The Crying Deer Clan
The little deer girl's eyes were wary as she cautiously approached the half-finished wooden house that Sang Ying had built.
She subtly exerted force with her two hind legs, as if she were ready to flee at the first sign of danger.
Sang Ying looked the other person up and down several times before finally confirming that he was a Beastmen.
So, will the dead cultivators and Beastmen eventually come to the same world? But cultivators clearly don't have an afterlife.
Or perhaps, this isn't the afterlife at all, but another world beneath the sea of fire?
With this question in mind, Sang Ying silently jumped down from the tree. She had just said "Hello..." to the little deer girl.
Before she could even finish a proper greeting, the little deer girl's eyes widened in fright, and she leaped into the nearby bushes, disappearing from sight in no time.
Sang Ying hadn't expected the little girl to run off without saying a word, but she didn't intend to chase after her.
Anyway, the other party knows her location, and if they want to come, they will see her again. Her most urgent task now is to build herself a house.
The wooden house is only half-built, and Sang Ying currently sleeps in the trees.
Although her Spiritual Power had not fully recovered, she still possessed the aura of a high-level cultivator. When she released her aura, even the fierce wild beasts in the forest dared not approach her.
They naturally regarded the Sang Ying as some more dangerous animal and dared not provoke her in the slightest.
After staying here for a while, Sang Ying's Spiritual Qi slowly recovered. She discovered that Spiritual Qi still existed in this world, but it was extremely thin, making it harder than climbing to heaven to Spiritual Qi with it.
Therefore, it is estimated that there are no cultivators in this world, and there are no Demon Race or Demon Beast either.
Having confirmed that there was no great danger here, Sang Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief. This meant she could live here for the time being, and once she had accumulated enough Spiritual Power, she could think about returning to the Cultivation World.
Another month passed, Sang Ying's house was finally almost finished. She would probably be living here for a long time in the future, so Sang Ying made sure the house was sturdy and comfortable.
The wooden house was built high up, with the empty ground floor used to store firewood and miscellaneous items, while the upper floors were used for living.
She used the wooden ladder she built to go up and down the stairs. If she didn't go out on weekdays, Sang Ying could also put the ladder away so that no one else could climb up.
On the very day the wooden house was completed, the little deer girl appeared once again.
She was much bolder this time. When she saw that Sang Ying had noticed her, she didn't run away. Instead, she looked at her a few more times.
Sang Ying was curious and silently took two steps forward, wanting to talk to the little Beastmen, but before she could speak, the beastman ran away again as if it had been frightened.
This time, Sang Ying still didn't chase after him; she had no intention of disrupting his peaceful life.
Now that the cabin is built, the next step is to furnish it.
Sang Ying knew no one here. She had left Sword Qi Gu Shu at the Flowing Light Sword Sect, where he cultivated in seclusion at the spirit mine in the back mountain. Although she had taken the Heart Devil Mirror back from Gu Huaiwei, she believed she was going to her death, so she disregarded the mirror spirit's resistance and buried it somewhere random.
This has left her with no one to talk to in this world, so Sang Ying can only make things to pass the time when she suddenly has free time.
In her spare time, she would think about how her relatives and friends in the Cultivation World were doing now, and whether they were all living peaceful and stable lives.
And then there's Jiang Zhuoxue. He became a true demon in his quest for power. Will the Dragon Race and cultivators still accept him in the future?
But Sang Ying only thought about it, after all, they were no longer in the same world.
The day the table was finished, the little deer girl came again.
This time, Sang Ying didn't take the initiative to greet her, but waited for the little deer girl to come closer on her own. Back in the Cultivation World, she had specially learned to cook in order to take care of Jiang Zhuoxue at the beginning, so she knew a lot of edible things.
Although these things lost their Spiritual Qi when they arrived in this world, they were still edible, and I picked quite a few Sang Ying.
As the little deer girl drew closer, Sang Ying looked up and asked her, "Do you want some fruit?"
On the small table beside her was a plate of fruit, which looked bright red, just like sparkling Fire Element Spirit Stone.
The little deer tilted her head and slowly approached the fence that Sang Ying had just built.
She seemed to sense that Sang Ying meant no harm, so when Sang Ying handed her the plate, she reached out and grabbed a few pieces, stuffing them into her mouth.
I do Sang Ying know the name of this fruit, but it tastes very sweet. The little deer girl liked it the first time she tasted it. Her round eyes curved into crescents, making her look extremely cute.
"What's your name?" Sang Ying asked curiously.
The little deer girl remained silent for a long time before uttering a single word. "Moon."
"You, are you human?" She seemed to be unfamiliar with the language Sang Ying used, so she even spoke in short bursts.
Sang Ying was surprised. "You can't speak my words? Who taught you to say these things?"
The little girl named Yue frowned, looking slightly conflicted. She moved slightly, and after much effort, managed to utter, "Teacher, teacher learned... people, you, people."
In other words, was the teacher who taught her someone like her?
Sang Ying composed herself, a different guess forming in her mind, and continued to ask, "Could you please take me to see your teacher? I'm new here, and I'd like to know if there are any people in this world who came from the same place as me?"
The moon did not answer, and just then, a strange cry suddenly came from the woods.
As if she had heard something, Yue immediately turned and left without even saying goodbye to Sang Ying.
She moved very quickly and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
She hadn't gone far when a Beastmen looked much more mature than Yue appeared before her.
The other person was also half-human and half-deer, but wore a tribal emblem on their chest. Their features resembled the moon, like an enlarged version of it.
The moment she opened her mouth, she uttered a series of strange tones that Sang Ying certainly couldn't understand, but to Yue's ears, they sounded like a string of familiar words:
"Why are you so disobedient, always running off? Don't you know how dangerous the forest is? If you leave the gathering team and run off again, I won't bring you out with me anymore," the tall female Beastmen said angrily.
Yue immediately rushed over. "Mother, don't be angry! I met someone here! She even gave me some fruit..."
Before Yue could finish speaking, the female Beastmen's expression changed drastically. She quickly scooped her daughter into her arms and hurriedly fled the forest with her.
She didn't even notice when the fruit in Yue's hand fell to the ground.
