Chapter 665 - 655: Benefits
The name of this town is called Gushui Town. Although it doesn’t have the small bridges and flowing water like the Jiangnan Water Village, it is surrounded by endless mountains and green shades.Looking at the surrounding environment, Yu Yu couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Why is it called Gushui Town? I haven’t seen any water."
"The water here doesn’t refer to small bridges and flowing streams, nor shallow ponds and small creeks," Bi Xia casually responded, "According to legend, this water refers to the endless deep pool guarded behind the town."
"Hmm?" Not only Yu Yu, but even Zhang Dafu and others looked over curiously.
People are indeed curious, especially when they hear stories with a touch of mystery. They perked up their ears and watched Bi Xia closely, eagerly anticipating Bi Xia’s next words.
Bi Xia slightly raised an eyebrow, turned and saw Xu Renfei blinking at her. She pursed her lips before continuing, "According to legend, this town is an ancient fragrant town. It wasn’t surrounded by the current high mountains but by truly clear waters and lush mountains. Anywhere in the town, you could find endless flowing creeks."
"These creeks were extremely clean. The people in the town would fetch water from them and eat from the mountains. The people in the town were also exceptionally kind, always helping each other. In simple terms, this small town was like a harmonious society."
Han Yue thought for a moment, "It’s somewhat like the Peach Blossom Spring, right?"
Bi Xia shrugged and continued, "Because this small town wasn’t an actual utopia, it was just surrounded by mountains, so it was difficult for ordinary people to find it. One day, the people in the town discovered bloodstains in the mountains, and even the creeks began to have blood in them, causing the townspeople to panic."
"Later, the town chief organized the townspeople to start searching the mountains and found an abyss in front of the back mountain. The abyss was bottomless, but there were large patches of blood around it. The town chief began to assign people to guard the abyss, but each time they found that the person assigned to guard it would disappear without a trace the next day."
"Finally, one day, a person returned covered in wounds. It turned out that a giant beast was hiding in the abyss. The beast was covered in black flames and would come out to hunt whenever the moon was at its brightest. They also said the beast could turn into human form."
"This news spread throughout the town, causing widespread panic. The previously harmonious society started to breed mutual distrust, fearing that someone might break into their homes and turn into the beast to devour them."
"What happened next, what happened next???" Meng Han asked eagerly.
Zhang Dafu was also anxious, "Yeah, yeah, don’t leave us hanging."
Bi Xia rolled her eyes and said directly, "Later, a Taoist came and said the beast had always plagued the world. When he tried to subdue it, he severely injured it, and it escaped here. So he subdued the beast."

"...Just like that???" AC couldn’t help but ask.
Bi Xia paused, just about to say ’Just like that,’ but when she saw those pairs of eager eyes, she choked. At this moment, the one who knew Bi Xia best, Xu Renfei, spoke up, "Little Jiu’er, after you finish the story, big brother will take you to eat all the delicious food here!"
Bi Xia swallowed her saliva.
Xu Renfei continued, "All-you-can-eat! Whatever you want to eat!"
"Deal," Bi Xia nodded, turned to put her arm around Xu Renfei, and was about to leave, "I’ll tell you the rest in private."
"Bi Xiaojiu!!!" Li Han hurriedly stopped Bi Xia, "Why are you only telling Xu Renfei?"
Bi Xia looked at Li Han and said seriously, "Because only Xu Renfei gave me benefits."
