After saying that, Lian'er rubbed her belly aggrievedly.
The chief witch was immediately furious.
"You loser girl! I asked you to look after a prisoner! Not to support an old man!"
"He wants to eat meat, so you give it to him? Why do you listen to him? Can't you just pick up a few poisonous scorpions and spiders from the roadside and give them to him?"
"Ah?" Lian'er stared at her watery eyes pitifully, "But that man doesn't have the holy child physique of the great witch. He will die if he eats the poison."
"Why do you care whether he lives or dies?"
The great witch could no longer bear it.
She was so regretful that she almost turned green with regret. Why did she choose such a stupid thing when she chose her maid?
"I'm so pissed off. Never mind. If you want to be hungry, just go ahead and starve yourself. You deserve it!"
She said viciously, "I will be in seclusion for the next two days and study the books about the Heavenly Dao."
"I won't see anyone who comes. Got it? Including the person who just came."
"Then, what if they insist on seeing the High Witch?" Lian'er blinked.
"You won't even tell them to go away?"
"Go away? Why don't you let them go?"
"you--"
The chief witch nearly died.
She tried to tell herself that she had chosen the maid, so she had to endure the tears. After a long while, she slowly gritted her teeth.
"If they insist on staying here, just arrange for them to stay in the village and don't notify me. They can wait as long as they want."
After saying this, the chief witch stood up and prepared to go back to her retreat.
Before leaving, she seemed to remember something and warned him fiercely:
"Remember! Don't provide them with food! If they want to wait, let them find food by themselves!"
Lian'er hummed obediently.
The chief witch then sighed deeply, turned around and walked towards the place where she was in seclusion.
-
Outside the mountain, the masked man walked out of the village not far before arriving at a remote cave.
"System, contact the Son of God."
Soon, the calm yet uncomfortable face of the Son of God appeared in front of him.
"How's it going?"
"The Great Witch has obtained the Heavenly Dao Dust, but she is still not completely confident in us and has not yet integrated it."
The masked man whispered, "But I have already inquired about it in advance. There are records about the Heavenly Dao Dust in Wuxuan Cave."
"I think it won't be long before she makes up her mind to merge."
"Well done." The Son of God said calmly, "This Heavenly Dao Dust from Wuxuanku is also of a higher level. I think even if it is not as good as the one from Frost Moon Sword Fairy, it is not much worse."
"If the Great Witch obtains the power of this system, we will have a much better chance of dealing with Yu Ling."
"...It's just a pity." He sighed again, "Shen Shuanglian's Heavenly Dao Fragrance is really too well protected by Yu Ling and Wu Ling Sect, so he has no chance at all."
"If we can get her piece, why go to all this trouble."
The masked man just listened in a low voice without saying a word.
"You did a good job on the Wuxuan Cave matter."
The Son of God nodded arrogantly: "Now, I can be sure of your sincerity."
"Don't worry, if you join Shenli, as long as you are wholeheartedly with us, we will never treat you unfairly."
"Once this matter is settled, you can take over the position of the Right Divine Envoy who died some time ago. When the heavenly calamity comes, there will be a reward."
When mentioning the death of the previous right-hand messenger of God, a hint of gloom appeared on the Son of God's face.
It seemed that he remembered something unpleasant.
"Thank you, Lord Son of God." The masked man bowed respectfully.
Shen Zi nodded, then slowly ended the scene.
Silence returned to the cave, leaving only the masked man standing motionless, facing the dark mountain wall.
Don't know what to think.
"...Are you sure you want to do this?" The system's voice sounded slowly.
"Why bother advising me?"
The masked man slowly lowered his head: "It's no different from dying anyway, it's better to leave something behind."
"I'm just sorry."
"Alas, I don't care that much whether the plot record is completed or not." The system sighed earnestly.
"If you really count it, I am also responsible for forcing you to death because of the plot record. It would be better to exchange my life for yours and die gloriously with you."
"If I really have to say sorry, it's me who should be sorry for you."
The masked man said nothing.
"It has come to this, is there anything else you can't let go of?"
The masked man thought about it and shook his head.
"Except for my parents, no one else."
"Really gone?"
“…It’s really gone.”
In this world, there are always people who are dispensable.
Less is less.
No one will remember.
No one will feel sorry for you.
172. I am not a child
The Hundred Thousand Mountains in the Southern Territory are indeed farther away than imagined.
In addition, Nan Xiaoxiang was just an ordinary person after all, so Chen Yin and his party were not moving very fast. It took them almost half a month to finally reach the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The climate here has begun to become somewhat hot and humid, and there are very few inhabited villages around the barren mountains.
