The female scholar hurried over to pat his chest to smooth out his qi.

The script wasn’t over yet, and later they would probably have to join forces to deal with some big boss.

At a time like this, one less person meant one less bit of strength!

Suddenly!

The female scholar seemed to sense something and abruptly turned her head to look toward the corner of the yard where the Osmanthus Tree was, then glanced towards the direction of North Mountain.

...

She said hastily, “Let’s leave this place quickly and head to the ritual hall in Osmanthus Village!”

What others could discover,

The female scholar could naturally discover as well.

She used a gadget to investigate Osmanthus Village and found that the entire village was planted with Osmanthus Trees, except for the yard of the ritual hall!

This was a situation that wasn’t so strange, but upon further thought seemed a bit peculiar.

And after discovering that there was an Abyss beneath every Osmanthus Tree, the female scholar paid even more attention to this situation.

Perhaps the ritual hall had some purpose here.

The village head had just finished smoothing out his qi when he suddenly felt another blockage in his chest!

He said in frustration, “The ritual hall was burned down by Wang Tiezhu this afternoon, if we go now, we would probably still see a pile of ruins.”

The female scholar: “…”

Miss Wang: “…”

Then, they remembered.

The two servants from the Wang Family who had been guarding the door had mentioned this.

But at that time, they were preoccupied with doing tasks in the Wang Family ancestral hall and hadn’t thought about this issue.

The female scholar gritted her teeth and said, “Even if it’s ruins, we’ll go there.

Although there’s no difference in where we stay now, at least the location of the ritual hall might be a bit safer.”

At least.

Staying in the ritual hall with no Osmanthus Trees was safer than staying in a yard with Osmanthus Trees.

The three of them immediately started moving.

And just as they had left this courtyard,

Traces of darkness began to emerge from the ground like vines, climbing up the Osmanthus Tree, turning both branches and leaves black, dripping dark and sticky substance down.

This phenomenon began to spread from the houses in North Mountain Village.

The black patterns meandered and drifted, gradually contaminating all the Osmanthus Trees in the village, a stench began to emit, diluting the faint fragrance of the osmanthus in the air.

…

At the entrance of Osmanthus Village.

In front was a large mountain, and after passing the low hill at the entrance, there was a quietly flowing river, with a log bridge built across it.

Although Osmanthus Village was surrounded by mountains on all sides, South Mountain was low and convenient for the villagers to go in and out for work, with fields clustered around the river.

The bride stopped here, her movements suddenly halting.

Then, she turned her head to look back at the village.

Xu Shuo also turned back to glimpse at it.

His excellent Vision Power was not limited at night, and he saw the Osmanthus Trees in the village withering one by one, turning into pitch-black, viscous, and clawing rotten wood.

At this moment, the air in Osmanthus Village was getting heavier with the ghostly aura.

The bride’s emotions fluctuated slightly, perhaps angry at the Abyss for encroaching on her territory, but her Resentment Energy quickly calmed down again.

“Let’s go, it’s right there,”

The bride withdrew her gaze indifferently and pointed in the direction of the river.

Xu Shuo stood by the roadside, scanning the long river with his eyes, and then his eyes lit up.

The bride hadn’t lied to him, there really was something in the river!

That object wasn’t on the side of the log bridge but was in the river beneath a small hillside, submerged in the center, half-drowned by the river and swaying amidst the drifting silt.

But even so,

It could not bury its radiance.

Xu Shuo crossed the log bridge and walked to the other side of the river bank.

However, the bride stayed on that side of the bridge and didn’t follow.

Watching the figure walking slowly along the riverbank, the bride said, “That object is very nice.

It feels really comfortable when you’re near it.

On the days when I usually don’t go into the village, I’ll stay here.”

Her voice wasn’t loud but carried over.

Xu Shuo gave her a glance, then looked down at the river again, then looked at the bride once more, and back to the river.

Perhaps he repeated this action a bit too frequently.

Seeing this, the bride hesitated and said, “I can’t touch that object, so I can’t go into the river to help you get it.

