Fairy, help me cultivate.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yao roughly guessed the degree of spatial inversion around him. He stood up, stepped to the spot where Lü Qing had disappeared, and the scene before him suddenly changed.

Then, he tried stepping in different directions, but retreated again when the environment changed.

When they reached the seventh direction, a magnificent and splendid mountain god temple suddenly appeared before them.

A clear, melodious song drifted from the eaves of the temple.

It was as if the crouching mythical beasts on the roof were singing.

Unlike the flying eaves, the eaves beast is red.

Chen Yao slowly stepped forward and found that Bai Piao was already standing quietly at the temple gate, raising his head with white hair as white as frost, looking at the plaque on the temple.

It's just three very simple words: "Mountain God Temple"

"What... what's going on?"

Chen Yao stood shoulder to shoulder with Bai Piao.

Bai Piao ignored him, only frowning as he stared at the plaque of the mountain god temple.

After a while, she flicked her slender fingers, unleashing a burst of sword energy.

The sword energy pierced the plaque with a "whoosh," causing the plaque to ripple like water, yet it remained completely unharmed, as if it had swallowed the sword energy.

"This plaque is no ordinary object."

Chen Yaodao.

“Even the most powerful artifact needs someone to activate it to work,” Bai Piao said. “If the one activating it isn’t a person, it’s even more difficult to handle.”

Why not go into the temple?

Bai Piao glanced at Chen Yao: "Since you've come to my side, you shouldn't have asked this question!"

Chen Yao therefore suppressed his urge to approach the temple.

So close, yet so far.

"This is the distance between me and the matchmaker."

Suddenly, voices came from the plaque.

Chen Yao and Bai Piao stared at each other, but couldn't see anything except a large plaque with gold lettering on a blue background.

"They made me become the mountain god! They forced me to give them incense! I didn't beg them or force them! Why are they forcing me like this!"

The voice on the plaque was filled with hatred.

At the same time, Chen Yao and Bai Piao heard cries and screams coming from the foot of the mountain. It wasn't just one person; it seemed like the entire town had fallen into chaos.

"I've been the mountain god for over a hundred years, and I've done enough for them. There have been few years of disaster and many years of plenty, and the waterway has been smooth sailing. I've done enough for them! What did Hongniang do wrong? Why did they have to do this! Peel her skin and destroy my temple!"

Hearing this, Chen Yao and Bai Piao realized that what the old Taoist priest had said was not nonsense.

"The wicked will be punished by Heaven! Hahaha! Little did they know, even as a vengeful ghost, Hongniang would guard my temple and my remnant soul! For so many years, she has skinned countless of their descendants, all to piece together a complete body for me! Today, her wish has finally come true..."

The voice gradually lowered, filled with sorrow against the backdrop of the song on the eaves.

"But she used her own soul to forge my golden body! It's all your fault!"

At that moment, the earth trembled, and heavy thumping sounds echoed from the mountain god's temple.

Chen Yao and Bai Piao both felt a jolt in their hearts and exchanged a glance.

The gates of the mountain god temple burst open with a roar, and a huge black shadow broke through the gate tower and stepped out.

Its face was dark black, with a mane, long teeth protruding from its lips, and it was more than ten feet tall.

"One, a wild boar?"

The freeloader couldn't help but laugh; he'd never seen anyone treat a wild boar as a mountain god.

"You dare laugh?"

The mountain god stared wide-eyed at the pig.

Bai Piao laughed even louder: "Dude, I know your love story is pretty tragic, but you didn't have to mess with us!"

She stepped forward and patted the mountain god's gleaming silver armor: "Listen to my advice, let us go down the mountain. As for the rest, it's none of our business. Do whatever you want, we won't interfere."

The mountain god glared at her, white steam billowed from the pig's nostrils, and it cried out "Wah-ya-ya!" With a flick of its paw, a thick, sharp stone spike shot out from nowhere.

Bai Piao flew up and landed lightly: "So, you can't reason with me?"

"You will all share my fate as a matchmaker!"

"Alright!" The freeloader took off the bamboo sheath.

The mountain god unconsciously took a step back, seemingly wary, but it didn't back down much: "I know you're powerful, but I'm not afraid of you! Don't forget your other two companions!"

