Chapter 1094
Luohua Village
Her actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the cave.
Even Mo Fan, who was healing his injuries, couldn't help but look up.
This mysterious and beautiful girl in purple had just displayed considerable strength in the battle; her shadow magic was incredibly powerful and sophisticated.
If she had had enough time to condense her magic, she might have even had a chance to kill the axe-wielding corpse general single-handedly.
Asha Ruya stopped about three steps away from Fu Ye.
This is a distance that is neither offensive nor does it allow for clear conversation.
She bowed slightly, performing a gesture reminiscent of ancient Chinese etiquette, her voice soft and melodious, carrying a unique exotic accent.
"Sir, I apologize for disturbing you. I am Ye Meng'e. I have come to express my gratitude because I was rescued from the siege by the strong men under your command."
She spoke very politely and adopted a humble posture, but the curiosity that flickered in her purple eyes was unmistakable.
Fu Ye raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Asha Ruya.
He certainly knew Ye Meng'e's true identity: a candidate for goddess of Parthenon, a descendant of fallen angels, and a top-tier intelligence broker. However, he didn't care.
"Miss Ye, you're too kind."
Fu Ye's tone remained calm.
Asha's eyes flickered slightly; Fu Ye's attitude was quite intriguing.
She smiled radiantly, and even through the veil, one could feel her breathtaking charm.
"Sir, you are indeed a man of few words. However, I am very curious. With your status and strength, why would you personally come to such a treacherous place as the ancient capital?"
She asked directly, her purple eyes fixed on Fu Ye, trying to catch a glimpse of any change in his expression.
The cave became even quieter, and everyone pricked up their ears.
This was also the question in their minds. The appearance of someone like Fu Ye here was anything but ordinary.
Fu Ye glanced at her, a faint smile playing on his lips, or perhaps none at all.
"No matter what, the ancient capital is where Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the earth element, was about to die. Now that a thousand years have passed, I naturally want to see this thousand-year-old ruler who is about to become a ghost."
A millennium-old ruler? Soon to become a ghost? The progenitor of earth magic? Asha's heart stirred.
"I see."
Asha'ruya nodded, as if accepting this explanation.
Then, changing the subject, her gaze seemingly casually swept over Liu Ru and Liu Xian, who were standing quietly behind Fu Ye, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"These two young ladies beside you, sir, are truly astonishing. The young lady who just made a move... I've traveled far and wide and seen many powerful individuals, but such sharp and pure power is truly rare. May I ask how you two ladies are addressed?"
Liu Ru and Liu Xian remained silent as if they hadn't heard anything, their eyes not even flickering.
Fu Ye tapped his fingers lightly on his knee, looking at Asha Ruya with a more casual tone.
"Miss Ye seems quite interested in other people's private affairs?"
Asha's heart skipped a beat, realizing that her probing had crossed a line.
But she didn't panic. Instead, she chuckled softly, a sly glint in her purple eyes.
"Please forgive me, sir. I am truly a woman of limited experience. Upon first seeing such a handsome man, I was filled with admiration and couldn't help but ask a few more questions. If there was anything inappropriate, please forgive me."
"It's alright."
Fu Ye seemed unconcerned and said indifferently.
"They are just my maids who have learned some methods to strengthen their bodies."
Methods to improve physical health?
What is the "method" that allows one to tear apart a giant corpse general with bare hands?
Many people inside the cave had twitching lips, speechless.
This explanation is as good as saying nothing, yet it's impossible to refute.
Asha Ruya chuckled inwardly; this Fu Ye was truly impeccable.
She stopped asking about Liu Ru and Liu Xian's background and instead said...
"Sir, your strength is unfathomable, and you have such a powerful ally by your side. This trip to the ancient capital and the chaos of the undead seem to have other hidden stories behind it. The mysterious disappearance of Yangyang Village is even more bizarre. I wonder what your opinion is on this? Is it safe for us to travel to Luohua Village?"
She steered the conversation back to the current matter at hand, her attitude sincere, as if she genuinely wanted to ask for advice.
Fu Ye glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I don't know. Perhaps Luohua Village has also fallen, but I can sense that the person I'm looking for is still alive."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"Does the gentleman mean that something might have happened in Luohua Village as well?"
The leading mage couldn't help but interrupt, his face grim.
"I don't know, you'll see the specifics when you get there."
Fu Ye spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, He Yu's face flushed slightly.
For some reason, when she heard Fu Ye say that Zhang Xiaohou was still alive, she couldn't help but believe what he said.
Mo Fan's brows relaxed as well.
A glint of light flashed deep within Asha's purple eyes.
"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Asha'ruya pressed on, lowering her stance even further, completely adopting the manner of seeking advice from a senior.
Fu Ye did not answer directly, but closed his eyes again, as if he was tired.
"Let's rest. We'll continue our journey at daybreak."
He only said those six words, and then fell silent.
Asaria knew she wouldn't get any more information from him, so she politely bowed again.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will not disturb you any longer."
After speaking, she gracefully turned around and returned to her seat.
But after she sat down, a flickering light appeared in her lowered eyes.
Silence returned to the cave, but the atmosphere became even more somber.
Mo Fan glanced at Fu Ye, who was resting with his eyes closed, and then at He Yu beside him. He gritted his teeth and accelerated the circulation of his magical energy.
We must restore our strength as soon as possible!
He Yu hugged her knees, buried her face in her arms, and shrugged her shoulders slightly.
Although Fu Ye said that Zhang Xiaohou was not dead, she was still worried about him.
The rain is getting heavier.
Outside the cave, the sky gradually turned white.
The location of Luohua Village.
The situation here is not peaceful either.
"Something terrible has happened! Village chief! Something terrible has happened!!"
A terrified scream came from the direction of the village entrance, followed by chaotic running sounds and screams!
"Undead! Undead have broken in! Old Liu, who was guarding the entrance, has been killed by it!!!"
what? !
The expressions of everyone inside and outside the house changed drastically!
Su Xiaoluo suddenly stood up.
"How is that possible?! There are fences and guards; ordinary undead can't get in."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard the cracking sound of wood breaking and the villagers' even more shrill screams from outside!
"Quick! Put up the fence!"
Su Xiaolu reacted quickly, shouting to the villagers who rushed over after hearing the noise, while she grabbed a thick wooden stick from the door and rushed outside.
The “fence” she was referring to was a series of pre-installed tree stump fences in the village that could be quickly dismantled to divide and block intruders.
Zhang Xiaohou seemed to be disturbed by the commotion outside. He stood up blankly and followed them outside in a daze.
The crowd rushed out of the house, only to find the center of the village in complete chaos. (End of Chapter)
