Three Peril Mountain, Luan Clan Secret Realm, in this paradise that is not prosperous but peaceful, all the Luan people live an ordinary life living and working in peace and contentment without fighting against the world.
In the secret realm, a small river runs through the entire east-west direction. Beside the small river, there are scattered rows of wooden houses standing. In front of one of the rows of wooden houses, a delicate-looking woman is busy and never stops for a moment.
The bright moon was shining high in the sky, and the sky was already dark. The woman brought the prepared meals into the wooden house, then walked to the two daughters' rooms and called out Dong Yu and Xia Zhi.
"Xia Zhi, go ask Mr. Ning to come out for dinner."
The woman glanced at her daughter who was staring at the food and said with a gentle expression.
"Huh? Okay."
Xia Zhi came to his senses, nodded quickly, turned around and walked towards the innermost room.
Squeak, at this moment, the door opened, and Ning Chen in plain white clothes walked out. He looked at Xia Zhi who was walking towards him, and said with a smile, "It smells so good."
"That's right, my mother's craftsmanship is the best."
Xia Zhi raised his head proudly, as if he was the one being praised.
"Mr. Ning, I came here to eat. It's just a simple meal. I hope that my husband can still eat." The woman turned back, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile.
"That's very kind of you, madam."
Ning Chen walked forward and looked at the table of hot meals. He sighed inexplicably. It had been a long time since he had eaten such home-cooked meals.
After running around all these years, he had almost forgotten what the so-called simple meal tasted like.
"Sit down and try it quickly. The rice cooked by my mother is delicious."
Next to him, Xia Zhi reached out and pushed the former onto the seat, urging him with hope.
Opposite, the woman and Dong Yu also sat down, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Xia Zhi consciously sat next to Ning Chen, staring at the latter with big eyes, waiting for the answer.
Ning Chen took some food and put it into his mouth, tasted it, then gave a thumbs up to the girl next to him and praised, "It's delicious."
Xia Zhi smiled after hearing this, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction and started eating happily.
Seeing this, the woman smiled softly and said nothing more.
On the contrary, Dong Yu frowned slightly, a little worried about his sister.
"Dong Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Zhi glanced at the former and said in confusion.
"It's okay."
Dong Yu gathered his thoughts, responded lightly, then lowered his head and started eating.
Xia Zhi glanced at his mother and Ning Chen next to him in confusion. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about them, he didn't take it seriously and continued to eat happily.
After finishing one bowl of rice, Ning Chen asked for another bowl. Xia Zhi volunteered to help him fill the rice bowl, which made Dong Yu extremely surprised.
Normally, she and her mother would do the cooking at home, but this girl had never done it once.
"Here."
Xia Zhi came back with the rice, handed it to the people around him, and said happily.
"Thank you, girl Xia Zhi" Ning Chen said with a chuckle.
After half an hour of dinner, the three people at the table seemed to be in a good mood except Dong Yu. After dinner, Ning Chen got up and wanted to help clean up, but the woman shook her head and refused.
"Young master, please rest. These things are not what men should do."
The woman said something with a smile and asked Dong Yu and Xia Zhi to help clear the table. The family was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere looked great.
Ning Chen stood there, quietly feeling the rare warm atmosphere, with a smile on his calm face. Ordinary life is a blessing. I hope Xia Zhi's family can always be so happy.
Outside the wooden house, the bright moon is rising in the east, and the night is slightly cool, but it is so beautiful that it is intoxicating.
The moonlight fell on the small river, reflecting a bright curve of Mingyue, a paradise without any disputes from the world, without the disputes of the world, everything looked so peaceful.
Ning Chen walked to the wooden house and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. Gradually, his eyes became a little distracted.
"It's getting cold at night, Mr. Ning let's go to bed early."
At some point, the woman appeared in front of the wooden house and spoke in a gentle tone.
Ning Chen came back to his senses, saw the woman beside him, and said respectfully, "Thank you for your hospitality today, madam."
The woman smiled and said, "Mr. Ning You're welcome. You are Dong Yu and Xia Zhi's savior. These are what I should do."
"Dong Yu and Xia Zhi are both good girls, but I don't understand why Luan King chose them to assassinate Asahi Royal City's young master this time." Ning Chen said, expressing his doubts.
The woman looked at the peaceful night ahead and whispered, "Mr. Ning What do you think of this place?"
"No worries, a paradise." Ning Chen said truthfully.
"It is indeed peaceful here, but Mr. Ning should also have discovered that there are not many men left in this secret realm."
A flash of emotion flashed in the woman's eyes, and she said, "Behind any peace, there is blood and sacrifice, and the Luan tribe is no exception. Now most of the men in our tribe have died in battle. For the peace of this secret realm, the remaining women have to go out and fight."
Ning Chen After hearing this, he fell silent. Everyone has an inviolable forbidden land in their heart. Peace is always hard-won.
"It's getting late, Mr. Ning, please rest early."
The woman calmed down, looked at the young man beside her, and smiled.
"Yeah"
Ning Chen nodded, and just as he was about to go back to the house, he stopped again and said, "Madam, are you Mortal Realm?"
The woman smiled and nodded, and said, "It happened thousands of years ago. People of the Luan tribe have long lifespans. It is not too difficult to become a Mortal Realm. However, I am not good at martial arts. Even if I become a Mortal Realm, I will not be the master's opponent."
"Ma'am, you are too modest."
Ning Chen responded softly without saying anything else. He bowed and walked back to the wooden house.
Outer Heavens, Moon Worshipper Sacred Land, on the altar, the phoenix in red stood quietly, crossing the distant starry sky, feeling the call from the distance.
"I will be away for a few days, so please guard the holy place carefully."
The young man in red glanced at the powerful men below Moon Worshipper Clan and said.
"Yes"
The four Moon Worshipper Clan strong men bowed respectfully and took orders.
The next moment, in the sky above Moon Worshipper Sacred Land, the Divine Forbidden City opened, and the phoenix spread its wings and flew away at extremely high speed.
The speed that transcended the boundaries between heaven and earth was like red lightning piercing the starry sky. It was so fast that one could not even see the afterimage. Before he could recover, he had already disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.
Among the Luan Clan Secret Realm, Ning Chen was quietly waiting for the arrival of Phoenix Body, without any anxiety on his face.
On the seventh day, in front of Three Peril Mountain, phoenix fire filled the air. In the flames, a figure in red walked out, looked at the secret realm with dense formations in front of him, and stopped.
After waiting for a moment, the void stirred in front of the mountains, and Plain-clothed Figure appeared. Behind him, two beautiful women followed and walked out together.
After looking at them for a moment, Dong Yu and Xia Zhi's expressions were shocked, and it was difficult to recover for a while.
