With those thoughts in mind, Mo Xie decided to just gather as many resources as he could...
"HELP!" As Mo Xie traversed the forest with his newly acquired pair of wings, he heard a plea for help.
The voice of a lady echoes throughout the forest. Yet, Mo Xie ignored it and continued his path, unfamiliar voice, unfamiliar place, why should he help?
Mo Xie merely looked at the location of the shout, he saw a female human running for her life, a mortal? She has no spiritual energy and what's worst, she's being chased by three bristled pink pigs.
Although the pigs are livestock, it can actually hurt a mortal to some extent...
Since its no threat, Mo Xie continued his journey, he's also wondering, how come there's a human within this place, a dangerous place that's actually filled with beasts, a mortal human surviving this place is nigh impossible.
He then remembered Huang Nantian, he's been brought here by a G.o.ddess; 'Isn't that right? Does she also have a special ability...'
As he thought of this, he looked at the girl pleading for help, there are no tears on her eyes, yet, she's pleading quite hardly,
But he has other thoughts too, this might be a trap?
After pondering for a while: "I already have a disciple, you're on your own."
But then, he couldn't help but pity the lady, for some reason, her face is deformed, the flesh on her face had been stacked together, like a melted skin, only one of her eyes can be seen.
"A pity..." He started to want to help, but if she lives, she'll merely be another one of those bullied people, like Nantian's past life.
"Well, just have a rebirth of great luck, I hope your bad luck burns in this life of yours." He somewhat offered a prayer before continuing his material hunt, he's decided to return home after picking Nantian up after he's recovered.
Seeing Mo Xie's departing figure, the lady couldn't help but wept her eyes out; "This... Oh G.o.d, he's too loyal!"
As she spoke of this, the three pigs chasing after her suddenly burned to cinders. "I like it!"
Mo Xie continued his journey, will sometimes stop to pick some things up.
After a while... "HELP PLEASE!"
Mo Xie looked back, he saw the pitiful lady being chased by five pigs this time!
Mo Xie couldn't help but frown: "What the heck..."
This time, Mo Xie held his sword, sliced it at the lady's direction.
Swish~! the five pigs became sliced into two before vanis.h.i.+ng completely.
Mo Xie sighed, he continued his journey immediately.
"T-thank you." The lady spoke bashfully, looking at the ground, but immediately sighed, she could feel Mo Xie had already left: "Haaaa."
Heaving a sigh, she ran again.
Meanwhile, the two following her couldn't help but sigh, the old man then spoke: "Is this really proper? Destiny stated that they will meet in fifty years, she already altered the future, is this really the right thing to do for the oracle of the future, saintess of time?"
The lady beside him spoke: "Well, if you can force her to go back, then, I'm all ears to any of your plans."
The old man sighed: "Well..."
"See? We can only follow." The lady spoke.
As the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at the lady frantically running, they sighed at the sight, the uncurable mischievousness of their lady couldn't be stopped.
The old man then looked at the lady: "How many more Bristled Immortal Pork do you still have?"
The lady hearing this felt her heart aches, like watching her own treasures being devoured in ma.s.s: "I only have twenty left."
"Well, just pray they she wouldn't need more of it, we can just store those porks, at least this time, it's merely sliced in half, we can still eat that." The old man comforted.
The lady smiled, took the corpse of the five slaughtered pigs.
"Aunty, I need seven more!" Hearing these words, the lady's smile froze, she could feel it, a tremendous amount of pain coming in her way.
The old man sighed: "I just hope that you get some compensation from her father or mother."
The lady smiled, she sighs: "I sure hope so too."
Mo Xie continued his way, he felt that if he lingered with that lady from before, it will be a huge pain, he could feel it, like a certain Deja Vu, which, he felt like he could remember it quite clearly, but the event that will transpire, a hundred folds tougher...
He could feel it, the same aura as... Aiqing!
"One is enough, two is..." He shook his head at the thought of it, he reached the end of Rocas' territory, He's bewildered too, since, there are no beasts throughout his whole journey, and this caused him to be extremely alert: "Is it because of that lady from before?"
But then, speaking of the devil...
"HELP!!! PLEASE! I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" She screamed, Mo Xie looked at her direction and couldn't help but be confused, now, there are seven bristled pink pigs.
"What the heck is this... This should be a territory of a fierce and strong beast, why are there only meek and weak pigs chasing after her..." Mo Xie frowns, he started to feel that there's something wrong, he looked at the lady: "Who are you, why are you following me?"
"Please, I just want to go home, I've been brought here by two bad people, I only want to go home, I miss my parents, please!" She shouted repeatedly.
Mo Xie with a frown descends from the ground, soon as he did, it caused the ground to vibrate, feeling his aura, the seven pigs immediately ran away.
Mo Xie looked at the lady: "Since they are gone, you should stay here and do whatever you want."
The lady looked at him tearfully: "I... I want to follow you..."
Mo Xie was about to say something but she continued: "I don't know where to go, I have nowhere to live to, I also have nothing to do, I was brought here unconditionally, dragged here forcefully, I don't know what to do."
"Please... please I beg of you."
Hearing her words, Mo Xie couldn't help but sigh, he's not feeling anything, no emotions can be seen from his eyes, he had seen many people die, occasionally, by his own hands.
But for some reason, he just couldn't leave her be even though she'll merely be troublesome to bring, she definitely will not be able to help.
"I... I know how to cook, I... I'll do anything, please."
Mo Xie couldn't help but sigh: "If you ever become a bother more than you should be, I'll leave you immediately without a second's thought."
The lady's single eye shone brightly: "T-thank you very much!"
After conversing with the lady, he didn't know why he felt that it will be the second coming of Aiqing, a whole new different level to boot, but for now, if she could avoid being a bother, he didn't mind letting her follow him.
Mo Xie summoned the same flame chariot that Aiqing used and spoke: "Get in there."
"Un!" The lady gladly hopped on board.
Mo Xie immediately continued to treasure hunt. It's mostly going to be a hunt for resources due to no beasts can be seen, so it definitely is a light treasure hunt for ores and herbs.
