The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

She spoke in detail, and the other party listened attentively. Until the last word was finished, the pair exchanged a glance. The White Robed Girl pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "What is your name?"

"Qiu Niang, I am called Qiu Niang!" Qiu Niang hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My husband’s surname is Yan, and his given name is Ming. He is a good man. I beg you both to save him too."

As soon as she finished speaking, the White Robed Girl raised her eyebrows and exclaimed: "Oh, so you are Qiu Niang?"

Qiu Niang was stunned. What did "so you are Qiu Niang" mean? Could it be that this young lady had also heard of her name? But she was just a village girl in the mountains, never having ventured twenty miles outside the village. How did these people hear about her, and why did the villagers of Wu Family’s granary have such a deep enmity towards her?

"Taking you away from here is naturally not a problem," said the White Robed Girl, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes and a gentle voice. Qiu Niang was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed twice, but the other party shook her hand and said: "Listen to me first, have you thought about it? Even if you leave Wu Family’s granary, what will you do next?"

Qiu Niang was momentarily stunned and said: "Of course, of course, find my husband and go home."

"What if you cannot find your husband?"

Qiu Niang anxiously said: "That won’t happen! I saw with my own eyes that he fell off the carriage along with me. Young lady, please be merciful and hurry to save him with me. If it’s any later, he surely won’t survive this snowy weather outside!"

The White Robed Girl sighed: "Alright, let me put it another way. If your husband is already dead, what will you do then?"

Qiu Niang did not speak. It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered this issue. In the time she spent searching for her husband after waking up on the snowy plains, she had repeatedly thought about what she would do if her husband was gone. Should she return to her family home, or continue to serve her in-laws? For some reason, whenever she thought of her in-laws, there was a vague resistance in her heart, an unwillingness to think deeply.

Seeing her displeased expression, the White Robed Girl gently said: "When it is time to let go, you must let go. Try to see things in a brighter light."

Qiu Niang quickly shook her head: "Young lady, you two possess great abilities. Please take me away from here first, alright? I need to find my husband first to know what to do in the future!"

"Is that so, you must find your husband first to know what to do in the future?" The White Robed Girl’s eyes flickered as she exchanged a glance with the man.

The yellow paper talisman on the tavern door curtain had been emitting a faint red glow, suppressing the only entrance. But at this moment, the talisman suddenly ignited without any fire, and in no time, was burnt clean.

Without the power of this talisman’s suppression, someone from outside had already slipped in as the cotton curtain was lifted!

Qiu Niang turned pale with fright, yet her movements were nimble as she scurried behind the White Robed Girl. She then heard the man beside her chuckle and shake his head, saying: "Mortal things are indeed unreliable."

Mortal? Then who are these two?

The White Robed Girl said: "Hmph, if it weren’t for the strange Evil Qi, this paper talisman should have continued to work." She looked at the crowd rushing in as if they were nothing, glanced at Qiu Niang, turned her eyes, and said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you away from here first!"

Strangely enough, the people who burst in almost ignored the young couple, having eyes only for Qiu Niang. At that moment, someone grabbed Qiu Niang’s arm and began to drag her back fiercely.

Qiu Niang screamed in terror, and just at that moment, the White Robed Girl handed her something. Without thinking, she took it and thrust it at the person!

The opponent was caught off guard, and the thrust landed squarely on his chest. He clutched his wound in pain, howling and letting her go.

Qiu Niang, after pulling out the sharp object, was dumbfounded. Her nature was pure and kind, only thinking of escaping, but she never had the intention to kill. At this moment, accidentally injuring someone in a critical spot, there was only one thought in her mind: "I killed someone, I killed someone!"

Seeing her expression, the White Robed Girl couldn’t help but shake her head and said: "Don’t be so quick to be afraid, did you see him bleed, did you feel like you’ve injured someone?" With a gentle raise of her wrist, as Gang Qi swept over, several figures rushing forward were sent flying.

For a time, no one could get within seven meters of them.

Qiu Niang then bluntly realized that she had indeed pierced the opponent’s chest, yet her hand only received a strange sensation, as if it pierced not blood and flesh, but merely a thin piece of paper. Looking up again at the retreating person, he was no longer clutching his wound, but staring at her fiercely, his gaze green and sinister, much like the wolves following the caravan earlier.
