Looking at the woman with a face full of worry, Feng Ninghe said without hesitation, "We are not gossips, you can rest assured we won't spread this around."
The woman sighed, her face filled with sorrow, "Strange things happen in the village every year. The High Priest contacts the Heavenly God, and only by sacrificing beautiful young women to the Heavenly God can the village's peace be bought..."
The Heavenly God married on the fifteenth of every month, and the village had lost nearly a hundred young women because of it.
The Heavenly God kept his promise and protected the village's peace.
Xiao Ya was the woman's daughter, married to the Heavenly God two months ago.
But Xiao Ya had escaped.
After escaping, Xiao Ya became this foolish and dazed.
The villagers all said Xiao Ya had offended the Heavenly God and was punished, which was why she became like this.
Since then, the woman had taken Xiao Ya and fled the village, seeking medical help everywhere.
Doctors could not diagnose Xiao Ya's condition, so the woman came to the Medicine Valley in desperation...
"Achoo!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Bai Niannian, who was dozing off, seemed to sense something and sneezed forcefully.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around, mumbling, "Wasn't I drinking? How did I fall asleep?"
She specifically looked to her side.
She saw Feng Xing pulling the quilt, sleeping soundly.
"Ah!"
Bai Niannian cried out in surprise, a blush instantly appearing on her cheeks, and she quickly got up.
Feng Xing was startled by her cry and opened his eyes. He sat up hesitantly and asked, "Why are we here?"
Memories also surged into his mind at that moment.
Bai Niannian's pupils also contracted sharply at that moment.
She then remembered what happened after drinking.
After drinking, the servant brought hangover soup.
She refused to drink it, clinging to Feng Xing like an octopus.
Bai Niannian's lips twitched involuntarily, and a hint of shame crept into her eyes.
No one knew how embarrassed she was.
She didn't even dare to turn her head to look at Feng Xing and quickly changed the subject, "A Xing, I have some things to ask Master, so I'll be going ahead."
Watching Bai Niannian's hurried departure, Feng Xing was slightly stunned. He wanted to call out to Bai Niannian but remained silent.
He could understand why the woman was fleeing, clearly feeling embarrassed...
"Miss Bai, you're finally awake."
The servant happened to be coming from the opposite direction and quickly called out upon seeing Bai Niannian, "I really wanted to bring you hangover soup. You knocked over yesterday's hangover soup, and I saw you sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you. It seems you're sober now."
Bai Niannian took the bowl of hangover soup without hesitation and drank it all, "My head is still a bit foggy, I really need hangover soup."
The servant nodded earnestly and agreed, "Miss Bai, you should drink less in the future. The way you get drunk is truly terrifying..."
Mentioning getting drunk, Bai Niannian's cheeks instantly filled with dark lines, and she quickly said, "Family shame should not be spread outside. Please keep it a secret for me, as if nothing happened."
The servant covered his mouth and smiled, his face filled with a strong smile, "Okay, okay, then I'll keep it a secret for Miss Bai."
"Where is Master?"
Bai Niannian changed the subject.
Facing the question, the servant said without hesitation, "A woman came for a consultation today. Her daughter seems to have lost her soul, and the Valley Master is treating her."
"Lost her soul?"
A dull, wooden male voice came from behind.
Bai Niannian turned her head and saw Feng Xing striding over, his handsome face carrying a hint of deep meaning, "Why did she lose her soul?"
Cultivators have strong willpower, and their souls do not leave their bodies easily.
He hadn't heard of soul loss for a long time.
Bai Niannian also swept away her unease at this moment and looked at the servant, "Yes, why would someone lose their soul for no reason?"
The servant shook his head slightly, "I don't know the specifics. I just happened to overhear when I passed by. It seems even the Valley Master can't do anything."
"Oh?"
Feng Xing's interest was piqued at this moment, and he said enthusiastically, "Niannian, let's go take a look."
Bai Niannian nodded repeatedly, "I've never seen someone who lost their soul. I'm quite curious what a person who lost their soul would be like."
The two of them had the same idea and strode forward.
In the room.
The woman recounted the entire story and wiped away the tears falling from her eyes, "My poor daughter... she sacrificed herself to the Heavenly God for the village's peace, but she ended up like this..."
"There are no Heavenly Gods in this world."
Si Jianye said dismissively, his sharp eyes filled with contempt, "If there were Heavenly Gods, I would be their father."
Even he did not claim to be a god, yet someone dared to call themselves a god in this world.
The woman was slightly stunned, not expecting the man in front of her to say such a thing.
Axi nodded in approval, "Indeed, where are there Heavenly Gods in this world? Even if there are Heavenly Gods, they would be cultivators who have attained the Dao."
Mentioning Heavenly Gods, a look of fear appeared in the woman's eyes, "At first, we didn't believe in Heavenly Gods either, but this High Priest could summon the Heavenly God to call forth wind and rain! The villagers then believed in the existence of Heavenly Gods!"
Si Jianye raised his eyelids, his contempt deepening.
Although he was disdainful, he didn't say more. In his eyes, the woman in front of him was ignorant and unworthy of his explanation.
Even if there were gods in this world, it should be him.
Ordinary people were just pretending to be gods.
Feng Ninghe looked up at the sky, "There are only a few days left until the fifteenth, and this so-called Heavenly God is about to take a wife again. If we leave now, we have plenty of time and can reach the village before the Heavenly God's wedding."
"Miss, I do hope you will intervene in this matter, but the village is too dangerous, and I fear you will be in danger." The woman spoke her true feelings.
Feng Ninghe smiled dismissively, "Xiao Ya narrowly escaped from the so-called Heavenly God. I suspect her soul is trapped, and to know the truth, we need to go to the village to investigate."
She was somewhat curious about what means the 'Heavenly God' used to make Xiao Ya's soul completely leave her body.
The woman bit her lip tightly and finally nodded in agreement, "Miss, I've heard that Medicine Valley not only has excellent medical skills but also a powerful Valley Master. If necessary, you can just run away yourselves!"
Feng Ninghe turned her gaze to Xiao Ya on the bed, "The soul cannot be separated from the body for too long. Let's take her with us. Perhaps it will help her find her soul sooner."
The woman nodded repeatedly in agreement, "I have a wooden house outside the village where Xiao Ya can be temporarily housed."
Creak—
The door was suddenly pushed open.
A clear, slightly disdainful female voice slowly fell, "If you ask me, this so-called Heavenly God is just pretending to be a god!"
Bai Niannian and Feng Xing strode in.
The two of them had clearly overheard quite a bit.
