Ta Lo Village, a village said to have sealed away the Soul Eater for four thousand years, possesses superpowers and is home to dozens of ancient creatures that exist only in legends.
Nine-tailed fox, Dijiang, Qilin, Suanni and other mythical beasts that Qin Xiao had only seen in the Classic of Mountains and Seas before, and even a divine dragon, but in this universe, the so-called divine dragon was not a creature from China mythology, but a creature from another dimension.
Leaving aside the origins of the divine dragon and the Soul Beast, Qin Xiao was quite curious about this Ta Lo Village.
Because Ta Lo Village doesn't exist in this universe, but rather is a space carved out directly within the universe, existing as a separate space, and entering it requires a specific path and time.
Moreover, because he was enveloped by special energy, Qin Xiao could not fully understand what had happened in the village. He could only understand some vague information through the connection with the origin of the universe. Unlike beings that exist in outer space, Qin Xiao could know what happened in their past and what every possible future was like with just one glance.
However, Qin Xiao only had a general understanding of Ta Lo Village's past; he was far from having a complete grasp of it.
Space that exists independently of the universe is both shielded from the universe's control and yet inevitably dependent on the universe's primordial energy and matter.
Although Qin Xiao lacked knowledge about Ta Lo Village, it didn't prevent him from finding it. While entering Ta Lo Village required specific time and routes, this was not an issue for Qin Xiao.
I've explained the issue of parallel universes to everyone. Anyway, the existing entrances are enough for Qin Xiao to mess around with and obtain the power of origin. Let's solve the internal problems first.
In Ta Lo Village, Qin Xiao appeared with the Scarlet Witch.
As for why he only brought her along, it's because although Qin Xiao hasn't devoured Scarlet Witch yet, given her dependence on him, this woman will eventually be his prey. Leaving her at the Qin Xiao Avengers Compound always left Natasha with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
In comparison, Quicksilver integrated into the Avengers community much faster.
Whether it was fate or not, at least she and Hawkeye had already started calling each other brothers. But Scarlet Witch was, after all, a woman. The twins' upbringing had given them some social anxiety, and it was obvious to everyone that the two would become family sooner or later. Who would risk offending Qin Xiao or Natasha for no reason?
Moreover, with Vision, the so-called true love, no longer around, Scarlet Witch appears exceptionally lonely within the Avengers.
" Wanda, you can actually take the initiative to make some friends. If you don't like staying in the base, I can let you go out, go to school or work, and have your own life."
Qin Xiao actually hoped that Scarlet Witch could have her own life. Anyway, because of the Infinity Stones, Scarlet Witch was firmly locked to his side, so he wasn't afraid that she would run off with someone else.
I have little interest in the outside world; it's good to be by your side!
The Scarlet Witch looked at Qin Xiao with adoration in her eyes and said...
"Fine! Whatever makes you happy!"
Qin Xiao sighed. Even now that he had become the ruler of the universe, he still felt uneasy about having another woman in his life. He didn't know how to explain it to Natasha, even though the two of them hadn't had any physical relationship yet.
"Forget it, we'll deal with the future later. We've become the rulers of the universe, what can't we solve!"
Qin Xiao silently cheered himself up and began to observe the beautiful little village in front of him.
"With mountains and water, beautiful scenery, and a spring-like climate all year round, it's like a paradise. Wanda, what do you think about making this our base?"
Qin Xiao lifted his leg and walked into the village, commenting on Wanda's behavior as he did so.
"This place is great, I like it!"
Wanda nodded, watching curiously as a large white nine-tailed fox with several cubs stared warily at the two of them from the roadside.
Since they are divine beasts, their intelligence is naturally much higher than that of ordinary Beast. Qin Xiao could tell that these so-called divine beasts were beings with intelligence equivalent to that of ordinary humans.
After walking a few hundred meters further, another magnificent-looking blue Qilin appeared by the roadside.
Unlike the nine-tailed fox, the Qilin is an auspicious mythical beast in China legend. For every China person, seeing a Qilin for the first time, even in another world, is a source of excitement.
Qin Xiao was about to go up and greet the large creature that looked like a water unicorn, and maybe even reach out to pet it.
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from beside me.
"If I were you, I would take my hand back. Ta Lo people don't welcome outsiders, and neither do the animals in the Ta Lo!"
The voice came from a woman, a middle-aged woman who looked very familiar.
The face looked familiar because Qin Xiao recognized it— Michelle Yeoh, a famous action star from his past life!
"I didn't expect Marvel to have cast so many China stars!"
Qin Xiao muttered something in a voice only he could hear, then looked up at the person in front of him, ' Michelle Yeoh, ' and asked calmly.
What did you just say? Say it again?
"I said, you'd better take your hand back. This is the last time I'm warning you..."
"Smack!"
A crisp sound interrupted Michelle Yeoh's words.
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Xiao slapped the familiar face mercilessly across the cheek.
Of course, "without holding back" means that Qin Xiao slapped him directly, not that he held back. If Qin Xiao had used his full strength, that slap would have not only killed him, but could have turned him into mincemeat.
"As China person, why do you speak English first when you see your compatriots with black hair and yellow skin? Is English your mother tongue?"
Without any visible movement from Qin Xiao, he took a step forward, directly traversing space to arrive beside ' Michelle Yeoh,' who had been sent flying seven or eight meters, and asked from above.
It's not that Qin Xiao is unreasonable. Although there is no racial discrimination in this world, the large-scale hatred between countries is completely different from that in the real world.
However, when faced with this familiar face who spoke in English, Qin Xiao was still somewhat annoyed. He remembered watching a movie when he was a child, " The Mummy Returns 3," in which Michelle Yeoh swore an oath to be a tomb guardian to prevent Qin Shi Huang from waking up. She guarded the imperial tomb for thousands of years, just to prevent the tyrannical Qin Shi Huang from waking up.
However, when Qin Xiao saw that character chanting the spell, he was actually using English. He was quite angry at the time. He liked many United States movies, but when it came to China, these United States always insisted on making them according to their own understanding, which made Qin Xiao very unhappy.
Unexpectedly, the first thing he heard upon meeting was English, so without thinking, Qin Xiao slapped him across the face.
Qin Xiao didn't think much of it, but Michelle Yeoh was completely stunned. She had only come up to the two of them because one of them was a foreigner, so she used the common Western language. She didn't expect that this would lead to a fight.
The key point is that this man just took a step with this movement technique, ignoring distance. For her, who had only left the village decades ago and had no idea what recent events had happened in the world, she had no idea what kind of magic Qin Xiao was using.
He simply turned and shouted loudly into the village, "Enemy attack! Enemies have broken in!"
Qin Xiao smiled. His China was quite standard, without the artificial accent of regional stars or overseas Chinese in movies.
That's more like it!
