Chapter 198: The Best Option

She underestimated how tightly sealed his mouth was.

She talked to the old man for the entire journey until they reached a dilapidated temple, but he continued repeating the same words.

However, he did have some variation to his answers, and she soon learnt that his name is Ze Mengrao.

Judging from Lu Xus memory, the Miao ancestors had this surname as well, and they worshipped dragon and snake totems as their gods.

Plus, he accidentally revealed that he was once young, and he saw a foreigner who wore a long coat and braids.

Moreover, he revealed that he was the former priest of the village, but due to an unknown reason, he had lost all qualifications to serve the gods.

Just as she wanted to ask how the veins in his forehead grew, and he glared and growled at her.

She immediately shut up, but she wasnt discouraged. Rome was not built in a single day.

Arriving in front of the temple, Ze Mengrao paused and glanced at Yibei, pushing open the door.

The temple looked dilapidated, and the tiles were covered with tiny plants. The walls were pitted, and some parts even collapsed.

Staring at the door, a memory of Bright appeared in her mind.

According to tradition, you cannot paint a door black or bad luck might come to you. Of course, the door to the temple was black.

Through the door, you can see one red and one black beam. It is said that red beams are unlucky for men, while green beams are unlucky for women.

Soon, they came to a courtyard filled with water tanks.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

It was also bad luck for water tanks to face the door, but there were plenty of them facing the door.

In addition, there were coins stacked on the beams and windchimes made of unknown bones. A crooked locust tree grew in the courtyard.

Judging from Brights study of Feng Shui, this temple was simply unacceptable.

Bright really is a bright light to me. To survive, she gathered so much niche knowledgeif only she were still alive.

Walking into the courtyard, she felt that she was able to face anything. It wasnt like she had no experience with this.

There is no dawn in the realm of bamboo scrolls.

In the dark forest, Gu Qianqian breathed heavily as he leaned on the trunk of a big tree.

Beside her, there were several half-human, half-snake monsters. Their bodies were twisted and deformed, with varying degrees of injuries. The only thing they had in common was their heavily crushed heads as if a vehicle had run over them.

I got them all, system. Can I eat the grilled fish now?

Well, if you can still eat

Of course I can! she beamed, fumbling for the grilled fish in her pockets. Just as she was about to chomp down, the system stopped her.

Wait!

Whats wrong? I thought you said I could eat it.

Thats right, but let me smell it before you eat it. Just to make sure.

No!

Gu Qianqian, I can vaguely smell the World Ender on that piece of fish. Please let me smell it before you eat it.

Youre so lame, she pouted. Nobody believes you.

She dangled the grilled fish before her eyes and swallowed it in one clean swoop. All the system could do was watch helplessly.

System, when you mentioned the Witch, I suddenly remembered something!

What is it?

Didnt you say that as long as one of the seven World Enders is prevented from being born, the world can be saved? So why are we keeping an eye on the one that is already born?

Thats because

Thats because this is the only one whose location I can determine.

Because its easier to deal with her, the system said thoughtfully.
