Chapter 213: Flower Folding Technique
The Old Village Chief saw that they were indeed familiar, so he stepped forward and untied the red silk ribbon from them.
Without the restraints, the Three Women became lively again. Little Bell shouted at the Old Village Chief, "Old man, watch how this beauty will kill you!"
Bang!
Then she swung her palm out.
"Stop!"
Just as Little Bell was about to rush forward, Xiao Yun stepped in and blocked the blow with his body.
"You..."
Little Bell was anxious and said, "Are you daring to bully me in front of outsiders?" It was unclear whether it was due to grievance or because she had been cooped up for days, but tears actually shimmered in the eyes of this Bird Woman.
It was no joke; this Bird Woman had always been unruly and spoiled, doing things according to her whims. Ever since she transformed into a human, she had not changed her nature. She was used to tormenting others and had never been captured and imprisoned for so long.
For her, this was a tremendous humiliation. Not killing this old man with a single strike would be a disgrace to the Spirit Bird's incarnation.
Xiao Yun said solemnly, "The Old Village Chief is not an outsider; please show some respect."
"Hmph!" Seeing Xiao Yun's unusual seriousness, Little Bell had no choice but to swallow her anger, glaring at him fiercely and pouting in silence.
Black Fox and White Cat stepped forward lightly, bowing to Xiao Yun in unison and saying, "We pay our respects to our master!"
"Alright, no need for such formality!" Xiao Yun waved his hand.
The people nearby were taken aback; these two women referred to Xiao Yun as their master. What did that mean?
Cao Ni's heart grew colder. Looking at the situation, the relationship between these three women and Xiao Yun was unusual, especially that little bell. She appeared younger than him, yet she called him a brat. What was that about?
Is hitting a sign of affection, and cursing a sign of love?
This was quite intimate. No, while Xiao Yun was staying here, she needed to ensure that Autumn Moon conquered him.
Once this opportunity passes, there won't be another!
At that moment, Xiao Yun turned to the Old Village Chief and said, "I’m really sorry. These three are my friends. I didn’t expect them to cause trouble as soon as they arrived. I will cover all medical expenses and lost wages for those injured in the village."
"Xiao Yun, you don’t need to say that. Since they are your friends, they are not outsiders. Let’s forget about what happened. How about this: the Village Office will arrange a welcome lunch for you at noon!" the Old Village Chief laughed.
Xiao Yun replied, "That’s too much."
The Old Village Chief said, "You helped us a lot with that little school yesterday; I didn’t even say anything polite then. Why are you being so formal with me now?"
The villagers were honest and straightforward, so Xiao Yun couldn’t refuse any longer.
The Old Village Chief then instructed Cao Ni, "Cao Ni, go to the village and gather some capable women to help with cooking. Make sure to invite some village officials too—oh, and don’t forget to call Teacher Autumn Moon!"
"Okay!" Cao Ni responded and turned to leave with mixed feelings.
Xiao Yun's gaze fell on a red silk ribbon.
He picked it up and weighed it in his hand, realizing it was no ordinary silk; it was quite heavy. He didn’t know what was going on, but when he held the ribbon, he felt a jolt of electricity run through him, causing his hands to tingle.
Upon closer inspection, this wasn’t just any ribbon; it was clearly a divine rope made from crimson dragon tendons, possessing the power to bind dragons and capture immortals. Xiao Yun had encountered such treasures in the game Dreamland Westward Journey but never expected to find one in real life, especially in a mountain village.
"This is a Dragon Binding Rope!"
The Old Village Chief noticed Xiao Yun's confusion and explained, "It is said that when the Painted Immortal Wu Daozi left Painted Immortal Village, he deliberately left this ribbon behind. No matter who it is or how high their martial arts skills are, as long as they are bound by this ribbon, they will immediately behave!"
Beside them, the little bell and the two Enchantresses recalled their predicament in the Village Office, and their faces turned red.
It seemed that Wu Daozi's abilities were truly beyond the expectations of ordinary people. Xiao Yun thought to himself, with the energy of the little bell, arriving at Panlong Mountain, she couldn't even identify the protective formation set up below, nor could she discern the significance of this red silk ribbon. It was truly astonishing!
Seeing Xiao Yun and the Old Village Chief chatting animatedly, the Three Women seemed unable to stay any longer and were about to take their leave.
The Old Village Chief anxiously said, "Ladies, are you still angry with me? Since you are friends of Xiao Yun, you should at least have a meal here before leaving. Why rush off? I apologize on behalf of myself; I hope you can forgive me!"
His words made them feel embarrassed instead, leaving them momentarily speechless. Especially the little bell; her temper flared up quickly but faded just as fast. She simply couldn't bring herself to lower her head and admit defeat, still pouting.
