Chapter 34 The silence was so profound it sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
Even though she lost most of her abilities due to the forced return to this world and needs to start cultivating from scratch, the little power she still has is something that people from this world cannot handle.
As the two assassins pounced on Xia Mo, his divine sense, moving from a single strand, instantly split into forty strands.
The threads of divine sense moved with Xia Mo's will, aiming at the very center of the thighs of the twenty assassins.
Xia Mo waved to the assassins, turned around, and left with a cool and dashing gait.
Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng: "..."
Xia Mo is practically turning her back on the enemy! Isn't that blatant suicide?!
Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng's thoughts haven't even settled yet!
Just as Xia Mo turned around, a shocking scene unfolded simultaneously!
"Ah ah ah..."
A series of screams suddenly rang out unexpectedly.
Twenty assassins, none spared. Their thighs were pierced by an unknown force, bones pierced through, blood gushing forth. The charging assassins, crippled instantly by the pierced leg bones, had no time to react and collapsed to the ground before they could recover.
Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng: "..."
The world is quiet!
Apart from the assassins' painful gasps, the only sound was the rustling of the wind through the trees beside the road, making the world seem even quieter, so quiet that it sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
That is, at this moment...
Xia Mo sighed and muttered to herself in an ambiguous tone, "These assassins are really lucky."
Because she cultivates immortality, she values karma and does not want to be entangled in karma, so she cannot take people's lives casually. However, if someone makes things difficult for her, she can retaliate twice as hard, but she still cannot take people's lives casually.
Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng were utterly speechless when they heard Xia Mo muttering to himself.
The legs of twenty assassins were instantly crippled, yet they were all knocked to the ground. How could she say they were lucky?!
Xia Mo didn't stop. Carrying her large bundle, she bypassed the assassins blocking her way and continued on her way to Anping County.
Xia Moren left, but her spiritual thread remained; she wanted to observe the aftermath.
As Huangfu Qian watched Xia Mo leave, the feeling of being spied on returned, and Huangfu Qian's expression hardened.
That feeling of being spied on but not being able to find out who is spying on me is back!
It was as if someone had opened a third eye above him, able to see everything about him.
Xia Mo, who was spying on "Young Master Wei (Huangfu Qian)," was somewhat surprised. This time, her divine sense was not directly spying on "Young Master Wei (Huangfu Qian)" alone, but observing things from the side. Her presence was so weak that it was almost non-existent. Even so, "Young Master Wei (Huangfu Qian)" was still able to sense her!
Amazing!
Huangfu Qian, holding a knife, ordered Jiang Feng: "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
Huangfu Qian was worried that if he didn't eliminate all twenty assassins, they would reveal Xia Mo's existence and thus threaten Xia Mo.
For a fleeting moment, he wondered if Xia Mo had used some magical ability to cripple the legs of twenty people. But that thought was just that—a fleeting one.
How could a peasant girl raised in the countryside possibly do that?!
Huangfu Qian rationally felt that this was impossible.
"Yes!"
Jiang Feng accepted the order.
The twenty assassins, whose legs had been crippled, were no match for Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng and were immediately silenced.
At this late summer, as he sprinted with renewed vigor, the distance between him and Huangfu Qian continued to widen.
At the end of summer, the body and spirit can move easily within one kilometer without worrying about damaging the body. However, if the spirit exceeds one kilometer, it will put a burden on the body, causing the body to be unable to withstand it, resulting in a negative state or even illness.
Seeing that Xia Mo was about to reach a kilometer away from "Young Master Wei" (Huangfu Qian), she decisively withdrew her divine sense and stopped paying attention.
Xia Mo looked up at the sky, a little worried that she wouldn't be able to get home in time for dinner.
Xia Mo took a breath and sped up again.
Before going home, she had to go up the mountain first.
When they went into the mountains, they saw a wild rabbit and thought of taking it home. Xia Mo casually used her divine sense to stun it and grabbed it in her hand.
Xia Mo ran into the forest where the wolves lived, which was their territory.
Upon seeing Xia Mo, the resting wolves instantly stood up, their green eyes glaring at her with unease and vigilance.
By the end of summer, it was certain that the alpha wolf possessed the intelligence of a three-year-old child.
Xia Mo smiled at the wolf and said, "How about we make a small deal?"
The alpha wolf stomped its feet on the ground, staring at Xia Mo with agitation, as if it couldn't understand what Xia Mo was saying.
"I'll leave this packet of medicinal herbs in your cave for you to keep safe. As payment for keeping them safe, you can have these five wild rabbits. How about it?" Xia Mo smiled.
If this were in spring or early autumn, the wolf pack wouldn't be short of food, so such a transaction wouldn't be possible. But now... it's late autumn.
The alpha wolf growled a few times in agitation, and the pack parted to make way for Xia Mo, as if to see if she dared to walk through.
Summer was in the air, and she happily carried her bundle toward the wolf pack.
A human-like look of surprise flashed in the alpha wolf's lush green eyes.
The wolves nervously glanced at the alpha wolf every now and then, waiting for the latest instructions.
After placing a large package of medicinal herbs inside the wolf pack's cave at the end of summer, Xia threw the five still-alive but unconscious wild rabbits to the alpha wolf.
"We've reached a deal," Xia Mo said with a grin, waving her hand.
She needs to hurry on her way.
Anjia Village, Xiajia Village—
At this time, Xia's father, eldest brother, and second brother were still busy. They would occasionally look towards the direction of the mountain, hoping to return home at the end of summer.
Xia's mother and third brother stood guard at the door, looking towards the mountain.
They know their little sister is very capable now, but as her family, they can't help but worry.
Returning home as summer draws to a close, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
The sunset glow shone on Xia Mo, as if coating her with a layer of light, making her look even more dazzling and charming.
Xia's father and mother's eyes lit up.
The three people, unable to put down their work, didn't move. Xia's mother and Xia's third brother eagerly went to greet Xia Mo.
"Little sister."
"Nannah."
Seeing the worried faces of her family at the end of summer, she gave them a shy, obedient smile.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I'm back," Xia Mo said, her throat dry and hoarse.
How could she let her family worry about her?!
I felt a bit guilty at the end of summer.
"It's good that you're back," Xia's mother said, taking Xia Mo's hand and leading her inside.
Those secretly observing the Xia family fell silent after noticing the attitude of Xia's mother and the others.
The people secretly watching the Xia family were not just anyone, but people from their own village.
They were curious about how Xia Mo's family got their business, and whether there was some secret hidden in their smoked meat. Otherwise, why would such a successful family call their smoked meat "Xia Mo's family" instead of others?
They wanted to know the secret recipe, so they secretly watched from not far from the Xia family's house.
Before they even saw the secret recipe for the smoked meat, they witnessed the Xia family's cloyingly sweet and harmonious demeanor.
A complex, indescribable feeling arose in their hearts, including envy.
They are a family at home, but their home atmosphere is not as close-knit and loving as the Xia family's. Instead, it's filled with petty squabbles like "Who ate more?" or "Who did less?"
