Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 271. Arriving in the Valley of Death

Huamei held his breath as the man stood right before him. His eyes squinted, not daring to look at it openly. She then glanced at Fang Yin, but she instead pretended to calm her baby down.

'Damn, here I should have hugged my baby to avoid this rogue man. But ... aarggh, Xiao Yin is indeed annoying!' huamei's nagging in heart.

The fat man sat on an empty chair at their table. His eyes did not turn to look at Huamei's face. However, his face looked flat with no expression that made him seem cold.

Huamei, who lost his ability to speak when he was nervous and shocked, only resigned as the man sat in front of him. Fang Yin smiled behind his veil. It seemed that the man liked Huamei.

"Sister, your baby wants to suckle. You better wear a cover so that no evil eye can see you," Fang Yin said, handing the baby over to Huamei. She felt sorry for seeing Huamei who was nervous about being approached by a man.

Huamei nodded quickly and took over the baby from Fang Yin's hands. He was very happy and proud of his status.

The man looked at Fang Yin and Huamei alternately. His heart was upset and felt deceived. He did not accept Fang Yin as if making a false status for him.

The man's hand pulled Fang Yin's hand and carried her out of the tavern. He wanted to make sure what he saw was true. The woman had a child and Fang Yin was still single.

Fang Yin deliberately complied without giving up resistance in order to protect the people around him. He waited for the right time to take action. His hands were already itching to beat up the man who did not know the manners

The man took her to the shop side yard and squeezed Fang Yin's body into a tree. Both his hands were tied on his head, as were his feet.

Huamei looked at her from a distance, as long as Fang Yin could still cope with the circumstances, then he would not need to do anything for her. If she was careless in acting, her baby would also be in danger.

"I want to see how beautiful your face is. You guys are like twins, must have very similar faces. You shouldn't have played me." The man spoke with a face position that was very close to Fang Yin.

"Your breath stinks! I'm not interested in you. Now let go of me and you better find another woman," Fang Yin said casually but grimly to the man.

The man clenched his hands then struck an empty spot on the side of Fang Yin's head. He was Qin An, the city thug who was extremely feared in the region. Fang Yin's words were an insult to him.

"Based on the devil! How dare you say this to me. I'll embarrass you in public." Qin An smiled smirked. His hand moved swiftly grabbing Fang Yin's face cover but to no avail. The cover of his face could not escape from his face as it had been locked with Qi.

Fang Yin's hands and feet came loose after he let out a fire that burned the rope that bound him. He flicked his finger then pressed it against Qin An's forehead and pushed it away.

"I'm not as weak as you think, Lord bastard! Not all women can be beaten. Surely the person you've forced will be happy to see me beating you to the brunt." Fang Yin snorted in annoyance at that shameless Qin An.

Qin An was undaunted by Fang Yin's remark and took it lightly. He laughed so hard that it echoed around him.

"Feel in confidence, Miss Arrogant! I must have paralyzed you in one fell swoop. Like it or not, I'm gonna keep you for fun." Qin An looked at Fang Yin with interest.

Seeing that, Fang Yin looked even more furious. That guy deserves to be beaten. His hands were already very itchy to beat Qin An.

Fang Yin attacked him with a melee attack and did not use much Qi. In this fight he chose to use his martial skills. There was a certain satisfaction when his hands could hit him directly in the face, as well as his feet which nimbly kicked and nudged him.

Any attack given by Fang Yin was inevitable. The extremely fast movement technique made Qin An difficult to dodge, he was also difficult to get a chance to reply to him.

'Shit! This woman is not easy to face. I'm dealing with the wrong guy. It was only fitting that his mouth was so spicy, apparently he did not speak nonsense.' Qin An's inner.

Qin An moved slightly away then took out a huge Qi from within his body. A terrifying aura enveloped his body and with a quick movement he attacked Fang Yin.

Fang Yin did not stay silent, he jumped into the air and pushed his palm to avenge Qin An's energy attack. An extremely loud explosion sounded as both of their energies clashed. The sound provoked the arrival of the visitors of the tavern and the surrounding residents to see the fight.

