In the blink of an eye, nine months had passed.
Xie Yunnan conducted a random re-examination of the research submitted by her subordinate cultivators.
She arrived at a rural village, with earthen walls and thatched roofs, domesticated animals and dogs running freely, and the people barely clothed.
A group of villagers gazed from afar at Xie Yunnan, who appeared like a Heavenly Immortal, their eyes full of awe and fear. This fear was not so much due to the cultivators themselves, but more from the fear of the unknown.
It turns out that people could be so fair-skinned and dressed so luxuriously.
They were also two-legged people, yet seemed to be of a different species altogether.
This bizarre gaze made Xie Yunnan very uncomfortable, not because of the villagers, but because her long-held worldview was clashing.
