Chapter (15)

Wang Hua's body itched, especially on the butt, and head, her shaggy white-gray hair was as if a cocoon so she couldn't prevent herself from itching either part; her bones cracked and buzzed, scarcely qualifying her to move forward faster.

"My Lady, please walk a little faster, I'm afraid of the dark!"

Yu Jia Yi was growling during the whole time, chattering around Wang Hua's frail nerve; the girl hadn't held her tongue unmoved even once since they left the cabin.

"Stop calling me that way! I've told you countless times you might let the cat out of the bag and don't expect me to move faster with this monolithic body I've gotten!"

She drawled the words, even using her tongue was quite hard. She munched with her empty mouth, her tongue was dry and thick.

"We don't have a cat in our bag, it is just Xiaojiao and she is not a cat, she is a wolf cub!"

Wang Hua snarled, this light-headed bird was beyond belief, despite that yet she preferred her being around chattering, she missed her so much when she was absent.

"That is an idiom, it means that be careful not to reveal our identity."

Whizz!

Fizzle!

Whoopee! Blaaarp!

Ah, explaining that needed so much strength and put pressure on her belly.

"Can you smell that?"

The handsome Jia Yi beside Wang Hua quickly covered her mouth with her wide dark blue sleeve, "Ah, it's gross!"

"I'm sorry, I don't know how it escaped, but this body is frail and I can no longer control my bowels."

Whoopee, Blaarp!

"Oh my holy heaven, You keep farting!"

Jia Yi's eyes ran wide, waving her hand to draw the smell away. The maiden was carrying the bamboo basket on her back, Xiaojiao growled and jolted from inside; it seemed the stinky scent disturbed her nap, and she was unsatisfied as well.

In the meantime, Wang Hua smirked, and looked up, slowly proceeding her path.

"We are finally here!"

It was the Shenghuo village gate, the name was carved on a majestic plate atop the gate.

Many legends went on to describe this gate with its significant dragon carvings. White and Black stone dragons stirred around each pillar on either side, moving atop to reach the golden stone star.

No one could estimate how old they were but some intellectuals conceded that the first gods had structured this gate to protect Shenghuo village.

Even seeing the gate didn't rejoice Jia Yi and she was timid to approach Wang Hua. The air around her was truly poisonous. She flapped her manly arms like an anxious bird, jumping around to clean the air.

"Look how majestic this gate is! I can sense a massive spiritual essence!"

Whoopee! Blaaarp!

"Hey, if talking pressures you, just avoid it! I'm fine with it."

Wang Hua could not suppress her bafflement, these dragons could not be inscribed by humans, only gods were potent enough to let their spiritual essence seal this gate. Her eyes twinkled beneath the massive eyebrows that covered them. She yearned for this power, to become a god and potent.

Shenghuo village was the largest village in the whole empire and also the most prosperous one. If it were not for the Spirit Forest, this village should have been a big frontier city. People fear the forest and that was why you couldn't find many folks, not more than four thousand.

It led to two immortal mountains and sometimes hosted disciples and mastered cultivators who traversed the mountains to hunt demons that warranted them prizes and good bounty.

However, sitting in such an area also benefited the residents, from north, west and south, and east, or better to say from all the wings of the compass, people used to cross this village.

Crossing the gate, they entered the village, "It seems there is a parade proceeding ahead!" Jia Yi started, streets were swarmed by many people.

"Aren't they Xue Mountain's grade four disciples?"

Jia Yi pointed to a group of people who were sitting at a table. All of them clad in light blue, they had Xue mountain's pendants. The pendant was a light blue jade attached to a sunflower, indicating their goddess Alpha Lupi.

They believed that she would one day come back to defeat the dark Queen. According to prophecies, they had fought with each other five thousand years ago.

"Hoi, slow down! I can't continue at your pace!"

Wang Hua grunted; this girl was muddle-headed, entirely forgot about her, and was stunned by some pretty disciples.

That was Jin restaurant, its owner was a haughty five-hundred-year-old white Peacock demon. He had never shown cruelty, on the contrary, he saved this village frequently, and that was why the folk accepted him and served him in esteem. Even immortals treated him differently.

"They are formidable and pretentious, let's find a path to the stalls!"

Wang Hua notes; these people might be familiar with the Face Slap elixir and the aura that it emitted. If they were taught how to use its Extruder enchantment, Wang Hua could not combat them or evade their possible accusation.

As long as she knew, her father always made Extruder enchantments to reveal the impact of elixirs from injured cultivators and soldiers as well, because it could harm inward organs as for the lack of spiritual essence.

Rounding a twist, they headed to the stalls, and the scent of delicious food ran through their nostrils, assaulting their bellies, and their mouth turned watery. Even as the elder daughter of Wang Manor, she had never got a chance to eat well. Her small figure was always frail and her father used to believe that she was a picky eater. But she was never allowed to eat with the rest of her family.

When her father was away from home, the situation even deteriorated and it was Wang Ah Lam who secretly brought her lotus mooncakes. Sometimes, she used to bring her porridge or desserts to share with Wang Hua.

She shoved the train of her memories away. She must be cautious now. Her stepmother had assigned someone to watch over the current circumstances near the capital and acknowledge her. If that person was an advanced cultivator, she was done there right before selling her Crane herb.

Unfortunately, nothing could slip from Wang Xiuying's sight.
