Chapter 656 The Farmer and the Snake
Yunxi looked at the strange house made of stones in front of her, and then looked at the girl named Xiaomeng beside her.

Before Xiaomeng could speak, a burly man bent over and walked out of the stone house. He was also wearing a coarse cloth short-sleeved shirt and was about 2.2 meters tall. He looked Yunxi up and down with a serious face before turning to Xiaomeng and saying:

Is she the only one there?

Xiao Meng replied respectfully:
"Yes, village chief!"

The man, referred to as the village chief, then looked at Yunxi and said:
"I am Yan Shi, the village chief of Yan Shi Village. Since you were brought in by the maze array outside the village, you must be a person destined for Yan Shi Village. I have a deal I would like to make with you. I wonder if you are willing?"

Yunxi smiled slightly and said:

"Didn't you deliberately lure me here? How did it turn into a maze? The villagers here must have led me in. If you have any requests, just say them."

Yan Shi was surprised that the woman in front of him had seen through their true identities. He subconsciously clenched his fists. Yan Meng, who was standing next to him, also looked at Yun Xi warily, as if they would make a move if Yun Xi made any unusual move.

Yunxi's expression remained unchanged. She simply waved her sleeve and placed a stone table and bench in front of the stone house. She walked over on her own, then made a "please sit down" gesture and began to arrange the tea set on the stone table to make tea, which seemed to indicate that she was taking over the role of the host.

Yunxi's relaxed attitude surprised Yan Shi and Yan Meng. The two exchanged a glance before Village Chief Yan Shi sat down opposite Yunxi.

Under their watchful eyes, Yunxi brewed a pot of "Snow Lotus Tea," the only spiritual tea she always kept in her storage bracelet. After brewing it, she poured a cup for each of them.

She picked up her own glass, took a sip, and then spoke:

"I didn't sense any malice or hostility from Village Chief Yan and Miss Xiaomeng. In addition, the people from Yan Shi Village led me here in a relatively gentle way. I was a little curious, so I just came to see what kind of deal you were talking about."

Village Chief Yan Shi sighed deeply but remained silent. Xiao Meng, standing nearby, seemed less reserved, frowning as she spoke:
"Everyone says that human cultivators are cunning, and now it seems that this is indeed true. My sister kindly saved a human cultivator who had been seriously injured and wandered into this place, but he repaid kindness with enmity, took out my sister's heart, and even brazenly sold it, forcing my sister to revert to her original form."

If she can't find her sister's 'heart' within a month, she'll be forever relegated to her original form, without even the chance to cultivate into a human!

As she spoke, Xiaomeng's face turned red, clearly showing her anger.

Yunxi calmly put down her teacup and said indifferently:
"From what you're saying, this was a man-made disaster, and that your sister herself brought a wolf into the house, picked up a seriously injured human cultivator, and then couldn't resist his sweet talk, healed his wounds, and exposed her true form, which is why her 'heart' was taken out."

You've been cultivating in Chong'an Mountain for so long, haven't you heard the saying, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts"? Even the Weiling Realm is divided into the Spirit Domain, Ghost Domain, Buddhist Domain, Demon Domain, and Monster Domain. If you could live in peace, you wouldn't divide the territory like this.

You have suffered a loss but cannot leave Chong'an Mountain to seek revenge on that cultivator, nor do you have the ability to retrieve your sister's 'heart'. That's why I lured the main body to your territory, intending to use 'coercion and enticement' as my means.

If I lack the power, then you can threaten me to do things for you. If I have the ability, then you can promise me great benefits to help me find that woman's 'heart'.

Let me state my position first: I also deeply despise male cultivators who repay kindness with enmity. Those who try to achieve their goals by deceiving women should be prepared to be killed. If your offer is right, I don't mind taking action.

After Yunxi finished speaking, she took another sip of tea to moisten her throat.

Yan Shi and Yan Meng both forgot to manage their expressions at this moment, having never seen Xiu act so unpredictably before.

Xiao Meng blinked and said:
"You've already come to our territory, yet you still speak so arrogantly. It seems you're confident you can leave Yanshi Village?"

Yun Xi smiled and said:

"I speak firmly because I sympathize with your sister's plight, and therefore I'm willing to make a deal with you. As for the chances of leaving this place, I haven't fought you yet, so I can't predict for now. However, if you want to trap me, feel free to try." "You..."

"Xiao Meng, don't be rude!"

Village Chief Yan Shi intervened and bowed to Yun Xi, saying:
"I don't know how to call you a friend?"

"Ranxi of Haoran Sect, an ascended cultivator from the Weiyu Realm."

Yan Shi felt the name sounded familiar, but their village was indeed quite isolated from news, so he couldn't remember it for a moment and could only politely say:
“Fellow Daoist Ranxi, since you have roughly guessed the whole story, I will not beat around the bush. Could you please step forward and find my eldest daughter’s ‘heart’? I will give you a satisfactory reward.”

After saying that, he placed an antique-looking storage bracelet in front of Yunxi.

Yunxi scanned the area with her divine sense and found it filled with top-grade spirit stones, some extremely rare refining ores, and rock beasts unique to Chong'an Mountain. These beasts were treasures from head to toe and could be used to refine the strongest defensive spirit treasures.

Yunxi was very satisfied with the deposit, so she accepted it with a wave of her hand and then said:

"Village Chief Yan, please provide me with the portrait of the male cultivator who deceived your eldest daughter. Also, please describe in detail what your eldest daughter's 'heart' is."

Xiao Meng glanced at the village chief, and after receiving permission, she drew a portrait of the male cultivator in the air.

"Hmm, he certainly looks like a respectable person, but I didn't expect him to be a hypocrite."

Then Xiaomeng said:
“I don’t know where this hypocrite has gone, but he’s definitely in Chong’an City. I secretly went out to inquire and found out that he took my sister’s ‘heart’ and auctioned it off, and even gave it a name called ‘Lucky Bead’.”

Yunxi found the name very familiar and quickly recalled that Captain Cen Sen of the Chong'an City Garrison had mentioned it to her. She was about to ask him for details when she was interrupted by the news that Mu Zijun's body had been stolen.

"So the 'lucky charm' was your sister's heart."

"Did you hear that too?"

"Yes, I heard it's one of only two precious items up for auction this time, and it would be quite difficult to snatch it openly."

Yunxi thought it would be better to buy it with spirit stones.

Xiao Meng gritted her teeth and said:
“I will go with you and can lend you a hand.”

Yan Shi reprimanded in a low voice:
"Xiao Meng, don't be silly. Your cultivation is not enough. Going out like this could easily lead to trouble."

As for what happened, Yan Shi didn't say explicitly, but Yun Xi completely understood what he meant, so she said nonchalantly:

"It is indeed difficult for me to snatch things at the auction by myself. Since that's the case, you should prepare spirit stones and buy them openly with spirit stones. You will eventually be able to get the 'Luck-Changing Bead'. It's just that sending it back to Chong'an Mountain might take some time. If we are targeted by high-level cultivators, I will definitely have to spend time getting rid of them."

She was stating the facts objectively and was absolutely telling the truth.

　My darlings, I'm having writer's block today, so I'll just post one chapter for now. I'll be writing the other one and uploading it when it's finished.
