What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"An Chen." An Chen returned the smile and shook hands with the other person.

The boy next to her, who had been looking like a middle school student with a cold expression, yawned: "So this is Jiu Ge's partner? He doesn't look that impressive. Even if he's talented, he's easy to be overlooked in a crowd."

With a blank expression, he delivered his sarcastic remarks without any emotion.

Chapter 74 Gouzi Bay

"..."

An Chen felt that what the other person said made a lot of sense.

Jiuge frowned and gave the boy a very cold look.

The boy did not respond.

"Oh dear, this kid's name is Feng Kai, that's just his personality, An Chen, don't mind him." Gong Jun shook Feng Kai's shoulder with a smile.

"You airheaded, slow-witted guy, you're shaking my head off." Feng Kai looked into Gong Jun's eyes, still expressionless.

"Hahaha, you're so cute."

Gong Jun pinched Feng Kai's cheek, looking like he'd seen something really fun.

Feng Kai remained expressionless, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Shrugging, An Chen glanced at the bespectacled man next to him who remained silent and had a serious expression.

"He's staring at the serious, motherly-like uncle," Feng Kai said, pointing to the bespectacled man, his tone almost monotone.

Gong Jun blinked and said, "His name is Yu Bei. His expression is either serious or displeased, but he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

After speaking, Yu Bei gave Gong Jun a displeased look.

“I understand.” An Chen nodded.

He understood that the people in the association were all very individualistic.

These should all be characters of similar level to Jiuge; it's beneficial to get to know more of them.

"Let's go." Jiu Ge glanced at An Chen and gestured for him to come with her.

Quite a few spirits dressed in retro, tattered clothes have already drifted over.

"Then let's split up."

Gong Jun took the stick off his back and made a move to leave.

Having been with the association for so long, he knew his colleagues' personalities very well.

Unless there are very special circumstances, they generally do not form groups.

Each and every one of them is a lone wolf.

The case of Jiu Ge finding An Chen is already considered an extremely special one.

When the news first came in, 99 percent of the association members did not believe that the information was credible at all.

Yu Bei and Feng Kai remained silent.

Feng Kai turned around and left.

Yu Bei nodded to Jiu Ge, then walked straight away.

Gong Jun greeted Jiu Ge, but ignored her reaction and headed in the opposite direction from Yu Bei and Feng Kai.

Once the three figures had completely disappeared, Jiuge let out a breath.

"Why don't you try to get along with them and make friends?"

An Chen smiled and joked.

"Believe in yourself, and you will succeed." As he said this, he suppressed a laugh and patted Jiuge's head.

"Really?" Jiuge touched her face, her mind starting to consider the feasibility.

Suddenly, she sighed: "Let's do the task first, although it's a pity we didn't manage to buy the food."

After speaking, Jiuge took An Chen's hand.

An Chen was somewhat surprised, but didn't react at all, simply letting Jiu Ge lead him.

Jiuge originally planned to buy dozens of kilograms of incense and food to offer to everyone.

But this teleportation was inhuman, and it actually sent me to this remote place.

There were no shops, and certainly not enough space.

"I am about to use a high-level spell. Begin meditating now."

"Ah."

An Chen obediently closed his eyes.

Five seconds later, a wave of dizziness washed over me.

When he opened his eyes again, the two of them were in a remote village.

"What kind of skill is this?" An Chen asked in surprise.

Even if you want to enter the illusion, you generally need to find the right direction.

Without knowing the specific location, it's practically impossible to get in.

He had never seen a skill like this before, which could so easily locate the illusionary realm in different places and teleport there.

"It's not that difficult. I can teach you later." Jiuge let go of her hand, tossed her hair, and snorted coldly.

She was delighted to be praised by An Chen.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

While meditating, An Chen didn't pay attention to Jiu Ge's actions beside him, thus missing the opportunity to directly imitate her.

Given his luck, learning and applying what he learns is a piece of cake.

Haystacks, women washing clothes by the river, stoves with thick smoke rising in the distance, and spirits dressed in various retro styles walking on the road.

An old man led his ox, with a young shepherd boy sitting on it, as they passed by An Chen and Jiu Ge.

In the distance is a little girl with pigtails, who looks exactly like the one I saw when I first arrived in Jingcheng.

Because of the illusion of that era, all the spirits in this village are in a physical state, no different from ordinary people. If someone in extremely poor health or on the verge of death were to accidentally wander in, they probably wouldn't realize they've stumbled into some terrifying place.

At most, it will just be seen as a strange cosplay village, or a pipe dream.

Thinking of this, An Chen recalled the text called "The Plum Blossom Spring".

There are also terrifying speculations online that Plum Blossom Spring might be a sacred place.

An Chen believes that the author of Plum Blossom Spring may have actually stumbled into the Spirit Realm.

"Shall we go over there?" Jiu Ge tugged at An Chen's sleeve, but this time she didn't use force.

Nodding, An Chen led Jiu Ge toward the woman who was washing clothes.

"Hello, may I ask where this is?" Jiuge asked.

An Chen glanced at her and smiled.

He discovered that as long as she was doing a task, Jiuge could overcome all psychological barriers.

"Nie Meng Si Sui?" The woman turned around, her expression somewhat frightened.

Although Jiuge is very beautiful, her strange outfit is most likely an invasion, otherwise she wouldn't be dressed so strangely.

"Oh, I can give you something, my dear sister." She hugged the washed clothes to her chest and pretended to run away.

Jiuge nudged An Chen, giving him a look that said, "You better think of a solution right now!" "Does she see us as invading enemies?"

"Hello, we're just outsiders who wandered in by mistake. We mean no harm." An Chen tried to keep his expression gentle, but the woman still ran away without stopping.

“Ask someone else,” he said, pointing to a little boy nearby who was weeding.

Jiuge nodded and followed.

"Hello, we are from out of town. May I ask where this place is?" Jiuge asked, squatting down.

“This is Gouzi Bay,” the little boy replied after looking Jiuge up and down.

"What year, month, and day is it now?" An Chen squatted down as well.

Children are less guarded.

If they are sensible, they are quite cute, and they also look somewhat familiar.

"December 20th, 19xx, brother, are you the mentally challenged child that Grandpa said has a problem with his head?"

The little boy blinked, looking somewhat excited.

"No... I..." An Chen suddenly didn't find him cute anymore. He was about to explain when Jiu Ge interrupted him with her next words.

“Yes, so it was really tough for me to escape here with him.” Jiuge gave a very beautiful smile and even sighed.

"You were also invaded by the enemy? Where are you from?" The little boy looked as if he had just realized something.

He knew there was a war, but he didn't expect such a beautiful woman to be affected.

“…” An Chen stood up helplessly and stopped talking.

"We come from a very far place and are new to this place. We don't know anyone here," Jiuge said, looking quite distressed.

Chapter 75 My husband is asking you something.

"Okay, I'll take you to see your grandparents. We still have some food stored at home. If they agree, we can take you in."

The little boy hurriedly tossed the cut weeds aside.

He clapped his hands, put the picked vegetables into the basket, and then took Jiuge's hand.

"Thank you." Jiuge was a little surprised. The little boy was wearing a tattered cotton coat, and his hands were still warm, as if he were still alive and well in the illusion.

"You can call me Little Dog Egg. I also have a cousin named Little Twist." Little Dog Egg walked forward with Jiu Ge, looking very happy.

The pretty lady's hands are so soft and beautiful, it feels so comfortable to hold them.
