[I'm speechless, how much longer do we have to climb this mountain?]

Is Gu Qingfeng's girlfriend the Heavenly Mountain Demon? Why does she live in such a remote place?

[I think the government should just follow Gu Qingfeng's lead when looking for poverty alleviation sites in the future. His love-struck mind can pinpoint places in need of assistance.]

Thinking about it this way, I wish my best friend would open her eyes and find a partner someday.

My best friend would rather live amidst mountains of gold and silver than in a real mountain.

"Woof woof woof!"

They heard a dog barking; they had arrived.

The group was covered in sweat, and they were exhausted from taking turns carrying Gu Qingfeng.

A beautiful young woman tilted her head and looked at them. "Who are you? Why aren't you on the right path?"

"Hahaha," Chang Xi said with an awkward smile, turning to look at Gu Qingheng.

Is this what you, Gu Qingheng, have done?

I've never been here before; Gu Qingfeng told me the way.

Gu Qingheng turned her head away, feeling guilty and not daring to look at them.

"We're here to visit a friend. She lives in your village. We heard from her that the scenery here is beautiful, so we'd like to come for a vacation," Chang Xi said, extending her hand. "We all have some savings. We were wondering if there's anywhere in the village we could stay?"

"And who is he?" The girl pointed to Gu Qingfeng, who was lying on Shen Kongming's back.

"Sigh, he is our paralyzed friend," Chang Xi said with a sad expression. "Sister, you wouldn't understand. Friends should support each other. Do you know Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng?"

Our friendship is like theirs; even if a friend were paralyzed, we would take him with us to see the world.

Chang Xi's words moved Shui Liuli to tears, but she dared not actually cry.

The girl was even more determined, "You're right, your friendship is truly amazing. Come with me, I have a spare room at home, but there's no bed. Would you be okay with sleeping on the floor?"

"Sure, sure," Changxi said gratefully. "You're so kind, little sister. We'll pay the rent."

The girl giggled the whole way as Chang Xi amused her.

"It has to be our Emperor; his eloquence is truly remarkable."

[She's completely charmed the girls, turning them into embryos.]

The netizens' words are not an exaggeration; Chang Xi even found out how many people were in the girl's family along the way.

The girl's name is Xu Ran, and her parents are farmers.

However, her parents are not home these days; they went to visit relatives.

"This is it," Xu Ran said, pushing open the door. A kerosene lamp was still lit in the room.

She was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, the conditions here aren't very good. The power often goes out at night, and kerosene lamps are a necessity for every household. How about we just leave you at home?"

"How can this be? You have to give it to me," Chang Xi said, tilting his head.

"Why is it me again?" Fortunately, Lu Wenli had made preparations before setting off and carried a lot of cash with him, otherwise there would be no internet in this remote mountain village and he wouldn't be able to transfer money.

"Thank you," Xu Ran said with a smile after putting away the money. "I'll invite you to dinner then."

She walked to the door, then turned back, looking somewhat hesitant. "By the way, if you're going to visit friends, remember to go out during the day, but not at night."

"Why?" Huo Dongjun asked, puzzled.

"I've heard from the elders that the mountain is haunted. Every night, female demons come down from the mountain to suck the life force from men," Xu Ran said in a low voice, trying to create a terrifying atmosphere. "I've heard that the female demons especially like men who are good-looking and have good fortune. Men who are targeted by female demons will die soon after, and no one knows how they die."

【real or fake? 】

[What kind of sorceress is this? She only targets men.]

Could it be that Gu Qingfeng has been targeted by a female demon?

"Really?" Yan Feishuang's face showed some fear.

"Of course it's fake," Xu Ran said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "However, the village is indeed very dangerous at night, and no one knows if they will come out."

After seeing Xu Ran off, Chang Xi went forward and locked the door.

Shen Kongming placed Gu Qingfeng on the floor where the quilt had been laid out.

Yan Feishuang thought for a moment. Since the man was the one who got into trouble, the woman must be alright, right? "It seems that only the two of us girls can go and check. You two stay here and don't go anywhere."

"Be careful," Huo Dongjun warned worriedly.

Chang Xi gave an OK sign, and the two people and the bird went out one after the other.

This village is indeed very beautiful, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with suspension bridges and bamboo houses. The villagers on the road are all dressed in intricately patterned clothing, adorned with silver ornaments. Walking into this place feels like stepping into an ancient village.

Strangely, everyone they encountered on the street looked at them like they were monkeys.

Although there was no malice in his gaze, it still made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Yan Feishuang called out to Chang Xi, "Look over there, what is that woman holding in her hand?"

Chang Xi stared intently and saw that the woman was holding a small, pure black statue, only the height of a water cup, with exquisite patterns. The woman's features were lifelike, and even from a distance, she looked like a beautiful woman.

The statue is dressed in the village's clothing and looks like a deity sitting on a lotus pedestal.

Those eyes, however, had slightly upturned corners, exuding a captivating charm. If it were a human statue, Chang Xi would have thought this beauty was truly stunning.

But if it's a statue of a god, it feels strange and undignified.

The statue was holding a clay pot aloft, which was very strange.

Chang Xi searched his mind for all the Chinese and foreign deities, but couldn't recall which deity this statue belonged to. In other words, it was worshipped by the villagers.

A deity unique to this village.

What is its function?

Uh, why does this statue look a little unseemly?

You feel the same way, right? I thought I was seeing things.

Is this really a legitimate deity?

The two continued walking forward.

Chang Xi, having witnessed something, blocked Yan Feishuang with one hand and hid behind a large tree.

The red flame slammed on the brakes mid-air, its heart skipping a beat.

Yan Feishuang walked behind, and Chang Xi stopped her in time, so she couldn't see anything.

"What happened? Who did you run into?"

Chang Xi gestured for her to speak softly.

Two heads, plus a bird's head, peeked out from the bushes.

A beautiful stilted house appeared before the audience, and it looked like the owner was quite wealthy, making it one of the best houses in the village.

The audience wasn't exactly unsophisticated; a nice stilted house wasn't surprising. What surprised them was that they knew most of the people living in the stilted houses.

She is Ran Qingqing, a rising star in the entertainment industry.

In an instant, a large number of Ran Qingqing's fans flooded into the live stream.

Their idol said on Weibo that she was going home to visit relatives, but nobody knows where her hometown is.

I haven't seen the real person in so long, I'm so excited to finally see them.

【Qingqing, we're here!】

It's been so long since we've seen our darling Qingqing.

[Green grass reports for duty.]

Hao Ren felt exhilarated as he watched the number of viewers steadily increase; after all, who would complain about having too much money?

Ran Qingqing wasn't alone; she was accompanied by several men who seemed to know her well. The men's clothes suggested they weren't locals, and they appeared unfamiliar with the area.
