Checking in with the goddess Bei Woman and receiving the Black Tortoise Precious Technique
"Please, brother, spare us!"
Seeing that the sacrificial spirits all bowed to Qianye, Nongli Qing immediately knelt down and said. ♨♜ Opaw 💝♔
"Please, brother, spare us!"
Seeing that the Guardian Spirit and the old clan chief had already knelt down, the villagers, men, women, and children, dared not stand and all knelt down as well.
Qian Ye glanced at them. "Alright, we're here to negotiate, not to cause trouble. If you hadn't attacked first, I wouldn't have attacked."
"Thank you, brother." The Guardian Spirit wolf breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with the villagers.
Suddenly, the Guardian Spirit wolf turned around and transformed into a little girl dressed in yellow, who was no more than 1.5 meters tall.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
So cute, so beautiful.
"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in with Goddess Bei Woman! Reward: Black Tortoise Precious Technique!"
The system features a loli voice.
Qian Ye accepted it with a smile, and then looked at the little wolf Bei Woman in front of him. She was so cute, petite and exquisite, and her beauty was breathtaking.
Qian Ye knew something about the bei. In that world, legend had it that the bei had short and small front legs and could not walk on all fours. It could only walk upright on its two hind legs, but it was very slow. So it usually lived with wolves. In case of an emergency, the bei could not walk fast, so it would put its front body on the wolf to move faster.
This is also the origin of the saying "colluding with each other for evil."
Generally speaking, if there is a jackal in a wolf pack, it is considered the strategist of the pack. The clever and cunning jackal is smarter than the wolf, otherwise, it would not be able to live in the wolf pack and be supported by them.
But the Guardian Spirit wolf in the Bei Village is no ordinary wolf. She is a beast with cultivation, not only the most capable guardian of the Bei Village, but also the one who has evolved wings, controls ten giant wolves, and possesses precious bones and techniques, making her extremely powerful.
If it weren't for Qian Ye, Shi Linhu and the others wouldn't have been a match for her at all.
In the original Perfect World novel, it was only through the intervention of the Willow Deity that the Guardian Spirit Wolf was killed; otherwise, Stone Village would have been destroyed by this wolf.
The Bei Woman glanced at the Bei Liqing and said, "Chieftain, prepare dinner immediately to entertain our elder brother?"
"Yes... yes, Guardian Spirit Master." Bei Liqing agreed and immediately called the villagers to prepare to go.
Then, the Bei Woman led Qian Ye to the Council Hall of the Bei Village, where they sat down on the left and right.
Hu Niu, the old clan chief, and Shi Linhu sat beside Qian Ye, gazing at the little wolf Bei Woman opposite them.
It's really puzzling. Just a moment ago, it was a fierce-looking wolf at the village entrance, but now it's so cute!
Qian Ye looked at the Bei Woman, and the Bei Woman looked back at Qian Ye. After a while, the Bei Woman finally spoke:
"Brother, I think you've come here to ask why the people of our Bei Village have been attacking the villagers of your Stone Village recently, right?"
Qian Ye nodded and looked towards Shi Yunfeng. ✌♖ ✌🐟
The old clan chief nodded, understanding Qian Ye's meaning. "Yes, Guardian Spirit, we and Xiao Ye have not come here to cause trouble for your Bei Village, but to understand why you attacked our villagers?"

The Bei Woman sighed and said, "My cultivation is about to break through to the Heavenly Passage Mirror, and my current cultivation is at the Peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, but breaking through won't be so easy."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that the Peak of the Blood Transformation Realm is only one step away from the Heavenly Passage Realm. That one step is incredibly difficult, and perhaps impossible to break through. However, I'm quite lucky. A once-in- Thousand-Year opportunity has arrived: the Suanni Overlord deep within the mountains."
"It's about to die of old age and is searching for a place to bury its corpse within the mountains. So I want to possess the Old Suanni's corpse for myself. With its precious bones and flesh, I'm sure I can break through to the next level. And the villagers who eat its flesh will also become stronger."
"That's why we didn't want your Stone Village to get close to that place. We had the villagers dig traps and shoot arrows at you from the shadows, all to make you back down and not get too close to the Old Suanni. That's all."
"It's just that you didn't back down from our attack, and continued to go hunting every day, heading towards the direction of the Old Suanni, which is why we attacked you so fiercely."
"I see!" The old patriarch nodded. He had already guessed something, and now that he heard what the Bei Woman said, he was certain of his guess.
Shi Linhu was furious, but with Qian Ye and the old clan chief present, he didn't say anything.
He also understood that his own villagers had already set their sights on the Old Suanni's corpse and would not give it to the Bei Village. On that day, he would still have to fight the Bei Village people for the Old Suanni's corpse, so there was nothing more to say.
It's only a matter of time before the two sides clash, unless the Bei Village voluntarily relinquishes the Old Suanni's corpse.
Otherwise, it will surely be a life-or-death battle.
They would not relinquish ownership of the Old Suanni's corpse unless they fought to the point of mutual destruction.
"Xiao Ye, what do you think?" the old patriarch asked Qian Ye. Although he was the old patriarch of Stone Village, Qian Ye was now a powerful figure in Stone Village, so naturally the old patriarch had to give him face.
Moreover, he had no right to negotiate with the Guardian Spirit the Bei Village; Qian Ye had to step in and negotiate with them.
Qian Ye looked at the Bei Woman and laughed, "Actually, you don't necessarily need to obtain the Old Suanni's corpse to break through; there are other ways."
"And do you think the corpse of the Old Suanni is so easy to obtain? You think you're more powerful than the lightning-struck willow tree in Stone Village in your Guardian Spirit? Then you're sorely mistaken."
In the original novel of Perfect World, the Bei Woman Guardian Spirit underestimated the strength of the willow Guardian Spirit, which led her to go to Stone Village to destroy it, thus bringing about her own demise.
In a fit of rage, the Willow Deity pierced through her with a willow branch and extracted her body into a drop of nutrient solution, which was then completely absorbed.
So, Qian Ye's visit to the Bei Village was ostensibly to teach the Bei Woman a lesson, but in reality, it was to save her life.
"What do you mean?" the Bei Woman asked.
Qian Ye looked at the old clan chief and said, "Clan chief, why don't you take Hu Niu outside and take a look? I have something to discuss with the Bei Woman."
"Okay, Xiao Ye." The old clan chief immediately stood up, pulled Hu Niu along, glanced at Shi Linhu, and walked towards the door.
Shi Linhu understood Qian Ye's meaning and followed behind, also leaving.
The Bei Woman knew that Qian Ye wanted to talk to her privately, and she was very touched. "Brother Ye, would you like to tell me?"
Qian Ye: "Actually, the Guardian Spirit of Stone Village descended from the sky. One night, an old willow tree, bathed in lightning, fell from the sky above Stone Village to the entrance of the Stone Village, took root in the ground, and thus became the new Guardian Spirit Stone Village."
"Originally, the Guardian Spirit of Stone Village was not this willow tree, but a giant rock. When the willow tree arrived, the stone Guardian Spirit abandoned its territory in Stone Village and left to find another place to settle."
Upon hearing this, the Bei Woman naturally understood some of the implications. "Brother Ye, so you mean she descended from the heavens, she's a god from above?"
Qian Ye immediately gave the Bei Woman a thumbs up. "See, you're a smart one. Since it fell from the sky, and was bathed in lightning, it means it suffered Heavenly Tribulation."
"Moreover, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and split it in two, yet it remained alive."
What does this tell us?
