I picked up the scattered attributes

"Then it's Senior Lao."

Feng Xia's eyes flickered, then he nodded and smiled, "Please lead the way for me, senior."

Although he was still unsure of the old woman's true identity, he was naturally happy to see it happen since she hadn't shown any malice.

Even if it really comes to a complete falling out... at least he should wait until he finds Zhu Youniang and Qinglin and confirms their safety!

When that time comes, at worst we can summon the Heavenly Ladder, pull out the Butcher's Knife, and just flip the table over... Who's afraid of who?

A thousand thoughts flashed through Feng Xia's mind as he quietly followed the old woman's footsteps.

Before long, a small village came into view.

The village was smaller than Feng Xia had imagined, yet it stood tall on the dark wasteland, shrouded by an invisible force, like an unseen sky, isolating it from the strange erosion and invasion.

Before even reaching the village, Feng Xia spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

"Asha!"

Zhu Youniang noticed Feng Xia's arrival almost simultaneously. The girl walked forward with light steps, her beautiful hair flowing in the wind, and a bright smile on her face. She waved her fair hand at Feng Xia.

"Come quick! I've found something fun here!"

At the same time, a small figure peeked out from behind Zhu Youniang.

Upon hearing the girl's words, the faces of the elderly men and women standing nearby immediately darkened.

Fun?

What you might find quite amusing is nothing short of a catastrophe for these old folks!

"Oh?"

Seeing that Zhu Youniang and Qinglin were safe and sound, Feng Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

He quietly put away the butcher knife behind his back, a genuine smile appeared on his face, and he strode forward, giving the girl a big hug.

"I want one too!" Qinglin squeezed her head in.

"Hey, Qinglin, you're not going to be a cat anymore?" Feng Xia seemed to notice something and looked at the snake demon girl curiously.

"I am a Sky-Devouring Python, and I will become a true dragon someday! Not a cat!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing these words, Qinglin suddenly bristled. The little girl flicked her long tail, causing the scales on it to stand up. Her golden eyes lit up, and Dao platforms appeared behind her head, all guarding a perfectly round Yuan Dan.

As if to assert her power, the girl bared her teeth, brandishing her claws, and let out a ferocious growl at Feng Xia:

"Rua—"

"..." Feng Xia remained silent.

He suddenly had the strange illusion that he was looking at a cat and dog zoo.

"Kid, now that you've found this place, hurry up and take these two girls away with you!"

Just then, an old man with white hair standing next to Zhu Youniang suddenly sharpened his gaze and said meaningfully, "We old folks can bear the village's losses ourselves, but..."

He glared at Zhu Youniang before letting out a long sigh:

"Don't bring them here anymore!"

"Did you esteemed seniors invite us to stay and sit for a while?"

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, Feng Xia put his arm around Zhu You Niang, patted Qing Lin's head to calm the agitated girl down, and smiled at the white-haired old man:

"Then this junior will naturally obey your request with utmost respect."

"???"

……

Chapter 0350

"Is it better to obey than to be respectful?"

The white-haired old man was stunned the moment he heard Feng Xia's words.

Immediately afterwards, his cloudy old eyes gradually turned red, and evil thoughts arose within him. He almost immediately sprang into action, about to deliver a vicious kick to Feng Xia's knee!

How can you be so shameless!

However, before Feng Xia could even raise his defenses, the white-haired old man suddenly fell flat on his back to the ground with a thud.

More accurately, it should be two-legged and four-legged!

It was only at this point that Feng Xia belatedly realized that the old man only had his upper body; the part below his waist had completely disappeared.

However, before this, he had been sitting cross-legged on a large rock, and his height was about the same as that of a normal person. He was also blocked by other villagers, so Feng Xia was unable to notice this.

"Village chief, watch out!"

"Damn it, this kid actually ambushed the village chief!"

A group of villagers shouted and surrounded the old man in an instant, shielding him behind them, while glaring angrily at Feng Xia.

"Kid, you knocked down our village chief, how do you plan to compensate us?!"

"Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation for this, this isn't over today!"

Feng Xia: "?"

This familiar scene made him subconsciously turn his head to look at the old woman who had led him there.

The old woman's face darkened under Feng Xia's gaze. She pounded the ground a few times with her cane and shouted angrily, "What are you looking at? They weren't raised by me!"

But your methods of staged accidents are practically identical...

Feng Xia silently complained in his heart. It was only at this moment that he belatedly realized that the mysterious old woman's arms were actually made of some kind of mysterious metal material!

"One with a broken leg, one with a broken arm..."

Feng Xia seemed to be deep in thought as his gaze slowly swept over the group of villagers in front of him.

Sure enough, almost every villager had some kind of disability; some were missing arms, some had broken legs, and some had a large hole in their chest...

Finally, Feng Xia's gaze fell on a bald, burly man.

Among these villagers, this bald, burly man looked the most normal—but conversely, he was also the most abnormal one.

Because the bald man's body was intact.

"What...what are you looking at?!"

Unexpectedly, after being glanced at by Feng Xia a few times, the bald man's face turned red: "What...what...you discriminate against disabled people!"

Immediately, Feng Xia's gaze became even stranger.

It's understandable if the elderly people around you are disabled, but you, a strong and robust man with arms that could carry a horse...

You're telling me you're disabled?

As if understanding the meaning in Feng Xia's eyes, the bald man's face turned almost purple. He stammered angrily, "You... what do you mean! Does not having hair... mean you can't be considered... disabled?!"

Feng Xia remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter a few words: "...Whatever makes you happy."

In the depths of such a wasteland, to find a village with living people is already quite strange, even terrifying and eerie.

Then I saw even stranger things...

Okay, it's one thing to be used to it, but we still have to complain.

"Seniors."

After a moment of silence, Feng Xia grinned and said sincerely, "Actually, I'm very curious about what kind of place this is and what you're doing here."

Zhu Youniang and Qinglin didn't care, but he couldn't help but care.

As soon as the words were spoken, the villagers fell silent.

"Young man, there are some things you don't need to know."

A middle-aged woman wearing a half-mask spoke up: "Even if you know, there's nothing you can do; it will only add to your fear."

Good heavens, it's that same excuse again!

If it weren't for the eerie atmosphere of the place, Feng Xia would have almost started swearing on the spot.

Can't you guys even speak like human beings?!

Based on his experience reading various articles, those who dislike speaking in a human voice are often the ones who get into trouble the fastest.

Such statements include: "Knowing too much is not good for you"; "Ignorance is also a kind of happiness"; and so on...

Usually, disaster strikes shortly after such remarks are made, everyone knows about it, and it is often proven in hindsight that things might have turned out differently if they had been said earlier.

"Esteemed seniors, based on my extensive experience throughout the myriad realms..."

Thinking of this, Feng Xia grinned, revealing a bright and sunny smile.

Then, in the gentlest of tones possible, he spoke slowly, word by word:

"You're all going to be finished soon."

"You brat, how dare you talk to me like that?!"

"If you can talk, then talk more!"

"We're going to be finished? Do you even know what a joke you're making!"
