Chapter 4: Escape

She didn't know how long it took, but Yun Shang felt that even death would be better than such torture.

When she thought she could not hold on any longer, Spiritual spring finally stopped abusing her. At this time, her qualifications had been successfully changed, she was now has Chaos Spiritual Roots. 

But Yun Shang's whole body had already become a bloody mess, and her originally white inner clothes had been dyed blood red. Fortunately, the spiritual spring can not only cleanse the muscles and strengthen the body, but also heal injuries!

After a while, Yun Shang's complexion gradually improved, and her bloody body was gradually repaired by the spiritual power of the spiritual spring water.

After the marrow cleansing was over, all the previous injuries on her body were healed, and her whole body seemed to be filled with endless energy. 

Now she can practice the "Chaos Art". After practicing the technique, she can also has the ability to protect herself in this strange world!

When the pain subsided, Yun Shang was left with dirty blood mixed with black stains covering her entire body. She just lowered her head, frowned in disgust, and began to clean it carefully.

Looking down at the spiritual spring that was purifying the black stains on her body bit by bit, she smiled knowingly, which proved that the spiritual spring also had the function of evolution.

Yun Shang could clearly feel the changes in her body. Her skin became crystal clear, extremely elastic, white and delicate like a peeled egg, with a faint silver glow on the surface.

The body's softness is naturally no longer comparable to before. As for the meridians in the body, they have not only become stronger, but also widened to an incredible degree.

Only after seeing the changes in her body did she curl the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. At this moment, her body could truly be described as as white as ice and

as delicate as jade. She stood up and walked out of the spiritual spring, putting on her clothes again, then she went out of the space.

Yun Shang looked again at the mirror. The girl in the mirror looked so different from her past self, like a pearl covered in dust that has been blown away by the wind.

The wet, soft black hair fell over her shoulders, making her look a little weak.

She had an oval face with a pair of moist peach blossom eyes with a gentle smile, even if she was just looking at the air, she looked extremely affectionate.

The slightly pouty red lips and snow-white skin are more distinct.

Yun Shang couldn't believe that she was so pretty and cute. She was really lucky.

Now that she changed from vulgar mortal girl become cute little fairy, if the uncle's family know it, it will really become big trouble because immortal is still a big deal in mortal family like this.

Thinking about that, looking at the dark night outside, Yun Shang hurriedly prepared to leave this house. After searching the entire room, she found precious five low-grade spirit stones left behind and hidden by the original owner and a few silver.

After she was out of the house, she hurried to the wooden house at the edge of the mountain. It is used by a hunter who lives in the to rest when he goes up the mountain to hunt.

Yun Shang plans to stay there for the night.

The night in Xiazigou was a bit chilly. Everyone in the village was asleep at this time. If it weren't for the bright moon in the sky and the occasional barking of dogs, Yun Shang would have felt like she was thrown into a dark vacuum.

After walking for about an hour, she finally arrived at the wooden house.

The house was made entirely of wood, so the stove was built outside the house and there was only a bed inside. Fortunately, there is no one in the house, Yun Shang go to the cabin and lay down.

After making sure there will be no one coming this night, Yun Shang entered Chaos Space.

Originally, she thought that she would not be able to sleep after so many things happened today. But perhaps it was because the night was too quiet she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down.

The next morning, Yun Shang woke up from a deep sleep, now that her safety guaranteed, she begin to think about what her plan for future.

 From the pitiful five or six years old girl original owner's memory, she knew the village where she lives now is called Xiazigou, which is located in a flat area right between two mountains. It has nothing and is extremely poor.

The mountain south of Narrow Valley is called Yongshan, which is the only way to the county seat. There are many people walking on it on weekdays, but there are no wolves, tigers or leopards, and the road is relatively wide.

If you go north, you will reach Lonely Mountain, which is much taller and steeper than Yongshan Mountain. It has dense jungles and spiritual energy, complex terrain, rich species, and many deadly dangers hidden.

If Yun Shang had not read the novel and had no idea about the situation in the cultivation world, she would definitely choose to run south. 

