"Don't tell me it's a secluded family that's above the world?" Huo Ling'er asked. Her large eyes flickered with curiosity.
The outside world already knew that Shi Hao's bloodline originated from Stone Country. However, when he was young, he encountered a terrifying trial, having his Supreme Bone gouged out and becoming an abandoned child.
At first, he lost all his power, and it was difficult for him to survive. However, not only did he tenaciously survive, but he even grew stronger. Now, his name shook the wasteland region, and it was a miracle!
Where exactly did he grow up? For the outside world, this was a mystery. Many people wanted to know what kind of place that was, and how such a child was raised.
"You'll know when you get there. They love beautiful fatties the most, and they really want me to bring back a few more. When the time comes, they'll definitely welcome you all warmly." Shi Hao laughed mischievously, completely unabashed.
The two young ladies both stared at him. Both Yun Xi and Huo Ling'er were as beautiful as fairies who walked out from a painting. Every frown and smile carried a different type of charm.
The group went on their way, quickly moving through the primordial mountain range. They headed west, experiencing the wilderness.
After traveling several hundred miles, they left Stone Country's western border, and there were no signs of life. Shi Hao had Huo Ling'er bring out the void beast skin, then started crossing the great wastelands.
"Let's go, no one is following us. We can set out now!" Shi Hao said. He was extremely careful and was using the dual-pupils to examine his surroundings along the way.
With a rumbling sound, silver symbols appeared. The magical artifact refined from an ancient divine beast skin tore apart the void, quickly jumping inside and starting its journey through time and space.
Along the way, wisps of mist flowed about. This was the chaotic energy hidden in the void, as well as dim specks of light. It was rumored that this was the projection of deities.
The void passage was extremely strange. Even though it wasn't the first time they passed through it, everyone was still a bit nervous. If something unexpected happened, the power of the void would descend, and they would definitely be crushed.
Fortunately, this was a divine beast skin with innate void symbols. It was a rare immortal treasure. Even the little pagoda had spoken in secret, wishing to make a deal with Shi Hao, saying that after eating this beast skin, it could help him take action once.
Shi Hao refused right away. Unless he was cornered, he definitely wouldn't trade with this scammer because he always suffered losses.
"Hey, what is going on? The void is distorting!" Flame Crow cried out in alarm.
The path became indistinct and extremely dim. Cracks appeared in the entire space, and the most terrifying thing happened. The group of people were horrified. The void was caving in and was about to explode.
This meant that they would be crushed by the power of the void!
Their blood curdled, and their fine hairs stood on end. They actually encountered such a disaster that was rarely seen in a hundred years. The most terrifying accident happened.
"Something's not right. This is the divine skin left behind by an adult Void Beast. There are no flaws, and it has been refined in every way possible. From ancient times until now, nothing unexpected has ever happened." Huo Ling'er's face was pale, and she was a bit confused.
Unless it was an ancient great power, once one entered a void crack, one would most likely die and get cut into pieces.
"Hurry and think of a way! More and more cracks are appearing, surrounding us." The Nine-Headed Lion was horrified, and all of the golden fur on its body stood on end.
Yun Xi came from the Archaic Divine Mountain, so she knew more. "I think we unintentionally approached an unmatched existence. Its aura is too powerful, affecting the stability of the void. When the beast skin passed through, it was disturbed by that existence's domain."
When everyone heard this, they were horrified. Just how powerful of a creature was this? The domain that was naturally released could actually interfere with the void!
When Shi Hao heard this, he seemed to have thought of something. He quickly produced a sparkling green willow branch, muttering to himself, "Willow Deity, I've returned."
Immediately afterward, the void became indistinct, and the cracks disappeared. The divine beast skin shone, releasing mysterious symbols. It quickly moved into the distance.
Soon after, they emerged from the void, arriving in the real world. Mountain ranges stretched out continuously, and plants were abundant. A wave of fresh air rushed over.
Everyone released a breath of relief. Just now, they broke out in cold sweat.
"That was so dangerous. We almost suffered a disaster." The Rainbow Luan's heart was pounding. In fact, everyone's faces turned pale.
"Was that mysterious existence just now an old cultivator from your village?" Yun Xi asked. She was extremely shocked. Was there such an expert in the present world?
Shi Hao nodded. A smile appeared on his face. The Willow Deity was so powerful. This time, he had a direct understanding, making him feel more and more at ease.
When the others heard this, they knew that it was Stone Village's expert. They all relaxed, no longer feeling nervous. Their minds slowly calmed down.
"Well, we're almost there. Just now, we were slightly disturbed, causing some deviations. We are still several hundred miles from our village," Shi Hao said.
Such distance wasn't a problem for them. They operated magical artifacts, turning into streaks of flowing light and following behind Shi Hao as they headed in a certain direction.
Soon after, Shi Hao descended with a gentle expression. This was the feeling of returning home, and his heart was full of joy.
"Haha, I came back again!" He shouted.
They were still more than a mile away, but the "great paradise" in front of them was clearly visible, leaving the Nine-Headed Lion, Flame Crow, and the others shocked. Their eyes widened.
