Chen Nian still brought Lin Xiaomeng along.
The five people quickly moved towards the signal marker on the radar and finally arrived at their destination safely at dusk.
It's an ordinary village.
The intelligence agents stationed in this world are in the village.
"Try not to scare the locals."
Chen Nian gave a few instructions and then led the group into the village. Because of their strange clothes, many villagers pointed and whispered curiously.
The village is small; you can see the whole thing at a glance. It only has a few dozen households.
However, it seemed that the intelligence officer had also sensed them through some kind of device and hurriedly came out to greet them.
"You've arrived! Over here!"
The intelligence agents stationed here are a man and a woman, both young. They have no combat capabilities and their main task is to collect intelligence and report it back to the academy.
"I'm sorry, these are our friends from out of town, please don't take offense."
The two men explained the situation to the villagers, and the villagers were no longer hostile.
"Come in, gentlemen!"
Chen Nian and the other four were invited into the house, the door was closed, and they sat around a table.
"You've finally arrived as reinforcements sent by the academy!"
"Tell me, what's going on here?" Chen Nian asked.
"Based on the information currently available, two Origin-level Demon Gods have been sent to this world! However, their rankings are not high."
"Where?"
"Three hundred miles to the west, there's a place surrounded by mountains on all sides; that's their stronghold. Their obelisk is quite obvious. We must destroy the obelisk as soon as possible; that thing is connected to the world's ley lines and is probing the world's core."
"clear."
If this happens to be the core world of the sixth level and has been detected by the Obelisk Black Tower, then they will attack this place at all costs, and there will inevitably be widespread destruction.
"When are you planning to leave?"
"We've been flying for too long. Let's rest and recover our strength before we make our move tomorrow," Chen Nian said.
"Alright, then rest for the night. I can arrange a room for you, with two separate rooms. How would you like to divide them?"
Chen Nian looked at the group and said, "They'll share a room, and I'll share a room with her."
"And what about her?" the intelligence officer asked, looking at the girl who had come out alone.
"And what about me?" Lin Xiaomeng pointed to herself.
"You'll have to make do in the woodshed."
"???"
After a brief discussion of the action plan, the two intelligence officers led the group out and pointed to an empty room not far away.
"No one lived in that house. Actually, it used to have an owner, but one day when the owner took his daughter to the lake to catch fish, they were unfortunately attacked by brutal bandits. Both parents were killed, and only the daughter survived."
Chen Nian asked instinctively, "Did your daughter escape from the bandits?"
"No, it's said that she slipped and fell into the lake while being chased by bandits, and drowned."
"I'm quite lucky."
"Her name is A-Yuan. She was adopted by the village's childless prince. I'll go and say hello to you. She's very easy to talk to and should agree to let you stay for a day."
After explaining, the two led Chen Nian and the others to the prince's house not far away.
"Is A-Yuan there?"
"Coming right away!"
He called out once, and a lively little girl ran out.
She wore simple clothes and a dirty apron around her waist, but her face was that of a beauty. With her naturally beautiful features, if she dressed up carefully, she would definitely be a pretty girl comparable to Su Jinyu.
"What are you doing, A-Yuan?"
"They're brewing medicine. Grandpa fell ill a couple of days ago..." the little girl replied dejectedly.
"That's strange. Wasn't the old man in very good health? He was always working in the fields every day. How could he suddenly be like this?"
"It's my fault... I didn't take good care of Grandpa."
"Ah Yuan, don't blame yourself. You've already been very sensible. By the way, these are my friends. Can they stay at your place for the night?"
"Sure! Nobody lives here anyway." A-Yuan readily agreed, then looked curiously at Chen Nian and the others, asking, "Are you from out of town?"
"Yes."
"Would you like to eat together later? I'm about to cook for Grandpa, so I can make extra!"
Chen Nian and his companions readily agreed, surprised that the young girl was so easy to talk to and so hospitable.
So, Chen Nian and the others were taken to an empty room next door. After resting for a while, A Yuan brought over a steaming hot meal.
"Time to eat!"
The dishes were simple: stir-fried cabbage, vegetable and egg soup, and some sliced duck.
However, Chen Nian and his companions were already very grateful for such warm hospitality towards strangers from out of town.
"Please eat as much as you like, don't be shy."
"Xiao Yuan, you're such a kind person. Aren't you afraid we're bad people?" Su Jinyu asked with a smile.
"Sister is so beautiful, she can't be a bad person!"
Su Jinyu was pleased by the compliment and squinted her eyes, saying, "Actually, Xiaoyuan is also very pretty. Next time, your older sister will dress you up, and I guarantee you'll be a little beauty."
"What about me? Am I not pretty?" Lin Xiaomeng asked, pointing to herself.
"Your hair color... is so ugly..."
"That's fashionable, you brat."
As soon as Lin Xiaomeng finished speaking, there was a cracking sound, and the chair leg broke, almost causing her to fall to the ground on her backside.
"What bad luck!"
That evening.
Chen Nian still arranged for Lin Xiaomeng and Su Jinyu to share a room, while the other two male team members shared another room.
Lin Xiaomeng was instantly happy, thinking to herself that Chen Nian was indeed all bark and no bite; he still cared about her.
On the rooftop, Chen Nian rested his head on his arm, enjoying the cool evening breeze.
No matter which world you're in, you can see the sun, the moon, and the stars.
He couldn't help but wonder, if all worlds are on the World Tree, then where are the sun, moon, and stars?
"Brother!"
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her softly from below; it was Ah Yuan.
His gaze shifted downwards. "Still not asleep?"
"I can't sleep... Brother, how did you climb up to the roof? It's so high, aren't you afraid of falling?"
Chen Nian smiled. "Want to come up and have some fun?"
"Okay, is that alright?"
"You treated us to a meal and provided us with a place to stay, of course we can."
Chen Nian used the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to bring Xiao Yuan to the rooftop. The latter was full of surprise and wonder, never expecting such a magical thing to happen.
"Brother, I want to ask you a question."
"Go ahead and ask."
"Actually, I suddenly had an idea recently, but I don't dare to tell my grandfather or anyone else in the village. Because I grew up eating food from many families, everyone was very kind to me, and I don't want them to dislike me."
"It's okay, just say so. I can help you if you have any difficulties," Chen Nian asked with a gentle smile.
"I feel like... Grandpa got sick because of me, and my parents got sick because of me... It seems like many people have bad luck whenever they're around me."
Chen Nian suddenly remembered the incident where Lin Xiaomeng's chair suddenly broke, and thought that it must have been just a coincidence.
"How could such a thing happen? Ah Yuan, you're overthinking it."
"But I'll become very lucky. Did A-Yuan... steal their luck?"
"impossible."
As soon as Chen Nian finished speaking, a clump of bird droppings fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
