225: Chapter 225: Testing the Gods (Part 1)

"Hmm..." With a murmur, Qian Ye opened her eyes and frowned tightly.

Her nose twitched, and her brow furrowed even deeper.

A thick, suffocating stench of blood filled her entire nasal cavity.

What happened?

Qian Ye opened her eyes with questions in mind. The first thing she saw was the sky—not a clear blue, but filled with dust; the air was murky.

She propped herself up and looked around. There were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

"No wonder the smell of blood is so heavy."

Qian Ye stood up and looked at her skirt, which was stained with blood.

"Ugh, how annoying." Time to change clothes again.

Just as she prepared to change, she looked at the dead people. They were all wearing coarse cloth garments, and some seemed to be wearing armor.

"Sigh, I might as well do as the locals do."

"After all, this is the real world."

Yes, the moment Qian Ye woke up, she confirmed that she was in the real world, not the game world.

"Sigh, what a pity for my romance game."

"It was so hard to finally settle down and retire."

"They just had to make trouble."

Qian Ye muttered to herself as she changed into clothes appropriate for this era.

"Ah, ah, ah, Master, Master, we really came out!"

"Where is Ling Ling? Where is Ling Ling?"

"He was most worried about her; it was so hard to find her back!"

Qian Ye rolled her eyes.

What a guy, forgetting righteousness for beauty.

The first thing he did upon coming out was not even caring about his own Master.

Hmph.

A cold snort was the response to Xiao Hua.

"Is, is this the outside world?"

Ling Ling poked her head out from Qian Ye's chest, looking around cautiously.

Seeing the fallen corpses everywhere and the stench of blood filling her nose, the anticipation in Ling Ling's eyes slowly turned into horror and disappointment.

"Is, is this the real world?"

Tears welled up in Ling Ling's eyes. This, this was not the world she had imagined.

Why?

Why was it still a wasteland after coming out? Why were there still corpses everywhere?

Ling Ling hid in Qian Ye's embrace, unwilling to open her eyes again.

"Master, Master, let me out quickly."

Seeing Ling Ling in this state, Xiao Hua felt terrible for her.

Qian Ye shrugged. "What a pity, there's nothing here that can be used as a flower pot."

...

If one ignored her gloating attitude, Xiao Hua would have believed her.

Unable to come out, being anxious was useless. Knowing that Master would not ignore Ling Ling, Xiao Hua didn't say anything more.

Without a physical body, relying entirely on spiritual communication consumed a lot of his energy.

After speaking for only a while, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Qian Ye patted Ling Ling to comfort her. "Don't worry, the world you see is not the real world."

Ling Ling looked at Qian Ye ignorantly. But, but she perceived that it was the real world.

She didn't understand why Xiao Ye would say that.

"You'll know later."

Qian Ye pinched her little face, tucked her back into her chest, and tidied up, preparing to leave.

There was the sound of hooves and carriage wheels.

"My Lord, look, there is actually a survivor here!"

Qian Ye followed the sound and saw a carriage stopped at the bottom of the slope.

The carriage was surrounded by people. Although they wore everyday clothes, their aura suggested they had been trained.

The leader was dressed in black. He didn't lower his voice, so Qian Ye heard him clearly.

What?

Surprised to see a person?

Aren't you all people too?

Qian Ye stood still, staring at the carriage.

Seeing the man's reporting gesture, it was clear that the leader was inside the carriage.

"Oh, rare. My Lord must take a good look."

It was a young voice speaking.

The tone was light and mocking.

One would think he had discovered something fun.

Upon seeing Qian Ye, "Ah, it's actually a little girl."

Qian Ye clearly saw the man's eyes light up.

"Then... that's perfect. The brothers in the military camp are lacking some fun, and this just happens to be delivered to our doorstep."

The gaze directed at Qian Ye was filled with pity and excitement.

Once his words were spoken, the gazes of the other men looking at Qian Ye all carried a certain lewdness.

Qian Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

A smile played on the corners of her lips.

"Hee hee, I also want to find some fun."

"You appeared just at the right time."

Qian Ye's left hand moved slightly, and countless red threads appeared in her hand, slowly condensing into the shape of an umbrella.

The entire umbrella radiated a faint red light.

At this moment, she looked at the people at the bottom of the slope, her whole body exuding a dangerous aura.

An incense stick of time later...

The bottom of the slope also emitted a thick stench of blood.

One by one, they fell to the ground, clutching their abdomens, wailing incessantly.

Blood flowed all over the ground.

On the carriage, Qian Ye sat casually, one foot hanging in mid-air, the other stepping on the board.

She looked at the men on the ground with an innocent face.

"Wow, is it fun?"

"Hee hee, I think it's quite fun."

Her eyes were fixed on the umbrella in her hand. Not happy; the hong ling umbrella was still easier to use.

Unfortunately, after leaving the game, it disappeared.

This manifested umbrella was still not easy to use.

Look, she hadn't controlled her strength well, and so much blood had flowed out.

"Umm, does it hurt?"

"No, no, it doesn't hurt..."

The man below gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and shook his head.

He thought it was a little lamb, but didn't expect it to be a wolf.

"Who, who exactly are you?"

Nangong Yan clutched his abdomen; even using techniques could not make it recover.

Who exactly was this little girl in front of him?

Could it be someone sent by the enemy?

"Who I am is not important. What's important is who you are!"

"And what dynasty is this now?"

"What is happening now?"

"You all better explain it carefully."

The next second, a miniature little red umbrella appeared in front of each person, glowing with a faint red light, which was heart-stopping.

"Speak, I will say everything."

Nangong Yan was the first to open his mouth. He could not die here; everything he wanted to achieve had not yet been realized.

...

Oh, Sheng Dynasty.

However, it was no longer the Sheng Dynasty now. The Sheng Dynasty's territory was divided into three: Shendu, Ye Kingdom, and Sheng City.

Disasters struck, the Sheng Capital had a great drought for three years, with no harvest. People rumored that the Sheng Emperor's virtue was lost, leading to natural disasters.

Later, uprisings occurred, and now there was a tripartite confrontation.

Constant conflicts.

The people were destitute.

On the road, there were corpses everywhere.

Dust was flying.

A desolate scene.

"Natural disasters?"

Qian Ye looked at the sky. Yellow dust filled the sky, and she couldn't see the color above.

"Since you are fighting a war, let's go. Take me to your military camp."

"This..."

Nangong Yan gritted his teeth. He didn't know who she was. If he took her back like this, then...

He looked at the current state again. It seemed that if he didn't take her, he would be meeting the King of Hell right now.

At the Ye Kingdom military camp,

"General Nan, what happened to you all?"

"Your Highness!"

Just as they entered the camp, soldiers saw their own people, all pale, clutching their abdomens.

As they approached, there was a pungent smell of blood.

Looking closely, the one driving the carriage was actually their own Highness.

The person who came turned pale.

"Your Highness!"

"General Nan!"

"You guys... did you encounter the enemy?"

The leader looked back at his Highness, then nodded and shook his head, smiling bitterly.

???

What exactly happened?

"Hmm, I don't know if you encountered the enemy, but you encountered me."

A sweet voice came from inside the carriage, followed by a petite figure.
