Our carriage was moving through the forest.
It has been 4 days since our journey began, and I also got some new toys from the system. Immortal kid was already at the Peak Of the transformation realm. Little Black and me, we still haven’t begun our cultivation journey yet.
As for the new toys, I gave one to Immortal Kid. It was the reward from the system for completing the Quest. I got three Realm-breaking elixirs, and my Nature Affinity talent upgraded to orange grade.
With the help of realm-breaking pills, the Immortal Kid ascended to the Void realm. I still have two pills left.
"Young Master, should we stay in this village for the night or continue moving?"
I looked at the village in front of me and decided to stay here for tonight.
I came out of the carriage wandering in the village for a bit.
’This village looks familiar.’
After wandering for a bit, I spotted a closed shop.
’Oh... that’s why it looks familiar.’
Giving a long look at the shop, I moved on.
I looked at the sky filled with stars as I wandered in the village; the light was slowly vanishing. I, too, went to the room purchased by Immortal Kid, taking my peaceful sleep.
The next morning, we again continued our journey.
We passed through quite a few villages and cities, everything looks fine on the surface, but I realise things have become dangerous; many demonic cultivators have emerged in these five years. Righteous sects have declared war against the demonic sects. Not just them, even rebel groups have also declared war against the royal family.
Well, this escalation looks planned. Just like those novels I read, and according to what I read, there is no way to avoid it.
Now, I have two options: either I hypocritically avoid it, while killing whoever destroys my peace, or I favour one side, while being neutral. Or ignored till I can.
Well, let’s forget it for now. I have multiple other things to do.
I looked at Little Black, who was rubbing his head at my feet, giving him a gentle pet. I lay there, grabbing my comfortable living pillow.
Time was passing quickly while travelling, and I saw many different cities, tried many famous and local cuisines. They were really tasty, not all of them, but most of them were really amazing. Enjoying the world to the fullest. This life is the one that I desired the most.
"Young Master, do you really want to stay?"
Of course, this house is perfect.
"But it’s haunted, Young Master, you may not know but there..."
"Young Master, don’t mind this old man’s words; he just doesn’t want you to buy this beautiful house."
I looked at two bickering old men in front of me.
Enough leave now, this is my house now, I will decide what I have to do, not you.
Saying these words, I entered the house. Immortal kid and Little black follow behind.
The house was made up of wood in the ancient style, which looks quite classy. And there was even a small backyard with a small pond, which made this house even more beautiful and fulfilling.
"Young Master, there seems to be a Yin spirit hiding here."
Oh, don’t scare it. After all, we are only going to stay here for tonight.
After looking at the house from the inside out. We went out for dinner, this village has many good cuisines to eat. In the morning, we tried many sweets, all of them were really good. Now time for something spicy.
We wandered for a bit before settling at the food stall that was the most crowded. We ordered three bowls of noodles.
After the dinner, we walked for a bit more, trying a few more dishes.
When we came back, it was already late at night. The Moon was at its peak.
As we entered the house, a sound of crying came from inside, and Little Black dashed towards the sound, followed by me and the Immortal Kid.
Suddenly, a loud scream rang in the house. When I came there, I saw Little black grabbing onto a white figure of a woman. She was crying in agony. I went forward, grabbing Little Black in my arms.
The woman was beautiful, yet her skin was pure white, her eyes filled with death. Looking at her figure, I felt really bit sad. Knowing another sad story is coming.
I sat down beside her, waiting for her to calm down. After a few minutes, this little ghost finally calmed down.
So, what’s your name, Miss?
She looked at me strangely. Looking at her shocked and confused face, I decided to be a bit more patient.
If you like, you can share with me how you became .
She still didn’t say anything but continued to wait for her to speak. Finally, she opened her mouth.
"My name is... I... I don’t remember."
No worries, just tell me how you became .
"I don’t remember the time, but I was used to living here with my husband and kids here. But one day, a few travellers came to stay here for a night. One of them was my husband’s friend. So, we let them stay here."
Oh. Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
"But that night, these people killed us all, while..."
Stop, no need to tell more.
Well, this is the reality of the world; nothing can be changed. Past or future, Human nature remains the same; it’s just people’s acceptance of it changes.
I looked at her crying figure.
How long are you going to live with this pain? Just forget everything, you will suffer less. The world is cruel and hypocritical, well, me too. Let’s take another step toward being hypocritical.
I summoned a fireball, throwing it at her. As the fire burned her body. Lighting up the whole in Orange light. In the middle flames a figure of a woman continues to burn, as flame instead of devouring the white shadow, the body of the woman becomes more and more visible as flames burn her.