Many of them were delighted and prayed for Qin An's defeat. No one has been able to defeat him all this time. It made Qin An arbitrarily behave and unsettled the surrounding residents.

Failing once did not make Qin An give up. He again attacked Fang Yin by throwing two energies at once in both of his palms.

Fang Yin did not reply to his attack, but went round and locked onto Qin An's movements from behind. Qin An's attack hit an empty spot and his body fell forward when Fang Yin hit him at the energy locking point.

Qin An's body could not move. He could only wiggle around in a prone position.

"I want to teach you a lesson, Crocodile Land!" Fang Yin left it in the hot courtyard.

Other than being unable to move, Qin An was also unable to speak normally. Fang Yin really wanted to humiliate him in public for him to be deterred. Now he became a spectacle of citizens who still gathered around him.

Fang Yin patted his unwashed hands and left the courtyard where the fight was. He caught up with Huamei inside the tavern to eat. From there he could see some small children playing tricks on Qin An. A very pleasant sight for him that afternoon.

Huamei had ordered food for her as well and when she arrived, the food was already available at the table. The owner of the tavern gave them free food because it managed to cripple Qin An who every day blackmailed him.

The city government came to the place to pick up Qin An and imprison him. They always failed to catch him. They were very grateful to Fang Yin and invited him to come to the town hall. However, Fang Yin rejected it subtly because there was still other business. Finally they did not force and retract the invitation.

"You are so great, Xiao Yin. I can't see your cultivation realm, but I'm pretty sure that you're currently far above my level. Your every move is so organized and calculated. One word for you, "great" ...." Huamei gave his thumb.

"Oh, you eat fast! I don't feel comfortable being here." Fang Yin glanced around him. People looked at him while whispering. I don't know what they're saying, which obviously he doesn't like being the center of their attention.

Huamei understood, he himself did not like being a spectacle either. Familiarity with new people will make it difficult for them to hide their identity. They will keep asking about who and where they came from.

Fang Yin and Huamei left the place and paid no heed to the curious cries of those who wanted to get acquainted. It is better for them to be said to be arrogant than to have to get new problems after the previous problem is finished.

"Are we not going to stay in this town?" huamei asked carefully. He was afraid of offending Fang Yin.

"We'll see later. If we find a quiet and comfortable place, it's fine for us to stop by and spend the night here" Fang Yin replied without turning to Huamei.

They walked down the crowded city streets. The more in the middle of the city, the streets they meet are getting crowded. But the people who were there were not very friendly like in the suburbs that they stopped by a moment ago.

Fang Yin was tempted to buy fruit sold by the roadside. He stopped to buy it and enjoyed it while walking. Not to forget he also gave it to Huamei.

Their long journey takes them to a deserted suburb. It was almost dark so they decided to stop and find a place to stay.

"Huamei, this place is so quiet. There seems to be no lodging here. It's not good for your baby to be taken for a walk at night." Fang Yin looked at the slumbering baby Huamei with a warm feeling.

"I can sleep anywhere. Before meeting you, we also lived in the forest. You don't have to worry, my baby is a strong boy. Yeah, right, sweetie?" Huamei gently dipped her baby cheeks and made her squirm.

They saw an old grandmother walking towards a house. He looks tired carrying heavy firewood. Fang Yin ran to meet him and intended to help

"No need, sweet boy. Grandma could be alone. Grandma has no wages to pay you," he said, leaving Fang Yin stunned.

"I sincerely want to help you, Grandma. Don't misunderstand me. I don't want anything to repay my help," Fang Yin explained.

The old granny looked at Huamei who was walking behind Fang Yin while holding her baby.

"He's my brother, we're on our way to the Southern Continent, Grandma." Fang Yin took the initiative to explain before the granny asked him.

The old granny nodded then gave some of the wood she had brought to Fang Yin. They walk past the houses that look simpler than the houses in the city center.

They walked between the houses leading to a path. It turned out that the old grandmother lived in a house located behind the houses of the residents they had previously passed through.