But this cultivation world is too unfriendly to the weak, especially weak children like her, a particular target to be abducted and sold.

It's better go to Lonely Mountain that has deadly dangers but there's no people, she has Chaos Space as life-saving cheat after all. But if there's people knew her secret, it will become terrible because she knew "A man is innocent, but guilty carrying treasure".

And there is Mushui Town outside the mountains.

Mushui Town is an important stop on the road to cultivation. Many sects recruit disciples there. If she wants to survive in this place, she must go there.

She ran and was about to leave the village at dawn when few people woke up. She could already see the majestic and strange outline of Lonely Mountain in the distance.

"Awoo~!" The short and loud cry startled Yun Shang.

The next second, nimble figures jumped out from the field ridge beside the path, bringing with it a fishy wind, forming a pincer attack and rushing straight towards Yun Shang.

In this crisis, Yun Shang's body moved faster than her brain. She instinctively rolled to the side and avoided the attack.

She calmed herself down and looked carefully.

There were white hunting dog standing not far from her. It was looking at her with his teeth bared, eyes shining, ready for his next attack.

Although this dog is not big in size, it has sharp teeth. It follow it's owners hunting and are not afraid of even wolves, tigers and leopards. It was fierce and clever.

"Brother, we are strangers and have no grudges against each other. Can you please let me go?" Yun Shang slowly stood up, clenched the stick, and tried to reason with it, "I'm not a bad person, really."

White hounds tilted its head, with a hint of doubt in its eyes, as if it was thinking about the logical relationship.

The dog has a very clever look in its eyes, but is small in size and a little skinny. Its fur is not very smooth and it has old wounds on its body. It must be that its owner was not very kind to it.

"I don't want to hurt you, so don't attack me and let me go."

The white dog thought about it, blinked, and slowly stepped aside.

"Thank you!" Yun Shang was very happy. She waved to the white dog

"Woo woo..." The white dog whimpered twice, as if saying goodbye to her.

Yun Shang ran a few steps and looked back. The white dog was still standing there, staring at her.

At this moment, her heart seemed to be hit by something, which made her feel a little painful and warm.

"Or, why don't you go away with me?" This sentence suddenly popped up in Yun Shang's mind for no reason.

"Get rid of the master who treats you badly, and live freely." This dog is intelligent. Maybe living in the mountains and forests is a better destination for it. Maybe it will have better opportunities to make a name for itself.

"But in the end it's still up to you to make your own choice. I won't force you." Yun Shang said slowly.

After hearing these words, the white dog was stunned for a moment, suddenly let out an excited growl, and then ran towards Yun Shang with a cheerful step.

"Good boy, let's go." Yun Shang was happy and touched its head.

"Aoao~" The white dog rubbed her hand and whined excitedly.

Yun Shang took a bowl she got from the space and filled it with spiritual spring water and mentioned it to the white dog to drink. "Here, I have a good thing for you to heal your wounds"

The white dog cleverly drink water in bowl, and tragically like her it whined excitedly because of pain of washing marrow. But maybe it understand it got something good for it, the white dog still endures it.

Looking at the white dog's entire body began to ooze black and red blood reminded her of her own experience. After a while, the white dog no longer whining.

After a while, the white dog's bloody body was gradually repaired by the spiritual power of the spiritual spring water. 

"Awoo!" The loud cry full of excitement with its tail wagging from the white dog reveal its mood.

After washing it, the white dog's fur become smooth and its old wounds disappear on its body.Although it's still skinny, the white dog become more energetic than before. 

So, on this dawn, the woman and the dog ran out of the village together and headed towards Lonely Mountain.

With the white dog who was familiar with the terrain leading the way, Yun Shang was no longer like a headless fly. She felt much more stable as she watched the lonely mountain getting closer and closer.

With dishevelled hair and ragged clothes, she traveled through in the dawn, smelling the scent of dewy earth and occasionally hearing the chirping of insects and frogs. On her first day in this world, she had such an eventful and incredible experience.

Yun Shang really felt unreal. It feels as if all this is in a dream.

But she knew this is her new real life.
