"Let's go, let's see if we can find someone to ask where this place is?"
The two randomly chose a direction and rode their Chasing Wind Horses forward.
As a result, two hours later, Qin Yi was completely speechless.
This mountain range was too vast; two hours weren't enough to get through it.
Finally, after several hours of walking, they saw a small village.
At this time, it was dusk, and the sun dyed the earth golden. In the distance, smoke curled from the chimneys of the small village, and Qin Yi's stomach growled uncontrollably.
"Do you think the sun in the Primordial World is the same as the one on Earth?" Qin Yi suddenly asked curiously.
Yun Mengyao shook her head, "I don't know, it should be the same, right?"
Qin Yi chuckled, feeling a bit bored himself.
"Let's go to the village ahead and see if there's any food; I'm hungry," Qin Yi said, subconsciously touching his prickly beard on his chin and paused in surprise.
"What's wrong with you?" Yun Mengyao noticed something was off about Qin Yi's expression.
Qin Yi laughed, "Do you know how long it took us to get from Earth to the Primordial World?"
"It sounds like you know, but that passage didn't let us feel any passage of time."
"At least a week," Qin Yi said confidently.
Yun Mengyao was curious, "Are you just making this up? How do you know?"
Qin Yi stroked his chin, "Without a week, my beard wouldn't have grown this long."
Yun Mengyao: "..."
"Bored!"
Qin Yi smiled, and the two headed towards the village.
"Willow Tree Village."
At the village entrance stood a worn stone tablet with the words 'Willow Tree Village' carved on it.
Qin Yi raised his head to look into the village and laughed, "There isn't a single willow tree in this village; why call it Willow Tree Village?"
"Your focus is really strange. Who cares why it's called Willow Tree Village; let's find something to eat first, or we'll starve to death."
Just as the two entered the village, they saw a group of people running towards them from a distance. These people were dressed in rags, looking pale and thin, wielding makeshift weapons like sticks and forks.
They didn't come too close, stopping a few dozen meters away, nervously watching Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao.
"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, we're not bad people. We're just passing through, hungry, and hoping to get a bite to eat," Qin Yi said with a smile.
In the lead was a relatively robust middle-aged man, carrying a massive bow and arrow, angrily shouting, "You've taken all our food; without these blood ghosts, will you force us to death? Leave now, or we'll fight you."
Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao exchanged a glance.
"You really are unlucky; everywhere you go, people dislike you," Qin Yi said.
Qin Yi: "..."
Shouldn't that have been her line?
Qin Yi jumped down from the Chasing Wind Horse and walked towards them.
"You, you don't come over here; we're not afraid of you."
The man in the lead nervously bent his bow and drew an arrow, while the others tightened their grips on their sticks, anxiously watching Qin Yi approach.
"Fellow villagers, we're really just passing by. We just want to find something to eat, please don't misunderstand us; we're not bad people."
"You, you... don't come closer... if you do, I won't be polite."
The lead man, flustered, loosened his grip, and the over-one-meter-long sharp arrow shot directly toward Qin Yi.
Qin Yi raised his hand, easily catching the arrow.
The bow seemed to be homemade, lacking power. Moreover, the arrow was made from a tree branch, simply sharpened at one end. Even if Qin Yi stood still, this arrow wouldn't pierce him.
However, the dozens of people opposite were terrified.
The lead man, seeing Qin Yi look over, was so nervous that his legs were trembling, "I, I didn't mean it. If you want to blame someone, punish me. It has nothing to do with them, please spare them."
Qin Yi stepped forward, and the dozen or so people trembled violently. They seemed to want to run, but their legs were too weak.
Qin Yi walked up to the lead man, who was sweating profusely on his forehead, looking at Qin Yi in a panic. Qin Yi placed the arrow back into the man's makeshift quiver and smiled, "Fellow villager, you really misunderstood us. I'm new here, just passing through, and starving to find something to eat."
The people were stunned, dumbfoundedly staring at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi gave a brilliant smile to ease their tension.
"You're really not those military officers?"
Though Qin Yi didn't know what 'military officers' meant, he shook his head, "You've misunderstood, we're just passing by."
"Brother Zhuzi, look at his clothes, they're so weird."
Everyone curiously eyed Qin Yi's clothing; they'd never seen such attire before.
Yun Mengyao was fine, wearing the Immortal Feather Skirt. But Qin Yi was clad in the casual suit Xia Yanbing bought him, with leather shoes.
"He's wearing such strange clothes, he can't be a military officer."
"Judging by his outfit, he should be a mountain barbarian."
Qin Yi: "..."
Are you kidding me? I'm a barbarian? You guys look like primitives, and you're calling me a barbarian?
"Fellow villager, it's getting late. Can we get something to eat and maybe stay in the village for a night?" He mainly wanted to find out what this place was.
Zhuzi, the lead man, sighed, "You barbarians are pitiful, starting to flee famine already? If this keeps up, we'll be fleeing too. Come with us."
Yun Mengyao released the two Chasing Wind Horses and followed the villagers with Qin Yi into the village.
"Barbarian," Yun Mengyao teasingly looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, shrugging helplessly.
"Brother Zhuzi, how did this barbarian's woman look like a fairy?"
"Don't talk nonsense, just looking at her, you can tell she's not a barbarian. They must be traveling together."
Yun Mengyao boasted, "See, the eyes of the people are sharp, they know I'm not the same kind as you barbarian."
Qin Yi sneered, "That's because they're inexperienced. If you're considered a fairy, my wife would be a stunning celestial being."
"Bingbing is beautiful; in terms of looks, she and I are equally matched."
Qin Yi: "..."
This woman's face is getting thicker.
The two followed the villagers into the village, and Zhuzi led them to a small courtyard, "Wait here; I'll go inform the Village Chief."
In this small village, the Village Chief was the most influential.
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
Zhuzi quickly returned with an elderly man whose hair and beard were white, but his spirit was quite good.
Qi Cultivation Middle Stage.
Qin Yi instantly saw through the old man's cultivation. This level of cultivation was negligible to him, but it was the only Qi Refiner he'd seen in the village so far.
The Village Chief looked intently at Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao.
"Where do you come from?"
Qin Yi instinctively said, "Earth."
He regretted it immediately; how could this old man know what Earth was?
Yun Mengyao disdainfully looked at Qin Yi, as if gazing at an idiot.
