The eyelashes of the "female corpse" below trembled violently.

As if startled.

This tremor stirred up world-shattering waves in this part of the galaxy. Lin Xiaosu's consciousness, like a silver fish, was directly expelled. Before him, there was no skylight, only the serene willow forest temple.

Hu Ya suddenly bounced up and sat upright. "What was that noise?"

She rushed out of the mountain cave.

Lin Xiaosu was still shaken, unsure how to answer...

At this moment, he sat in a dark corner of the Daoist temple, staring blankly into the deep interior of the temple.

The solar energy's light wasn't enough to cover the inner cave, but within the darkness, he could still clearly see everything. It was so unbelievable...

On the cave wall hung a piece of clothing. The stitches on it were scattered haphazardly, clearly the work of Second Uncle. There were three hairs on it, long and soft, clearly a woman's hair. A mosquito started from this hair and flew into the air. He could see every tremor of its wings clearly...

Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye, perceiving the infinitesimal...

Right... there's also Time Reversal!

How to reverse time?

Lin Xiaosu's eyes flickered slightly. Everything before him seemed to rewind. He saw the scene of Hu Ya just getting up. She sprang from the ground, her chest, full as if about to explode, bounced, and she was outside the cave.

His eyes not only possessed microscopic functions but also playback capabilities.

This, this was the Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye!

How did these magical eyes appear?

It was because a skylight opened on the stone. He looked through the skylight at the reclining female corpse. A drop of dew was about to fall onto the corpse's eyelids. Fearing he might disturb her thousand-year slumber, he subconsciously blocked the dewdrop. With this block, he obtained the Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye.

Did my good intentions cause her harm?

It was originally her opportunity. Did I "intercept" it midway? Stealing someone else's opportunity across two disconnected worlds, what did I just do?

The immortal's eyelashes truly moved. She was angry...

Outside, Hu Ya suddenly let out a shout, a very excited shout...

Lin Xiaosu also rushed out of the Daoist temple. Outside, the starlight was hazy. Under the starlight, he saw a scene he would never forget.

Hu Ya's feet were braced against the cliff face, gripping a vine. She was pulling it outwards. This vine had scales on it.

"So it was you, you little thing, disturbing my spring dream. Hurry up and get into my pot!"

Lin Xiaosu's teeth felt a little sore...

"Still so stubborn!"

With a strong pull, stones flew. A large, colorful snake, seven to eight feet long, was forcibly pulled out by her. This snake was extremely ferocious. It arched its body in mid-air and lunged at Hu Ya.

But who was Hu Ya?

She specialized in this!

With a swing of her hand, the large snake was whipped like a soft whip, smack!

It hit the rock!

Smack! Smack! Smack...

After a fierce barrage of whipping, the large snake's head finally shattered. Hu Ya, holding the large colorful snake, was filled with joy...

Lin Xiaosu stared at the rock, his face full of disbelief...

"Scared silly?" Hu Ya nudged him with the snake's tail.

Lin Xiaosu's reaction seemed sluggish. In the past, with a nudge like this, he would have turned and run immediately, but today, he seemed a bit dazed.

"Really scared? Don't worry, sis will protect you!"

"No..." Lin Xiaosu exhaled softly. "Things are a bit strange."

"What?"

"Take a good look, what kind of snake is this?"

Hu Ya reached out and lifted the colorful snake. Her eyes widened immediately. "Holy crap! A Tu Di Po, how can it be this big?"

Tu Di Po, a local venomous snake, extremely poisonous, but its size was at most two feet.

And the one she was holding now was at least two meters long. Even though Hu Ya was famous throughout the county for catching snakes, she had never seen such a bizarre Tu Di Po.

"There's another strange thing. You just used this snake as a whip and hit this rock more than ten times, smashing the rock, but the snake didn't bleed."

Hu Ya glanced at the rock, then at the snake corpse in her hand. "It's true. What's going on? Could it be... a ghost?"

Lin Xiaosu's back suddenly felt cold.

"Ah, I'm afraid of ghosts!" Hu Ya waved her hand, and the colorful snake flew off the cliff. She leaped up and lunged at Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu, fearing her tank-like charge would send him off the cliff, quickly turned and dived back into the Daoist temple.

The latter half of the night passed normally.

Hu Ya got into bed and patted the edge of the bed, signaling Lin Xiaosu to come too.

She slept on the inside, and Lin Xiaosu slept on the outside, pulling on Second Uncle's thin blanket.

For companions who grew up playing naked, such things seemingly weren't much, but tonight felt a little different; at least Hu Ya felt an unprecedented sense of unease.

She was pondering, what if...

Just supposing...

What if a pair of hands reached out from behind, should she kick him off?

However, the scenario she imagined never materialized.

It made the girl relax a little, but also feel a bit disappointed.

If it were Lin Xiaosu from half an hour ago, he might have actually played along with "the little game she set up" at this moment, but his mind had wandered. He hadn't even bothered.

Before midnight, he absolutely wouldn't have believed Second Uncle.

But now, he did.

Because he had personally witnessed the anomaly that occurred on the day of the Yellow Dao's abnormal change.

His eyes had completely mutated.

He had just used the "Time Reversal" technique to trace the origin of the strange Earth Mother in Hu Ya's hand.

Before midnight, this Earth Mother was still of normal size, only about a foot long. But when that faint light passed over it at midnight, this snake grew out of nowhere right before his "eyes," transforming into a "giant snake" seven or eight feet long...

What was truly strange was that faint light at midnight.