Chen Yao could actually read a hint of smugness on the mountain god's rough face.

After hearing what it said, the freeloader was indeed hesitant to act rashly.

Chen Yao sighed: "I knew you would say that."

The mountain god was taken aback and looked at Chen Yao suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid?"

Why should I be afraid?

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill your companions? One is your woman, and two are your daughters."

?

Chen Yao and Bai Piao had no idea what this pig had seen to come to such an absurd conclusion.

Bai Piao couldn't help but laugh: "No, no, they're all his women."

This time, it was the mountain god's turn to be shocked: "They don't even spare children? There are such strange things that have no femininity whatsoever?"

It blankly pointed to the freebie.

Bai Piao's face instantly turned ashen, and he gripped the bamboo sheath so tightly it creaked.

"court death!"

The bamboo sheath in her hand suddenly flashed with a green light, and she was instantly in front of the mountain god.

The mountain god only had time to summon the mountain itself to resist, but to its surprise, in just a few breaths, the mountain on its shoulder was crushed inch by inch.

When it looked up again, it realized that the green light was an entire, vast, lush mountain range.

"This is……"

Before the mountain god could finish speaking, he was reduced to dust.

At the same time, the entire Evil Water Ridge began to disintegrate.

Bai Piao stuck out his tongue, only then realizing that he hadn't found Lu Dan and her daughter, nor Ling Hong yet, and the array in the shattered space on the mountain clearly hadn't stopped. This was troublesome.

"How to do?"

She looked at Chen Yao.

Chen Yao shrugged: "Take seven steps to the left."

Bai Piao followed him, and the surroundings appeared to be on the side of the official road at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Dan and her daughter, along with Ling Hong, were looking worriedly at the collapsed mountain ridge. When they saw the two of them appear, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"While I was testing the location of the formation, I also left some notes and information. When I got to the mountain god temple, I knew I was right. They should be able to get down the mountain based on the information I left."

Chen Yao smiled.

"You're so smart!" Bai Piao breathed a sigh of relief and, in his excitement, hugged Chen Yao's back.

Chen Yao's heart skipped a beat when he felt two soft, plump mounds kiss him.

Chapter 240 Barefoot Bitch

For some reason, Chen Yao felt an uncontrollable burning sensation in his lower abdomen when the white guy rubbed his back.

This is truly bizarre!

She's clearly as rude as a burly man picking his toes!

The thought suddenly popped into Chen Yao's head, and he jumped out of his grasp at getting something for nothing.

The freeloader seemed a little unhappy, squinting at him: "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Yao calmed herself down and said, "It's nothing, let's hurry on our way! It's getting late."

Only now, as they descended the mountain, did the group feel slightly tired, having unknowingly spent two days wandering around E'shuiliang.

Chen Yao crossed the collapsed embankment and saw that the town he had come from had been completely burned to the ground. Even if he wanted to go and save people, it was too late.

He waved and said, "Let's go!"

Lu Qing glanced back at the town and sighed deeply.

Although she and Lu Dan had long since descended the mountain, the mountain god's words could still be heard even in the small town.

So she already knew the whole story.

Why do things always seem to spiral out of control?

This was the first question Lü Qing had raised since entering the "jianghu" (martial arts world).

Bai Piao walked forward with his hands folded behind his head, nonchalantly saying, "Because there is more than one heart in the world, and each heart has different desires and fears."

"So, humans are the root cause of all the world's problems?" Ling Hong blinked her big eyes and suddenly blurted out this question.

Chen Yao smiled and said, "Perhaps! But look at those animals, aren't they also fighting to the death?"

"Therefore, the underlying color of the world is black."

Ling Hong lowered her head, pulled her hand out of Lu Dan's grasp, and placed it in Chen Yao's hand.

In this situation, only her older brother's words could put her at ease.

Chen Yao took a deep breath and looked up at the sky where rays of light pierced through the dark clouds: "It's more like dark clouds with holes pierced by sunlight. There will always be moments that make your heart flutter."

"what……"

Ling Hong looked up, her watery eyes reflecting beams of light.
