Chapter 228: Chapter 228
"You don't know about Magic Capital?"
Song Yun seemed very surprised. Now that network communications are so well-developed, even people in remote mountain villages probably know about a few famous cities in Hua Country.
Yet the words of the girl in front of him didn't seem to be a lie. Could it be that he had entered a place he shouldn't have?
"You, the outsider, are quite odd, I don't understand what you're saying. But that's to be expected, our village is very isolated, and we usually don't see outsiders for a year or two."
The young girl played with Song Yun's hair and smiled, "My name is Wen Shu, what's yours~"
"I'm Song Yun."
Song Yun stood up, but Wen Shu grabbed the hem of his clothes, squatting on the ground with a pitiful look as she said, "Every time an outsider comes in, they take a few villagers with them. Take me with you this time, please~ This village is too boring, and the head of the village is so mean, I get scolded for even a little mistake..."
Song Yun looked at the girl before him with intrigue, pondering the meaning behind her words.
First, she did not seem to know about the outside world, and second, this place was not connected to the outside world, only taken away by certain specific people who entered.
Where exactly is this?
Could it be just as Wen Shu said, this place is the village of saints?
Wait a second, Wen Shu?
Fuck! Isn't that the name of a Bodhisattva?
Parents are usually careful not to touch upon taboos when naming their children, even going as far as to name their child something like "Second Dog" or "Dog Leftovers" in some remote mountain areas, all for the sake of a humble name for an easier life.
"Wen Shu, may I ask what the other people in your village are named?"
Upon hearing Song Yun's question, Wen Shu answered without a second thought, "Maitreya, Great Saint, Jin Chan..."
Wen Shu mentioned a bunch of names, leaving Song Yun completely dumbfounded.
Fuck, where on earth is this!!
Song Yun had a feeling that if he really took Wen Shu with him, it would bring him a great deal of assistance!
He even believed that this village could be related to those hidden clan families!
"I'll take you with me, but we must agree on three rules: first, once outside, you must not tell anyone to have me marry you; second, you must tell me everything you know; third, if we ever encounter your people in the future and they want to do me harm, you must warn me."
Wen Shu vigorously nodded her little head, eager to agree. To her, escaping this cage was all that mattered, whether it be three conditions or thirty!
"Brother Song Yun, your clothes are still wet, and it gets windy here at night; you'll catch a cold. So, I suggest we first make a fire to dry the clothes before discussing leaving," Wen Shu cautiously proposed, fearing her words might upset Song Yun.
Jesus, the people in this village are all bloody insane!
Song Yun's combat power had been reduced by 50%, and he just wanted to run away fast!
"Let's go, I will take you away from this land devoid of humanity."
Having said that, Song Yun stood up and walked towards the distant jungle; Wen Shu excitedly followed behind him, trotting along.
Finally! She could finally run away!
In fact, she had not stolen the sacred object, or to put it another way, the sacred object was a divine item worshipped by the village. She intended to destroy it, but just as everything was going smoothly, the village chief suddenly burst into the sacred temple.
In order not to be discovered, she hid the sacred object in her mouth, intending to take it away.
However, the village chief had not come to pray; he intended to do something indecent to Wen Shu.
The startled young girl accidentally swallowed the sacred object, nearly choking herself to death.
Seeing Wen Shu's face turn red and struggling to breathe, the village chief was afraid of being accused by the villagers of killing the saintess on the spot, so he pulled up his pants and ran off.
After Wen Shu finally managed to swallow the object that was stuck in her throat, she knew if the villagers found out the sacred object was in her stomach, they would surely kill her and then take it out.
Wen Shu was a coward at heart, so she decided to run away without further ado.
...
Entering the jungle, Song Yun moved through it with the ease of an expert, while Wen Shu struggled to follow him.
This man is as strong as he looks; as long as she keeps running with him, the village folks surely can't find her when they're outside, right?
Half an hour later, Song Yun emerged from the jungle into an open view, but immediately after, he lost all senses related to Wen Shu!
You should know that Song Yun is extremely powerful in combat, and his sensory abilities had also been greatly enhanced by the system; nothing could escape his vigilance, not even the slightest rustling of grass.
But strangely, Wen Shu disappeared without a trace!
He quickly turned back and found that a hundred meters away, Wen Shu was struggling to climb a fallen tree; she truly existed!
What's going on?
Song Yun frowned, thinking if Wen Shu was some kind of special Spiritual Body, he would have been able to detect her with his own magical abilities.
But the thing is, she's a perfectly normal person!
It wasn't until Song Yun activated his Perspective Eyes that he began to see the clues.