If you can’t swim, I can find something to help you fish it out.”

Even if the object was beneficial to her, just like she couldn’t touch the Jade Ruyi, the bride couldn’t touch it either.

Xu Shuo shook his head, “That’s not the issue.”

Of course, he could swim.

He just didn’t want to get into the water and wet his clothes.

After some deliberation, Xu Shuo simply waved at the object at the bottom of the river.

Using telekinesis, he coaxed it tremblingly out of the river’s surface and into his hands.

Because of Alpha, Xu Shuo had already started consciously practicing spiritual power, but using the telekinesis he was not very skilled in to retrieve this object was still somewhat awkward.

Although it was as light as paper, it was a prop, and its mass was definitely not comparable to that of letters.

This was a small white flower.

Four petals, still glowing.

Xu Shuo did not know what the purpose of this object was, but when holding it, he did indeed feel very comfortable.

It should be an artifact related to spiritual power.

Its effect, he noted when holding this object, was that his spiritual power felt especially abundant!

Now, if he were to use telekinesis to lift this flower again, he would certainly not feel as weak as before!

Moreover, the violin in his Spirit Sea also became lively, and Xu Shuo seemed to sense something being absorbed from the white flower by it.

This violin.

Really does eat everything.

Tucking the small white flower into his pocket, Xu Shuo turned around and walked back to the entrance of the village via the log bridge.

The bride watched him in silence.

After a long while, the bride said with a complex tone, “You seem to be a bit different from what I imagined.”

Xu Shuo was silent for a while too.

Well, if he didn’t want to get his clothes wet, he could only show off a bit in front of the bride.

This was also the reason for Xu Shuo’s earlier contemplation.

He could have excused it on the Jade Ruyi.

But Xu Shuo had other ideas now, so he did not use that excuse.

He said cautiously, “There are some things I’m not at liberty to say, but I’m indeed different from the original Wang Tiezhu.

Moreover, I want to ask you, if there’s a chance, would you be willing to leave this place with me?”

After saying that, Xu Shuo waited for a moment.

Fortunately, no deduction in performance points.

But for some reason, Xu Shuo always felt that what he had just said felt strangely familiar.

Had he heard this line somewhere else?

Upon hearing this, the bride suddenly looked up at him, her emotions once more fluctuating and taking a while to subside.

“I can’t possibly leave Osmanthus Village.”

“Nothing is impossible.”

“You don’t understand.”

The bride shook her head, “It’s not just because my body is buried here, it’s more importantly my obsession that’s here, so leaving Osmanthus Village would mean my extinction.”

Xu Shuo looked at her earnestly, “If you’re willing to trust me, why not let me try?

There’s no harm in trying.”

After finishing, Xu Shuo pondered again.

These words really do feel so familiar…

Red wisps of Qi once again entwined around the bride, a manifestation of her overly intense emotions, even though she still appeared dignified and composed on the outside.

To leave…

To leave this place of her resentful obsessions?

If it were indeed possible, she really did want to be set free.

It was her enemies that kept her resentment alive, but now those enemies were almost all dead.

She no longer had anything to hold on to.

She would ultimately remain in this filthy and vile village forever, both her body and her soul, like those peach wood nails hammered into her, pinning her forever to this place!

But…

How could Zhu Chunxiao be willing to stay here?

She wasn’t afraid to be scattered to the winds, but she would rather die in the wilderness than let herself rot in this place that had once made her feel despair, hatred, and fear!

If there really was a chance to leave…

Who knew how much time had passed.

The bride’s tumultuous emotions once again became calm.

She looked down slightly, her voice trembling faintly as she spoke softly, “Then you try it.”

Xu Shuo’s face broke into a satisfied smile, “Then I’ll give it a try.”

After saying that.

Xu Shuo suddenly remembered something.

What the heck!

Weren’t these the very words said by the Traveling Poet to Cerys when she bamboozled him in “The Beautiful Legend of Prague” script?!

Now Xu Shuo intended to use a contract again.

But this time, it was his turn to speak.

This really is…

How akin are the occurrences of life!