Xiao Yun understood the little bell's thoughts and smiled at the Old Village Chief, saying, "Actually, they came here to enjoy the scenery. Just let them go. They all come from special forces and have killed countless enemies; they inevitably carry a bit of a murderous aura. Please don't mind it, Old Village Chief!"
Joking aside, if he knew their true background—that they had come solely for cultivation—he would surely be shocked.
"Oh, so you are all contributors to China! I apologize for not recognizing your worth!" The Old Village Chief quickly stood up and bowed to the Three Women.
The little bell originally held a grudge against the Old Village Chief but felt a bit ashamed in comparison to his warm hospitality. She shyly said, "Uncle, you are too polite. My sisters and I just want to take a walk in the mountains. We might stay for ten days or half a month; we will surely disturb you then!"
The Old Village Chief replied, "That's great! Ladies, come stay in the village tonight!"
The little bell laughed and said, "No need; we are used to surviving in the wild. If we need anything, we will come find you. Uh, we will take our leave now!"
As she spoke, the Three Women mimicked the Old Village Chief's gesture and cupped their fists in salute. Then they waved goodbye to Xiao Yun and turned to leave.
Watching their departing figures, Xiao Yun suddenly remembered something and hurried after them, calling out, "Little Bell, wait a moment!"
The little bell turned back with a smile at Wan'er and said, "What’s wrong? Can’t bear to see me go? Have you missed me after not seeing me for a few days...?"
What was that supposed to mean...?
The Bird Woman dares to say anything.
Xiao Yun glanced at the two Enchantresses beside her. It was surprising; after just a few days apart, they had become quite charming, having lost their previous frivolity. However, their heavy immersion in the Demonic Sect's sorcery still left an air of Freak about them.
Since these two Enchantresses were subdued and brought to Xiao Yun, the three of them had become as close as sisters, inseparable wherever they went.
Seeing that Xiao Yun was only focused on the two women, Little Bell chuckled and said, "You little brat, don’t think I’ll thank you for saving us today. I brought them here to create two brand new beauties for you, so you can enjoy the company of all three!"
Her words made the two women blush deeply, their flirtatious eyes glistening with emotion, standing there breathless.
This stirred something in Xiao Yun, who smiled and said, "Thank you! I will definitely repay you with double the affection in the future."
"I don't care about your repayment. Now tell me, what do you need from me?"
Only then did Xiao Yun remember the important matter. "To the east from here is a Grand Canyon, which is part of a Spiritual Realm. There’s a girl there cultivating a large patch of flowers and herbs that are very useful to me. If you go there, just take a look; don’t destroy any of the plants!"
He knew that with Little Bell's personality, if she discovered a large number of Spiritual Flowers, she would likely pick them all without restraint. Therefore, he had to explain this to her.
"Alright, with your word, we won't go there," Little Bell replied.
The Village Office in Painted Immortal Village had a cafeteria. After the Three Women left, the Old Village Chief led Xiao Yun into a room next to the cafeteria to sit down. Several village officials arrived upon hearing the news, and the Old Village Chief introduced them one by one to Xiao Yun.
Soon after, Cao Ni arrived with several village women to serve tea.
Looking around the room and noticing the absence of the three women, Cao Ni paused and asked Xiao Yun, "Hey, Xiao Yun, where are your three girlfriends?"
"Oh, they're not eating here; they went deep into the mountains and won't be back tonight. Don't worry about them!" replied Xiao Yun.
"What? Staying in the mountains tonight? There are all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts out there. Can those three girls handle it?" Cao Ni expressed her concern for them.
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and said, "It's fine; those three women are used to being outdoors. They’ll be alright!"
Cao Ni listened and felt a sense of relief in her heart, followed by a secret joy. The way this kid spoke with disdain made it seem like their relationship was quite ordinary!
"Xiao Yun, Autumn Moon will be coming over soon. You need to look after her during dinner and make sure she doesn't drink!" In fact, the food wasn't even ready yet, but Cao Ni spoke to Xiao Yun this way intentionally to show off in front of everyone, implying that his relationship with her daughter was special—he was her future son-in-law.
Xiao Yun understood her implication and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take care of my future wife!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Cao Ni laughed so hard that her eyebrows nearly flew up.
Cao Ni led a few village women to the kitchen of the cafeteria to get busy. Old Village Chief leaned over to Xiao Yun and jokingly asked, "Autumn Moon is a famous beauty in Painted Immortal Village. She loves flowers, grows flowers, and protects flowers. It's not easy to win her over."
Win her over?
Xiao Yun felt a wave of nervous sweat!
At that moment, a clear voice came from outside the door asking, "Who is the flower picker?"
Everyone's gaze turned sharply toward a young girl standing outside the door. They pointed at Xiao Yun in unison and said, "He is the flower picker?"
The girl outside was Qiu Yue. She stepped into the room, her affectionate eyes landing on Xiao Yun's face as she playfully said, "Xiao Yun, when did you become a flower picker?"
