Ancient Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 66 begins

After Li Laoshi and his group left, Lin Xiu returned to the house.

With Dr. Chang's words, Lin Xiu felt somewhat relieved.

Of course, this was not mainly because the doctor had seen him, but because he trusted Yao Rongrong.

Having spent so much time together on the journey from Mengzhou City to here, Yao Rongrong's prowess had left a very deep impression on Lin Xiu.

In his subconscious, Yao Rongrong's strength could be summed up in just two words—reliable.

I really don't know how this woman trained herself to be like that, and when will I be able to train myself to be like her?

Lin Xiu thought to himself.

After entering the house, he glanced at Yao Rongrong and found that she had woken up at some point and was staring at him with her big eyes.

While he was slightly surprised, he also felt a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but complain, "When did you wake up? Stop staring at me."

It suddenly stared at me like that, like a ghost, it was kind of scary.

Yao Rongrong said, "I wish I were a ghost, I'd scare you to death!"

Lin Xiu said speechlessly, "What did I do to offend you that you want me dead?"

As he spoke, he walked over to Yao Rongrong's stall, squatted down, and asked, "How are you? Feeling better?"

"not good!"

Yao Rongrong turned to the side, avoiding Lin Xiu's gaze, and said, "Sir, you intend to harm me. How can I possibly recover?"

Lin Xiu then realized that Yao Rongrong's condition had improved considerably.

If things were like before, how could this woman possibly have the strength to speak? And yet she's throwing such a tantrum...

This is really inexplicable...

"How have I ever hurt you?"

"By asking that doctor for medicine for me, what else could it be but harming me?"

"...Ha, so it turns out you're just afraid of taking medicine..."

"What's wrong with being afraid of taking medicine? Is there a problem? I've been afraid of taking medicine since I was a child. Otherwise, why do you think I'd cultivate myself? It's because I don't get sick as often after cultivating!"

"Is that so? That's amazing!"

"Ugh! So noisy!"

Okay, okay, you think I'm too noisy, huh!

Lin Xiu immediately got up, turned around and went out.

Just as he was about to close the door, Yao Rongrong hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go listen to Han Cheng's storytelling; you just stay home and lie there obediently!"

After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he closed the door and went to the base of the big tree.

There is a towering tree in the village, its branches and leaves as lush as a canopy, located right in the center of the village. Lin Xiu does not know its species.

He could see the big tree from the door of his residence, but he didn't rush over. Instead, he walked away slowly, listened into the house for a while, and only left after confirming that Yao Rongrong was indeed alright.

He had originally thought that Han Cheng might come to call him, but since Han Cheng hadn't come, he stopped waiting and climbed down the tree himself.

When they arrived under the big tree, Han Cheng was already there, and he had even set up a table for storytelling in the shade of the tree, with a gavel on the table.

However, there was no one else here besides Han Cheng, which made Lin Xiu wonder if Han Cheng's previous popularity was just an illusion.

Han Cheng saw Lin Xiu and said, "Oh dear, Brother Lin, how did you get here all by yourself? A wild bull was killed in the village today, and everyone has gone to see the excitement. They won't be able to come over for a while."

I was originally planning to wait until some people arrived before inviting Brother Lin over, but I didn't expect Brother Lin to come by himself."

Lin Xiu said, "It's alright, it's alright. I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll just wait here for a while."

Han Cheng smiled and said, "Alright, thank you for waiting with me, Brother Lin."

After waiting for a short while, no other villagers came; instead, Yao Rongrong arrived.

Hearing the footsteps, Lin Xiu looked towards the source of the sound from afar and saw Yao Rongrong walking briskly, her complexion having recovered considerably and no longer appearing as pale as before. He breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Miss Yao's cultivation methods are indeed effective!

I need to work harder on my self-cultivation.

Lin Xiu was thinking to himself when he saw Yao Rongrong approaching, her eyes filled with a mysterious light, as if she wanted to say something strange. So he decided to take the initiative and asked first:

"Why aren't you resting at home? What are you doing here?"

Yao Rongrong pouted and said, "I'm not doing anything serious. I can go wherever I want. It's none of your business!"

Alright, it still didn't stop the witch from speaking with barbs.

So Lin Xiu simply skipped the topic and said, "I really didn't expect you to recover so quickly. You only needed to sleep for a short while to recover like this. Is your cultivation method that powerful?"

If it were me, how long would it take me to reach your level?

"I'm not telling you, hmph!"

Yao Rongrong gave a soft hum and said.

Lin Xiu: "..."

Han Cheng listened for a while, smacked his lips, and laughed.

Yao Rongrong and Lin Xiu noticed Han Cheng's silent laughter and immediately shut up, making Han Cheng feel embarrassed and laugh as well.

The scene was a bit embarrassing.

After a short while, people began to arrive from under the tree, discussing as they walked, marveling at the strength of the bull at the village entrance and how many people it had injured and how badly they were injured.

However, they only knew that Yao Rongrong was a temporary resident from out of town, and did not know that Yao Rongrong was also a key contributor to this hunting expedition.

Therefore, even though Yao Rongrong was sitting here with Lin Xiu, the villagers didn't take Yao Rongrong seriously. Those who glanced at her more often just thought that the girl was really pretty.

Some of these people carried small wooden stools, while others came empty-handed. They sat down on the ground or on stones, and once seated, they continued to chatter on and on.

There was a buzzing sound under the big tree for a while, disturbing the peace, until Han Cheng hit the gavel and made a "snap" sound, and the place quieted down.

"In the chaos before creation, heaven and earth were in disarray, a vast and boundless void unseen by anyone. Since Pangu shattered the primordial chaos, the distinction between pure and impure has been established. All living beings rely on his supreme benevolence for shelter and sustainment, and all things are created for good. To foresee the primordial power of creation, one must read Journey to the West—"

Release! Calamity! Propagation!

After Han Cheng finished reciting a poem to mark the occasion, he did so with great cadence and passion.

Everyone shouted, "Good!"

Even Lin Xiu clapped and cheered.

But then everyone immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Xiu didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions.

Yao Rongrong chuckled softly to herself, then leaned close to Lin Xiu's ear and whispered, "Sir, I don't think he spoke as well as you."

Lin Xiu said, "You haven't even heard me tell the story of 'Journey to the West,' how do you know I can tell it better than him?"

Yao Rongrong continued, "I haven't heard you tell the story of 'Journey to the West,' but I have heard you tell the story of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' the story of Wu Erlang killing people."

Anyway, you just speak better than him!

Lin Xiu asked, "So, are you still going to listen or not?"

Yao Rongrong said, "I won't listen, I'll just watch. I want to see their reaction to this story."
