Chapter 84 Yunxi Enters the Village
"This place is not far from the Cangmang Mountains. If you head east, you should arrive soon."
As Yunxi spoke, she gently put the jade pendant back into her hand, and the light flowing over it gradually subsided.
Shi An looked around, feeling the unfamiliar yet somehow familiar atmosphere of the mountain forest, and secretly estimated the approximate distance from here back to Shi Village.
Although it's still not close, at least we have a general idea of where we are now, so we don't have to worry about getting lost.
Thinking of this, Shi An couldn't help but bow to Yun Xi, his tone sincere: "Thank you for seeing me off, Miss!"
After saying that, Shi An took a step and prepared to leave.
"etc··········"
But just then, Yunxi's slightly hesitant voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Shi An paused, then turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression, asking, "Miss, is there anything else?"
"I...you..."
Yunxi looked at Shi An, a complex light flashing in her eyes, as if she had something to say but didn't know where to begin.
She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered the courage to speak: "The effect of my Noble Phantasm can only be used once a year, so..."
Upon hearing this, Shi An frowned and his face darkened.
Although Yunxi didn't finish her sentence, Shi An had already guessed what she meant. She clearly wanted to stay with him for a while and wait for the cooldown of that treasure to end.
At the same time, he was 100% certain that this decision was not made by Yunxi herself, but by her grandfather, that insidious old fox.
Thinking it over, Shi An looked calmly at Yun Xi and said, "Your grandfather told you to do this, didn't he?"
"yes·······"
Shi An's sudden words caught Yun Xi off guard, causing her to instinctively retort. However, her reaction was swift, and she quickly corrected herself, saying, "No, it wasn't Grandfather who arranged it, it was me..."
"No explanation needed."
Unfortunately, before Yunxi could finish speaking, Shi An preemptively asked, "We both know what that old guy means. Do you really think this is a good idea?"
"I·······"
Faced with Shi An's seemingly accusatory words, Yun Xi fell silent for a moment.
How could she not understand her grandfather's arrangements? After all, he had clearly stated that she should get along well with the other party, and even, if possible, make the other party fall in love with her.
But she didn't know what to do about this arrangement!
She should hate him, after all, he not only did that to her, but also forcibly took her spirit pendant. All of this was enough to make her hate him to death.
But the other party overpowered the Monkey King in Hundred Broken Mountains, and ultimately displayed the prowess of the Twelve Cave Heavens overpowering many kings of Hundred Broken Mountains. In addition, the other party had recently spared her and her grandfather's lives. She really didn't know what to do.
"Sigh~"
Seeing Yunxi's conflicted expression, Shi An couldn't help but sigh softly, and finally said calmly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Since you want to go, then go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's eyes flashed with surprise. She had thought Shi An would refuse, but she did not expect him to agree so easily. A complex emotion welled up in her heart, including gratitude and a sense of inexplicable loss.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she only whispered, "Thank you."
There was a slight, almost imperceptible tremor in the voice.
"Need not."
Shi An didn't say much about it, just nodded slightly, and then turned around and continued on his way home.
Seeing this, Yunxi quickly followed.
And so, the two of them walked through the mountains and forests, one in front of the other.
Although they traveled together, they maintained a certain distance from each other. Occasionally their eyes would meet, but they would quickly look away. This created an atmosphere that was both incredibly awkward and subtly harmonious.
As time went by, the two ventured deeper into the mountains and forests, where the surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate.
Relying on his memory of this mountain range, Shi An led Yun Xi around one dangerous place after another.
After walking through the mountains and forests for two months, the two finally arrived at the other side of the vast mountain range.
Looking at the clear lake and tall willows in the distance that overlapped with his memory, Shi An felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
At the same time, Yunxi was also amazed by the scenery in the distance. In this vast wilderness, there was such a beautiful view. She could hardly believe that this was still the wilderness.
It was so peaceful there, with lush green grass, azure lakes, and auspicious birds and unicorns undisturbed by people. A small village sat in front, emanating wisps of spiritual energy and the aroma of herbs.
It was obvious that many medicinal herbs were planted in the village, and the flowing auspicious clouds and wisps of white mist made the village look like a fairyland.
Such a secluded village brings peace to one's heart, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world, bringing inner tranquility, as if one has received a spiritual baptism.
What shocked Yunxi the most was the willow tree at the entrance of the village. It was lush and green, with its branches hanging down and swaying gently, creating soft green hues and a halo.
Its existence has transformed this world, imbuing it with a sacred aura, transcending the mundane.
"This willow tree is..."
Yunxi was shocked. She came from the ancient divine mountain and had seen all kinds of powerful figures, but she was still stunned by this.
"This is the spirit medium of our village."
Looking at the towering willow tree, Shi An couldn't help but chuckle, his face full of pride.
Come to think of it, which other village besides this one could have a supreme immortal king as its sacrificial spirit?
Upon hearing this, Yunxi was completely shocked. This was the spirit of a village? Why did it feel even more mysterious than the spirit of a country? That sacred aura, that transcendence, was simply indescribable!
Yunxi Petrochemical, what kind of village is this? It's so mysterious.
The village was filled with the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking, and was teeming with the vitality of the world. Children ran and jumped around, creating a joyful atmosphere.
"Little An is back!"
"Huh? Xiao An actually brought people back to the village? This is the first time!"
The arrival of Shi An and his companion undoubtedly stirred up ripples in the once quiet village, as if a stone had been dropped into the water.
The villagers came out of their houses one after another, curiously looking at the woman who came with Shi An.
Upon seeing this, Shi An hesitated for a moment.
According to the rules of Shi Village, he should have carried Yunxi back to the village, but his current relationship with Yunxi...
While pondering, Shi An unconsciously glanced at Yun Xi beside him.
The other person was slightly bowing their head, their hands gently clasped in front of them, a gentle yet slightly reserved smile on their face, and a look in their eyes that showed both curiosity about the unknown environment and a hint of nervousness that was not easily detected.
Her gaze occasionally met the villagers' curious stares, but she quickly looked away, seemingly a little embarrassed.
