Chapter 93

Chapter 93: I’m Pretty Too, Look at Me, NianNian

The two of them walked along the winding path for a while, encountering many creatures only found in books along the way.

“So, all the spirit beasts that went extinct long ago ended up here.”

Sang Nian found it amazing:

“They’re still with their kin, isn’t it just like when they were alive?”

Xie Chenzhou: “Mhm.”

Sang Nian said happily:

“So, it seems that death isn’t so scary. It’s just a change of living place, and everyone is still together.”

Xie Chenzhou shook his head:

“Most humans after death will go to the Underworld to reincarnate. Only a very few will come here.”

“The Realm of Guixu is the final destination for all beings who are excluded from reincarnation.”

Sang Nian nodded repeatedly:

“I see.”

She unfolded the system map in her mind, and the Realm of Guixu, which had been grayed out, lit up, revealing all the routes clearly.

This place was divided into three sections:

Humans

Demons

Unknown

Sang Nian repeatedly looked at the location marked [Unknown], discovering that it was right ahead of them.

She asked Liu Liu: “What’s Unknown?”

Liu Liu was munching on melon seeds in her mind. Upon hearing this, she spat out the melon seed husks and said lazily:

“As the name suggests, Unknown is Unknown, which is to say, it’s Unknown.”

Sang Nian: “If you don’t speak properly, I’ll confiscate your melon seeds.”

Liu Liu immediately saluted:

“Reporting, Unknown is a gathering place for all creatures except humans and demons. Anything that doesn’t belong to either humans or demons lives here.”

Sang Nian was satisfied:

“Dismissed.”

Liu Liu sat down obediently and continued to munch on melon seeds, shaking her legs.

To get to the human gathering place, they had to pass through this [Unknown].

The spiritual energy here couldn’t be converted, so they couldn’t fly directly on their swords. They had to walk.

Sang Nian was cautious, finding an excuse to tell Xie Chenzhou:

“We have to be careful. There might be some ferocious beasts ahead.”

Seeing her serious expression, Xie Chenzhou’s hand holding his sword tightened, and his expression became equally serious.

They walked forward lightly.

At the end of the path, a thick, tall wall of flowers stood silently.

Countless vines hung down from above, blooming countless unnamed flowers, as brilliant as clouds.

There was a half-person-high entrance below the wall of flowers, seemingly the only passage.

Sang Nian: “Go through it?”

Xie Chenzhou had no objections and was about to go through first, but suddenly, the branches and leaves at the entrance moved.

He stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Sang Nian also swallowed, nervously staring at the entrance.

Rustling sounds came continuously.

Could it be a ferocious beast?

The two of them held their breath, their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready to draw them at any moment.

Suddenly, the sound stopped.

The ferocious beast emerged from the entrance.

“Ah~”

The ferocious beast roared.

Sang Nian: “?”

A little girl, only one or two years old, crawled out of the entrance, ran towards them with a patter, and precisely hugged Xie Chenzhou’s leg.

Xie Chenzhou: “.”

He lifted her away with one hand, but she then hugged his arm.

The little girl, with her delicate features, looked up at him with her black grape-like eyes, smiling like a flower.

Xie Chenzhou’s brow furrowed:

“Let go of me.”

The little girl: “Ah~”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” He emphasized, “Let go.”

Sang Nian reached out to tease the little girl, making her giggle:

“She’s so small, what does she know? You can talk yourself blue in the face, it won’t do any good.”

Xie Chenzhou said:

“In the middle of nowhere, a child suddenly appears. There’s definitely a trick to it.”

Sang Nian looked at the wall, stroking her chin and said:

“Let’s go see what’s behind it first, then we’ll draw conclusions.”

Xie Chenzhou didn’t move.

Sang Nian: “Come on.”

Xie Chenzhou and the little girl stared at each other.

Sang Nian could only say:

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll carry her.”

Xie Chenzhou dodged her hand, picked up the child with one hand, and with a frown, slashed a path with his sword:

“Let’s go.”

Sang Nian held back her laughter and followed him through the wall.

The scene behind the wall of flowers was completely different.

As far as the eye could see, mushroom-shaped wooden houses were everywhere.

Green vegetables were planted in front of the houses, and there were even cultivated fields on the distant hillside.

Fluffy little yellow chickens strolled leisurely, occasionally preening their feathers.

Everything in front of them was clearly a human village.

Sang Nian walked forward, observing as she went.

In the center of the village grew a huge ancient tree, almost as thick as dozens of people holding hands, with a canopy like a canopy, covering half the village.

She stood under the tree, and even looking up as high as she could, she couldn’t see the top.

“Is this place really Unknown?”

Sang Nian asked Liu Liu:

“Why does it feel no different from the human gathering place?”

Liu Liu:

“The map says so, but it’s also possible that some humans migrated here.”

Sang Nian thought this reason was plausible and nodded silently.

The village was quiet, as if there wasn’t a single person around.

But there were clearly many auras around.

Sang Nian winked at Xie Chenzhou.

Xie Chenzhou bent down and put the child down.

Sure enough, in the next second, a shadow rushed over, scooped the child into their arms, and pulled away from them.

Sang Nian saw the person’s face and was instantly amazed.

Her eyes were like autumn water, her bones like jade, her face like a lotus, her brows like willows.

A beauty, undeniably a great beauty.

Her clothes were also different from those of humans, light and agile, very much like the style of the elves.

There were also many sparkling pendants hanging from her hair, incredibly beautiful.

Sang Nian could tell at a glance that this sister was a good person.

She tried to strike up a conversation:

“Hello…”

The woman held the child and backed away, opening her mouth to speak a string of unfamiliar words, her pronunciation very unique, like a kind of feathered race.

Sang Nian, who hadn’t learned this foreign language, was completely confused.

She asked Xie Chenzhou: “Do you understand?”

Xie Chenzhou: “I can learn.”

Sang Nian: “…Just shut up.”

The little girl said something to the woman, and the woman’s expression softened, and she smiled kindly at Sang Nian and Xie Chenzhou.

Sang Nian: “…”

Help, she’s even prettier when she smiles.

Across from them, the woman spoke a couple of sentences in a jumble of words.

The doors of the houses opened one after another, and villagers came to her side.

No matter their age or gender, everyone was incredibly good-looking.

To put it bluntly, Sang Nian had never seen so many handsome men and beautiful women in her life.

Her eyes were glued to them.

Suddenly, Xie Chenzhou coughed loudly beside her.

She ignored him.

He lowered his brows and forcefully turned her face towards him.

Only then did Sang Nian come to her senses, swallowed, and said righteously:

“I’m just simply admiring beauty. I’m definitely not lusting after them.”

Xie Chenzhou: “Heh.”

Sang Nian clenched her fist: “Damn it, you actually saw through my brilliant lie.”

Xie Chenzhou paused, leaned down and whispered in her ear, his voice inexplicably filled with grievance:

“I’m pretty too, look at me.”

“NianNian.”
