eyes turn back.

Oh, no, my innate magic can still be used. This can be used as a trump card!

Princess Yaina's situation is slightly better. Thanks to her years of meditation to review her swordsmanship, she has retained a lot of her swordsmanship skills, but the power has been weakened to varying degrees.

She jumped down to the ground, picked up a branch, and began to wield the sword with her petite, fragile, and easily knocked-over body.

Princess Yana practiced [Flowing Shadow Sword Technique]. After performing a series of small combos, she found that some sword styles were incredibly weak. On the contrary, [Heart Slash], which was more inclined to the "intention" level, could still exert its original power.

But what can I say? Relying on just these few tricks, it's hard to deal with monsters above elite level.

He didn't even have a weapon to use.

"You can obviously use a lot of Dragonborn magic, but why are they all defensive?" Princess Ye Na complained.

"Isn't this great? Although I'm a magician, I can help you withstand the pressure and take on the responsibilities of a heavy knight. Princess Ye Na, as a swordsman, you can chop people without any worries."

Chu Yan's words were a bit shameless.

Just imagine, he, a grown man, is hiding behind a little girl, putting all the offensive pressure on the delicate shoulders of Princess Ye Na, while he himself casts defensive magic and hides behind.

This is not just embarrassing!

Princess Ye Na is not a pessimistic person, but she sighed a lot today. During the negotiation, she sighed again:

"Anyone who can be called a 'witch' cannot be an ordinary person. They are basically beings admired and believed in by some secret organizations. Can we really deal with them?"

Chu Yan decided to convey his optimistic mood to her and said:

"Little Princess, if you say so

330

If so, then we don’t have to worry at all. We can’t win anyway, so what are we worrying about?

We must hurry up and make it before dusk, so that we can have one last happy afternoon!"

There were so many things worth complaining about in his words that Princess Ye Na ignored the fact that this guy called her "little princess" and really treated her like a little loli!

Seeing that Princess Ye Nai had that "serious but with a hint of contempt" expression again, Chu Yan stopped smiling and started to think seriously again.

"According to my possibly outdated experience, the solution to this problem may be in this village. We still have too many unknowns about this place, so let's go in and explore."

"Well, otherwise we'd just be waiting to die if we stayed here. When you called that strange woman 'Mom', didn't you feel a little embarrassed?"

"Why should I be embarrassed? I'm afraid she won't recognize me as her son!"

Chu Yan said this confidently, and for the sake of his own face, he added:

"Only by building a closer relationship can I be more confident in escorting you, little princess, away from here! For your safety, even if it means I have to suffer a little more and recognize more mothers, I am willing to do so."

Princess Ye Na was secretly moved. She and Chu Yan were not really familiar with each other, but Chu Yan was so humble for her and lowered himself in front of others. It was really a great sacrifice. What was wronged was his dignity as a dragon descendant...

"Thank you for your hard work!" The delicate little princess pursed her lips and expressed her sincere gratitude.

The direction was decided, and the two decided to face it positively and try to struggle hard in this place before dusk.

During the discussion, the sun had already reached noon.

But the sun here is not scorching hot, but warm and cool, even lighter than the warm sun in winter.

Because Princess Ye Na had no shoes, Chu Yan picked her up and walked into the town.

Going up along the main road of the town, there are no more than a hundred houses in total. The houses are scattered and seem to be quite a lot at first glance, but when you go to a higher place, the condition of the entire town becomes clear at a glance.

Chu Yan specifically picked a few houses and walked to the outside of the courtyard to look inside, but he didn't dare to go deeper, fearing that he would be mistaken for a chicken thief and arouse hostility and suspicion.

"Many of the houses here have been abandoned for many years. The town is not big, and the population is even smaller. Now, can there be thirty people, adults and children added together?"

"Besides, where are all the other adults? Why is there only one adult woman left here?"

"How can a group of people grow without the protection of adults?"

As they walked along the mountain road, the two of them discussed their confusions a lot, but none of these questions could be answered through discussion.

Princess Ye Na brought up another matter: "Did you notice when we met just now that all the children in this tribe are extremely talented. Especially Annie, who looks less than ten years old, but has the magical aura of a B-level adventurer, right?"

Chu Yan nodded: "Yes, my mother is also very powerful. She has a high affinity for various magic elements. It's as if the magic elements stick to her. Even a half-baked person like me can sense it. It's hard to imagine that she is afraid of some monster."

You said "Mom" again without any pressure...Princess Ye Na looked at him but didn't say anything.

Because they had already arrived outside the classroom, the woman was giving a lecture to the children.

Her tone of racing against time revealed unspeakable anxiety, like a mother on the verge of death, wishing to pass on all her skills to her children before she dies.

Chapter 49: Weird Town (Part 3)

Chu Yanduan held the little white-haired princess in his arms and stood by the classroom window, watching.

In classrooms,

Annie and a few other children were a little inattentive. They pretended to be serious, but in fact their eyes were always looking out the window, though they never stayed there for long each time.

After meeting Chu Yan's eyes, Annie's eyes lit up, she blinked, and then looked back at the blackboard.

On the podium, the woman's teaching progress was always maintained at a high speed, and she didn't seem to care whether the children had absorbed the knowledge in their minds.

But this was not a perfunctory move on her part. Quite the contrary, she was so eager to pass on her knowledge and survival skills that she could even say she wanted to impart too much. She had no time to hesitate and think about what to do.

Because the time you hesitate is a waste of the limited time you have.

Princess Ye Na retracted her head away from the window, afraid that the sound of her voice would disturb the people inside, so she motioned for her "vehicle" to move a few steps to the side.

After making sure her voice wouldn't get through, she said:

"This teacher... why do you teach these children this kind of skills? How to cook and how to identify poisonous herbs that cannot be eaten?"

Chu Yan was ashamed and puzzled, and echoed:

"I was just wondering why they were teaching such 'useless' skills. This is too ridiculous."

He is not saying that life skills like cooking are useless. He used to provide emotional value to Weilin's mother with his dessert-making skills.

Any skill has its use as long as it is used properly.

But this doesn't quite fit in with ００'s mother's eagerness. Is this the only knowledge she's so anxious to impart?
