Chapter 503 New System Quest, Dreamy Little Village
Chapter 503 New System Quest, Dreamy Little Village
Walking on the stone path in Xiaozhai, you can smell the fragrance of the pinkish-red herbs by the roadside. Even though they are everywhere, they don't make you feel cloying at all. Instead, they make you feel refreshed and relaxed. You feel like if you walk a few more steps, you will suddenly find yourself in a house made entirely of cream cakes and fruit.
"If it weren't for the demons, this place might be a wonderful vacation spot," Jiang Han said with some emotion.
"I've decided, if I have time in the future, I'll come here for vacation every year." Jiang Shaoxu stretched out her arms, her face full of intoxication as she inhaled the fragrance of herbs in the air.
"This place is truly beautiful, so pretty." Even the aloof Mu Ningxue praised this dreamlike little village.
Not long after the group entered the herb-covered village, a large fence appeared by the roadside. Inside the fence was a small thatched hut, and a woman covered in pendants looked at them with alluring eyes.
"Lost travelers, are you looking for lodging in this dreamy little village? Or do you have other plans?" The woman said, giving Jiang Han and the other boys a flirty wink. But after noticing the girls in the group, she said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you already had female companions."
Although the woman adorned with pendants smiled alluringly, Jiang Han genuinely had absolutely no interest in her. In fact, he felt a bit nauseous after noticing her winking at him. There was nothing he could do about it; he was genuinely allergic to dark skin, and he meant no disrespect to people with dark skin!
"She's flirting with you, don't you want to go and exchange some magical insights with her?" Jiang Shaoxu noticed Jiang Han's indifferent expression and walked over to him with a light laugh.
"I'm allergic to dark skin, but I'm still interested in exchanging magical insights with you. I just don't know if the beautiful Ms. Jiang would be willing," Jiang Han said, taking a step forward and speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, standing beside Jiang Shaoxu.
A blush instantly appeared on Jiang Shaoxu's pretty face. Although she seemed very open on the surface, she would become very reserved when it came to that.
While Jiang Han and Jiang Shaoxu were chatting, Zhao Manyan, that old lecher, had already started flirting with that woman. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed in getting his first taste of sex. He also brought bad news: no one was allowed to stay overnight here. If he really wanted to stay in Xiaozhai, he would have to wait until the festival was over.
"Ah, it's such a pity we can't stay here overnight." The girls were all a little disappointed; none of them had expected to encounter Xiaozhai's festival.
Although it was a bit of a pity, they didn't say they wanted to stay for a few more days after the holiday before leaving, mainly because Ai Jiangtu wouldn't agree even if they did.
After all, they are now representing the Chinese nation and are going to Venice to participate in the World University Competition. If they stop at every beautiful place they encounter along the way, what's the point of participating in the university competition?
In the end, everyone had to leave and rest in the town at the foot of the mountain. On the way, Zhao Manyan began to doubt himself, constantly muttering that he hadn't flirted with girls in a long time and that his flirting skills had declined.
"Hey, I'm quite interested in the festival at Dream Village. Why don't you guys go ahead and I'll sneak up and take a look? I'll meet you in town before dark." Jiang Han suddenly said when they were still some distance from the town.
"Old Jiang, you wouldn't be thinking of..." Mo Fan said with a mischievous grin.
"Get lost! Do you really think everyone's like you, with a head full of dirty thoughts?" Jiang Han said irritably.
"I'm not kidding anymore. Did you find out something? How about you help me out?" Mo Fan said with a smile.
"Me too, me too, I want to go too!" At this moment, Jiang Shaoxu also jumped out, determined to sneak up with Jiang Han and the others.
"Take one more with you. Trust me, I'll definitely be able to subdue that woman before dark," Zhao Manyan said with high spirits.
Ai Jiangtu simply told them to be careful and did not stop them from moving. He then led the others toward the town's defenses.
······
Jiang Han returned to the village mainly because his master had just issued a special mission: to rescue the villagers imprisoned by the Red Ornament Guild. The reward for the mission was 200,000 system points. Otherwise, Jiang Han would have been too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.
While Zhao Manyan went to flirt with girls, Jiang Han took the opportunity to sneak into the small village with Jiang Shaoxu and Mo Fan. Even the female mage guarding the entrance of the village did not notice that someone had slipped in.
As they climbed up the grassy slope covered with herbs, Jiang Han and his companions soon came to a densely packed village. There were also many mages patrolling the outskirts of the village, making it look like a fortified stronghold.
Along the way, Jiang Han and his companions encountered many guarded intersections, but most of them were guarded by men. They were talking about something, and their lewd laughter could be heard from afar.
"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful priest guarding this small village. Is there some kind of special sacrificial ceremony going on?" Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Keep watching," Jiang Han said softly.

Jiang Shaoxu stared intently at a type of herb near the small village, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "These look like Concubine Herbs."