That place was so auspicious. The green grass was like a carpet, and the lake was dark blue. Auspicious birds and unicorns weren't alarmed when they encountered people. A very small village was situated in front of them, and wisps of spiritual essence were being emitted. Medicine fragrance wafted through the air.
It was easy to see that there were quite a few spiritual medicines planted in the village. Auspicious multicolored light flowed about, and wisps of white mist flowed about. The small village looked like an immortal village.
Such a village made one feel peaceful as if they were far away from the noise of the mortal world. They felt they had received a spiritual baptism.
The most shocking thing was that the willow tree at the front of the village was green and sparkling. Over a hundred willow branches drooped down and gently swayed about, releasing streaks of gentle green multicolored light and halos.
Because of its existence, this place became different. There was a divine aura that transcended this world.
"This willow tree is…" Yun Xi was shocked. She came from an ancient divine mountain, so what kind of experts had she not seen before? However, right now, her face had already lost color.
"This is our village's Guardian Spirit," Shi Hao said with a smile. He noticed that the Willow Deity's branches had increased again. There were already 108 of them, and it was clearly steadily recovering.
The others were shocked. Was that a village's Guardian Spirit? Why did it feel even more mysterious than a country's Guardian Spirit? Such a divine aura was indescribable!
The others were all petrified. What kind of village was this? It was so mysterious.
In the village, chickens crowed, and dogs barked. There was no lack of vitality in the mortal world. There were children running and jumping about, and it was extremely joyous.
"Little uncle has returned!"
"Hey, little Hao brought people back to the village. This is the first time." Not only did the children discover them, but even Shi Linghu and a few other adults who happened to be at the village entrance also saw them.
Shi Hao turned around and saw that his companions were still in a daze. They were looking at the Willow Deity with shock. With a smile, he picked up the two girls and ran towards the village.
"Ah, put me down!"
"What are you doing?!"
Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi were shocked. They were lifted off the ground and were on Shi Hao's shoulders. He quickly approached the village as they struggled.
"Brat, you've truly shocked everyone with a single brilliant feat. I've been urging you for a long time, but I never thought that you would bring back two beautiful girls at once." Shi Linghu laughed loudly.
"Wow, little Uncle Hao brought back two exceptionally beautiful fatties. They're like fairies," the group of little children shouted.
This time, everyone in Stone Village was startled. They all ran out like a swarm of bees to surround him. Men, women, old, and young were all noisy.
"Where did you find these young ladies? Why are they so fair and tender? Little Hao, you went out this time just to look for a wife, right?" An auntie said with a smile.
The villagers were all rather straightforward and wouldn't hide anything. When they saw Shi Hao bring back these two young ladies, they smiled kindly, looking extremely happy.
The two girls were so fair. Their clothes couldn't hide their impressive figures. As for their appearances, they were so beautiful that they could hurt one's eyes. The village definitely couldn't raise such tender children.
"Little Hao, you really are something. After going away for a while, you brought back two young wives. They're so beautiful." Dazhuang appeared, holding his child.
"Haha… do you see? My children are running all over the ground. You are falling behind, so you should hurry up." Pi Hou giggled, not putting on a proper appearance.
"Let go of me now!" Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi struggled. They were surrounded by so many people, and they spoke with such enthusiasm. It made their pretty faces flush.
This really was a bit unbearable. The entire village was watching. Even though they were friendly, they were too enthusiastic. No matter how extraordinary the two of them were, they were still two young ladies. They were so embarrassed.
"Ouch!"
Shi Hao's ears were attacked. The two young ladies on his shoulders took action at the same time, each grabbing one of them. He couldn't help but grimace in pain before putting down the girls. The villagers all laughed.
"Grandpa Chief, Uncle Linhu, aunts, what do you think? These are the two fatties I brought back. Now, you all don't have to urge me anymore, right?" Shi Hao forced a smile, his skin so thick that it made others speechless. The young lady that slid down from his shoulders ground her teeth.
"How nice. They're like rarely-seen fairies. When I was young, I went to other tribes, but I've never seen such beautiful girls."
Yun Xi and Huo Ling'er were both tall and slender. When they walked, they swayed in an attractive way. They had large watery eyes and long eyelashes. When they stood together, they made the villagers sigh in admiration.
"Little aunts, you two are so pretty!" A few little boys ran over happily and looked up at them. Two little girls took Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi's hands, refusing to let go.
The two girls were ashamed and resentful, but they couldn't say anything to these villagers. They took action together, pinching Shi Hao's waist from the left and right.
"Look at how intimate they are. They are even pinching our little Hao. They must be in love." An aunt thought that she had been through this before and came to this conclusion.
"Well, one look and you can tell that they'll be so fertile. Look, these two beautiful fairy-like girls have small waists, but their buttocks are large and round. They can definitely have a lot of babies," An auntie said loudly.
When these words were spoken, Yun Xi and Huo Ling'er immediately blushed. They really wanted to cover their faces and run. They really couldn't take it anymore.
The Nine-Headed Lion, Flame Crow, and the others who arrived soon after couldn't stop laughing.
"Little Hao, you have to treat them well. This time, you finally brought them back for us to see. I'll help you arrange everything. You should get married today," the old chief Shi Yunfeng said. He couldn't stop smiling. He was so happy with these two girls.
