Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 399: The Mysterious Hidden World Village (4)_1

Shangguan You’s face paled slightly at the sight of the rollercoaster-like tracks. Hidden World Village, such a mysterious place, why on earth couldn’t they build a decent road?"Don’t underestimate these passages," Ye Er Shao spoke coldly. "Without formidable strength, one simply can’t leave Hidden World Village, nor can they enter. This is to ensure a good relationship between the secular world and Hidden World Village, to prevent individuals from entering the mortal realm and harming society, and also to stop those from the secular world from entering Hidden World Village. If you can’t even withstand this, then entering Hidden World Village is simply a death sentence for you."

Looking at the vehicle, now filled with people, he took his seat in sequence. Just as the two of them settled down, a man in white sat next to Shangguan You and nodded politely at them.

At 5:30 AM sharp, everyone, including those who had been waiting outside, entered and took their seats. The vehicle stirred up a gust of wind and started moving quickly.

The moment the vehicle started, it shot down the steep slope, and Shangguan You couldn’t help but cry out. Seeing the disdain in everyone’s eyes and feeling Ye Er Shao’s warning glare, she quickly covered her mouth to stifle a shriek. The man in white next to her smiled kindly at Shangguan You.

"Don’t be afraid," the man whispered reassuringly.

Shangguan You nodded gratefully. Damn you, Ye Er Shao! You never said it would be this terrifying!

The instant the vehicle moved, waves of pressure, carried by the wind, slammed into everyone. Shangguan You circulated her Spiritual Energy throughout her body, slowly dissolving the pressure. She knew this was a test for Cultivators and ordinary people alike.

"If you’re not a Cultivator, even if you manage to enter here, you’ll be eliminated by this invisible impact," Ye Er Shao transmitted his voice into her ear. As if to confirm his words, a person sitting in front suddenly spat blood and was violently flung from their seat by the pressure, landing back near the entrance. They lay still, not getting up.

Shangguan You’s expression was unsettled as she watched the path behind them slowly vanish, along with the passage they had just traversed.

"This is just the beginning. Since you’ve come, you have to adapt," Ye Er Shao’s cold voice sounded in her ear again. The pressure around her dissipated, and the air filled with a faint Spiritual Energy that began to seep into her body.

"I know. I just want to rescue Zhuge Feng, that’s all. Nothing else concerns me, nor do I want to get involved," Shangguan You nodded, appreciating the scenery along the way. The passages here were indeed very well hidden.

If one wasn’t a Cultivator, finding this place would be incredibly difficult. Without Ye Er Shao leading me, I would never have found it, even with a map.

"Stop looking like an excited country bumpkin. Everyone else is frantically absorbing Spiritual Energy, so you’d better pretend to do the same. I don’t want us to be discovered the moment we enter Hidden World Village."

Shangguan You rolled her eyes again. Seeing that everyone had their eyes closed, slowly absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth, she had no choice but to take a deep breath and feign absorption.

The Spiritual Energy in my own space is much stronger than this, and the cultivation technique I practice is different from everyone else’s. I don’t want to arouse suspicion.

The previously winding road gradually flattened, and the scenery along the way grew increasingly beautiful. When Shangguan You opened her eyes, she was met by a pair of tea-colored eyes looking at her with an ambiguous smile.

Shangguan You’s heart skipped a beat. Was I just discovered pretending? Feeling the white-robed man’s playful gaze, Shangguan You’s face flushed, though thankfully, it was disguised.

"HEH HEH," the man chuckled, his amusement growing as he watched the vexed Shangguan You. I didn’t expect to meet such an interesting girl. Her eyes are as clear as water, sparkling like stars, even if her face is rather plain. The way she was looking around and mimicking others absorbing Spiritual Energy was quite adorable.

"HEHEHE," Shangguan You giggled foolishly and shifted closer to Ye Er Shao.

"Cousin, I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Shangguan You glanced at Ye Er Shao and asked endearingly. Damn it! That man’s intense gaze is unbearable. Have I been found out already, right after we started?

"Here, eat this," the man’s pleasant voice sounded as he handed Shangguan You a large red apple.

The corners of her mouth twitched violently. Good heavens, just strike me with lightning and put me out of my misery! I’ve run into a pervert!

"Thank you, Uncle," Shangguan You said, taking the apple and smiling sweetly at the man in white, though inwardly she was extremely frustrated.

"Cousin, are you hungry too? Let’s share," Shangguan You offered half the apple to Ye Er Shao, ignoring his icy stare.

Uncle? The smile on the man’s lips stiffened for a moment but quickly recovered.

Ye Er Shao glanced briefly at the man in white before quickly looking away. This girl attracted his attention the moment she arrived. It looks like this trip to Hidden World Village will be quite a show.

"Uncle, you’re so handsome," Shangguan You remarked, nibbling on her apple while looking at the man in white with a captivated expression. Perhaps her stare was too intense, or her focus too unwavering, because the man’s handsome face flushed red.

"Girl, I’m not even thirty yet. You should call me brother."

"But my cousin said that good-looking people should be called ’Uncle,’ and only people who look like my cousin can be called ’brother’," Shangguan You stated innocently.

The piece of apple Ye Er Shao was eating lodged in his throat, and his face turned crimson. I really want to strangle this girl! What kind of twisted logic is that? Besides, while her fawning expression might be off-putting in the secular world, in the Cultivation World, that look would make countless men flock to her like moths to a flame!

"You foolish girl, if you don’t want to die, drop that lovesick act of yours! Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died!" Ye Er Shao transmitted his voice to her again.

"Why? With such an ugly face, wouldn’t this kind of behavior just make men dislike me?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, confused.

"I’ve told you before, Hidden World Village is different from the secular world, and the women here are different from those outside. If you don’t want to cause trouble, lose that infatuated expression."
