Xiao Wu was confused.

She had never heard of any Nine-Leaf Sword Grass clan.

If this truly were the territory of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass clan, then all these people should be transformed spirit beasts.

However, could a single clan really be so heaven-defying?

Looking around, there were dozens of them!

Moreover, this village was not small; it likely housed at least several hundred people.

All of them were transformed spirit beasts?

Impossible!

That meant she had misunderstood earlier!

This was not the territory of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass clan; it was just a human village.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu suddenly felt that she was in quite a dangerous spot.

She wanted to slip away.

But seeing how enthusiastic the people surrounding them were, she actually felt a tiny bit of anticipation in her heart.

"Uncle Lu, where is Grandpa Village Chief?"

After dealing with the surrounding villagers, Lin Ye finally had a chance to slip away.

"The village chief? He's at home. You go over... hey, why the rush? Are you coming to my place for dinner tonight?"

"Thanks, Uncle Lu, but I'll be eating at Grandpa Village Chief's place tonight."

Lin Ye had already pulled Xiao Wu away.

"Lin Ye, aren't the people of Heavenly Sword Village a bit too enthusiastic?"

Xiao Wu walked out with a heavy heart, sweat already beginning to bead on her forehead.

She really couldn't handle such enthusiastic villagers.

"You'll get used to it. Let's go to the village chief's house first."

Lin Ye was used to it; the atmosphere in Heavenly Sword Village had always been excellent.

It was said that Heavenly Sword Village had been passed down for over ten thousand years.

Over those ten thousand years, the number of clansmen had finally reached the current few hundred.

They had lived here for generations, so their relationships were all quite good.

Additionally, there was another reason: reproduction in Heavenly Sword Village was quite difficult.

In this generation, there were only seven people of his age.

For such a large village, the number of children was very, very scarce.

Therefore, everyone placed great importance on the village's children.

If any human traffickers were to come here, they might as well find a place to bury themselves.

The village chief's house was located near the back mountain of the village—a two-story courtyard with a picket fence outside, the overall environment quite elegant.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm back."

Lin Ye opened the door with practiced ease and led Xiao Wu inside.

"Little Ye is back?"

The village chief, who was watering flowers, turned around, his face full of smiles when he saw Lin Ye.

When he saw Xiao Wu, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

But he didn't say anything more.

"Back for the holidays? Are you staying at home or?"

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief. This is Xiao Wu, my classmate."

"Hello, Grandpa Village Chief. My name is Xiao Wu, 'Wu' as in dance."

Xiao Wu was very polite at this moment, quickly bowing to show respect.

The village chief laughed heartily. "So it's a classmate, good, good, good. Are you here for a vacation with Little Ye? Then stay."

"You two wait a moment, I'll go cook; it'll be ready soon."

"Thank you."

Xiao Wu smiled brightly; the village's atmosphere really did seem quite nice.

Since it was decided that Xiao Wu would stay, Luo Feng could only arrange a room for her.

Fortunately, the village chief's house was not small and had several rooms.

It could be ready after a little bit of tidying up.

"Xiao Wu, you can sleep in this room."

After tidying up, Lin Ye brushed the dust off his hands.

"You have to call me Sister Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu glared at him.

Had he stopped calling her Sister Xiao Wu ever since they arrived at the village?

Did he think he could act all arrogant just because this was his village?

The corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched; this girl really didn't stand on ceremony!

Sister Xiao Wu? Wait until you can beat me before you talk.

One slap, and I'll make you kneel and call me big brother!

Xiao Wu: "..."

This stinky guy, how dare he talk back to her in his head?

Call him big brother?

Impossible, that would never happen in this lifetime!

She, Sister Xiao Wu, was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast in human form; what was a little brat like him compared to her?

Besides, a guy who only dared to talk back in his head was such a coward!

"Lin Ye, take me around the village?"

Xiao Wu was never one to sit still.

Now that they were settled, she wanted to wander around.

Heavenly Sword Village looked very mysterious.

The environment here was excellent, truly a paradise away from the world.

Moreover, almost everyone in the village was a soul master.

With so many soul masters, it was on the scale of a medium-to-large soul master faction.

"Fine, let's go for a stroll then."

Lin Ye didn't mind; it was rare for him to return to the village, so going out to mingle was fine.

He took Xiao Wu and headed out. The village paths were quite wide, with grassy fields on both sides.

To the left was a peach blossom grove, and to the right was a lake and a waterfall.

The village's environment left Xiao Wu dazzled, feeling almost lost in its beauty.

She even thought that if she ever got bored of the human world, coming here to retire wouldn't be bad at all!

"That over there is the Heavenly Sword Waterfall; it's said to have been carved out by a predecessor from the village."

"A carved-out waterfall?"

Xiao Wu was stunned. The scale of the waterfall was not small, spanning a full hundred meters in width.

"Yes, it was originally split open with a single sword strike."

"And that over there is the Heavenly Sword Altar, where the villagers practice the way of the sword."

Lin Ye acted as a tour guide, introducing the general situation.

Listening to Lin Ye's introduction, Xiao Wu was truly shocked.

Heavenly Sword Village was truly mysterious and terrifying.

The strength of the villagers didn't seem low at all!

Every single one of them had awakened a sword-type martial soul, and they were basically all power-attack types.

As they walked, the two returned to the village chief's house.

"I'll take you to the back mountain tomorrow; the environment there is also quite nice."

Lin Ye yawned; it was already dusk.

"You're back? Come over and eat."

The village chief's voice rang out, and as they turned, they saw him walking out of the kitchen.

On the stone table in the courtyard, five or six dishes were already laid out.

The two washed their hands and sat down, and Lin Ye conscientiously served the rice.

"Grandpa Village Chief, may I ask you something?"

Xiao Wu's curiosity about the village hadn't ended yet.

She really wanted to understand what kind of village this actually was.

"Oh? Go ahead and ask."

The village chief stroked his gray beard, his face full of smiles.

"Is everyone in the village a soul master? Are there any incredibly powerful soul masters?"

The village chief was clearly taken aback by such a question.

After recovering, he burst into laughter.

"So that's what you wanted to ask about. Everyone in Heavenly Sword Village is indeed a spirit master, and most have decent cultivation."

"There are indeed some experts, but they rarely leave the village."

They didn't leave the village?

Xiao Wu pondered this, and suddenly, it clicked.

The spirit master strength in Heavenly Sword Village could be considered passable, but there was nothing truly formidable among them.

If there were any at the Spirit Douluo level, they would have likely seen through her identity long ago.

The reason the village chief claimed there were experts was likely tied to the fact that they rarely ventured out.

Without seeing the outside world, they naturally couldn't fathom how terrifying the powerhouses out there truly were.

Having figured this out, she felt a secret sense of joy.

It seemed that living here would be quite safe.

"Child, eat more."

The village chief placed two plates of food in front of Xiao Wu.

"How did Grandpa Village Chief know I like vegetables?"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up; the dishes were a feast for the senses!

"Generally, cute little rabbits like to eat vegetables, don't they?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu jerked her head up.