She lives with her husband who is also old. The old man was lying on his bed when they came. A room without a partition with walls that began to porous, making Fang Yin's heart feel sliced.

The portrait of poverty was again a sight that sliced his heart. In the future he will ask the city government to pay attention to the lives of small people and the elderly. His desire to immediately retake his country was increasingly ignited like a fire that was always burning.

"Thank you, Son. Grandma can't give you anything. If you don't mind, you can stay here with your sister."

Feeling that it was already night and there was no other destination, Fang Yin accepted the offer happily. He and Huamei are staying there tonight.

The old grandmother kept some chickens behind their cottage. The old man helped his grandmother to catch a chicken. They want to cook the chicken for dinner.

"Sorry, Grandma. I'm not good at cooking. Usually I just roast it and sprinkle a little salt on it." Fang Yin spoke on the sidelines cooking it.

"It seems you're a wanderer. No wonder the wanderer can't cook." The old grandmother smiled.

"Grandmother's right. I can't stay and stay silent just to linger doing cooking activities. All my time is just practicing and practicing." Fang Yin did not want the grandmother to misunderstand him. It didn't matter if the old man knew that he was a cultivator.

Unlike Fang Yin, Huamei was actually very good at cooking. However, Fang Yin had already said that they were wanderers, so he only completed his role as a person who was not much different from him.

Their dinner is ready. They ate along with a simple menu that they cooked. The old grandfather did more activities around the house to garden and raise. His older age than his wife made him unable to do heavy activities.

That night, Fang Yin and Huamei stayed at their rickety cottage. Not very comfortable, but better than they live in the forest.

Early in the morning they said goodbye to continue their journey. Fang Yin gave the grandmother a number of gold coins to repair her house and buy her necessities. Her husband and grandmother were very grateful to her.

"Xiao Yin, it looks like you are very rich. You don't love giving so many gold coins to people you just know. You're too generous," Huamei said in an inexhaustible manner with what Fang Yin had done.

Fang Yin did not reply. He did not want Huamei to know more about him.

Huamei did not continue his question because he knew that Fang Yin did not like him. Little did he begin to know with the habits of his new best friend. He doesn't like someone scraping information about him.

Both journeys were pretty smooth. They began to enter the territory of the Southern Continent after traveling for almost a week. Fang Yin could actually get there faster than that, but he cared deeply for Huamei's baby and took her to rest a few times on the way.

Lonjie Mountain and Shuyin Mountain have been seen in the distance. They still needed another half a day to arrive at the Valley of Death. They were currently resting under a large tree to relax their tense muscles after walking.

"We're almost there, Huamei. What's your plan?" ask Fang Yin. He was currently sleeping with both arms in his arms while looking up at the sky.

"I don't know. I have not seen Xiao Peng for months. He still remembers me or I don't know. When the members of the Death Flute Sect picked her up, she did not turn her head to me one bit." Huamei looked down sad.

Fang Yin woke up then looked at Huamei fixedly. The mixed feelings made it difficult for him to compose words. At this time Huamei's feeling condition is in disarray. If not carefully speaking then he will make it worse.

"Maybe it was Xiao Peng's way of protecting you," Fang Yin said briefly.

After saying that, Fang Yin returned glaring far away to a place unattainable by the eyes.

"Maybe we'll have a lot of trouble after this. Your relationship is so complicated, but you have to be sure of the path you have chosen."

Huamei looked at Fang Yin with a doubtful look. His heart hesitated and only thought about death.

"If I survive in my clan then me and my son will die, as well as here, maybe I will die too. However, before I die, at least my son can see his father and vice versa. My heart will be at peace even though my journey of love will not be sweet." Huamei looked so resigned to the circumstances.

"We don't know if it's a bad ending or a sweet beginning" Fang Yin said, implying an uncertain situation.

Huamei looked at Fang Yin feelingly. At the moment when he was being slumped only Fang Yin gave him a hint of enlightenment. With his words, he could feel a speck of hope.

