The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 932 - 908: Endless Night

"Hao Ruxue, come with me to see the Village Chief."

Someone knocked on the door from outside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao opened her eyes. She had been resting with her eyes closed, preparing to explore in the evening.

As a result, the inevitable came.

Jiang Xiaoxiao needed to meet the Village Chief.

Why were they brought here and locked up?

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed the man outside, walking fifty meters to reach a three-story house made of red bricks and white tiles. Amidst the snow, it looked even more like a house from a fairy tale.

Upon entering, the living room was warm.

"Welcome, Hao Ruxue. I really didn’t expect the latest genius pharmacist of the Medicine God Association would be here with us. Come, have a seat."

A tall and large elderly lady rushed over, giving Jiang Xiaoxiao no time to speak, engulfing her in a hug.

The suffocating embrace allowed Jiang Xiaoxiao to take a good look at the people in the living room.

Three boys were staring at her with flickering eyes.

The atmosphere felt odd.

She couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, just felt it was off.

"Madam, are you the Village Chief?"

Typically, upon hearing the name "Village Chief," one tends to think of a man. She hadn’t expected the village would have a seventy or eighty-year-old lady as the chief, a female chief who was also highly esteemed.

The elderly lady nodded, "My surname is Gu. If we’re being precise, I’m actually a relative of your Medicine God Association’s Chairman, Gu Yang. He would call me his aunt by generation, but now, I guess Gu Yang wouldn’t acknowledge me as his aunt."

The elderly lady spoke straightforwardly.

"Village Chief Gu, I’ve only met Chairman Gu once. We’re not very familiar. I really must thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, we might have frozen to death out here in the snowy mountains. I’m just curious as to where our Medicine God Association’s school is. Why couldn’t we find it after searching everywhere?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked even more directly.

"Actually, this isn’t the Medicine God Association’s school. It’s just a branch of the Association. Here, students undergo half a year of training annually. This so-called training is to prepare you for survival in the wild.

Because each of you will eventually participate in the trial at the Kunlun Mountain Range. However, I hadn’t expected they would arrange for you new students to report here. Clearly, they also didn’t foresee this once-in-a-century weather anomaly happening, with the weather anomaly at the Kunlun Mountains causing surrounding areas to be affected as well.

If I’m not mistaken, following past patterns, this weather anomaly will last for over a year. Don’t assume that this anomaly only brings heavy snow; the cold is only the beginning. Here, we may face volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, blizzards, and weather conditions you can’t even imagine.

Like tornadoes, or even tsunamis. Here, you will encounter every unimaginable weather scenario. So for now, leaving is absolutely out of the question."

Old Mrs. Gu immediately enlightened Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Jiang Xiaoxiao instantly believed her. There was no need for them to lie—it was true that the new students had indeed entered here as instructed by the Medicine God Association.

This wasn’t something anyone else could impersonate, and the weather anomaly was visible to everyone, so lying would be pointless.

It seemed they were extraordinarily lucky.

Or was it just her own luck?

"Village Chief Gu, if that’s the case, won’t we be imposing on you for a long time? As you said, living on this mountain, what should we do in such circumstances?"

Old Mrs. Gu smiled kindly at Jiang Xiaoxiao, her benevolent expression making it hard to dislike her.

She didn’t seem like a bad person, but Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that the four of them, including Wu Yang, had been taken and locked in the basement, which couldn’t be considered a kind gesture.

"We reside not just on this mountain but in West City, where every household retains a centuries-old underground shelter. This shelter is specifically to protect against the weather anomaly that occurs every three hundred years.

This time, it came a few months early, which even the Medicine God Association didn’t anticipate, but we have preparations in place.

If there are floods or volcanic eruptions, or tornadoes, we can just move underground."

Underground shelter and basement?

Jiang Xiaoxiao wondered if this claim was true. Could she have been mistaken?

She could see Wu Yang and the others, but she couldn’t hear what they were saying.

Indeed, they weren’t bound, as the basement seemed quite decent.

"I really didn’t expect Village Chief Gu to have such thorough preparations."

Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

Village Chief Gu’s gaze was intense as she looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao. "I heard that Hao is quite extraordinary, and that Hao Ruxue can refine Super-grade elixirs?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "That was purely by accident. I accidentally refined the Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pill, an elixir which the older generations might recognize. It’s been passed down in the Hao family for generations, but I’m not capable of creating other elixirs."

The other party was evidently curious about her skills in refining elixirs, with every sentence revolving around alchemy.

They even invited Jiang Xiaoxiao to visit their Alchemy Room.

Jiang Xiaoxiao refused. The Alchemy Room is the heritage of every family—filled with secrets, not casually shown to outsiders.

What would it look like if she went?

If they used it as an excuse to detain her or capture her for stealing secrets, she wouldn’t have a reason to defend herself.

She would not fall for such a tactic.

Village Chief Gu didn’t make things difficult for Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was sent back.

In the following days, Jiang Xiaoxiao witnessed what true abnormal weather was. On one side, it was snowing heavily, while on the other side, the sun was shining brightly.

It was frustrating.

That night.

In the middle of the night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Jiang Xiaoxiao got up.

...

Wu Yang opened his eyes and heard a rustling sound, different from the noise made when meals were delivered. Those people wouldn’t be sneaky—they were in charge.

Why would they need to be sneaky?

Sitting up, he realized the sound was coming from beside his bed.

Wu Yang leaned over.

With a rumble, a wall panel fell off, followed by several others, revealing a hole in front of Wu Yang.

Wu Yang swallowed. Who could be so strange?

He had always thought the ground under his bed was concrete. Was it indeed?

"Wu Yang, Wu Yang!"

The low call brought Wu Yang to his senses.

It was Hao Ruxue’s voice.

He hurriedly rushed over.

"Xiao Xiao, why are you here? You must leave quickly! These people aren’t good people; they have a grudge against my grandfather. These people are criminals exiled to the Kunlun Mountains. Capturing us must be for no good, either to threaten my grandfather or for some conditions. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Protect yourself and go as far as you can. Hurry up and leave, don’t worry about us! We still have value to them, and they definitely won’t harm us."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was speechless, realizing Wu Yang was a fool.

His words clearly had flaws.

Wu Yang being captured made sense, but what about Bai Xiao, Xiao Yue, and Liu Yun?

They weren’t from prominent families; keeping them served no purpose.