If you want to find the location of Wuxuan Cave aimlessly here, it will take a long time even in Taiqing Realm.
Fortunately, Nan Xiaoxiang is there to lead the way.
-
The forest was so dense that no sunlight could be seen. The weeds around were almost half a man's height.
Chen Yin and his three companions traveled through the deep mountains and dense forests, but they still couldn't reach the end after walking for a long time.
"Are you sure you are really here?" Qingying finally couldn't help but ask.
"This place doesn't look like a place where people live, let alone a sect of immortal cultivators."
"Wuxuan Cave has been living with poisonous miasma for generations, and this deep mountain forest is their natural barrier."
Nan Xiaoxiang wiped the sweat from her forehead and explained with her red lips panting softly: "Even if an enemy wants to come to our door, they will have to break a layer of skin before crossing the mountains."
Chen Yin noticed that Luo Luo behind him had been a little listless, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I, I don't know... I feel a little dizzy..."
Luo Luo lowered her head and leaned beside Chen Yin with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Although this place is not yet a place with heavy miasma, the miasma that has accumulated over the years is dangerous enough."
Nan Xiaoxiang walked up to her and gently placed his hand on Luoluo's forehead.
"Well... I was indeed slightly affected by the miasma."
"It's okay. I have prepared some antidote pills in advance."
After Luoluo took it and ate it, she felt much more refreshed and not as uncomfortable anymore.
"Even monks can't stand this kind of miasma, how come you, a mortal, are fine?" Chen Yin couldn't help but ask.
Nan Xiaoxiang stared at him without saying anything.
...Yes. She also crawled out of a poison den, so her poison resistance must have been maxed out.
Nan Xiaoxiang distributed the pills to Qingying and Luoluo, but when it came to Chen Yin, he shook his head.
"I do not need."
"Why?" Nan Xiaoxiang's beautiful eyes frowned, "Even if you are at the Upper Pure Realm, you will be poisoned if you eat this kind of poisonous miasma for a long time, right?"
But Chen Yin shrugged and said he was fine.
It's indeed okay.
Even without the "Wang Yan Xin Hua Lu" plug-in to restore his body, Chen Yin still seemed to be unaffected by the poisonous miasma.
He guessed it was because of the azure spiritual power in his body.
"If you like to show off, don't ask me to give you the antidote when you feel dizzy later."
Nan Xiaoxiang turned around with her beautiful eyes calmly and continued walking forward.
I don’t know how many hills I have walked over.
The poisonous miasma had become increasingly heavier, almost obscuring the vision like fog.
Chen Yin didn't know how Nan Xiaoxiang was able to identify the direction in such a thick poisonous miasma.
He even doubted for a moment whether this woman would cheat him.
But just as it was getting dark, the poisonous miasma in front of them faded away slightly, revealing a mountain village hidden deep in the mountains.
This village is extremely large, stretching over several hills, but it seems to be sparsely populated, with almost no people.
Chen Yin walked all the way to the entrance of the village before he saw a little girl squatting on the ground picking grass next to a wooden house.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips and white teeth, which was very pleasing. Especially the unique clothes she wore were completely different from the folk style of Middle-earth, making her look like a mountain elf.
"Miss, is this the Wuxuan Cave?" Chen Yin stepped forward to greet her.
The girl turned her head, blinked her clear and lively eyes, and looked at everyone curiously.
"Who are you? How did you find this place?"
"Chen Yin of Yushan, I would like to see the chief witch of Wuxuan Cave for something." Chen Yin bowed politely.
"But the chief witch told Lian'er that she is now in seclusion and not seeing anyone."
Lian'er bit her fingertips gently and looked at them timidly.
Chen Yin and Nan Xiaoxiang looked at each other and continued, "How long will the Great Witch be in seclusion? Can we wait here?"
"I don't know... Sometimes it's only one or two days, and sometimes it doesn't come out for half a year."
Lian Er blinked: "But the head witch said that if you must wait, you can prepare your own food. We in Wuxuan Cave don't provide meals."
Chen Yin was stunned for a moment, his face looking a little strange.
...What kind of immortal cultivation sect would be so stingy that it wouldn't even leave food for its guests?
As if she could see through his doubts, Nan Xiaoxiang opened her red lips slightly and said, "Wu Xuan Ku has always been secluded from the world and rarely communicates with the outside world."
"The Shiwan Mountains are hostile and it is difficult to grow crops. The food in Wuxuan Cave is almost all contributed voluntarily by believers in the Southern Region."
"But there are few people living in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so food is not abundant."
"Eh? How do you know so much, sister?"
Lian Er looked at her in surprise: "Sister, do you also live in the Shiwanda Mountains?"