They walked back and ignored something that made them sad. Everything is uncertain. No matter how cruel a father is, he will not have the heart to hurt his son, he thought.

The atmosphere was still dimly lit when they reached the Valley of Death. Huamei and Fang Yin stood there thinking how to enter the region.

Their lives are very closed and it is difficult to get information about them. All this time they had only heard that the Death Flute Sect was extremely cruel and terrifying.

Sreett! Sreerett! Sreett!

Three arrows shot towards them and landed right under their feet.

If they wanted to, this arrow could have been pointed right at the body of the two. However, it seemed like they were only making this a warning.

Not long after the arrow appeared. Three people appeared before Fang Yin and Huamei. Their faces were not very clear as it was getting dark.

"Who are y'all? Don't you know if this is a forbidden territory? Without an invitation from us no one can enter, except to lay down his life for us." One of them spoke out loudly to warn Fang Yin and Huamei.

This time it was Huamei who came forward. He has business with this sect. Although Fang Yin also had affairs, but he did not reveal them directly. The mission is very secret and should not be known by anyone.

"My name is Huamei. I am the wife of one of the members of the Death Flute Sect. I didn't carry any bad intentions and just wanted to show this baby to his father. Until now I have not given him a name," said Huamei who looks brave. He could speak fluently even with a trembling tone.

The three men did not believe. They walked over and approached Huamei and the baby. The bloodline of this sect had special features known only to them, so no one could claim to be a descendant of the Yao Clan.

One of them extended his hand forward and touched the head of baby Huamei. A strange light appeared and enveloped the baby's body. The body of the person holding the baby's head was bounced back and pushed to several steps.

He held onto his chest and coughed like he was having a very serious internal wound. His two friends came up to him and channeled their energies to make him feel better.

"Are you okay?" ask one of his friends.

The one who touched the baby Huamei's head nodded.The force was like being sucked by the baby and made him lose most of his strength.

Baby Huamei was indeed a descendant of the Yao Clan. However, he had strength beyond the very terrifying limits. They couldn't even fight back when the boy sucked his energy.

"You can come with us but not with the woman. Only you and your baby are allowed to come along" the man said in a stern tone.

Huamei stared at Fang Yin with a feeling of sadness. He doesn't want to part with her.

Fang Yin nodded giving him support. He had to be patient and wait for an opportunity to enter the sect even if not now.

"I should take him too. She's my baby's babysitter. Only she was able to calm my baby when crying," Huamei lied.

The three bodyguards seemed to think, as commanded, that Huamei's baby was crying very loudly. His crying voice sounded very frightening. Huamei was just talking and reasoning, but the baby was completely unwilling to remain silent as she tried to calm him down.

Huamei brought the baby closer to Fang Yin who was still fixated. He did not want to be rash for the sake of getting what he wanted. The goal is getting closer, it takes patience to wait for the opportunity to come.

Huamei's baby was still crying so loudly that Fang Yin picked it up in his arms. The baby seemed to understand what his mother wanted. Instantly he instantly fell silent while inside Fang Yin's sling.

The three members of the Death Flute Sect were walking around Fang Yin. They were suspicious and thought that Fang Yin had magic. After making sure that no trace of energy came out of his body, they believed that the baby was calm because he was used to it

They finally decided to allow Fang Yin to enter with them.

'Smart kid. You know how to return the favor.' Fang Yin smiled happily then walked following Huamei and the three men across the dimensional portal.

It turned out that there was an invisible protector that restricted the region of the Valley of Death to the outside world. The two members of the Death Flute Sect standing at the side opened a path for Huamei and Fang Yin. After everything passed through that protector, both of them escorted them behind and one of them took the lead in front.

In front of them stood beautiful villas with lanterns scattered as lighting.

The person walking in front stopped his steps and gestured all of them to stop in front of a hall

"You guys wait here. Don't move a bit before I come! I'd like to go report your arrival." The man made a ring of fire around Fang Yin and Huamei before leaving.

Fang Yin and Huamei looked at each other. They did not understand why to lock the two in a circle of fire.
