Feng Jiu smiled. She took down the formation array, jumped on Old White’s back, and rode down the road.
The wind carried the scent of salty sea water along the coastline. After riding a while, she spotted a small coastal village.
“It’s getting dark. I don’t know how far it is from town. Since there is a small mountain village, let’s rest here.” Anyway, their schedule wasn’t too tight, and she hadn’t gotten much sleep lately. She might as well make a stop in this humble mountain village before continuing on her journey.
“Master, there might not be anything good to eat here.” Old White said, concerned about the food.
“How can there be no good food in a place with a sea view?” Feng Jiu smiled. “You, on the other hand, can’t talk in front of people for fear of scaring them.”
!!
“Yes.” Old White said, taking her to the place ahead.
When they arrived at the small mountain village, Feng Jiu dismounted and Old White followed. When she entered the village, she discovered that there were only a dozen households. Some children were playing outside and the elderly people were sitting at the doors.
People stopped what they were doing to stare at her. Some of them even took the children back inside and shut the door.
When she saw this, she approached an elderly holding a child in his arms, smiled, and said, “Old man, I”m just pa.s.sing through. Can I spend the night here?”
“Immortal, you’d like to spend the night here? Of course, you can do so.” The elderly man stood up nervously. After giving it some thought, he then said, “It’s just that we don’t have anything good to entertain you with.”
He had never seen a girl in red who was as stunningly beautiful as a fairy before. But he knew that only the immortals above could be so graceful and charming.
People in their small village couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to entertainimmortals. They had never thought that such an immortal would ever visit this place.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m very laid back.” Feng Jiu smiled. When she saw the skinny child in the elderly man’s arms blinking curiously at her, she then took a few fruits from the s.p.a.ce.
“These are for you.” She handed the fruits to the child, who did not respond and stared at the elderly man.
“Oh, you shouldn’t.”The bright red fruit was fresh and juicy, with a sweet aroma. When he saw the fruits, his mouth watered, but he didn’t dare to accept them.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s just a few fruits, so take it!” Feng Jiu smiled and shoved the fruits into the elderly man’s hand.
The elderly man took the fruits with trembling hands, thanking her repeatedly, and invited Feng Jiu into the room.
“Old White, stay right here.” Feng Jiu pointed to the side, telling it not to run around.
Old White nodded, but did not speak; it simply came to the side to lie down and rest, as instructed by its master.
The elderly man led Feng Jiu to the back of the house and said, “Immortal, I have an unoccupied room here. Can you check to see if it’s livable for you?” He was a little nervous because his house was run-down and he felt it was incompatible with this beautiful immortal in red.
“Yes, as long as I can get some rest.” Feng Jiu then asked, “Old man, is it just the two of you in the family? Why are there only the elderly and young children here? What about the young people?”
When he heard her question, tears welled up in the elderly man’s eyes. He remained silent for a moment before lifting his thin hand to wipe the tears away.
